What is Energy Exchange? Why do you need to ‘pay’ your healer?

Discover the importance of energy exchange in the healing process and how it fosters balance, respect and a deeper transformation.

Healing is such a noble deed. It should be done free of cost. It should be done as ‘seva,’ it should not be commercial, it should be pure and from the heart. Right? Absolutely not!

There are several misconceptions around the idea of energy exchange and healing. Energy exchange is crucial in the healing process because it maintains balance and flow between the giver and receiver. When you participate in an energy exchange, such as through a fee or offering, you honour the value of the healing work and create a mutual respect for the time, effort and energy involved. This exchange helps to ensure that the healer can continue their practice sustainably and that you, as the receiver, are fully committed to your healing journey.

In an exclusive interaction, Life Coach and Healer Laii Durve dispels the myths and explains the importance of energy exchange.

What is energy exchange?
Energy exchange is the concept where you give something in return for what you receive. Traditionally, it wasn’t necessarily money; it could be any form of exchange through the barter system. However, in today’s times, money is valued, important and necessary, making it a common medium for energy exchange.

Why is energy exchange important?
Energy exchange is important because it maintains balance. When you keep receiving without giving back, you can become overburdened with too much receiving and signal to the universe that you do not wish to give. This imbalance can affect the flow of abundance in your life.

On the other hand, when there is no energy exchange, the giver can become depleted and unbalanced. Constantly giving without receiving in return can lead to burnout, fatigue and a sense of being undervalued. This imbalance may also signal to the universe that the giver’s efforts are not appreciated, potentially limiting their ability to attract abundance and support. Over time, this lack of reciprocity can hinder the giver’s capacity to continue offering healing and support, impacting their overall well-being and effectiveness.

What happens when energy exchange is not followed?
If energy exchange is not followed, it disrupts the natural balance of giving and receiving. This can result in blocked abundance and hindered personal growth. For healers, not asking for a proper energy exchange, often due to self-worth issues, can prevent them from receiving the benefits they deserve for their services.

Why is money the medium of energy exchange in today’s world?
Money is considered an energy exchange today because it is a universally accepted medium that can be exchanged for goods, services and time. Unlike the barter system, where the exchange had to be direct and tangible, money simplifies transactions and represents the value of the exchange.

What should you keep in mind about energy exchange if you are consulting a healer?
While consulting a healer, it’s crucial to honour the energy exchange by paying for their services upfront. This is not just for the healer’s benefit, but primarily for your own. Paying for healing services stakes your commitment to the process and opens the flow of abundance, ensuring that you fully receive the benefits of the healing.

What personal experiences highlight the importance of energy exchange?
Many people struggle with the concept of energy exchange due to self-worth issues or a scarcity mindset. Those who tightly hold onto their money often find that the universe does not provide them with more. Conversely, those who freely give find that the universe reciprocates multi-fold. Investing in oneself, whether through workshops, personal development or healing sessions, is crucial for growth and breaking free from misery.

What is the power of abundance in relation to energy exchange?
The power of abundance is closely tied to energy exchange. When you give, especially to yourself, the universe recognises this act and returns it in abundance. Those who invest in themselves, despite seeming financial constraints, often find that they achieve better results and live more fulfilling lives. Recognising and practicing this principle can lead to greater personal and financial prosperity.

By understanding and practicing proper energy exchange, you can create a balanced flow of giving and receiving, fostering both personal growth and abundance in your life.

Spiritual insights from the Laii Sorcerer Glastonbury Retreat

LaiiSorcerer Glastonbury Retreat 2024
L-R Shivani Shinde, Meeta Wadher, Dr Anamika Shinde, Indu Priyamvada, Laii Durve, Smita Rege and Urvashi Shah at Stonehenge as part of the LaiiSorcerer Glastonbury Retreat.

Glastonbury is a great place for spiritual retreats. Its rich history of mystical legends and its serene natural surroundings provide an ideal environment for introspection and spiritual growth. The town’s ancient sites, such as Glastonbury Tor and the Chalice Well, offer a unique, tranquil atmosphere that fosters deep connection and rejuvenation. These places were explored during the beautifully curated Glastonbury Retreat by Laii Sorcerer. Guided by life coach and healer Laii Durve, the group of six seekers who attended the Retreat gained wonderful insights about their self, their purpose in life and much more.

