I am working with a private client right now who has a  such a beautiful love story that I asked her if she would share it with you. Here's Alyssa's story...

I recently began dating a man that I met about 7 years ago.  When I first met him, he was my massage therapist, and I was always drawn to his energy. He was married at the time, so I never gave it much thought. After he closed his business and went back into mainstream business, we lost touch for awhile, and then reconnected through Facebook. Occasionally we would comment on one another's posts, or send an email. A few months back, his "status" changed to "single", and I considered contacting him to see how he was doing, but figured he would be flooded with questions and decided to hold off.

This was right at the same time that I started Soulmate School and began my private coaching with Liesel.

And then a week later, I received an email from him.  

He had seen an old, online dating profile that I had posted, and then never really did anything with.  He heard an ad from the site, and decided to check it out, although he didn't really intend on dating yet.

After he filled out his profile information, my profile came up as a match, so he contacted me.

We emailed for a few weeks, and decided to meet for dinner to "catch up" after not seeing each other for 5 years. The moment I saw him in the restaurant, I recalled how peaceful and calming his energy is to me. Insecurities came up that I was not spiritual enough for him - other than teachers, I had never met anyone with his degree of clarity on the world, an understanding of how energy works, or the ability to read another's energy.

I just tried to put this out of mind, pulled in my reference points (learned in Soulmate School), and came into the present.

By the end of dinner, he asked if we could date. 

As it turns out, he had always been attracted to me, but was never in a position to do anything about it. 

We had three dates in that first week. On the day of the third, he kissed me "hello" and pulled away with tears in his eyes.

When I asked what the tears were about, he replied, "It must be all of that heart opening work you are doing."

That third date lasted for 26 hours. In that first week, I shared more with him than I shared with men that I dated for several years.  We connected over stories from our childhood, and our dreams for the future. We discussed our previously unfulfilled relationships, our insecurities, and what we wanted to have with a partner.

We had spiritual discussions, which I never imagined I would have with a man.

I kept my heart open, and my energy intact, and he responded to it. 

Then, I was off to vacation by myself on the other side of the world for 12 days. Throughout my trip, he was supportive.  When I became ungrounded and scared of traveling all alone, he reminded me to ground myself and to come back to my heart center and appreciate this magnificent place that I was visiting. When I was excited about my experiences, he listened, and he was excited for me. When I had free time, we talked for hours over the phone. He marveled at how "in the present" I am, how uncomplicated I am, and when he asked if he could tune into my energy, he told me that he could see that all I wanted was to be loved.

When I was on my way home, I spoke to him from a layover at 10:00pm, and he told me to cancel my car service, because he would pick me up from the airport. He met me at 1:00 am, flowers in hand.

That was the night we first said that we loved each other...

He tells me that I am loveable, and that I deserve to be loved.

He tells me that I am beautiful and special.

These are all things that are in my daily affirmations that came out of my work with Liesel, and except for sharing with him that I never really felt that I deserved to be loved, he picked up the rest on his own.  

He tells me that he has never felt as completely loved - for all of the shadows and the light - as he has since he has been with me.

Every day that we are together, tears come to his eyes at least once. He says simply that it is "Bliss". I've started tearing up, as well.

I feel so blessed to have him in my life.

He is so much more than I ever expected to have in a partner, and I cannot wait to see where this path leads us!

Please tell me what you think! Does this renew your faith? Do you have an inspirational love story to share? Please share in the comments below.

An amazing woman, who I have a total 'girl crush' on, Danielle LaPorte asked this question today:

What do you want to revolutionize?

She asks a lot of great questions, but this is the first one that has me fired up, lit up and ready to shout out what I want to revolutionize!

I want to revolutionize the way women seek love

Women are taught from a very young age what you need to look like, be like, act like, dress like, in order to get a man... aka be loved.

And so you run around like crazy trying to be 'perfect'. Hiding all your faults and flaws so he'll notice you, want you, like you, love you.

It's crazy making. 

And guess what - it doesn't work. All of this external BS does not bring in love. Not the real, feel it in your heart, tears in your eyes, overwhelmed with gratitude kind of Love with a capital L.

