Anything's Possible When There's No Unfinished Business

For nine years, I have been leading Shadow Process workshops and training programs around the world with amazing people. I've met thousands of people who picked up one of my books, came to one of my workshops, or enrolled in one of my training programs because there was some area of their lives where they wanted to have a massive breakthrough, a shift, a new opening, and a reinvention of a new future. What continually blows my mind is that they get it! They get it by claiming parts of themselves, cleaning up all areas of their life, and saying "I'm sorry, please forgive me, I forgive you." They get it by making integrity lists, cleaning out their closets, tying up loose ends, confronting their addictions or bad behaviors and then doing whatever is necessary to transcend it. They get it by finding the gifts of their past and the wisdom in their wounds. They are able to produce a future completely unlike their past. I think I am so passionate about this capacity for transformation not only because it reveals the magnificence of our human design but because it is my own story as well -- the story of a girl who found herself loaded with drugs and limitations and with a not-so-promising future ahead of her. But through the process of transforming and growing, that girl came to understand that we are here for a greater reason, that you can't move on until you've cleaned up the past and worked on your unfinished business, and that until you do, life will seem like a repetitive loop of longing, wanting, aching, and hurting. So, like every day, today is the day for a new future and a new possibility. I offer this to you with an open heart and the utter certainty that you can be more than you ever desired. There's so much more to say about unfinished business. James Van Praagh, my very good friend and spiritual medium who is in my soon-to-be-released documentary The Shadow Effect, has written an amazing new book on the subject. He offers lessons for the living by sharing the personal regrets, misgivings, remorse, and, most important, the advice from beyond. In this moving book, he demonstrates why it's imperative that we continue to do this work. Read this book to get a new perspective on life and your relationships with yourself and others.
