Why Spiritual Medicine Is Needed More Than Ever Before

… And 6 ACTION Steps To Take Now

The energies these past couple weeks, months, and years have been increasing in the intensity of change, integration, spiritual growth, and discernment.

Are you feeling the growing shifting waves of energies? What a ride so far huh?

I am NOT sure if this post is just for me to take stock of where I am, where I was and where I am headed or if this message will resonate with you and inspire you in some way.

With all that’s unraveling, shifting, disrupting, up-leveling, I’ve learned one string of things over the last 16yrs since THIS journey began for me after the struggles of leaving a domestic abusive marriage … that is to

Stop.
Pause.
Surrender into the natural flow of life
Listen to the divine soulful whispers within
And take action.

Who I have become is thanks to the connection to spirit & spiritual medicine I have learned to embrace in my life and in my work – over many decades.

It is the one thing I see missing in today’s “modern colonialist consumerist culture”.

What is missing … is the link to the divine connection to the spirit of life, its wisdom and its medicine.

Why is that?

I think the why will need to be answered another day as that’s a little more complicated rooted with weavings into patriarchy, systemic oppression, colonization, and control.

I believe the fundamental story in movie Avatar eloquently showed us if you can get passed the sci-fi box office plot. I always wondered if the movie was released prematurely as its message is needed NOW.

We do NOT have to work harder.

We do NOT need to go back to school and get another certificate or degree.

We do NOT have work ourselves into the grave.

We just need to tap into the infinite wisdom of the spiritual world. Think I am nuts?

We all have gut instincts that have helped us save our child from something or to close a sale or to hit some mark successfully.

We have all experienced this to some degree. Some call it alignment. I see those instincts connected to this same spiritual world I am speaking about.

But first, let me share with you a glimpse of my 2020 year and how I am moving forward.

My 2020 Story

The year 2020 started out to be the best year in my career and personal life since I left my abuser in 2005 (who near destroyed me). I was on par to have the best year of my career, looking to expand my office, hire my first employee, and work towards more professional education. While working with professionals and state agencies to make this all happen and to become whole in my own trauma recovery & healing, I was fortunate to have qualified for a grant for an addictions counseling certification program.

Like many others who suffered the wrath of 2020, I am still recovering from the string of unfortunate events that included …

readjusting how I work
family health challenges
an unexpected and sudden fostering of a traumatized puppy and a cat.
discovering my abusive ex moved to Florida with my children without permission (Now a court issue)
working towards completing my addictions counseling certification at UMass Boston
Finally, having a medical crisis that required surgery.

I share my struggles, my victories and journey with you to keep it real and hopefully the words and inspiration I speak on these pages will inspire someone. I walk this path with you NOT just talks about it.

Why Spiritual Medicine Is Needed NOW More Than Ever

While all these human events occurred like a sequence of hurricanes that pummeled the shores one after another before the shorelines had time to recuperate, I never lost sight of my divine spark within.

Did I question my faith, my purpose, or my life?

YES. Of coarse, I did.

That is called being HUMAN.

However, understanding that my soul – the divine presence within me – has a greater wisdom and knowledge than me to guide me in this current storm was critical. It is the ONE thing that keeps me balanced, centered, focused, healthy, and ON PURPOSE.

All while STILL showing up in this hurricane we all experienced in 2020.

Guiding others on their spiritual journey.
Holding a safe container for others to dig deep, heal old wounds/stories, reclaim their power, and stand in their truths.
Starting my clinical internship for my addictions counseling certification.

This connection to the divine within is a skillset that has systematically been stripped away from us through systems of control like governments, corporations, and formalized religions.

The spirit world can NOT be controlled, monetized or tamed. The spirit world just is. It is BIGGER than the human construct or human consciousness. As history has shown us, these systems of control are threatened by its medicine that is offered, but that is changing NOW.

These powers are losing control NOT by rebellious humans acting stupid and irresponsible, but my the Universe itself.

I am human that still has human experiences regardless of my spiritual development. By February 2021, I was a nervous wreck. Why?

I let my head get in the way temporarily trying to force things to happen while beating my head against the wall. Sound familiar?

So instead, I stopped.

I paused.

I listened to the whispers of the divine within.

What I heard from the spirit realms was that 2021 was an integration year for me – a pause year – a clearing out year – a rebalancing year.

