Hello Beautiful Ones~

I’m in the process of getting my Blog up and running. Being a bit new to this technology, please send the light that I navigate this gracefully. Just for your kindness in checking this out, here is a message from the angels that channeled through me recently…

With Light and Blessings, Laurel

Born into the Light
by Laurel Bleadon

Beautiful One, Thank you for all the light you are bringing to the planet. In this moment, acknowledge yourself for all the change you have been willing to move through. You are not the same person you once were. You have grown by leaps and bounds. You are beginning to more fully recognize the great beauty that radiates from your soul. You are giving yourself permission to share your gifts with the world.

You are a miracle. And many miracles will be born through you and this work you are stepping into. You have given yourself permission to step into the Bigness of God’s dreams for you. Thank you for this. You have released the needs of your ego’s chatter to always be at the helm. Instead you are learning to attune to your Wise One, to your Divine Self and in doing so, you create a direct conduit to heaven.

For so long, people have misjudged that they need to die to be born into the light. You are among the pioneers who are remembering how to live in the light while still walking in physical form. This is an art form that was lost for so long. But it is the birthright of all humans, and you are among those that will teach, will remind, and will illuminate the path so that others will see what is possible when you live with God, when you live with joy and when you allow the angels in to assist you on your journey.

Bless you. Allow the wind to carry you somewhere beautiful. Out there, in the future, there you sit, contented, well-loved and a source of inspiration for others who yearn to find their hearts amid the rubble that once was their life.

Yesterday I had the blessing of attending a “Healing Play Day” in Hermosa Beach, CA. The Play Day is an open house sponsored by Valorie Renée Knutson, a gifted healer and Reiki Master where several wonderful intuitive readers & healers are available to provide mini sessions. I was guided to attend by my friend, Camille - an amazing Angel Therapy Practitioner®. Camille has been doing angel readings at the Play Days since last may and has often talked about the beautiful energy present during these gatherings.

I went there yesterday, not certain what I was seeking… but while I was milling about, I met Bill Bradshaw, an Intuitive who uses astrology to assist in attuning to information for the client. I hadn’t been planning on a reading, but as soon as I met Bill, I could feel Spirit guiding us together.

I have to say, the reading with Bill was a beautiful love message from Spirit and the angels. Bill’s presence is utterly steeped in loving, and I could feel the angels all around us. Bill brought forward confirmation that everything is blessed and going along beautifully. It was a message I needed to hear yesterday.

So, this post includes the links of all of these wonderful practioners. If any of you are looking for a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, the Healing Play Days are held twice a month. I highly recommend them!!

It is a choice to choose the light. I was reminded of this during my reading with Bill Bradshaw on Sunday. Spirit came through him to remind me that I made a conscious choice to leave my corporate job to launch my full-time practice as a spiritual teacher and guide. I was reminded that I chose to move into the higher vibrations of consciousness and that change was at hand.

I have had a tendency not to be terribly comfortable with change. I am a Taurus earth girl who can get very comfortable in the tried and true. However, we are sometimes called to dismantle our lives so that we can give birth to a new life that resonates with our deepest desires. I wish I could reflect that this is always easy… but as most of us know, it is not. Big change can cause discomfort and fear. However, it also serves as a gateway to new adventures.

The angels want us to know that even if we are scared, that change beckons us forth to a new dimension of ourselves that has yet to exist. This takes courage and commitment.

I know for me, that these last few months have been tremendously fulfilling, but also a bit tender and scary. I have spent most of my adult life working in corporate America. This meant regular paychecks, benefits and structure to my life. At times it felt confining, but it also brought with it a comforting stability.

But in the middle of last year, I was guided to take steps to leave my job and launch my full-time practice as a Spiritual Teacher & Guide. It has been one of the most amazing journeys of my life. When I log into my web site, or see clients stepping forward in their dreams, I am filled with a knowing that I am living my life on purpose. It is an exquisite experience.

So today, acknowledge yourself for all the change you have been willing to walk through (even if it didn’t seem to be change you consciously chose). It takes courage to be born. Truly it does. So if you are in the midst of change, take a deep breath and know that you have a team of Light around you. Ask for their help. Let them know what you need. Go ahead and cry if you need to. Go ahead and give your fear a voice if it is present. But don’t let the fear or sadness stop you from giving birth to your new life. Step forward and allow change to come swirling around you in all the colors of the rainbow. Your new life awaits. Be it changing jobs, relationships, eating patterns, living situations or getting a new hair style… invite in change. It is OK… and it always brings with it the secret language of our dreams. Change is sometimes the only portal through which we can get to our new destination.

So be brave, dear ones. And let’s hold hands as we jump into the next adventure.

Angel Wings

The angels love to leave signs for us… look around today for signs of magic. Perhaps you will find a penny.. angel wings in the sky… a glimmer of light in someone’s eyes.

