Ego vs. Self
Ego in conflict with what I call SELF (Simultaneously Evolving Life Form) has been a source of confusion for many as to what exactly is involved in the struggle. The confusion lies in the fact that Ego feels it must display its mastery over our logic systems.
Ego is supposed to be a defense mechanismdesigned to filter information and act as a "censor" in the event we encounter such trauma that may threaten our psychological health. Unfortunately Ego has grown to love its position of power and fears the growing power of Self that it senses within.
Another way to look at this is the ego lives within the mind, which is what you fuel your life with. The Spirit lives in your heart which is what you attract to your life. Are you using the fuel to manifest your hearts desires?
Fear
By observing our Self-propelled particles of fear, we have the opportunity to not let them coagulate and thicken upon our cloak of darkness that hides our light, but to cleanse them into shining examples or even release them to allow them to do what they may elsewhere.
Many have been taught to release fear but often do not realize the influence of these particles and the speed they move at to "fix" this crack in the fold replacing it with these tiny, seemingly irrelevant particles.
By learning to observe these small fears, we are able to help facilitate the re-emergence of the light body that lies beneath and the real cloak of light that has always been the true provider of warmth on our life journey.
Prayer and Trust
What you send out is what you get back. Energy always finds its way back to its source for ultimate fulfillment. And prayer is a very powerful source of energy. People pray for things they want, be it for others or themselves... it makes no difference. When you pray for "something," aren't you essentially saying, “I don't have”…”I’m afraid I won't have”... “Please don't let me be without”?
We tend to pray in negatives... so what happens... we have energized the negative, and that is more than likely what comes back to us... the true core of the prayer. And then we blame God because our truest feeling within, which was the lack of what we desired, manifested itself.
Topics Covered in Week 2
Healing and the Inner Child
Simply defined, healing is a process of releasing. When we store things inside of ourselves, we create illness, both physical and mental (such as depression). Some of these things that are hiding within ourselves come from prior lifetimes, and we carried them into this lifetime to deal with.
As you begin to meditate and find communion with the world of Spirit, you will see that you start naturally to begin to release things from within and the healing process comes with ease.
Healing yourself is a natural process. It does take time, patience, and trust in the universe and what they are showing you, but as you continue to commune, you will see more and more of your fears and hurts released.
The Challenge of Self-love
Do you feel it is much easier to love someone other than yourSelf? Why do you think that is? Is it that your really think other people are more lovable than you are, or is it that you feel selfish loving yourSelf above anyone else?
The most essential element of our awakening journey is to embrace ourselves. To love ourself (our whole self) with the same unconditional love that we give to our Creator. You will also find that your whole view of love changes as you embrace your own incredible love of yourSelf.
Unconditional Love and Non-judgment
We live deeply in conditional love. Even if we do not speak it out loud.... we condition our love, right down to the simplest thing.
If we really are brutally honest with ourselves (and to fully awaken to your fullest potential, you do have to be brutally honest with yourSelf)... we have conditioned our love for ages.
Do not look at this as good or bad. It is a causality of the human condition...of living. It is what we have learned up until now. It is what we have come to expect for and from love.
Judgment:
Which brings me to judgment. We have learned to judge and condemn almost from birth.
I would like to note that this unconditional, non-judgmental love does not mean that anyone should become a doormat for the world to step on. Not at all. Build your loving boundaries. Understand that others have their own lessons to work through. Their lessons are not your lessons. Remember that. This will allow you to be tolerant and non-judgmental without allowing other’s issues or lessons to affect you. This is your personal power. Your personal space of unconditional love of yourSelf that spreads outward in harmony with others.
You will be surprised at how this ALL ties into what you "took in" as a child.
Topics Covered in Week 3
Spiritual Guides and Teachers
There are three forces that are always present and helping us: Our spiritual guides, our spiritual teachers, and our higherSelf or soul energy.
Spiritual Guides:
Our spiritual guides have been with us since before we were born into this physical life. They know our life plan better than we do (since they are not clothed in matter and have no ego to distract them). They know what we planned for ourselves in this lifetime, the experiences we wished to experience, and the goals we wished to achieve.
If you really want to understand unconditional love and non-judgment, meet your guides. They are exquisite! Their patience will confound you (at least it did me).
Spiritual Teachers:
Our spiritual teachers are a bit different. Our teachers are only with us when we need their wisdom. They help us develop whatever their chosen aspect is. They come for as long as we need them to be there, then they leave. That is not to say they will not return if we still seek their teachings or friendship, but there will be a time when we have learned what we needed, and they will allow us to fully grow into that area of our life on our own two feet. This is both a joyous and sad occasion. If you are like me, you will form a deeply loving bond with these magnificent beings, and miss them when they leave. (I do not want to imply they just turn their backs on us. They never would, but eventually their presence is less and less when we begin using our own resources and wisdom to implement their teachings.)
