This week we work in a new way with Making Space. Let us commit together to Making Space in The Circle! Every time we are faced with clutter, challenge, intrusive thoughts or resistant behaviors, let us ask ourselves, what would I rather use this energy for. Notice the clutter in your life/mind/world/relationships and when you can, Make Space.

If we all participate, with commitment, joining The Circle, many times a day, and before sleep, our lives will change dramatically this week and in the weeks to come as we work as one, unified community to Make Space and create Transformation in our lives. Add your New Reality to our group healing list at https://www.facebook.com/lauradaycircle/?fref=ts

I suggest that you do the Packing Your Trunk exercise on Page 80 of Welcome To Your Crisis and review Making Space/Transformation in The Circle. As the week progresses, make conscious choices about where you put your energy, resources and thoughts. Expect to be presented with challenges and trigger and each time greet them with excitement as they are occasions to choose something new.

Every time you are about to “react” ask yourself if you really want to continue the old dynamic, and, if not, what you are choosing to put the energy into that is new!

“ Learning to live well means learning to let go. That knowledge and ability make us joyful and successful.

     We all realize the importance of giving up harmful things in our lives: A bad relationship, a debilitating job,. But relinquishing even these things is often impossible until you let go of the sense of self that is bound up with these things.”  (Welcome to Your Crisis p 67)

Making Space is difficult and we all respond to the challenge by defaulting to our Crisis Type. Notice when your reaction style comes up for you and do something different. Remember that we all have elements of all of the types but you are one, predominant type and you have been in “Type” since you were a child.

“* If you are a denial type, chances are that you don’t often see the crisis coming

*If you are an anger type, you probably create most of your crises by destabilizing situations through rage.

* If you are an anxiety type, you are so busy dealing with problems that don’t really exist or matter that the real situations in your life grow to crisis proportions.

* If you are a depression type, you probably let your problems pile up, retreating from appropriate actions even when you know what actions to take, until situations are truly at a crisis point. “ (Welcome To Your Crisis- p 98/98)

Denial Types- Do something that causes you to FEEL. Sing a song that makes you emotional, watch a you tube that elicits feeling so that your effectiveness can address what is really going on and what you want to achieve

Anxiety Types- Do ANYTHING to distract yourself from your obsessions and worries. These obsessive thoughts do not contain your answers! Clean your sock drawer, help a friend with their problem, dance! When you distract your clarity shines through and creates right action for you to achieve your goals.

Anger Types- Release the charge. If you are alone do something physical, jumping jacks for example, until you are calm and your passion, your unique ability to pursue your dreams ceaselessly, can work effectively for you to create change.

Depression Types- Make one small move towards self support. Pick a tiny thing you can do now to address a problem and do it allowing your depth of being and understanding to have impact in your life.

Work with our unified Circle and you own awareness to Make Space for Transformation and your New Reality to occur.

I very much appreciate it when you “share” the exercise and broaden our Circle!

I am excited to hear from you all how this week unfolds. When you share your successes with us you empower our Circle!

I look forward to seeing you upstate New York people at the Circle event on Sunday in Woodstock New York

Where attention goes, energy flows!

This week we will work as one unified energy to do something new. It is an aspect of Embodiment in The Circle, and you can review it in How To Rule The World From Your Couch, under Telepathy. Here is a passage from the book that describes our work this week.

“Before we address how you can use telepathy effectively, we must address the impediments to your natural ability. Right now I want you to be aware of the conversations you have in your head and heart that have no real goal. These include conversations with people who have hurt you in the past; arguments that, even if resolved, have no positive outcome; desires for acknowledgment that really bring you no tangible gain; discussions with the world at large or with God that is too esoteric to bear real results in your life; even conversations you have habitually with yourself that are disempowering.” (p )

I look forward to seeing you all in Phoenix this weekend and exchanging readings and healings!

As many of you are aware, I have been doing free Laying on of Hands/Psychic Healing for my Circle community. Nothing, not even the fulfillment that comes from the most accurate and detailed predictions, equals what I feel knowing that I have played even the smallest role in taking someone from a place of pain and struggle to the health and joy that our lives potentially offer us. These Circles, where I get to literally touch each of you, both intuitively and by laying my hands on you, have given me a sense of purpose and connection to my world, my work, and to each of you amazing beings.

Life is hard, and it takes enormous courage to meet even the most “simple” everyday demands. Sometimes you need to hand your burden to someone else for a while to have your energy enlivened and healed, and in order to open up New Realities in your lives.

