My biggest false belief throughout my whole life was that I had no options and that scarcity was 'normal'. Not enough to go around. Not enough money, no good men out there, no work posts - just no options for me. I had to take my lot and suffer through it. Born into an abusive family, continued the pattern with abusive partners in adulthood. I didn't see any way out, although had been in traditional therapy for over a decade.

I never fully grasped this whole concept of 'the subconscious', of patterns repeating... let alone have any solution for it. I lived my life of quiet desperation, knowing no other way.

A few years ago, I ran across Melanie's website, and signed up for the free program. It resonated, so I continued with her NARP Program.

Boom. My life exploded. In all ways possible. First, it was intense. Cleaning out the toxicity from my life. Focusing on myself, after decades of catering to the wishes and whims of others. At first, I didn't even know where to start? I was alone, broke, with no support whatsoever. Just how were these 'modules' - energetic meditations supposed to help me?

I started anyways with Module 1. I had no idea what 'accessing my feelings meant'. I understood anger and 'kind-of' contentness - the feeling after a good run, or having drinks at a bar. I was completely cut off from any feeling state. How I grew up, showing feelings was a weakness. So I found one of those 'feeling wheels' from google and started learning.

After a few sessions of Module 1, I felt lighter, clearer, more focused, I was getting the hang of this! Most importantly, I was dedicating time to myself each and every day.

I was learning what self-love meant in practice. And that's what made all the difference.

Self-love in action.

Commitment to self. Every day, another chip of my false beliefs fell away, revealing my true nature, my authentic self. Showing me I was a person worthy of love and respect.

I continued with the NARP modules, approaching and healing my many inner wounds from different aspects. As I opened up - my world started opening up as well.

I was someone, when starting NARP, had days when I didn't have enough to eat after paying the bills, and no knowledge of what 'self-soothing' and self-compassion meant, whereas now, I have created a life of loving abundance in all spheres. I strived to rise above any and all distractions - the hunger at times, the loneliness, the tiredness, the utter despair on occasion - just focused on working the modules and tending to healing my subconscious.

NARP was instrumental is 'bridging that internal gap' of the HOW. How do I get out of this post-abuse slump and 'get going' - because although it is always possible to 'get on with it', without doing the inner work - one only re-creates past patterns and problems.

It is true - when YOU make that decision to fully support yourself and have your own back - Life, or 'the Universe' will grant you opportunities you never could have envisioned.

I cannot recommend Melanie's NARP program enough, along with the NARP Forum which provides unconditional support to all members, always 'drumming in' the importance of self-love, loving yourself enough to get out of any abusive or toxic situation, and finally Heal. Rise. Thrive.
