One of the very first posts I read on Liana Shanti’s IG was about stories. Stories we start telling ourselves when we are children. One of those stories was: “My parents did the best they could”. It hit me instantly. Like a lightning. I knew I had told myself this story for decades and I knew it was a lie
What would unfold ever since that moment I could have never imagined. The lies that were uncovered, the painful realizations and revelations, the undeniable truth, that I had been living in a complete fantasy and illusion my whole life. Created, perpetuated and reinforced by my own parents. So they could cover up all the shit that was going on - and maybe even more so - shield themselves from facing their own trauma and pain.
❤️ The truth is: They did NOT do the best they could. They never took accountability or responsibility for their healing. EVER. They chose to live in utter darkness and give up their souls. They never showed me what unconditional love is, self-worth, empowerment, the limitlessness of life, the fact that we always have choice, that I am inherently worthy because I was made by the Divine.
To the outside we looked like the perfect family. Big house and garden with swimming pool, never any financial issues, as both my parents had safe jobs. Several vacations a year. A huge social network. What I wasn´t aware of was that providing in material ways has nothing to do with being unconditionally loved. Unconditional love didn´t exist in my family, as my parents didn´t receive it themselves. So how could they give it to me?
I started with the Mother Wound program. The relationship with my mother had gotten difficult and exhausting even before diving into it. I had started to distance myself a little, because I felt I was running in circles with her, never getting anywhere. However, I never knew what was actually going on. I truly believed we had a normal, actually a great relationship. I should be so grateful, right?
In the MW program Liana describes the archetypes of mothers, their traits and patterns. When she discussed the narcissistic mother, it was like a wall collapsed within seconds. To every 30 traits or so I instantly remembered several situations. My mother a high level narc? I wasn´t able to move physically for days after this realization. My body started to purge. The tsunami started to break.
Ever since it has been a cycle of new realizations, purging, grieving, integrating, and healing. A never ending cycle of truths and layers that my inner children had been carrying for so long were finally allowed to emerge. The truth about my father not being my biological father, about having been sexually abused by him and others, about the circumstances that led to my cerebral palsy and that my mother tried desperately to cover up and so much more..
Living with constant drama, soul-draining jobs, utter fear and anxiety towards men, massive insecurity, gossip, alcohol, cigarettes, toxic food, fear of expressing my truth, desperate urge to please other people …
What Liana Shanti and her teachings mean to me and my life and how they have changed my perception of reality – and continue to - is hard to put into one IG post. Her teachings have not only saved me from a life in darkness, toxicity, deception, numbing and so much more, but she showed my soul the way out. She laid out the red carpet called Jesus with the door leading out the wheel of reincarnation on this earth.
Never dragging or pushing, never any expectations or rules to oblige to. She is standing at the side, patiently guiding, encouraging, empowering, consoling, clarifying and teaching.
However, I have to walk the walk and step through that door myself. No one is doing it for me. Full self-accountability and self-responsibility.
And this red carpet is mostly not a shiny sparkly walk in the park, especially at the beginning of this healing journey. It´s nothing but a shit show, muke-raking, falling down, crawling to move forward anyhow, tears and sadness for what could have been but wasn´t, confusion about next steps, darkness constantly throwing shit in the way.
I had been immersed in the New Age for quite a while and I learned and improved some things. However, the level of RESULTS and LIFEPROOF with Liana Shanti´s teachings is unmatched.
And I have only just begun my journey. I feel more peace, confidence, authenticity, courage, gratitude every day. I live in the deep knowing that I am able to overcome every challenge and layer that is still ahead.
I moved to a much more relaxed and light- and sun-filled country. I quit my old job, and am now able to flexibly self-schedule my relaxing freelancer jobs while I am creating my own business. I am much more aware of my body and what is telling me and listen. I cut out my entire toxic and abusive family without feeling guilt or shame.
I can´t really explain why with every fiber of my being, heart and soul, I know that THIS is the way. I just do. I knew it right from the start and nothing in the universe can convince me otherwise. I am beyond grateful for this trust.
Liana, I love you with my heart and soul. I will be forever and ever grateful that you chose this path and being the voice of Jesus at this time, which is often not easy for you as well. Thank you for everything. In love and gratitude always.
