Beloved
Friend,
 It’s an exciting week this week for me.  I have my birthday on Wednesday (January 20th) and am getting ready to attend a spiritual retreat in Idyllwild, CA with Bodhisattva Shree Swami Premodaya. It will be four days of an inner-voyage, that is for sure! I can think of no better birthday present, and am looking forward to seeing what the coming days reveal. As I am busy packing and getting ready, I wanted to send you this week’s e-zine.
Before you read any further, there is a wonderful opportunity to donate and help the victim’s of the recent devastation in Haiti. For anyone who does not yet know, Haiti was hit with an earthquake that has devastated the country, leaving untold numbers of people either dead, or without food, water, shelter, and very little help in sight. It is a mind and heart-numbing tragedy. Relief workers have said the very best thing you can do to help is to donate money. You can also donate airline miles and other travel-related assistance. Learn more here: http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/help-haiti-through-y-6244/. In a time like this, every bit of generosity is of benefit, so just check and see what, if anything, you can do to help. We are nearing the start of my upcoming course You Were Born Beautiful. If you are interested in the course, please register as soon as possible. Take advantage of this opportunity to experience the beauty that you are and always have been. Learn how to break free from self-negating thoughts and beliefs so you are able to live a life of unsurpassed beauty, wisdom, and grace. If you have any questions about this course, you can email me directly at sarahmaria@sarahmaria.com or call 510-326-9610. [There might be a slight delay in my response, since I am on retreat, but I will get back to you.] Given that this course is scheduled to start in the wake of this horrific disaster, we will be addressing the deep implications of a tragedy like this. Many times when we are confronted with this type of catastrophe, we wonder how and why something like this happens. Why does massive tragedy strike? What can we do to help? How can we heal ourselves so that we are truly free to help others however we can? When you help yourself, you help others. When you help others, you help yourself. Also, just a reminder that product discounts are only good until the end of this month, so take advantage of the opportunity by clicking here. Please check out this week’s article on Living the Mystery, as well as two great new books Think or Sink and Get Real and Stop Dieting! As always, I love to hear your comments at www.breakfreebeauty.com/blog. Wishing you a beautiful week as always,

NEW! Upcoming Tele-course with Sarah Maria
 Every single baby is born beautiful. A baby is not beautiful because of what it does, how much money it makes, what kind of relationships it has, how much it weighs, or any other factor. No, a baby is beautiful simply because – simply because it exists. Seems obvious, right?
Now here is the secret: as you age, as you develop, you never lose this inherent beauty. It simply continues to grow and develop – your life is your beauty unfolding. Do you relate to yourself as a beautiful baby? Or do you relate to yourself as tired, worn-out, wrinkled, overweight, or somehow deficient in some way? Do you see your life as your beauty unfolding, or do you experience it as a struggle, a stress, a strain? This course is an exquisite invitation to help you see the beauty and perfection that is already inside of you in this very moment. It has been with you since the day you were born, and it will always be with you. Are you willing to live the reality of your perfection? Or are you resigned to continue to live a life of delusion based on the mistaken idea that you are not quite perfect exactly the way you are? This course is an opportunity to let go of everything that is not serving you, will not serve you, and cannot serve you. And it is an opportunity to step into the grace that can fill your life with magic, mystery, and beauty. It is a great value, truly, with 3 full-class sessions and 2 hour-long private coaching sessions with Sarah Maria. The value of the coaching sessions alone is $500, and the entire course is being offered for $347. Think or Sink By Gina Mollicone-Long

Live the Mystery
How willing are you to live in the mystery? How willing are you to live the mystery? Or another way to ask this question is how willing are you to allow the mystery to live you?
You see, you live in mystery. Or, better said, you are a living mystery. Very few people are ready and willing to accept this mystery. The mind wants to figure the mystery out, seeking to grasp and hold onto the mystery. The mind asks:
And there is nothing wrong with these questions. Yet the deepest longing of your heart and soul, the deep yearning for truth, cannot be grasped and understood – it can only be experienced. I heard a story once that a great scientist (I think Einstein) said: “God doesn’t play dice with the universe”. With the advent of quantum physics, another leading scientist reveled: “God not only plays dice, but he throws the dice where no one can find them.” This is simply a way of saying that we are part of a mystery that cannot be explained, that cannot be understood, that cannot be grasped. But it can be experienced. The mystery can be revealed; you can literally experience a revelation; you can experience the revelation of the mystery. In my experience, the fastest way to experience this mystery, to live this mystery, is through the heart. When you live from the heart, you transcend the mind. For many people, the mind serves as a barrier to the experience of truth. Not because the mind is bad, not because the mind is wrong, but simply because the mind has been conditioned, trained, away from truth. The mind has been conditioned to have all sort of beliefs, ideas, attitudes, and assumptions. And none of these beliefs can show you the mystery of reality, the mystery of life, because this mystery can only be experienced directly. It can be experienced not through thinking, feeling, or doing, but rather through surrendering. It is natural, almost inevitable, to be afraid of living the mystery because living the mystery means seeing that you are not in control. For those of us who like to think we control life, or at the very least control ourselves, surrendering to the mystery can seem daunting, overwhelming, even unbearable. Yet the truth of the matter remains – we are part and parcel of an incredible mystery. And we do not control the mystery. It is when you are willing to surrender to this mystery we call life that true beauty can begin to reveal itself. So take some time this week to reside in the heart. Reside in your heart and see if you can let the mystery guide you to an experience of your exquisite nature. |

Coaching with Sarah Maria
 Are you ready to take your life to the next level? Are you ready to commit to transformation for real?
If you know more is possible in your life, if you are yearning to break free from limiting thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors, consider hiring a personal coach. I personally guarantee that I would not be where I am today without the help of amazing teachers, mentors, and coaches. I am going to be writing more in the coming months about the importance of investing in yourself because this has been a key ingredient in my own transformation, and in the success of my colleagues. For now, let me just say that you are worth absolutely every penny. When you invest in yourself, you are making a phenomenal investment that will serve you consistently and produce a manifold return. If you are looking to finally end your struggle with food and your body and create lasting peace with both, or improve any other area of your life, consider personal coaching. If you are ready to take your personal and spiritual evolution to the next level; if you find yourself in the midst of change and wanting guidance, consider personal coaching. To learn more about personal coaching with me, read client testimonials, and decide whether it might be a good fit, visit www.breakfreebeauty.com/coaching. Consider what one of my teachers and co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul says about coaching: “You would never expect an athlete to reach the Olympic Games without a world-class coach. Nor would you expect a professional football team to enter the stadium without a whole team of coaches…today coaching has moved into the business and personal realm to include coaches who have succeeded in your area of interest – who can help you traverse this same path or even one far greater. Of all the things that successful people do to accelerate their trip down the path to success, participating in some kind of coaching program is at the top of the list.”
--Jack Canfield, The Success Principles – How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. I would be truly honored for an opportunity to accompany you along your path of total transformation! |
