Spiritual Guide | Inspirational Speaker | Lorraine Cohen

In my 25+ years I have coached and counseling thousands of people all over world, fear continues to be the #1 roadblock to people’s ability to succeed and thrive.

When fear  takes dominion over your thoughts and emotions, life feels scary, heavy and hard. You become separated from your True Self and God’s love and Grace.

People continually ask me how to get rid of their fear which is NOT the way to live in this new energy and move into higher states of consciousness. Resisting fear or any uncomfortable feeling and thought will keep those feelings and thoughts alive and strong in your life. What you resist, persists. You cannot “think” yourself out of feeling fear to shift into real sustained courage.  Until you begin to work with fear differently, fear will control your life.

One of the first steps is to be open to see fear as a guide rather than an enemy.

Here are 9 ways to receive gifts from fear:

1. We scare ourselves all the time. When no apparent danger is evident, our minds conjure up stories that we believe to be true. What ifs, worse case scenarios, anticipated outcomes that rarely ever happen unless we are intent in creating them! Ask yourself, “In this moment, what is the truth?”

2. When feeling fear, our thoughts are focused on the future. When feeling pain, we are recreating the past. We are not living in the present which is the only place that is NOW. Knowing “where” you are living through your attention invites you to come back into the present moment and choose where to place your attention and intention.

3. Emotions such as anger cover up fear. Why? We feel more powerfull in our anger than we do in our fear. Other emotions include depression, hurt, grief, and blame. Having the willingness and courage to go beneath the surface of anger allows you to experience deeper healing and transformation.

4. We sabotage ourselves when we feel frightened. Procrastination, rationalizations, avoidance, tolerating things, making excuses, being controlling, becoming aggressive or submissive… are some examples of how fear misdirects us from our dreams and desires.

When fears emerge through self-sabotage, that can be a signal that your inner child is desperate for some attention and comfort. Take some to go within and be a loving presence to that part of you in need.

5. Fear can be a motivator or a barrier. Fear can ignite action or become a roadblock when facing change.  Imagine instead of withdrawing in fear, you took a deep breath and decided to GO FOR IT! And if the fears are strong, that is a sign that you are on the verge of an important shift!

The strength of the fear and resistance is a vibrational match for the wonderful gift that is waiting for you on the other side of that roadblock. That’s the Law of Polarity. You came into this life with EVERYTHING you need to succeed and thrive.

6. Fears are transformed by love and faith. We can learn to rewrite the tapes we play in our minds so that the messages we tell ourselves feed us rather than deplete us. Love and fear cannot coexist in the same space.

Rather than resisting your fears, imagine loving them instead. Love your fears for the ways they serve you to grow through experience and self-reflection and bring you “home” to who you really are.

7. Fear has a positive value. If we were completely fearless and lacked caution, we might place ourselves in harm’s way, make rash decisions that have dire consequences, or make decisions we deeply regret.

Instead of looking at how you can get “rid” of your fears or condemn them, consider all the ways your fears help you.

8. Fear is a sign that we are separated from our spiritual connection. Unless there is evidence of immediate danger or circumstances that validate a fear response, our fears are activated by our subconscious beliefs and fueled by the mind.

Realizing this separation is an invitation to reconnect with the God of your understand and to deepen that relationship.

9. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is about following your heart in spite of what your mind and feelings are telling you; being willing to take those leaps of faith to follow your Divine urges. Faith is feeling trust before the evidence shows up and having the courage to do whatever it takes “in fear”.

Your soul would never ask you to do anything that would deliberately harm you or put you in the path of danger. Why would it?

Money and fear are the two most powerfull motivators or deflators today.  Living a joyfull and abundant life is within your grasp if you are willing to courageously liberate yourself from fears, doubts, and not “enoughness” to know your value, claim your Divine power and live your purpose NOW!

Would you like to know how to turn fear into an ally to live  your most vital, abundant, soul fulfilling life with the POWER of Grace to guide you?

Imagine who you might be…what you might do …if you felt more courageous and confident to take those next steps to follow the yearnings of your heart.

Imagine how your life will change when you stand more firmly in your POWER and start consciously creating the life you want without hesitation and doubt.

“You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.” ― Deepak Chopra

Change. Some people hate it; some people love it; some people intentionally create it. No matter what you think or feel about change, it is a constant in life.

What do you want most in your life? More money, a loving relationship, health, to make a difference in the world, prosper doing what you love, have more fun…?

