Friends

Who loves you? Sometimes we have to put aside pride, ego and vanity and listen to the people who love us! If you are like me, setting that aside can be hard BUT when I actually do listen and become vulnerable, letting friends in is exactly what the doctor ordered!

It's Lori,

And welcome to In the Flow with Lori Albert.

I appreciate you guys being with me today.

Thank you all for joining in.

Yay!

We're going to talk for just a minute,

And then we're going to meditate.

First,

We are going to pull an Archangel Michael card.

I like to pull these,

Pull a card just for a general message.

Archangel Michael is so special and has been so huge in my life,

For so,

So long,

As long as I've been doing the work of spirits.

So it's really kind of cool.

So what I'm going to do is,

Pick a card,

Any card.

So here's the card for Archangel Michael today.

This is a message for us all.

I will give advice on card decks.

I will.

I love.

You know what?

The Archangel Michael,

Archangel Michael is so amazing because he transcends just one sort of religion.

And that's what I love about Archangel Michael.

That's so cool.

Anyway,

Let me read the card.

Okay.

The card is shield yourself.

And here is the prayer.

There's a prayer at the bottom,

And it's just,

It just,

Well,

Anyway,

Let me just read it.

Archangel Michael,

I ask that you protect me,

My loved ones,

My vehicle,

And my home with your powerful shield.

Surround us in your purple light,

Which allows only pure love to penetrate.

I love that.

It just melts me.

Okay.

Anyway,

And then he goes on to say,

Please stay with me day and night and keep my loved ones safe.

That just like melts me.

I'm going to like post that card later.

That is so cool.

I just love that.

I love him.

You know,

It's like,

He's like my rock,

You know?

So okay.

So the reason why I'm,

I might,

I don't know,

I feel like I'm acting a little weird today,

But the reason is I'm just,

I'm not,

It's not that I'm not feeling well,

But something is like a miss energetically.

And yeah.

And so yesterday wasn't the best day.

You know,

I had some stuff going on like physically because you guys know I'm struggling with arthritis and stuff and trying to get better and all this stuff.

But some days I have,

You know,

Sort of setbacks,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah,

Whatever.

I don't,

I don't like to talk about all that because it's blah,

You know,

The more energy you give the negative stuff,

You know,

The worse it'll be.

So I try not to talk about it too much,

But I like to tell you guys what's going on.

Anyway.

Oh my God.

Okay.

So I realized yesterday,

It's not that I didn't know this,

But sometimes you just need sort of a punch in the face from your friends.

You know,

I needed to sit.

I needed to just spend some time with just me,

Just doing for me and really interesting because it was kind of like,

You know,

That like virtual slap in the face,

You know?

So I needed my friends.

My girlfriend,

It was like,

Lori,

Just relax,

Go spend some time with yourself,

Go take a bath,

Go do what you need to do for you.

And I was like,

Oh,

That's exactly what I needed to do.

And it's so funny because when you allow yourself and even with my besties,

I don't even sort of allow myself to really be vulnerable,

You know,

Because I don't know if that's how I was raised or what,

You know,

But I don't allow myself to be incredibly vulnerable.

So I did yesterday and you know what?

Sometimes we need to push our pride,

Our vanity,

Our ego to the side and just allow the love in.

Gosh,

It's so it's right there for the taking from the people that love us.

So anyway,

So I got to spend some time by myself and just relax and just be with myself and feel the love,

You know?

Anyway,

So I did that.

This morning,

I'm just feeling,

I'm not feeling weepy per se,

But I'm feeling like,

You know,

So today,

I want to meditate on this and I want to meditate for us all to be able to feel the love within ourselves.

Feel the love that because it's it emanates within us.

It comes.

It starts in here.

And we have to allow that in.

Right?

We have to allow the love in and let it percolate and let it be in.

So yeah,

So my friends on Facebook and Instagram,

I love you all.

Thanks for being here.

Always for me,

Monica,

I appreciate you.

All of my friends,

All of my friends.

I just love you guys.

And you know what?

We need to be there for each other.

So thank you to all of you watching right now live watching later.

I appreciate you all.

So let's get going with meditation.

Today.

Today is a meditation,

Right?

Okay.

So let's get ourselves comfortable.

Oh,

And let's take a nice deep breath in.

And release.

Awesome.

Feels good just to do that,

Right?

So,

Considering everything I just talked about,

I want us all to focus on a little bit of the love.

So what are a few things that you are grateful for?

Let's raise our vibration.

Let's get our vibration a little bit higher.

What are you grateful for today?

The perfect thing to help us raise that vibration is to concentrate on the things that are great in our lives.

We all have crappy things that are going on.

Why focus on that?

Let's focus on the happy things.

What are a few happy things that are going on in your life?

Who are a few of the people in your life that make your life just that little bit better?

Who are a few people in your life that make your life better?

Who can you be vulnerable with?

Who can you be totally yourself with?

Who can you set aside your ego with?

So,

Our mantra for today.

Our mantra for today is,

Ayim Nama.

And what that means is,

My true nature is love and joy.

My true nature is love and joy.

Ayim Nama.

It's perfectly fitting considering everything we just talked about,

Right?

Ayim Nama.

Let's get ourselves comfortable.

And know that if we lose the mantra,

Or whatever,

Or if you have thoughts,

Just gently push them aside and come back to Ayim Nama.

My true nature is love and joy.

So I will keep the time and let's begin.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Ayim Nama.

Let's start bringing our awareness back to the chair we're sitting in.

Ayim Nama.

My true nature is love and joy.

Let's take a really nice deep breath in.

And release.

Perfect.

I hope that felt good for you all.

Again,

It's one of those days where I could have kept going for another half hour.

So yeah,

So take that with you today.

Take with you today the fact that there are people in your life that are there for you.

There for you to be vulnerable.

Right?

Know that there is a lot of people out there who love you.

So thank you so much for joining today.

I love you all so much.

And until next time,

Namaste.
