Laura West:

Hi everyone. People are coming into the room. Fantastic. Tell us where you’re from. Say hi in the comments I’m gonna wait a minute before we get started Great. Keep coming, keep coming. Say hello. Fantastic, more of you are coming in. Say hi in the comments, tell us where you’re from. And I’m also always curious to know if people have been with me before in past live channel messages, or if this is your first time. Let me know. So exciting. I’m not sure if my Wi-Fi has a lag or you guys are all just not chatty today. There we go, here it comes.

Hi, first time, great. I’ll tell you the spiel in a minute about what we do. Midwest, hi. Hello, Johnny, so nice to see you all. That was my computer lagging. Wonderful, and thank you for the hearts. You know I love them. They fill my cup. It’s so wonderful. You guys are great. I’m just gonna wait another minute for a few more people to come in. Nice, Lisa. I’m grateful to be here too. Yes, always fantastic.

Okay, so here I’m gonna start now, and more people are sure to come in. That always is the case here on our little platform in our little rooms. So hi, welcome, and you may know if you’re here again with me from a prior time, welcome back, and if you’re here for the first time, welcome. My name is Laura West. I am a Reiki Master Teacher and a psychic medium and a channel for the Divine. You’re in my holistic healing office with me today in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I am just outside Harvard Square, and I do not pock my ka and have a dyad because I do not have an accent. I grew up on The cape with the bicep. I’m even wearing my little Cape Cod medallion.

But anyway, I have been doing this work with clients for almost 20 years now, and I started about 15 years ago, 18 years ago, channeling the Council of Light. They are a group of Divine Light Beings. They come through my voice box. I close my eyes and then they speak to you all. They are a part of my life. They’re a part of my everyday living. They’re a part of my Circumference and rubric of how to get through the world. They give me downloads, they tell me what to do, they’re an anchor for me from Source and Divine frequency. And I choose to come here and give free monthly Council of Light channel messages because I adore getting to do what I do for my work and being this way in my life.

These skills that I have, I did not know when I was little I had them. I did have them, but I didn’t know what They were, and I didn’t have anything cultivated officially until I was an adult and I had some training. So it’s just a wonderment to me that I get to share Divine messaging with the public at large, and I choose to do it here. I’ve been here in this community since 2009, and I’m a regular meditator and a regular spiritual connectedness kind of person with a lot of anchors in that groundedness of the ethos of that’s how the world works. And it is my absolute pleasure to then Turn right back around and share that with others.

So here’s how this is going to work today. I am going to close my eyes. The Council of Light are going to speak through me. I am not going into a trance. I used to when I first did this, and I would have to listen back to the recording, but I am doing this now with a psychic muscle of my own that is rubricated and refined and very strong, and I can just drop in and channel them wherever— at the movie theater, At the grocery store, at the gas station, but I don’t because people have ethical boundaries. When you go to the grocery store, you don’t always want a strange lady tapping you on the shoulder and saying, hi, the Divine wants to say something to you. So I’ve turned it into a client practice instead.

Anyway, so I’m going to close my eyes, they’re going to chat, they’re going to talk to you, and then in about 20 minutes or so, I’m going to open my eyes again and we’ll re— we’ll do a little bit of a debrief and we’ll go from there. All right, and I love your hearts. Oh, and one more thing, I always forget to say this part. If you’d like to leave a monetary donation, that would be welcomed. It’s not something that I expect or need, but it is a way for us to share our gratitude with each other here in this arena. So I know that I always try and throw some here and there whenever I can with people that I’m aligned with and feel like I have gratitude for. So that’s always welcome as well.

All right, so let’s get started. You guys can close your eyes too if you want. I’m gonna just sit here with my eyes closed and talk to you. I look pretty boring on camera. But you can lay down, you can look out the window. Hopefully you’re not like multitasking and trying to be spiritual with me and like do all the things of the house. If you are, you’re a miracle. Anyway, here we go. Ready?

Council of Light:

Greetings to you all, you bright blessed beings there on that Earth plane. We are the Council of Light and we are here once again to say hello and how do you do. We have messaging that is sweet and short here for you. We like to talk to you as humans because you have a wonderful pickle. It is called your brain and your mental emotional state. You have a wonderful pickle that is called your cognizance and your cerebralness and your emotional stability and your sacredness. You have so many different parts of you that make up a pie And the slices are all of the different parts of your life that create you as you.

You have your emotional space, your mental space, your cerebral space, your etheric energy space, your sacred space, your dream space, your plentiful, bountiful, wanting, wishing space. You also have your negative space, your sad space, your angry space, your incoherent space. Your cognizance of disgruntledness space, and it’s all wonderful and it’s all you.

