Meet Me in Sacred Space with Lori A Andrus

#109 - the 8:8 Gateway of Deep Roots, Wisdom, and Light

For months I've been dreaming about and drawing gateways.
Gateways that open space for possibility. Gateways that create space for deeper connection. Gateways that attune us to our voice of inner wisdom.
Yesterday, as I attuned to the energy of today's 8-8 Lions Gate Portal another gateway image emerged. I spent time with it, drawing it, attuning to it, inviting forward messages and insights.
Here are a couple of the highlights:
Be unapologetically expressed with love and presence.Become even more present and comfortable in the physicality of life.Allow your authentic fire to light you up.In today's episode of the Meet Me in Sacred Space Podcast I dive deeper into this conversation sharing the wisdom and messages for today's Lion's Gate Portal.

#108 - Milestones and Soul Anniversaries

This summer marks a significant milestone for both Chris and I.
10 years ago we went on a camping trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. It's a beautiful spot on the Lake Superior shoreline . . . and a spot that activated a new pathway in our lives.
At the time it was an amazing trip, it felt like something magical happened, but I'm pretty sure neither of us would have anticipated the ways that trip would shift the direction of our lives.
I think each of us have such moments and experiences where suddenly we know ourselves differently or perhaps we see life differently.
Sometimes we immediately recognize the shifts or changes they make in our lives. Other times it may take a decade to recognize the full ripple ;-)
The ripple from that trip has been profound. This summer I have found myself being called to reflect upon many experiences from that summer. A lot happened. Life changed direction.
Small steps = Big leaps.
I made small changes that year. I see now how those small changes created space for some pretty cool things.
Milestones and Soul Anniversaries are important to honor and celebrate. Chris and I have been doing this a lot this summer. It's been fun, magical, and soul nourishing.
In today's episode of the Meet Me in Sacred Space Podcast I dive deeper into this conversation sharing more about milestones, how to recognize and track them, as well as how to celebrate and honor them.

#107 - How good are you willing to feel? A Conversation with Dr. Vanessa Sage

"How good are you willing to feel?"
This is not always an easy question to answer . . . especially during times when life feels quite the opposite of good.
In a recent interview with Dr. Vanessa Sage, she shared that this is one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves at this time.
As we sank into this soulful conversation I felt this question (that I've previously heard and said many times) in a new way. Something about it landed.
I think I had previously always focused on the word good, but in that moment I felt the significance of the word feel. It reverberated throughout my body . . . reminding me to be in my body, to honor it, and to feel good within it.
Throughout our conversation, Vanessa shared how this question has been a lighthouse for her over the years. She also shared how, in a recent journey deep within, this question not only reignited her passion life, but created a deep experiential understanding of what it means to be of service and live the mystery.
This conversation is rich and deep. Join us for this week's episode of the Meet Me in Sacred Space as we sink in further.
Here are a couple things you can expect in this episode:
Why this question is one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves at this time.
How this question plants a very needed seed of hope.
The value of turning how we really feel.
The power of pivoting and integrating change on the sacred path and in our business.
What service really means.
Living and understanding the mystery.
Giving self permission to speak boldly . . . to be both fierce and gentle.

#106 - Wisdom and Insight from a Maple Tree

This past week was busy. Very busy. I found myself immersed in both expected and unexpected projects while trying to gracefully navigate the mixed emotions that popped up along the way.
That was not always easy.
One of the unexpected bits that happened last week was that we had to have a tree taken down. Letting it go was emotional for me.
As I leaned into the emotions, I found myself called to journey and connect with the tree in that way. It was powerful. The tree had a lot to share. The surrounding plants had a lot to share. Spirit had a lot to share. And the process of having that tree removed, with reverence, unfolded in magical ways (I share more of this story in this week's podcast episode).
Our relationship with nature is important. It is a point of connection to the rhythm of life, to our inner worlds, and to Spirit.
In this week's episode of the Meet Me in Sacred Space I sink deeper into some of the wisdom my maple tree shared along with the experiences I had in navigating my emotions around saying goodbye to this tree.
Here are a couple things you can expect in this episode:
Leaning into our emotions, allowing them to flow, be felt, and to be expressed in meaningful ways.
Another message from Black Tourmaline for the month of May.
Creating space for Spirit to create magic and bring things together in ways we could not otherwise see as possible.
How to be fully present with all that we feel and channeling those feelings into creative expression.
The importance of reverence in our relationship with nature.
And an invitation to join me for my upcoming 11-day Into the Forest Journey.

#102 - Into the Forest I Must Go . . .

Happy Beltane!
Today we officially arrive at the midpoint of the Spring Season.
This is such a sweet time. It's the time in which we really begin to see and feel the awakening and renewal that comes with the spring season.
Between yesterday's new moon, the partial solar eclipse, and today's season midpoint, this is a great time to get outside and spend some quality time in nature.
Over the past week Koda and I did just that. We went camping. The weather was a bit chilly, but the camper was cozy. The trails were dry and the beach was empty and it felt like we had the entire park to ourselves. We roamed the forest listening to the spring peepers, watching the birds begin to nest, and Koda lit up when I gave her a bit of off leash play time . . . she even went for a dip in Lake Michigan.
This little getaway was just the soul food I was needing.
Life get's busy. During busy times it can feel difficult to step back for a little nature time. The thing is, taking restorative time is exactly what helps us return to ourselves so that we can be fully present in our day to day lives.
This week's episode of Meet Me in Sacred Space takes us into the forest. Join me.
