Forty years ago, my mother got divorced at a time when women weren’t getting divorced. Her divorce propelled her to start and run her own business and find her beloved soul mate.

I too went through divorce, and it pushed me to write a book that became a best seller, to found a coaching institute and go out around the country as a speaker.

If you were going to use your divorce as a catalyst to create the most extraordinary life, what would that life look like?

How could you make your divorce the greatest thing to ever happen to you? This is what’s possible in a Spiritual Divorce.

A Spiritual Divorce is one in which we use our divorce to improve our lives and our experience becomes a gain instead of a loss. A Spiritual Divorce brings us back into the presence of our highest self and heals the split between our ego and our soul.

When we use our divorces to heal our wounds, to learn, grow and develop ourselves into more loving, conscious human beings, we have truly had a spiritual experience and a liberation of our souls. Rather than staying stuck in the pain of our broken hearts, a Spiritual Divorce causes us to reconnect to the highest aspects of our being.

It is here in the presence of our highest self that we can reclaim our power, our joy and the limitless freedom to create the life of our dreams.

If you’re going through a divorce right now, this may sound like a tall order, an impossible task.

You may be having the worst experience of your life and can’t even consider the possibility that your divorce could turn into something positive. Or you may be relieved to call it quits.

It is important to know that the breakdown of your relationship is for a greater purpose.

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Divorce, which my coaches and I will explore in upcoming articles, are designed to help you break through your fears, dissolve your pain and understand the deeper meaning of your situation, giving you the freedom to create the life you have always dreamed of!
