That was me...over 13 years ago!!
For the last 12 days I have been in an intense body and mind cleanse. It’s amazing how much of an impact being aware of everything happening in your body and have all the basic 5 senses working up to the fullest, do to you as a human and spiritual being.
I haven’t eaten red meat (and everything in between, aka bacon, pork, deli meat…) for over 4 years now, I don’t miss it and I have no desire for it when someone eats it in front of me, but yesterday an interesting situation happened. As I passed by a fast food chain, I remember the times when I used to go there for “food” and I can remember some of the reasons why I did it…
I wasn’t committed to myself enough, 
I didn’t love myself enough, 
I didn’t respect myself enough, 
And, I was also trying to mask my own feeling by eating…
so, I MADE POOR CHOICES!
The sad part about it is that for the most part we are not usually aware of it…
And, let me tell you… that went along with EVERYTHING in my life! Career, relationships, food, what I was watching, listening to, you name it! I literally let the “crap” come in, I had no boundaries whatsoever, I didn’t even know what that meant to be honest, I had no clue, I was just looking for acceptance, to be loved, to fit in. I was looking for happiness outside of myself, I was transferring the responsibility to others…
Until I started taking responsibilities for who I was and what I wanted to become I couldn’t move forward. From then to now, I am grateful as, to name some of the things I have accomplished,
I have become aware of,
Independent,
Empowered to make smart and healthy choices,
I deeply love myself and have develop healthy boundaries,
I was able to kick the victim mode out and a LOT MORE!!!
Loving myself, become empowered and leaning Ayurveda not only gifted me the connection with within, but introduced me to one of the most AMAZING people in the planet: myself!!

​I found this picture when I was searching for something on my hard drive, this morning. It gave me chills and I got myself immersed on this state sadness at first, because I reported myself back to that time of my life…
I was overweight, only after 6 months being in US, extremely depressed because I felt so alone, even thou I had many friends and SUPER ashamed for being like that. I remember at that point I sent no pictures to anyone in Brazil and I literally felt like a failure…I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror!!
I had no self-love!
I was ashamed!
I felt guilty for leaving my family in another country!
 I was emotionally eating, so I could protect myself by gaining weight…
I was depressed
I was certainly miserable, nothing would give pleasure in life…nothing!!!
After snapping out of it and coming back to the present, I must honor that girl and that time. She kept going, started to plant the seeds to get where I am now…Of course A LOT has happened since and yes, I had to go through many lessons that was able to build who I am today. I won’t lie, it wasn’t EASY, but I say it was WORTH IT!!
So, DO NOT take in consideration where the person is now, but what they have been through. The strength that takes to keep going is massive, because YOU are the only one who can do for yourself, no one can’t! Blaming others is nothing but a waste of time!
I would do all over again, because I wouldn’t change the ME today for anything else, I SO LOVE who I am, Liz you are AMAZING, I love you girl!!!
 

Yesterday i woke up in such great mood, that i posted a picture of myself in a "wild and glamorous" idea of me, on Facebook (the one on this post). As the day went along i saw myself going from an exciting state of mind to a state of regret and despair, crying in bed after a "unsuccessful hair cut". I couldn't get over the fact that i didn't have the balls to tell the hair dresser that i didn't like because in my mind there was "no fix", "the hair has been cut" and now, i have to deal with it, as i let my ego take over and tricky myself to this disaster situation created just inside my head.
​After trying to cheer myself up along the day, i realized that, the whole "hair cut" situation was a way of the Universe pushing me to take a step forward on my growth journey. It was almost like i got my higher self telling me, yes, you are doing the work, but i will push you further...you must love yourself, even thou, your hair has being "chopped" off the way you haven't agreed with, I couldn't even looking at myself in the mirror, because i hated so much!!
​The "hit in the heard" came after i started to watch the movie "Frozen", which i have avoided for many years (I don't know why...), it's a BEAUTIFULL movie!! and the lessons couldn't have come to me in such perfect timing (divine timing...). One of the lessons is about Elsa claiming her power, loving herself and accept her role in the world for who she is, i cried for all the love i could feel as my angels and guides were by myside on this emotional time showing me that is a big piece of my own journey. I went to bed feeling grateful for all the support, love and lessons i was presented with.
​This morning, as i looked myself in the mirror i was able to see beyond my physical attributes of a hair style, a eye color or a nose format. My purpose is way beyond this body that i have to live in, but that i also must to learn unconditionally love and honor as it's part of the deal of claiming who I am, Why I came here and fully accept this magnitude of being human.
​Today, on Easter day, I want to share this LOVE and GRATITUDE to each one of you, HEART TO HEART.
Happy Resurrection day!!! i new piece of me has being re-born...

