What we resist persists. What we give our attention to grows. These two laws of nature can help us craft our life when we understand them by exploring them more deeply. When we resist what is happening in our world we feed it energetically. When we ruminate on our problems without solution, they grow in strength.

In this podcast from 2021, Laurel and Laurel explore how to work with resistance so that you can shift from resisting what isn't working and what you don't like in your life, to a more transformation-inducing posture in order to craft the life and outcomes you want to be living.

You have the power within you to create the quality of life you desire. When we feel overwhelmed, disappointed, conflicted, confused, or distressed by life or specific circumstances, there is always an inner solution to improve our experience and lead us to the kind of circumstances we desire. Laurel shares the transformative practices of what she calls the Inner Power Wheel. This wheel of practices helps you break self-limiting habits and create the behaviors and inner connection for living in the world today and dealing with life. With these practices you source from your power within and re-align your actions to create what it is your heart desires.

Links/Books mentioned Courageous Woman and Live Your Inner Power, the Journal are available on Amazon and other select digital book sales outlets.

It's never too late to plan for a beautiful life. I speak from experience when I share that my beautiful life came in waves, a career I loved began at 40, a wonderful marriage that has fulfilled my dreams began at 51, and the home and garden that daily nourishes my soul was created in my 60s! 

Whatever your dreams are, the joy is in the unfolding, the experiencing, the wondering and the walking towards and sometimes even in the waiting when you get busy living fully in the now with a steady and awakened presence. This week we re-issue the episode "Planning for Your Beautiful Life". We talk about about a different way of thinking about "planning". 

What your heart longs for is worth planning for.

Most days we move about the world taking for granted the magic of how our body operates to keep us alive, in balance, and aware. When you take the time to tune in to your physical body with appreciation for the many ways it supports and allows you to enjoy and partake in life, you build a platform of gratitude that creates a baseline of resonance for the abundance of what you have in any moment. Enjoy this guided meditation. We send it out to you in support of you developing a gratitude practice that offers you the opportunity to raise your vibration to one that aligns with abundance, appreciation and love.

We're circling back to where we started - why do we do the beautiful work? Many of us decide to begin or continue because of a crisis in our lives or because we are desperate for change. We might find ourselves in emotional turmoil or pain, we may have been in emotional stress for so long that we now find ourselves physically ill. We often begin he beautiful work when life is not beautiful.

One day, with good fortune and a courageous heart, we realize that this inner work has made such an impact that life is good. When we stay with the beautiful work, life really does become beautiful.

What would your beautiful life look like? What do you want? We're inviting you to create from the inside out, get to looking at how you are organizing, choosing and creating based on your inner state, and realize that you can change, you life will change, when you dedicate yourself to your own beautiful work.

Enjoy this repeat of our first episode and remember why you may be called to the beautiful work.

How often do you feel stuck in your life? When we are immobilized in our ability to move forward in the ways we desire, there underlies a tug-of-war within you of competing desires and/or beliefs. This meditation guides you inward to uncover what the source of the inner conflict might be that keeps you in place and uncomfortable. With clarity you may be able to communicate and move on.
