Or If You...

• Want to develop your spiritual gifts but are a beginner
• Are spiritual but need help because your life is in chaos

Or If You

• Love to co-create with others and the community I attract inspires you

Then welcome!  This site was created for you.

I'm an intuitive, spiritual life coach.  I talk to Guides (and they talk back).  ;)

I am an empath which means I can sense energy and emotions.  I can also sense people's life paths and blocks.  And I work with Law of Attraction and Personal Growth principles.

The many articles on this site are free.
You can read the articles and comment on them - I answer back.
If you want private and personal help I do email and phone consultations.

After struggling so much figuring who I was and why I was...
After starting and stopping my spiritual path through many hardships...
I want to help others who are seeking this information.

There is a balance between the being spiritual and being here now on Earth.
And there is a balance between Goal Setting and letting the Universe provide.
Just like there is a balance between being conscious about your life and letting your unconscious flow.

I hope to help you find your balance so that your life is easier, more rewarding and if you can stand it: fun!

Warmly,
Alora

P.S. You can read more about me on the About Alora page.

I've been going to a Center for Spiritual Living on Sundays lately. Normally I'm all goofy smiles but today I was tense.

"You are here to relax and rejuvinate, darnit." I said to myself.

But I couldn't relax.  Not even with the amazing singing and inspirational messages.

"What is going on?", I wondered.

And then it hit me.

What am I doing?!

I mean really, what am I doing with my time?  My focus?  My self?  Why am I so darn tense?

And, more importantly, why have I increasingly felt like a selfish, self-centered argh?

I forgot my top priority.

My kids.  Being a mom.  Having my husband and family.  And yes I need time off to recharge but I have been thinking I need time off to recharge because:

I am burned out.  I can't get enough me-time.  I need a lot more me-time. Me me me.

So I get time off to recharge and I don't feel recharged. I feel like I am holding on until the next time I am recharged.  Because I forgot my Top Priority.  I forgot my why.

That's when I added a wee bit of intent to my life like this:  

My intent is to recharge so that I am full of energy for the purpose of:

• Enjoying my amazing children
• Inspiring those around me
• Feeling unstoppable

And "whoosh!" just like that I was totally myself again.  My light-shining-bright-loving-life self.

It comes as no surprise that I am both recharged and full of energy today and I am not simply holding on until the next time my well gets filled.

I remember why I fill and so now I get to live it.
And that is oh-so-good.

:)

Are you forgetting why you are recharging?  It's funny I hadn't thought about setting intent for my periods of rest, but wow, that totally makes sense - and, gee, it works!

It is just me or does everyone have a huge cranky-pants moment right before a breakthrough?

I remember driving somewhere new with my husband and the kids.  We were going hiking.

With a toddler.

Now maybe other women are totally zen about this but I am not.  "Who is going to carry this kid?" I keep thinking.

So I'm resisting the nice, outdoorsy family outing and as we are driving I have a mini-dread-panic. "This is too far, we missed the turn."

And my husband says, "Maybe we missed the turn."

And I say "Oh, great, now we have to turn around."

*Blink Blink*

Wait.  This sounds familiar.  How many times have we turned around only to realize we were less than a mile from where we were going?

Lots.

"Keep going!" I shouted as I pulled out my pirate patch and telescope.  "Full speed ahead!  If we feel like this, we must be close!"

And sure enough our hiking spot was just around the bend.

Animal Crackers
So I am manifesting my ideal weight.  And I'm resisting.  I could go into it, but I'll save that for later.

For this post I want you to picture me standing in front of the kitchen window at 10:00pm shoving animal crackers into my mouth.

*Munch Munch*

Drinking diet pepsi out of a coffee mug.

Shoving more animal crackers into my mouth.

*Munch*

I am not hungry.  In fact, I am standing there thinking:

Man, I have a problem with food.  It's late at night and I'm not even hungry and I can't stop eating.  I wonder if I'll ever reach my ideal weight.  I guess I could just give up, but not before I eat this entire bag to get it out of my sight.