If you work with affirmations, vision boards, visualizing meditations, gratitude journals for small portions of time each day and put the rest of your attention on negative thinking, all the positive imagining you do will be negated by the negative charges you are sending out into the Universe.

Everything is energy and vibration. If you wish for the best and imagine the worst consistently, guess what you will manifest?

I’ve been guilty of sabotaging my dreams and efforts because of fears and old beliefs about unworthiness. Not only did my mind kick into all the reasons why what I wanted was impossible or too difficult, I also created overwhelm so I wouldn’t have to do anything! Or, I was saying I wanted something half-heartedly and without being fully committed. One foot in..one foot out.

Sound familiar?

I realized I was sending mixed messages to the Universe by holding myself back and hiding out from fully showing up to Life.   I was creating drama and suffering by scaring myself out of Life.

Yes, I want this but….

No more

I chose to be done with “yes, but” and faced my resistance head on.

Guess what happened?

Doors opened.

Miracles happened.

Grace poured in with tons of love and abundance.

It’s been very cool…

Now I live more in wonder and curiosity.  I am not willing to allow my mind to keep me from the good stuff.

How about you?

When you want something do you really go for it?  Or do you use these reasons and excuses to rationalize why something is impossible before taking one step to find out whether it is true?

• It’s too hard
• I can’t afford it
• I don’t have the time/it’s not the right time
• I’m not smart enough/good enough
• It’s too scary
• It’s not possible because…
• I don’t deserve it

Yeah, but….

Yeah, but….

It is important it is to be clear on what you really, really want. Too often we get caught up in what we think we should want or someone else’s dream.

Exercise: What Do You Really Want?

Take some time for contemplation and self-reflection and write your responses to:

1. What is one thing you really, really want?  Feel into your heart’s longing and passion.

2. What makes what you want so important? What will you get from having what you really want?

3. What will that add to your life that you don’t have now? (How will that change your life?)

4. Is this the right time? Do you have room in your life to receive what you want?

5. Do you have want you need ? (Systems, circle of support, space…?)

Now stop. Breathe. Feel into having what you really want. Notice your thoughts, emotions,  and body sensations.

Does your body feel expansive or constricted?

Play with Resistance

What resistance comes up when you begin to dream about what you want?

What favorite dramas, excuses and reasons do you use to tell yourself no to having what  you want?

What is one thing you will do to stretch out of your emotional “no” box?

It might be something that scares you that you know in your heart is a step you MUST take. You might need an accountability partner, coach, or group to help you move and keep moving.

As long as you keep using the same old blah, blah, blah  story and excuses, you will not move forward.

The truth is you don’t know for sure what is possible or what you might be capable of now if you don’t take that first step and the next. Your past does not dictate what your present and future will be. Neither does your current circumstances unless you believe that things will not improve. AND you do not know what God is creating for you to bring you higher.

You are either being led by fear and suffering or faith and trust.

When I want something badly enough and feel that intuitive guidance to take action, I can still get caught up in some resistance. That a signal for me to stop, take a few deep breaths, bring myself back into the present moment, and connect with God.

Within a short time, sometimes a few seconds or minutes, I can feel the heaviness lift, my mind clears, and I feel more connected inside.  Doing the inner work has shown me how to shift from inner chaos to a calm inner center.

When you want something badly enough you have to be willing to put consistent energy into following through. You must be willing to do whatever it takes to have what you are yearning for.

You must be willing to see life though a different lens; one that shows you that perceived obstacles are stepping stones and pathways to your dreams.

You have to be willing to ask for what you want, be vulnerable, look and feel silly, make mistakes, or feel scared to create the life of your dreams. It also takes commitment, passion, and tenacity to persevere.

And you must be willing to challenge and let go of the thought patterns and beliefs generated by your EGO that keep you separated from the deeper truth of who you really are.

Life is a journey of faith, trust, and courage to boldly go where you have never dared to go before when you know in your heart you must take that next step.

If you have a quick “impossibility’ response and you allow “no” beliefs to rule your life, you will continue to miss windows of opportunities that may end up as regrets.

The real question is, “How badly do you want something and what are you willing to do or be to have it?”

Life is meant to be lived not observed.

Don’t believe everything you think!

The story you tell is the story you live….

“…Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of the Universe. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others…” ~ From A RETURN TO LOVE by Marianne Williamson

You have a purpose in being here

You matter

You are beautiful

You are smart

You are good

You are whole (not broken)

YOU ARE LOVE

You ARE ENOUGH

Your soul knows that.

The Divine knows that.

Love is the energy of this new Age of Enlightenment.