For when you come into this Earth plane as humans, none of you say to yourselves, let’s just go down there and figure it out. I have everything aligned from A to Z, and I know exactly what I’m doing, and I know exactly how to get it, and I know exactly what I want. Because when you do that, if you said that before becoming human, You wouldn’t have a life to live. You would already know everything ahead of time and it wouldn’t be able to be discovered, learned, grown, joy-filled, hardship-ed, and the like. When you come as humans to incarnate on the Earth plane, you come not knowing what your lessons are, and some of you have practiced them over and over and over again.

You come through lifetime after lifetime after lifetime and you repeat the same experiences until you’re finally ready to move your needle. And then there are others of you who come in the lifetimes that you’re in now and you decide to maximize, alchemize, alpha-atize, and you move your needles very quickly, very fast, learning lessons once.

There is no right and there is no wrong. When you come here to learn lessons, all you can do is turn them into a song, a song of joy, hardship, positivity, coherence, Frustration, moving the needle. It’s a mixed bag, you see, because lessons learned come happily, joyfully, scarededly, tearfully, hardly.

They are both yin and yang, both light and dark, and when you take them apart and you say, what can I learn from this now? This is hard for me, or What can I learn from this now? This is joyful for me. The outcome can be the same. You might have an awareness in and through and above and around and true through the hardness, and you might have an awareness in and above and around and through and true the joyfulness. The hardness is oftentimes the juicier lesson to learn.

Joyfulness is wonderful, Loving kindness is wonderful, balance and harmony is wonderful, but it’s not oftentimes where you grow the most. You can, but when you’re in joy, when you’re in harmony, when you’re balanced, there’s not much to learn. Your homeostasis is set At pure, true, ethical, clean through and through. So when your learning comes through hardship or disgruntledness or disparity or lack or pain or suffering or sorrow, you can very quickly move your needle and learn through it to grow to it, to acclimatize, to somatize, and to move your needle.

This is often the case for many of you, and in human terms, you don’t want to get stuck in the pain, stuck in the turmoil, stuck in the negativity, stuck in the angst. You want to look at it and say, what is this teaching me? Where do I want something that is opposite of this? How do I want to move my needle so that I can feel coherent and clear?

Laura West:

I just moved all the recording stuff with my hand. Hang on one second, I got one more to do. Throw me some hearts, guys, come on! I’m working here. Okay, thank you, thank you for the hearts. Okay, so I’m set up in a technology stream and my hand just came up underneath the lip of the computer and then I had something else behind it that fell. I’m back on track. I love you all. This is me really channeling for you and having a real-world hardship. Isn’t that interesting? What did I just learn there? I learned that I need support when I have a hardship like that, and I asked for it. And what am I getting? I’m getting streaming hearts, and that makes me feel better. I learned that I could say it and name it and claim it and go, oh, I made a mistake. I bumped into the device that’s keeping you all safe here watching me, and now I can breathe through it and say, great, problem solved, and I can move back into the Council of Light. Ready? Real-world application of the lessons today that they’re talking about. I swear I don’t make this stuff up, you guys. Okay, I’ll see you on the flip side.

Council of Light:

Well done, Laura. You see, we are giving an example and you just played right into it. We are so thrilled that you were able to show everybody such positivity through hardship. Your discernment as a human being is the most important thing you can have when you are going through your hardships.

Now, Laura’s example here of moving the needle, accidentally bumping into the technology and creating a kerfuffle Is a small example of how you can do that. Think about what your lives— think about the hardships that you have, think about the spaces and the places that are not tracking as well as you would like, or that are harmful or deceitful or discerning in a bad way for you.

We say for you because everybody’s needle and everybody’s opportunity to grow and everybody’s Coherence and understanding of what is tricky is different. Laura’s version of tricky was moving the needle on the computer and making it become unbearable for you guys to see her.

You’re— some of you have needles that are different. Some of you have relationship needles that are tricky and you need to get out of toxic relationships. Some of your needles are codependency on alcohol or drugs or any kind of other substances. Needles and you need to move beyond that.

We give you many variables here because tricky is tricky no matter what, tricky is sticky no matter what. And now we want to remind you that when you come into this Earth plane and you’re here and you’re moving through your lives, whether you’re children or you’re teenagers or you’re young adults or you’re middle-aged or you’re elders and seniors with wisdom and grace, You have opportunity to continue moving needles.

You have opportunity to continue drilling down and saying, what is this? Why am I having consternation around this? What is the fear of this? What is the anger of this? What do I want that is the opposite of this? How can I get there? It might take me a minute or 5 years or 10 years or 20 years, but I’ll get there. And if you keep your eyes on the prize, and if you keep moving and refining your practices or your actions or your response to your feelings, your needles will move. There is no one way to walk through this lifetime.