HigherSelf:
As we grow to communicate with our guides and teachers, something magical starts to happen. Suddenly it seems we are no longer calling on our guides, because now we just know what needs to be done. Our movement becomes very sure and purposeful. We no longer hesitate and question. The Song of the Universe is played in every molecule of our being and we hear it! We do not even think we are listening and yet we can hear it all. We just know. That is because, while our guides were guiding and our teachers were teaching, our higherSelf or soul energy was settling into its rightful home (that ninety percent of our brain that was not being used).
Karma - What is Karma and how can we clear all Karmic Debt in this lifetime!
Also, understanding how you are creating karma in every moment, with every thought, word and deed. It used to be we had lifetimes to clear our karma now, we barely have weeks. There is an energy that propels the karmic vibration of your life, we will talk in depth on what this means, and how to make sure you are creating the highest and best karma for yourself.
Understanding the Concept of Time.
I am sure you have noticed that time is passing by so fast any more. This is affecting you in so many ways. What if, we can actually slow the aging processing by understanding our (not real) connection to time.
Déjà vu
Have you ever started doing something and had the feeling that every movement of what you were doing was done already, somewhere, at some other time? You can almost second guess what is going to happen next because you feel like you have already experienced this. This is what is known as déjà vu.
Déjà vu is a form of subtle memory recall. This memory stems from the time you were still in spirit and planning this lifetime. From the Life Selection Area, you and your spiritual team chose your body, family, and experiences for this incarnation.
Topics Covered in Week 4
Ascension and Your Changing World
The one thing that will always remain true, no matter what path a person is on, is that “like attracts like.” As you start to explore and develop that spiritual aspect of yourSelf, you will find yourSelf seeking out more and more of like minds. Not only will you be seeking others out, others will equally be seeking you.
You may even find that your entire (or close to entire) realm of past or current friends or relationships no longer fit into your new emerging world of Self-discovery. These people whom you may have been very close to at one time may seem to fade into the background of the tapestry of your life. Please know and rest assured this is all perfectly natural.
As you change, the world around you changes also. It is the Law of Nature. As you begin to raise your vibration (energy level), you naturally seek out those who vibrate at the same rate of frequency that you do.
Law of Attraction and Magnification
Our minds are powerful entities. What we "think" truly becomes what "is" in our reality, but we need all the pieces of the puzzle of "awareness" to create the harmony of mind, body, and Spirit that we desire. I believe that the largest puzzle pieces come from the habitual way we think.
Choosing spiritual awareness is a way of life. It is not something we can practice an hour or two each day and expect major changes. We change our awareness as we change the way we perceive life and the way we react to it. It is a learned behavior, a way of life, and achieved differently in each individual.
Helping you to choose and live within your own awareness is my goal.
Thoughts are a powerful tool in the journey toward one-ness. Negative thoughts, self-doubt, excessive (and usually needless) worry, and depression can destroy your health and your attitudes. I can teach you to release negative thoughts.
Taking Back Your Personal Power
For as long as we have been alive we have been programmed to "give away" bits and pieces of ourselves. Just think of these simple phrases: "Give all you have;" Put all your have into your relationship, job, family..." eventually, we get exhausted, sick, lost and so on. We will discuss in depth and then do a quick group meditation to teach you how to start reclaiming your own personal power and put it all back into its rightful place... WITHIN YOU!!
Topics Covered in Week 5
Living within the New Energy of Earth
So much has already changed energetically on planet earth. What worked for us yesterday... is no longer working for us today... and the one thing we can pretty much count on... it will more than likely change again tomorrow!
So how do we keep up... and find the joy and excitement of what is really happening on planet earth? Understanding what is really happening is key.
Second: The earth is absorbing tremendous amounts of light energy from solar storms and solar flares which means she also has to release all the old energy - I will explain what to watch out for in class
Third: We are ALL being asked to live differently... to move out of the "I" or "me" agenda and be in the "Us" and "we" energy. In order to make this shift, you MUST intigrate that ego from fear to cooperation with your spirit. We will talk about what that even means and how to do it in class.
Group Hypnosis - Past Life Regression
See what you may have brought into this lifetime with you to accomplish and/or overcome? You don't have to believe in past lives to have this experience, many people have stated they do not believe in reincarnation and yet, had a past life experience with hypnosis.
Although we play many parts in our life times that we live, there is usually a continuing story that plays out. Some people need to remember their forgiveness divinity, so they place themselves in lifetimes where they get hurt or are physically harmed to encourage the role of forgiveness. Perhaps self love is a concurrent them, and your mission in this life is to fall deeply in-love with yourself.
After the Past Life Regression hypnosis session we will talk about what everyone has experienced and see what themes are still playing out in this lifetime, and how to start to finally put an end to that theme! This can be a very therapeutic session for anyone who is struggling with any aspect of their lives.