I remember the first healing I ever had confirmed. I had performed many layings on of hands before that day, but I never knew, really knew, if they had done any good. I was 11 years old, and my mother was in a coma from which she was not expected to recover. I focused my healing on her, from a distance, and negotiated her healthy return. Although I hadn’t seen her since she had been admitted to intensive care, and no one had reported her condition to me, the chaplain they had sent to speak with me verified that what I was seeing “in my head” was in fact what was happening to her.  When my mother made a miraculous recovery and awakened, she confirmed that she had been aware of what I was doing every step of the way.

By now, 44 years later, I have had many such verifications of miraculous healings in people’s bodies, relationships, businesses, and lives. What I wish for you is that you become cognizant of your own powerful healing and intuitive gifts and use them in the world, starting with yourself. You matter. You can change your life, you can change my life, and you can change the world. You make the difference! The healing and miraculous strokes of insight and good fortune that I receive every time I lead or participate in a Circle motivate me to do more. I give what I have to offer, and I receive exactly what I need in return. This is the dynamic life takes on when you live in The Circle.

Receiving hands-on or psychic healing in a group is one of the most powerful and transformative dynamics that I have ever experienced. Day to day you can foil your own best efforts.  You are conducting a tug of war with you, an evenly matched struggle between your past patterns and beliefs and the you who wants to emerge.

When you heal in a group, joining your energy with others and then channeling the infinite energy we all share, you harness a massive force in the battle with the old you. Your now-outmoded and, therefore, dysfunctional system cannot survive this tidal wave of energy. Your future overcomes your history. Your goal overpowers your patterns. In a unified group you achieve for yourself what you alone cannot.

When I wrote The Circle: How the Power of a Single Wish Can Change Your Life, it was my hope that people would use it to form their own groups to facilitate one another’s dynamic change. In the latest edition I added my own workbook. Many of you have made my hope a reality by teaching Circle groups, holding Circle services with intuition and healing exchange, lightening one another’s load! In doing so you have found that you are all healers, intuitives, teachers, and creators of miracles.

I am now doing a series of Healing Circles based on The Circle so that I can participate in a meaningful way in these miracles of change. We are all here to heal the world, and we do this by first healing our own lives, together. The Circle mantra is that you matter, your goals matter, your pain matters, and when you heal yourself, you heal us all.

Some of you have asked me what to expect after a Circle Healing. I get emails attesting to the miracles that happen hours, even days after a Circle: miraculous physical healing, strokes of good fortune, propitious chance meetings, reconciliations, and so on.  But I also get emails full of confusion at how clearly and intensely the obstacles and pain can feel after a healing.  Both situations, though they seem polar opposites, are positive results.

Healing forcefully re-patterns your body, your awareness, and your life — the external reality of what you are attracting to you. You, however, need to be willing to remain on the healing path.  You can’t heal what you don’t feel, and immediately after a Circle group or Laying on of Hands, you may experience a heightened sense of what blocks your healing — which people, situations, and habits. This is the clarity of intuition at work. You are no longer able to remain comfortably in the old matrix as The Circle/Your Healing brings the new world you’ve summoned closer to you.

Change — even wonderful, miraculous change — is hard and daunting. You know how to do the old thing you were doing. To have your wish, you need to accept the risk of something new. I wrote a whole book (Welcome to Your Crisis) to address this very important moment of transition and transition delayed. As a good friend of mine says, we heal at the speed of pain, and sometimes it is only pain that will drive us to remain on the path of healing.  Pain is not my favorite teacher, but it is one I often encounter.  I, too, struggle to find the enlightenment and consciousness that will help me embrace the lesson quickly and limit the pain!

The other way a healing works is for you to finish the job you started, to consciously commit to a new path, to remind yourself to notice, after a healing, anything new and potentially wonderful that might be entering your life, and to make even the smallest moves towards it.

You may not feel healed after a healing! It doesn’t mean that the healing didn’t work. Embrace the obstacles as part of the process. You want your own best interests to be met in the healthiest, deepest part of your being. You are bringing in only the challenges that you have the ability to master and that, when you master them, will take you to what you truly want and who you truly want to be. When pain or an obstacle occurs, ask yourself, “What am I now demanding that I learn/heal/accept? What am I trying to give myself that I had accepted living without?” Perhaps even ask yourself why you have chosen this particular obstacle or issue to be your teacher.  There is often another, less painful way to master the task at hand.