Any project I want to launch NOW or attempt to launch now will be met with obstacles. I need to focus on clearing out the rest of the “clutter” and build a MORE solid foundation than the last one and come out banging in 2022.

So I sighhhhhhed.

I stopped and paused.

I put together an action plan.

I worked my personal numerology and my astrological signs with what I saw collectively energetically for 2021 and as I forecasted earlier this year and said OK.

So I decided it is time to switch gears. What do I do NOW?

I have been strengthening my systems and foundations.

I have been calling in and seeking out authentic solid sustainable partnerships, while listening to my soul like a GPS to guide me on where to go and which turns to take.

Are you finding yourself in a similar pattern?

6 ACTION Steps To Take NOW

There is sooooo much polarity and division happening here in the USA and globally it is like watching a bunch of parentless children running around aimlessly without guidance, self discipline or moral fortitude.

As we continue to grow and evolve, please BE gentle with yourself AND others.

Many of our fellow humans are stuck in fear and struggling with trusting in spirit or letting go of the egoic mindset. Be aware of this when it creeps in.

1.BE aware that our thoughts may NOT even be our own, but part of the collective consciousness.

2. BE aware that some of what is surfacing is OLD stories and old traumas that were stuck in

the soil we reside

the blood in our veins and electrical circuitry from our genealogy – aka generational trauma

the spirit of our soul from our past karma and past lives

in the mind and bodies of our own past traumas

3. It is important to build a strong relationship with the diving presence within – soul – spirit – in order to have the skillset to discern what is ours, what is NOT, and what is our contribution to it.

If you think you already have it, you do not. Build a stronger one.

4. Remember to

Stop.

Pause.

Choose what action to take next.

5. Above all, please

BE kind

BE compassionate.

BE the solution the world needs.

As I wrote in my 2021 energy forecast, this is a year for change. It is a year for creating more balance between the human ego material world and the spiritual world.

6. It is imperative we find a way to shed the colonized mindset that has been cultivated and bridge in the necessary spiritual medicine & cultivate a relationship with Spirit once again honoring what the Universe is requiring of us in this time and space.

Reflections with Osprey Post Solar Eclipse

Picture taken during the 2017 solar eclipse on Cape Cod
by: Laura Joseph

I wrote this after a few days of sifting through pictures, deep reflections and meditation with osprey.

For some reason I felt a huge tug every time I looked at the photos I took of a few osprey while on Cape Cod during the 2017 solar eclipse. So I decided to let the messages flow at the end of my pen.

I hope you receive the magic and guidance of osprey as I did. Here is what came out as a result:

Today, I continue to spread my wings surrendering my fears.

Fear and anxiety begins to dissipate when I trust my wings will guide me to new heights.

All is well.

The osprey in me guides me to reclaim my power healing old emotional wounds surfaced and let the past traumas of abuse to strengthen me.

With the osprey, I am taught to trust in abilities and have the confidence to know I can achieve my goals.

With osprey, I gain clarity in my visions strengthened by the recent solar eclipse (I took this pic at the observatory while we witnessed the solar eclipse)

With osprey, I am keenly aware of the messages from the divine and listen for their divine guidance.

With osprey, I transform and transmute all that no longer serves me for my highest and best.

With osprey, I communicate more effectively.

And so it is

Thank you.

With love and appreciation,
Laura

Your Soul Is Trying To Awaken. Are You Listening To The Signs?

Wow what a September it has been. Talk about a roller coaster ride. Our soul has been tugging on us to wake up. Have you been feeling this?

I have been noticing for some there have been major breakthroughs and a sigh of relief.

For others, the challenges just seem to be piling on.

If you are like me and have been talking to others in the Spiritual community or even in healthcare especially psychotherapy, the synchronicities have been amplified like we have never seen before in this lifetime.

There are common themes I have been noticing.

We are not alone. We are all one and connected energetically as one. Many of us already knew this, but it seems to be really drilled home.
Many people are reporting similar chaotic experiences occurring at the same time.
Those who are experiencing challenges especially involving a parent/child relationship, have been greatly tested.
Those who are resistant … deliberately, not deliberately or even subconsciously … to the current cosmic shifts and calls from the soul are experiencing heightened health issues such as insomnia, anxiety, panic, heart issues, digestive issues, moodiness and more.

