My Journey Into Happiness, Or Whatever That Even Is

I decided to record this video at the last minute today after realizing how a big phase of my life had just ended …. really only just last month during my trip to Hawaii. It’s funny, or maybe it’s not really, how we don’t often see the connection between things until we’ve moved completely through them. I never would have expected that my little adventure to Kaua’i was part of the whole big plan for me that begun in October 2010 but indeed it was. More in the video…

[..YouTube..] Right on! I love all your video’s, and I have to say that I think this is one of my favorite’s. I’m going through the “alone time in nature” stage right now and it just feels so right at this exact time in my life.

#24 Lulu M. on 08.04.12 at 1:55 pm

Whoa. I’m glad you posted this. I’m currently going through what you went through…that constant “pull” from my old life. I’m constantly struggling to get out of my old life…It’s so difficult to just…let go. There are days when I’m strong and brave – those are days I feel like myself. And then there are days where I feel dependent on my past – where I feel like I can’t let go of who I was/still am. Do you think this is something that needs to just take its course? or is there some sort of a decision that has to be made (between the old life and the new)?
I hope this makes sense.
:) Thanks Fran.

[..YouTube..] Hi Fran,

I have little request :)
You mention in the video that you spent lots of time on your own. I’ve been in my spiritual journey for some years now, and I also spend long periods of time with little or no social life. For the most part I love it. But sometimes I think “Dang, right now I’d love to go to -insert place where you don’t feel comfortable going alone-”, and then I realized I haven’t called my friends in a long time.

Can you make a video about loneliness? Thanks in advance!

#31 Farangis08 on 08.04.12 at 3:20 pm

[..YouTube..] This is so unbelievable – all this time I wondered how you manged to get over it. I did have abreakup as well, which hurt more than I wanted to admit to myself. (Kind of since I was the one breaking up it shouldn’t hurt like that… well it did.)
The last 1,5 years I was trying to heal. And now that I just got to the point where I want myself be happy and trust ppl again, you post this vid. This is so motivating! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[..YouTube..] It’s strange, I’ve never been religious but have always been connected spirutally, aware and in awe of nature. And so I feel, daily, that where I am mentally and in my life is not where I am meant to be. That I am too stuck in the lower frequency. But honestly, it’s a struggle and what you said all made sense but also sounds so foreign. Do you have any advice for how to get to the state where you get to feel that internal peace and happiness?

Lulu M.- If you completely surrender to your new life path then it’ll just happen.. the trick is not resisting though ;) It’s so normal to feel a bit out of whack during any transition stage and it may not be so short and sharp.. a gradual process may be what it is for you.

Resilience1983- Absolutely! It’s one of my fave topics :)

Frederica- Oooh please tell me more! My moon is cusp gemini/cancer.

itfelldown- I wish I had better advice but it was so spontaneous. For me it was a matter of setting the intention and opening myself up completely to where my intuition wanted to take me, no matter how unusual it seemed at the time. Most of my transformations have occurred simply through connecting with nature but it’s different for everyone :) I’m in Peru right now and for many it’s through working with the medicine here.

Fran, maybe as you say there is something special going on with the energy of 2012, but I also feel that something has shifted inside me. I can’t say I’m having the exact same type of transformation but there is…something. I’ve mostly been going with the flow, trusting that the universe will guide me through whatever is meant to happen. The problem is, lately I’m been feeling that my current world here at home is sort of holding me back…but of course it’s hard to make a permanent change similar to what you did (move to a different country). I sort of think that things will eventually shift for me, maybe at a slower rate. Do you think going away was a big part of your shift? Or do you think it would have happened anyway if you were in Oz?

[Reply]

Fran Reply:

I’m sure it’s all of us honey bun! And yes, I do believe that going away was a massive part of my shift but mainly because I was just tuning in and listening to where I was meant to go.. and it was here.
