The Surprising Route to Happiness

My very first desire is that you follow what you want and NOT what you think you should do. The first is freedom, the second leads only to guilt and resentment. I do not care so much about whether you ever buy from me, because I care more about YOU finding freedom in choice in your own life. If I teach this stuff, I have to live by it to be in integrity with myself. OK, so on to today. We have a world blowing up in destruction and millions of people directing us on how to be happy. How did this seeming contradiction happen?It happened this way:  The bypassing of deeper emotions, the disregard for ALL of you, every parts and even (especially) the parts you don’t like, were told were bad, shameful, not ok, not allowed. 😀 Sure, positive thinking does help. Looking on the bright side and feeling grateful do help. 🫣 But until the shadows get seen, heard, felt and accepted, they will always win. You will always be trying to reach an unreachable destination.So for those of you who have been endlessly trying to feel happy (happy is not a word I use often) and reach it sometimes, followed by a plunge into darkness, I recommend you stay in the darkness just for a little while, look around, see who and what is there and what is trying to be seen and released. It is not who you are.And for those who want more ease, less tension, more okay-ness, less pressure to strive, be someone or somewhere else, or who feel not-good-enough or too-much, this is for you.I am convinced that I feel alive and at ease most of the time is because I have accepted all parts of myself so far. There’s always more to come because there is always more to us. It has not always been fun, or comfortable, and sometimes it’s downright frightening, and sometimes funny. This is what I am guiding a group of women through for a week starting next Monday. Each day, one class, all recorded. ✅ You will end up with a roadmap that will integrate into your body and eventually will become second nature to you. No more resistance, no more war inside yourself, and a big YES to life. ✅ That’s what I want for you. If that is what you want too, here’s the link:❤️ Choose Yourself: Awaken Your Aliveness Oct. 12th-19th, 11am PST. And if it’s not, say a big YES to that too!Lots of love,Madeleineps. At my last house sit in England.

It is not who you are.

And if it’s not, say a big YES to that too. I am at my last house sit in England then back home. This trip has been a feeling of freedom mixed with stress/excitement. I am grateful I have slowly designed my life over time, one choice at a time, to suit my lifestyle, my desires and my devotion. I am devoted to this work and also to living it out in my own life, whatever that looks like from day to day.

I have always been convinced that it IS possible to live feeling free and alive and this has been my guiding light. It has taken me through many iterations and slowly it has brought me to see and tackle the conditioning of systems of fear that have corrupted and distorted our lives, our bodies and our minds. This is the main cause of suffering on the planet, the brainwashing of “you should feel very afraid.”

I’m not buying it. Until I am faced with a real threat.

Join me in this revolution to re-imagine life, the world and our bodies by releasing the program and peeking into the magic that lies underneath. I see it everyday, in the sunrise, in people, in nature and in life. Pure beauty.

Embrace Anger to End the Drama

Stuck in a loop of angry thoughts.  Going over and over scenarios, yelling at the injustice of it all.  I can’t believe they did that. I can’t believe this is happening.  How could they be so hurtful, stupid, unaware? Do you find yourself in this quagmire of boggy, dense thinking?