But instead of laying down right there on the kitchen floor with my arms wrapped around the bag of animal cracker crumbs I simply observed myself.

A part of me remembered not to turn around just yet.

Still.  It was a sucky place to be in.

Checking The Email
Before bed I checked my email to find an encouraging note from a fellow Law of Attraction person cheering me on regarding my body.

I got a bit teary eyed, I didn't feel so alone and I went to sleep in my bed.  Without the empty bag.

Whoah.
The next morning I woke up and I wasn't hungry.

When my toddler asked for carrots I thought, "Hmm, those sound good." So I ate them.  For breakfast.

Carrots.

You know, the orange things.  Vegetables I think they are called.

And just like "that" I shifted.

It's been two days now and I am eating like a healthy person not because I have to, but because it's just what IS.

It's so crazy!

One minute you feel so far away and the next minute it's your natural state of being.

For You. Yes, You.
I am writing this down in case you are in a sucky place.  In case you are resiting something small like a hike or big like your ideal life.  If you are feeling like laying down and giving up remember this instead.

Remember the pirate with the carrot.  Full speed ahead.  All is well.

So there I am, arse-end-up with my head in the fridge thinking, "Law of Attraction makes you want to do things you hate."

Because I don't want to clean the fridge in the garage.  And yet there I am, knees on the cold concrete floor, bins and shelves everywhere, scrubbing.

Because I want to clean the fridge in the garage.

I'm not kidding.

Yesterday you could have bribed me with dinner at Mojo Burger and $20 and I would have said, "No way."

Today I'm all smiles and energy, a bounce in my step, happy to clean it out, plug it in and get that baby purring.

The Universe is a genius.

When you concentrate on what you want (a clean garage) and you keep building that vision (wouldn't it be nice to have that fridge taken care of) and then life starts bringing you examples to play with (wow, this dinner party would be easier if I had that extra fridge up and running to store this extra stuff)....

...the next thing you know you are wanting to clean the fridge.  You can't wait to get those drawers dried you are so excited.  And no amount of old or spilled food will bust your groove.

That, to me, is the awe of Law of Attraction.

A million dollars, sure.  Cure for cancer?  You got it. But making me want to clean out the fridge?  A freakin' miracle.

I can't say enough about reducing tolerations.

What are tolerations?  You know, those things you are tolerating.  Those things that are bugging you that you haven't taken care of yet.

Like the paper towel holder that falls off every third time you use it.

Or the junk you trip on in front of your washing machine.

Or that guy you're dating.  (Just kidding. Unless it's true.)

I first heard about reducing tolerations from LOA Coach Jeannette Maw. You can read a post she wrote about tolerations here.

She told me that tolerations - even the squeaky back door that makes you cringe when you open it - "kink your vibe".  So if you reduce your tolerations you'll flow better.

Holy Unkinking, Batman.  She was right.

About six or eight months I ago I started eliminating them in my life.  Once I started I was hooked!

I had no idea how much that pile of one-off socks from the dryer was really bugging me... and how satisfying it would feel to empty out a drawer for them so I could house them and pair them up over time.

Socks finding mates!  I love it!

It's a brilliant one-two punch.

I know what I want to manifest.  I do my Law of Attraction work to visualize it, align with it, etc.

When I feel stuck.  When I'm in the Data Gathering Phase.  When I'm looking for things to do to occupy myself so I don't take knee-jerk uninspired action what do I do?

You guessed it!

Reduce tolerations!

• I hang that picture that has been sitting on the floor leaning against the wall for months.
• I put go through the kid's clothes and get rid of the too-smalls so the drawers can actually close.
• I once (I'm not kidding you) got out and old toothbrush and scrubbed around the crevices of the sink handles.

Wow!
How fabulous it is to reduce a toleration!

How amazing it is to feel like my life is getting better and better and better (even if that thing hasn't manifested yet...)

And how much I appreciating having all the energy back the "should have sent a long time ago thank you card" was taking.