For those feeling frustrated, anxious, or having sleep difficulties etc … There are a couple of things that could be happening.

Here are some tips to help you sort out.

Ask yourself what is it that you are still resistant to change? If you are resisting what your soul is beckoning from you why? Let go and trust your soul has got your back.
Your physical body may be purging, recalibrating energetically, downloading, or if you are a sensitive or empath, you just might be plain ol feeling the effects of all the cosmic shifts from mercury retrograde to the full moon lunar eclipse on September 27, 2015 to the solar flares etc

We are being called to align with soul. For those who have been following me, have been hearing me say “Trust, your soul has got your back” for quite some time now. And our soul and Spirit have been bombarding us with signs to help us along the way.

Have been experiencing such phenomena?

Here is my experience just the past few weeks and I am amazed at Spirit every time. We are always receiving messages from heaven. It’s just whether or not we choose to see the signs from our soul, our loved ones, guides, and angels.

Repeating Signs?

For me personally, I have been hit with lots of “signs” from Spirit and soul.

Every day it seems like something whether through repeating numbers or other signs such as:

Walking to the car, home, in nature, or the like and a feather is somehow beneath my feet. This happening once? Ok, but happening sometimes as much as ten times in one day? That is something one can not ignore. I must preface to say that if you are going and deliberately seeking to find signs, you may not get them. In every one of my experiences, the signs have fallen upon me without seeking like a detective. They just happened.
Certain wildlife interactions as if they have something to say. These are not the normal run ins, but ones that either suddenly repeat occurrences, are profound in how these interactions occurred, and usually occur in themes such as you are upset at something, or worried about something, having relationship difficulties, unsure of where you are going in life etc.
Signs through the elements – Spirit can alter the elements such as water in the clouds or fire to reveal what they want you to know. I have been receiving signs for years, but the last 30 days have been extraordinary.
Signs such as hearts or pennies. Again, if like me and they are happening numerous times in one day, then you need to stop and really pay attention and listen.

Signs? Everywhere there are signs?

Here are some signs I have been guided to share with you that I have personally experienced over the last 30 days.

On this day, I was walking to my car and just happened to look up at the clouds to see several signs. These cloud pictures were taken on the same day at the same location.

It was like a spirit mural of messages.

“The Angel”
Copyright 2015 Laura Healing With Spirit. All Rights Reserved

The swooping heart downward was the first that caught my eye yet the last in the messages.

Then when I glance over I saw the Angel with a cardinal beneath her holding a ball of white light. Can you see the image in the picture to the right?

The feelings of peace instantly filled me up as I was having a challenging week. These are the words not spoken but clearly understood, and grateful.

A smile instantly over came me and my worries instantly dissipated that day.

However, it was not until I decided to clean out my photos a few days later that some very striking images appeared that I did not see before.

There are two that I am posting here.
The first photograph is to the left … The Spirit Messenger Bird. Every time I look at this photo, I just want to go WOW.

I am in complete awe at the size of this image and the clarity of the details. The photo can not give you the sense of scale, size, or emotion as it was quite large in the sky.

I’m almost speechless. When I saw this bird in the clouds, it did bring me a tear of joy.

Things are changing my friends.

Keep the faith.

Stay positive.

Never lose hope.

The second image I took several weeks ago. Do you see the image? This particular image was not revealed to me until few weeks after it was taken.

I was sitting at around this fire pit while on Cape Cod and felt a spiritual presence around with a very transformative message for someone who was with me that evening. I was also guided to snap a few pics.

The message I channeled that was helpful and healing to that person and something this person needed to hear to heal karmic ties with multiple past lives.

I am also grateful for when Spirit materializes or gives us signs such as this to confirm those messages and prove the continuity of life.

This message was both for me and the other party. The image was to validate the experience we both shared in healing the past and knowing we are divinely protected at all times.

This month’s energies have been quite challenging to say the least, but I am still smiling. I’m still grateful. I’m still filled with peace in my heart. When we come from a place of gratitude instead of fear, the challenges we are faced are met with clearer and swifter solutions.

We are shedding off the old to reveal the new.

We are in this together. Together we can choose to enjoy this ride called life. It is important to try to embrace these energies with welcome arms even in times of adversity. Let go resistance, and trust your soul has got your back.

