Finding Your Authentic Self: Spiritual Awakening and Inner Guidance with Laura Hoorweg का पूरा ट्रांसक्रिप्ट

nothing but the immense beauty of nature. 00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:33.329 There was the sky, there was all kinds of lakes and rivers, nothing but trees and rocks, and it was just beautiful. 00:07:33.409 --> 00:07:42.689 And I think the intensity of that beauty of nature is actually what uh triggered that experience in the first place. 00:07:43.009 --> 00:07:44.930 Just the beauty of nature? 00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:45.810 Yep. 00:07:46.050 --> 00:07:47.009 That's crazy. 00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:51.730 I would I would have thought that you were doing like something dangerous to have a. 00:07:51.889 --> 00:07:54.769 Well, I was I was in a height, okay. 00:07:54.930 --> 00:07:57.409 That I actually hadn't thought of it that way. 00:07:57.490 --> 00:08:02.610 Uh at that exact moment, I wasn't because we were just resting at the top of the cliff. 00:08:03.009 --> 00:08:16.129 But we had just scaled that cliff because the the camp that I was working for, I was working for a Y camp, a canoeing camp, but as part of the program, they also had rock climbing and repelling as part of the program. 00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:26.050 And we were doing a training session, and we were we had just climbed up the rock face, and we were taking a break, and then of course you climb up and you rappel down. 00:08:26.370 --> 00:08:32.129 So I guess I was actually, if I if I really want to think about it, it was a heightened experience. 00:08:32.290 --> 00:08:44.370 I was the adrenaline definitely had a good adrenaline rush going from climbing up the rock face, and also mentally and psychologically preparing to do the rappel down. 00:08:45.009 --> 00:08:48.290 So it would have been a combination of those two things. 00:08:48.529 --> 00:08:58.210 But people don't understand the power of the awe and beauty of nature, and this is why, and it's not just the awe and beauty of nature, it's the energy. 00:08:58.450 --> 00:09:36.450 Being in the wilderness is an entirely different energy than being in a populated place, like being in a city or a town, or this is why being out in nature, and when I say nature, the the wilder the better, okay, which means the more remote the better, because the energy signature is so different, and that is my that is where I really connect to spirit very easily and very deeply because there's no other nothing else going on. 00:09:36.610 --> 00:09:55.409 Because you have to realize when we're in a civilization, so to speak, we're surrounded by all kinds of you know, electronics, peoples, you know, we're crammed in, there's a high density of people, so there's a high density of emotional energies that we're having to deal with. 00:09:55.570 --> 00:10:14.370 When you're out in the middle of obviously call it God F nowhere, it's a totally different energy as opposed to being in a city surrounded by all kinds of different energies, negative energies, different people, electronics, you know, Wi-Fi, all those kinds of things. 00:10:14.529 --> 00:10:15.730 So it's very, very different. 00:10:15.809 --> 00:10:24.370 That's why being out in nature is so healing because you don't have to deal with all those other vibrations and frequencies. 00:10:24.689 --> 00:10:25.889 I would agree to that. 00:10:26.129 --> 00:10:52.210 I know that when I've been out, you know, going on camping trips with my family or anything of that nature when I was younger, or even when I go out in nature now that I'm an adult, as soon as I feel lighter, I feel more joy, happiness, but then when I even the thought of coming back to civilization, I just go, and then when I'm here, I'm just like so heavy. 00:10:52.370 --> 00:11:00.049 I'm I can be light, but it's harder to be that lighter version of myself because there's so much weighing us down here. 00:11:00.529 --> 00:11:14.370 Well, it literally takes more energy to keep your vibration high like that when you're in regular circumstances, a city or a town or whatever, or you're surrounded by a lot of other people. 00:11:14.929 --> 00:11:20.529 So the the bottom line is the less civilization and the less amount of people. 00:11:20.689 --> 00:11:21.809 And that's the other thing. 