Emotional Release with Shamanic Release & Latihan CD

When I arrived in West Palm Beach, I was very pent up from a lot of pressure over the last four months and not knowing whether the books would arrive in time for the trade show. In addition, the DVD of the Bliss course I was planning to have in my hands had some technical difficulty in being re-produced. I've only been waiting for that for three years!

So, I walked into Randall's home and said, "I need to do emotional release right now. Care to join me?" He responded, "I know a great CD we can do it with." It did not dawn on me that he was going to put in my CD - Shamanic Release & Latihan by Laurie Handlers . Duh!

I laid down and the CD began. I figured, "I don't need this. I just put on any music lay down, hit the floor and clear in 20 minutes. Maybe he needs this direction." Ha ha on me.

But then I listened to the instructions and followed my voice to the letter. What an expereince! See I listened to the recording when I made it in the studio. And I often listen to it when I visit my MySpace profile. But the truth is that I had never done the process to it.

What was I thinking?

It's so great. I had the thought, "Damn this is good. And it's me! Wow!"

Anyway, it was an amazing experience for me to be facilitated by me. I don't know how to describe it, but it got the job done and then some. I had the release of the decade as far as I am concerned. I highly recommend it. Ha ha ha. You knew I would.

But if you are holding out on yourself about doing Emotional Release, why? What are you waiting for? If you cannot do it by yourself, then by all means get the CD. It will change the planet.

One of my students wrote and said this to me about my sharing of this experience: "This seems to me like a great example of making love to yourself. You let the creative powerful Get It Out There, Get It Up, Get It Now God in you make love to the Receptive, Open-hearted, Ever-Waiting Goddess. The Yin + the Yang of you = the release of the decade."

Yeah Baby, that's what I'm talking about!

Love & Gratitude,

When I arrived in WPB, I was very pent up from a lot of pressure over

My Book: Sex & Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy is out!

I am in West Palm Beach - just did two trade shows over the last two weekends and I'm about to do a Bliss course here this Saturday (in case you know anyone who would like to do it). This past weekend my book finally arrived from my publishers in India. I got 50 advance copies and the others are on the way to New York. Should be arriving first week of May. Yee ha!!!

My point is that Sex & Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy is here in my hand! I am so happy about it I cannot tell you. My life long dream to write a book is fulfilled now as I write.

This weekend at the WPB Body, Mind, Spirit Expo I felt people looked at me differently when they saw the book and then they saw me. Someone told me this would happen, but I did not know how it would feel and it felt slightly different. Books make people instant experts. I could feel it. I am no longer simply a Tantra teacher. I am now an expert. It feels tangible. Of course Michele, my colleague, made it particularly clear to people who visited the booth that this
was THE book and then this was me standing right here where they could touch me - THE author.

I learned a lot in the process both about writing, about trusting, about working with others who say one thing and have a completely different understanding of what needs to be done and then keeping their word or not. In the end of each segment along the way, I had to let go, surrender totally.

I know what to do differently for the next printing and with the next book and I'm sure I'll still learn some things when all is said and done. And surrender is the main lesson.

Isn't that just the cosmic joke over and over again? Surrender is the main lesson. Breathe and squeeze. Oooo and Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

In the advance order I think I mentioned there were fifty books. They are gone now:-) I sold a lot of them at the show and the rest are in the mail going to those people who advance ordered the book over the last year. What a feeling of accomplishment.

FYI you can order the book online at my website www.butterflyworkshops.com. You have the choice of getting the actual book for $19.99 plus S & H or ordering it as an eBook for $14.99.
Hopefully the two versions will serve everyone's tastes. And I ask you to let others know that they can get a hold of it too.

I plan to have a third option which is a combination of the book and the Shamanic Release & Latihan CD as a package for $35 plus S & H as well. They go hand in hand. In the book I talk a lot about Emotional Release and the CD is the tool I created to help you do it.

I recently had the expereince of doing emotional release to my own CD and it was amazing so I will write about it in the next post.

All I can say is that I am thrilled beyond words and looking forward to your feedback about the book.

