In this video I address the very real possibility that US midterm elections on Tuesday, November 8th may result in a "red wave," and the anxiety people have been expressing to me about this possibility. Here I provide affirmation and validation for these concerns, along with tools and support for how best to navigate an outcome that may not be favorable to some, understanding that we are in the midst of an empire's collapse and how to continue our work of wanting to build a new and more loving world while the dying world burns itself to the ground.

Disclaimer:  This is NOT an anti-Republican video. The concerns addressed here are regarding those who call themselves Republican but who have diverged from traditional Republican values and who have turned instead toward hatred, divisiveness, and violence as their platform.

I can no longer deny it.  The Way of Love is political. The Way of Love is counter-cultural, radical, and upsets the status quo. Love calls us to: feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, set prisoners free, open the eyes of the blind, heal the sick.  If this amounts to a "woke" agenda, then so-be-it. I choose love and all the ways in which love calls us to be love for ourselves and for one another.  "Love your neighbor. Everyone is your neighbor."

This week's Way of Love Video Podcast explores the "G-word."  Humanity's evolution as it relates to our concepts of that from whence we came. Is it the old man in the sky? A many-armed God?  Or will our human conceptualizations of the Source always fall short of what "G" really is?   www.lauriannlumby.com

The call of the mystic is often accompanied by the gift of empathy - the ability to feel what other people are feeling, and to feel things that are happening in the world.  This gift of empathy is often identified by strange, otherwise unexplainable physical and emotional symptoms: physical pain, vertigo, ringing in the ears, dizziness, nausea, migraines, visual disturbances, unexplained sorrow, anxiety, grief, fear, etc.  While it's important to consult a medical doctor in the event these symptoms have a medical and treatable cause.  If not, it might just be that you're an empath.   www.lauriannlumby.com

In this video, learn this simple and completely unexplainable practice for healing the places within ourselves that have forgotten we are LOVE.   www.lauriannlumby.com

Forgiveness is most often taught to us as a simple change in attitude or as if it is something we can do simply by virtue of effort or will (get over it and move one).  I have found, however, that none of this is true.  Forgiveness, instead, is a healing process that takes intention, time and grace. Forgiveness is something we do for ourselves so that we can be free of the wounds that keep us from remembering our true nature as Love and from living freely from that Love.   www.lauriannlumby.com
