About Linda:
Have you ever battled overwhelming anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, soul fatigue or stress? It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We’ve all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."
As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact.
A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply.
My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don’t love yourself, how can you love anyone else? Join a call for love.

A lot of what society is putting pressure on us. Judgment,
Speaker:separate competition. The first law is the law
Speaker:of divine oneness, where everything is
Speaker:connected to everything else. It's the law of
Speaker:motion. Nothing is separate, right? We are not
Speaker:separate beings. Everything we do has a
Speaker:ripple. We. We're kind, it has a ripple.
Speaker:We're unkind, it has a ripple. What we think,
Speaker:say, do and believe has a corresponding
Speaker:effect on others and the universe around us. You know, it's like
Speaker:dropping that pebble in the water and having the
Speaker:ringlets radiate outwards. Have you
Speaker:ever felt, if you walk into a room, you feel somebody's
Speaker:joy and light? Or have you been so
Speaker:empathetic when you feel somebody else's pain?
Speaker:Welcome back to A Call for Love. And if you're new to A Call
Speaker:for Love, you're going to really enjoy today's message because
Speaker:we're going to talk about the hidden rules that are
Speaker:secretly shaping your life. You may not know it,
Speaker:but these secret rules, which are actually
Speaker:universal laws according to hermetic philosophy,
Speaker:are actually responsible for creating some of the
Speaker:patterns that are repeating in our life. And you
Speaker:know, it gets to be a very serious thing when you keep on
Speaker:repeating. I had a friend, he used to say, you repeat
Speaker:what you don't repair. And sometimes it needs us to really
Speaker:understand our behaviors and our
Speaker:consciousness in order to know what we're repeating in order to
Speaker:repair it. And these 12 universal laws will
Speaker:help us dive deep into, into that. Now there's this little
Speaker:book, it's black with gold writing, called the
Speaker:Kybalion. It's Hermetic Philosophy and it's
Speaker:the Three Initiatives. This is a little book that
Speaker:I've read. Well, I tried to read and then I put it down
Speaker:and then I pick it up again and then I put it down. It's not
Speaker:necessarily a super easy read, but
Speaker:it's well worth diving into because it really
Speaker:shares about a philosophy or a sacred wisdom
Speaker:that is passed down through the ages. It began in
Speaker:ancient Egypt and Greece and is often
Speaker:called a messenger of deeper knowledge and
Speaker:wisdom. It's not a science,
Speaker:but this may really ring true. I do believe there
Speaker:could be scientific reasoning in this,
Speaker:but really it's ancient wisdom. And I'm
Speaker:going back to all these ancient texts and
Speaker:teachers because the human condition, the human experience,
Speaker:really hasn't changed. You know, our heart breaks just
Speaker:like it did 2,000 years ago. And before
Speaker:I feel like the human experience, our thoughts, feelings
Speaker:and sensations are continuing and
Speaker:continuously dictating our life. And in
Speaker:order to kind of get a hold of them, to have a deeper understanding
Speaker:of who we are and how we're relating to the world
Speaker:requires some foundation. And for me, this
Speaker:has been foundational. These 12 universal laws.
Speaker:I will go through each one of these universal laws
Speaker:and I'll just give a little bit of sharing. Just see how
Speaker:it lands in your heart and in your mind. See how
Speaker:they resonate within you. Now, the First Law, which
Speaker:is so interesting, and it
Speaker:goes against a lot of what
Speaker:society is putting pressure on us. Judgment, separate
Speaker:competition. The First Law is the law of
Speaker:Divine Oneness, where everything is
Speaker:connected to everything else. It's the law of
Speaker:motion. Nothing is separate. Right. We are not
Speaker:separate beings. Everything we do has a
Speaker:ripple. We. We're kind, it has a ripple.
Speaker:We're unkind, it has a ripple. What we think,
Speaker:say, do and believe has a corresponding
Speaker:effect on others and the universe around us. You know, it's like
Speaker:dropping that pebble in the water and having the
Speaker:ringlets radiate outwards. Have you
Speaker:ever felt, if you walk into a room, you feel somebody's
Speaker:joy and light? Or have you been so
Speaker:empathetic when you feel somebody else's pain? You know, watching the
Speaker:news, my heart just drops all the time.
