“Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her empty his heart . . . because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
About Loralee J Scobie
For over 2 decades, Loralee Scobie has been professionally working with energy and helping women (and men) embrace the power of their own being. Loralee started her career as a registered social worker but always knew through her own childhood experiences with spirit that we are all more powerful than we know.
As a Reiki Master/teacher Loralee offers training in Reiki (Japanese healing art) and in meditation. Loralee is a firm believer to be an authentic teacher of Reiki one must work with Reiki daily (either on self or others), for the Reiki energy is the true teacher. In her full-time practice Scobie offers in person and distance (via facetime or zoom) treatments on demand.
Loralee believes that meditation is the foundation to all spiritual practices and should be incorporated into ones’ daily routine. She offers group training online and in person, where she teaches not only how to meditate, but how to create your own meditation practice. Loralee also provides a unique service where she will compose/record a personal meditation just for you, relevant to what you are working on healing in your life.
As a certified hypnotherapist Loralee has helped many clients young and older on how to use hypnotherapy to overcome obstacles in this lifetime. These sessions can be shared either in person or on zoom/facetime.
Loralee is the published author of her first book titled A New Normal-A Grieving Mother’s Journey from Loss to Healing. In this narrative Scobie shares what it took to move her through her grief and to go on to live a life of purpose, following the death of her daughter. She also shares what is and isn’t helpful for grieving parents and how others can best support the bereaved. Loralee can be booked as a guest speaker and welcomes the opportunity to read from her book and sign copies.
2024 Fall Newsletter
Ever since I wrote my book A New Normal, A Grieving Mother’s Journey from Loss to Healing, I have felt compelled and called to embark on a career of Grief Counselling. In keeping with my holistic approach, I intend to incorporate Reiki, meditation and Hypno-therapy, as an adjunct to conventional therapy. I’m excited for this new chapter in my career and know that this is part of my soul’s journey.
A New Normal
A Grieving Mother’s Journey From Loss To Healing
Mothers who have lived through the death of a child understand one another like nobody else possibly can; they have a connection at a primal level. What’s more, the death of your child is an unnatural order of life events, causing a daily struggle to make sense of it.
In her book A New Normal, Loralee Scobie shares one mother’s account of learning to live again following the accidental death of her twenty-four-year-old daughter, Sara. Writing from her soul, describing how she came to sit with her grief and not run from it and, in doing so, began to heal. Loralee shares journal entries from three years of writing to her deceased daughter. Though she didn’t realize it at the time, writing began the process of finding her new normal. This is not a how-to-book or an explanation of the stages of grief; rather, it is a peek inside a mother’s broken heart and what it took to move through all the feelings that accompany loss.
Breathing in, I am aware of my heart. Breathing out, I smile to my heart and know that my heart still functions normally. I feel grateful for my heart.
Thich Nhat Hanh
A Meditation for the Anxious Mind
Loralee Scobie understands that many individuals are suffering with anxiety today and our “fight or flight” response is in overdrive. In her own personal practice, Loralee believes that meditation has been an antidote for anxiety. Many studies also support this belief.
She humbly offers this complimentary, intentionally short meditation to demonstrate to you how simple meditation can be and that you can do this anywhere at anytime.
Enjoy!
Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware
