The Essential Sacred Space

This is taught extensively in my 6 Week Clarity Mentorship. Drawing boundaries to the world and creating a quiet sanctuary is a must when it comes to practicing your spiritual gifts. You need to have a specific space that is peaceful and promotes communication between you and your Creator. A place of solace, away from the noise and trash frequencies. I teach the modern mystics who go through my mentorship how to create a vortex of energy that heals and provides a clear, open, safe space to receive Divine Guidance.

The next Level 1 Mentorship begins November 4th. Are you ready to walk deeper into mysticism?

A Dedication To Happiness

Do you know how to summon the feeling of happiness...out of thin air? Can you close your eyes, breathe, smile and just feeeel into it? This is a practice of the Modern Mystic. You can exercise the ability to summon happiness throughout the day by putting on the right song, spending time in nature, reading uplifting/funny content, or by simply letting yourself do anything that makes you happy. It is an emotion that can serve as a compass in your life; guiding you into synchronicity and setting you on the best life path. Sure there are some things we must do that don't necessarily make us deeply happy like certain mundane tasks at work, or having a tough conversation with someone. However, when you are dedicated to happiness, you can summon a general feeling of happiness throughout the day. Then, those tasks won't throw off your groove so easily. The more dedicated you are to feeling good, the more graceful your day will flow... as if by magic. You can follow the feelings of happiness throughout your day, week, month, and before you know it, POOF! A happy life is destined to be yours. 

The Spiritual Side of Healthy Eating

Some of you already know this, but my education is actually in nutrition. I did nutritional counseling for over a decade and owned a health clinic for a number of years until I got really burned out on talking about food. Several years later, I'm finally ready to address food issues with my clients again. However, my take on diet and nutrition is much different now through the perspective of living a mystical life. Being at war with your dinner plate has no room within a peaceful lifestyle. As a nutritionist, my advice used to be based on body types, testing, medical issues, and mostly for the purpose losing weight. Today I am more interested in how you want to feel about your food.

Deprivation is a horrible feeling. But so is gluttony. Being at war with sugar, caffeine, gluten, fat, meat, or any other food group has never led anyone to make better long term choices. But it has created unnecessary guilt and addictive behavior. If I were to have a conversation around diet with you, the first thing I would ask you is what is your relationship to food in general? Is it a love/hate relationship? Is it confusing? Do you feel that eating is kindness towards your body or a bother? Does food attack your body making you fat or is it nourishing? Is food medicine or your enemy? As I have had the opportunity to walk around the entire subject of diet and nutrition, from the medical perspective, to a salesmans perspective, and into a spiritual perspective, I am convinced that your relationship to food must heal before you can make any long term healthy changes. This might include forgiving yourself for any self abuse that has happened regarding food including shaming yourself, starving, or binge eating your feelings. 

The life of a mystic requires that you heal your relationship to all things. We talk about healing your thoughts. This includes your current perspectives on food. I address this subject at length in my 6 Week Mentorship and it tends to promote beautiful personal breakthroughs resulting in a healthy body weight and radiance. Now that's magic! Your body is an amazing mammal, deserving of all of the love and care you would give any animal you tended to. By healing the way you feel about food, you will be able give your precious body what it needs without issue. 

Restless

Stepping out of the "norm" and doing things that your friends and family wouldn't understand takes a lot of bravery. The call into mysticism is both undeniable and confusing. You feel inside of your heart that you have a greater purpose than what life has offered you thus far. But the rest of the world tells you it is crazy to follow your intuition rather than tradition. The call into mysticism is often times a call for healing. Perhaps you have been through something that has created a pain that can only be healed by the one who Created you. Therapists, religions, diets, books, seminars- these things seem to help everyone but you. That is because your path is leading you away from the crowd for a "one on one" kind of restoration.

Mystics will feel restless and nothing of the world will satisfy them until they answer the calling.

She reverently bows to her own personal journey knowing that the peace she has sought in groups awaits her in solace and silence. Everything will look different as she begins to see the world through eyes of Love. Everything will sound different as she begins to hear the world through ears of Love. And as her precious heart heals, she begins to Love the world in a very deep and mystical way. 

This is the path of the mystic; the fading back into the Love you came from. Eventually it doesn't matter what others think because it becomes evident you are simply yet importantly here to serve. You begin to understand that everyone will have their opportunity to leave the herd- you were just among the first to go.

You Are Intuitive

Have you ever been driving down the freeway and had a feeling to get off on an exit you normally wouldn't take? But then because it didn't make sense, you stayed on the freeway and ended up in really bad traffic? Situations like these happen all of the time. We talk ourselves out of small messages throughout the day and are left shaking our heads saying, "I knew it." 

We tend to think that intuitive messages only come for life's big issues. However, when you are fine tuned, you will hear guidance throughout the day even regarding the seemingly small things. You see, your angels really want you to feel peaceful. They know that being in traffic, or having to wait in line, or being at the wrong place at the wrong time will stress you out. So they take these little directions very serious. They know that when you follow step by step guidance, that you will be led through a day of grace and ease. An accumulation of those types of days will eventually lead you into synchronicity and all sorts of fun magical circumstances. 

The truth is that you don't have to be a big time psychic healer to receive these messages. You are intuitive. Intuition is like a muscle- everyone has it. You can strengthen your intuitive muscle by starting to follow it- even if it doesn't always make sense. That way, instead of being the person who is shaking their head saying, "I knew it." You can be the peaceful person nodding their head saying "I did it." 

Keep Going. (Quote by S.C. Lourie.)

Just wanted to share one of my favorite quotes paired with one of my favorite photos from my recent photo shoot.

"I Think it Feels Hard Right Now because You have Stopped Settling. So the Hard isnt Bad. The Hard is a Sign that You are
Accessing Your Warrior Blood. You are Finding Your Power Again. You are Realizing Your Worth. You are Fighting for Your Aliveness. Rather than just Staying Lost in Numb, in Shock, in Compromise, in Wishing Your Life Away.

And that is Heroic, Darling.
That is the Mark of Brave.

Keep going. Remember, Standing Up for Your Right to Feel Alive is Standing Up for Everyone's Right to Feel Alive."

~ S.C. Lourie

The Silent Letting Go

It's a quiet release. Personal, internal, private. It is a silent letting go. No arguments, no big announcements. It is your exhale- a sigh of relief as you gracefully move out of toxicity. A sweet goodbye. A bittersweet step into the unknown. An inner transformation that no one else can see... for now.
Your best kept secret held safe in your lovely heart. Doing the right thing for yourself regardless of the world around you is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you. And you do it because of love, and because where you are going,  you cannot take the toxic with you.
