This week we join our energy and intention to change reality
Today we begin a week of working on EMBODIMENT or experiencing our wish as if it were already a reality.
We will be working on each element of The Circle and joining forces to create our New Reality. When we focus on a single element together we multiply our power exponentially. We are a community full of energy and resources. Let us work together to create change.
People confuse embodiment with positive thinking or creative visualization and it is neither. In positive thinking you block out (or at least try) all “negative” thoughts. When you embody you allow all perceptions, difficult and pleasing, to come to your awareness and you deal with the difficult ones and allow the pleasing ones to give you momentum and strength. Although some of your information and experience may come to you visually, when you embody you are using all of your senses, sight, smell, touch, hearing, seeing and thinking to experience something new.
More details are in chapter 2 of The Circle. If your local library needs a copy please let me know. the more people working together energetically the more quickly we will all create changes in our lives!
THE ENERGY THIS WEEK IS THE ENERGY OF EXPERIENCE, TELEPATHY AND CREATING EVENTS AND CONNECTIONS FROM OUR INNER WORLD TO THE OUTER WORLD. FIND THAT ENERGY WITHIN YOURSELVES AND THEN JOIN IT WITH THE GROUP.
All week, all the time, and as a group, a single energy we will consciously commit to experiencing a New Reality for ourselves and one another. Use your healing to hold the entire group as a dynamic and powerful seed of change between your hands allowing it to transform to create each persons New Reality as they create for you.
We are always working together subconsciously as we commit and recommit to this group each week. However, the conscious act of committing all resources to the creation of a single group goal in its individual parts is more powerful than we could ever perceive. We can see the power in the dynamic changes in ourselves and in our lives as a result of this intentional act.
The Circle is not magic. It is the dynamic science of being human. When you commit to a goal you also commit to dealing with all of the obstacles between you and that goal! However, you are not alone. You have this community of healers to help you move mountains and build dreams on even ground!
When you experience a New Reality, even a conflicted one, as it will be in the beginning, you send out a different pattern of energy changing the events around you. You co-create your reality!
You may also want to review TELEPATHY in HOW TO RULE THE WORLD FROM YOUR COUCH and work in a more focused manner with this valuable skill.
Add your questions and observations this week on this site. Do the second element in The Circle Workbook or record your experiences and intuitions in your journal if you do not have the edition with the workbook.
I join you this week in embodiment and I thank you for being a part of creating my New Reality with me as I create yours with you!
Let us join our energy to bring more people into this Circle in 2011 especially those lost or in need of community.
WE WILL LIVE THIS YEAR HAND AND HAND, IN COMMUNITY AND IN THE REALITY WE HAVE CHOSEN FOR OURSELVES.
LOVE,
LAURA
Hello everyone! I am embarrassed to reveal that up until yesterday I was still struggling with my wish. While talking with another circle member I was piecing together all these feelings and strong reactions I had been having for months. She was telling me that I need to choose ONE wish! I kept bouncing back and forth between wishing for a new job and better health. I currently work with young children and while every adult in the same environment around me seems in good health I am constantly battling strep throat, sinus infections, bronchitis, weird viruses, etc. My students seem to get sick a lot and I am right there with them. Obviously there is a lesson I need to learn, because something keeps knocking me on my ass and I couldn’t seem to put my finger on it.
I was explaining to my friend that I know exactly how I want to act/be in my new reality, but I couldn’t quite name the job that I wanted. I told her in my new reality when things are going well, I don’t wait for the other shoe to drop. Which I will have you know is what I DIDN’T do this week. I was having a good week and started to wonder when something bad was going to come. I was so sick on Friday morning and my pulse got so high that I went into the hospital.
The pattern that I felt in my new reality was security. I have terrible anxiety over my job, my health and being alone. Those were the three wishes I was kicking around and then it ocured to me that those three things were like bandages, but underneath must be the illness that needs to be cured. Or rather the wish that must be wished upon. It all comes down to me feeling insecure in my life and there is evidence everywhere supporting that fact. Instead of going for my real dreams, I got a solid, SECURE job that has great benefits and a pension. I am very overweight and have overeaten every time I don’t feel secure like I am building a suit of armor…
I feel that if my wish is something like “I feel secure and have a solid foundation of loved ones to help me” would eventually lead me towards the other things I long for.