The Spiritual Empowerment Course is designed to help each person:
- Remove blocks that may hinder your personal progress. We carry a lot of baggage with us as we move through life. That baggage consists of past experiences that we hold on to. The more baggage we have, the "heavier" life becomes not to mention illness and dis-ease can set in. We need to move through these blocks (baggage), understand what purpose they served in our life, bless the experience(s), and then release them. Each time we remove a blockage (and some are pretty deeply embedded) we can literally feel our bodies becoming lighter and healthier. I can "see" the areas of your bodies that contain blocks. It is up to you to understand and acknowledge these blocks and release them.
- Understand exactly how the Mind - Body - Soul work together. There is an amazing process happening between our spiritual bodies, our physical bodies and our minds (which actually have two levels, physical mind and spiritual mind). When you completely understand how the three work together you will fully understand why your life is the way it is and know how to change it to how you desire your life to be.
- Understand lessons of your past (in this life) and the value those lessons bring to your awakening journey. Part of our incarnation process includes continuing to work through those things we have not worked out in prior lifetimes and bring into this lifetime. I can help you understand what some of those issues are, but I want you to learn how to tap into your own energy system and truly understand what it is you are seeing and feeling, so that you may understand clearly what you need to address and how to change it.
- Understand how various people and situations have played a key role in this life. The people who have graced (or seemingly tormented) your life are all there for a reason. When we can look at all our relationships for the lessons they give to us, we can then learn to appreciate all the relationships we have (both past and present) and learn to better deal with and understand those relationships yet to come. This helps us to remove judgment from our life. When we stop judging others, we can more easily move into unconditional love.
- Attain the level of meditation to speak openly with your Spiritual Guides, Higher Self and God/Creator. One of the greatest assets we can have in our earth walk (life) is open communication with our Spiritual Guides and teachers. Every person alive has the ability to commune with these loving and most patient beings. They (your guides) will move Heaven and earth to open up direct communication with you in the way that is best for you to hear them (i.e., dreams, meditation, etc.). We are unique individuals, and what works for one does not always work for another. Finding your way is essential and removes frustration from trying someone else's way that simply may not work for you.
- Experience the validation process that Spirit uses to help you embrace the changes that come with awakening. Spirit is constantly letting you know what you should or should not be doing. They (your Spiritual Guides) make their presence known in such a powerful yet subtle way that most people miss the communication. Spirit is truly everywhere! All you have to do is understand how Spirit talks to you and the vehicles they use to speak. You will then see that validation is everywhere and that your questions are always answered.
- Understand what your dreams really mean. Dreams are a very powerful source of communication from Spirit. Sleep is a time when your conscious mind is fully relaxed and Spirit can come through with vital information and guidance for you. Understanding what your dreams really mean and how to take the guidance (and at times, forewarning) from them will help you through any dilemma you may be facing.
- Understand the universal language of Spirit, to feel and know what Spirit says in dreams and meditations. The "universal language” comes in symbolisms and metaphors. Spirit speaks with these things directly to you in your dreams and more than likely in your meditations. Learning how to relate and interpret this language as Spirit is presenting it to you is vital for your continued guidance and determines what you will openly receive. I will help you to understand this language and relate it to your personal life.
- Discover the amazing abilities within that await self-discovery. We ALL possess a sixth sense. We all have those special qualities that help us connect to our Higher Self and the higher realms. Not one person has been shortchanged in this area. It is just a matter of discovering your most powerful way of connecting and what other pathways lie asleep within you waiting to be discovered.
- Learn how to use your abilities for your best good. There is not a pathway that is hidden to us. There are no choices within that are kept secret. The moment you begin to change your approach to life, every good thing starts rushing towards you to celebrate in that change. Your health in both body and mind will improve, your relationships will improve, your finances will improve.... all because you changed your Self interaction with life - Your Creation within Creation!
- Learn much more. Learning to live a life without judging others will create within yourself your truest nature. That nature is of unconditional love. Learning how to integrate your ego into your spiritual development is one of the biggest keys to successful and full integration. When you start projecting yourself from the vantage point of unconditional love without judgment, you will find that your whole world will change. People (relationships) who no longer serve your highest good seem to fall away. What your heart yearned for yesterday may not seem to make sense today. Understanding all this as you move forward in the most magical time−and often painful times−will help you to move forward with ease and trust.

hi Lisa,
Just wanted to share some exciting news. I have my blood drawn every 3 months because of my sickness & it has been so out of whack in the past. Well, as you know, I have been feeling soooo much better since I started my "learning". I was quite curious to see the results this time around. They came this morning, all 100% normal, not even close to high or low ends of abnormal!!!! So, I am ecstatic that I truly am healing on all levels!! Thank you my dear friend for your help to me and my guides!
