Peace of the Heart is truly an important read for our time. Virtually everyone suffers from energetic blocks due to experience, circumstance, and even generational obstructions passed down from our ancestors. Renee Li’s chronicle of her heartbreaking losses and how she overcame trauma to change the direction of her life is not only inspirational, but offers practical applications as well.
Life can offer up trauma and tragedy. It’s how we deal with that pain that makes all the difference between living a life you love and a life forever marked with pain. In Peace of Heart, Renee Li shares her experiences around two very sudden deaths of loved ones and the emotional imprints left behind by the shock from their passing. You can read about how her subconscious kept these emotional imprints hidden from her for thirty years (including beliefs around abandonment), how it controlled her life creating toxic relationships, and how she soldiered through her own resistance to face the pain in an effort to resolve it once and for all through self-love. The vibration of love is a high frequency that resonates with the God in us. When you apply love to any emotional pain, it lifts the lower vibration of pain to match the higher vibration of love. Nothing can resist the power of real love, not even fear or anger. It’s a bit of alchemy and you are the alchemist. Learn how to transform your life by resolving old pain and turning it into love. You can follow Renee’s road-map to healing breakthroughs and clear your emotional imprints; making room for the fulfillment of all your heart’s desires. It does not matter what you are trying to heal from, whether it is the emotional trauma from a car accident, abandonment by your birth parents, fear of rejection, heartache from a breakup, distrust from a betrayal, or grief from a passing. The healing practices in Peace of the Heart will illustrate a powerful and efficient way to heal your past wounds so that you can start to receive the peace, freedom and joy that you desire and deserve.

Christina: We will all experience loss and trauma in our lives. Is there a way to be consciously aware to help minimize the negative imprinting that can occur when we’re going through these experiences?
Renee: Yes, there is a way to minimize the negative imprinting when you experience a new loss or trauma. If we can understand and remember the nature of life in our day to day, this will help us tremendously. — What is the nature of life? Well, as you said Christina, it is inevitable that life will bring us ups and downs such as loss and sometimes trauma. These ups and downs occur because change is a constant in life.
Change is constant. Seasons change. Flowers bloom and grow only to pass away soon after. The sun rises then sets. The human body grows old never able to retain a youthful body forever. People are born and then they die. No one can stop these changes that are a part of nature…a part of life. When you look at your day to day life with this perspective, you may start to see that your emotions are constantly fluctuating even within the day! No human being experiences a string of happy moments from birth to death. It is not possible given the nature of life.
Now when you remember this during a time of loss or trauma, you can say to yourself with certainty, “this too shall pass”. Nothing is permanent except the divine love which is the backdrop of our existence. So in order to minimize your negative imprints moving forward in life, remember the phrase “this too shall pass” and that will allow you to shift your perspective enough to NOT take things so personally and hold onto or suppress emotions that you feel you cannot cope with. Let those emotions play out so that it can pass. If you cannot remember this nature of life, you risk holding onto the negative experience much longer than you ever have to. So in short, roll with the punches in life and do not identify with any specific negative experience. Allow it to be experienced and then just wait and watch it pass away. Do not push away the negative experience and shove it down in your emotional body to avoid it. Simply acknowledge what you are going through with love and compassion for yourself and it too shall pass.
Christina: What would be your first piece of advice for someone who is only just realizing they have these kinds of negative patterns in their lives?
Renee: If someone is just becoming aware of negative patterns repeating in their life; whether it’s dating unhealthy men/women or finding a mean boss at every place of employment, then I want to first say “congratulations!” because this awareness is the first key to accessing the energy of peace. My advice for them would be to look at the past and see which unhappy memories stick out the most. Then explore your emotions around that unhappy memory and see if there are suppressed or stuck emotions that are still present today. If you actually do get angry or fearful thinking of the past memory, that’s a stuck emotion that is probably a block in your life. This is a good evaluation process to go through at every stage of the healing journey.
Christina: The section on self-love practices was very powerful! Many people will have resistance to consistently using these practices, just as you did. What do you recommend people keep in mind when they come up against powerful blocks such as this?
Renee: Remember that healing is a process and at times you may feel stopped on your healing journey when you come up against some really difficult emotions from the past. During these times it is important to remember that resistance is usually a sign that there is something underneath that wants to be healed. Now, you always have a choice. You can either face it and start healing or not face it at all and create zero change in your life.
Throughout our healing journeys, we have to be really honest with ourselves and have the strength to continually look deeper within so that we can set our soul free and be at peace with everything. At the same time, I also have to mention that it is necessary to be gentle and kind towards ourselves because some of us have experienced really terrible traumas in life. If you are not ready to go deeper into your healing journey in this Now moment, just simply acknowledge that there is stuff for you to look at and heal but you are not ready yet. And that is perfectly fine! Only YOU can know when you are copping out on yourself; avoiding a part of you that is yearning to be healed OR if you are truly not ready in your mental and emotional state to face the past. Please honor your own timing.
Christina: Which of the practices would you recommend people start out with if they are just beginning or are short on time? (I personally loved practice #2 – Sending Love to Your Inner Child)
Renee: The four practices I recommend in the book are really short and easy. It doesn’t take much time at all out of your day. If you only wanted to start with one, I might suggest going with the practice that you feel the most openness towards because that means you can actually commit to establishing that practice as part of your daily routine.
Practice #2 is a great one and works to heal you across time and all dimensions. There really is no past, present and future. There is only the Now and everything is all happening right now (including what we call past lives) so that means when you send love to your three year-old self; or your inner child, that younger version of you is really getting the love. This self-love helps the inner child better cope with the difficult experience and minimizes the negative emotional imprints from that experience. When your inner child heals, you heal today as an adult because it is all You.
