Would you know if you're being blocked from Love?
I sure didn't — until I was unblocked.
I thought I was fine.
I didn't know what I was missing.
Let's be vulnerable. Here, I'll go first.
My name is Leah Dawang
& for over a decade,
I've been clearing the way in my life.
And I tell you what, I had my fair share of stuff in the way. I lived life believing I was fine because I thought I should be and trauma was reserved for the 'big' things other people experienced.
Now that sentence makes my skin crawl.
The thing is, I never thought anything was bad enough to take action.
​
"Sure, I am overwhelmed with sadness and fear. Who isn't?" I told myself. "Yeah, I have a collection of broken relationships, an inky thought life and feel disconnected from my body. Who doesn't?" I justified.
Then, in 2010, I found myself debilitated and reaching out for help. I was at war with a ravenous eating disorder, had loads of trauma and couldn't maintain any sort of loving relationship — including with myself. In pain and confusion, I navigated what felt like a maze of thorns in the dark of night.
Years later, I emerged and experienced receiving Love for the first time.
​
Elated with freedom, I was surprised when someone told me, "You haven't seen anything yet."
​
"How much better could it get?" I mused.
That's when it hit:
We are created for unlimited Love and blockages from trauma keep us from receiving it, which means they keep us from giving it.
​
Not just big things but the "little things" too.
Since then, I've been on a journey of clearing, receiving and giving and Love has transformed my life.
​
Now I support other people — like you! — clear the way so they can receive and give Love too.
​
Are you ready?