Lots of Love And Respect,
Chris
You say things that are profound to development and not just 'you are right where you are supposed to be' which you have said but you back it up with so much more - that is much needed.
I just feel you are a REAL teacher and should be commended. I know we are not supposed to be swayed by compliments but it is just nice to know all the same and you must know how many people you are helping .
I just want to commend you for being the wonderful spirit you are and for helping esp ME.
Thank you so much Master!

Hi Lisa,
I went into the computer to type yesterday's second door meditation since I was too "loopy" to do it yesterday... As I typed... "This time, I was ok and didn't need my two guides at my side." !!!!!!!!!!!! I thought..."Oh my God. First door, my two guides, one on each side, were with me cause I was scared. Second door, I meet three others, and while I didn't’ feel I really knew them I just knew they knew me...very well.
What is so great is you told me about 2 guides and 3 teachers AFTER I did the meditation BUT BEFORE I told you I had met three "beings/people." I had emailed you the first door meditation, but if I didn't even remember the two guides who joined me, I really doubt that you did.
This is so great that it all happened this way for me (planned I am sure) so that I can see how REAL what you learn/see and do in meditation really is???!!!! Rather than me have shared those with you and THEN you say..."oh yes..you have two guides and three teachers...." Would have not been so...well ya know...kinda more like "parlor trickery..."
Absolutely blowing my mind...Two guides...Three teachers...appeared just because I went inside of myself...got quiet...and explored...WOW!

Hi Lisa,
I think my requesting a reading with you happened for a reason..a very GOOD reason. It's like simultaneously, things started coming together. You made me think. You literally made me dream- lol. YOU have a GIFT.
Since our conversations, I have had the dream. I belong to a quote a day email list and every quote has related to my current situation. I listened to music yesterday...specifically "Stairway to Heaven". The lyrics blew me away..I had never listened to the lyrics. Before I go to sleep at night I get messages.
I am seriously plugged in right now.
I have always been frustrated by the fact that I knew spirit was there, but there was what felt like a brick wall between me and the messages for me. I'm getting them. I'm finally open enough to get them. I get all kinds of signs..I just never knew it.
I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. You will never know what a difference you made in my life.
HUGS, Marie

A note from Lisa Gawlas:
First let me thank you for finding your way to this page. I assure you, it was not by accident. Your HigherSelf / Soul Essence led you here because it is time for you to change your mind, which in turns changes your life. I am not looking to have "curiosity seekers" within this class. This class is here for those who are tired of being afraid, of feeling pain in their physical bodies or in their hearts. I assure you, YOU DO THE WORK and you will NEVER be sick again, you will NEVER Feel sadness again. All of your relationships will be healthy and centered. However, I can give you all the tools in the world to transform your life, but, at the end of the day, it is up to YOU to use the tools and apply the wisdom that will be shared with you over the 8 life changing weeks of this course.
Every single aspect of your life, the good, the bad and the perceived ugly, you created! If you are ill, you choose the illness to help you understand where you need to heal emotionally. If you are lacking in finances, it is because you feel unworthy of abundance, and more than likely, somewhere in the recesses of your mind, you feel that life is not about having money (many religions even teach this un-truth). If you seem to be constantly seeking a wonderful relationship but end up in sour grapes, you have attracted those sour grapes to you. The reasons why are as unique as you are and I could list many various reasons, but I would prefer to get specific within the course.
Altho you will be in a group setting, I know from teaching this course for the last 6 years, everyone is on a different point in their path of awakening and Self discovery. So what I am giving you is an outline of the course, but due to group synergy, we may (actually we probably will) stray of topic to reach other topics that are of more importance for the group or individual. We humans want everything laid out in a specific formula, well, spirit doesn't work like that.
In each class you can ask questions, what I do not already have an answer for, spirit will give us. I am intricately connected to spirit at all times. The majority of the time, it is really spirit teaching you this course, I am simply the mouth piece spirit uses to share the information you need. This means, I get to learn thru your questions as well.
This course is exciting and challenging all at the same time. I promise to be available to you thru out the week to help you should you need the additional help. I also promise you that by the end of the course, your life will never be the same again!! I soooo look forward to walking this part of your life's journey with you!
With so much love and excitement to each of you,
Namaste,
Lisa Gawlas - Have questions?? email me at lisagawlas@gmail.com

Topics Covered on Week 1:
Understanding how your body works
Your body is made up of energy, pure and simple. Yet, the energy body is usually not even addressed in a persons life. When a person is depressed, we look at the mind not the energy manipulating the mind. When the body is sick or hurt, we treat the area, and don't even consider the energy powering up the sickness or pain. We will go over exactly how your body
is fueled, how to choose which fuel to run your body with and learn how to light up (or turn on) your inner light body (which sits in the core of each cell in your phyical body.)
