Your lover left you. Or perhaps you left your lover. The pain in your heart is so great you want to run away or hide forever.

You feel numb, dead after your divorce. You can't understand what happened. The relationship is over and you do not know why she or he did not want you anymore.

What can you do to feel better? What can you do to heal?

Will the pain ever stop? Can you open your heart and love again? How can the next relationship be better?

When my heart was broken at the age of 34, the heartache and pain in my body was unbearable. I could not sleep or eat. All I could do was cry.

I felt alone, unlovable and betrayed.

It felt like all the trust I had placed in people and in my world was ripped and torn away from me.

What I had trusted in, betrayed me.

What I believed in, was no longer valid or true.

My ripping heartache in this unbearable moment was difficult to stay alive in. As I cried up and down my stairs, in my center city house, I vowed to get to the bottom of what was going on inside of me and outside of me. I did not want this pain to ever happen to me again.

I vowed to become more open and more loving instead of becoming bitter and closed.

This choice was one of the best I ever made. From this moment on, my heart began to stir, feel, bloom and blossom.

I did get to the source, the root, of what was going on inside of me.

Almost immediately I found my authentic self, as opposed to my image self, who had always tried to please others in order to be loved.

You too can learn to open your heart so you feel more alive, increase your self esteem and find lasting, permanent love.

Right from the beginning, on the first tape or Cd or chapter, called "Feelings. the source of authentic love." You find your own authentic self who leads you straight to real emotions, everyday joy and your purpose in life.

No kidding. I guarantee you will find your vital power and energy.

I learned the difference between my irrational anxiety and real fear as I stayed with myself in this journey to love myself instead of defend myself. As a result I become more self confident and assertive.

On the second tape, "Fear. the pathway to freedom and joy," you learn how to reduce your anxiety and face your real fears so you become more assertive, stronger and self confident.

Facing my real fear, of not being loved if I did not do what others wanted me to do, had an unexpected outcome. My self judgments became less and less and guilt disappeared.

Your self judgments will lessen, and guilt will not control you any more. How cool is this?

The many ways I was stuck in my past conditioning and false beliefs was revealed to me as I learned to breathe and feel my way through this broken heart of mine.

When you listen to the third tape, "When You're Hurting...." You discover how to stop recreating past negative learning experiences in future relationships. You find the false beliefs which are coloring your world incorrectly so you let others love you more easily.

As I cried through my life long hurts, a natural, healthy process took over and instinctively went to the bottom of my pain. From the source, the root, I healed from the inside out so no one could ever hurt me like that again.

You will become emotionally strong too, as you accept and allow your natural feelings and emotions to empower you and heal you. Your emotional self knows what to do. All you have to do is get your image self out of the way and follow your heart.

Using my psychological training and my years of clinical experience, this is exactly what I show you how to do, step by breath, by feeling your real feelings. (You also learn the difference between a thought and a feeling.)

In each moment of your pain, fear or sorrow you put my comforting voice in your awareness and move though this difficult time in your life with more ease than I did.

You have a guide, a teacher though this upsetting, emotional upheaval who shows you, with love, how to move though the pain and become emotionally healthy.

These tapes, cds, ebook were made to help you stay with yourself in your heartache so you heal your broken heart from the inside out.

Your self esteem improves. You become emotionally and physically stronger, healthier and happier.

With an open instead of closed heart, joy and vibrant moments happen spontaneously because you are in the moment being fully alive and present.

Instead of being guarded, suspicious and defensive you are emotionally strong enough to be open so you receive love and energy from others. You attract love to you and accept it deep into your heart and soul.

I stopped waiting for others and followed my dreams to a new peak which ended up in a Cashew nut tree in Goa, India with Jean Houston, the noted author and pioneer in the human potential movement.

When you pay attention to your authentic self and meet your needs and desires there is no way for you to avoid being happy and satisfied and fulfilled!

The emotional guidance and factual material you hear or read in "Opening the Heart" is the end result of what I learned from living though a broken heart and learning how to heal hearts so they become strong, healthy and happy hearts.

When your defenses are gone you are free and happy. instead of being close, you are open, receptive and loving toward yourself and others.

Opening the Heart teaches you how to take care of yourself when you are alone and when you are in a relationship so you are happy, fulfilled and satisfied. Period. No one can take a real feeling away from you.

No one can ever hurt you like that again. No one has the ability to do so. Your heart is strong, healthy and happy.

Being emotionally healthy is also good for your mental health and physical health. If you have any heart or breast problems in your family know that emotional health is the way to prevent physical problems. Or improve them after they occur.

Everyone has emotional wounds because this world is not emotionally safe for little boys or girls or adult men or women.

Precious few people are comfortable with their own feelings and emotions so it's up to you to help yourself or find those who are at home with emotions and feelings.