If you have leads for book signing places and independent bookstores please feel free to follow up with me about that now. I am ready to take this book to Oprah and to the world.

With so much love & gratitude,

So Tired

Wow, I am really running full tilt boogie.

I am so tired and a bit frazzled, I'm finding it hard to remember things and I noticed yesterday and today I am losing my temper. Luckily tomorrow I will do an emotional release session and I'm sure I'll feel better.

I would really feel better too if people would get responsible for themselves. I notice I send out email after email about calls and events, etc. Yet people still call me for directions or phone numbers at the last minute. Or, even more annoying to me is when people don't even bother to call me back when I have called and left a message for them. How rude. You'd think I have nothing better to do than give directions hundreds of times over and over or call people again and again. I am in complete alignment with superior customer service, but this is beyond the call of duty.

If you are reading this, please grow up! Please be responsible for your own information, for where you have to be and when, and may I add - get there on time. Please have the courtesy to return calls when you get a message. What's up with all this?

Anyway, it is wearing me down. I notice I don't have the energy to do as much hand-holding anymore.

My book is due tomorrow! At last my book will be available! Sex & Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy will hit the streets! I hope it will cause a huge shift in the way I feel I must behave in the world. I hope people who don't want to return calls or get themselves to a course, but want everything over the phone will simply buy the book and get the best I can offer so I can get some rest. I feel like a new mother who took a long time to birth this thing and now I must rest.

Hopefully, after emotional release tomorrow this whole attitude will shift. I still think I'll need rest though.

Long Time No Blog

Wow, what a ride! When I arrived back in New York, I hit the ground flying meaning I never hit the ground. I've been flying ever since India full speed ahead.

Be careful what you ask for because you just may get it all at once! All the dreams I had of a lifetime started to come into being at the same time. While this is the universe showing abundance to me, it all came in a way I wasn't expecting. All at once.

In the last three months, I have I managed the final edits of my first book Sex & Happiness: The Tanric Laws of Intimacy (soon to be in my hands and then your hands!), I started my radio show Tantra Cafe, I completed the edits on a film we shot almost three years ago of Bliss: Beginner's Tantra, I birthed a new updated website for www.ButterflyWorkshops.com, I managed the day-to-day aspects of life and running a business and I took four courses at Learning Annex in Manhattan about free publicity and voiceovers (another life long dream). I taught four or five Bliss courses, led a couple of Introductions to Tantra up and down the east coast, hosted a book launch and Valentine's Puja without even having the book and just completed delivering the finest Ecstasy course ever! Oh yeah and there's the It Takes 2 Goddesses to Do New York Series that started up again. That too!

Someone said to me, your life is like the life of a big corporation with many departments. I had to laugh. Yes, it is and for the most part there is only me:-) I have a personal assistant from time to time and I feel it is such a blessing to have someone to work with. And of course, at the courses, there are many who assist. But for the most part, I am on my own and the amount I accomplish amazes me. I feel like a whirling dervish.

Many of these projects are completing as I write. The book really should be in my hands by next week. The film will be in my hands then as well. Then starts the marketing and publicity aspects of these products. Yet I feel it will be easier than actually managing so much into manifestation at the same time. At least I'm hoping.

I will take some well earned rest. I've started that already. I slept for four days over this past weekend trying to make up for three months.

What I really want now is to create a wonderful lover (or lovers) somewhere - somebody to be physical with, have yummy sex and get lots of nurturance for my soul with a man who gets me yet doesn't try to have or keep me. I want freedom to play and bask in the sun of it without strings of any kind. Of course, I still want and need to stay on purpose so I'm creating a drama-free situation for myself. Feels yummy just thinking about it.

Hey, are you out there? Mr. McYummy? Let me know. I need a couple of weekends with you and that's all. You must be Tantric and in a wonderful space in your life. Having a temple space at minimum would be great, a place where we could do Puja!

I distract myself.

Well, I will be blogging again on a regular basis. you can count on it. Life is great!

Namaste.
