Like so many here in New England at this time of year,  I constantly hear people saying they are sick of the snow. Although I myself am one who loves big and fluffy flakes myself, I have yet to say that I am sick of the snow.

Snow and cold, however, are two completely different things to me. I personally am ready for the much warmer weather myself, although I will miss the fluffy stuff.

I have noticed that the month of March has been bringing us the usual fast pace I have become so accustomed to. I myself cannot believe that as I am typing these words it is already half way through the month and getting ready to look towards the raining season that is April. But needless to say, I have been noticing Spring trying oh so hard to get through to us. The days are now lighter… later and slowly getting warmer. Ocasionally I wake up to a cold and slighly snowy day, but it melts quickly away the next warm day.

Although there is still patches of white on the ground and the grass is not yet green, I have noticed a spring in my step. An excitement brewing, and Ideas of creation filling my head with good visions of what has to come.

In comparison, this winter has not nearly been as brutal here in New Hampshire, like it was last winter. However, as individuals we have been dealing with a lot more emotionally.

I would like for you to take this spring time to not only clean your house and home, but clear your mind. All the debris and changes that have been happening in your life. All the friendships and relationships that have changed as well. Clear them from your mind and let them rest in peace. As you clean, don’t be afraid to clear the cobwebs from the spaces in your mind that you may have been leaving dreams to wait. Looking for a better time to brew these dreams.

I know, I know, what I am about to say, you hear all the time. There is no time like now to make your dreams happen. No time like the present… Sound familiar? I myself have probably said this several times in the blog posts that I have written here, but there have been many who use these inspiring words. I say them all the time to my clients, friends and family.

BUT… this time… this year… I am going to live this myself. I have been dreaming!! I have great and wild ideas!!  This year I am stepping forward to make them happen.

Like many of you, I have been testing my strength. Trying out some baby steps. Dipping my toes in the water to see just how cold it is. I have personally discovered that it is not as bad as one may seem. The water is warm, and I am going to dive in with wild abandon and see what happens.

I thought about all the things that I have done in my life. Many I have done without thought. Being there for people all the time. Changing my schedule to work with those around me. Being accomodating. All the while I have watched peices of my soul walk away from me. Only because I have given, said or done too much to support others. I have found that this only hurts me. Now I am going to just dive into the water because I want to. Not because soemone needs saving.

Follow me if you would like. But only because you want to. Not becauase anyone needs you to. Maybe there is a dream that you too have been putting aside for to long. STOP putting yourself aside for someone else. The only way to help others is to be yourself.

A dear friend of mine once said to me “I’ll take care of me for you, if you take care of you for me.”

For the first time ever, I realize how profound that thought was. I can only take care of me, if I am not doing so, then I am not being a good example. Life hands us great lessons. Take them in stride. Do not beat yourself up over the one’s you feel you failed on. There really is no failure. Only another way…

Spring is springing and so am I… into action.

I was chatting with a friend of mine the other night about love. I had mentioned how in so many of my sessions I meet with people who are in relationship with another, but the emotion of love cannot be detected. After so many meetings, it just seemed a little sad to me, there are so many relationships, but no love.

My insightful friend had made the comment that people are so busy today that we often don’t have time to stop and enjoy our partners. Which means we don’t take the time to stop and enjoy the emotion of love! If there is one thing we as humans cannot live without, its love.

Since Valentine’s Day is here and present with us. I find even I have set myself up to work to hard on the day of love and not really where I should be, with my partner, the one who loves me the most. And the furry beast I call a cat, who also seems to love me unconditionally. So, per usual, I am only speaking from experience in this scenario.

Life has more stress than ever. I, being one of many, am wandering around worrying about this and that. Stressing about my jobs, peoples perception of me, money, the economy and all those I care about and their stress… sound familiar? Meanwhile, all this stress is taking me away from the love. Love that I bury deep in my heart and mentally say, “I haven’t forgotten you!!” or “I will get to you!”

I have slowly been stopping myself from this anguish. And it is a process. I have to mentally stop in my tracks to breathe. I have to mentally pause for a moment to think about the next place to go and be. I have to carve time in my life to find a loving moment with my relationship. These are all things that should just be happening naturally. But the more we run on automatic pilot, the more we move from who we really are meant to be and the more we become like zombies.

So take a moment to breathe. RIGHT NOW. STOP AND BREATHE!!

Feel the love in your heart center, like a whirlwind, a breeze… a vibration. Let this vibration permeate through all of who you are. Allow a calm sense to flow over you from head to toe and just bask in the love. You will feel your whole body relax in this moment, and allow. DO NOT fight the relaxation. Feeling the essence of love can sometimes make us forget what true relaxation feels like and your body will want to fight it…. so allow.

