Happy New Year one and all.

As this New Year begins I wanted to introduce myself to those who haven’t met me yet or had a chance to experience my bodywork or Spiritual Guidance and Coaching.

I am Laurie Holmes and I have lived in South Carolina since 2010. My sojourn to the south began in 1984, around the time that I was finding my way into energetic bodywork. I came to it by a series of fortunate accidents.

Since the late 1970s, I have become fascinated with the whole field of inner soul work, first through a transformation workshop called EST (Erhard Seminar Training), and later through workshops for both the mind and the body.

As my interest grew in both areas, I began to explore deeper the significance the mind has over the body, and my ability to pick up messages long buried in the clients I worked with. At first, I was flabbergasted at my ability to “know” things about them. I thought I must be making it up. When it happened time and time again, including bringing a deceased cat through for a client’s friend, I saw that my abilities were multi-layered. Not only did I see vivid pictures, but I could also at times see or ‘hear’ words, or feel emotions inside my clients. I also have picked up the knowledge that someone I was working with was going to die. Not the when, where, or how… but rare precognition of events that actually happened later on.

When I was able to merge my understanding of how the mind and body both work, things really got interesting. Everything we experience is from the Inside Out, and everything is guided by our ability to feel and think our way through life. It’s both a spiritual gift and a natural one. This gives us a unique sense of creating our own personal realities. The problem shows up when we innocently mistake where our experience is coming from, and it gets embedded in the soft tissue as trauma we have not fully experienced or released. It’s not necessary to relive the trauma, just to acknowledge that it happened so it can be let go of. One has to “see” it to release it. My laser coaching pinpoints the moment we traumatize ourselves through thoughts and feelings. It shows up as a core belief, and the body accepts it as truth. Examples are: I’m not good enough… lovable, smart, worthy, intelligent, etc. Then we play out the story of that belief over and over again. It’s never the Truth but we believe it is, and that’s what innocently keeps it “alive”.

The good news is that this is what I assist my clients in doing. Release it for good.

More recently a new ability has emerged that allows me to follow the minute trace energy trails that occurred from long past traumas(some that go back to babyhood) and find the places where the tissue is bound up in it, to release it as well. It’s a profound relief to no longer carry that inside you. That’s what freedom feels like.

My workshop on the 16th of January will go into more depth on all that happened to me on my 41-year journey in body/soul work. I am giving out 31 free books to anyone who signs up. It’s both a fictional spiritual story wrapped in real things that happened through my life. It is ultimately what has saved me and awakened me to my full potential.. I hope you will join me and bring your childlike wonder and curiosity and be open to a dialogue, as that will create an intimate connection with all who will attend.

When it comes to breast health, early detection and prevention are key.

With multiple screening options available today — including thermography, ultrasound, and mammography — many women wonder which test is best and whether they can be used together for a more complete picture. Let’s explore how each of these tools works, their unique benefits, and how they can complement each other in a proactive approach to breast wellness.

What Is Thermography?

Thermography (also known as digital infrared thermal imaging) is a non-invasive, radiation-free screening that measures heat and blood flow patterns at the skin’s surface. Because changes in temperature can reflect inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or increased blood vessel activity, thermography can sometimes detect early physiological changes before a structural issue appears on imaging.

Benefits of Thermography

• No radiation or compression — safe and painless.
• Detects early functional changes that may occur before tumors form.
• Useful for younger women or those with dense breast tissue.
• Helpful for monitoring hormonal or inflammatory patterns over time.

What Is Ultrasound?

Breast ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of breast tissue. It’s especially helpful for evaluating areas that appear abnormal on a mammogram or thermogram and for distinguishing between solid masses and fluid-filled cysts.

Benefits of Ultrasound

• No radiation exposure.
• Excellent for dense breast tissue, where mammograms may be less clear.
• Can help guide biopsies or pinpoint the nature of a lump.
• Often used as a follow-up tool for additional clarity.

What Is Mammography?

Mammography is an X-ray imaging technique that visualizes the internal structure of breast tissue and is the current standard screening tool for breast cancer detection. It can identify microcalcifications and structural changes that may indicate cancer at an early stage.