Each of you are a unique snowflake thumbprint of a life. All of you are individuals with no two of you being exactly alike, even though some of you are twins. We bring this to you to remind you that there’s no right or wrong. You may desire homeostasis, you may desire joy, you may desire balance and care and comfort, and you will get there if you look at each part by itself over and over and over.

Moving needles sometimes goes slow. Moving needles sometimes is nourishing by just taking a deep breath and saying, You know, someday I want to tackle X, Y, and Z. Right now I’m just going to notice X, Y, and Z, and I’m going to stick them over there in the corner because I can’t work with X, Y, and Z quite yet, and I’ll get there.

You as humans do not have any requirements to move needles in any fashion, in any way, and in any kind. You have opportunities to do so, but you do not have requirements. There is no requirement before coming into an existence of a lifetime here, before you come in as a Soul, you are not required to learn the lessons, you are not required to look at the deep stuff, you are not required to turn a new leaf, you are not required to move forward on Continuums, you don’t have to.

There is no right and there is no wrong, but if you don’t, again we say, you are on a Continuum, you are in a space, you are unaware, you are homeostatic, And it doesn’t suit you very well to stay in one place, in one awareness, in one lifetime consciousness.

And so for you, moving forward through and through, it’s important to know how you can action, how you can take motion forward, how you can move your needles. Sometimes it’s with your own introspection. Sometimes it’s with meditation, sometimes it’s with help on the outside, sometimes it’s by yourselves, and sometimes it’s with others.

There is no right and there is no wrong. Sometimes when you start out on a peacemaking plan for yourself or a somatizing plan making for yourself, Or a joyful making plan for yourself, you may say to yourself, I’ve got this, I can do it, I know how to go, it’s in the bag, I’ve been here before, yeah, I can do this all by myself.

And then you get up to the roadblock unbeknownst to yourself and you say, whoa, I thought I could, but I need help. This is hard. I’m stuck. I need to go in a different direction. So get help. Turn to the people in your lives that you know can support you. Don’t delay. For example, if you’re going through a very tricky time in your life and you know you need some form of talk support from another human being, seek out the talk support. Maybe it’s a professional, maybe it’s a trusted friend, maybe it is a family member, but don’t delay. Put it into action.

Sometimes some of you are in a space where you might need some somatizing and some movement acclimatizing. Go out for a run, go for a walk, lift your weights, be your exercise champion for yourself. Don’t delay, do it, just start.

There is no right way and there is no wrong way and there is no time frame, so you could do it once and pick it up again in a month, pick it up twice in a month, pick it up 4 times in a month, and the pattern grows.

We’re saying all of these things to you because sometimes humans feel stuck and you don’t realize you’re stuck. Sometimes humans don’t even realize that they want to go from point A to point B because they’re stuck in point A and it is so comfortable and it is so curated and so rubriced that it’s just the only place they see.

But you all have the opportunity to move your needles. You all have the opportunity to make new choices. You all have the opportunity to grow. And to glow and to be. We don’t say that positivity is the only way to be.

Of course you can be disgruntled and still live a happy life. Of course you can be full of pain and strife and sorrow and still live a happy, joyful, balanced, positive life. There’s a both/and, a yin yang, a sun moon, a light dark. It’s always present for all of you. There’s a push and a pull, an expansion and a contraction.

And as you are mindfully noticing these things, paying attention to the details of these things for all the parts of your lives, you get to become owners of your actions. You get to become stewards of the great positivity and the great negativity and the great purposefulness of your lives. So as you are all reflecting now, take a moment to think of something that you want to move on a needle from point A to point B.

It could be a relationship with someone. It could be a pattern you have. It could be a process that you go through in your work. It could be the setup of a home space. It could be the caring for a person or an animal. It could be any and all of these things. It could be more than one.

And now, as you have that in your mind’s eye, think about the where you are now with it and think about the end destination that you want from it. Is it a resolution? Is it a harmonization? Is it a peaceful contentment? Is it a cleansed and cleared organized space? What is it that you wish out of the situation? Moving it from A across your continuums to B.

To be or not to be, that is the question. We make a joke, but you do have the authority and the autonomy to be this way with your lives. You do have the authority and the autonomy to be present for every aspect of your lives, your joy, your cerebralness, your mental wellness, your physicalness, your relationships, your emotional field.

