Dear Reader,

Yesterday, I spent some time in nature at a park that I used to frequent years ago. It’s one of many on San Francisco Bay that I visited often without hesitation. It was part of my routine. So much so that I kept a beach chair and towel in my trunk at all times. 🏖️

But then I moved to a more congested, industrial area. This part of the bay is littered with smokestacks, power lines and muddy flats. Hardly an invitation to enjoy nature. 🏭

The beach chair and towel were relegated to my garage, gathering dust and spider webs. 🕷️🕸️

I made an effort yesterday. Got out of my comfort zone and drove to the old neighborhood. Found the spot for the day, like I used to, and just relaxed. White sails gliding by, blue water under blue sky, green trees swaying in the breeze.

Laying in the sunshine, I asked myself, when did I stop reaching for this? When did I give up on resting in nature? And why?

The answer arrived swiftly, with the sting of tears.

I thought I didn’t deserve it. A young part of myself had felt banished to the hinterlands, barred from enjoying the outdoor splendor of this sunny place.

I knew that this belief was tied to childhood trauma. I recently made more complete contact with a traumatic memory of an event that had left me feeling punished. My young mind could only connect this punishment to an idea of somehow being bad or wrong, and therefore, undeserving of good things.

As I continue to integrate the healing session around this memory, I see its impact on my current life. And, miraculously, I am finding ways to step into deservingness, despite the power of the old unconscious belief that I have carried for so long.

What deeply unconscious beliefs around worthiness are stopping you from having the simple pleasures in life?

If you don’t know the answer, you can start by examining your triggers. What comes up when you consider adding to your pleasure, improving your health, expanding your wealth or reaching toward luxury? Whatever that response is, it will point you toward your beliefs.

If there is underlying trauma, you may need support to root it out and bring it into the light. I had the good fortune to cross paths this Spring with the perfect healer for me at this time. She took me where I needed to go, and led me out into the light.

Part of my post-healing integration is opening my mind to ways that I can bring energy healing forward in my coaching work. Since January, I have been seeing energy healing clients exclusively. Not by choice. It’s just that the people showing up are asking for healing. All of them are survivors of significant trauma.

To that end, I am opening up five VIP sessions in June for any combination of energy healing and coaching that feels right to you. I want to support you in diving deep to excavate the hidden beliefs that may be blocking your prosperity and success. Whether there is deep, unhealed trauma or just an old pattern that needs to be released, I have the tools, training and experience to bring you through it to a new place of empowerment and deservingness.

Whatever voice is telling you that you are unworthy, don’t judge it. It is pointing you toward your next healing breakthrough. You deserve to feel lightness, wholeness and vitality. You have so much to share with the world and the world needs you to feel good enough to share it. 💖

In worthiness and wealth,

Maria