Speaker:Hearing of other people's suffering. Well, that's. That's
Speaker:the rule of divine Oneness, that we're all collective.
Speaker:Being you. Yeah, we might live in our own homes and we might live our
Speaker:own lives, but we are connected. And when you think you
Speaker:aren't connected, when you think you're
Speaker:separate, you actually suffer. So the First Law is
Speaker:the divine law of Oneness. The second
Speaker:law, the law of Vibration. I love this one.
Speaker:Everything in the universe moves, vibrates, and
Speaker:travels in circles, circular patterns. Now, this is
Speaker:scientific. It's the law or the principle
Speaker:of vibration. In our physical world,
Speaker:when you're feeling grounded and peaceful, you'll notice
Speaker:that often other people are too. It's like putting
Speaker:on your oxygen mask. When you get grounded and peaceful
Speaker:and centered, then everyone around you
Speaker:does as well. It's about our
Speaker:vibration, our energy. Once again,
Speaker:the connection to others ripples outward, and then
Speaker:they show up in front of us, reflections of our own selves.
Speaker:Our vibration is very
Speaker:resonant with the people's vibration around us. When
Speaker:you elevate your vibration, you will notice
Speaker:that you will attract that same vibration. The law
Speaker:of Vibration. The third law, the law
Speaker:of Correspondence. I learned this from my
Speaker:master teacher in A Course in Miracles. As
Speaker:above, so below. As below, so above.
Speaker:What this really means Is that whatever we see
Speaker:before us is within us. When our
Speaker:inner world is chaotic or cluttered, and
Speaker:it can often be representative in our house,
Speaker:in our lives around us, it's just a reflection
Speaker:of our inner world. I love the analogy
Speaker:of the tree. You know, you have the tree trunk and
Speaker:then you have the branches and then you have the leaves. So it's quite
Speaker:significantly high above the ground. Well, it's
Speaker:actually mirrored under the earth. The
Speaker:root system is a mirror to above the ground.
Speaker:It's as big, it's heavy, it's as full as the
Speaker:tree above the ground. And that's the law of
Speaker:correspondence. What is outside of me
Speaker:is actually a reflection of what's inside of me.
Speaker:I find this is so true when I feel
Speaker:my life getting chaotic or busy or
Speaker:unsettled or unhappy, whatever it is, it's an inside job.
Speaker:I turn inward and work there. And then
Speaker:everything outside it's the ripple seems to
Speaker:follow suit. And I can correct it.
Speaker:Now, the fourth law, the Law of Attraction.
Speaker:Like attracts like. By focusing
Speaker:on positive thoughts, feelings and
Speaker:sensations, positive thoughts, feelings and
Speaker:sensations return to us. It's like a boomerang, right?
Speaker:Whatever you put out comes back to you. Now, this
Speaker:one often is misunderstood. It's not about
Speaker:pretending life is always good. It's about noticing
Speaker:what we're feeding with our attention. Are
Speaker:we planting seeds of faith or seeds of
Speaker:fear? The law of Attraction.
Speaker:We attract what we're thinking of. It's based on
Speaker:manifesting. And I love what Dr. Wayne Dyer says. He says, always
Speaker:live as if your dreams have already been answered. If you
Speaker:say, I am, and you pick this
Speaker:grandiose notion and you're not even
Speaker:living from it. The universe hears not your
Speaker:words, but it hears your vibration. And so whatever
Speaker:we are thinking and believing is what we're
Speaker:attracting. It's not what we're saying.
Speaker:The fifth law, the law of inspired Action.
Speaker:We really want to engage in actions that support our
Speaker:thoughts, dreams, emotions, and words. I can
Speaker:dream about peace all day, but if I don't make
Speaker:time to sit and find stillness and find peace within,
Speaker:it's not going to happen. The lie reminds us to move
Speaker:with intention, to move
Speaker:from inspired action to really believe it
Speaker:and engage in it. And you'll notice that a lot of these
Speaker:laws have similarities because it's all one. It's like
Speaker:a. A package. It's. It. It comes all together.