The veil of separation between your Human Self and Soul Self is lifting to reconnect you with Divine LOVE. 

You might be facing some difficult life challenges in your – relationships, health, finances, business which are opportunities to break your heart open to access that LOVE.

Imagine what it might feel like to be embody LOVE in every moment no matter what is happening…

Here are five ways to be more self-loving with yourself (and others):

1. Notice when you are being too harsh with yourself. Your natural state is love.  Pay attention to your thoughts, self-talk and how you speak about yourself to others. Listen to the words you use to express in your head and out loud.  Do your words, thoughts and actions reflect love compassion, forgiveness, patience…? Look for opportunities to soften your heart and allow the love to flow.  Do you speak or think of yourself like a loving friend or a critical parent?

2. Treat your body with love and respect. Do you mistreat and abuse your body by ignoring what you know will help you to feel vital, vibrant, and alive?  You might ignore when you need to rest, exercise, eat more healthy, take breaks, meditate…..Do you withhold love by choosing to do things that might negatively impact on your health and well-being? Do you prioritize your self-care? Look for ways to honor your body and your needs as the treasure you are!

3. Do something every day that brings you pleasure. Yup, I said every day. What makes you feel good and brings you joy that is positive and uplifting? Do you pamper yourself and do things that make you smile? When you value yourself by doing loving things consistently, your life will be much happier and everyone in your world will reap the benefits.

4. Commit to the relationships in your life that lift your heart and feed your soul. This year look for opportunities to be more engaged with the people you love. Ask for help and allow them to love in return by being there for you when you really need support. Allow the nature flow of love to be both given and received.

5. Engage in daily spiritual practices to connect you with your “Essence” and Divinity. Prayer, contemplation, inspirational reading, walks in nature, meditation….opens our heart to be in loving communion with who we really are and God/Source/Higher Power as we walk though life’s challenges and blessings.  Cultivating the relationship with The Divine invites us to look at life through the eyes of love – to embody love with ourselves and those whose lives we touch.

Demonstrations of self- love are great ways to open your heart in concert with doing the inner emotional healing and transforming beliefs on both the conscious and subconscious level.

Ready to fall in deeper love with your Self?

Join in the next Pathways to Awakening Journey Into Self- Love, beginning Tuesday, November 13.

The weekly meditations and deepening processes that have catapulted past participants into higher states of joy, abundance, peace…are all designed in the moment by God to work on conscious and subconscious levels to heal and open your heart and create reconnection with your Sacred Self. Adding EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) had made the program even more potent.

“Authenticity breeds more authenticity. Have you ever known such comfort as being yourself in the presence of someone who is also being themselves? That is a heart to heart connection that expands everything. ~ Kristine Carlson

On a recent coaching call with a client, we spoke about her desire to be more authentic and real. Our work together focuses on aligning her passions and gifts with her soul path and purpose. Discovering where she was “hiding out” and withholding was uncomfortable because she felt vulnerable and unsafe.

So she wondered, “What does being authentic really mean? 

Great question..

• Did it mean saying whatever she thought and felt to everyone at all times?
• Did it mean she was expected to be in full disclosure without any sense of privacy?
• Did it mean she had to face things she might not be ready to deal with?
• Did it mean she had to give up certain boundaries that kept her feeling safe?
• Did it mean she always had to tell the truth no matter how uncomfortable she felt?

She shuddered at the thought of having to be so open and vulnerable with people. So, we talked about what being authentic means to her and what it means to me.

Being authentic meant being true to her values, and beliefs regardless of what other people thought, having the courage to be honest and real with herself, choosing what she felt comfortable disclosing, and taking 100% responsibility for her thoughts and actions.

She summarized her definition as being true to who she is (as she understands herself) in any situation to the best of her ability. It’s new for her to be that honest with herself and others and she’s taking baby steps with people she trusts. How much or how little she discloses is her choice.

It was a great conversation from a human perspective.

What about the soul?

Can you be authentic as a human being and censor your soul’s expression?

Can you be real when you hide your true Self?

I think that is the conflict many people are facing right now. 

This journey to liberate your authentic self is one the world is experiencing today - the internal battle between the mind/ego and the heart/soul.

I have found that as I have walked through many fears and doubts and claimed my gifts, my value, and my brilliance ( I felt uncomfortable writing that) I feel free to let go of looking good and doing things perfectly as well as embracing all the ways I know I am lovable and fabulous!

The more authentic and honest I am with myself the more alive I feel. I can sense my soul smile….