We are all going through great transformations.

It is time to shed the old to allow the new. We are emerging into the beautiful butterflies from the dark cocoons. Embrace the change

What signs from heaven have you been getting? I’d love to hear.

With love and light,

10 Tips To Get You Through The March 20th Equinox, Super New Moon, and Solar Eclipse

Tomorrow represents a big cosmic event and the shift we been waiting for.

Solar eclipse + Super New Moon + Spring Equinox = One Powerful Day

So as we continue through the day, remember “Every vibration you send out is mirrored back to you by the Universe”

“Every vibration you send out is mirrored back to you by the Universe.” – Laura Healing With Spirit. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/443112050812661725/

Have you been feeling all the effects astrological weather and cosmic storms? How about what many of us are labeling the “ascension flu”? What about any energetic pulls? Do things seem to be spiraling out of control or do they seem to be balancing themselves out? Are your fears, insecurities, anxieties or the like heightened and not sure why? How is your sleep?

Many of us sensitive folk have been experiencing everything from headaches, sore throats, buzzing in the ears, body aches especially in the back area, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue etc. This is not to mention the increase in anxiety, insecurities, fears, old traumas, old PTSD symptoms that you may thought have gone away. If you can relate to any of these, you are not alone. Like what I wrote in my March post, much of the energies lately are about “Lessons During The Bipolar Ping Pong Match of Emotions to Paradoxical Extremes.

It may feel like a little of Pandora’s Box has been opened… the feeling of everything caving in around you or everything finally blossoming … the yin and yang … the feeling of everything ending or everything beginning … feeling of endless possibilities or endless perils … rebirth, renewal and regeneration or death, endings and regeneration … energy surges or energy purges.

So be extra mindful of the energetic ripples you are sending out to the Universe and the ripples that are being reflected back at you. Whether good or bad, the chaotic energies right now could be exaggerating some things in your life to bring attention to unfinished business.

It is important to remember as we journey to the next phase of our life, remember what shifts you are wanting to create. This is a journey is to be taken inward right now. All the answers you seek lie within.

Things to keep in mind while you experience these shifts

Drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated and flushed.
Be mindful of your energy … actions and reactions
Get plenty of sleep. Sleep does a body good.
Stay balanced and grounded. This means you may need to step up your spiritual protections and practices such as prayer and meditation.
Journal your experiences. I am a big fan of journaling your experiences as it helps you to see what you may not have before.
Watch the ego as the ego will want to pull you back into the place you want to leave behind you and will prey upon your fears and anxieties.
Practice the art of forgiveness and start with the self. It is hard to forgive others if we first do not forgive ourselves.
Allow yourself to grieve over anything that is still unresolved. It is time to give yourself permission and stop resisting.
Learn to laugh and dance more. This raises the vibration and creates more positive changes not to mention the physiological energetic and chemical shifts within the body.
Finally, let go and trust that the Universe has your back. This is a huge test of faith.

The journey we are now faced with has a lot to do with faith. You are asked to trust and take a step into the unknown … to walk off that cliff not knowing if you will fall or walking on the next step. … to leap off that branch not knowing what to do or trusting you have the instincts to know how to fly. However, you are also being reminded to be careful of the choices you do make. Above all, remember … it is always darkest before dawn. The light always returns.

So for today, the Universe is beckoning you to do some introspection and to go deep within the shadows of the self to find the answers you seek. This is a message I have been stating all week with daily #CardOfTheDay draws which can be found on Pinterest or on my Facebook Page . Also, be kind and gentle to yourself. This is necessary if you wish to yield the results you seek.

I think Yoga says it well …

We are being given an opportunity to change our life and fully align with the Universe as long as we let go of all of the things holding us back. Biggest challenge for many of us is about learning to let go and let God knowing we are in good hands. Hence, get out of our own way.

You have a choice here. We are all given free will. The Universe has been pounding on us to get us to see, but at the end of the day, we choose our fate. What do you choose?

To learn more about the cosmic energy shifts, here is a good basic article on “The Energetic Properties of the Celestial Alignment on March 20th”.

We are experiencing the ride of our lives. Let’s rock this world and enjoy it.

As always, I would love to hear about your experiences. Please leave your feedback as it helps me help you. Have a blessed day.