Am I mistaken? Should my wish be something more tangible???
As always, sending love and healing to you Laura and the rest of the group! Please send some this way as I am struggling with this strep infection that is not responding well to antibiotics… 🙁
Thanking everyone in advance for reading through this!!! Much love to you all! <3
Recently, I have not been able to feel that I’m gathering healing energy between my hands. It’s as if nothing is happening. It feels like the big empty. This is distressing me and I feel vulnerable and afraid. I have used this energy for a support for myself (I’m going through a divorce) and for others I know who are desperately in need of healing.
Today, I tried to hold the group in healing and I ended up with the same non-response. What can I do. Advise please.
I don’t always “feel” it either and then someone will call and say “I felt you working on me” . Even if you can’t allow yourself to be conscious of “it” right now be assured that it is happening. From experience I can say that divorce makes you question your effectiveness in every area of your life and the “not feeling” your power when you do a healing is probably just part of that.
Keep doing them. We need you!
Sending you healing now (ps, not just a phrase.. I am really sending you healing)
Love,
Laura
That is a great wish as long as you have a way of knowing when it has happened. Secure is a feeling and can be subjective while a job is a reality that you can point to and say “ok , I have that now on to the next thing. If you make the “feeling” your wish, as you can have so many supports and still not feel it, you will have to list what you would have when the wish happens to know that you have created it. Your “feeling” safe and supported may be the last thing that occurs even when you are!
xoxo
Laura
This one is right on point for me especially the telepathy aspect. There are a lot of people to connect and send a clear message to in a mutually beneficial way.
Hi Dear Laura,
I spent time trying on my New Wish 2011, as directed in your New Year post.
It was harder than I thought (actually I didn’t think it would be hard at all, I thought :oh this’ll be fun to feel out my wish inventory).
I have seen that while I do recognize the wish I go to bed yearning for and waking up wanting, I also have a really strong belief that it is not possible, in life, for people to have it. Anyone, not just me.
I feel defeated.
In remedy mode I sought the Coherence chapter in my 1st edition Circle Book.
Any more wisdom + direction would be welcome.
I am willing to “talk” to my obstacle, but I gotta admit, it is heavy, and if there is a good/better plan of attack with your materials I would be grateful.
Wishin’ + A Wantin’ in NYC
It sounds like you are doing a great job of using The Circle!! It isn’t always easy and when you begin a new wish it rarely is as the obstacles do tend to arise.
The good thing is that we are working this together. Do the group healing and include yourself (and me!) and the roadblocks will begin to turn to gravel.
xoL
I only have on boot camp planned, in the fall in NYC. They are very intensive both for you all and for me as I am reading the whole week end so I like to do them close to home.
xoLaura
I am really touched by the depth of your comments to this weeks work
It is a struggle when you first embody a New Reality. There is a reason that it is not in your life and all of those reasons come up on day one. Stick with it, stick together, do the healings as often as possible and we will create our New Reality in our lives
We are a community and we are not alone!
Love,
Laura
Hi Laura,
I would love to be a part of the Circle community and wanted to know where to find / how to join. I have The Circle and am still working on the wish I made a year ago. It’s been an amazing part of where my life is going and I think joining the group would help me pick it back up and really continue to focus on continuation of it. Plus, would like to learn more of how I can send energy to others in their wishes (if I’m saying that “correctly”!). Thank you!
Here, facebook and lauradayintuit on twitter is our community. You can also sign up for the newsletter and if you are in NYC or upstate near Woodstock NY you can attend free mini workshops.
Healing is in both The Circle and How to rule the world from your couch although I give simple instructions in many of the blogs.
Warmly,
Laura
Thank you for your response, Laura! I love how I continue learning/”seeing” more even when I’m re-reading something like my Circle workbook.
Practical Intuition was recommended to me while I was going through a difficult time a few years ago. I cannot express how it (you) helped me – and as I mentioned above, the Circle has been incredible. I’m really trying to carve out some (quiet!) time to focus again on both Circle and working on the various forms of intuition you write about in Rule World from Couch.
Would LOVE to go to one of your workshops but am down in Florida so for now, will follow through your FB/Tw/newsletter… Again, thank you so much….