Give yourself permission everyday to feel a moment of love. Soon a moment will become longer and longer. Once you allow this love of self to build, you will begin to create a wealth of love. This will allow you to open your heart and remember what it feels like to really be in love with your partner, your family, your friends, mother earth, divine spirit and more… As all of these energies that surround you begin to feel and receive this love, they will in turn open and share with you and all the people around them as well… and we begin to pay it forward. It can take a little time before you notice the change that is happening around you. But when you do…. it will be a blessing!!!

Share a moment of love with yourself this Valentine’s Day. Then share that love with all those around you.

My eternal gratitude to you, spirit and the eternal burning flame of love.

It is endless and there is plenty to go around… Enjoy!

Be In Love… with yourself… first… then share with the world.

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to let you all know that my website will be going through some changes in the next few weeks. Well ok… to be honest it is going through a complete rehaul. So please don’t mind the site if you visit during the month of February as these changes I promise will be worth it.

What to expect: A cleaner look and design. More updated information about my services and classes. The ability to purchase sessions and classes online as well and an up-to-date and interactive schedule so you can see where I’ll be.

I will do my best to also post more messages and inspiration here on my blog.

I appreciate your patience in this matter and I hope you enjoy the new site as it unfolds.

Love, Light and Laughter

Lauren

Like it promised 2008 was the year of new beginnings. Numerologically speaking 2008 added up to a 1. But as the year wound down to a close, many have said to me that they did not feel like they started anything new. But trust me… everyone did. In the last few days of 2008 I reflected myself on the past year and came to some powerful conclusions. Even though I didn’t physically start a lot of projects, I mentally began to work in a direction that was deeper and more personal than I expected. All of the events of 2008 led me to the discovery of personal internal growth, mentally and emotionally. I know I am not the only one.

2+0+0+9=11. The master number 11 is powerful in its own right. After some research about 11 I realized that my more introspective beginning to 2009 was right on target. 11 has a lot to do with spiritual awareness. And spiritual awareness begins on the inside.

I have found myself compelled to get deep into my own psyche this past year. Something even in my own spiritual studies of the last 8 years, I have not yet done. Although I know I have begun to trust the spiritually guided insight I receive from the divine, and I have for many years shared those insights to groups and individuals who have asked to receive. I personally have never taken the time to bring these insights, inward.

Lately I have been compelled to meditate within. To turn the gift of insight inward. What I discovered is something I have intuitively known for a long time, but not willing to face… I have a lot of work to do!!! On myself.

So I would like to invite you all to take time in the beginning of this year to look inward. There has never been a better time. Ask yourself the questions… how can I be more loving to myself and others? What do I need in my life to be complete with myself? How do I show myself love?

This is not a selfish process. Trust me. Once you begin to get answers on these questions… you may be surprised. You will become more loving to those around you. Work will become less stressful, and suddenly all days will have a sunny quality to them.

In this day an age, there is so much technology that keeps us limited and introspective. Being in Boston one day, I was amazed at how 90% of the world walked around with IPODS or some kind of device that kept them in their own space. Ear buds blocking out the sounds of the world. No one interacting with each other anymore, not even any kind of eye contact. In a way this made me very sad. It made me realize that he world as a whole is getting locked up in themselves, but yet not willing to look there.

So rather than a New Years resolution, I have chosen to make an agreement with myself. To work on the mental limitations that keep me from growing and expanding as a compassionate being. The only way for me to do so, is to bring compassion to myself.

I invite all of you to do the same. This is a powerful year, and the numbers are working in our favor. But you have to do the footwork. Your life will not grow if you sit and wait for it to come to you.

In the Law of Attraction, it is easily explained that positive creates more positive…. But let’s bring more science into this equation. Bring in Newton’s Law of Motion, that every action as an equal and opposite reaction. It is one thing to sit and think… and it is even more powerful to put those thoughts into motion. For once you do, you will find the return coming back to you.

This sometimes means becoming vulnerable, then the inward look, the steps to move forward will leave you making 2009 a power year of progress. The progress of bringing ompassion to yourself, your loved ones and the world as a whole. Helping to make a world of peace.

Live Life and Laugh!
Lauren Rainbow.

Change

Change has been the most important word and energy that has been tossed around 2008. Indeed this week, many people have spoken their agreement of change. Not only have we experienced a profound change in our country as we witnessed the first black man elected to the presidency on a campaign of change, but more people have voted for change than ever before.

коли под наем

The spiritual ramifications of this are astounding. I myself have felt a shift in the universe. Despite what our new President may or may not do for us in the next four years is not what I want to talk about.

I want to talk about this miraculous energy that is floating around the universe right now. I hear it in my sessions with clients all the time. They want to change their lives. They want to bring in something new and different.