Here’s what each of them had to say about their individual experiences:

Participants of the LaiiSorcerer Glastonbury Retreat 2024 at the Goddess Temple along with the high priestess.

Learning, laughter and love

“The Glastonbury retreat with Laii was a spiritual journey filled with lots of learning, loving guidance, insights and beautiful experiences. Laii ensured that we were constantly in touch with ourselves and gathered our insights to help us with our intention for the retreat.

It was filled with lots of learning, laughter and love.

Thank you Laii for making the Glastonbury retreat a packed and wholesome spiritual development programme.

My key takeaways from the Retreat are:

+ Learning to respond rather than react
+ Observing as much as possible
+ Reducing my interference
+ Staying within oneself as much as possible
+ And importantly no शहाणपणा (shahanpana or shrewdness)”

Indu Priyamvada

Continued growth and exploration

“Attending the spiritual retreat at Glastonbury with Laii didi was truly transformative. From the moment I arrived, the ancient energy of the land enveloped me, sparking a sense of anticipation and reverence. Each day was filled with activities designed to deepen my connection with myself.

Exploring the town’s sacred sites, such as the Chalice Well, was like stepping back in time, immersing ourselves in centuries of spiritual tradition. The workshops and discussions led by Laii didi provided valuable insights for personal growth. Each experience offered a new perspective and a deeper understanding of myself.

As the retreat drew to a close, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to immerse myself in such a sacred space. The lessons learned and connections made will stay with me long after leaving Glastonbury, inspiring continued growth and exploration on my spiritual path.”

Unburdening the Self

I joined the Retreat at the last minute, but I was super excited.

One we started the Retreat with Laii, it was one of the best experiences as a lot of insights about ourselves that we were unaware of or didn’t want to expect or acknowledge surfaced. The goddess temple meditation was amazing to start with followed by Merlin’s Cave. The VortexHealing session was so amazing it felt like a-20kg unnecessary weight that I was carrying was lifted off. I had a lot of resistance towards letting go. But I tried and I could see a difference in my actions immediately.

Last but not the least Stonehenge was amazing and beautiful with receiving energy. Our final destination, the town of Bath, was really beautiful and we were able to do a little bit of shopping there, too.

Thank you so much Laii for everything you arranged so we could benefit from it in our personal growth. I would love to join the next Retreat with a different me and a new topic to work on.

To experience the different side of YOU, Laii’s Retreat and one-on-one session is a must-do.

Good luck and loads of love to you, Laii! Thank you!

Interpretations, judgments and interference

“This was my third retreat with Laii at Glastonbury. The first two, in 2019 and 2022, were great experiences and that motivated me to register for the third one.

My journey started a little before the Retreat as I was travelling solo to London, Scotland and Geneva, before reaching Glastonbury for the Retreat. Eleven people had registered and only six of us could reach London on 4th June. It’s amazing how people pay money, are ready to invest their time and energy, but they can’t reach there. It’s amazing how this works, how the land calls people.

I’m very grateful that the land of Glastonbury is supporting me in my inner journey and is ready to receive me. Our first session was in London. It was the opening session and we started observing ourselves from the first day onwards.

Observing our egos, our victimhood and also our ‘shahanpana’. Now, ‘shahanpana’ is a Marathi word, but I think that’s most appropriate way to describe it. So, we started observing, we started writing, we started internally watching ourselves.

And this observation continued for various different topics throughout the retreat. So, every day there was a different topic that was introduced by Lai and it was very much appropriate to me and to the group as well because it was related to interpretations, judgments and interference.

I could see Tor from my cozy pink room. I really loved being there.

As we went to different places each day, such as the Goddess House, Chalice Well and Stonehenge, we let go of log of things. The Retreat was full of ‘let go’ energies.”

Meeta Wadher

Never stop self-work

The spiritual retreat to Glastonbury with Laii was peaceful and relaxing. During the retreat, I experienced peace within myself for the entire seven days that we were there. We had beautiful sessions, which were led by Laii. By visiting the holy places of Glastonbury, I felt a beautiful connection with the land. This Retreat has proved to be a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey, reassuring my faith and a good reminder to meditate, and to never stop self-work to maintain inner peace.”

