Hello and welcome to the Spirit Rooms podcast,

In the Flow with Lori Albert,

Where we talk about spirituality,

Manifestation,

And how to create and live our best lives.

Welcome in.

Hello,

Hello everybody.

So much to get to as always,

Right?

So I've been listening to this recording where this guy is talking about intention setting,

Right?

So I thought,

Oh,

That's so perfect for me,

Right?

Who doesn't love the idea of hearing new ways to set intentions,

Right?

So as he is speaking on this,

He sort of drifts into the topic of staying in high vibration,

Right?

And staying in that space of love and bliss and joy,

All of that,

Staying up there,

Right?

So this is where it gets kind of wonky,

Right?

Okay.

I have to be honest.

He went into like 150 ways to stay in high vibration.

And I thought when he started,

I thought,

This is great.

New ways of staying in high vibration because I'm all about that.

You guys,

If you've ever listened to me before,

You know that,

Right?

I have to say,

Oh my gosh,

It had such a massive effect on me.

I mean,

And not in a good way,

Right?

He was saying stuff like,

Some of the stuff that made sense,

Right?

He said,

Step away from anyone in your life that is a lower vibration than you,

Right?

And I'm thinking,

Okay,

Well,

Yeah,

I mean,

I've done that,

But then what about family?

You can step back from them,

But it's one of those things,

Right?

So I just kept having these,

Well,

What ifs every time he would say something,

Right?

And then he would say,

And then he goes,

And alcohol is like the lowest vibrational thing.

And I'm thinking,

Oh man,

Like I drink wine,

You know?

And I'm thinking that,

Oh no,

You know?

And then he was like,

And this one got me,

He goes,

What about,

You know,

Staying in a high vibration?

If you're in an argument with somebody,

Just say to them,

You are right.

And oh my gosh,

At that moment,

I was like,

Oh,

I'm sorry,

I'm an Aries,

That just does not work for me.

You know?

I was like,

Whoa,

Seriously?

That's how you stay in high vibration?

And I swear to God,

There was like 20 more things that he said,

And I just kept going,

Oh my God,

Oh my God,

Really?

I have to do that?

You know?

And it messed with me,

Like it truly messed with me for like a half a day,

Because I was like,

I can't,

Wow,

You know?

I mean,

Honestly,

I was thinking I was overwhelmed,

You know?

I think I was overwhelmed by like everything he was saying,

Because it felt really,

You know,

Kind of confrontational,

You know?

And so I went down this like really strange rabbit hole,

Where I started thinking to myself,

I'm not doing any of this right.

Like,

I really thought I'm not doing any of this right.

My confidence that I have is fake,

And I am never going to be able to truly feel high vibration again,

You know?

It was really bizarre.

But then,

Check this out,

Cut forward to last night,

Okay?

So this,

That has been like the past couple of days,

And I was like thinking,

Because that's how I,

That's kind of how I roll.

When I read something,

Or I listen to something,

I'll like think about aspects of it,

You know,

For a while,

And I,

You know,

Kind of nod.

So last night,

I was getting ready for my live that I do.

I do a live thing every Thursday night,

An Insight Timer,

And since it's mediumship,

Because I give mediumship readings,

I really work hard at getting and staying in the highest vibrations.

Okay,

So and,

And I,

That's like really important for me to do,

You know,

When you're working with mediumship,

You kind of have to stay in that a place of high vibration,

Right?

So I started thinking to myself,

You know,

Just because he says that that is how he thinks we should get to a place of high vibration doesn't necessarily mean that I have to do it that way.

You know,

We are,

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

If I like my wine,

I'm going to drink my wine.

You know,

I'm not hurting anybody,

But supposedly myself.

I've never felt like I've had a problem with drinking wine.

Do you,

I mean,

As far as like my vibration goes,

You know,

I've never thought I've had a problem with that.

So you know what?

I'm gonna be,

I'm gonna do me,

You know,

I'm gonna do me,

Right?

So I put on my music.

Okay.

Now,

He,

In his defense,

He talked about,

You know,

Music,

Raising your vibration and all that stuff,

Which is fine.

But I then put on my own music and I was like,

I felt incredible.

You know,

I felt like I was,

I could feel,

Literally feel my vibration raising,

Right?

And then I started with the affirmations for courage.

Okay.

And this is how I personally get into the space of high vibration.

Okay.

Now we can't stay,

I get,

We cannot stay in high vibration all the time.

It's not humanly possible because we are again,

Spiritual beings having a human experience.

So we're experiencing all of the feelings,

Right?

But we know that we feel good when we're in high vibration,

You know?

Now here's my,

My sort of caveat here.

Some of you may agree with all of this and some of you may not.

And that's okay.

That's truly okay.

But the reality is,

Is that it is truly so,

So personalized.

It really truly is.

Okay.

So before we meditate,

I want to throw out some of the amazing affirmations that I use and some that I just,

You know,

That were given to me by spirit.