You can’t lie to yourself!  Deep down you always know the truth.

This time of Awakening invites us to let go of the facades and masks that are wrapped around false identities that we created to feel safe; to gain approval, to feel loved and accepted.

The keys to liberating ALL of who you are rest in your hands.

Building a strong foundation of self-love, forgiveness, compassion…. and connecting with your soul Essence infuses confidence, courage, inner strength… to be true to who you are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Your choices and actions create your experiences.

How to take the next steps without getting in your own way?

1.  Commit to your spiritual practices. Listen, trust, and follow your inner guidance when it resonates as Truth even if it doesn’t make sense.

2. Take advantage of personal growth and spiritual healing opportunitesthat show up in response to your prayers and requests for help. Synchronicity and coincidences are ways the Divine winks at you to show you that you are loved and cared for.

3. Let go of the reasons and excuses you use to avoid feeling and facing things so you can play small, stay stuck and hide out. Be willing to s-t-r-e-t-c-h outside your comfort zone.

4. Make the decision to do whatever it takes to fulfill your deepest dream and refuse to let anything stop you, including your ego. When you are serious in your intentions, the Universe conspires to bring you what you deeply desire. You must do your part in taking acti0n and the Universe will work out the “how.”

5. Join me on Saturday, October 6, 2020 for a special healing teleseminar called Divine Alchemy: Awakening And Sustaining Your Courageous Heart. Imagine using fear, doubt, self-sabotage, and negative patterns to help you consciously create an inspired life; to reUnite with your True Self to allow more abundance, grace and joy to POUR into your life! This is a time sensitive event  so go look now so you don’t miss out!

Remember -your soul knows the way home…

You do not walk your path alone… God is with you every step..including right this moment.

PS. After writing this article I read the email I receive each morning from Neale Donald Walsch -

“On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know…that they who are all things to their neighbors cease to be anything to themselves.
 
Norman Douglas said that, and he was right. So do not  worry about “what the neighbors think.” Worry only  about whether you are being true to yourself.
 
Think, act, and speak today from the place of your highest truth. About all things. Including your relationship, your life work, your thoughts and your choices.
 
It is time that you came out of hiding on some things, don’t you agree?”
Lorraine

So often people think they have forgiven themselves and others but they really haven’t.

Without true forgiveness we can’t let go and move on. We end up dragging around unresolved hurts and disappointments in our heart, on our bodies, and in our painfull thoughts

There is no resolution because there is no peace. And because relationships are the cornerstone of our life experiences, we are continually given experiences that break our hearts open for deeper compassion and love.

Each of us at one time or another has strayed from our path, ignored our heart, betrayed another, been unloving, acted unwisely, given in to an addiction, desire, or temptation we might regret. There is a need for forgiveness when there is blame that often results in a misunderstanding or taking things personally.

You may not realize it, but any residual resentments and areas of unforgiveness that cause leakages to your energy, will profoundly undermine organized thought and energy.

And, keep in mind that in the long run, no matter how much forgiving you have done, at the core - ALWAYS - the most honest and important forgiveness work is always about forgiving YOU.

Below are three common question about forgiveness I am continually asked

1. How can I forgive myself for making choices that has created pain my life? (financial hardship, abandoned dreams, loss of self…)

It’s easy to feel good about yourself when your life is going the way you want, isn’t it? We habitually assign labels of good and bad to life experiences and give power to those experiences to be the source of our inner happiness.

Consider this:

A person who loses their job may now have the opportunity to pursue a lifelong dream. Perhaps the work they were doing was joyless and they were too frightened to leave and follow a deeper passion.

Or a person who made decisions that created a financial hardship is provided the opportunity to resolve a ton of past pain, strengthen their relationship and trust with God and align with the deeper purpose of their life that is rich with prosperity and love (as I have).

Below are two questions folks work with in my four week Journey into Forgiveness program that begins September 20

~ What if the decisions you made that created this situation, that you thought was Divinely inspired or right for you at the time, was really directed by your ego’s fear (or some other story created by the mind), Could you forgive yourself?

~ What if this situation was designed for the sole purpose of waking you up and bringing your closer to your Divine? Could you forgive yourself?

The answers to those questions can create a powerfull transformational shift!

2. How can I forgive someone who has been the source of so much pain for me and others?

Who among us has not said and done things that have brought out the most wounded parts of ourselves with another as well as against ourselves?

For centuries humanity has existed in intense darker energies of pain and fear. Now we are coming brilliantly into the Light and awakening to our true nature of Love.

