Onions and Artichokes Understanding the Deepest Layers Within, A Recipe For Genuine Happiness

Resulting from her profound personal transformation, Lisa Marie has identified the anchors that keep many of us feeling stuck in patterns of struggle in our life, and precisely how to unhook them. She states that upon realising that her old paradigm constructed of shame and disempowerment mirrored a social epidemic, her intention for developing the Arete [ahr-i-tey] Process was born. The process detailed in this book exposes you to the deepest layers of forgotten emotions still residing within you (i.e your shadow), yet which are controlling your perceptions, and thus, your choices. A wise awareness of these aspects of your shadow has the capacity to release you from the discord and stagnation in your life, and even more so, from the dissatisfaction and frustration with yourself. You will become more aware of your default template of reality, what contributed to its cultivation, and how to change it in a way that is in more alignment with your highest values. Your innate happiness, alignment, and authenticity will be experienced as open doors, creative expression, empowered relationships, sincere appreciation for people in your life and for life in general, and purpose-driven contribution. Your joy is only temporarily buried underneath layers of distorted beliefs, habitual thoughts, and destructive emotional patterns. This book gracefully shows you evidence against them relative to the vantage point of absolute truths before taking you through a process of emotional alchemy, thus resolving your negative cellular memories. You will discover that with each ascension — each gracious liberation from the self-destructive aspects of your conditioning — the magnetic force that is pulling you toward your most inspired and joyful self actually succeeds at bringing you closer. You, your life and your surrounding conditions will shift accordingly. With this, you will be intentionally creating your life, as opposed to experiencing it by default. This is true freedom.
