    About this ebook

    Happily Ever After helps single women let go of their past heartbreak and open themselves to love again. Those who change their energy change their lives. Coach Suki Sohn’s journey into personal transformation started over a decade ago when her divorce and a string of failed relationships left her physically and emotionally depleted. As work stress mounted, she found herself with chronic back pain, insomnia, migraines, and depression that made her determined to regain her emotional and physical health.

    When MRIs, CT scans, and Western medical approaches did not provide satisfactory long-term answers or solutions, she looked to holistic mind-body-spirit approaches. The exploration of these various paths led to her deep appreciation and fascination of the subtle energies that influence our daily lives. In order to attract and revel in the romantic relationship of their dreams, single women need to let go of the past and clear out negative belief patterns so they can reclaim their magnetic and radiant true self. The MAGNETIC Process Suki presents is eight simple steps to realizing Happily Ever After.

      Happily Ever After - Suki Sohn

      PREFACE

      Idid not set out to become an intuitive healer or guide for women to find love. In fact, I initially followed a more predictable path: a corporate job with an MBA and a marriage to a promising young banker. The dissolution of my marriage was also the dissolution of my identity as I knew it. Things that I held significant and meaningful were no longer important to me. Instead, there was a big gaping hole in my life.

      For the following decade, I studied many different esoteric spiritual paths to fill this hole and find purpose and direction in my life again. I have learned that across all ancient esoteric traditions, there are some shared core beliefs regarding human experience in this world. These are:

      •Everything is alive and has a life force.

      •The physical realm is only a small spectrum of reality but most real to humans due to the limitations of our five senses.

      •Awareness and validation of the metaphysical realm is the first step towards unlocking the secrets of this world.

      •Everything and everyone is our teacher. We may choose to hurt from our experiences or learn from them.

      •Compassion and a deep union with nature allow us to see and live from the eyes of our heart. The practice of living in this manner brings illumination to all aspects of life.

      •There is a divine purpose for all things.

      •Everyone has the birth right and ability to directly communicate with the metaphysical realms.

      Despite some differences, all ancient traditions are consistent in the intention of weaving reverence and expanded awareness into the ordinary ways of life to bring forth healing and wholeness. These core beliefs are the foundation for the MAGNETIC Process outlined in this book. By connecting to Spirit and increasing self-awareness with time, practice, and study, we will be able to shift patterns in our psyche and release old wounds and traumas held within. When we mend our hearts and become whole again, we are naturally MAGNETIC and thus, the love we dream of becomes inevitable.

      I do not have a PhD in psychology or neuroscience. However, what I do have is a first-hand experience of what you are going through – the doubt, fear and perhaps even cynicism about romantic love. My deepest desire is to be of assistance to you in your path towards true love and devotion to your true self

      CHAPTER 1

      Why Don’t You Have the Relationship of Your Dreams?

      The kids are in bed now. It’s been a long day. Things have been stressful at work and for the second time this week, Jackie has been contacted by the school regarding her son’s unruly behavior. He is a good kid and rationally she knows things will get better, but she can’t help but feel exhausted and alone, very alone in the world. Nursing a glass of wine, she mindlessly watches TV so that she can shut down the constant churning of her mind. She eventually turns the light off and lies in bed staring at the ceiling, when suddenly she is overcome by the overwhelming feeling of loneliness. She reasons with herself that things could be worse, but at the moment she feels utterly alone. She curls up into a fetal position and quietly starts to cry. She feels a deep cutting pain in her heart reminiscing on the memories of betrayal and mourns how jaded she became about romance and love. Yet she still longs to feel the comfort of a pair of strong arms wrapped around her to make everything right again.

      It has been three years since her messy divorce. She has been on many dates and even had some short-lived relationships, but now she wonders if she will ever find love again. She got married in her early twenties and after fifteen years, her marriage dissolved painfully. Now in her late thirties, she feels like a fish out of water when it comes to dating. She finds the numerous dating apps intimidating and distasteful at the same time.

