Create a life filled with Love, Health & Happiness

"My life’s purpose is to assist people in discovering true love, health & happiness
and thus becoming the best version of themselves that they can be."
We all have barriers that keep us from truly living a fulfilled life, blockages that hold us back from fulfilling our goals, dreams, and real potential. What if you discovered the tools and techniques to free yourself from life's burdens and thus allowed you to begin to live a life filled with love, health and happiness, would you take the leap?
I am constantly being asked to share my story and reveal the steps and process I underwent to reclaim my life. I have been exposed to verbal, physical and sexual abuse. My heart was shattered when I got divorced and ended a 14 year relationship and marriage. I have experienced a miscarriage, survived acute depression which resulted in an attempted suicide and healed from a near death experience, caused by a life threatening disease, yet, today I am one of the happiest people you will every meet.
My three greatest challenges have been Self-Love, Healing & Happiness and in this first ever one day event I will guide you through my story and reveal the steps that I took to reclaim my life: 
10 Steps to Self Love
"How much do you really love yourself? Can you look in the mirror proudly, with a warm smile on your face and say: "I love you. I'm so glad, I get to be you!" I certainly couldn't, in fact I spoke to myself terribly and I treated myself so badly, far worse than I would ever even consider treating another living thing. What I didn't realise was that this very act of self abuse was literally killing me... Sound familiar? Discover how I overcame this challenge."
10 Steps to Healing (Body, Mind & Spirit) 
"Each and every one of us have our own journey of healing, our own illness of the body, heart, mind, or spirit. In the section of the course I will go over everything that I did that assisted me in my recovery. Whether you have a medical illness or suffering from an emotional wound, the steps that I took to healing may not heal you in the way that you perceive to be correct, but they will assist you on a path to your soul's highest journey, which can lead you to a sense of well-being never before experienced."

10 Steps to cultivating True Happiness
"So many people are weighed down with the challenges of life, that they don't even know where to begin when it comes to living in a state of happiness. They believe that happiness is experienced by the lucky few, but I am here to tell you that it is not. Happiness like everything else, is a practice. It is something you can learn and once you do your life will be so incredibly full and rich far beyond anything you ever thought possible."

Do you want to find Real Love?

You know the moment your eye's meet "the one"? The one that defines that moment in life as a turning point, it is the moment that changes everything because life begins a new chapter. You know that nothing will ever be the same again because before that moment there was life and now there is life with this person in it and so your old life fades into a distant dream of what was and you become submerged into a now that is. It is inescapable, you cannot go back or turn away and deep within you as much as you may want to resist, you are helpless to the power of what now is... of who now is before you, within you and a part of you. Your new life has begun and with it come the excitement the joy, the passion and fulfilment you have always been looking for. You have never felt so happy, so in love, so whole, so alive - this is the 'Romantic Love' phase and it is magnificent.


Have you ever wondered why? Why every relationship goes through this magical phase? I mean is it all just a trick, some cruel joke by the universe or a treacherous chemical reaction in our bodies deluding us into an ecstatic state of being just long enough for us to procreate? Why do we go through this 'magic' only to be struck down by the reality that the person we have 'fallen in love with' is a human being and extremely flawed?!?! I mean what kind of a sadistic joke is that to play on people? You know what I'm talking about, yes, you! You've had your heart pulverised enough times to know the drill, your reality and perception of love is fully tainted with fear, with doubt and apprehension. Possibly even to the extent that you've decided to forgo relationships completely... I know in the past I have.
See full strip here, its brilliant: http://theunboundedspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/love-gandhi.jpg
But what if you knew a secret that made all the heart ache, all the trials and tribulations, the insecurities, apprehension, fear, doubt and yes even the pain, worth while... what if you knew that 'Romantic Love' was actually a glimpse of what could be and that this awful fall from romantic love and bliss, into oblivion was the essential key to you not only getting back to the feelings you experienced while in the 'Romantic Love' phase but even greater than that, they would be multiplied and it would give you the opportunity to heal all your previous trauma's and move into a space of complete fulfillment, trust and peace... would you do things differently? Would making the effort suddenly become worthwhile? 


Imagine if we all knew that when we met someone and felt they high's of the 'Romantic Love' phase that it fuelled us because we knew these feeling would not only come again but they would be multiplied and depend beyond what we are even capable of imagining. We realised this was a taste of the relationship's true potential and because of this realisation we stayed... 

