Are Your Readers/Listeners Ready for a Breakthrough?
Have you been engaged in personal growth or practical spirituality – doing everything you’re “supposed” to be doing – but you’re still stuck in the same place? Are things not shifting in your life as you’d hoped?
Have you ever felt, “I’m doing the work, so why isn’t it working?”
Unity Minister, author and Spiritual Coach Victoria Loveland-Coen knows. She’s been there. “It happens to many people who are attracted to personal transformation programs” she explains. “I can’t tell you how many times someone has told me that they’re doing the affirmations, attempting to think positively, meditating, creating vision boards, and coming up with a list of action steps, and yet they’re still stuck. Sometimes they experience initial success. But after a while, they realize it’s not sustainable. Those old self-sabotaging patterns eventually rise to the surface.”
After decades of research and personal practice, Victoria finally identified the essential pieces missing from all of these programs. And she wants to share them with your readers/listeners so that they can effectively release what’s keeping them stuck and learn to live their dreams at last.
Based on the concepts in Victoria’s new book: Breakthrough! A Complete Guide for Getting Unstuck and Realizing Your Dreams she will show your readers/listeners how to…
In short, they will discover how to align all levels of their being with their heart’s desires – and allow them to emerge naturally.
What dream has been stalled for your readers/listeners? What if that dream could be freed from unconscious self-sabotaging patterns and finally be allowed to manifest?
“It’s really quite simple,” Victoria explains, “when you have the tools to release the toxic energies that have been robbing you of your desired good, and when you discover how to access the high-frequency dimension of transformation.”
What will your readers/listeners create in their life when “all systems are go?” It’s within their reach right now. Everything they need to succeed is within. Breakthrough! is the key that makes that possibility a reality.
I’m doing the work. Why isn’t it working?
You’ve been doing everything you’re supposed to do in order to manifest more health, happiness and success in your life. You are repeating affirmations, meditating, visualizing your good, following an organized to-do list, etc. And it seems like things are moving forward…and then bam! Suddenly you are right back where you started. The same old patterns keep showing up. That new relationship, or job, is not what you dreamed it would be. That chronic ailment has flared up yet again. Or, once again you’re struggling to pay your bills. It’s frustrating and even disillusioning. Why isn’t it working?
What’s happening is that unconscious patterns and unacknowledged shadows just under the surface are tossing up blocks as they cry out for healing. Once you acknowledge them, embrace them and heal them, they will stop sabotaging your efforts. You can then move forward, fully realized, empowered, and unstoppable!
The Search for Happiness:
Is happiness a state that can be achieved? Can we “pursue” happiness, as is guaranteed in our Constitution? Does marriage or money bring happiness?
Actually, happiness is not something to be “achieved” and no one else can give it to us. It is already within us! But how do we connect with that seemingly elusive state of happiness?
Victoria Loveland-Coen gives you strategies for releasing what’s not working and aligning yourself with your innate happiness allowing it to blossom in your heart, your mind and your life.
The Self-Improvement Merry-Go-Round
It’s the New Year. You want to make change in your life. You want to improve yourself and have a greater experience of life. So you set New Year’s resolutions, or embark on a self-improvement program, or read some personal growth books. But it’s either not happening as you wanted it to, or not happening at all. Why?
Because if you believe you need to change, you are, in essence, working against yourself. You can’t beat yourself into a better version of you. Ouch!
Instead, what if you learned to love and accept yourself as you are now, knowing that every path you have taken has contributed to creating your unique expression. Once you embrace yourself fully, unproductive behavior falls away and you allow your magnificence to emerge naturally.
The Irony of Spirituality
Most on a personal growth path believe that in order to be more “spiritual” you must think and speak positively at all times. And so we do our best to embrace the positive emotions like joy, love, peace, compassion, and avoid or deny “negative” emotions such as anger, unhappiness and jealousy. When we fail at that (which we certainly do) we feel bad about ourselves. The thing is all our emotions are an important part of our humanness – they are how we process our experience. They can also give us clues into the subconscious beliefs we may have about ourselves. When we deny them, they don’t go away…they just go underground where they become toxic and cause problems.
