Invitation to Allow

Why Follow Me?

The ‘About’ page is a challenging section to write. Why? Because it’s telling you about me, what I’ve done, why follow me, read, listen, subscribe, and purchase my products. Whew! That’s a lot of pressure, don’t you think? But I’ll try it. As you read my why, I hope you see what we have in common and know that you are not alone. If this blog is not for you, please share with someone you think that can benefit from it. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you. Now, let’s begin. 

Emotionally abused [EA] (verbal/physical) people struggle to regain their God-given identity daily. Identity and identify is what an emotionally abused person is on a quest to find, understand, and be. Identify is recognizing and removing triggers, disconnecting from trauma, identifying the symptoms of PTSD, feeling safe, setting boundaries, defining happiness, love, peace, and the key component, forgiveness. In a nutshell, you want the critical voice in your head to leave, the toxic behaviors replaced with healthy ones, your authentic thoughts to come forth, and your mind to be at peace. So, again, I hope you see what we have in common and know that you are not alone.

My Why…

I created the blog I Allow to help people identify unresolved womb and childhood emotional traumas and how they are surfacing in the present through pent-up desires. Together we build a trusted bond that allows for self-discovery using forgiveness, peace, love, and other natural methods. 

I do this because I desire for people’s fragmented souls to be restored and to live authentically in their innately created identity.

Invitation

2020 was a year that marked the end of what we considered ‘normal’. The pandemic of epic proportions shut an entire world down. Our dress attire changed. Certain toiletry items were required to be safe. Sanitation practices were not a choice but a must, and social etiquette demanded mask, gloves, hand sanitizer, hand washing, toilet paper, and remain six feet apart from another human. The next tier was work-from-home, home school, and only leave your home to shop for necessary items. Compartmentalized living brought out the best and the worse in people. But what was a universal revelation fueled by close proximity triggered life choices that didn’t reflect the desires, dreams, and visions buried underneath fear of someone else’s thought pattern.

Past traumas surfaced like wok-a-mole in all of us. Awaking memories of talents, and creativity blossomed like a flower in spring. Accountants started painting again, C-suite executives became life coaches as employers laid off their employees and businesses shut down. Some gladly accepted the changes while others struggled with critical voices of the past. Regressing to childhood behaviors, silence, or outburst of anger to survive the tormenting thoughts put them at risk as those around them. Tantrums, reclusive living, pushing loved ones away were coping mechanisms. I saw this happening all around me. I prayed for those in domestic violence conditions to get out safely. But circumstances on the other end of the spectrum were troubling as well. The authentic identity, behavior, and character were tired of being buried beneath the false identity and toxic behavior.

It’s your time to live the authentic version that God created and not someone else’s thoughts and behaviors. You are not a mini-me. Join me as I share some wisdom that I’ve learned on my journey in my blog, “I Allow.” We will have Zoom meetings where sensitive topics can be discussed and shared stories to heal. I also have a podcast, “From Trauma to Triumph: Walking Away from Trauma,” on the platform Anchor (anchor.fm/lana337). The show airs every Thursday evening from 7-8 p.m. Each show is pre-recorded but you can leave a message on the link and my guest or myself will readily answer you back. I want you to release the “dirty breaths” that fill your bodies and possibly manifested in sickness and dis-ease. It’s time to emote and let go in a safe place. There will also be certified natural healers, therapists, and counselors in our meetings to impart knowledge in removing the toxicity from your temple. Journaling, meditation, and aromatherapy tips will be given to help cleanse the wounds from your soul as well.

If this site is for you, subscribe and share with a friend. Like my FB page, ‘I Allow,’ (Facebook.com/lana.m.hooks). It’s time for you to walk away from trauma to live and be the best authentic version, so those around you will be released to do the same.

I Allow,

Lana M Hooks