Well my friends, there is no better time than now. Get your thoughts together about what you want to change in your life. Take some time NOW in meditation to get a new direction going for you. Do not wait on this, as there is so much energy floating around that has change on it. Grab a hold and ride the wave of change.

We need to thank Barak Obama for boosting this energy for us. Thank him for awakening in you a desire to make new and better things happen. For reminding us that change is possible and happening right now.

Don’t forget to thank yourself. For taking the time to vote for change. You already set this energy into motion when you stepped out on November 4^th and decided that you no longer wanted more of the same. Instead, as a unified nation, we spoke out very loudly to move in the direction of change. What’s more is that we stepped out in record breaking numbers to speak… the more the merrier.

So be inspired by this great moment to make change happen in your life. The energy is in the air. I personally woke up Wednesday morning with a renewed sense of direction and flow and have been in that momentum myself since. In just a few days I have a profound sense that I no longer want to deal with the same and now making steps to be sure that I change my future to be what I desire.

How do you do this? I can’t speak enough these days about meditation. Now a lot of people cringe at the thought of this suggestion. The worry is just that we don’t have enough time in our lives to pause for a moment and think for ourselves. Not of ourselves, but for ourselves. This is what meditation is all about. It is great if you can take the time to get into deep meditation everyday. But this is not necessary if you don’t have time to spend. But I am sure you can afford less than five minutes to envision a future of beautiful change.

You owe it to yourself. Be selfish. Its ok… and then you can watch all the people you care about change their lives as well now that you are being the perfect roll model. It will be contagious.

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to send my loving gratitude to all of the wonderful people who have lovingly supported me on my journey through spiritual growth. There have been many wonderful people who have experienced the messages and healing that spirit has blessed me the opportunity to bring to people. With that I also send my loving gratitude to my personal angels and divine guides.

With that, I would like to take the time to make a special announcement.

I would like to introduce the birthing of my personal business, Simply Spiritual. I use the word birthing because in many ways, this has been a baby step process. I chose the name Simply Spiritual, as I want to make it my promise to bring to all those who are open to receive the opportunity to develop and open to their spiritual journey from the simplest of ideas. I myself have experienced many difficulties along the way, with many great lessons. I have come to understand that it does not need to be this way. So I hope to make life a little simpler for those who also choose to open their hearts and minds to spirit.

For those of you who live in the Manchester NH area. I am also excited to announce that I now have a home for private sessions. I will be working out of Serenity Spa here in Manchester NH. But by appointment only, so please feel free to call me at 603.674.6580 to book your appointments.

My dream is to grow in a way that Simply Spiritual will have its own home here in Manchester. A home in which I can provide training, healing and sessions for the simple journey through spiritual development. Please help me in holding this vision of a sacred space. I am open to receive all the help I can get.

Even more exciting is that my website is also going to change. I am working to make it more interactive and to offer more services online for those of you who are not local to Manchester and still want to experience all the Simply Spiritual will have to offer. I would like to take a moment to thank my good friend Mike Fitzpatrick for being the man behind the magic of this current site and having the patience to undergo a redesign with me. Mike, your help is so appreciated. Please check out his services at www.umlautpress.com

I am also going to take more time to write here on my blog, spiritual messages for simple growth. As well as list any exciting news developments on my end. I have so many of you who have written in support of the messages on this blog, and although it has been an interesting year for me personally, I am ready to share the inspiration that spirit brings to me.

Stay tuned for class information coming up for the fall. Also, this is a great time for psychic parties and my schedule is booking up fast. Please take the time now to call me and get your party scheduled.

Blissful Blessings to you All

Lauren Rainbow

I feel compelled to write about this topic as it has been coming up a lot around me in the past month. So let’s be inspired!!!

This past July I was able to get away to the Amma retreat in Marlboro MA. And was surprised by amazing experience to begin with. Getting a hug once a year was incredible, but to be around her energy for an extended time was just a blessing beyond words.

During this retreat, there was as lot of opportunity to hear Amma speak about many different topics from selfless service to how to deal with someone suffering from depression and the struggles we are having with the world today.

One topic that really hit home for me was a talk that was prompted by a question a devotee had asked Amma about how she deals with all the suffering in the world and what advice she would offer to us on this matter.

As a Mother to all, Amma says she has meditated on this topic a lot. And it was important to understand that god did not create all this suffering that we see here. We ourselves created this suffering from past lives. Amma went on to explain that we have to work through our karma from all of our lifetimes, hence why some people have a journey with more struggles than others.

Amma mentioned that we can help these individuals, it is good karma on our part to be in selfless service to those who are suffering. Offering them compassion in a life where they see little. But at the same time we cannot absolve them of their Karma.

I loved how Amma mentioned the checkbook. We come into this life time with a balance of good or bad karma that needs to be worked through. And what we do in this lifetime affects that checkbook and positive and negative ways.

