My Story

Lindsay O'Brien | The Real Love Alchemist

Ever had a door open after you’d lost all hope?

It was 2015 and I couldn’t remember the last time I felt happy.

At 32, my life consisted of cold showers in the middle of the day to try to calm the overwhelming anxiety coursing through my body and lying on the couch watching hour after hour of Netflix because I didn’t have it in me to do anything else.

“For the first time in as long as I could remember, I felt pure, unadulterated joy.”

I had quit my job 2 years earlier to focus on getting my emotional and physical health back after a chronic illness. And it was not going well.

In those 2 years in between Friday Night Lights binges, I’d been scouring the internet for any healing modality that might help me feel better.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and desperate I was. If it sounded remotely promising, I tried it.

Therapy, EMDR, coffee enemas, psychic healers- even having a chiropractor insert balloons into my nose to move my cranial bones around, I did it all.

And I was still miserable. The discomfort of my chronic illness and painful marriage left me literally lying on the floor wishing for life to take me. I could see no hope of ever feeling better.

One day, a medical intuitive I was talking to mentioned energy healing. “It releases subconscious energies and emotions that are holding you back from feeling better,” she said.

Intrigued, I bought an Ebook and started practicing on myself.

After learning the basic technique, I found an inherited energy of sadness from my grandmother that needed to be released.

Using a magnet from my refrigerator, I passed it three times over my head and had one of the biggest awakenings of my life.

For the first time in as long as I could remember, I felt pure, unadulterated joy.

My being felt like I had let go of 20lbs of weight I had no idea I was carrying around.

I smiled for the first time in months. And I knew in that moment I had found the key to my healing.

Fast forward 3 years later after divorcing my husband and getting out of a short but very abusive relationship, I was again in need of help.

With the same energy healing modality, I rose from the ashes of those relationships with even more confidence and vitality than before.

And I had now found another missing piece to my healing puzzle- rewiring my negative beliefs.

Every night before bed, I would lie down and use guided meditations to rewire subconscious beliefs I had like, “I’m not good enough,” and “no one ever loves me.”

My heart opened up to the possibility of real love.

With the help of great mentors I learned what healthy love looked like and how to stop getting into bad relationships.

By the time I met my current partner, who said one of the reasons he liked me was “because I had good boundaries,” (who, me?) I was unrecognizable to my old self.

And in the happiest, healthiest, relationship I’ve ever experienced.