Learn to make friends with “negative” emotions, release the energy behind them quickly, then get at the root of the erroneous perceptions that gave rise to them — thereby permanently shifting old beliefs.
That Thing Called Forgiveness
The #1 habit that chokes off the vital life energy in our body and blocks the flow of good in our lives is the tendency to harbor resentment of any kind. We know that in order to grow personally and spiritually we must forgive those who we feel have “done us wrong.” But how many really know how to do it? It’s a skill that requires willingness, the right perspective, and a set of specific tools. With these techniques you successfully free yourself of the heavy burden of resentment, heal toxic conditions and experience true inner peace.
Under the Influence
Most now understand the connection between limited thinking based on erroneous beliefs and the limitation they experience in life. But after successfully shifting these limiting beliefs, we’re often taken aback when suddenly a very challenging experience seems to “come out of nowhere.” If so, we don’t fully grasp the influence of the Collective Consciousness.
From the beginning of time, all of humanity’s experiences, limited beliefs, fears, struggle, sense of powerlessness or domination – as well as all the love and joys we have experienced, make up the content of this “group mind” which we all share. Learn effective strategies for protecting yourself against its negative influence and resolves any generational influence to turn the tide of your own lineage in a positive and progressive direction.
The Golden Shadow
We’ve all had the experience of admiring someone while feeling that we absolutely could never be as smart, talented, put together, confident, chill, accomplished, successful, disciplined, or spiritually advanced as they are. Well, guess what? The same dynamic that occurs when we project our rejected “negative” shadow onto others also applies to the “positive” qualities we admire in others. This is called our Golden Shadow.
We actually possess the same qualities we admire in others because we are all expressions of the same one Divine Light. But perhaps because we were taught to be humble, unassuming, and never “toot our own horn,” we either hid our special gifts, or we never developed our gifts to begin with. Discover techniques for reclaiming your Golden Shadow and allow your full light to shine.
It’s Not What but Where
Do you ever feel that you’ve done so much prayer or affirmation work in one area but it’s not manifesting? It’s not so much the words you say, it’s the energetic place from which you are doing your spiritual practice that makes the difference.
Rather than focusing on trying to fix the problem, discover the power of playing in the energy of the answer. Master techniques for accessing that higher vibrational-field-of-love where all creation begins and call forth your good now.
I know what it’s like. For years I could not understand why I wasn’t able to break through to the level of success I wanted. I was doing everything I thought would manifest success: having passion, creating a vision board, affirming, praying, taking at least three action steps every day, etc.
In fact, I had some initial success. It was exciting and I was having fun. Yet, at my core I knew there was something important I was ignoring. I thought I knew what would make me happy. It all looked good from the outside.
I loved the idea of running a women-owned business that helped other moms. But it was really an ego-based dream and was never my true purpose.
Then, in a matter of months it all came crashing down. My business partner left suddenly. The fabulous deal we were about to sign for a large retail chain was scrapped. I had product I couldn’t sell stacked up high in my garage, and credit card debt stacked even higher. Then, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
This forced me to do some intensive self-reflection. That turned out to be exactly what I needed. I discovered that my self-confident exterior was all window-dressing.
Deep down I had enormous self-doubt. I needed other’s acceptance in order to accept myself. Who was I really? And what was my true purpose?
After years of deep reflection and personal spiritual practice, I discovered effective methods for embracing complete self-acceptance and self-love. I also discovered strategies for releasing all the self-sabotaging patterns that can kill a dream.
I’m thrilled to say that I’m now cancer free and the happiest I’ve ever been. I am living my vision, successfully helping others break through to their greatest joy and purpose.
Victoria Loveland-Coen gives us brilliant guidance to help us out of what can occur as a never-ending maze of popular new thought spirituality that can lead us to believe we are spiritually failing. She delivers on her promise to answer what’s not working and how to allow your magnificence to emerge, and she does this BOTH for the individual spiritual aspirant AND for the whole New Thought Movement.
