Hello and welcome into In the Flow with Lori Albert.
So as I am speaking to you,
It is July 28th of 22 and it is a new moon.
Yay!
Right?
What does that mean?
Well,
We're going to get into that in a few minutes.
However,
What's cool is that I am actually,
It's happening right at this moment.
So it's actually really cool.
So anyway,
There's a lot of really cool stuff that I want to share with you about the new moon.
And I'm going to get into that in a minute,
But I have an incredibly insightful story that directly relates to the energy surrounding the new moon.
And this is,
This just makes,
It gives me chills just thinking about it,
Right?
There are no accidents,
Right?
That is kind of one of the morals of the story I'm about to tell you.
Okay.
So for full context,
I want to share something kind of personal,
Okay?
When my mother was about to cross in 2018,
I was really kind of,
There were,
Obviously,
I mean,
If anybody's ever been through this,
You know that there's like a period of time when you're kind of just sort of waiting for the call,
You know?
She lived in Pennsylvania.
I was in California.
I was kind of waiting for that call to come now kind of thing,
Right?
So there was one day and it wasn't,
I hadn't received any messages or calls or anything.
So I went and I did some grocery shopping,
Had errands to do,
Right?
And I was about to get out of my car at the grocery store and a very large crow,
Like swooped in front of me and like sat there.
And it like really,
Really,
Really got my attention.
I was like,
Whoa.
You know,
And I knew at the time that there was some sort of spiritual significance to it,
But I didn't quite get it until later.
Right.
So I got home and I got that call that I had been sort of waiting for and crazy,
Right?
This was only like a little bit later.
Right.
And then she passed away that night.
Okay.
Really interesting.
Right.
And I had in my head,
I had it in my head that,
You know,
Anytime you have anything going on with crows,
It's going to be bad news and death and blah,
Blah,
Blah.
You know,
I didn't just as an aside,
I didn't actually make it on time for her crossing,
But I'm really blessed because she's with me every day all the time.
So I kind of just wanted to share that part with you anyway.
So once I did the research on the crow thing,
It became clear what it meant.
Now fast forward to the time of the new moon.
Okay.
So this morning I actually got to sleep in a little bit,
Which was great.
And I was feeling good.
And I woke up and walked out to get some coffee.
And my husband had just come in from taking a walk and he goes,
Oh,
So just so you know,
There's an injured crow at the front door.
And even just retelling the story right now,
It kind of takes me back to that moment of like,
Oh my God,
Oh my God,
Oh my God,
Oh my God,
Like nobody's sick.
Oh my God,
Everybody just stay still.
Nobody leave.
You know,
I was like really panicking and I was actually kind of shaking about it.
Right.
All I could think of was,
Oh my God,
It's another death omen.
What am I,
Oh my God.
Right.
I was petrified.
I was absolutely petrified.
And like I just said,
I really literally,
And I don't take that term lightly,
Started shaking.
Now,
Obviously that might freak anybody out,
But then I started thinking,
Okay,
Here's the thing.
The crow is not dead.
Good side.
Okay.
So then I started thinking I should do some research and meditate on the spiritual meaning of this.
Really,
Laurie?
I should know this by now before I react,
But you know,
I mean,
It's not every day you have an injured crow at your front door.
So bottom line is after researching and meditating on it,
I started to think about my own spirituality and I have been noticing some spiritual shifts lately.
Okay.
In a good way.
Okay.
So apparently what I've got from my guides is that this crow represents for me a significant uptick of my spiritual gifts,
As well as a shifting for me in terms of my spirituality.
So this feels,
Now it does,
Anyway,
Feels like a total validation of what I already knew was happening in my life.
Now isn't that cool?
I don't know.
I just think that's actually really cool.
So and thank you to the,
You know,
To my spirit guides for making that really clear.
So it,
And here's the interesting part about this whole thing is it relates to what happens during a new moon.
Don't you just love spiritual synchronicity?
I mean,
It's amazing.
Okay.
So now let's talk about the connection of our spirituality and the new moon.
Okay.
The new moon,
Which regardless if you're listening to this two days later,
Whatever,
Or even next month,
Right?
New moons are a time of newness,
Surprise,
Surprise,
But spiritual shifts are actually more prevalent during a new moon,
Right?
And so now is such a great time to release that old stale stagnant energy and create positive,
Uplifting things and intentions in your life.
It's a fantastic time for manifestation.
Yay.