We say it as a lot, and we don’t mean to suggest that humans need to participate in all of these things all the time, but every once in a while, taking a look at one pie slice does a body good. Does a mind good. Does a spirit good. Does the essence of you good. We bring this to your attention because you are so blindly, we say you as a colloquial you, not the you particularly sitting here who is so mindfully listening, but we say you as a homogenized colloquial human you, You are so blindly caught up in the narration of your lives and all the subterfuge and negativity that is around you in the world filtering through those little handheld devices that you all hold all day long.

Yes, they are modern marvels. Yes, they connect you with the rest of the world. Yes, they bring you joy when you talk to people on them and you see cute little animals on them and you play video games on them or whatever it is you’re doing.

And yes, they also show you the sorrow and the hardship and the pain and the turmoil and the chaos all around you. So be mindful in your lives about what you want to move in your own life. So many humans are stuck living a life of autonomy, automaton, living blindly connected to a device plugged in Not able to reframe or unplug or cognize the fact that it is negativity or strife or fear or horror that is being exhibited and then entered into the energy field of you.

You have the right to put things away, you have the right to cultivate, you have the right to curate, you have the right to be naïve pockets of pure joy. If you so wish.

Again, we say there is no right and no wrong, for all of you as humans have different needle movements and different levels of contentment and resignation, happiness and negativity. There is no needle proof, there is no needle point that is better or worse than any other person’s needle, so think of it in an individualized term.

As we draw to a close with these specificities today, we want you to also be aware of the emotionality and the energetic frequency of your vibrational stations, for you are physical touchstone shells of humans with physical bodies that can be Looked at and touched and sat next to and shared with, but you’re also energetic frequencies.

And so we want you to notice your energetic station. Is it calm? Is it pure? Is it clear? Is it bright? Is it hazy, unfocused? Weighted down, full of aggression or transgression? What is it about your energy station? And as you think of that, with us standing in this space with you, begin to imagine that a golden Divine Light is washing through, cleansing, clearing, harmonizing, puring, containing, Dripping and drenching like liquid through the top of your body, through the middle of your body, through the trunk of your body, through the legs and feet of your body, and you’re filled with a golden light.

Breathing this in and breathing this out. Breathing this in and breathing this out. Breathing this in and breathing this out. You can always connect with this if it feels like it is aligned with you, for when you do this and you bring the Golden Divine Light through you, you begin to acclimatize and somatize and balance and harmonize and all the wonderful things that most humans wish they had.

It is quite simple, and yet it is so hard. Most humans don’t ever think about this. Most humans don’t go there. But you can now, and many of you already have, and we champion you as you continue.

So with that, we will take our leave from you today. We are the Council of Light, and we wrap you in a golden blanket of Light to nourish you and sustain you and keep you ever so tight and to support you until we are to come to you again next month through the voice box of this woman who diligently lets us come to you. Until then, Namaste, goodbye for now, and adieu.

Laura West:

Oh, fabulous! Love you guys, love you guys. Oh, look at all your hearts. Did anyone feel any vibrational movement while that was all happening? Fabulous, fabulous, yeah, lovely. I certainly could. I’m a visualizer, I can visualize internally, so I could see the golden light coming through my body and kind of making me like this buoyant bubble. So, so great.

Well yeah, I don’t know what else I want to ask you. Well, I just want to say thank you too. First of all, thank you for your grace with me as I had that little technology kerfuffle. You just never know, life, life throws you lemons sometimes and you’re like, oh, okay, let’s make some lemonade, right? I made lemonade for you all. And you all helped me. You stirred it with all the hearts, which I love.

The hearts fill me. You guys are on rapid fire with those. I love them so much. This is a lovely way to go through the world, having these kinds of awarenesses, and it’s a lovely way to be joined with all of you. And I just am— my heart is so full every time I get to come here with all of you and be in this space with you. So thank you so much. I really appreciate it, and I will Take my leave now so that we can all be on our way.

I come here every single month, first Saturday of the month, 4 PM Eastern Standard Time. Please go ahead and find me here and follow me, Laura West. I’m in Cambridge, Massachusetts, because I go back in right after this live event is over and I set the next one for next month. Thank you so kindly for that donation. What a beautiful thing that was. Thank you very much.

The other cool thing is video has just been brought to our platform, so I do go through and edit this and post it again here on my page in my teacher profile so people can watch again. And I have all of last year’s videos already uploaded because, you know, when they, when they say to you, hey teacher, you want to be part of our demo crew that now does video? You say yes, let me do all the last year because I’m good like that. Let everybody find you and that, and then you have a database to go back and vibe on from the Council of Light, right?

Okay everyone, I just could hang with you forever. We could just hang out here and eat a bit of chocolate, get a cozy cup of tea, talk about the Council of Light being amazing and how you’re amazing, humans are amazing. I love you all so much. I will see you next month. Thanks, everyone.