00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:37.090 I was only with probably half a dozen people at the time, too, in the middle, like I said, in the middle of nowhere, basically, with all this nature just going on for miles and miles and miles, right? 00:11:37.169 --> 00:11:39.570 There was no cars, no nothing. 00:11:39.970 --> 00:11:42.370 So, and no Wi-Fi signals. 00:11:42.689 --> 00:11:47.090 Of course, that was back in the day where those didn't really exist either. 00:11:47.409 --> 00:12:06.610 So, but if you're out in the bush and you don't have a cell phone with you, and you're lucky enough not to be near a tower, because they've planted towers just about everywhere now, it's pretty hard to get away from, actually, now that I think about it, because they've got towers now on mountaintops, and it's crazy. 00:12:06.929 --> 00:12:12.370 But um 40-50 years ago it wasn't that way. 00:12:12.769 --> 00:12:13.250 Right. 00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:17.809 How do people build a deep connection with our own intuitive guidance? 00:12:20.450 --> 00:12:22.610 Actually, it's funny, that's a great segue. 00:12:22.769 --> 00:12:28.289 One of the best ways is is being out in a pristine environment like that. 00:12:28.610 --> 00:12:33.889 There's there's a number of things that you can do to to deepen that connection with yourself. 00:12:34.049 --> 00:12:41.330 One is being in nature, the other, the primary one is is meditation, meditation, and meditation. 00:12:41.730 --> 00:12:42.049 Okay. 00:12:44.529 --> 00:12:47.730 The other way is through anything creative. 00:12:48.289 --> 00:12:52.769 And when we say creative, it's a pretty broad spectrum. 00:12:52.850 --> 00:12:55.490 It's not just doing art and things like that. 00:12:55.889 --> 00:13:16.289 For some people, it's cooking or baking or you know, woodworking, anything that has that create

even just like listening to music, reading for a lot of people, or journaling, writing, is is a very good way to connect to yourself. 00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:26.049 There's uh really harmonic things like well, it is music, but not in what normally people would think about in the way of music. 00:13:27.009 --> 00:13:36.769 Like crystal bowls, you know, gong baths, uh all those sound healing modalities are fantastic for that. 00:13:37.090 --> 00:13:55.649 Energy, all kinds of different forms of energy healing, yoga, any of the any of the martial arts, especially the how shall I say, the gentler forms of martial arts like tai Chi and Qigang and things like that. 00:13:55.809 --> 00:14:04.289 But I, you know, I even when I was a kid, I took karate for a while, and even those things can help you connect to yourself as well. 00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:54.689 This is gonna sound funny to a lot of people, but being in water because when you're in water, it's almost a simulation of being going back to being in the womb, and we are at our most pristine before we come into this world, and everybody tells us who we should be instead of who we really are, because we're all brainwashed and conditioned by family, friends, media, culture, religions, you know, the type of family we're born into, all those things affect the our relationship and take us away from our authentic selves. 00:14:55.009 --> 00:14:59.570 Because all these things are telling us who we should be instead of who we are. 00:14:59.809 --> 00:15:35.330 And education is one of the biggest because it's just like don't even get me started on the education system because especially the some of the other uh education systems, like I hear really good things about in Japan, especially they they they focus the first early years on manners and connection and socialization, and they I've heard that they're doing a lot of that too in in some of the Nordic countries. 00:15:35.570 --> 00:15:57.330 Instead of focusing on you know academics and and and reading, writing, and arithmetic in those first really developmental years, you know, five, six, seven year olds, they are focused on socialization and getting them connected to each other and you know how to interact with the world. 00:15:57.490 --> 00:16:25.970 There's a lot of new schools coming out too that are using, uh I can't remember what they call them, they're using nature studies, taking children out into the woods and things like that to actually get them connected to nature and how things really work, and teaching them science and biology in that way as opposed to strictly book learning, that's another incredible, but there isn't enough of that, okay? 00:16:26.289 --> 00:16:36.129 That's the way that all our public school systems should work, and for that matter, our private school system should work, but unfortunately at this point they don't. 00:16:36.210 --> 00:16:43.730 And I think that's one of if we really want to change society, we have to change

the way that we're raising our children. 00:16:43.889 --> 00:16:45.409 That's what it comes down to. 00:16:45.649 --> 00:16:53.730 Because the reason we end up with the adults we have, okay, is because of the way that that that they were raised as children. 00:16:54.610 --> 00:16:56.129 Yeah, I would agree. 00:16:56.450 --> 00:16:59.570 Do you think that it's called like holistic practices? 00:17:01.330 --> 00:17:21.330 Is the the in the in everything we have to get more holistic about how we even like medicine, mental health, you know, everything, education, all those things, parenting, you know, I think I'd said education already. 00:17:21.490 --> 00:17:37.170 All everything we have to start looking at the whole being instead of we're we've been so focused on creating human doers, we need to be creating human beings, which is a very different thing. 00:17:37.410 --> 00:17:37.730 Yeah. 00:17:38.130 --> 00:17:51.810 And that that's what's really going to change how we relate to ourselves and how we relate to others, because how we relate to others is all prefaced on how we relate to ourselves. 00:17:52.210 --> 00:17:56.610 Where do you see hum humanity going over the next decade and beyond? 00:17:58.210 --> 00:18:02.450 That's what I see happening, and that's what I've been shown over and over again. 00:18:02.690 --> 00:18:05.890 That we are going to be much more human beings. 00:18:06.050 --> 00:18:11.730 We're going to get more and more, how shall I say, less dense. 00:18:12.210 --> 00:18:21.730 I've been shown when we first came to Earth in the physical form, our form was much more leaning heavily towards a light body. 00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:28.370 We were physical, but we weren't nowhere near the dense form that we have now. 00:18:28.610 --> 00:18:32.050 And that is a is a form of vibration. 00:18:32.130 --> 00:18:35.170 And as our vibration goes up, do you know anything? 00:18:35.330 --> 00:18:54.690 Uh I love the new physics because the new physics is now proving and showing us all these uh spiritual principles that have been around for thousands and thousands of years, and they were poo-pooed for so long, and now the new physics, the quantum physics and things are showing us that these things are real. 00:18:54.930 --> 00:19:18.210 Even the effect on water, you know, just having posting a label on a jar of water of love or joy or something can have an incredible effect on the actual molecular structure of that water, as opposed to if you put on something like hate or or lying or you know, some very negative thing. 00:19:18.530 --> 00:19:23.170 So when you that's been scientifically proven by the work of Dr. 00:19:23.490 --> 00:19:26.290 Moto, I believe it was, I think in Japan. 00:19:26.690 --> 00:19:35.890 But the point is, if you even think about that one example, and the fact that we're like, you know, 75% or more water. 00:19:36.290 --> 00:19:55.730 So if that's true, and and water is such a can be so affected by the vibration that you

put around it, even just by putting a label on a jar, then just look at how holistically we can be affected, either positively or negatively by our environment. 00:19:56.050 --> 00:19:56.370 Yeah. 00:19:56.610 --> 00:20:02.450 Environment really does play a role in how we how we are. 00:20:02.770 --> 00:20:05.410 Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. 00:20:05.650 --> 00:20:16.850 You can try and you you can try and try and try to be high vibrational, but if your environment is not matching, it's not gonna go as high as you can go. 00:20:17.970 --> 00:20:24.690 Well, and there's so many things, not only we have to overcome so many things now. 00:20:24.770 --> 00:20:31.810 Like I was talking about, like all these Wi-Fi's, all this these electronic things that we have to overcome. 00:20:32.130 --> 00:20:41.090 And it's not, you know, so it makes it makes it harder just to maintain a decent level, let alone raise your vibration. 00:20:41.330 --> 00:20:52.930 So there's gonna have to be some serious changes in the way that we physically live in order to actually start getting to some of those higher vibrational states. 