The way to that kind of LOVE is to know yourself as the Juicy Divine Radiant Being that YOU ARE.

Fall madly. in love. with yourself.

Be so enamored with you that you can't wait to spend time with yourself.

The most profound, fabulous and effective way to seek Love is to let go of all of that marketing hype about what you need to be externally and create an Internal Reality that Love can't help totally falling for.

Yes, that internal reality may have some cobwebs, it may be dark and sticky, it may even be downright terrifying at first.

Take a light and shine it in there anyway. Start to explore. Go on an adventure to find out: what are you afraid of, what makes you feel totally naked and vulnerable? Once you start to know the answers to these questions you are on the right path.

Love is not about being perfect. It's about finding your imperfections and bringing them to the surface, knowing them, loving them. Because when your vulnerabilities are hidden from you, they subconsciously sabotage the hell out of you.

When you know what you're afraid of and what your negative self talk says to you trying to protect you from those fears, then that dark sticky stuff doesn't take up nearly as much space in your internal reality.

And when you start to clean out the closet to make room for more of the real you, more of your divine ESSENCE is allowed to shine through.

And guess what? Your Essence will bring you Love. Guaranteed.

When you feel the truth of who you are as a radiant being of love and light. When you know yourself as the JUICY Goddess that YOU ARE... Love can't help but be divinely head over heals gaga attracted to you.

I promise.

So just dig in a bit. Allow the imperfection. Bring it on up for air.

The revolutionary truth is: LOVE is what's underneath it all.

If you are feeling like you need some inspiration to stay on your path to Love - here's an awesome story I just received from one of my Soulmate School students. Just goes to show that when you are supposed to be together...

Written by Allison Suter (that's her and Chris in the photo)

It took me a while to come up for air and put this into a simple story to read.

The Universe brought us together... totally crazy story

1. He was at a cafe telling his friend "I wish I had a nutrition coach" and some people sitting next to them said "Sorry for butting in, but I over heard you... we’ve used Allison Suter. Here is her website and info." So he looked me up, and never reached out.

2. (two months later) he was on the phone with a buddy and they both play guitar... his friend says "you have to try these new guitar straps I found, check out Moody Leather straps" and so he went to my other website and saw me again... he thought "hmm is that the same woman?" yep... WOW... maybe I should contact her... (nope lol)

3. (two months later) he was designing a business card for a friend and was on a site called "Creatica" that has 30 thousand cards to look at, he was thumbing thru thousands of card when... the phone rang and he walked around his house and when he hung up and came back to his computer... there was my current biz card, blown up on his screen! Still didn't contact me LOL

4. (two weeks later) he was coaching this group of people and needed to set up a conference call with everyone... well, one of the ladies in the group couldn't make the call and asked to talk individually... he made the exception and called Sat 11am... when the phone rang, the caller ID said "Allison Suter"! That young lady is on my friends and family plan, so every time she calls out... the ID says my name!

He asked how my name would pop up, and told her the story how I kept coming into his life..

And then he called me.. we have been together everyday since.

The icing on the cake... When he signs his initials "CA" it is the exact same as my signature "Ali" ...SO much so.. that I said to myself a few times "hey, that’s weird, I don't remember signing that"

Crazy story huh?

I can't help but think that your Soulmate School coupled with our brief session had EVERYTHING to do with making this happen. I began your online school back in May. Chris began the Chopra Synrodestiny series at the same time. We were both actively calling in the one and loving ourselves in the process.

Thank YOU!
XOXO ever so grateful ~Ali

Until I married my husband, I always dreaded Valentine’s Day.

If I were with someone, it never lived up to my expectations…. Valentine’s Day always seemed to highlight the flaws in the relationship – like the boyfriend who after 3 years still didn’t know that I absolutely hated fruit inside my chocolate.

And if I were alone, I was usually sad and pining away for the last best guy I’d been with. I was too busy being hung up on the one that got away, to be open to the possibility that the juiciest relationship was yet to come.

Sound familiar?

