Just saw a wonderful movie last night called “Bliss”…it’s a film about a marriage on the rocks and the willingness to do extraordinary things by surrendering to the power of love.  It’s a tale about a woman who is unable to experience complete safety in her husband’s arms even though he loves her totally, and her healing as she follows his lead into Higher Love.  What she discovers underneath her inability to trust is that she was sexually abused by her father.  This devastating revelation explains so much about her behavior, and the opening of this secret from her body’s memory enables she and her beloved husband to work together to heal their marriage, transforming them both as individuals and as a couple.

This movie was a suprise to me; it touched us deeply and invited wonderful and important discussion afterward as we took a walk to process the film.  I really shouldn’t be surprised by how deeply I was impacted by it, as it echoes the journey that Peter and I have been on these last almost 26 years.  I know firsthand the amazing transformative power of love because my husband served in a similar role for me as the husband in the film.

The kind of love that I’ve experienced with Peter is the kind of love I dreamed about as a child.  Not a fairy tale kind of love, all built of air castles and make believe, but a love that was safe, enduring, trustworthy.  I knew when I was very young that this was the kind of love that I would have; over years of relationships that never came close to my inner compass’ idea of love, I began to get jaded and to believe it would never happen.  It’s when I gave up that it did.

It’s when I surrendered all of my defense mechanisms, all of my constructs, my mental sparring and my emotional protection that I opened myself to the greatest love I’ve ever seen, heard of, and certainly experienced.  This is why we say

[Tweet “”Everything you want is on the other side of fear.””]

After all that we have been through, we know that our greatest potential lies beyond what scares us the most.  And that a relationship of love is the container that makes true alchemy possible.  25 years ago I was a scared little girl in a young woman’s body, unable to trust myself to navigate a world that was too frightening for me.  Now, I am a confident woman who is ready to offer the world my wisdom, the result of personal experience of traveling the inner landscape of healing and transformation.