00:20:53.010 --> 00:21:05.410 There's a lot of things we can do right now to help protect ourselves and to help raise our vibrations, but in order to get to the level that we need to get to, uh a lot of things are gonna have to change. 00:21:05.650 --> 00:21:08.130 Huge amount of things are gonna have to change on this earth. 00:21:08.370 --> 00:21:14.610 The way, and the biggest way one, I think, is the way that we use energy. 00:21:15.810 --> 00:21:22.370 And when I speak of energy, I'm talking about all kinds of energy, not just fossil fuels and stuff like that. 00:21:22.530 --> 00:21:24.850 I'm talking about all kinds of energy. 00:21:25.970 --> 00:21:31.970 How do people build resilience resilience in this crazy ever-changing world? 00:21:33.250 --> 00:21:33.570 Okay. 00:21:34.850 --> 00:21:56.290 The best way to build resilience is what I was talking about in terms of self-care, because there's so many things that are basically bombarding us, both externally and internally, because externally we've got all these energy things that we've already spoken of, but we also have poor food quality. 00:21:56.850 --> 00:22:05.010 You know, there's all these chemicals that are going on our skin and in our bodies and that are in the air and that are everywhere. 00:22:05.250 --> 00:22:15.170 My god, you can't even touch those slips that we get as receipts from the cash register covered in chemicals that are like incredibly. 00:22:15.570 --> 00:22:17.890 I just was learning about this the other day. 00:22:18.050 --> 00:22:21.570 I knew it was bad, but they have there's so many. 00:22:21.810 --> 00:22:34.770 It's no wonder now that a lot of the cashiers and stuff are wearing those rubber gloves, those thin rubber gloves, because the chemicals on those printed receipts are just unbelievable. 00:22:35.330 --> 00:22:36.530 It's just unbelievable. 00:22:36.690 --> 00:22:42.130 If you're handling those all day, I can't even imagine the the uh chemical load. 00:22:42.370 --> 00:22:43.890 But that's that's the problem. 00:22:44.290 --> 00:22:46.450 We are so loaded down with chemicals. 00:22:46.610 --> 00:22:59.250 That's why there's so many kids now with allergies and all these crazy diseases and things that are coming up now that never used to exist. 00:22:59.570 --> 00:23:06.130 It's because of all and not only that, but all the chemicals in our food are overprocessed food. 00:23:06.290 --> 00:23:09.010 So there has to be a lot of changes. 00:23:09.250 --> 00:23:17.570 And the way that you do this, the way that you build your own resiliency is to get as clean as possible. 00:23:17.730 --> 00:23:18.050 Okay? 00:23:18.610 --> 00:23:21.570 So eating the cleanest food possible. 00:23:21.650 --> 00:23:23.890 And I'm not just talking about organic. 00:23:24.370 --> 00:23:27.650 I'm talking about making foods from scratch. 00:23:27.970 --> 00:23:33.650 The biggest thing, forget the organic, the biggest thing is processed foods. 00:23:33.810 --> 00:23:38.130 You got to get processed foods out of your life and start cooking. 00:23:38.370 --> 00:23:38.690 Okay? 00:23:39.570 --> 00:23:44.850 And that also includes getting rid of all these fast foods, these quick things that you buy. 00:23:44.930 --> 00:23:50.050 They're just as bad, if not worse, as the processed food that you buy in the grocery store. 00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:57.650 And uh the chemicals, you know, getting rid of as simple as getting rid of all your plasticware. 00:23:57.810 --> 00:24:06.850 And I don't care whether it says BPA free or not, you do not want to be putting food into anything that is plastic. 00:24:07.010 --> 00:24:07.970 And that's another thing. 00:24:08.050 --> 00:24:14.450 When you're buying things too, you do not want to be buying things that are in plastic containers. 00:24:14.690 --> 00:24:27.490 So getting rid of that stuff, getting into glassware or, you know, anything that touches a food should be there's probably only three things glass, stainless steel, or copper. 00:24:27.650 --> 00:24:33.970 And those are the only things that should touch any liquids or any foods that you are ingesting into your body. 00:24:34.210 --> 00:24:37.090 So that's one way to build resilience. 00:24:37.250 --> 00:24:42.610 The other way is looking after your emotional and your mental health as well. 00:24:42.770 --> 00:25:00.530 And that's things we've already talked about: meditation, yoga, martial arts, spending time in nature, even just downtime, just having instead of you know, people never have any downtime anymore. 00:25:00.770 --> 00:25:08.210 You just need to have some time to just sit and relax and let your body recharge and and and and gear down. 00:25:08.370 --> 00:25:10.370 There's a good there's a good analogy. 00:25:10.690 --> 00:25:17.330 Have some time so that you can gear down, because otherwise, you're

