This week, I put together a playlist to share with my dance community. It came together pretty easily. Most of the songs remind me of club dance songs, which is not my normal style. But, hey, it is the summer and it feels like we should all be in Ibiza with some good Latin music on our lips and cool dance moves on our hips.
I listened to the playlist earlier today and realized I was struck by the only country and western song on the list; “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack. I was surprised by how much emotion came up for me when Lee Ann sang the line, “And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.”
I immediately tried to determine what the reason for the emotion was. I believe I need to clear all the times when I did not take opportunities for growth or didn’t fully lean into a situation. Perhaps I allowed fear to cause me to choose the safer option. I started to clear any discordant emotions regarding this and the false beliefs that someone else held me back from living fully and passionately.
I can see the larger mirror for the Experiment in Duality. I realize that the lyrics are giving me the nudge to truly release all the angst and false beliefs that I have held for all the actions and inactions I have taken in the Experiment. It is also giving me the reminder to truly be joyful about volunteering for the experiment in the first place. I can feel the shift of looking at the experiment as wonderful, not just a “wonderful opportunity” but sincerely as just a wonderful experience to the point that I can’t wait to see what crazy thing I am willing to join after our Ascension. I don’t want to sit anything out. I want to dance.
Here are the lyrics for the song and the link for the YouTube video. May you find inspiration in this song, too.
Namaste,
I AM

“I Hope You Dance”, Song by Lee Ann Womack, Songwriters: Mark Daniel Sanders, Tia M. Sillers.
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake, but it’s worth makin’
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin’ out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion)
I hope you dance (always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I hope you dance (and wonder where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance, I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion)
I hope you dance (always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years)
I hope you dance (and wonder where those years have gone)
Tell me who wants to look back on their years (dance)
And wonder where those years have gone (dance)

Slowing down, being patient and honoring divine timing has been coming up for me recently. Needs and desires for accomplishment, even spiritual accomplishment, keeps us in a state of unease and unrest. I was guided to revisit a blog post by Marsha Hankins, Stay Present and Reverent in the Moment, in which she quotes a beautiful passage by Thich Nhat Hanh that speaks to me deeply. I share this quote with you here:
The ability to be fully present and reverent in each moment is a skill every spiritual master practices. To quote the beloved Master Hanh:
“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves- slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.”
Do not get caught in the illusion of what is important or in the fear of what might happen. Do not give your power to the structure by which others live their lives. Instead, drink your tea slowly and know the importance of who you are in each moment. Be reverent in every thought and deed. Trust in the divine plan and let reverence be your focus this week, this month, this year.

I have been working with healing imposter energy lately. I have been feeling like an imposter because I haven’t healed 100% of my issues yet, even though I know how because of working the I AM SOURCE™ and Standing in the Light® process for over 24 years. I have written countless blogs, healing circle introductions and teachings for gatherings, and yet I still am working to heal myself. Some of you may feel the same way. How can I be a role model as a teacher / healer when I haven’t healed myself yet? Maybe you also feel the same way about your own Mastery, in general.
The fact of the matter is, if we all waited to be 100% healed, no books would be written, no seminars nor classes would ever be taught. Remember that our first priority is our own evolution, but it is through our second priority, through our service that we learn what we still need to heal for our evolution – our number one priority. Thus, it is through the books, blog entries, healing circles, and classes that most of us teacher / healers will find our mirrors and our triggers to help us evolve.
What I discovered, as I was preparing this blog post, is that the true imposter energy that I need to heal is that I am human in the experiment of duality; that is my true imposter. My authentic self, the essence of who I am, is Source, is the Universal Energy. Look at the image accompanying this blog post. The human reveals their true self as the universe that we see when the human opens their shirt. We see the authentic self when Clark Kent takes off his journalist jacket to reveal his Superman self. We show our authentic self when we tap into ourselves as Source and heal the imposter self / the lower self ego that believes the story we tell ourselves in the Illusion of the third dimensional world. We show our authentic self when we admit that we have more to heal on our journey through the illusion.
Yes, let’s heal the imposter energy. But that isn’t you as an imposter of a teacher / healer or master. Heal the imposter energy that I believe I am not Source. Remember yourself as the true master, the true essence of yourself as Source. Everything else is simply a character you are playing in the game of the experiment in duality.

