“I want to Heal My Broken Heart”
These are words that I’ve heard more times than I can count. I feel ravished as I witness the transformation that takes place inside a persons soul–birthing a new reality… a new way of being with themselves… a new way of engaging life after completing the Spiritual Divorce ™ process.
Unconditional Love
It is great to be loved by someone, but it’s imperative to love yourself–unconditionally. Use your life’s experiences to embody your greatness. Open the door to your own heart and love yourself into unlimited possibilities. Release shame and guilt and embrace the sacredness of your entire being…
Healing is an inside job and will only happen when you’re willing to do the heart work it takes to transform your life. It’s hard work. It’s emotional work. It takes commitment and a willingness to let go of story and to step into a new reality.
Terri Marro has freed herself from a cocoon that limited her expression in the world. After completing the Spiritual Divorce ™ process, she soars free from the guilt and shame that bound her and consistently steps into her greatness. Terri did the work, and learned to love herself through it… as a partner in her healing process, I held the space for her transformation… I listened deeply to what was being said… and I helped her see her story in a new way… one that bore beautiful gifts. Gifts of love and compassion and empowerment. And Terri stepped into a beautiful and ever-expanding version of herself.
Here’s Terri’s experience of the coaching process:
Leila has demystified and unraveled my life story. I don’t know what happens when we have a session, but she validates what I feel and believe happened in my life as my truth, and then helps me see those areas I thought I was dumb or lacking of integrity, or evil, or whatever it seemed to be that made me this horrible human being bereft of any qualities belonging to a “good” human being.
My story has many facets to it and is woven into a tapestry of light and dark, good and evil, joy and sorrow, and great depression. When we completed our first coaching session I began to see my life as a rich full expression of who I was based upon the people in my life and decisions I had made according to emotions I felt as a child or teenager, of a mother or daughter, or of a wife or friend.
I based my life story on the reactions that others had to the decisions I made at various times in my life. I did not realize that in order to make sound decisions I needed a mentor; a guide or a parent to show me and to teach me along the way. I was expected to know what to do in all situations without any education in life. I knew there was something terribly wrong with me; I was flawed in some way because I did not know how to do things I should have known how to do. Leila took those areas of my life that were void of information and understanding and helped me fill them with compassion and self love. We took those ares of my life that were full of fear and shame and unraveled those parts of my life until I could see that the emotional charge was of my own making.
Within our life coaching sessions we took my life story, which not only lived inside of me, but also had pieces of me scattered all over the place. Part of me still lived in shame with my grandmother who has since passed; part of me lived with my ex husband who I had been divorced from for 20 years, and part of me lived with lovers and experiences that caused great pain and shame. In essence I was not a whole person but a shattered Soul disassociated from the reality of my life. I used to wonder what soul retrieval looked like. I now know.
These sessions with Leila were more than what I would have imagined just bringing that part of me back; we brought back the story as well and incorporated what that story represented to my complete life. With Lelia’s help we took those stories and placed them within my heart encased in something that represented the love and respect deserving of a loving friend. Now they reside in peace and compassion.
I most appreciated that as we explored my story, and with the validation of my own feelings of truth, there emerged a different story. This story had a much bigger truth. It was one with unlimited possibilities within the realms of my own consciousness of human evolution. This came about through total surrender to a higher truth. All of my stories carried their own truth which included parts of myself that I now understand as my shadow selves; the parts of myself that I disowned and projected onto others.
Fear does not describe what I felt when we began this work. Lelia listened to my stories and showed me my divine self in each one. Things that held an emotional charge of shame and self contempt became a container for love and compassion; not only for me but for all the people in my life. I am becoming aware of how limited my life was in so many aspects.
I love working with Lelia; she has helped me bring so much compassion into my world and quite honestly I believe she is an answer to a prayer. I now understand the saying, “When the student is ready the teacher appears.” –Terri Marro
