Quotes from Laurie E. Smith

Sometimes, discomfort means we are on the verge of a major turning point or revelation.

It isn't always easy to bear your soul to perfect strangers, harder still, sometimes, to do so to loved ones.

Even when I was resisting, one thing that has kept me moving forward on my soul's path has been the joy I feel while doing this work.

Sometimes we don't understand the full picture of why we need to do what we feel led to do. Our job is simply to have the courage to honor what our soul is saying.

Open your eyes, and trust your own unique way of receiving answers.

Take breaks. Remember to breathe. Go at whatever speed feels most right to you.

Follow your heart, trust your instincts and allow yourself to do what feels best. Above all, trust your wisdom within.

Follow your heart, trust your instincts, and above all else, have fun!

When you are genuinely being your true self, you need no words of explanation. You just are.

When it comes to accessing intuitive information, it is not so much about certain things we need to do, but rather it is about making space--getting out of the way--so a higher power can connect with us.

Making the decision to honor the wisdom of one's soul isn't always easy. It can bring into question our very sense of who we are. If we really listen to the truth bubbling up beneath the surface of our lives, things might change. We might have to face the fact that our inner wisdom and that which we have come to accept as true, safe and popular may be very different--a process that can be rather disconcerting, to say the least.

Something happens when we listen to the soul. The soul gets ecstatic. It's almost as if, after being ignored for so long, our truest, divine self is delighted to finally be noticed and will do anything to keep the relationship humming along.

You will remember it as having been a moment of intense and complete joy. Look to that moment. You will know when you are seeing world as Spirit, because you will recognize that feeling of joy.

Whenever we reach an unexpected barrier in the way of honoring our souls' truth through action, it is essential to dust ourselves off and keep flying toward our dreams.

I had no idea so much happiness could be experienced by simply sitting in a chair.

When I'm connecting with a higher source through meditation, I am happy. Life flows. Miraculous things happen. On the other hand, when I am blocking, resisting, or any part of me is criticizing the process by which connection happens for me, I feel deep discontent.

Turning points are not something we can fake through action. They come after long--often dark--periods of work and preparation. But when they do, it's as if all the energies of the universe coalesce and we know, deep within our hearts, we are ready to do whatever it takes to follow the soul's call.

I'll never forget seeing that familiar smile or look of amazement creep across a student's face when she has just connected with a high level of energy or has had some type of experience she never before realized was possible.

Like all creations, I have come to understand that the messages I received have their own path to follow, and their own timing in which they needed to be set free.

When we honor our souls' truth, in whatever form that comes to us, and have the courage to follow where it leads, in spite of challenges, distractions or unexpected detours that come our way--the reply from the Spirit world is truly miraculous.

We each receive guidance in whatever form we are most open to at any given moment.

Set aside a specific time each day to meditate and tune into what your soul's wisdom has to share about the topic you are currently exploring. You can do this by simply connecting with your breath, softening your heart, and opening to whatever is revealed to you.

When I have the courage to trust and follow the signs I receive, I am far happier than when I am hiding from or denying them.

Trust what feels right to you, let go of the rest.
