How do we prime ourselves for "miracles" and "manifestations" to occur in our lives?

No Place Like Home

Sometimes there’s no place like home. This week Laura dives into her years long battle with constant uprooting, and the nervous system work of facing the emotional storms that continue to plague us from our original homes, and how to win the war against Airbnb, and the family of cockroaches inhabiting your rental.

Creative Hero

What's the difference between manifestation, delusion, fantasy and disassociation? Who knows! These are very thin lines, folks.  This week we’re talking about creativity, or disassociation, depending how you look at it. And how it might just be the last thing that saves us from the nightmarish daily news cycle we're currently living in. Laura takes us on a journey through the past, how she resorted to fantasy to escape and uproot to London with a TV show, and how using creativity as a means of disassociation to escape a traumatic upbringing isn't always the best advice. We explore the value of our attention, and what we give it to. As well as tried and tested methods of harnessing our everyday creativity into something that brings us into greater commune with the divine. Got a W.I.P. question?
