Transforming Knowledge into Wisdom
Knowledge is something that comes from outside of you. Wisdom is something that comes from inside of you.
When you are learning you are gathering knowledge. Then, there is a magical process where that knowledge transforms into wisdom and you own it from the inside out.
Learn how to transform knowledge into wisdom…
Transforming knowledge into wisdom is the journey of embodying what you’ve learned and making it your own.
Here are 4 steps to Transform any Knowledge you’ve gathered into Wisdom.
Step 1: Let it in
When you are gathering knowledge you are in the learning stage. The most powerful thing you can do during this stage is let it in. Allow yourself to listen, receive and absorb what you are learning.
Think of something you are learning right now, are you letting it in?
Step 2: Try it on
As you gather knowledge you need to try it on. Put the knowledge into practice and make it relevant in your life. This stage is about implementing what you are learning.
Where can you put some knowledge into practice?
Step 3: Make it your own
When you put knowledge into practice you build a solid foundation to stand on. That foundation gives you the freedom to express yourself and add your unique creative flair.
Where can you add your own unique creative flair to something you’ve learned?
Step 4: Embody what you’ve learned
When you embody knowledge you have transformed it into wisdom. This is the stage where you fully understand what you’ve learned and you have made it your own. You understand it inside and out!
Where in your life have you fully embodied knowledge and transformed it into wisdom?
*I would love to hear about how you have transformed knowledge into wisdom in your life! Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.

I want to first Congratulate you and your amazing team. This is a true work of art and I have such admiration and appreciation for what you created here, but not just the end result, the entire process and video with your dad building the frame work…it is nothing short of MAGNIFICENT!

Breath taking – my deepest love and admiration to you Laura – you never cease to amaze me with your capacity to create ever more astonishingly beautiful creations that exquisitely express in a multidimensional way all that you desire to message out into the world. You are absolutely one of a kind and make being unique and special into high art with every breath you take and every move you make. I am HONORED and deeply appreciative that you have received and transmuted the wisdom/knowledge that I had to share with you into something so magnificent. You are truly one of the most EMPOWERED Messengers I have ever seen! Thank you for being a part of my world – you consistently make it a better place to be!
With deep gratitude and love,

I love this Laura. It’s such a simple and profoundly true and beautiful message!
In watching and reading, I realized that this is the exact process I take in my own life and with clients, I just never clarified the 4 steps. And, I find when any of these steps is missing, the wisdom tower has nothing to stand on.
AWESOME!

A very profound creation. Thank you for sharing! I really needed this. You are wonderful example of living through your knowledge, wisdom and then your own life giving creations. Your sowing of seeds of these creations are a blessing to the world. Thank you again for your gifts and the staff…Applause for their part.

From a screenplay of mine: ‘Wisdom’s not in the knowing…it’s in the doing.’

I loved the interplay between the gushing and the containment. What an exquisite on, this wisdom dance! I couldn’t help thinking how your name shines so brightly on many of our own lists of teachers and influencers. *Namaste*
March 11th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Exquisite combination of nature and (wo)man redefined. Thank you for your wondrous joyous self!
March 11th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
Awesome, Laura!
I’m wondering if you or anyone else can see the face in the CDs at the bottom of your dress?
Really beautiful.
March 11th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Gorgeous! Many elements are present, water, air, rocks, trees, earth, and wisdom.
March 11th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
I look forward to your videos and wise words–there is nothing else like it anywhere.
Thank you for sharing your insight and creativity–you are an inspiration to us all!
We so need the embodied feminine at this time in our world–Blessings to you.

That dress was worth the wait. Your creativity is inspiring to watch, Laura!!
March 11th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
This was such a pertinenet message for me right now Laura. I was thinking that if I used what I have learned from other people, that I would be “scamming” off them. But I guess that when I have embodied it and live it, it becomes my own, with my own special flair and experiences. Thank you.
March 11th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Nothing short of AMAZING!!!!…The four stages are
very well written. You have just helped me to put
into words a journey that I have been on and am now
expressing & experiencing the embodiment of the WISDOM
gained. I express this wisdom gained of self discovery
through dancing and movement. Thank you so much for
sharing your journey as it has brought conscious awareness
to my own journey of truth.
In light and love,
Arlene

Laura, amazing and inspiring Laura. This must be the most incredible creation I have seen. My heart glowed, my adrenaline rose, my soul vibrated with light. Your creation is magnificent. The more I watch and witness your journey, the more belief I have in the journey for all people, all creatives, all those who are temporarily lost.
It also really warmed my heart that your father partnered you with the construction. Very special and powerful.
With love and gratitude,

This is magnificent. You really are very inspirational. Now all I have to do is act on it! Thanks so much for sharing YOUR wisdom.
With appreciation and love,

Laura, the Divine creativity that you embody is such an inspiration. For me transforming knowledge into wisdom is the embodiment that you demonstrate. I learn best by listening and writing and then integration through those two means. Honoring how you learn individually is the first step to becoming the wisdom you allow into your consciousness. Much Love, Rebecca
March 12th, 2012 at 12:02 am
Wow, Laura. Honored to be included in your creation.
March 12th, 2012 at 1:11 am
So beautiful! And the metaphor very inspiring… Thank you.

what fluid elegance of this new creation – including the running water! thank you, amazing inspiring Laura!
with much love,

Absolutely breath-taking, Laura! I like your response about embodiment of lessons learned.
If there is no internalized and ‘lived’ experience of the knowledge we are given, we cannot say we truly know – and when we can finally say that – we don’t need to anymore.
Hanging onto the vehicles of the knowledge creates so much baggage. Transforming it – as you have here – allows you to make it your own. Love it – love it – love it!
Thanks for the inspiration as always.

What a beautiful video, with a beautiful message …I found it very touching. Perhaps my favourite yet! It’s a great reminder not to be merely a knowledge collector (which I can be guilty of).