Towards those who you feel wronged and violated by, take a moment to imagine what must have happened to that person as a child to have turned them into the deeply wounded person they have become. And be willing to ask that same question of yourself if you struggle with self-forgiveness?

Injustices, violations, betrayals can feel like personal attacks and the truth is, most times they are not personal while having a personal impact. As the receiver, you are experiencing the other person’s pain that is being projected onto you.

The ability to see beyond the other person’s action, even those viewed as unforgiveable, as the result of deep inner pain, open the heart to greater compassion and healing. This is a process…..

Forgiveness does not mean that what happened did not matter or have an impact on your life.

Forgiveness allows you to come to peace within yourself by accepting what happened without resistance and “coming home” to who you really are – a brilliant Light and presence that nothing can ever extinguish. What you surrender is your reaction.

There was a story I heard years ago about a woman writing an article about two brothers. One was a very successful business owner and the other brother was alcoholic who was homeless and living on the streets.

When asked what contributed to the shaping of their life, both brothers said, “My father was an alcoholic”.

Life experiences, qualities, or behaviors can define you if you identify with them. The story you tell is the story you live. Or they can be pathways to expanding your potential and your liberation.

Our lives are shaped by our experiences and how we interpret them.

It is your choice to empower another person or event to become your life story or… to use past experiences upon which to rewrite your future.

3. How do I stop blaming and judging myself so forgiveness can happen?

Cultivating self-love and compassion allows for forgiveness to occur. The first step towards forgiveness is having the willingness to forgive. Embodying forgiveness is an internal transformational process that involves the mind, the heart & soul, and most importantly, The Divine.

Instead of holding onto self - judgments and resentments ask yourself:

How is this person or situation in service to my healing and growth?

What do I have to let go of to allow more love into my heart and mind?

What qualities do I need to develop to grow and evolve?

If you are in a situation that might not change, what do you need to accept?

Expand the picture to see the situation from a higher perspective, look for the learning nuggets!

Be gentle with yourself and continue to invite God to guide through this healing journey. Be open to face and embrace those parts of yourself that are in need of tenderness.

Unforgiveness affects EVERY area of your life - health conditions, weight challenges, money flow, emotional well-being, relationships, business success…

Unforgiveness halts the healing process of bringing life experiences to peace and integration.

Unforgiveness without love will hold you captive in endless pain.

Unforgiveness separates you from your True Self and the Divine by withholding love and self-worth. That separation is the greatest wound humanity suffers.

Forgiveness opens pathways for love, abundance, and grace to pour into your life.

True forgiveness is an internal shift that moves from your head to your heart. 

Forgiveness is an embodied state of Love that is your natural soul/Divine state of existence.

Ready for the last key?

Commit to daily self-care and spiritual practices.

Meditation, inspirational reading, walks in nature, stillness, and journaling are some ways to feel connected to that Divine spark within you. Daily practices and rituals that nourish your body, mind and soul connects you to your soul purpose and the collective Oneness.

Cultivating faith, trust, and courage in the face of fear, challenges and uncertainty deepens our faith that we are indeed supported by the Universe.

Taking care of your body is an important element to your inner foundation. When we feel “fed” we can show up for the people, responsibilities and situations that we most care about with our best SELF. When we are depleted, over-extended, hungry, lonely, or angry, life becomes more burdensome.

Negative self-talk, self-sabotage, and fears increase when you are not nurturing yourself.

To check when you might be out of balance or in need of some self-care pronto, here are some common signals: taking things too personally, beating yourself up, irritability, over-reacting, resentment, anger, overwhelm, confusion, distracted, stressed, or tense.

Ask yourself, “What do I need right now? What is my body asking for? What have I been ignoring?“ Then DO IT!

Notice your thoughts and feelings without judging, censoring or trying to get rid of them so you don’t stuff them down inside. Then, make a conscious decision to suspend giving your money concerns any more energy by choosing to place your attention elsewhere.

Make a commitment to stop talking about, thinking about and worrying about money. Start with an hour, a day or a week. You might be happily surprised at how much energy and flow opens when you stand strong in love, faith, trust and courage!

God is the true SOURCE of your supply and the greatest ally in your life!

Make your relationship with God a daily priority. Have ongoing conversations with God and share your heart like you would speak to a loving, and trusted friend who wants your life to be rich and joyfull.

Make God your business partner and your life partner.

Praise God for answered prayers and trust that whatever form they take is to ultimately make your life amazing.

