moment.
    Once I started to teach people about self-healing and transformation, I understood
    that in order for us to give to others we must be able to receive love, care and support.
    If you don’t currently have people in your life who envelop you with love and offer
    you a soft place to land when times are rough, I deeply encourage you to ask for that
    support in your daily meditation or prayer. When you ask, focus on connecting to
    their energy and receiving them into your heart. With several of my close soul friends,
    my husband, and my children, I felt like I knew their spirit before we met up in the
    physical.
    When you can give and receive love, life takes on an extra dimension. You begin to
    breathe, live, and emanate love. All the sharp edges of your life become smoother and
    you acquire the strength to keep going, even in the darkest moments.
    Know Your Self-Worth
    You need to know that you are worthy of the most incredible love, support, warmth,
    success, and happiness. It is important to understand that on deep subconscious and
    unconscious levels, you receive into your life the things you feel you deserve.
    Of course, some people might read this and think, for example, “I don’t deserve to
    be abused, yet I am.” No one consciously says, “I want to be abused, poor, or taken

    advantage of.” However, from childhood you observe and learn what is OK through
    your environment, how your parents relate to you and each other, how you are treated at
    school, and what you are told about yourself. If you receive repetitive messages of being
    unlovable, unworthy, inadequate, inept, and hopeless, this is how you will feel about
    yourself. Thus, unconsciously you will create an attractor field, which will pull to you
    the things, people, and experiences that match your limited ideas about yourself.
    Connect with Cellular Memories
    As you examine your inner world, you will begin to decipher what elements are of ben-
    efit to you to keep and which beliefs, ideas and memories you need to let go of or alter.
    A fascinating phenomenon I have observed is that when people discover a cellular
    memory, recognized it, and then slightly adjust it, their physical health and often whole
    reality can transform.
    My understanding of a cellular memory is that cells in your body can store infor-
    mation, memories, or traumas from earlier experience, your ancestors, or past lives.
    These memories also contain information that relates to you conscious and subcon-
    scious patterns of behavior.
    Stevan Thayer, founder of Integrated Energy Therapy says, “Every cell in our body
    has the ability . . . to remember. Our cellular memory can store the memory of:
    • Physical trauma: accidents, cuts, bruises, surgeries, or abuse
    • Emotional trauma: heartache, fear, and anger
    • Mental trauma: manifests as low self-esteem, feelings of unworthiness, worry
    When trauma is suppressed into the cellular memory, the energy of that trauma can
    get stuck. The problem with suppressed cellular memory is not only does it limit our
    ability to live freely and joyfully in life, but it can also support the body in developing
    physical illness.”3
    I have guided thousands of people to connect to their bodies and consciously work
    with their cellular memories to heal themselves.

    After many of my students got in touch with their cellular memories, they reported
    becoming aware of challenging experiences that had occurred to them, even thought
    they had rarely or never consciously thought of the event since it occurred. During the
    process of asking what is imprinted in their cellular memories, people have reported
    experiencing different bodily sensations in particular areas of their body where they
    have pain or discomfort, smelling fragrances, hearing sounds, seeing images, and