When I decided to come to Paris, I had no idea how much of an impact this trip would have made on me…
I was looking for direction, like a sign that would clearly say “turn here”. After trying to go to many different places, to name a few, Costa Rica, Mexico, Sedona, Texas…nothing “was follow into place”, then Paris fit as my perfect size.
I didn’t have much of expectations, but the Universe not only confirm that yes, I create my own reality as I also can manifest abundance
Abundance of support
Abundance of love
Abundance of amazing moments
Abundance of living in the present moment
Abundance of laughing
Abundance of many things the human life has to offer
And much more that I have no words to describe…
The amazing energy I have experienced in Paris has gone beyond my human ability of falling in love. The fall in love everyone talks about is deeper that the physical level. It’s a soul connection! And, I have made many…including myself…
Here I am sitting at the airport thinking about what happened to the girl who landed with me, just last week…I realized she was no longer needed, with peace I let her go…
The one going back to Paris, has no idea of where the “turn here” sign is or if there’s even a sign for that, but she knows that the road she is stepping into is the only one who can give her the answers, the inner peace, the love and, the soul connection she has always longed for…
I am so happy you are coming back to me!!

Do you want to know the truth?

Yes, I love myself, I love who I have learned about who I am, I’m beautiful, independent, a charmer, sexy (yes, I was told I am!!) and I can get anything I want, I so know it!! But I also completely don’t know what I want… I have all I need to live a great life, I’m happy and “fulfilled” in my Facebook pictures and living the dream, as some of you would say… but I tell you what, don’t judge anyone by a Facebook picture or the “book by the cover”, we all have different things and lessons we ALL must go through, there’s no such thing as have less or more or “better or worse” problems than, there are lessons we have to go through to push us to the next level we need to go. Growth is beautiful and painful…

Yes, I must admit to myself…I have been going through shit for the past month or so, because my calling is getting so unbearable that it’s making me more confused than ever, it’s physically and mentally painful and draining… It’s not because I have no house to live, because I don’t have food on my table, money in my bank account, shoes and clothes to wear, clear water to drink, I have way more than that in my life, I have love, gratitude, compassion, friends, family and people who really care about me, I have all, so I should be happy right? Yes, I also agree, I extremely, terribly agree with you, I also must agree that you may have all of this, but for some “unknow” reason is not happy either, have you ever felt this way? Do you wake up every morning dancing around the room because it’s a start of an amazing and incredible day? Yes, I get it too, that’s why I’m sharing this moment with you, because I’m feeling that pain too, except that I know where my pain is coming from…does that make me better than you? absolutely not!! Makes me human, makes me someone like you!! I, without even thinking much about this that I’m not happy because there is a big piece of my puzzle that I haven’t be able to find, which is living in full power my life purpose.

