    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

    I would like to thank my mother for introducing me to the world of alternative health, for being unquestioningly supportive, and for making sure I was fed and housed during the times I took big chances.

    I thank my partner Craig Wynn for loving me as I figured myself out and for putting up with me when I was very, very cranky.

    I would like to thank my depression for serving as a catalyst for growth and my father’s death via cancer for acting as an unbelievable motivator for learning true healing and acceptance.

    FOREWARD

    Now that it is time to release this book, I realize that many people who read it will be in the same mindset that I was previously and may be tempted to poke holes in many of the concepts and approaches explained throughout. The alternative health world can be odd to navigate. Some methods are kooky and marginally effective, while others are kooky, yet truly brilliant and life-changing.

    I’ve spent a long time focusing on understanding why certain methods work.

    I’ve learned that full, true healing is quite rough. The process is often uncomfortable and turbulent, sometimes for a very long time. In many ways I wouldn’t wish the experience on anyone (though reaching consistent happiness is more spectacular and empowering than I could have imagined). At the same time, I know so many people in this world want to know what it takes to fully heal and to try for themselves, just as I did.

    So here we go.

    INTRODUCTION

    We are all here to learn lessons in this life. Everyone is unique, yet we tend to respond to the struggles of life in a variety of predictable ways. We fear change and want the world outside ourselves to behave and be nice so we feel better, but this method often leaves us back in the same place when the next trying situation arises.

    At least this is a common way in the US.

    Or we give up hope that things will ever change and settle for being unhappy with the way life is.

    There is a third option, though. A combination of acceptance and inner growth that allows us to be both gentle and strong.

    In this way, it is possible to not be rocked by each passing issue, but to submit to what each one has to teach, all while pursuing that which makes our hearts feel like sunshine.

    It requires a combination of courage and trust.

    What is Steady Bliss?

    We live in an imperfect world. It is far from utopian, but this is okay. It is not intended to be utopian.

    It can be tempting to think that if certain circumstances were different, then everything would be better. Perhaps that if society did not require money, or if politics functioned differently, or if no child were every hungry again, then this world would be great. Growth toward fair treatment and greater opportunities for all are beautiful and needed, but new circumstances in unforeseen areas will always arise.

    This is because we are here to grow. Also, life would be boring without challenges to overcome.

    The point being, accepting this endless cycle allows us to make the choice to grow gracefully rather than waiting for this storm (and the next, and the next, and the next) to pass.

    The feeling of steady bliss is far from ignoring the harsh facts of life. Rather, it is a courageous form of acceptance and the ability to take resourceful actions that allow us to be joyful regardless.

    This may seem difficult; however, the more emotionally stable we are, the more clearly we can think. When our decisions are not rooted in criticism and fear, we can better help ourselves, our loved ones, and our world.

    Resistance Makes Stronger

    It is so very tempting to push back when we feel uncomfortable. We say No world! Don’t you see? It’s suppose to go THIS way.

    Unfortunately, this does not work. At least not for very long.

    In order to feel consistent bliss, resistance cannot be part of the picture.

    We tend to think that resistance is how we show our morals, but the truth is that our morals are not threatened in such instances. Nor does our resistance help solve the situation. This is accomplished by love and action.

    Just like a Chinese finger trap, we must lean into uncomfortable situations in order to move past them.

    It Will Take Time

    The methods in this book are not a quick fix. It has taken years of negative thinking to get your body and mind in their current states. It will take a little while for things to unwind.

    When quick fix methods are taken, the ailments sooner or later return. This is because the underlying cause (usually mental) has not been resolved.

    As you adapt the methods of this book, you may find some parts resolve and leave in a matter of hours or days, while others may take months or years to fully heal.

    As the top layers of healing fade, the deeper layers will begin to show themselves, revealing emotions and body ailments you did not realize were even issues.

    I suggest making the decision to embrace the journey and enjoy the ride.

    Even if it were possible, you likely would not want to heal everything at once. There will be times where the one issue or emotion you are currently working through will feel like a full plate on its own.

    Though healing old wounds is not the easy choice, it is a very rewarding experience. As you learn to love and accept old parts of your world that were cut off long ago, you may find yourself filled
