**WARNING: LEIJA GETS A BIT EMOTIONAL IN THIS VIDEO** You never know how much of a positive and powerful influence you have on others simply through being your authentic self! :) The more you love and accept yourself, the more TRUE you are to yourself in every way, the more love, joy, and beautiful experiences will flow into your life! This is a lesson that took me a while to fully understand. I had to go through a lot of rejection and pain, but I finally decided that I had enough at one point in my life, many years ago. I was tired of hiding aspects of myself that I felt were weird, in fear of what others would think. So I made the conscious decision to begin to listen to my heart over any other voice. I will tell you, it is a process (since we are all so programmed), but the more I dedicated myself to discovering, "What is Leija all about? What is Leija's heart saying?" And the more I said NO to those limiting thoughts that said there was wrong with me for being who I authentically was, the more I grew into my power.

Now I'm at a point where I absolutely LOVE my job- I connect with the most wonderful people! Sure, my job requires a lot of effort. Anyone who works with people doing any kind of counseling or teaching work can probably relate. BUT, I love connecting with people, helping them get down to the root of their dis-ease, guiding and inspiring! :) If I had listened to all the people who told me I would fail at this job, or that I should just get a "normal" or "safe" job, then I would probably feel very disconnected from my source, from the LOVE right now! But I didn't! I listened to ME!!! I listened to my inner voice, that said, "Leija, follow your highest excitement! Follow your passions! You will be supported!!!" And even though I still had a little bit of fear there (of the unknown), which I think is normal, I went for it anyway because my heart was telling me to and I knew deep down I could do it! I took out a loan, purchased this very expensive quantum biofeedback technology ($21 000 for the technology and training) and was certified within a couple months. I did have a background in nutrition and other holistic modalities, yet had no idea how I was going to be my own boss and support myself doing this.... But I did. Through a lot of networking, having an enthusiastic attitude, and a willingness to put myself out there, I received a steady client base after about 6 months. A couple years later, I started uploading onto youtube, simply being my authentic self, and now I receive 98% of my clients through youtube- So it's all long-distance meaning I have the freedom to travel and live anywhere I want! Sure, it's a lot of work, but I love it! :) I help people in such profound ways, and its evident through the feedback I receive. Knowing that I'm helping people simply by being my radiant self, sharing my love, knowledge, advice, etc. fills me with SO MUCH GRATITUDE!!! I mean, an EXTREME amount of joy!!! =)

If there is anyone out there right now who is not happy with their career, relationship, and essentially anyone who is not being true to who they really are, I encourage you to have a serious conversation with your heart. I recommend doing the exercise I talk about in the end of this video. :) It may seem simple, but it can really help you! If you're in relationships right now that are unhealthy, where there is no respect, maybe it's time to cut the chords.

Or, perhaps you're not in too many relationships because you've experienced so much rejection, and you're afraid of experiencing more. If this is the case, your answer lays within loving YOU, accepting you, and remembering that the more you love, accept and support yourself, the more loving and supportive people you will attract into your life. If you are looking to connect with spiritually open people, for example, I highly encourage you to seek out some type of meditation class or weekly healing (meet-up) group in your area. You are bound to meet a lot of wonderful people there!

If you are currently not working at a job that aligns with your passions, you may want to ask yourself why? Why are you choosing to believe that you have to suffer? Feel miserable? Dead inside? These are simply belief systems that you can change. Start by connecting to your heart, surrounding yourself with a lot of loving, supportive people who will be there as your mirror... to mirror back to you who you *really* are, which is absolutely worthy of manifesting your heart's true desires!

I love you and I know who you *really* are! YOU ARE AH-MAY-ZING! You deserve to be happy! Remember, you are so dearly loved!!! ETERNALLY LOVED!!!

Lots of love & blessings,

Leija

  • ppl múst be more in nature, it is one of the keystones towards self love and authenticity!!

  • @Mueiwark Totally! I'd be lost without nature. Whenever I'm feeling a bit disconnected or down, I'll usually commune with nature, and I instantly feel better & more like myself. There have been so many times when nature has reminded me of the truth and brought me back on track. Nature is such an amazing teacher and healer!!! This is why I talk about nature in so many videos and encourage people to connect with nature every single day!!!! =)

  • I hope/think I'll run into you some day, so that I can thank you for what your messages have brought me. You've reminded me of who I am, and have inspired me. When I need some help and inspiration, I watch your videos, and instantly feel lighter and more capable. Next paycheck, I'm making a donation to you, because of my gratitude. In the future, perhaps I'll get to enjoy one of the Hawaii retreats! Love to you! <3 Abby