Benefits of Mammography

• Detects small structural changes that may indicate early cancer.
• Widely available and often covered by insurance.
• Considered the primary screening test in conventional medicine.

How They Work Together

Each test offers a unique piece of the puzzle:

• Thermography shows early functional changes — like inflammation or increased heat patterns.
• Ultrasound reveals tissue characteristics and helps clarify findings.
• Mammography detects structural changes within the breast.

When combined, these three tools create a comprehensive breast health strategy — identifying both early physiological shifts and structural changes, which can help guide preventive care or timely intervention.

For example, a thermogram may detect unusual heat activity before a mammogram shows visible change, prompting an ultrasound for further insight. Together, they support a more personalized and proactive approach to women’s health.

Choosing the Right Option for You

Your best screening approach depends on your age, breast density, health history, and risk factors. Many integrative practitioners recommend annual thermography combined with periodic ultrasound and mammography for a well-rounded view of breast wellness — especially for women looking to minimize radiation exposure while still maintaining thorough monitoring.

Key Takeaway

Each breast screening tool has its strengths:

• Thermography detects early changes in physiology.
• Ultrasound provides clarity and confirmation.
• Mammography reveals structural detail.

Used together, they empower you to take charge of your breast health with confidence, awareness, and balance!

Last Week’s Theme Was Really Loopy!!

Last week’s major theme was about getting stuck on repeat—those mental programs that try to justify themselves by recreating the same situations again and again. Most of us are running these loops all day long without even realizing it!

This is why meditation is so powerful. When we become still, we create the space to observe these patterns. From there, we can consciously begin to reprogram them, replacing old cycles with healthier, more positive thought patterns.

The Eclipse Energy was forcing these subconscious patterns to the surface!

While that may have felt intense or even unsettling, it was really an invitation to see what’s ready to shift. It seemed like everyone I talked to hand some broken record repeating and repeating around and around that they couldn’t seem to break out of. It was like a Twilight Zone loop. It became clear that they (and myself) were talking themselves into their problems and fueling them with energy, which was making things worse.

I got caught in the LOOP too!

Last week, I caught myself turning something tiny into a full-blown disaster—completely in my head. I kept replaying it, convincing myself I was the victim and that everything was falling apart (LOL).

How do you go from Challenge to Growth?

Thankfully, I realized what was happening and took a dose of my own medicine: be still and present with the thoughts and emotions. Just observe. Stay neutral. Feel it fully until the emotional charge releases.

When that charge lifts, the situation shifts. It no longer feels overwhelming—it simply is. From that calm, grounded place, you can actually see things clearly and consciously choose how to respond (or not), instead of reacting from emotion and creating more problems for yourself.

Free Energy Healing to Recognize Patterns and Find Calm in the Storm

I am sharing this experience with you and also offer an energy healing to help you gently recognize and transmute subconscious negative thought patterns into uplifting feelings of gratitude, joy, and personal growth.

🌿 Weekly Healing Themes

Each week, a common theme tends to rise to the surface—whether through my clients, my family, my friends, or even within myself. Last week, the energy was all about confidence—and the intention to move beyond the false limitations we place on ourselves when we don’t fully trust our own personal power. This week the healing energy is coming to you from the Angelic Realm.

✨ Free Distance Energy Healing ✨

I am offering this healing to help you remember your beauty and strength, so you can live more fully from a state of confidence and faith in yourself.

We live in a world of shoulds and shouldn’ts, ideals and comparisons, social media pressures, and unrealistic standards about how we should look, act, feel, and believe. The truth is—no one fits neatly into those boxes. It’s easy to feel like you’re not enough.

But that is a lie. You are already perfect just the way you are. The light and the dark, the wrinkles and the warts, the smiles and the tears, the successes and the failures—they are all threads in the beautiful tapestry that is you.

💖 The Intention of this Healing

The purpose of this session is to help you fall in love with yourself—not in a narcissistic way, but in a way that allows you to recognize and honor your own strength. When you can truly see and appreciate your own truth and beauty, you naturally begin to see and appreciate the truth and beauty in others as well.

✨ To Receive the Healing Follow the Steps below: ✨