And hopefully this will bring courage to you and empower you to go into your life and honestly kick it out.

All right.

So,

All right.

So let's get into some of these affirmations because affirmations,

Man,

They're like,

They're there,

Everybody,

You know,

I shouldn't say everybody,

But a lot of people find so much comfort in these,

Right?

Okay.

So the first affirmation,

Which I love,

I am a bad ass.

I am strong and absolutely capable of whatever I put my mind to.

Boom.

I mean,

That's like,

That's like a,

That's like a,

That's one of those mic drop moments for me anyway.

I mean,

All I have to say to myself is I am a bad ass.

I so much love that,

Right?

I am strong and absolutely capable of whatever I put my mind to.

Amazing.

Right.

Okay.

So another one that you can,

You know,

Consider is in any situation I will find the positive,

Which is really pretty amazing.

Right.

In any situation I will find the positive.

Yeah.

Okay.

So another one,

I am one with the universe and its power.

Oh yeah.

Love that.

Love that.

In any situation I find the positive.

I am one with the universe and its power.

Love it.

Okay.

Next one.

And this one is,

This one is my personal one.

Actually I'm really kind of liking,

I am bad ass.

I gotta be honest.

But this,

This one is like,

Has always been my go-to.

I am courageous.

Yeah.

And I say that to myself all the time.

Laura,

You are courageous.

I say that to myself.

That's like,

I do that in like mirror work too,

You know?

Okay.

Another one is I am grateful for all the wonderful things in my life and all the lessons.

Yep,

I am grateful.

That is so high vibrational.

When you get into a place of gratitude about anything,

It could be about,

It could be about having,

You know,

Your computer,

You know,

I mean,

It could be anything,

But being in that state of gratitude is very high vibrational.

Right.

Okay.

Next one.

Love is my driving force.

Yeah.

Oh,

That's just amazing.

Right.

Because when you stay in that place of love and that is your driving force.

Yeah.

You know?

Okay.

Next one is I am enough.

I am powerful and unapologetically myself.

I mean,

Seriously,

That one actually brings tears to my eyes.

I am enough.

I mean,

That's all you really need out of that,

Right?

I am enough.

I am powerful and unapologetically myself.

And I have to tell you guys,

That one,

That one actually brings tears to my eyes too.

And I'll tell you why,

Because I struggled with that because I always thought,

Lord,

You're just weird,

You know?

And I always,

And I say this to people sometimes,

I am an acquired taste.

Right?

You either really think I'm cool or you think I am like the most oddest thing in the world.

Right?

But I am unapologetically myself.

And I have to keep saying that to myself over and over again sometimes,

You know?

Okay.

So next one is the universe has my back.

Definitely.

Right.

Next one is I believe in myself.

There is nothing I can't do as long as I try.

Oh yeah.

There is nothing I can't do as long as I try.

Oh,

Love that.

Love that.

Love that.

Okay.

Here's another one that's like,

Like a mic drop kind of,

I think.

I am brave and I am strong.

You know?

And that one,

Like I would say that to myself if I like moved,

If I was like doing something that I was really unsure about,

Like I have a couple of things coming up that I'm going to be doing that I am just really nervous about because I've never done it before.

And seriously,

This brings me so much courage.

I am brave and I am strong.

You know,

And another one that just came to me,

You know,

What's the worst that could happen?

Don't do it.

What's the worst that could happen?

I love that.

Okay.

Okay.

So another one here.

Fear has no place within me.

I release it and invite in confidence,

Power,

And resolve.

Yeah.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

Okay.

All right.

So then the last one,

And then we're going to meditate.

I trust myself and know that spirit is guiding me.

I trust myself and know that spirit is guiding me.

So here's the thing.

Did any of those speak to you?

Okay.

Or you can think of one that speaks to you on your own.

You know,

I want to meditate on this.

Okay.

So we're going to take whatever affirmation speaks to you personally.

Okay.

And we're going to use that as our mantra.

Okay.

So as I'm sitting here getting ready,

As we're getting ready to,

You know,

When we're sitting comfortably and all of that,

Pick which affirmation speaks to you today.

And you know what?

Tomorrow,

A different affirmation may speak to you.

So let's take a nice deep breath in and release it.

Perfect.

As we start to repeat the affirmation that we've chosen,

Let's just imagine that affirmation coming into our bodies and into every cell in our being.

Every cell.

Using power as the example,

I am powerful.

So as we speak that mantra,

Allow it to sink into your heart.

And into your soul.

So keep repeating the affirmation over and over again as we sit in the stillness.

Until the final piece of the prayer.

Let's start to bring ourselves back.

Release the mantra for now.

Let's take a nice deep breath in,

Breathing in all those beautiful words of encouragement for ourselves.

Breathe in.

Release.

We thank you spirit.

Thank you so much for the beautiful words of encouragement,

Love and grace.

Namaste.