How I faced my mother’s death

Grappling with the death of a loved one, dealing with the grief and loneliness that ensues – we all have to brave it at some point in our lives. Here I am sharing my journey with you, hoping it would help you in your time of need.

Death is a subject that many of us—possibly all—are afraid of. Recently, my favourite person in the whole world, and a best friend to many, left her mortal coil and moved on to a higher realm. My mum. And I had to deal with it. 

She and I shared a fascinating mother-daughter relationship, and she used to tell me she was especially lucky to have me (and very few people know this). 

So, what did her physical departure from my life teach me? Is it about retaining your strength? Is it causing you to become more engaged at work? Is it related to crying? Is it the lack of crying? Does it involve talking on the phone with others? 

Move on with your life is the most ridiculous advice that I have received so far. Well, many people told me to do this. How does one really move on? I don’t know how, and I don’t think there is anyone who can teach you this. So, instead of ‘moving on,’ I decided to practise acceptance. I came to terms with the notion that I will not be able to see, embrace, kiss or hear her.

What followed was a phase of self-doubt. What to do with myself and my time, since I am an only child and have lived with my mother literally all of my life. 

I also had to accept the departure of several people from my life who were solely there because of my mother – because she was their support system, she stood rock solid for them, she had their back. Although these people will look up to me to fill in her shoes and give them support, I won’t be able to do that. I am not my mother and I very humbly accept the fact that I might not hear from them ever again. 

Tears and emotions will continue to interrupt my routine as much as her ideas and teachings will continue to guide me. The void she has left will remain and I have no intention of filling it up with inane hobbies or idle talks with wellwishers. Instead I wish to flow in and out of this void with the courage she has instilled in me, and each time come out of it with acceptance and peace. When the entanglement dissolves, this void will become my source of love, strength and knowledge. 

As a Family Constellation facilitator, I clearly see our roles – hers and mine – in the larger scheme of life. My mother always said that her daughter was destined for greatness. Her belief in me has been the greatest accomplishment of my life.

The best shraddhanjali I can give her is to live my life in her honour. After all, I am my mother’s daughter, and in death as in life, I shall always honour her.

Life of a Coach (part2)

Introduction:

People learn in a variety of ways and through various means. One method is to seek advice from role models who are generally successful in their lives. Life coaching primarily assists people in understanding and thinking differently. Its main goal is to allow the person receiving coaching to discover for himself what is beneficial to his or her development. 

  1. Why did you decide to be a coach? 

I never intended to become a coach. For me, it was more of a happening. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been empathetic to people since I was a child. Understanding people and attempting to find the root cause of any problem was a tendency or perhaps a way for me to deal with problems in my life.

  1. What are the pros and cons of being a life coach?

There are no advantages to being a coach because a coach will never think this way. I realised it when I was able to detach myself from my people and address the same situation to offer direction or help with my set of understanding to my group of students. A coach can only function as a coach when he or she is completely wise. I never gave my students solutions; instead, I have always believed that they must find their own solutions. I hold them, love them, and care for them, but I never try to rescue them or tell them what is right or wrong. Because there is no such thing as right or wrong. It’s all about learning your lessons and progressing.

  1. Describe your journey as a life coach?

My journey began as a teacher and has now evolved into that of a coach. My basic personality was solution-oriented rather than direction-oriented. This is not my path, I realised. It is not necessary to have your student achieve a perfect score of 100 on 100. But being with them as they form into who they are.

  1. Key lessons that you have learned?

Lessons I’ve learned include the fact that everyone has their own set of karmas and that everyone will choose based on their frequency. I’ve never really boosted anyone or asked for one-on-one coaching. It has always been more of a personal communication, and they have chosen to work on a specific topic with us.

Conclusion:

As a coach, you really don’t do anything – if you do, you lose your position as a coach. Simply provide a safe space for your people to evolve. The same way you feel when you’re with your parents.

Life of a Coach (part1)

Introduction:

What comes to mind when you hear the word “coach”? Is it connected to sports? Do you see glum-looking men and women rearranging their prayers to win the match? That is the most common image that people have, but coaching is much more than simply winning a game. When a trained individual assists a person in improving their life, whether in terms of their job or on a personal level, this is referred to as life coaching. A life coach will assist each individual in understanding their self-worth in a world that is entirely focused on tearing people down and making them feel worthless.