Cultivate an abundance attitude of appreciation.

Every minute, every hour and every day you choose what you will create and manifest, consciously or unconsciously! That is The Law of Attraction.

And most importantly!!!! Commit to doing your inner work to identify, heal, and transform what is unresolved from your past that still has a painful negative charge

Rather than asking the Divine to get rid of things you don’t like or fear, ask instead for the courage and strength to walk through the experience.

Whatever you don’t know how to do or be - God does. Ask to be taught, shown and guided… and be open to the form this learning takes to bring you closer to who you really are as a child of Light.

Get help where you need it and remember to send your prayers to the Universe. Help comes when asked for. You are not meant to travel through this life alone!

And if FEAR is controlling your life, join me for 4-week mini journey into COURAGE beginning May 29. Take advantage of the early tuition through May 22.

Do you beat yourself up because you aren’t following through with your intentions?

Do you feel overwhelmed by all the things you are trying to manage?

Is your head spinning from all the choices and invitations that flood your inbox?

Is fear stopping you from taking those steps your heart is yearning for?

Whenever I ask the question, “What’s your biggest life challenge?” I get a slew of responses that say: procrastination, self-sabotage, fears of all kinds, lack of focus, overwhelm with so many things to manage…. the pressure to show up every day to be at your best.

It can feel frustrating to keep bumping up against yourself!

That is a sure sign that your ego is running your life NOT your spirit.

Ya see, many folks think that having techniques and strategies is the key to breaking through unwanted patterns. The truth is that having a systematic way to do things has great value BUT….the cause of why you do certain things in rooted in your subconscious beliefs and the resulting emotions.

I am still working though some self-sabotage and I am fascinated by the automatic ways I create resistance to having what I want with ALL I know. That’s why I’m so committed to doing and teaching the inner work because having techniques is only ONE PART of the formula.

It’s a habit to identify with your ego and empower it to drive your life. We’ve been doing that for generations which is why this time of “waking up” is even more challenging because our egos are freaking out and creating even more resistance and fear!

Join me for ” Overcoming Overwhelm, Procrastination & Fear”.   Tuesday, June 14 at 1pm EST/ 10am PST/6pm UK

In this 90 minute program you’ll learn:

1. Ways you can be sabotaging your efforts that will surprise you and what to do to stop.

2. Five practical strategies that will help you dramatically reduce overwhelm, shifting from chaos to calm and feeling good about YOU.

3. The difference between positive and negative procrastination and how to break through “stuckness.”

4. Ways to make fear your friend rather than enemy.

5. And so much more that I know will come though Divine guidance.

PLUS!! I will open the call to work with at least one person for a live demonstration.

Imagine what your life would be like if you really ALLOWED the good that is wanting to pour into your life?

And whatever you are blocking is just a teeny piece of what Source is ready to bestow upon you.  To receive more good in your life, you gotta get out of the way to let it in!

You might be thinking this is just another teleseminar filled with how-to strategies that you may already know about that haven’t helped you a whole lot.

Nope, it’s so much more than that.

Breaking out of these patterns is an inside job that’s my area of specialty.

I’ve been coaching and counseling thousands of people just like you for over 25 years to bust out of these patterns using practical strategies, shadow and inner child transformation processes, and spiritual practices. I’ve joyfully witnessed how tons of my clients have freed themselves to create happier, prosperous, and more spiritually nourishing lives

That’s why on Tuesday’s, “Overcoming Overwhelm, Procrastination, & Fear” call, I’ll demonstrate a step by step inner process, most people skip over, to access two critical keys that will help to calm the inner conflict so that you can begin to liberate yourself from the patterns of overwhelm, procrastination and fear you keep recreating.

Because unless you work from the inside out, the real transformational shifts will not occur. You’ll only band-aid the situation that will pop again and again.

Look at your business, money  flow,  happiness, inner peace, self-esteem, stress levels, health, relationships….

Receive some practical strategies to make your  life a whole lot more manageable PLUS a critical step most people miss that will make a profound difference in quelling fears and inspiring movement for a teeny investment of only $27 bucks.

Or just ignore this invitation and keep doing what you’ve been doing…..it’s your life….

Sign up directly here

You’ll get the details and the link to the mp3 recording even if you can’t make it live. If you do come on the call with me, you might be the person I do a demonstration with using the inner process I am excited to share with you.

And if you have ever been on calls with me before, you know that investing $27  in this teleseminar is a teeny amount for what you will get in return. It’s a small price to pay in your future!

Love and blessings,

Lorraine
