Spiritually Curious?
Serious Seeker?
One Less-Traveled Road promises to help you answer:
What do I do - now that I'm waking-up?
So you can transform chaos into a peace-filled life.
Hi ... I'm Luanne Ebert
Just so you know ...
- I never retreated into a cave in the Himalayas
- I never became the disciple of a guru
- I never followed a spiritual course of study in traditional academia
I'm an ordinary person. A university graduate - who quietly pursued a promising career ... until an irreversible awakening blindsided me.
And -
A decision loomed.
I could follow the arc of my long career track - or, immerse myself in the teachings my awakening had waiting for me.
I chose the road less traveled.
Wonder What Walking the Spiritual Talk is Like?
Hour after hour ...
You free yourself of useless thoughts.
Day-after-day ...
You start all over again. Year-after-year ... you trudge on -
Until -
You climb beyond the chaos. Beyond your crazy-making voice; beyond anything ever imagined you dare expect of yourself ...
While -
Slipping into a deeper truth. The truth inside an insight. An insight that telegraphs: All is well with the world!
And wonder ...
What makes me different?
Even unique?
In your darkest moment, time of deepest despair - you dare look the impossible in the eye. Listen for the space between the words ... until you hear its insight whisper -
And. You. Press. On.
Experience Makes a Difference
The Conversation
I observe
how sincere and
thoughtful you are
when contemplating
issues and responses.
You say just what you mean to say.
You have a gift
for getting to the core
of matters. You make them
so accessible by phrasing them in simplistic ways even though
those meanings are
not simplistic.

My Story
An Unlikely Beginning
I'm an everyday ordinary person. Like so many, I tapped in-and-out of my fascination with spirituality for years. Read a book now-and-then; attended a lecture here-and-there - or, weekend retreat.
I'm a university graduate who ended up in my first passion - computer engineering. Then evolved into the business side; advanced in management ... until blindsided by an irreversible awakening.
And stunned, by the dilemma at the fork-in-the-road. On the one hand, I could stay on the traditional career track. On the other hand, follow my - as yet - uncharted spiritual trail wherever it might lead.
I chose the less traveled road.
My Journey as a (Serious) Spiritual Seeker
During those early transition years my focus was: How do healers heal? I wasn't interested in the miracles. I wanted to know: How do healers do what they do ... on the inside.
Eventually, I became a professional healer; pioneered the first-known Spirit-Mind-Body approach called Unconditional Healing. My healing skills matured. So did my deep disappointment ... clients relied more on me than their own innate ability.
So, I Set Out Again ...
This time -
I wanted to know: How can I empower others to accept more responsibility for their personal well-being?
It wasn't long before I licensed as a spiritual counselor. Discovered the essential core - of both innate-healing and spiritual-counseling - to be the same: love is the healer. So, love-as-healer became the uniting transferrable skill - and foundation of my practice. So did my approach …
- Accept each person as they are
- Trust everyone's worldview is right for their circumstance at this moment in time
- Trust in the innate ability of others - that chooses the right time to transform challenges
Clients woke-up. So did audiences ... astonished to discover how quickly loving-kindness can easily transmute chaos into peace. And I, just as surprised when dubbed: The Good Listening-Ear Who Heals with Words.
As Time Went On ...
I began to wonder -
Can I share the same innate abilities - that transform chaos into peace - with anyone in the world ... no matter where on earth they live?
So I set out once more. This time, I immersed myself in a tiny little European village - 342 inhabitants at the time. Rubbed shoulders with Europeans, Hungarians, Croatians, Serbs, Englanders, Poles, Syrians, Congolese, Ukrainians, Iranians ... casually and on the street -
Only to discover for myself the truth of that age-old wisdom: loving-kindness is universal ... it's only us human beings that block the flow.
Today ...
Some 40-years after my free-and-adventuresome curiosity began to take hold ... I'm an eyewitness to the earth's spiritual makeover -
And - an eternal optimist.
When others stop to ask: What do I do - now that I'm waking-up? I see the same longing when I first started out. Then remember how lonely it felt - abandoned by
a world that couldn't understand. And, no recourse except go kicking and screaming - to uncover the milestones on my own.
So today, I share the stories I yearned for - deeper meanings I craved - to help others discover what might be useful on their road to waking-up.
The insights I needed along my journey.
My Guiding Principles
In the world of spirituality - it's just as easy to lose your path as find it.
Here's the focus that keeps me on course:
When bad things happen ... I REMIND MYSELF:
- Spirituality is a choice
- Choosing the spiritual fork-in-the-road takes courage
- Courage lets the deepest part of life lead me instead
When aggravation threatens to derail me ... I REMIND MYSELF:
- Free will determines the decision I make
- Decisions have consequences
- Consequences promise to lead to greater happiness - or, not
Whether I succeed - or, fail ... I REMIND MYSELF:
- Experience is my teacher
- Perseverance chisels the experience into an outcome
- Outcomes wake me up into the person I become
Now that I'm called a Spiritual Elder - what do I hope to accomplish?
Inspire everyone around me through insights I share; actions I take; and most importantly - happiness I give freely.