Speaker:There's separate pieces, but they all support
Speaker:each other. The sixth law, the law of
Speaker:perpetual transmutation of energy. You
Speaker:know, this one is interesting because all people
Speaker:have the power to change the conditions of their
Speaker:lives. I know you may not feel it and it may not be
Speaker:happening in this exact moment, but when we
Speaker:are vibrating at a higher level of vibration
Speaker:of energy than the lower ones, we can change
Speaker:our world around us. Understanding the universal
Speaker:laws and applying these principles in such a way
Speaker:to affect change. So I will give you example.
Speaker:When you are walking in nature,
Speaker:how do you feel? Do you connect with your breath?
Speaker:Do you feel the earth beneath you? Well, we
Speaker:receive that energy. We receive that energy from the
Speaker:universal law of perpetual transmutation
Speaker:of energy. It's feeling, giving
Speaker:and receiving. We are not stuck. Energy can
Speaker:shift. We can shift the energy within us and it can
Speaker:transmute. We have the power to change
Speaker:our circumstances. And one of the best ways to do this
Speaker:is with a state of gratitude. If you're feeling really low
Speaker:and depressed. And this is
Speaker:a technique that I use, I'll stop and I think, oh, okay, I'm
Speaker:going down that dark tunnel. I don't want to do that.
Speaker:Let's shift. I'm going to think of three things I'm grateful
Speaker:for. And I kind of baby step
Speaker:myself towards shifting my energy,
Speaker:transmuting the energy into more positivity,
Speaker:into more light.
Speaker:Number seven, the law of cause and effect. Every
Speaker:action has a reaction or consequence.
Speaker:We reap what we sow. You know that saying which I don't really love? We
Speaker:reap what we sow, but what we send out comes back
Speaker:to us. There is a cause and effect of everything that you
Speaker:do. And sometimes those are really
Speaker:super hard lessons, let me tell you.
Speaker:But I really come to know, believe and
Speaker:witness in my own life that what I do
Speaker:has a consequence. As a school
Speaker:teacher, I tried to even show this in my students. And we
Speaker:can't save everybody. If somebody makes a really
Speaker:detrimental error, there's going to be an effect.
Speaker:If we try to save the person, we're actually going against
Speaker:this law, the law of cause and effect. We're trying to
Speaker:manipulate the universal laws. We're trying to
Speaker:manipulate spirit or source or the
Speaker:universe. And really it's not our journey, it's other
Speaker:people's journey. And whatever happens, whatever
Speaker:we're doing or other people are doing, it has an effect.
Speaker:And it's not always instant, it
Speaker:can take a while. But I do believe it
Speaker:unfolds. And life listens. When you
Speaker:are kind, when you share a kind word,
Speaker:you are planting a seed and that returns back to
Speaker:you. Number eight, the law of
Speaker:compensation. I believe that the
Speaker:Universe, it wasn't a gate. Gabriel Bernstein
Speaker:said the universe has our back. I do. I believe it. I
Speaker:believe the universe wants what's good for us, wants what's good
Speaker:for everybody, wants us to feel
Speaker:blessed, abundant, to feel joy.
Speaker:The law of compensation isn't just about money.
Speaker:Sometimes it's a moment of deep connection, an
Speaker:unexpected act of grace or quiet inner knowing
Speaker:that you are on the right path. The universe finds its
Speaker:way to share abundance with you when you open
Speaker:yourself up to it. If you have this victim
Speaker:mentality, then you are not
Speaker:welcoming this law of abundance, of compensation,
Speaker:of wanting just extra goodness
Speaker:come to you, Number nine, the law of
Speaker:relativity. This is not easy,
Speaker:and you may not even believe in this. But if you believe
Speaker:that we come into this lifetime
Speaker:with lessons that we need to learn, this is the law.
Speaker:This is what it's about. It's that we're getting tested.
Speaker:And it's like what I said before, what we. We
Speaker:repeat what we don't repair. And it first
Speaker:comes in a whisper and then it gets stronger.
Speaker:And if we're not listening, it gets stronger and stronger until it almost
Speaker:has to hit us on the head for us to pay attention.
Speaker:So challenges are very brutal. They're
Speaker:very hard, they're not easy. No one wants them, no
Speaker:one wishes for them. But they aren't punishments,
Speaker:they are invitations. And if we can meet
Speaker:them with a deeper sense of knowing,
Speaker:attention, intention, and I would add compassion,
Speaker:then we can move beyond them and maybe heal
Speaker:what keeps on circling in up in our life,
Speaker:right? The law of relativity. It's that a
Speaker:series of problems keep on coming to us
Speaker:and strengthening in intensity until we
Speaker:deal with them. It's not easy. We're always
Speaker:pushing away uncomfortable. But the invitation
Speaker:here is to notice it, be with it, and
Speaker:move beyond it if it's available to you.
Speaker:Number 10, the law of polarity. Light,
Speaker:dark, love, fear,
Speaker:happy, sad. Everything has an opposite.
Speaker:We wouldn't even know joy unless we knew
Speaker:sa sadness or suffering. It's only in the
Speaker:polarity that we really understand the
Speaker:grandiose of that state. You know,
Speaker:if you are in the depths of despair or
Speaker:a negative feeling, and then you come out of it,
Speaker:wow, it is so bright on the
Speaker:other side. And it's so bright on the other side
Speaker:because you saw the darkness. It's like if I
Speaker:live in Canada, in the northern hemisphere, our winters
Speaker:are quite intense. I am so grateful,
Speaker:so thrilled and so happy for spring and summer
Speaker:because I know the cold, I know what it feels like.
Speaker:So the law of Polarity is that there's always an
Speaker:opposite. And where we put our focus in
Speaker:grows. Where attention goes, energy flows. I
Speaker:always say if I'm guiding movement through yoga, where
Speaker:attention goes, energy flows. Even in your mindset.
Speaker:Number 11, the law of rhythm. Everything
Speaker:vibrates and moves to certain rhythms, right?
Speaker:We. All we have to do is pay attention to the natural
Speaker:world, our Earth. There's seasons, there's cycles, there's
Speaker:moon cycles there, there's the sun, there's sunset,
Speaker:sunrise. Everything has a rhythm.
Speaker:Each cycle represents the universe.
Speaker:And the universe knows
Speaker:there's wisdom. There's wisdom to be found in the cycle
Speaker:of the Earth. And if we honor that, then we can find
Speaker:and fall into that wisdom and that grace
Speaker:that nature puts forward before us.
Speaker:And we can follow through it with a rhythm that is sacred and
Speaker:true. Better than we could ever figure out.
Speaker:And the last law, number 12, the law of gender.
Speaker:Now, this doesn't mean girl and boy, right? It's
Speaker:much broader. It means masculine the
Speaker:Yang and feminine the yin. Right? It's having
Speaker:those energies, the masculine and the feminine. And as
Speaker:spiritual beings, we balance the masculine and
Speaker:feminine energies within ourselves to
Speaker:become whole. We have that Ying and the Yang, Ying and the Yang.
Speaker:Doing and the being, the structure and the flow.
Speaker:We need both. Both are divine. And
Speaker:when they're in balance, we feel connected,
Speaker:we feel whole, and we feel grounded.
Speaker:Those are the basic of the 12 universal laws.
Speaker:Some may resonate deeper with you than others,
Speaker:but I'm sure you are nodding your head, yeah,
Speaker:that one kind of feel. I can see that. Or maybe not so
Speaker:much the other. You don't have to believe
Speaker:everything that's out there, but just pondering
Speaker:it, just opening our present perspective in mindfulness
Speaker:is called the beginner's mind. Just looking at it
Speaker:with new eyes can give us a different perspective.
Speaker:And know that that different perspective can
Speaker:be a guide as we move forward and as we navigate through
Speaker:our life. Because once again, we are the
Speaker:ripple. What we do has an effect.
Speaker:And what we vibrate at and how we think
Speaker:and how we behave. I often also say
Speaker:that even what you say in your mind
Speaker:can have an effect. You don't even have to say it out loud
Speaker:for it to ripple. The universe hears our vibration,
Speaker:not our audible words. I hope
Speaker:you found this helpful. Really pay attention
Speaker:to how you're living. Your thoughts, your feelings,
Speaker:your reactions, your words. Being more mindful
Speaker:can create a beautiful ripple outward. And
Speaker:we could all probably agree that our world
Speaker:could use more conscientious and thoughtful
Speaker:actions that reflect more loving and
Speaker:kind thoughts. So from my heart to yours,
Speaker:namaste. My dear friends.