I believe that relationships are the reason we are here. Life is made up of relationships; with our parents, our friends, the rest of our family, with animals and the world around you... and the two relationships that can change your life the most are, number 1: The relationship you have with yourself and number 2: The love/romantic/soul/life partner/treasured relationship you experience with another human being, the one who you ultimately spend the largest span of your life with. But have you ever stopped to ask why, why we have this need or wish, or pull, or necessity, or whatever it is, to spend our lives with another person? I believe it is because it is through this specific relationship that we are given the opportunity to face our deepest wounds and if the challenge is accepted and we work together we are able to heal and find the wholeness, the peace and fulfillment that we have always consciously or subconsciously craved.


So now, knowing this, will you give yourself the opportunity to “fight the good fight” to stick it out and work through the tough times? The two essentials to feeling whole, content, happy and at peace are self-love and the healing of life’s wounds. Learning self-love you can do alone but the healing of wounds is only achieved through relationships… isn’t it time you set yourself free. Isn’t it time you put on your big girl/boy pants and faced the music so that you can actually move beyond it?



If the answer is yes, then remember, we attract the exact perfect partner who will bring up all our wounds, all the things that hurt us and still do and we will be doing the exact same thing for them – you are as much as source of pain to someone else as they are to you. If you are both willing to work through it, I am not saying it is going to be easy, because it isn't but you will have the perfect partnership to heal and find a new way of being beyond what you ever thought possible. Isn’t that worth the risk?

I can't help but think back to my last relationship, how crazy we were about each other, how magical our 'Romantic Love' phase was... how long it lasted, far beyond the usual 3 to 4 month period... how when it did end I was faced with my wounds and panicked and reacted and how heart broken I was that he wasn't ready or willing to work through the hard stuff, to stretch himself and grow beyond his wounds. I can't help but feel my heart swell with sadness... if that was a taste of what could have been, how incredible being brave could have allowed us to be... I have to catch myself and accept that it was obviously not meant to be, but I admit it is hard to do... 


Now almost a year later, it's time to begin again. I must say this new knowledge and understanding is a huge source of comfort as I prepare my heart to open once more, to be brave once again. In fact it makes me really excited, I mean if that was a glimpse!?!?! Then wow...Oh my goodness...Yipeeed!!!! I guess it all begin's with you... and then, finding someone equally as brave, that's the tricky part and the key, you both need to be equally willing to move through the pain and the bliss hand in hand... witnessing, supporting and loving, that is the majesty and the unequivocal gift of a committed relationship... So my dear readers, my wish for you is, I hope this understanding brings you some comfort and understanding, courage to fight harder, hope because things can be different and even excitement because now you know the possibilities. 

May you be brave enough to find, fight and live in love with one person, after all, as the Beatles said "Love is all you need". 



Be happy, live in compassion and love

Namaste

Susana

Another day without love...

Today I am tired. 

Frustrated. 

I have lost focus on what's good and been swallowed up by what's bad. 

My life is so full and rich with blessings and yet the lack of a romantic relationship seems to cast a shadow on all that is and all that isn't... 

For what is life, if it is not shared in love? If we do not have the opportunity to witness and be witnessed. 

That is the highest most precious gift we can ever hope to experience. 

I miss it with all of my soul and would do anything to experience it again.

Yet for now, I need to comfort my heart, console its sorrow and allow all the emotions to flow through me, so that they may not become stuck and choke me in my sleep in fear of being held against their will.

For now, once they have washed through me and the aching begin's so cease, I must rise again and face a new day with broken will and a steady heart, I must find in myself once more the will to look beyond this shore of sorrow into foreign lands of what could be.

For now, I cannot anchor in, for if I do the storm of sorrow will swallow me whole. It will beat my sails and drench my decks, it will snap my masts and crack my chest and within its wave I shall falter and fall into the depth of this ocean from which there is no more.

I cannot be swallowed whole, I still have far to go...

And yet for now, I allow myself a moment to weep, a moment to feel how my life is incomplete.

For one day when I've met him and my life feels full and fair again, I can hold onto these memories that make my now more sweet. 

And so again the dreams begin to fuel my faith, strengthen my heart and renew my gait. As I focus ahead at what life will be and my broken heart becomes once more a sad memory.
