All Day Beach Session Goes The Opposite of What Was Expected…
My office has been at the beach for 25 years and my all day beach sessions are with people from all walks of life, with all kinds of opportunities (and challenges), and from all over the world.
Today, the woman I worked said as we were leaving at sunset, “Today went the opposite of what I expected when we started this morning!”
She told me, “I came to see you because I’ve been addicted to my ex-husband. I wanted you to get me free because I’ve been making myself miserable every day for over a year. Instead, I feel more confident and calm than ever before. I now know that my real addiction was to hating myself!”
She had never heard of that addiction before. Whether it’s unique to her or others have it, too. There is no public path to get free of any addiction. Just as everyone has their own unique path into their addiction. No two paths are the same in or out.
You can never get enough of something you don’t really need.
I suggested to her that it was time for meditation or medication.
She said she hadn’t been able to meditate for over a year. She couldn’t focus and she couldn’t stop thinking.
Within 3 breaths, she connected with her own inner true sage and was meditating again. She inhaled and hummed loudly for 3 exhales. Her mind was quiet, she had a 5 second meditation and was thrilled to actually feel calm and for her mind to be quiet. Simple and powerful; TruSage techniques.
The only way she could figure out to love herself was to start off by expressing how much she hated herself. After accepting and expressing her feelings, she always balanced it with accepting and expressing her love for herself. This worked wonders! She coudn’t just love herself, she figured out how to do this but it took an extra 5 seconds. Not bad for a transformational experience.
I share this with you because after finishing her all day session, this woman was free of her addiction to her ex-husband.
She got there the opposite way of how she thought it would go. Instead of working on him, she worked on herself. Instead of focusing on the addiction to him, she focused on the addiction to hating herself with the result being the freedom and joy of then loving herself.
The most amazing thing was that all of her other addictions (ex, other men) were completely gone, off the radar and she was calm and confident that she could handle everyone and everything much better now; family, business, money, men, ex, and definitely her self!