basically see that's the problem. 00:25:17.650 --> 00:25:34.930 The reason that so many people are becoming very unresilient or or susceptible to so many things is because they never have a time where their body is at rest so their body can heal. 00:25:35.090 --> 00:25:51.810 We're always in this flight or fright flight or fright mode, and you know, our body's pumping cortisol constantly, and that is not it's not gonna build resilience, it's gonna make you ill. 00:25:52.450 --> 00:25:55.410 Yes, it it really does. 00:25:55.890 --> 00:25:56.530 Yeah. 00:25:59.250 --> 00:26:04.690 You you were saying that in this lifetime we have to get better at using our energy. 00:26:05.970 --> 00:26:11.890 Would you say that that is the number one single most important task to be completed during this lifetime? 00:26:12.130 --> 00:26:13.650 Or is there something else? 00:26:14.050 --> 00:26:14.370 No. 00:26:14.770 --> 00:26:24.770 The reason we're here, the number one task that we're why we came here, the reason we came in the first place was to evolve our souls. 00:26:25.490 --> 00:26:28.690 So this is just experiences, you know. 00:26:28.930 --> 00:26:34.850 We we like to label everything negative, positive, you know, some sometimes somewhere in between. 00:26:35.090 --> 00:26:42.370 But the real purpose to being here on earth, to having a physical embodiment, is to evolve our souls. 00:26:43.090 --> 00:26:45.650 Because it's way faster. 00:26:45.890 --> 00:27:01.490 All the challenges that we have, whether we call them negative or positive, mostly negative, and at least the way we see them, they are actually fast-tracking us in the evolvement of our souls. 00:27:01.570 --> 00:27:21.490 That's why we're here because we do evolve on the other side, but it's very, very slow because there aren't, you know, it's just like the easiest way to look at this is look look back on a period of time in your life when things were really working well, you had very few challenges, you didn't grow very much, okay? 00:27:21.970 --> 00:27:34.450 The places that we know, but yes, yes, but we also tend not to grow very much during those periods, okay? 00:27:35.010 --> 00:27:49.410 When when real, you know, super growth happens, it's usually in and around and after really challenging times in our lives, and that's when you see that steep growth curve going on. 00:27:49.650 --> 00:27:51.330 So that's why we're here. 00:27:51.570 --> 00:27:58.770 But that's there's a difference between the reason why we're here and what we need to do when we're here. 00:27:58.930 --> 00:28:00.770 That's that's quite different. 00:28:01.010 --> 00:28:15.890 So one is the reason we're here in the first place, and the second is how do we maximize not the efficiency, but the how do we maximize the results of what we're trying to do? 00:28:16.130 --> 00:28:22.770 Yeah, the results of what we're trying to do when we're here, and that's all about self-care and developing that resilience. 00:28:23.090 --> 00:28:42.850 Because when you really start becoming resilient, the wonderful thing is you can be in almost any setting, which means anything can go be going on around you, but you can still be in that peace and that connection within yourself, and that's really what resilience is about. 00:28:43.250 --> 00:28:54.130 Because we really can't control most of the things that happen around us, so the only thing that you can truly control is what's going on inside of you, and you can control that. 00:28:54.290 --> 00:29:03.170 A lot of people think that they're basically a slave to their emotions or their thoughts, and that's not true. 00:29:03.570 --> 00:29:37.170 Real involvement is learning how to deal with your not control, because you can't control your thoughts per se, but you can deal with them in a different different ways, and also it's really about self-regulation, you know, regulate learning how to regulate your thoughts and your your reactions, your and changing your reactions into responses as opposed to just reacting, and that's both on a mental and a um emotional level. 