A Superlunary being lives in the home of god through all things and through all feelings.
All emotions are energy and all energy is the movement of consciousness experiencing itself; therefore all experiences of feelings are the experiences of consciousness experiencing consciousness.
Are you willing to live beyond space, beyond the moon and beyond the mind?
Total liberation is on the other side of hate, rage, joy, love and injustices.

What you vibrate is what you create.
What are you creating?
Which you is creating?
What if there was no one to whom anything happened to rather, a pure field of energy looking out at all that arises, including joy, pain, awe and injustice as an experiencer experiencing an experience through you.
Who is looking, Becomes.
The more which you looks, the more that, becomes.
We all experience joy and injustice. It is not to avoid the injustices, rather it is to not have a problem with the fact that we sometimes experience injustice .

In today's show Laura speaks about her realization that living in a state of surrender is a way to bring in and sustain the 5D paradigm. The opposite of Surrender is Non Surrender. Living in a state of non surrender leaves us open to be manipulated by the occurrences of the activities of this planet, blocks us from being the light that we are all seeking and keeps the 3D paradigm alive.

The speed of technology and connectivity has really changed our lives – our whole culture is speed up. We’ve become used to instant replies and constant availability. This unnatural pace keeps us on edge, reactionary and even anxious if we can’t get what we want on our doorstep the next day or don’t get an instant text reply. It’s ALL fear and adrenaline based and it’s easy to get addicted to the adrenaline drama.
But what if we committed to moving at our own natural pace despite the messages we received as a child or from the culture at large? Based on the work of Katie Hendricks/Hendricks Institute, Essence Pace is a way of reconnecting with our natural rhythm and pace of movement helping us be more present, connected and creative within ourselves and in our relationships with others.

Meditation begins at 13 minutes
In today's podcast Laura and Kristin discuss the WHO is it that is Meditating?
True Meditation is in the Absence of a person.
The finite mind contained in the body has no place in a meditation.
The infinite mind of that which is creating is much greater than any person contained within a body locked into space and time.
Today you will have an opportunity to become the vibration of that which creates worlds, and become Interconnected to all of the other illuminated beings that are creating with you in the field of consciousness, as pure awareness itself- within the absence of a self, in no time, no place in particular, surrendered into the divine filed of love.

One can manifest for themselves or for the world.
When you take the time to intend for good to come into your body, you create goodness for the world too.
Every thought and every word you utter has a frequency. In today's podcast, Laura discusses 8 steps that she uses to create a world both inside her body and for everyone else.
Who is creating? We need to become clear that the one creating is the one in a very high vibrational state.
What vibration is the WHO creating in? Surrendering over the personal self and surrendering to the imagination of Source is a great place to start!
What is the vibration of your creation? Taking the time to check in with the Word of your Desire and
**Become that vibration.- Attuning to the power of your vibration aligns you to god consciousness where all potentials are realized.
Expand that vibration-make it bigger. Make is so big your little body can't contain it. Gift it to Consciousness for everyone everywhere to access, tap into and co create with you The vibration you have become is powerful and truthful. It will alter the world
Be in awe and gratitude.** The Mind of God is so much more imaginative that our limited minds could ever be.
Repeat steps above.

We spend so much of our lives focused on the activity of becoming a someone performing on the surface level of reality. What if instead we sunk deep into the truth of our I am ness, still and centered in our heart of hearts.
We can choose to Unbecome the someone who needs to perform acts for another someone and instead, become no one in particular, no longer contributing to the storms of our reality.
What may happen if we no longer contribute collectively to the storms of our reality?

As humans we have periods of feeling really good as we move towards greater success and progress with our life goals . . . then BAM! . . . we run smack into habitual and unconscious obstacles and mess it all up! In the book The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, he describes this as an "upper limit" problem. We have a universal human tendency to sabotage ourselves when we have exceeded the "upper limit" of what we feel we are capable of doing and feeling. Often these are coping adaptations learned in childhood that carry into unconscious behaviors as adults. In this podcast Kristin will discuss the unconscious barriers we encounter and the signs and behaviors that let us know we are upper limiting ourselves as outlined in the book. A highly recommended read!

Each is associated with a life lesson, level of consciousness, and with major neural networks and hormonal systems in the body.

Today Laura leads a conversation on using grief, pain and loss as an opportunity to expand and embrace the gift – yes, gift – that it has to offer. Grief is energy, not necessarily something that has to cause suffering, although it certainly does in certain instances. It just is – it’s not personal – it wants to be recognized, felt and released. Real suffering comes from resisting it, avoiding it and not allowing ourselves to feel it.
Laura will guide us through a wonderful meditation on feeling, expanding and letting grief go from our body, and to make friends with it and accept the gift or lesson it has for you. So turn off your phone, find a quiet and comfortable space to sit, listen and fully embrace the experience.
You will want to come back to this episode again and again to practice this meditation practice!

We are not just a human being. We just so happen to be watching one.
The truth is we are supernatural creators, illuminated in light and power.
In today's show, Laura speaks about how to take our narrow focus off of just one person's life and instead, use our super expanded ability to focus on the invisible, infinite field onto which that one person's life is projected onto- The Field of all that is- the matrix, pure consciousness.

Your body is a miracle.
We can either look at the world as a human , living in the lifespan of a body in a world of problems, which will make us sick , fat, tired, infertile and unhappy or as an open hearted creator free of the preferences of the personality.
Life is continually unfolding. We all experience periods of ease and stress as stress is a normal and natural part of life that requires our bodies to adapt.
In this episode , you will see how stress effects our digestion, fertility, blood flow, sexuality, mobility, thoughts, feelings and happiness.
We can interrupt the stress cycle through bringing our awareness to who is perceiving.
We can relax stress out of us through movement, dance. mediation, illumination and releasing the negative energy out of the body.
Bring the stressors close to your heart and illuminate them with Love.

Our body listens to and responds to every single thought we ever have and creates an internal environment that matches it--one of either stress or relaxation, depending upon the story we are telling ourselves.
Our very thoughts can keep us stuck in a mind-body loop that plays back over and over again, keeping us reliving the same stressors and stories day in and day out.
It's the story of a "you" aka- the small self. But also inside ourselves, resides a "Big Self" that is impervious to the thought loop keeping us stuck. It's that aspect of ourselves, or God consciousness, that comforts, heals and guides us to something much larger and greater than our small self could ever imagine. We only need to surrender to it.
Kristin and Laura discuss how to interrupt the program of negative mind body- feedback and allow for something greater to happen in our lives.
