Hi Diana,

I love your determination and positive outlook. Great for you!

Wishing you a powerful and incredible hip recovery! This is intense what you are doing and definitely not for the fainthearted.

Thank you for your lovely comment and blessings.

Much Love, healings and blessings to you

Mel 🙏💕💚

Dear Melanie,

Your work is wonderful! I discovered you after reading and working with other healers, many also very good.

Eventually I would love to join your Thrive program but not this year. Having hip replacement surgery in August and all hands on deck building the strongest hips in my community so I can resume running eventually post-surgery (runner for 56 years, not about to give it up). Also lots of pet sitting and recovery logistics and finances to manage as I have five cats (and 14 stairs).

Unfortunately this year the “outer self” needs repairing (delays due to the pandemic) and I have learned not to over-commit on the repair work. Physical therapy is full-time work! Pilates, running and the boring-but-necessary hip therapy work to build strength and fitness pre-surgery (just like training for a marathon). Recovery will be that much faster and easier.

Thank you for your incredible work. Have a great Thrive program!

P.S. Aging ain’t for sissies!

Thank you Shelly!

Please know how welcome you are

Mel 🙏💕💚

Pen: I seem to relate to what you write here, in that a good part of me has needed a lot of re-connection with physical awareness and physical contact and physical experience with myself in my body. The true experience of physical life energy movement in the body, by whatever name, also includes the emotional experience inherent in physical life energy movement in the body — that is, not depending on idealized, or picture-sourced, or mimicked emotion. Looking back, I think that it took some building up of consistency in the flow and movement of inner body sensation and inner body emotion, deeply enough — which I imagine is the normal state of self awareness in energetically healthy people — that it then made sense to take my inner self-contact continuum and straddle it upon a written or verbally guided self-help process — such as NARP has also been — and this involved my reciprocating with that guidance, because I then had some internal continuum of experience to put into written, spoken or actional expression. If you relate to this, then I am happy to not just hand you another “say-what?”. I was too self-dissociated to follow self-help processes until I had gained enough continuity of body self-contact, so as to include that inner experience (sensation and emotion) in the self-help process. I’m reflecting on this as having had a kind of sensory-emotional Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD or ADHD in clinical parlance) that made me quickly dissociate away from modules that involved emotional confront and emotional healing — but then I also remember that this also required me to choose to gradually build up the guts and internal disposition to actually have and to actually confront and to actually follow through with the dis-infection of those feelings — and to make the space for them to change inside of me, and mature in their own unexpected ways, that I could adapt new behavior for. A saying goes: One doesn’t know what one can do, until one has to undo it. I hope this has maybe been helpful, and trust that other things will follow (oh, yes, the will to heal has required and nagged for long hauls of trust). But it may also be that your path includes other elements, so please be open to those, too.

Hello Melanie,

I’m trying to make this short. When I think of the narcissists in my life, my own older sisters, and highly toxic ones they are, I think, I needed them. In the long run, they helped me to look inward at my own inner childhood wounds that needed healing. If they weren’t there doing what they do best (narcissist), I would have never looked inward to heal myself. They prompted that. Granted, I took a lot of abuse and that did take time. It’s too bad we have to go through the emotional and reputation damage they do to us to see this. But if it weren’t for them being who they are, (narcissists). I would have never looked inward. So they did serve a purpose in my life. Albeit a twisted one and none to be desired. But they actually helped me in healing the wounded child I had within. So they did serve a purpose. I just wish it wasn’t so damaging what they did. It’s over now though and I’m healed within myself. They can’t touch me anymore and I did break all contact with them. I actually had to expose them for who they really are. They’ll never get it though and that’s their problem, not mine. Thank you so very much for all of your encouragement and NARP. Marty Smith

Hi Andrea,

sending you strength, energy and healing for your True Life ahead.

Mel 🙏💕💚

Haha Shelly,

that is hilarious!

Yes, sweetheart, the dreams are your subconscious letting you know there is trauma to release from within there.

I am so happy for you that you have now a beautiful partner and new life and that you are going to continue with NARP.

You do deserve it all!

Thank you for your beautiful words.

Sending love and even more joy to you

Mel 🙏💕💚