  1. What does coaching entail?

A guide, a teacher, and a coach. We are all humans. Humans are similar to our students. We all have baggage, and as we shed it through understanding, awareness, and a strong support system, we evolve. A Coach is frequently judged for being the most perfect human being. So, all I ask is that you allow them to be human beings with a little more knowledge of the subject than you, that’s all. In India, I frequently witness a culture in which a guide is asked to serve as Guru. Guru has attained enlightenment. The coach is not enlightened, but he is undoubtedly on the path to ascension. Coaching is a guide to the path that one chooses.

  1. What are the myths about coaching?

Coaching is not the same as teaching or fixing someone. The biggest myth is that you should be the best student or coach. There is nothing better than a good coach. However, a coach is someone who is familiar with the path as well as several alternative routes to the same destination. A coach will never give you answers, but will make you think and speak when he or she believes you are finally getting there.

  1. Why should you select coaching as a career option?

Coaching, on the other hand, can be a viable career option for those with relevant experience. There is no such thing as an ideal coach training or course.

  1. Does being a healer make you a better coach? Why?

Being a healer and being a coach can be very different things. They don’t have much in common. You can be both a healer and a coach, but being a coach implies that you are a healer, which may not be a prerequisite for moving forward on this path or journey. A Coach is always changing. Until he or she achieves mastery.

Conclusion:

In today’s society, this is something you should think about for yourself and your loved ones. It will give you an advantage at work and teach you to love yourself even when you make mistakes.

Spiritual shopping and Maya

Spirituality is not any different from our existence.

To put it simply, spirituality means being connected with our true nature – connecting to ‘Who am I ‘.

Then why all this confusion over being spiritual or non-spiritual? 

Very often people claim with a sense of superiority,   that they follow spirituality. This is not spirituality but just a subtler way of boosting one’s ego. Our basic nature is spiritual. In fact  following spiritual practices should be a natural part of our daily routine – as simple as  having food.

In the so called quest for spirituality people go through a crazy process,  attending all sorts of workshops or ‘trainings’ that they come across. 

The search for one’s Self is a part of the journey,  but  most of the time in this entire process people lose sight of their destination and It is important to understand that the spiritual journey is all about peeling off layers of karmas and one needs to make the distinction between the real thing versus illusions created by attending various dubious therapies. Lack of understanding of this point leads to  stopping of the practices and landing back in square one, maybe even with added karma baggage. 

One needs to realise that all of us are already on this journey and it is very important to stay with oneself and not get influenced.

There is a difference between being influenced and having and following a coach, a guide or a living Guru or Master in physical form.

Consistent and committed practice is of utmost importance and  constant self-awareness while practicing is the key. One will meet diverse people and different teachers on this journey, but staying grounded on the path  with awareness and not getting deviated is preferable. 

People who apparently don’t practice spirituality are busy judging people who are, or at least claim to be, on the path. It is expected that such judgements will happen  and sometimes people who are following certain practices may be elevated to Angelic or Godly status by others. It is funny that nobody gives one freedom to continue shedding one’s karmic baggage.

The judgements people make are rooted on their hurts, and projected onto you. Honestly these judgements have nothing to do with you – but this only highlights the fact of how much these  people  are in need of direction towards working on themselves.

Your critics do a great service of mirroring you and indicating to you how much you have healed and how much healing is still required by you.

Keep it simple and real.

Spirituality is a way of living…. as natural as breathing.

The beauty of Kashmir and understanding the Victim- Perpetrator energies

Recently I visited one of the most beautiful places in India,  rather, on Earth – Kashmir. This was my fourth trip to this lovely place and feels like home with every visit. Whether it is the Himalayan ranges,  Nature in her full splendor, or the pure clean atmosphere – I just soak in the wonderful energies of this place.

This time my trip was as an observer and not as a tourist. I realized that Kashmir has tremendous healing powers but at the same time needs a lot of healing too. A lot has happened on this land. On the etheric level, several Rishis and enlightened Master’s are still showering their blessings on this land.

Everything depends on how one looks at Kashmir – from the point of view or with the energy of the victim or of the perpetrator. In the Family Constellation session, the dynamics between the victim and the perpetrator are very interesting. Each one cannot exist without the other and they keep manifesting these energies. This ultimately shows up as a great power issue with disastrous results  like mass killings and genocide.