Now,
Go grab your clear quartz or your moon stone and let's get creating,
You know,
Let's create some new things for our lives.
Okay.
I hope everybody has their clear quartz with them because that is an energy enhancer.
Just so you know,
As well as moon stone,
You know.
So now as we start creating,
Let's begin to think of an area of our lives where we might want to shift the energy of something.
Okay.
It doesn't have to be shifting from a negative place to a positive place.
It could just be an aspect where you just want to change things.
You know,
It just feels like it's done and you want to move on with something.
Okay.
It's an aspect of your life where you just want it.
Maybe you want to intensify things.
Okay.
Or sort of step up.
So for me,
Honestly,
And I think this is the area of my life where the crow comes in and plays a significant role is my spiritual business.
I feel like I'm ready to level up as they say.
And it seems like as I talk about creating an intention on accelerating my business,
I realize that I want and need,
I guess,
To release any fear surrounding what a successful future could look like of my business.
Okay.
So I hope that makes sense.
That's just me.
Okay.
Now for you,
Once you choose an area of your life to focus on,
Like I just did,
Is it about leveling up?
Is it about upping your health game or your fitness?
Is it about a relationship or your career?
Or even just something that you want to do like gardening?
You know,
Like,
I've been thinking about gardening.
You know what?
Get into gardening.
Now's the time,
You know?
Okay.
So then at this point,
Try focusing on what you would like to see happen in that area of your life.
Do you see yourself leveling up or shifting?
What is it that you feel like?
Okay.
So the goal here is finding the area of your life and then figuring out what you want,
You know,
Creating,
Creating the intention,
What you want.
Okay.
What feels good and right about that area of your life or that,
You know,
That thing that you want to level up in,
Let's just say.
Use your gut instinct or your intuition to figure out where to focus your new intention.
It has to feel right to you in order for it to be the correct one.
Now,
As we consider leveling up or shifting,
Whatever it is that you want out of this intention,
Consider what aspect of the old you,
You would like,
Or you know you need to shift or needs to be released in order for this intention to come to fruition.
Okay.
So for example,
As I mentioned earlier,
I really think for me,
It's about releasing fear.
You know,
Just getting out of my mind,
Completely out of my mind.
Okay.
So then I would be releasing the fear and allowing in possibility.
Oh God.
Now that gives me chills in a good way.
You know,
I love that affirmation.
It's just so awesome.
Today I release fear from my being and allow in pure positivity.
That is some kind of affirmation.
It's pretty awesome.
So you can see how I created that for me based on my own understanding of what stops me regarding this intention.
Okay.
So now that you have what you,
You know,
Hopefully as I'm speaking,
Maybe you've created an intention and maybe you're considering what it is that you need to release to make that intention your reality.
What is your affirmation?
What is it?
I mean,
You can take mine.
Please take mine.
Cause I love it.
It's great.
It's very empowering.
Today I release fear from my being and allow in pure possibility.
Love that.
Right.
Okay.
So we are going to meditate on this.
Yay.
All right.
So like I said,
For me,
The affirmation and the intention is all rolled into one.
Today I release fear from my being and allow in pure possibility.
Okay.
That is my affirmation.
Now once you get your affirmation,
Releasing something and then allowing in something else,
You know,
And it could just be just negativity just in general.
I mean,
It doesn't have to be a big dramatic releasing fear.
You know,
For me,
That's what it is.
Okay.
So get it,
Whatever it is for you.
Create your affirmation.
Okay.
And now we're going to meditate on this.
So let's close our eyes and let's take a few really good deep breaths in.
Breathe in possibility and release.
Ah,
Releasing fear and stress and negativity.
Release whatever it is that you feel needs to get out of your way.
Beautiful.
And now as we sit in the stillness,
I invite you to repeat the affirmation that you have created for yourself over and over as we sit in the stillness.
And maybe if you feel like adding an extra little oomph to it,
As you're repeating this in your mind,
Your mantra,
Your affirmation,
Put a smile on your face.
I know it might feel a little forced,
But smile as you're thinking this.
You'll see what that can do for you as well.
So let's sit in the stillness for just a few minutes as we repeat our affirmation.
And now we'll move on now.
So let's take another nice deep breath in through your nose.
And release it through your mouth.
You can release the smile if you'd like.
Thank you so much Spirit for the opportunity to create new things for our lives.
We thank you Spirit for the ability to find fulfillment and satisfaction and happiness in our lives.
Namaste.