Many of you have heard me say, before a Laying on of Hands/Psychic Healing, that you don’t have to do anything to heal during a Circle — that we, the healers do it for you. If you knew how to heal the particular issue you are working on — if you could get out of your own way and master your own resistance — you wouldn’t be at a Healing Circle. If your belief had to be strong for the healing to work, your belief would be doing the work, not the healing! In a Laying on of Hands, it is our job in the Circle to heal you.

But after a healing you have choices. A healing disassembles the old matrix, the old reality, and brings in opportunities for transformation. You can either work hard to move in a healthy direction or work hard to reassemble the old pathology. Either way, you will be working hard.

My hope for 2015 is to do Laying on of Hands/Psychic Healing in free Circles around the country. If you would like one in your community, email me at lauradayhealingcircle@aol.com . All I need is a bookstore, yoga studio, or other comfortable and somewhat private space to host the event. The space needs to hold 50 people. If you are a healer (or one of my students), please send me an email about yourself, because I always love extra healing hands at the Circles, and, since I do not do private healing sessions, it is nice for people to have local healers to work with!

You can work with each Circle by doing The Circle: How the Power of a Single Wish Can Change Your Life in between and during the Healing Circles. Each Circle will focus on one element of change as we open every path to our New Reality together!

When you sign up for my newsletter you will be informed of upcoming Laying on of Hands/Psychic Healing Circles.

I am holding you all in my healing embrace and grateful for the healing embraces that return to me from you.

Are you a victim of Psychic attack?

Are you having trouble manifesting your goals? Are you physically and emotionally depleted? Do you suddenly look less attractive than you used to? Are you unable to bounce back from a failed relationship or a disappointment? Have you lost faith in yourself? You talents? Are you unable to let go of a person or situation? Are you attracting challenging synchronicities?

If out of the blue and without cause you feel anxious, depressed, angry or otherwise out of sorts you may be under psychic attack. If you begin making mistakes or having situations and relationships in your life go wrong without reason, you may be under psychic attack and there are actions you can take right now to re-claim your life

In my circles there is a lot of talk about psychic attack without much information about what it is. To understand psychic attack it is important to be aware of the way that people communicate non-locally or at a distance. Most people have experienced knowing that a loved one far away needed them without being informed in a traditional way or calling a loved one at the exact same moment that that person called you. That is an instance of non-local communication.

The person attacking you may not even be conscious that they are doing so. Because of the nature of telepathy (mind to mind communication) someone who is consistently directing his or her negative emotion at you is unconsciously attacking you. Your mind cannot differentiate between the feelings you are being “sent” and your healthy feelings about yourself and the world. Additionally, living with someone who is in the grip of toxic emotion can transmit that emotion to you. We are sponges, especially with those with whom we have or have had a close emotional bond.

Over fifty years of research on parapsychology by major universities such as Duke and Stanford as well as government research in areas such as remote viewing has shown that non-locality is a fact of life not just for human beings but even for the smallest organisms.

We as human beings thrive by allowing our strengths to support our weaknesses. Psychic attack works by illuminating your weaknesses so that in essence you attack yourself emotionally, spiritually and by your behavior in the world. Psychic self-defense protects you and can even strengthen you by reversing this process. The key to psychic self-defense is to be scrupulous about releasing toxic thoughts, habits, energy, emotion and thoughts by redirecting your attention to the positives in your life and keeping maintaining healthy routines. Psychic attack works by getting into the “cracks” in your life, sense of self and routine.

In my book HOW TO RULE THE WORLD FROM YOUR COUCH I teach people how to use their intuitive senses such as precognition (knowing the future), telepathy, medium ship and healing. One of the most important parts of that book, and one that initially my readers find less compelling, is how to block and defend those senses. This is the core of psychic self-defense and the key to using all of your energy productively in your own life.

If you feel under attack here are some very effective remedies.

1.     Call on your guides, friends and healers. There is power in numbers. Ask them to include you daily in their prayers, meditations and healings.

2.     Redirect your thoughts. One of the symptoms of psychic attack is that your thoughts are drawn to the vulnerable in yourself. When you have toxic thoughts or dwell or even obsess about someone or something, consciously redirect your thoughts to something or someone constructive. At first you may need to do this hundreds of times a day! Make a list of positive goals in your life and choose from this list whenever you have a painful or self-loathing thought.

3.     Take a sea salt bath with 4 white candles (representing your stability) while imaging light and grace filling your body and life with every breath you take.

4.     Focus on what is right in your life. Psychic attack works by engaging you in your own darkness. Spend time in the “sunny rooms” of your life.

5.     When you are vulnerable stay away from situations and people who have an undermining effect on your life and self worth. Often, unfortunately, we are related to these people! Limit the time you spend in contact with anyone who is not 100 percent on your team.

