If there are little ones around, you might want your earbuds. Ladies and men, you are going to get soooo much out of this conversation. Allana is an intimacy expert at reconnecting to your own heart and learning how to move through past trauma and upset, to truly be able to connect and find the relationship of your dreams (starting with you). She talks about the concept of befriending your 'little you' and goes into the science behind healing trauma and what you triggers you most. You'll also learn how to open (and close, if necessary) your heart and find the intimacy you're seeking (which always starts with yourself). Things We Learned From This Episode

• Decide you are willing to go inside and come home to yourself to become your own best friend. It was there that Allana found the ability to unconditionally love her self (which she calls your 'little you') and unlock the door to true connection to the divine and so much more.
• What you resist, persists. We are meant to move through emotions and use them as guides and tools. Everything is an opportunity to stay open-hearted and to choose being present to both sides of the moment; which can be bliss and fear.
• In order to truly heal a past trauma or trigger, you must integrate and embody all 4 of these aspects: image, thought, body sensation and emotions. Focusing on only one or a few of these, for example, just talking about your emotions or creating a vision board, will not create the full healing you're seeking.
• Focusing on what you don't want, locks it in and grows it. You want to choose from nothing and let go of resistance and attachment (this is one I'm always working on).
• You can learn more about the emotional scale and code by Dr. David Hawkins at discoveryhealing.com (mentioned in the interview).