Welcome Angela, me too I´m working on a wish that I started to work on in last May. Only now, feeling really committed to the Circle work and to the groups exercises I see the enormous change in my inner and outer life. I feel so grateful and blessed to be part of this group! My last nights intention for our group was: may we gain strength, seeing today in the outer world clear signs/results of our New Reality. And I had 3 requests for new projects in one day! (Usual is 3 per month!). Blessings, Vicky
Thank you, Vicky, for the “welcome”and for sharing what you did. There have been some truly amazing things that have happened when I was actively working on my intuition / Circle – and through Laura’s “morning quickie” that I downloaded from iTunes and do most mornings. I look forward to being here with you!
Teresa, Sending you strength. Wrap a cozy scarf around your neck (wear it day & night) and let the warmth remind you that you are loved!!
Holding and Sending Healing and Love.
This question may be getting too technical: as my initial roadblocks resolve into sub goals–for example, I notice I need to attract more support on the way to getting to have my new reality–what do I do with those subgoals? Do I spend time especially embodying them? or do I somehow add them to my embodiment of my new reality, making a place for them and visiting them as I embody my whole new reality? Thanks for any insight or help; I don’t want to get off track.
Greetings Circle community,
Interesting reading the comments, and sensing the wave of enery among us.
Well, the embodiment element seems to wax and wane daily for me. When I first did the exercise, I felt unstoppable and very much aligned with my intention. I could totally feel, sense, see it. I acted ‘as if’ and then key people called, or an old contact resurfaced. But then the next day, I got zilch, nada or it feels like a total stretch to embody, and I begin to question myself. But its not only my wish I begin to question, but other things in life, such as relationships or other side projects, that maybe haven’t been serving me or my new reality. Things have been surfacing, its not always very comfortable, and I’m not used to these drastic levels of emotions, but I’ve got to believe that its all tied into creating my new reality. I have faith in the Circle and trust that the process will work out in the end.
I’m not giving up and continue to send healing to everyone here. Thank you for you, 🙂
Embodying is all about working through the obstacles.
The energy is in the resistance and the movement, the new perceptions required to get through it.
Looks like you are doing it right!!!
Lucia,
I completely relate to your comment. I was doing so well with my New Reality, and then last night my old fears, and patterns resurfaced and I felt disconnected. I woke up this morning, and I decided to accept the old emotions as something positive, because I now know how I need to release my old reaction since they are not working for me in my New Reality. What helped me the most was to revamp my reality tale, and everything I questioned became more clear, and I was able to pick and choose what I wanted in my New Reality.
Thank you everyone for the healing love, I am always sending out to The Circle.
Laura, what you say makes so much sense. As change is cccuring, new perceptions relating to that change are part and parcel with creating the new reality. The process really works. Thank you so much for pointing it out.
Elena, Good to hear I’m not the only one! I hadn’t thought of revamping the reality tale. What a great idea! I loved your statment about releasing you old reaction.
I feel the energy of the circle as I read these comments, particularly those that touch on my own experience. Still, however, embodying is difficult for me, as the resistance created by the obstacles that surface in response to my wish feel overwhelming. I seem to spend so much time working through the obstacles and they, not the wish, seem to dominate my thinking and behaving. Any suggestions on how I can respond to the obstacles in a way that gets me un-stuck?
Simply responding to them as you stay on point with The Circle and your New Reality is responding. Not always fun but it gets you where you want to go!
Love,
laura
Wow! I had a tough afternoon and night. It was helpful to have read your post, Lucia and your comment, Laura! I had people moving away from me in business contests, myself perceiving people differently – a lot of heavy and scaring stuff. But one of my most dear friends re-appeared in my life and I trust in the process and am willing to see my inner obstacles and transform them into a truer, clearer, more beautiful and more successful expression of (my)self! My blessing for the group this morning was inspired by an old japanese Shinto belief: that only a broken heart is an open heart. Open to give and receive. So may we all enjoy the dis-creation of what we no longer wish in our life and ourselves, to transform to our wonderful New Reality! Love, Vicky
Vicky, sounds like we both had a similar experience, with our perceptions and such. Like Laura says, you’re not alone! The Shinto belief you shared was very beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Hello Lucia, hello group friends, you are welcome! Thinks are getting better and I have found out that you can use embodying to find lost things, like a credit card, embodying the experience of having it found – it always works for me – great thing to trust in embodying bigger Realities then a credit card! Have fun, Vicky
I just re-read your post (Laura) and your comment about the New Reality as a conflicted goal struck me. Every time I embody my New Reality, major obstacles surface and I’m caught putting all my energy into resolving them (or fighting them). But, according to your statement, I should expect this to happen. Is that right? Could it be that the purpose of the New Reality can be to bring unconscious (and conflicting) goals/wishes to the surface in order to respond to them?
