Maybe, you have been ghosted and your person has gone incognito, or you are the one that had the courage to leave. Whether it was your choice or not, you are faced with no contact and you might be feeling sad, frustrated, anxious or confused, or worst of all you feel like a complete failure and wonder how to survive now that love is gone. You are feeling that way because you are experiencing emotional withdrawal. I am here to help! In this episode I will show you how to not just survive a break-up, but actually thrive. It's time to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of your old self and rise to the other side.

Co-addicted relationships consist of a rather painful dance of pursuit and avoidance. That dance might feel exhilarating at first, but in the end robs both of a fair chance to manifest their desperate longing for real emotional intimacy. Learn more about the dynamics between anxiously and avoidantly attached lovers.

Healing Love Addiction can be a bumpy road and oftentimes you might think that love will never happen for you - just as I did. Oh boy, was I wrong. Epic love is possible, especially when you have done the needed healing work to step out of Love Addiction or dysfunctional relationships.

We are faced with an exceptionally challenging time right now during Covid-19. Not only do we find ourselves in an economic crisis, but we are also confronted with feelings of isolation, loneliness, anxiety and fear of survival and the unknown. Never has it been more important to build inner resilience to better cope with the situation. We need more love and connection than ever to regulate the threat response in our brain and soothe our nervous system. Only that now we are forced to find new ways and focus on giving that to ourselves. We profit from a dedicated daily spiritual practice to continuously raise our frequency from fear to love. This guided meditation will help you practice the powerful method of “self-holding” that allows you to bring yourself back into balance within yourself whenever you need it.

One question all of my listeners, clients and friends have in common is: “Aleah, how do I actually dive into my feelings? It seems so difficult to do so!” or “I haven’t cried for years, what does it take?” – I feel you! It took me a lot of practice to get there myself but you need not to worry. For exactly these reasons, I created an episode where I talk solely about how to access feelings.

Not to forget, practice makes the master, so be patient and keep going. You’ve got this!

I created it for one of my clients and she reported back that it really helped her to dive deeper into her feelings and eventually find balance again. So I decided to make it available for you all. Do it once you are at home, with privacy, with headphones on, laying down so you can fully focus on it and relax into it. Let it affect you and repeat it as many times as you would like. Let me know how it went for you.

Listen to my epic interview with Kevin Oroszlán, (R)Evolutionary Coach, where we’re going to talk about Kings & Queens, meaning the healthy and even divine masculine and feminine that are in much need for all of us at a point where the old and outdated masculine model is being exposed worldwide. We’ll look at the qualities of both the King and the Queen that truly make relationships work where mutual support for growth and healing takes place instead of drama, neediness and resentment. We’re also throwing in some interesting aspects about Sexual Alchemy and Sacred Sexuality – how does sex look like in 2018? Sacred Sexuality is the King’s and Queen’s discipline that can transform anything that is not working. We’ll also talk about the importance of men’s work for every guy to be able to integrate his shadow side that naturally exists within every male. There is a huge rise of the Goddess with all the women’s gatherings and red tents around the world. And the shift is also happening for men where they learn to appreciate the importance of men being with other men in a non-sensual but brotherly way to become the true King, Warrior, Lover & Magician, how Kevin calls it.

Recovering from Love Addiction is not an easy thing. There might be setbacks along the way, and that’s perfectly natural. The one thing that helps us moving another step forward, however, is to realize when we are falling back into the illusion. When everything urges us to just “get one more shot.” When intense feelings surface, our reality gets distorted because our feelings make something seem real when in fact it’s mostly “just” our feelings. We then act irrational and in non-conducive ways. Listen to a real-life example of a client who has almost fallen back into the trap, but through awareness and the right guidance, he was able to keep pushing towards healing.

Compromising when it comes to sex, it is a sure way of putting yourself in a disempowered state of being. The way you do sex is a clear measurement of how much you value and respect yourself and how solid your standards are. At what point are you compromising on your standards and why? Risk to be rejected; a no to someone else is a yes to yourself! There is nothing worse than lousy compromised sex. Don’t ever compromise on that one!