Top 10 Ways to Know You’re Still Hung Up On An Old Lover

1. You’re Facebook friends and you just ‘happen to’ check out every tagged picture of them.
2. Women: You still sleep in his old t-shirt (yes I know it’s comfy)
3. Men: It’s her face you see when… (I know you know what I mean)
4. You still wear that necklace he gave you last Valentine’s Day.
5. You’re now ‘just really good friends’ and hang out. All. The. Time.
6. You read their old emails/letters when you’re lonely or when things are ‘off’ with your current partner.
7. You still cry every time ‘your song’ comes on (and sometimes you even play it on purpose).
8. You secretly feel sick to your stomach when you see them with a new partner.
9. You still have them on speed dial.
10. You deny till death all of the above to your closest friends.

Does pining for old lovers keep you from making space for a new one?

True Confession: I was madly in love with a man – let’s just call him Rhett Butler – who I was sure was ‘the one’. When it ended my heart was totally broken.

I continued to ‘live’ in that relationship for another 2 years. I still wore the earrings he gave me, played our songs and read (and reread) his old letters and love poems (God, did he write the best poetry). Energetically, he was still my man.

I held onto him because I was convinced this was it – my soulmate. My one chance for true love. I couldn’t trust that I would ever love again. I was totally willing to wait for him and had a fantasy that we would reconnect in 20 years and live happily ever after.

Then, in a healing session, an intuitive told me I was carrying his energy and it was time to let it go. I cried and cried. Not wanting to give up my one chance for love – but in the end… I did it.

I cut the cords and cleared his energy out. I took off the earrings and put away the poetry.

Only then did it become clear that all the time I was hung up on Rhett, my husband Craig was right there waiting for me. We’d known each other for years, but I had been too stuck in the ‘sludge’ of lost love to even see him.

It took energetically letting go of my Rhett Butler to make space for my husband to come into my life.

Hanging On

When you hang on to past lovers, either consciously or energetically, you tell the Universe that you’re taken. There’s no room for someone new in your life because you’re still ‘in’ the old relationship.

Even if you’re in a new relationship now, you’re still ‘energetically cheating’ if you’re holding on. You can’t completely surrender to a deep soul connected love if there’s the shadow of an old lover lurking in the corner of your heart.

So do you have an ex, or even a fantasy love, who you still hold a torch for?  One who still plays at your heart?  If your real, true, feel-it-in-the-pit-of-your-stomach answer is ‘yes’, there’s a good chance you’re blocking the love you really want from coming into your life.

Letting Go

Here’s what I want you to hear, and to know.

That person who broke your heart was really saying: ‘This relationship is too small for you. It’s distracting you from finding your soulmate, and I’m releasing you to find that love’.

Letting go can bring up a lot of resistance. We can get caught up in the memories of old relationships, in the happiness we felt, the great sex we had, the deep connection that was there.

Like me, you may feel you had your one chance for love. That it doesn’t get any better. Like you messed up the one and only chance you had for happiness.

That even if you really let this lover go from your life, and from your heart, that the void will be too big to live with.

The fear is: maybe no one else – no one really wonderful – will ever want you.

But the gift is much bigger: When you drop into the void and trust that there’s someone out there who will meet you at your deepest soul level, you give yourself permission to receive a love that will blow your heart wide open.

So If You’re Ready for a Love That Deep…

• Unfriend your old lovers on Facebook – just. click. that. button.
• Give away or burn all their ‘stuff’.
• If you still hang out with them, get really honest about what you might be ‘hoping for’.

3 Ways to Really Dig In, Let Them Go, and Open Yourself to Love

1. Allow yourself to really feel the fear – to feel the pain in your heart. Have a good long cry in the bath tub.
2. Allow yourself to trust the Universe, to know that you are as worthy of love as every other being on this planet.
3. Create a special meditation, your own ritual for moving on. Close your eyes… Thank your past love for all you learned from them… Thank them for releasing you… Release them…. And say ‘goodbye’.

It is possible for YOU to have deep and lasting love.

But first you have to let go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you're ready to let go and let LOVE in, I'll be teaching a powerful energetic release of old lovers this Valentine's Day in the V-Day Party in Your Heart Workshop. If you have a phone or a computer then you have a date for Valentine's. Here's the link with more details!

As this year comes to a close, what is your intention for LOVE in 2012?

