Initially when our foundations are rocked, when we lose our external security, we feel very fragile. In that moment, we have a choice. Am I the Phoenix and rise from the ashes or do I just keep wallowing in the ashes?

I was a very focused and determined woman and I always got what I wanted. But once I had it, there was another future moment when I had to attain something else. These internal yearnings keep happiness in a future moment.

You can have all the external experiences but you have to be the love first.

There's a part of us that is addicted to suffering, that equates love with suffering.

I lost everything. When I was 28 years old, I lost my home, my job, my partner. I had many people die in my life. I felt like a total victim.

By losing my external things, I found myself. I found something very powerful, very permanent, that I could have with me all the time.

What I teach is how to go inside and reach that place I call "love consciousness." This is a place of peace and joy that is within all humans.