6.     Avoid rumination and projection. Be mindful and in the moment. Your power is not in the past or in the future it is in the moment.

7. Create holy water. Studies of water (Dr. Emoto and others) have shown that if you hold water while experiencing a positive feeling that water is transformed in a way that creates health/blessings. Before you eat or drink send healing images and loving energy to whatever goes into you. It is your own magic potion. You can ask others to bless your food/drink for you. This is the hidden power of saying grace over food. I always have a case of water that I ask people to bless and I share with neighbors to drink, put on injuries, dying plants, and so on.

8. Create sacred spaces.  Smudge your bed and put some talisman, crystals or other symbols of protection around you. Create an alter. Make sure that your living environment is a clean, blessed and sacred as you can make it. Allow your home to be your temple.

9. Maintain healthy habits and routines. Psychic attack works by challenging your balance. Use discipline to maintain good food, sleep, exercise and interpersonal habits and healthy self-talk.

10. Do not retaliate. When someone attacks they are leaving their own life exposed. Energy is limitless but attention is not. If you are using your attention to harm or manipulate someone that is attention that is directed away from building the successful healthy life you deserve.

During times of psychic attack it is important to do all of the earth reality things such as seeing your doctor if you are feeling physically ill or a therapist if you feel you can’t cope.  If your malaise lifts and your life feels on track when using the above suggestions you were probably a victim of psychic attack!  You may want to have one ritual you do every day to clear your energy such as mediation, blessing your food and drink or taking a salt bath just to keep intruders away!

I join you in The Circle and in our group healings each day on twitter

Dear Circle,

I read all of your e-mails and many of you have had a very hard few months. What strikes me the most about our Circle is your efforts to maintain your humanity even when your challenges are so great that they feel inhuman.

Healing practices like meditation, good diet, exercise, laying on of hands, prayer (and so many more) help give you the strength to use the most difficult experience to grow and heal as well as to heal others. It is easy to forget that the spiritual work is not in the practice but in the courage to deal with the everyday challenges of being human.

I ask you all to join together this month to honor and strengthen your human practices. Your ability to be kind in every situation (especially to yourself), your acknowledgement of the good job you are doing even when you feel you are doing it imperfectly, the amazing resourcefulness that it takes for you to attend to the many, many details of daily living from brushing your teeth to planning your next career move. Transcendence is the “commercial break” the elbow grease of spirituality is attending to daily living and relationships with integrity.

Intuition allows you to get more information and have more impact, using The One, the energy that we all share. That same Oneness can allow you to be victimized by other peoples needs, demands and judgements. Remember to do the parts in HOW TO RULE THE WORLD FROM YOUR COUCH and THE CIRCLE where you fill yourself with… YOU so that you can direct the energy of The One towards your own goals.

I often hear doubts from you about whether your goals are spiritual or worthy. Your goals are simply symbols that you choose to organize your resources for growth. When you embrace a goal, you embrace life. Often you may not understand, at the outset, why a particular goal is important to you and you worry about being selfish or not spiritual enough. You are a spiritual being. Everything you do is spiritual. Good people achieve their goals using humanistic means. If you are even asking yourself if your goal is “selfish” or “spiritual” you are a person with integrity and goodness. Embrace your goals, trust yourself and join with the energy we all share, the energy of The One to create your goals in your life. As you create your own goals you will be creating a better world for others.

Give yourself the suggestion that with every inhalation you will draw helpful resources, people and experiences to you and with every exhalation you will send the energy of your goal into the world to be felt and responded to by others. Allow yourself to experience the power and love of the interconnected universe we live in. Please bring others into our Circle by re-tweeting, sharing on your social media and creating your own groups to use “COUCH’ and ‘THE CIRCLE” to share intuition and healing in community.

I will be posting more free workshops in the next few months so please check the site.

We join together as one community of energy to achieve our goals and honor our work to live each day with humanity!

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG!

Love,

Laura Day

P.S.- Those of you who have been asking for a West Coast event, I have just scheduled one for the spring! I will post on the site and tweet as soon as the dates are firm. If you are interested in a one day intensive healing training please e-mail me at healingday@aol.com with the subject line “Healing Training” (New York and Los Angeles only). Boot Camp 2014 is posted on the site. Thank you all for the great healing work you have done the last few months on our healing list. Remember, I am the only one who reads your e-mails so if you make them short and to the point I can respond more effectively! I am honored to share your lives. As always, I ask healing for my lovely family, Samson,Caroline, Stephen(my husband of one month!), Oliver and myself.
