Remember,
remember, remember ...
with this we shall create peace.
The Infinite Light Healing Studies
Center (Infinite Light) was born from a childhood experience.
During my seventh year
of life, while on summer vacation with my family, I was playing
in the Atlantic Ocean in Florida. I was pushed under the
water by a wave, and was held under for what seemed to be
eternity. Just as I began to panic, a strong male voice,
which I heard clairaudiently, “inspired” me to
breathe very gently and not draw the water into my lungs,
but to simply “ask” the oxygen in the water to
help me breathe. I did exactly that, and immediately became
calm and peaceful, floating what in what seemed to be an
ocean of light.
From within this luminous sea I saw a great light growing
clearer and stronger, and from this light a form appeared.
I recognized this form to be Jesus, and he was surrounded
by many spiritual beings, including Medicine Buddha, Mother
Mary and Kwan Yin.
As the light of Christ appeared clearer to me, from his
heart area a bubble of light appeared. It was beautiful,
shimmering and iridescent. The bubble dissolved, slowly and
from it emerged a beautiful, symbolic, representation of
the Christed Consciousness, the essence of enlightenment,
and I heard . . .
"Laurelle, remember, remember, remember.
With this together we shall create peace".
In that moment, I found myself standing up, unharmed and
very happy to be alive. I was also a bit bewildered because
my name at birth was Laura Ellen, yet the name Laurelle stirred
a remembrance deep within my being.
A year later, when I was 8 years old I decided it was time
to become a responsible person, and I thought, responsible
people need a plan for their lives. So I began to wonder
what I should do with my life.
"Coincidentally" my
grandmother had recently given me a Bible. She said, "Honey,
if you ever have any questions about life, all the answers
are in this book". I thought this was wonderful, I would
just look in the Bible, find my name, and learn what I would
do when I grew up. Much to my dismay I did not find my name.
As I diligently searched the Bible for the answer to
my question I became mesmerized by the stories of
Jesus doing
healing.
I proudly announced to my family that "When I grow
up I am going to travel around the world, and help heal
people,
and teach them that they can do this to". Oops...wrong
thing to say. The response was, "That's very nice
honey, but you can't do that, only Jesus can." "Oh
no" I
said confidently, "It says right here (in John)
these things I do you can do and even greater." The
response I received was, "I know that's what it
says, but that's not what it means".
So for various reasons, I allowed my inner knowing of
my life's purpose to be blocked when I was just 8 years
old.
But not before I had a little conversation with God.
I said "God,
I really want to help people like Jesus did, they say I can't,
but the Bible says I can. So I guess if I am supposed to
do this you'll figure it out and show me someday".
That prayer was completely released and forgotten,
but looking back, I was guided from that moment on.
I was
guided through
good times and tough times. Sometimes I made the
easy choice, and sometimes I made harder ones. But
somehow,
God helped
me find my way to live the answer to the prayer of
an 8 year old with a dream.
I didn't think much of those childhood experiences
for many years. However, powerful events in my
life unfolded
to teach
me of energy, and the fact that we are all spiritual
beings capable of radiating the full power of Divine
healing love, and that we are truly limitless.
In 1994, Utumei “ the symbolic representation of the
Christed Consciousness returned and I began to receive light
and energetic messages containing certain vibrations and
information. One of the messages said that these were “transmissions
of Infinite Light".
I timidly began to share this information, as I was guided,
with people who I knew to be experienced with healing energies,
prayer and the power of positive thought. These transmissions
ultimately became part of the teachings we share through
the Infinite Light Healing Studies Center.
To my humble and utter amazement, every person who allowed
the essence of the transmissions into their personal lives,
or their healing work, reported beautiful experiences of
healing, spiritual growth and empowerment.
Many found, that
after exposure and integration of these energies, they
became keenly aware of their personal “calling” in
life. They awakened to their latent abilities as artists,
musicians, composers, healers, effective parents, inspirational
speakers, etc. Simply by allowing their own Infinite Light
to awaken, people are remembering their purpose.
It is from these experiences that the training programs,
services, and products that I share through the Infinite
Light Healing Studies Center have grown. For the past 16
years we have been helping people learn to heal themselves,
and I have traveled around the world teaching systems of
Spiritual Healing.
Today I live
in Sedona, Arizona, one of the most magnificently beautiful
and sacred places on the
earth. I thank God for the many blessings and for the Divine
Guidance I receive in my life every single day.
It is my sincere prayer that those who feel a heart connection
to Infinite Light, will allow it into their lives, and that
it assists them in awakening, remembering, fully expressing
and BEing their Divinity.
