Hold the Light Laurie Gunning Grossman

On the show today is Orly Altaras, a psychic medium who lives in Los Angeles. We met in an online community and I can’t really remember all the details of our meeting, but it was one of those things where we somehow connected online, we chatted, we did an Instagram Live together, and that was so fun that we hosted an in-person New Moon Circle, and have just been champions of each other since.
As a psychic medium, Orly offers 1:1 sessions with people helping them to connect with loved ones on the other side; she does small group readings; she leads classes on how to tap into your intuition; and also is the owner of Lara & Lou, an online shop that provides goods and services for your spirit and home.
Orly has such a beautiful spirit – you’ll hear that in this conversation. She shares some tips on how we can strengthen our intuition and shares some beautiful stories around tuning into the signs and synchronicities that are all around us.

Who’s ready to talk wishes? I imagine you have some for yourself, whether it’s at the forefront of your mind, or buried deep somewhere within.
The topic of wishes is something that my guest today, Alexa Fischer, thinks about a lot. 
Alexa, who is a teacher, entrepreneur, and author of the book Wishwork, is the creator of Wishbeads, which is intention-setting, wish-granting jewelry. Basically, you wear your wishes! Her company has a mission, as she says: to inspire millions of people to make exciting wishes, take action, and put in the work to make those wishes come true.
Alexa is a joy to talk to. She brings such clarity and inspiration for leading a soul-led life. I think you’ll love this conversation.
 Also, she walks through a breathing exercise and visualization towards the end of this episode, so you’ll want to listen all the way through so that you can reap the benefits of her teaching – and to connect to your own wish.

Have you ever had the experience of a sound bath? It’s truly magical.
And that's how I met today’s guest, Alison Liepzig. Ali led a sound bath experience in my hometown of Los Angeles, which I was able to attend after hearing about Ali’s work from a friend. When it was over, I knew I wanted to talk with Ali here on Hold the Light.
Ali has her hands in several spiritually-inspired spaces. She is the co-founder of Soul Camp Creative, which is a sacred strategy house committed to serving spiritual entrepreneurs. She’s also a spiritual teacher, retreat and camp leader, and a sound and vibrational healer.
It’s her work with sound and vibration that we’re focusing on today.
I’m excited for you to hear this conversation and learn more about the power of sound.

Today's guest is today’s guest: Rev. Liliana Barzola, renowned spiritual intuitive and founder and CEO of Lotus Lantern Healing Arts.
She’s been a psychic intuitive since childhood and uses her gift to help people and organizations find clarity and directions – and has conducted over 20,000 in-person and phone intuitive sessions, and has taught over 600 students since 2002. 
As she says, “Oftentimes, ‘psychic sensitives’ are the most in need of healing and support.”
And that she likes to think of herself as the healer’s healer.
Among other things we talk about in this conversation, of course, we talk about energy: why it gets stuck in our bodies and how it manifests. I was curious: what does stuck energy look like? Liliana shares how to clear our energy, how to ground ourselves, and also how to tap into our intuition.

In this solo episode, I share my thoughts on the statement "Courage over comfort." It's been one of my guiding lights this past year, but I had an interesting encounter with someone who didn't like that phrase. I'm sharing my story here -- and I also ask, who are we to know what's best for others? How can we strengthen our internal guidance system so that we make choices in our life based on our inner knowing and intuition.
As Esther and Jerry Hicks (of Abraham-Hicks) says:
“Others cannot understand the vibrational content of your desires, and they cannot understand the vibrational content of who you are, so they are not in any way equipped to guide you. Even when they have the very best intentions and want your absolute well-being, they do not know. And even though many of them attempt to be unselfish, it is never possible for them to separate their desire for you from their own desire for themselves.”

If you’ve been listening to Hold the Light these past weeks, you know that I’ve been sharing pieces of my conversation with Carissa Schumacher.
In case you haven’t heard those episodes yet, a quick introduction:
Carissa, who is one of my spiritual teachers, is a Forensic Psychic Medium, an empathic intuitive, a Sacred Ceremony Facilitator and a full-body Channel for Yeshua, with whom she co-created the book The Freedom Transmissions.
You may have ideas when you hear the name Yeshua, and I did too. So, I wanted to hear from Carissa who Yeshua is to her. What is her definition?
What she describes was so helpful to me – and I know to others who heard the full conversation – because there is such clarity – and beauty – in her answer.
