After leaving my marriage last year, I was unable to feel grounded. I wasn't able to feel any peace or joy in my life. I didn't even like being with my kids. Looking back I see how I was jumping from one compulsive behavior to another, doing whatever I could to numb the guilt and fear that I felt. My brain was scattered, my heart felt broken and no matter what I did, I couldn't find any peace. I would lay in bed for days - feeling - meditating - praying and doing whatever I coach others to do but the most I would feel were glimpses of peace and joy but it would never last.
I knew
I had a great life and knew that I had so much to be grateful for but I never
actually felt it. I felt like a shell. I would go through the motions of life
but never felt that I was actually living life. I was constantly over-analyzing
the past and that created so much guilt or I was looking ahead to the future,
trying to change my reality BUT I was never truly present. I was never LIVING
or truly ENJOYING. Everything I did was for a purpose. Nothing was good enough.
I had lost 50 pounds but I needed to lose the last pounds that were bothering
me. I was working out at the gym but always needed to push harder and do more.
I was getting results with clients but I always needed to do more for more
people. I spent time with my kids but I always beat myself up for getting
impatient with them. I felt like a failure. I always compared myself to what I
thought I should be doing. I would drop my kids off with their dad and cry
because I had been impatient with them or didn't spend enough quality time with
them. I felt like my kids would be better off living with their dad because I
felt like I couldn't give them enough attention and love. I felt like a failure
as a practitioner, wondering how people could look to me for healing when I was
such a mess myself. I was seeking and trying to get my life together. I knew I
had come so far but still never felt whole. I had a belief that I needed to be
in a relationship with a man to feel whole. I felt like I had to be loved and
give love to someone in order to be a good mom to my children. I couldn't let
go of the idea of the "family" I always held in my mind. I kept seeing
what my kids lost because of the separation. I was on a mission to change my
life - I read books, and studied and tried and tried even though I knew that
the act of trying was the act of torture. I knew that letting go and accepting
was the answer so I would "try" to let go. I was stuck in my brain
and couldn't escape!!!!
Then I
took John
Veltheim's course in Miami. He explained the
role of the 3 brains and the soul. I GOT IT!!! I understood what had been going
on in my life. It made sense. Then we learned a technique to balance our 3
brains and get them communicating and I immediately felt shifts. I went from
thinking and over-analyzing everything in my life to "being". I would
sit by the ocean and be. I felt like I was unable to form thoughts and I felt
so FREE!!!! I was experiencing the world around me. I saw the ocean. I felt the
air. I tasted my food. I heard the ocean. I smelled the ocean. It was glorious.
I walked and looked and felt - but I didn't think. This is what I always knew
was possible but I was so stuck in my brain I wasn't ever able to truly access
it!!
Returning
home was very interesting. I felt like I had been erased. I had no idea who I
was and what I wanted and what I liked. I just WAS!!! I LIVED in the moment. I
was not able to look to the past or the future. I just allowed myself to be
carried from moment to moment. I started to feel subconscious fear and anxiety
surfacing and I ended up with a bad cold. I laid in bed for 3 days but I knew
that it was my soul's way to force me to just lay and feel. My body was sick
but my mind was at peace!!!
Since
the course, I have spent the most amazing time with my kids and my family!!!I I
am enjoying and experiencing and playing and LIVING!!! I have never felt so
close to my kids before. I sit with them and hold them and feel so much love
from them and for them. It is truly so
wonderful. I have never felt so
accepting and grateful before. I feel the amazing life I have. I need nothing
more than what I already have!! I am unable to look to the future to make
plans. I am going to let my soul carry me where it wants me. I have no idea
where that is but wherever I am meant to go and whatever I am meant to do will
be what my soul needs to fully express this life that I have been given. Right
now, I am listening and LIVING!!!
Thank-you,
thank-you, thank-you, John
Veltheim and Esther for this amazing
work that you have been dying to share with the world. I am so excited to see
the results in myself, my family and my clients - I am so excited to be a part
of it. I urge everyone to take this new course - it truly is the missing piece
we have all been craving and waiting for.
I have
been using this new work in all my BodyTalk sessions and continue to get Ahas
and deep awareness of the work we have been doing all along with BodyTalk. I feel so much confidence and understanding
and love for what I do! My business has
literally exploded since taking this class.
With much love and gratitude,
