Thoughts for July 2010

The Goddess Lakshmi comes to us this month to help us with the flow of prosperity in our lives. She encourages us to focus on abundance rather than worrying about what we are lacking. She reassures each of us that we have nothing to fear. Support and much abundance surrounds all of us and we can open up and ask, focus, release attachment and receive. Our focus involves visualizing and affirming clearly what it is we want in our lives.

Lakshmi is a Hindu Goddess and she is known as the goddess of wealth, purity, and generosity. She is also the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. Two elephants spraying water are often shown standing next to the goddess in pictures. The meaning is that with effort, in accordance with one's path along with wisdom and purity, leads to both material and spiritual prosperity. Lakshmi is depicted as a beautiful woman of golden complexion, with four hands, sitting or standing on a full-bloomed lotus and holding a lotus bud, which stands for beauty, purity and fertility. The word 'Lakshmi' is derived from the Sanskrit word "Laksya", meaning 'aim' or 'goal', and the wealth and prosperity she brings is both material and spiritual.

She can help us to overcome worries and fears about money and abundance in all forms in our lives. To focus on abundance rather than the lack of abundance is part of her message. You can communicate with her in any way and she will respond to your request for her help. She has a pure heart and soul of service to humanity and also helps us with our life purpose - what we came here to this earth to offer.

As I connect with her, I feel pure joy shining from her whole being in a gentle way. I cannot help but feel lighter as these feelings penetrate me. A feeling of well-being and calmness washes over me and I feel very peaceful and centered. My mind feels calm and clear and I feel I can sense my "flow" - the next thing I need to do or not do - are easily discerned within me - choices feel easy and I know what order to make my choices. We all have days like this when all goes well and we feel happy and in sync with the world and ourselves. She gives me the message that it is from this place that we create or manifest abundance and balance in our lives and for those around us. Again, we have free will to open to these higher beings such as Lakshmi to help us move into our higher expressions. All we need to do is ask!

This month reiki circles are scheduled for July 10th, and Sunday, August 1st at noon, and a Matrix Energetics Intro night on Saturday July 17th. A manifesting circle starts Friday, July 30th. I am also putting together some evenings for teens to learn more about their own connection to their inner selves, healing with Reiki, learning oracle cards, crystals and more. A Reiki I class will be held in early August and a Reiki Master Certification in September. And the movie/meditation nights are Friday July 3rd, and Sunday July 31st at 7:00 pm. An Archangel course is filling now. Please call for more info and dates.

Please let me know if you are interested in any of the other classes not listed here as I follow the flow of what people are inspired to learn. People are also expressing interest in a meditation circle to be held Tuesday evenings. Please check the Courses and Events page and join in if you feel any of these are in your flow. And also feel free to give me a call or send an e-mail if you have any questions. I also offer individual healings and readings most days from 1 - 9 p.m. and do readings at Whitby's Bookstore in White Rock Mondays 11 - 6 if you need some extra help to get clear and more balanced in your life!

... wishing you love, joy, abundance, peace, health and all you are wishing for, Lorie
