The Secret of Life Wellness
Recognize What Makes You Lovable
To love yourself, you need to recognize all the ways that you are lovable and valuable.
Take a few minutes to reflect on all the qualities that make you lovable. Write those
qualities down and place them next to your bed. Read them every day for a week.
When you read them, allow yourself to really take them in. During the week, ask all the
people you care about what they love about you. Write down what they say and then
focus on accepting those qualities within yourself. Really listen to what people say and
thank them for telling you what is great about you.
Once you know that you are lovable and valuable you can begin to attract the expe-
riences, people, and things you really desire into your life because you will know that
you deserve them.
Visualize Infinite Love
Place your hands on your heart. Close your eyes and visualize a big infinity sign on
the ground. Walk around this sign as if you are tracing it with your feet. As you
are walking around this sign, focus on everyone and everything you love in your life.
Keep walking around this sign until you feel an incredible amount of love and grati -
tude. Then stand in the middle of the sign. Open your arms wide and imagine that the
infinite love of the universe now flows into your heart. Focus on breathing this love into
every cell of your body.
Now, concentrate on connecting to the people you love from a place of infinity and
deep love. Give yourself permission to share your life with and communicate with them
on a deep and profound level. Allow yourself to feel their love and care for you.
Say: “Divine Healing Intelligence, using the pink ray of unconditional love, sweep
through my mind, body, heart, and soul and energize every aspect of my being with
Divine Love. Allow me to know myself and my soul on the deepest level possible. Give
me the highest, clearest, and most perfect guidance. Allow the Divine Love within me
to dissolve all fear, doubt, anger, disconnection, and any other obstacle to my happiness,
love, and freedom. Thank you.”
Repeat the word “CLEAR” several times until you feel lighter.

How You Can Embrace Your Shadow
and Work with Your Inner Child
I heard that we have a light and shadow side. Can you expand on this?
Also, what is a role of the inner child in our lives and how can we work with it?
In order to regain your inner power and know and love yourself fully, it is important
to understand and embrace all aspects of your light and shadow. As you study the
third and fourth chapters, you will encounter the four archetypes which are part of our
human makeup, including the inner child, prostitute, victim, and saboteur.
Each archetype is the keeper of many gifts and challenges and can assist you in
understanding your unconscious and subconscious patterns, behaviors, and reactions.
Working with archetypal energy can help you heal past wounds, release self-
sabotage, let go of fearful and limiting patterns, reach your highest potential, reclaim
your integrity, have more choices, and become self-empowered.
Embrace Your Light and Shadow
Our shadow side consists of aspects of ourselves we are least familiar with, bury, resist,
and suppress. It is a secret hideaway where we try to mask all our insecurities, fears, dis-
appointments, and failures, as well as our potential greatness, influence, beauty,
