The Way of Love with Lauri Ann Lumby

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.   

Learn what it means to be a prophet - the gifts and challenges of this calling. 

In this week's episode of Soul Lessons, we explore what I believe is the single most important thing we can do for ourselves - create and nurture a daily practice.  I define "practice" in a very broad way and provide simple tools for getting that practice started!

In this week's video/podcast, we explore the topic of our original nature and how we can begin to return to that state. 

In this Soul Lesson, we explore the topic of anger - its many different faces and how we can understand, process and engage with our anger in healthy and productive ways. 

In this episode we will explore the cause of the division and separation that plagues humanity - and that which is the cause of all non-loving human behavior. Healing this separation brings us back to our original nature as Love. 

We live in a culture that often denies the presence and importance of the grieving process, and which additionally neglects giving credit to all the experiences of life which might bring about grief. In this video, we will explore the causes of grief and tools for being present to its healing effects. 

"Should" and "Shame" are two patterns of feelings and behaviors we are invited to unchain ourselves from in the journey toward our Soul's fulfillment.  Should arises out of non-loving conditioning masked as manipulation and control. Shame is a natural biologically driven feeling that arises when a) we are doing something non-loving to another, or b) if something non-loving is being done to us.  The feeling of shame can be conditioned into us, leaving us feeling shame when we really did nothing wrong.  In this video we learn how to identify the shoulds and shames in our lives along with some beginning practices for releasing ourselves from their grip. 

We live in a world that conditions us to divide - to create separation between ourselves and others based on any number of ways to "other" each other. Division arises out of fear and out of our own unhealed wound of separation (we'll talk about that wound in another episode). We have the freedom NOT to participate in separation and we have the freedom to withdraw our consent from any systems that seek to create division. This video presents the invitation to cease from this participation along with some basic tools for beginning that release. 

Thank you for joining me for The Way of Love video and podcast!  In this introduction video, you will learn the why and how of this webcast.  Why am I offering these messages?  How might they help to provide guidance, support, comfort, resources, tools and even inspiration as we collectively move through this time in our human evolution.  We are bearing witness to the death of systems based in fear, power, oppression, and control while simultaneously being given an opportunity to be a part of building our world anew.  Be that Love.  Be that change!

With love,

Lauri Ann Lumby

The Way of Love is revolutionary. In this video we explore how choosing the path of love frees us from those systems that otherwise seek to manipulate and control us.  In choosing the Way of Love, it may appear as if we are choosing separation, when in fact, we are choosing freedom. 

In this podcast we explore the topic of Conditioning, learning how to identify its presence in our lives and recognizing what conditioning has proven harmful. We then begin to learn how to unravel from harmful conditioning so that we might live a life that is authentically ours and authentically free.
