    About this ebook

    When Lisa Renée’s mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer, both their lives changed in an instant. Lisa was swept up in a whirlwind of fear, anxiety, and despair. Her life had been on autopilot, yet she had been yearning for more but hadn’t realised it until she was awoken with a bang. Whilst supporting her mum on her cancer journey, Renée was sent down her own rabbit hole, pushed on a quest to discover love, acceptance, and ultimate healing. She uncovered a world that also needed to be healed and awakened to the beauty within.

    Through her painful experiences, Lisa’s mission is to share with you her lessons and inspirations so that she can help to empower you in finding your own unique path—one full of abundance and prosperity. We all have the ability to heal, to grow in any direction we desire so that we can find our own true bliss. Do you want to heal every part of yourself: your mind, body, and soul? Do you want to recognise the potential lying dormant inside you? Are you ready to come on a journey full of self-discovery, self-awareness, self-belief, and self-love? By doing so, in time you will be led to discover your own self-health.

    Preface

    Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering.

    —Buddha

    Have you ever wondered or asked what we are doing here? What life is about and why, from where we’re sitting, does there seem to be so much hurt and suffering in this world? I used to ask myself these questions and so many others. They would constantly go round and round in my head, being recycled daily and not ever being answered. It was all an enigma. I had felt pain on so many levels—heartache and utter fear, which I let define me as a person. This was my story. The past owned me, and I refused to let go of it, clinging on for dear life. If I let go of my story, what would become of me? Who would I be without the journey I had already been on? I constantly searched for meaning, trying to discover what the world was trying to tell me. In which direction did it want me to go? But I seemed to fail at finding that path, that relief, that unspoken joy that I once imagined and believed in as a little girl. What I didn’t realise was that my thoughts were on autopilot, and so was my life. I was looking for external answers and others to guide me; I couldn’t move forward because I kept applying old formulas while expecting new experiences. That’s when I remembered the only way to move in the direction I desired was to look within, to discover what my heart was yearning for: my own soul’s purpose.

    It hadn’t always been that way for me. From an early age I had a strong sixth sense; my gut was always my guide. I could tell if someone was lying to me, and I focused on people’s actions rather than their words. I seemed to possess a natural understanding of how the world worked, and it came so easily to me as though it was inherent. My mum always said what a dreamer I was and how I lived in Cloud Cuckoo Land, but I was visualising and constantly manifesting. I would ask, believe, and receive. I existed in this happy state, which meant I was at a level of vibration that kept attracting what I needed into my life. I used to get spooked when what I had imagined came into fruition. In all my innocence, I often believed that I had a special superpower. What I understand now is simply this: I was using the law of vibration to bring these things into my life, effortlessly, without even knowing it. I felt incredibly lucky, with unwavering faith, never doubting or questioning anything—I believed in magic! Awe and wonder permeated my very being, and I lived in a constant state of bliss. I was a child that was rarely upset, angry, or annoyed at anyone; I just went about my day without judgement, with a happy-go-lucky attitude.

    Then it all changed—my bubble burst as real life began to cloud what came naturally to me. I was told on countless occasions that the world didn’t revolve around me, but this confused me, as surely my world did! I quickly learned the reality of society’s perception of real life. I seemed to have the dreamer drummed out of me.

    As time went by, my innocence faded and other people around me were able to influence my life so much that I lost track of something that used to be inside me. I became an open door to criticism and judgemental opinions, which I rapidly absorbed while not being able to filter out what I wanted or didn’t want to store in my subconscious. Secondary school was the biggest turning point in my life and not for the better. I attended an all-girls school for seven years and quickly realised that teenage girls can be devastatingly cruel! I had come from a small, local village-like primary school where all my experiences had been nurturing, protected, and positive. However, in this huge, vast secondary school, with children from all walks of life, I felt a sudden sense that I didn’t fit in and that I never would. All the girls seemed so mature, pretty, bright, and streetwise, whilst I still played with my Barbies! I was forced to grow up quickly, and if you didn’t conform, you would be left behind. I heard judgemental and bitchy conversations that I had never been exposed to in my life, and that became the everyday talk in a girls school. I was around it so much that it became the only way we knew how to communicate.