00:29:37.970 --> 00:29:40.130 Yeah, it takes both. 00:29:40.450 --> 00:29:55.490 Which then you can regulate your yourself spiritually as well, when you can balance well, it comes down to everything, and then you can actually help regulate yourself physically because it what causes problems in the body is your mental and emotional state. 00:29:55.650 --> 00:30:02.130 It's very like unless you have an injury, okay, like unless you fall down and break a leg or something. 00:30:02.370 --> 00:30:05.890 That's something, but those things are very easy to heal from. 00:30:06.210 --> 00:30:12.130 What really causes damage to the body, is usually caused from our mental and emotional state. 00:30:12.290 --> 00:30:14.130 That's what really makes us ill. 00:30:14.290 --> 00:30:16.370 That's what degrades the body. 00:30:16.530 --> 00:30:19.730 Okay, it's not usually injuries. 00:30:19.890 --> 00:30:36.210 Injuries are easy for the body to heal, but the damage that's done by huge amounts of stress, whether it's mental or emotional or spiritual in some cases, those are the things that are dis-eased. 00:30:36.290 --> 00:30:41.250 That's what causes the body to degrade and shortens our lifespan. 00:30:41.810 --> 00:30:43.570 Yeah, it really does. 00:30:44.610 --> 00:30:53.490 Well, Laura, is there anything else that you want the audience to know about you, what you do, how to work with you one-on-one if they want to? 00:30:54.850 --> 00:30:57.410 Yeah, I do a number of things. 00:30:57.570 --> 00:31:01.490 The first thing is uh spiritual counseling, which is a one-on-one. 00:31:02.450 --> 00:31:05.890 I basically say that I help people to make their lives work. 00:31:06.130 --> 00:31:09.970 We basically delve into all the things that we've been talking about. 00:31:10.210 --> 00:31:28.450 I can help people with their personal issues, I help people with family issues, I help people with business issues, and through my spiritual counseling, and also through my intuitive coaching, which is kind of like my spiritual counseling on steroids for a longer period of time working one-on-one. 00:31:28.770 --> 00:31:48.450 And the third thing that I do is I help people deal with grief through my mediumship work and helping people to connect with the people on the other side and heal those wounds and heal that grief so that they can go on and be empowered and live their own life instead of we're all meant to grieve. 00:31:48.610 --> 00:31:52.690 Grieving is part of the healing process, but we're not meant to grieve forever. 00:31:52.850 --> 00:32:00.450 If you still see, you know, if you see somebody who's like 10 years later and they're still deep in grief, that means they've got stuck in grief. 00:32:00.530 --> 00:32:06.290 And that is one of the most health, unhealthy positions that you can find yourself in. 00:32:06.450 --> 00:32:11.090 So, and that's probably the only thing now that I actually do in person. 00:32:11.250 --> 00:32:19.810 I do home, I have people host mediumship sessions in in their home because that just works better in person. 00:32:20.130 --> 00:32:31.570 So the easiest way to get in touch with me is to check out my website and through my website, which is www.spirit speaks to me, or you can email me directly, and it's really easy. 00:32:31.650 --> 00:32:33.810 It's just Laura at gmail.com. 00:32:33.970 --> 00:32:46.610 And I'm sure that the lovely hostess is going to have all my links in the show notes so to make it even easier for you. 00:32:47.250 --> 00:32:48.210 Perfect. 00:32:48.530 --> 00:32:49.570 Okay, Laura. 00:32:49.650 --> 00:32:51.570 Thank you so much for your time today. 00:32:51.730 --> 00:32:56.530 I hope you continue to do wonderful things, and thank you for your time. 00:32:57.170 --> 00:32:58.130 You're so welcome. 00:32:58.210 --> 00:32:59.330 I've enjoyed being here. 00:32:59.490 --> 00:33:00.130 Thank you. 00:33:00.370 --> 00:33:01.010 Anytime. 00:33:01.170 --> 00:33:02.130 Bye bye. 00:33:02.450 --> 00:33:03.010 Bye. 00:33:03.730 --> 00:33:05.570 And there you have it, folks. 00:33:05.730 --> 00:33:14.370 If you want to work with her one-on-one, feel free to check her out at spiritspeaks to me.com. 00:33:14.850 --> 00:33:25.810 And for more coaching tips and tricks or to work with me one on one, feel free to check me out at Guiding Pathways on Facebook or Instagram. 00:33:26.130 --> 00:33:31.890 Until next time, everybody, this has been your morning tea with Coach Kennedy.