The reason for me sharing this information is that many of my clients and friends have been asking about Karma recently and I felt that must mean this information needs to be shared.

Think carefully about what you do to others and about how much selfless service you do out there. One client recently asked me about how she can be of more help to others without affecting their karmic healing.

My personal answer: when someone you know is living a life of suffering in your eyes, you cannot take away, or take on someone else’s suffering. It does not end or clear their Karma. It will only prolong the inevitable and may even compound the effects of that individual’s karmic healing.

Rather, you can offer them compassion. When an alcoholic asks for money to pay the bills, worst thing you can do is give them money. The first thing they are going to do is run to the store and by alcohol. In this case, offer them some alternatives to cash. Or motivate them by helping them balance their bills.

Much better to lead a horse to water. The hard part is to not take it personal if they don’t drink. You did the best you could have by just opening the RIGHT door for them.

Amma offered that prayer is the best. Keep those who are suffering in your positive intentions. Allowing them to work through their karmic healing.

Don’t forget to work on your good Karma. Focus on doing some good deeds in your life. Get that checkbook in the black!!! That way when you come back in your next life you will already have a positive boost going for you!!! Plus, when you are leading by example, you would be amazed at how many people around you will begin to do the same.

In Love and Bliss

Space is limited. Pre-Reigstration Required 

I have to apologize for the months delay in getting some new information out to you all. I have had several instances in which so many of you have asked for new writings. So lets get 2008 started on the right foot. You may recall that last year was a 9 year. Signifying a year of endings for all of us. Of course, on an individual level, what the endings were about will vary significantly. For me personally, it was a challenging year for reasons deeper than I will go into hear. However, I have had a very humbling experience when it comes to what I share with others about my personal life. I learned who was really honest and true to me, and above all, I had to end several relations with friends, whom I loved and trusted dearly.Although I no longer communicate with several of these individuals in my life, I know I will always love them for the journeys we shared… they were important for all of us to grow as individuals.

Yet, new and loving people have made their way into my life and new journeys begin to grow. Still, there are the troopers from the past who have also remained true and willing to work together still… not all that was is lost.Due to these changes I spent a good chuck of 2007 pulled within myself. The boisterous and outgoing, cheery me had to take a back seat, while I spent time in blame and punishment towards myself for the events that shifted these connections in my life. My self inflicted punishment was by disconnecting a great deal from the guidance above me. Discarding the love of my guides and masters as they tried to reach out to me.

Towards the end of the year, I began to see, no matter how much I tried to disconnect myself, spirit was still there, opening doors for me to walk through. And yes, walked through them I did!!! I didn’t take me long to understand spirit will always be there for me. Pushing me forward, and opening those doors of opportunity. So I decided I must get back to some new routine of connecting.

It was hard at first, believing still, I was not worthy of connecting, of being loved by spirit. Instead I focused on my mistakes throwing away years of spiritual knowledge to punish myself. I buried my life in food. Through that, I abused my body. I didn’t feel beautiful anymore.

As 2008, a time of new beginnings, closed upon us, I could feel a shift in my consciousness. I began to seek out the love of my guides and masters again. Wanting to heal what I have done to myself. Looking for self forgiveness. I know I am not alone on this journey. I know many of you were also feeling the same. Disconnected and alone. Now seeking again to open and remember what it is like to be loved again.2008 is just what seeking spirit is all about. It has been a very long time since we have been through such a transition. Where we get to remove all that does not validate who we are. That can be everything from loved ones we care about to ideals and thoughts which may have kept us hostage in our own fear and self loathing. We needed to remove all that was not pushing us forward. So that now we can jump into the energy moving… no propelling… us forward to a new understanding of love unlike we have never felt before.

It is ok to take the time now at the beginning of this year to slowly allow yourself to come out of the cocoon you have created around you. Hibernation time is almost over! By March of this year, you will be motivated in new and different way. Takeing advantage of the ideas and inspiration that will soon flood you with creative thoughts as you have never felt before. Be willing to see that not all things are beyond your abilities. For now the world is indeed at hand. We are four years away from the amazing transformation that is 2012. A transformation into light movement that is beyond your wildest dreams, but beautiful and free in its own right.

In the next four years you will take the creative light energies that are moving and put together the REAL ideal that you have always wanted. But we could not have done it without the closing of 2007. Your positive view that you are rebuilding towards yourself at this time is going to be the foundation of energy that will keep you moving towards your new goal. Don’t get stuck in the mud of your mind. Instead expand your thoughts to allow as much light as possible within. Cast aside the shadows of your past, to see that light that you are truly meant to be.

Ready to begin anew?? Don’t take to long as time is of the essence and moving faster…. hop on the wave or get pulled to the undertow…. you decide.