Who am I as Love? I’ve worked with this question in the past and it has recently come up for me to revisit. In Standing in the Light®, we work with resonances through our intention, specific frequencies of being such as Love, Wisdom, Power and Peace to help us remember who we truly are. These are feeling states, reminding us how it feels to be all the flavors of the rainbow that is Source. Asking this question helps me to envision and understand these feeling states in action in my everyday life. If I were experiencing myself as the living embodiment of Love, what would I do? What would I say? What choices would I make? How would I feel?
You can pose this question to yourself for any resonance you’re guided to work with. What would Peace choose in this moment? How would Compassion respond in this situation? What does Wisdom know about this experience? And so on.
Working with this exercise helps me reach a deeper experience of full, living mastery- fully conscious embodiment as Source in motion. It can become part of your practice as a reminder of who you are in every action you take. Who are you as Love?

Have you ever become obsessed with a book, movie or TV series? When that happens to me, it usually means that I have some mirrors to clear and my soul knows that this will be an enjoyable way for me to get the messages. To clear these issues, I usually focus on the general clearing statements from Standing in the Light® classes. Because of my recent book reading list, I heard to expand the section that deals with vows, contracts, agreements, curses, hexes, spells and anything of similar intent. I heard to expand it to include Enthralled, Enchanted and Bewitched. All three of these words have very similar meanings – completely fascinated, captivated or charmed often to the point of being spellbound or transported. Books, movies and TV shows definitely can make me feel spellbound or transported, maybe even transported to different “Lived Experience” than the one I am currently having.
When this happens, I ask to know the mirrors that I see in these stories as I would if something was happening to me in my personal life. Because of the Experiment in Duality and the Illusion of a 3D reality, the stories I read really are not any different than the stories I see in my Lower Self Ego’s life stream. If false beliefs and emotions trigger me in a story, I should ask to clear it, as I would any other situation.
If the clearing for a particular story goes on for a while, I am then guided to clear the energies that are binding me to the story. Thus, I heard to clear the energies of being enthralled, enchanted and bewitched by the fascinations these stories put forward.
Last night, at the Eminent Reiki™ and Standing in the Light® Joint Sunday Night Healing Circle, we discussed the topic of clearing/healing vows, etc. We asked if anyone else had been guided to add additional energies to their clearing statements, besides the general clearing of vows and contracts. Here is a list of some of the teleconference participants’ ideas.
- Treaties
- Alliances
- Promises
- Declarations
- Allegiances
- Codes
- Statutes
- Laws
- Regulations
- Pledges
- Swears
- Oaths
- Fealty
- And the energy of “undying” or “never ending” that we may have put in front of all these energies.
Also in the Sunday Night Healing Circle, it was suggested we clear trauma for holding all these energies and the trauma for holding ourselves and others to these energies. Others suggested we look at clearing the false beliefs and prejudices that might be raised by these energies. For example, if we have vows to believe one gender or one race is better than another, we should clear it. If we are stuck about clearing these energies, it was suggested to look at our ability, readiness or willingness to clear these energies.
In theory, none of these energies is any harder to clear and heal than any other. However, in practice, we may not have worked with these before or we may have blocked or hidden these energies from ourselves, so it might feel like it is harder. Ask your soul, what needs to come to your conscious awareness and clear it. If nothing needs to come to your conscious awareness, ask if there is a specific energy that will clear the topic – Reiki, Magnified Healing® or Pure Light.
Play around with these new topics and see if you are guided to any others. Your diligence and your intention will be life changing!
Namaste.
I AM LORI

Do you have faith in the experiment? This question came to me recently from my soul, and I realized the answer was, “Not completely.” This question was not about allowing myself to be attached to the Experiment in Duality or giving my power away to something I believe is outside myself. This question is helping me get clarity on my false beliefs about the experiment and my lack of faith in the creators of the experiment- all of us. We collectively set our intentions for the experiment, created the amazing structure of the experiment and designed how we perceive the illusions of the experiment. If I don’t trust my experiences as part of the experiment, then I don’t trust in myself or all beings as Source.
As masterful creators, everything we have set up as the Experiment is in divine perfection. It is beautifully designed for the function we intended, even if we don’t like what we see or feel. It has all the elements we need for the learning and expansion we’ve chosen and it is also structured to help us remember who we are and come back into oneness when we are ready. Even in breakdown, it is functioning perfectly.
We hold the consciousness of the Experiment in Duality within each of us. It’s an illusion that anything is “out there”. If we are judging or blaming the experiment for what we don’t like, we are judging and blaming ourselves as Source. When we are ready to transcend the experiment reality, we have only to let it go completely. There is no other place to go to get away from it or leave it behind.
Take a few moments in meditation to connect with the consciousness of the experiment’s creation and our collective intentions at its inception. Ask the question: What do I need to remember about my intentions for the Experiment in Duality to take my next steps forward?