      Maria, on the other hand, is a man eater. She’s a voluptuous woman with a hearty appetite for sex. A true feminist, she outwardly revels in the plethora of options available to her through dating apps. She keeps her romantic dalliances carefully separate from her role as a mother. In a way, this suits her. She can dedicate herself to her children most of the time, while finding excitement with her various lovers. She does not allow herself to get emotionally attached, or so she thinks. Despite the attention from her string of lovers, in her most vulnerable moments, she finds herself in tears with a deep longing in her heart for a more meaningful relationship.

      Does either Jackie’s or Maria’s story strike a chord with you? Does it seem like you’ve got everything else under control, but romance is the one area in your life you just can’t get a handle on? Have you had a streak of bad luck with men? Maybe you’ve now convinced yourself that you don’t need a man in your life, and perhaps you are better off without one. Romantic love just doesn’t seem to be worth the heartache and trouble. With your career and kids, perhaps life seems full enough. Are you just too tired and exhausted of being all things to all people that you can’t muster up the energy to contemplate going on a date? Or perhaps it’s been such a long while since you’ve been on a date that the whole idea of dating is plain intimidating. With the overabundance of dating apps, does the idea of swiping to find your match make you cringe?

      Yet, you know that in your heart of hearts, you ache for the hopeful little girl who once dreamt of falling in love and living happily ever after.

      What is it costing you to not have a partner with whom you can share life’s ups and downs? Beyond the obvious emotional support we receive from our relationships, we are biologically designed for intimate physical contact. A simple hug releases positive brain chemicals like endorphin, dopamine, and serotonin, which are crucial to our emotional well-being. Intimate contact also lowers blood pressure, supports a healthy heart, and boosts our immune system. Women, whose brains are wired for collaboration and physical contact, suffer more acutely from the lack of intimate touch. As such, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and many nervous disorders are common among professional women (and especially single working moms) who lack an intimate and loving relationship in their lives.

      Jackie, after several years of dating mishaps, finally did find her way to Mark, a wonderfully loving and supportive man. They are now happily married with another child of their own on the way. Her relationship with Mark is a transformative one that brought so much more than romance into her life. Jackie finally found the love she desired because she was able to get past her old stories about men and face her own inner demons that prevented her from freely receiving and giving love. Maria was also able to find a committed long-term relationship when she finally realized that her beliefs around men were her defense mechanism to avoid getting hurt again.

      At this point, you may be thinking that stories like this apply to others, but not you. You may believe stories like, all the good men are taken, all men cheat, or, I’m just not one of the lucky ones. Perhaps you feel like your best days are behind you and have simply resigned yourself to accepting a life without ever being cherished or loved by a man.

      Love is truly all around us. You can have the romantic relationship of your dreams if you truly and daringly choose it. This will require taking a hard look at some of your preconceptions, beliefs and upgrading your understanding of love, men, and relationships. Relationships shape who we are, and of the many relationships we have, romantic love is the most intimate and revealing of them all. There is nowhere to hide in a committed long-term relationship, and because of this, it’s the most continuously challenging relationship to nurture.

      I am not claiming that the journey to true love is an easy one, but I can offer some guidance to help you identify and avoid some of the common pitfalls. I have first-hand witnessed and experienced some of the Band-Aid solutions out there that offer advice on how to land the man of your dreams. In many ways, it is this attitude towards relationships that is at the very core of the problem. Your lover is not a trophy to be won nor the solution to all of life’s problems. A successful relationship requires sincerity, a genuine respect for one another, and most of all, committed effort.

      I do not offer cheap parlor tricks or superficial advice to make you temporarily attractive to a man. Drawing upon ancient wisdom and modern scientific discoveries, my aim is to help you to access and uncover the unique beauty you possess so that you can naturally attract the relationship you deserve.

      In this book, I will introduce eight basic principles to attract and nurture a long-term romantic relationship, which I call the MAGNETIC Process. But before I share my insights that I have discovered along the way, I would like to share my journey that brought me to where I am now.