Or it brings the conflicts between the goals so that they can all happen with integrity
As I started the journey to my new reality this week, focusing on embodiment immediately made me recognize that my biggest obstacle towards achieving it is my own insecurity. (By the way, I listen to your Daily Practice or Healing Circle meditations each morning on my way to work which is a great way to get focused on intentional creation.) When you talk about sending a strong message about our new reality to the outside world, how do I handle the even stronger messages to myself that keep floating around in my head? Are our own thoughts a type of internal telepathy? Because I am in the Circle, I believe that I uncovered a resource this week that could be a simple, yet profound strategy for squashing those insecure thoughts. I do have moments of doubt, but when I check in here and read other people’s comments it helps me stay determined to persevere. Thanks everyone. (Trying to send healing out to the group once a day at least.)
Dear JCM,
I agree with you-my biggest internal obstacles are my own insecurities.
I decided what I wanted and started embodying, and my mind was quiet and supportive for about a day. I went to bed thinking, “Wow, this is easy!” And then I got up the next morning and my mind had switched on all the nasty comments. Today, for example, every time I embody the only things that come up are these mean shouting (and I mean SHOUTING) arguments. They go something like: “You aren’t worthy of this goal! You’ve never succeeded before! You’ll never be good enough for this!” alternating with “This goal is not worthy of you! You should have picked something more worthwhile!”
To answer your question, I think that in my case many of these negative comments are telepathy. For example, some of the mean shouts in my brain come from my father, from a conversation I’ve been having with him for years. Looking at the origins of some of my internal chatter (and re-reading How To Rule the World From Your Couch) has allowed me to recognize that I myself am not the chatter, and that I can do things to END those conversations and refocus on what I want.
It is so good to hear from other people!
Hi everyone!! I also have been struggling all week with the obstacles in my way of my New Reality!! Sometimes they have gotten bad enough to where I disengage from life and my feelings. I have learned alot though by keeping on connecting with the group and reading all your wonderful post that I now realize I am on the right path and will continue to connect often with the group as the more I do the closer my goal feels.. I have totally embodied it and am living it as if it already has happened and the stress level has gone down. Thanks to all of you for the support on the way to getting to where we all want to be! Sending love and healing to everyone right now.Together we are strong. Love DJ xoxo
I like that fact that this isn’t based on “positive thinking.” When you try to be positive all the time, eventually all the negative stuff comes up and overwhelms you. This approach seems way more realistic.
I am with you on this one. I think that when you make your own thoughts, or anything about your being “the enemy” you are asking for trouble!
Thank you to everyone for the wonderful healing this week and for the insightful comments!
Sending love to you all,
Anne
During one of your online telepathy seminar’s, you say to notice the thoughts right when you wake up, because they can be powerfully intuitive. When I wake up I’m usually worried about something really stressful that I don’t have that much power to change in the moment and it’s usually better to comfort myself and get on with my life and be productive. It helps me get a grip on my anxiety. Does that make sense or do you have any better suggestions for dealing with these worries or am I missing intuitive hits?
You sound like an anxiety type. Look at WELCOME TO YOUR CRISIS! You need to jump out of bed and distract with a task that is small and you can complete right away. I would bet that you don’t “wake up” anxious but that you thoughts, and not your intuition takes you to anxiety before you have a chance to integrate what was going on for you right when you awakened.
Try redirecting (distracting) with a useful activity and see if this changes for you
xo Laura
Thank you Laura! Putting it into practice, it’s been helpful, slowly learning to make it a habit.
Sending love, support and healing to our circle to embody and enjoy our new realities this weekend! Lots of love