Here’s a message that the angels sent through this morning…

Who you are is everything. Right now, awaken your heart to all that you are. Allow the Ancient Wise One to rise up within you and bring forward your gifts. Be not afraid of you intuitive abilities. For so long has man judged intuition and clairvoyance as oddities and parlor tricks. But they are the gifts that allow us to bridge the heavens. Know that your mystical self is alive and well. So allow it to develop. Allow Spirit to have its way with you and give birth to a new dimension of you that has yet to exist in all of time. You are ready for this. You are worthy of this. Allow the angels to clear any blocks or limiting beliefs you are holding. For they are like the rain, they can evaporate if only you will give permission for them to disappear.

The angels asked me to post this poem that came through me in the tender months after my father had made his transition… My sense is that somewhere out there, someone needs the comfort of hearing this message…

The Balloon

My string has broken and I float aimlessly against the darkened sky
wishing someone would pull me back down to earth and tether me safely
to the wrist of a child where I might induce spontaneous fits of
giggling. For I will be their favorite color and I will float and
bounce with their every move.

And they will dream of flying like me. Weightless. Magical. But
they will cry when my string breaks and I once again float out of
their grasp, back to my place in the sky.

For string is only a temporary binding and cannot keep me from my
purpose. But yet I weep with each goodbye.

Karen Bishop has posted a new Energy Alert for March 8th. She talks about the huge shift in energy that we experienced on March 7th.

I never cease to be amazed by Karen’s gift to verbalize the shifts in energy that are happening on the planet. My earth-self likes to think that I’m all on my own and completely unique in my experience… but then I read these Energy Alerts and realize that I’m moving through the waves with multitudes of other Lightworkers.

For me, I had been feeling tired and tender. It felt like I was pushing my projects forward, but meeting with little grace in the process. But yesterday, it felt like the dam broke and suddenly everything was filled with light and moved forward beautifully. When I read the Energy Alert, I went “A-ha! Of course…”

So, light to you wherever you are! Let’s all hold hands as we continue to navigate this potent time of change. Remember, we are the way-showers and our way is blessed.

This image is by visionary artist, Anahata Katkin, of PaPaYa Creative. Her artwork truly inspires my heart. I have a copy of this print in my home, and each time I look at it, it brings forward such light energy.

Definitely go visit her site if you’re looking for beautiful cards & artwork that resonate with light!

The angels love to get our attention. Out of nowhere they can manifest surprises that cannot really be chalked up to coincidence. There seemed to be a lot of that happening today.

This morning I did an angel reading with a lovely woman who works at a large retail store. On her way into work she was contemplating our upcoming reading and felt a bit nervous. She wondered what the angels would have to say to her. Then she looked down and saw a white piece of paper on the floor. She picked it up and on it was written a single word, “Laurel”. Yep. That’s my name… and we were about to begin our reading together. Whoa… You know, I do this for a living, and even I’m surprised and in awe when stuff like this happens. As you can imagine, Laurel isn’t exactly a common name out there, but somewhere the angels orchestrated amazing synchronicity.

In an other adventure… in my earlier blog entry from today, I posted about PaPaYa Creative. A friend just called to tell me that this afternoon she was an Zen Zoo Tea in Hollywood and was looking at some magnets. She felt guided to get one, but didn’t… She went back to the office and decided to pull up my blog. She saw the PaPaYa link and felt guided to investigate. It turns out that the magnets from Zen Zoo Tea were PaPaYa magnets. Synchronicity strikes again!

For me, these are moments to be celebrated. These are the moments when the veil becomes thin and the angels and fairies are able to send us messages that cannot be discounted.

I am grateful to be serving as a gateway for such lovely experiences to find their way into the world.

Have a most blessed day~!

Angel in the House?

I just love this picture… for me, it is a reminder that for those of us who are doing the work of angels on the earth plane, it is important that we take off our wings once in a while and rest.

I know for me, sometimes I just need to take a break from the world and let my earth-girl-self have her way with me. This usually involves curling up on the couch with my guy, TIVO and a random buffet of snacks from the pantry.

It’s not always easy serving as a Lightworker on the planet. Some days there seems to be an endless flow of people who need our help. But remember, it is OK to take care of you, too. In fact, it’s more than OK, it’s necessary. One of my favorite learnings from my experience at University of Santa Monica is the adage “First take care of yourself, so you can help take care of others.”

I’m afraid that I sometimes forget this, and I allow myself to run ragged… My energy gets depleted and then I just get cranky and at-odds with the world.

So, ladies & gentleman… it’s OK to take off your wings once in a while and rest. It’s OK to take time for you. Replenishing our energy is an important part of serving as Lightworkers.

If you are having a challenging time letting go, ask the Angels to take over. They’ll be happy to.

When I need a rest, I energetically hang out the “Off Duty” sign and let the angels know that I need a break. I ask them to take care of the Lightwork, while I go curl up and watch TV. (And how authentic is it that I share that… I should say, and I go for a hike… go to the ocean… but seeing as how my audience for this blog is highly intuitive, you’d see through that charade in a heartbeat~!)
