Lara's Blog

Hello Dear Ones,

I thought it was time I finally announce why my travel schedule page has been blank for so long. There will be no traveling for me for some time to come. This is due to my new career as a full-time mom. It doesn't mean that my old career is dead and gone...that could never happen even if I wanted it to...one cannot quit who one is! Simply that life is asking me to shift the focus of my service for awhile onto just one amazing being, my young son.

When it feels appropriate I shall return to serving the world, and when I do it will be at a whole new level. My little one has already and continues to assist me in reaching entirely new heights of myself. Anyone with a child understands that parenthood is a process of walking around with your heart on the outside of your body. That depth of emotional vulnerability, I feel, is what allows us the strength to be all that we can be. There is no greater gift.

May we all reach the deep depths of our vulnerability, embrace it, wear it and share it.

As always, with ALOHA,
Lara

I've just become aware of how very long it has been since I posted a blog. My reason for the long silence is that I've been very busy enjoying all the vast change that occurred (rather suddenly) in my life, enjoying who I am in the midst of all of it and also enjoying the complete and utter change of focus that all this change has demanded. Hence I kind of forgot about my blog...ooops.

I take the time now to offer this tid-bit of wisdom from my own experience, I do hope it will benefit someone out there. If you truly want your dreams to come true, let go of the way in which you wish for the dreams to come true. Actually do more than let go...completely give up on what you want it to look like.

Then ask every part of yourself if it is in alignment with the manifestation of your dream. This is key. Until all parts of yourself (we are all made up of many parts, many aspects) are in agreement you won't be able to manifest what you truly desire. Work with those parts until they are aligned with the rest of yourself. Have patience until they do.
Then just go about your life and watch what magic can happen.

It worked for me!

As Always, with blessings of Aloha,
Lara

This comment came in after the first episode of my video show, UNLOC, aired on Aug. 18th 2009 :

“I watched episode one of UNLOC. You did a wonderful job. I personally wish you had spoken even more of acceptance……”


You got it!

This might be a very controversial thing to say (and if it is – GOOD! I love being controversial) but people seem to be so hung up on the need to change and heal everything….we need to heal ourselves and then we need to heal each other and then we need to heal the planet…..as if everything is wrong and sick and nothing is right and perfect just as it is.
To think this way is, to me, implying that we are not divine perfection just as we are…. that the planet is not divine perfection just as it is. I, personally, am one who believes that All That Is is perfect just as it IS, all the time.
This is absolutely crucial to understand– if you want something to change, you must first accept it exactly as it is NOW. If you want to change yourself or your life, you must first accept, with your whole being, yourself and your life exactly as it is in this moment…only then will you ALLOW change and healing to occur. The reason for this is an energetic one. Change follows acceptance because acceptance allows energy to flow freely. Non acceptance stops the free flow of energy. Change requires a lot of free flowing energy, so we are talking about simple quantum physics here.

So, I am hung up on ACCEPTANCE of what is, because I love change.

In so much gratitude for you allowing me to share my perspective,
Lara

This often-asked question came to me again recently…

Lara, do you have a meditation practice?

No, I do not have a practice, as such, that is separate from other things that I do. I used to be one of those people that could barely sit still, so getting me to sit in meditation for even 5 minutes was as challenging as getting a macho man to wear pink. I gave up even trying. It was only when I reflected on what meditation truly is, that I found the way I could reach that state in a way that worked for me. The definition of true meditation is simply to be fully present.
So I realised that whether I was driving or eating or playing with my kittens, as long as I was fully present in that moment, with that activity, and only that activity, I was in meditation. So instead of practicing meditation, I began to practice being fully present in everything I do.
According to this definition, meditation is now an intrinsic part of my day and my life, I cannot separate it from anything that I do anymore….and being fully present in all things has totally transformed my life, in every way.
As with everything, there is no right way, there is no wrong way…..you need to find the way that works for you.

With Aloha,
Lara