State it. Declare it.

Be grateful for it as if it's already done.

Light a candle.

Drop into your essence.

Write it down.

Be consciously intentional with your intention.

Share it here.

Publicly proclaim exactly what it is you want for your love life this year. 

Let's all hold the vision for each other and for Love!

   On Monday night I shared a call:

  Allow the LOVE In.

On the call I invited you to begin receiving more in your life so that when your true partner does arrive you will be well practiced in receiving.

And you can let him in!  

Giving and receiving work together.

Like inhaling and exhaling.

One requires the other.

If you only give and don't receive, it's like exhaling over and over again without an inhale. What happens then?

Where can you begin to receive in your life? Where can you allow more good to flow to you?

I invite you, challenge you even, to receive TRULY receive as many times as you can between now and the New Year.

Then please come back here and post what you've let in. How you've started the pattern of letting love into your life.

It can be as simple as letting the clerk take your groceries to the car. Receiving a gift without rushing out to buy one to reciprocate with. Letting a friend pick up the bill when she offers.

Try it. Stretch yourself. Hey it might even be fun!

Write about here so you can inspire more receiving in each woman who reads this.

Let's start a trend of gracious and effortless receptivity.

Balance.

Masculine. Feminine.

Which one leads? Which one is dominant? Which one runs your life?

If you were able to place the masculine and the feminine on the scale which would be heavier in your life at this moment? Wow - noticing how my stream of thought writing is feeling constricted by the knowing that I am reading this in front of the group. The masculine “perfectionist” in me wants to be sure it sounds good. While the feminine is saying just flow... just flow... just flow...

So which is “heavier” now?

Breathe.

Feel your body Liesel

Breathe again. Allow the flow of the feminine. Allow the music. The nature. The heat to soften you. To ease you into this new experience in this new place. To write for yourself and not for an audience.

Allow your body to soften now.

Breathe again. Deep and slow. Almost brings up tears.

Such a contrast to the push to the direction to the masculine energy it took to pack up my life, to pack up my family, to leave behind my sisters, and move here to this beautiful FEMININE island. This place where flow is required. Where pushing feels like pushing against air or water. Only falling into myself in frustration when I try to push here.

So now breathe. Soften Allow the flow.

This is what you came here for. To slow down. to allow. to receive. to soften. to live in the feminine. To Live the Feminine. To live a scandalous life of slowness ease and grace.

Tears again. Breathe.

Allow the feminine to be heavier. Trust it. Surrender to it.

Remember what he said. Everything just works here. Remember how true that is when you flow with the energy of life. When you allow the Universe to guide you to take care of you. When you trust in God’s plan for your life and the KNOWING that home is here for now.

For now. Be in the now. Allow the present moment to be all you need.

Give the pusher, the planner, the perfectionist, the worrier and the frightened child a day off. Let them rest too.

Buy a hammock. Today. That will help. Yes buy a hammock today.

Dance. Sing. Move your body in the divine feminine rhythm that is nature that is life. Allow the nature here to touch you so deeply. To touch your heart to touch you in the dark frightened places inside.

More tears.

Allow the people here to warm your heart. To teach you about God. To guide you into reverence. Reverence for nature as God. Reverence for the divine mother for the divine feminine.

Watching now as the inner critic wants to have a say. "Are you really going to read this aloud to strangers?" she says. "You need to edit it first. You might even cry".

Just keep going. Stay open stay soft.

Breathe. In and Out. Yin and Yang. Masculine and feminine. The masculine has had it’s time. So much time. Most of a lifetime. Let’s allow HER to be heavier now. Let’s allow the softness to ease the tightness.

Let’s allow the heart to guide the mind.

Let’s bring the creative back online. Please. Let’s be creative just for the sake of it. Let’s write a song about all the feelings you are having about your life right now. About this HUGE leap of faith you have just taken.

Let’s write a song about love and sisterhood. Let’s write a song about that beautiful man you have at home. Let’s write a song about that fiery little girl who is full of so much LIFE.

Let’s write a song of gratitude to God for this life. For this freedom. For this profound gift.

More tears. Breathe. In and out. Breathe. A moment.