It is very important that as a human being and, more importantly as an aware human being,  one takes responsibility for both these energies – victim and perpetrator – and makes peace with them. Today Kashmir needs healing since all these things are not being acknowledged.  At the same time, the truth is that this place is a great healing energy.

Diana Cooper ( with whom I am certified as an Angel Teacher) had mentioned in one of her sessions that Ascended Master Kuthumi’s retreat is in Kashmir. While I  was moving around different locations in Kashmir, I connected with him almost daily. My silent walks, the time spent by myself around rivers, the people I met and even the times I went shopping at the local shops – all these helped me to learn a lot about victim energies. 

Now it is time to accelerate the evolution of human consciousness and we already have immense support for this. Our first step would be to accept and acknowledge ‘what is’ – the rest is a process with healing to reach upto a level of love and compassion for all.

I have decided to conduct my first retreat in Kashmir, India, in 2023 and am looking forward to the stay, to receive healing and knowledge and learn to be with the flow as the ascension process is already under progress for all of us.

My lovely readers, I hope you have got a new perspective about victim, perpetrator and Kashmir today.

Lots of love and healing.

On a mission to connect with your inner self

When you connect to your inner power, everything starts aligning for you. Let me exemplify this in an interesting way. I was recently watching the movie Mission Mangal (again!) and I began drawing parallels between the evolution of the characters and the concept of connecting with one’s inner power. Your inner self is a powerhouse of energy. Most of us go through life without realising it. We look at others for inspiration and positivity, whereas it is right within us (in huge quantities) all the time. Once you connect with this inner self, you have instant access to its immense power, and everything in your life automatically starts aligning with your vision. That’s what is shown in Mission Mangal, too. Mission Mangal is my favourite movie for three reasons:

  • It talks about connecting with who you really are
  • It makes me feel proud as a Bharatiya
  • Vidya Balan!

When people ask me why something is not working out for them or why they are feeling stuck, my solution is always self work.

Aligning with the Self

This movie inspired me for something different. Mission Mangal is a lesson in history for us, both as Bhartiyas and as human beings.

All the major characters in the film are scientists who are dedicated to the idea of making a spaceship, which will be India’s research vehicle to Mars. These characters are brilliantly executed by the actors playing them. A space mission to Mars is not a joke, especially for a country like Bharat. So, obviously there are plenty of challenges on their path. But what is interesting about the way the narrative of the movie flows is that each of the scientists is also facing challenges in their personal lives.

As scientists, they have the capacity to innovate and to even think of creating something impossible. They have the power to create something out of nothing. Once they decide to dedicate themselves to this mission, everything in their personal lives starts aligning, too. Science is their passion. As they align to their passion with a single-minded purpose of reaching Mars, their entire life transforms. The Universe rushes to their support, and family, friends and the whole nation follow suit.

For instance, Neha Siddiqui, the character played by Kirti Kulhari, is beset with issues. Her husband leaves her for another woman, she has been asked to move out of her dorm due to her religion, and her work is a limbo as the status of the mission is not confirmed by higher authorities. She is seen in a victim mode. But with the help of colleague Ananth Iyengar (played by H G Dattatreya) she stands up against her cheating husband and finds another and a much better living arrangement. Once she is connected with her true self, and she is able to rely on her own power, she stops feeling powerless. Her victim role ends there.

Your life can be exactly like this movie. Don’t lose yourself over anything or anyone. Hold on to your inner self, your true self. Work towards your passion. I am lucky that I love my work; it is my number one passion; it is not just a way of earning money to me but a way to connect to who I am. But if you are not, find something to be passionate about. It need not only be work. It could be a hobby or social work.

When something goes wrong in my life or things don’t fall in place as they should, I ponder over what lessons have I missed learning. It is learning that makes us go through experiences. Unless you learn your lesson, the experiences will keep coming back.

We all have things we love to do, things we do because we are passionate about them. These are the things that help align our world. I am not suggesting that we ignore things that are not going our way or be stubborn about moving forward. Meet the challenges in your life with your inner power. When you are truly connected with your inner self, the rest of the world takes appropriate action to align with you.