    My natural, innocent, and dreamlike state eventually got bashed out of me. I lost myself, my authentic voice, where I quickly learnt that my own opinion was not valid. Most of the time I thought differently than others, and it was important to remain under the radar. I desperately wanted to fit in, so I felt I could only be silent—a subservient people pleaser, never going against the grain.

    The messages that came at me from all angles were that I wasn’t working hard enough, I wasn’t clever enough, and I wasn’t concentrating enough, so I would never do well in life. Grades were so important, and one needed to aim high if one wanted to achieve. I was given constant messages that did not match with the way I thought and felt. I never found my niche there and didn’t know who I was anymore. I certainly didn’t know what I would become.

    An uneasiness grew from the inside, which slowly began to show on the outside too; I grew unhappier and more disillusioned with the world. So I began to shut down. My thoughts became my new reality, and it was a gloomy and depressing one. I was painfully shy and hated to speak in front of others, so being in that environment, where everyone was confident and bolshie, set my anxieties into overdrive. My only sanctuary was my home, but even then the homework and extracurricular activities began to affect that safe area of my life too. I hated secondary school with every fibre of my being. My teen years were some of the unhappiest, most depressing years of my life—I really was a fish out of water. I found life exhausting and unfair, so I continued to go through the motions, on autopilot, absentminded, unable to remain in the moment. It would take me many long, agonising years of feeling awkward and being a misfit before I found myself, breaking those internal negative dialogues and discovering the Universe was guiding me.

    I was in my early 20s when I came across a book about cosmic ordering. There was a buzz around it in the media at the time, and I was quite unaware of what it actually entailed. But I was fascinated from the little I heard through the grapevine. I was searching for answers, but I had no idea where to look. At this point of my life I was stuck; I became uninspired and extremely passive. Which direction should I go in? I wasn’t excelling or talented at anything. I was just about an average student with a poor attention span—I had scraped through my A-levels and university and continued to simply coast through life.

    When I discovered this book, I was working part time as a teaching assistant and part time as an extra in the background of TV and films. These two jobs couldn’t have been more different, but they brought variety into my life and seemed to keep me occupied in the interim. It was fun and all very interesting, but it wasn’t what I wanted. I never stood out, as my poor self-image never let me, so I wasn’t going to make it in the TV and film world. I was the first to put myself down; self-deprecation was my comfort zone. I didn’t want anyone else to do it for me, so I got in there first. I was lost. At this point my confidence and self-esteem were at rock bottom since I had been thoroughly messed around in the love life department, left hurt and dejected by all my boyfriends up to this point. Why did I always fall for the bad ones? I felt as though I was a real-life Bridget Jones who began to revel in feeling down and alone. This became quite addictive once I was in this negative spiral. I liked nothing better than to indulge in my sadness while I sat in my room and cried, listening to a soppy ballad by Whitney Houston. What was I going to do? What was my path?

    More than anything, I longed to meet a kind man, have a house like the one I grew up in (on the greenbelt of suburbia), and have beautiful children. But it wasn’t happening—far from it. I always seemed so unlucky in love and in anything I would do, so far removed from that little dreamer I once was. I struggled to put into perspective that I was only 25 at this point and had my whole life in front of me. I had a negative mind-set and a defeatist attitude. I blamed everyone else for my misfortunes; I continued to feel as though I wasn’t good at anything and felt desperately, socially awkward. I never stopped to smell the roses, to look at all the abundance I already had in my life. I didn’t feel the gratitude that I should have as on the face of it, I had so much: a lovely home, a kind and loving family, a job, and some really special friends. I was fortunate enough to experience nice holidays and didn’t really want for much, but I couldn’t help but focus on what I didn’t have rather than what I did. My perception was totally distorted.

    When I read the cosmic ordering book, everything made sense. As I read it, it felt so familiar, like being home. It all sounded simple and so obvious, yet somehow I had forgotten it along the way; it was buried deep inside me. There must have been a little something left as I still had so many blessings in my life. I felt empowered once again and began to consciously follow the law of attraction. I suddenly felt energised and sprang into action! I had been shaken out of my trance, finally discovering which direction I needed to go in.

    Results showed fairly immediately, which surprised me. It is funny, but when you make that firm decision to go after something