Honestly, I don’t know how to put this shit together to make it happen (I have no idea how to manage a business…) and trust me it’s way easier to figure yours out than my own, because I have way too much in my mind… be in the outside of a situation is much easier to access it, since you are not involved with it. I have paid thousand of dollars to many coaches, therapists, healers and you name it! and I have got where I would like to get? Their fault? Of course not! I am the one who needs to stand up as my own army and fight this, I just didn’t know which weapon I was in need…
Among frustration, anger, sadness and crying to someone this morning (thank you, thank you thank you for being there for me…), I have realized that I need some time off, I must to shut all the distractions off, just a couple of days, maybe a week, whatever a can get, to connect within and figured what the next step in. No, I’m not going anywhere at this moment…I just needed to share my frustration and release it…

I’m so FU****G grateful for all the lessons, tears and support I have. I’m figure this out one way or the other…

Would you go back in time and say thank you to all the people who had hurt you for EVERYTHING that they had done to you? Hey, I don’t blame you, I don’t think I would either, because I bet they wouldn’t even remember what I was talking about…

                At the age of 14, I had my very first boyfriend. He was intelligent, smart and cute, at least that was how I saw him…at that point he was Everything I could wish for in a guy, we looked so cute together!! The “relationship” lasted a little over a year because he ended up meeting someone else and breaking up with me to date another girl. Now, can you imagine at 14 years old, to be chosen over someone else? The only thought and feelings I had was:

1. I’m not good enough
2. I’m not as pretty as she is
3. I’m not smart
4. I’m not perfect

And, ALL the (I’m not’s) you can possibly think!!! And I’m sure there are tons more that you can name and relate to.

                From that very first “love” experience, I thought I needed to give myself up, to who I truly was so to ensure that the next relationship would work, because showing the REAL ME, was not allowed, he may find someone else BETTER than me and leave me. That was what I thought for most of my life! Isn’t that SAD?

                Of course, IT IS !! Who could remain hidden and still be happy all the time? Do you know how draining that is?

                The good news is, I was not only able to see this pattern throughout my life and turn it around, as you can DO THE SAME in your life. No need to have ALL these lies in the way.
                LOVING AND CLAIMING YOURSELF is a process that you don’t need to do on your own.  Do you think I woke up one morning and it was suddenly gone? Absolutely not. I had support, a LOT of support, because I needed direction. I know how this works, as I have been there too, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

                I’m a self-love and empowerment mentor, an Ayurveda counselor and an energy healer.  I can give you the tools and support you need to get you going in your journey and give you clarity in your path.

                Pm me, I’m more than happy to help you, in YOUR process.
Love,
Liz

As 2018 was approaching, back in December, I was feeling being shoveled by so many new resolutions posts on Facebook. A little piece of me was panicking for the fact that I had no “new years resolutions” or “2018 goals”, another piece of me didn’t really care. Last year, 2017, my only and biggest resolution was to be grateful for everything I had at that exactly present moment, every single day, I had no expectations, no attachments or anxiety of “what was coming next”, with the exception that the next was the next thing I would be grateful for.

Some days I was grateful for my food, my car, for the place where I live, for the clean water, some other days I just needed to cry because I had so much gratitude in my heart that the manifestation of such feeling was too much for my human body to handle and, I also had days that I was grateful for the bug in the plant, in my office, because I knew he was there to bring a message and oh boy, I have been grateful for many messages, guidance and the magnitude of love and light that I was able to vibrate and still do, around me. Many amazing things has happened in the past year, for sure!!
​
As time passes and we fall into the second week of January, I was looking for my 2018 word. I have to say that all the signs have been directed me to ABUNDANCE! Of love, happiness, health, money, excitement and many of the wonderful things that life has to offer…
I’m extremely grateful for the abundance of life I have around me, I can finally welcome 2018!
The challenge for this year is to be grateful for the abundance of amazing thigs in life! #lizbarbosahealings #lizBHgratitudeandabudance365
 
PS: this was my 2017 post
I have decided to challenge myself this year. Baby steps... I will be nothing but grateful! I will post one picture a day on my Instagram of something I'm grateful for it, so the energy will grow and intensify each day, open more to receive only the Good and the Best.