Are you ready to channelise your inner power?

7 Areas That Transform Over The Course Of A Lifetime

7 Areas That Transform Over The Course Of A Lifetime

Individuals, organisations, and nations alike must cope with change since it is a reality of existence. Those who can accept this reality and adapt with change will be the ones who survive. Change is inevitable, but how about describing it as transformational? Below listed are the seven areas where an individual experiences a change in the course of a lifetime.

Relationships

For almost all of us, the most important facet of our lives is our relationships. Keep an eye on what’s going on and be conscious of what’s happening. It will reflect your personal adventure ahead. Be open to change in this area and be aware of it – this will help you progress in your life. Your relationship with your lover will strengthen with each transformation.

Health

In today’s world, health is one of the most critical topics. We’ve learned a lot from the pandemic. Our thought process is greatly influenced by our mental health. Physical health serves as a mirror for our attitudes toward ourselves. We can achieve a lot of internal harmony to help us balance things out. What is your body trying to tell you? Make changes and ensure that your parameters are satisfied.

Career

Today’s youth have just one goal: to get a job, but only if they can survive. Few people are out of survival mode and are instead stressed. Is it possible for you to decide a part of your job that you like and flow with? Alternately, combine it with something you enjoy, such as a hobby, meditation, or reading.

Flow of life

Whenever a terrible event occurs in our lives, with that incident, we begin to lose a piece of ourselves. I have made this mistake. This is done by shamans as basically shamans take you on a journey and get all your parts together.

Examine your life to identify where you are stuck. Assemble your pieces and work toward being comprehensive.

Peace and harmony within

When was the last time we experienced peace and harmony? Instead of being reliant on the outside world, work on inner tranquility. Nothing outside of you will ever have an impact on you. Internal change is essential.

Spiritual side of a human being

Humans are spiritual by nature. Simply returning to yourself in its entirety is connecting yourself with your blueprint. Here, transformation entails removing all masks you’ve worn.

Breaking karmic cycles

Countless karmic cycles are currently breaking. Relationships, ideas, beliefs, and concepts are all crucial. This is a tremendous opportunity to improve one’s life. Work on everything that is preventing you from moving forward. You are about to enter a whole new universe.

Going beyond the way you live, co-creating a better life for yourself, and altering the way you live are all part of the transformation process. This can be accomplished via the use of your ideas, visualisation, words, faith, deeds, or a combination of techniques.

Deep Diving Into The Idea Of Mental Well-Being

Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.” – Noam Shpancer, PhD

What is the definition of well-being? This word is particularly intriguing these days, since we are all concerned about our own and loved ones’ futures. Our lovely mind, which is never stable, creates the whole drama. Yoga helps us to keep our bodies stable. We may nourish our souls via meditation, but what about our wandering minds? Many individuals come to me for help with their wandering minds. Stop wandering, I say. So, how is it possible? It is conceivable. The mind’s natural tendency is to wander, and we can’t stop it. However, we must never allow the mind to control us and force us to do what it desires. Isn’t it simple? Yes, it is very straightforward.

I constantly tell people to focus on the root cause of any problem. And now we’ve arrived at the source of the wandering mind. Childhood problems and traumas are frequently the cause of a swaying mind or a closed mind. We all have a victimised kid inside of us who refuses to listen to the wise self. A lot of what is said here also refers to interior masculine and feminine energies being disrupted. Whatever is on the inside will be reflected on the outside.

So, in order to break free from victimisation, go after the core cause of inner childhood traumas. You can be wounded from the inside, but it is your job to heal.

Understanding the principles of family constellation is critical in determining which parent or situation is to be held accountable. If you’re having problems with men, look into the source of the problem. If you’re insecure about your girlfriend, look for the source of your insecurity.

In general, you are free to make your decisions based on your own free will rather than being pressured by your inner child’s Shakespearean stories. Remember that these are stories, not facts about a scenario. So take pleasure in self-work and strive toward mending your lovely mind. The next stage, of course, is to enlist the aid of the body via yoga (I personally recommend.)

And meditation is the ultimate way to get in touch with your inner self. So, if you’re planning to buy a house, you first clean it before decorating it. Similarly, clean your stories before decorating them for a more peaceful self.

It’s all up to us. Reclaim your power. I have faith in you.
