| Empowerment Leadership Statement of Success I am one of those people who was certain I didn’t need LEAP, or anything like it. After all, I had a good job, a cool girlfriend whom I loved, and was very busy “getting things done”. After actually forcing myself to take time to examine my life, I realized that I was not really doing as well as I thought. I realized that I was entering the group stuck in my old patterns. I continued to relive the same series of events with different participants. I had been dating the woman I knew I wanted to marry, for two years, but I was such a commit-a-phobe I had trouble signing a one year contract for cell phone services. I had been trying to change careers for 10 years, had done 90% of the necessary training, but was unable to take the LEAP and live my dream. I was unable to say “no” and consequently had so many on-going projects for other people; I had no time to do anything for myself. I carried guilt and shame from my early childhood that was affecting the way I saw things almost 25 years later. Of course I had been in denial about all these things and just poured myself into work and “making money” and “helping people out”. The Magic of LEAP has changed my life dramatically. My results may be more dramatic than some… after the first weekend at LEAP, I had the strength and clarity to give my two weeks notice at my job and re-focus on my new career. After the second LEAP weekend, I asked my Fiancé to marry me and we had begun to plan our wedding! During the subsequent months, I have been able to set clear boundaries with family and friends, and am now only doing the things I want to do, or things I need to do to further my own goals. Needless to say I am a much happier, more effective, and content person than I was prior to LEAP. I have actually begun to practice yoga and meditation on a regular basis and feel much better for it. I have clarity and perspective that allows me to be much more creative, efficient and effective in my work and my life in general. I am a true convert to the LEAP process and plan to continue in LEAP II to further my healing. |

| Empowerment Leadership Statement of Success I take 100% responsibility for the creation of my life and my reality. I connect to life on earth and choose to be here in empowered, connected relationships with others. I acknowledge that my connection to others is based entirely on my relationship to myself. I take my little girl out of the only relationship reality I have ever known, and together we enter a completely new world. I achieve what I set out to achieve so that I am free of nagging distractions and can stand clear and strong in my own power. I release the insecurity, the unworthiness, and competition with others that have clouded the connection to my true self. I now reclaim my authentic identity with excitement and awe. Because I have 100% confidence in who I am and what I can achieve. |

Empowerment Leadership Statement of Success
I love myself everyday. I wake up every morning with a positive attitude. I do not judge anyone. I love unconditionally. I set my boundaries in my relationships. I gained my power and speak my truth. I am conscious in my old habit of the victim triangle and do not put myself in it. I now live in the circle of empowerment. I have created wonderful relationships at work, with my friends and family and continue to create positive relationships with all those I meet. I have created wonderful relationships with my children I continue to nurture my body everyday with good nutrition and positive energy. I hold out my hand to those who need help. As I keep my boundaries and do not rescue. I accept and am grateful for all I have. I accept the abundance of the universe. I will continue to grow in spirit by staying in community, going to meet Amma, going to the next Theta Healing Course and going to LEAP II. I know I am King of my Kingdom and now live in my universe. I know I am 100% responsible for all I manifest in my life. I know most of all that I AM ALIVE. |

| Empowerment Leadership Statement of Success I feel that over the course of last five months I have accomplished more than I thought I could. After five months of doing my personal work here at leap and outside of leap, I feel completely different about myself. My own experience of myself has changed tremendously. I feel more at peace with my own feelings. It feels like a battle of my own inner world has been reconciled and peace has been signed. One of the things I wanted to gain from LEAP was feeling more feelings. This process was underlined by getting in touch with my anger, and I was surprised to witness its strength and extent. I feel gratitude for being able to release so much shame, hate, anger, hurt, resentment, and sadness. As I released those feelings, I filled myself with more love and light. In result, I have experienced this inner shift of feeling more relaxed, happy, and at ease in all areas of my life. Now as I look back, I know that many distresses and anger that I felt in little situations of everyday life, where only triggering the larger boiling anger, hurt, and resentment, which were right below the surface. I believe that personal work is a life long journey. In my own book of life LEAP is a chapter of “Diving into the depth of hurt, releasing, and stepping into the light.” Today, I stand in front of you whom I entrusted my depths and shared the very essence of my being. I regained the ability to trust to others and to myself. All of you were just strangers a few months ago, but now I feel a close connection to you, even feelings of friendship, love, and care. This process of regaining trust has shifted my ability to move to different directions in my own life. I felt a shift in my intimate relationship, knowing that I don’t have to worry and can let go of feelings of abandonment. In my professional life I regained trust in myself, which translated into following my call and starting a business, and taking a leap in my scholarly career and deciding to continue to my doctorate degree in law. Above all, I feel this renewed feeling of authenticity. I feel the level of honesty with myself that have not felt for a long time. This feeling of honesty is marked by my ability to feel my own feelings. During the past decade, I had too much pain under the surface and because of that I was unable to connect with some of my deeper parts. By releasing all that I did, I got in touch with the more depths of myself, and I enjoy what I found. Today, I feel happier with who I am, how I look, and what I want to do for fun and for work. I know today that life is too short for not living it from who I really am. I know today that who I am is magnificent and I love myself. I am not speaking of self-absorbed love but rather of a healthy respect for my abilities, humor, personality, body, and intellect. Now, I am committed to making choices that are aligned with what is truly good for me, what I know intuitively as being good in all areas and on all levels. I am committed to have fun, enjoy life to the fullest, create material and emotional wealth beyond my wildest dreams, and have friendships that reflect my authentic self, and finally feel love and express love! |

| Empowerment Leadership Statement of Success I stood in front of the Mirror today And this is what I saw I want to dedicate this to Lisa (my Sunshine) Helaine (my mighty Mouse) & The Entire LEAP Community (the Arms in which I lay) With all my Love, Gratitude & Respect, Amma’s Malathy Before me, I no longer see A Child lost; A Woman at odds with Her own existence; A woman so alienated from her Own Humanness, she was unable To either Love or be Loved: Although these were the things most desired. I no longer see a broken Angel, fists clenched, Eyes filled with sadness and self hatred; A woman trapped by Fear; who had become its prisoner Of another time, and another voice, Unable to see the Light, The Way to freedom these Demons. I am grateful for those who saw this, and more; For those who saw strength not yet realized; For those who saw a pink diamond, a jewel of a soul, yet polished; For those who saw and heard determination, desire, Courage to change a life so torn. For those who saw Promise, For those who saw Tenacity Today I see ME; I see a Miracle; And I am filled with pride Touched with tender emotion. It is like looking in a mirror; Seeing “little Becky” beginning to smile; Hearing her laugh, hearing her joy. I see me standing straight, vulnerable, Honest as I can be today; with Found strength in Powerlessness, Self-esteem springing from Humility. For today it is I, who chooses my path, My fighting ground. I choose Life today, With all its insanities, its disappointments, It’s incredible Joys! Today, I choose again to love another human; Not just the Animals or the Demons; I choose to forgive myself for being incapable Of truly experiencing Joy, Love, Accomplishment, Surrender, Risk, Acceptance, Courage, Wisdom: All that today, I Welcome into my life. Today, I see a new beginning, a new form Of me, at my best I can now accept not only my own limitations, but those of others. I have accepted the Grace that will carry me through In my life; I have accepted the way it works through no understanding Of my own; the way it shines through the eyes, the words, the love of those around me who also struggle. Today, I have learned to ask for help. I have begun to learn to give myself What I really need from within, Not from the outer ego. I have learned that I am learning Likewise, so are those around me. Today, I see a Lovely Woman, a true beauty: A vulnerable girl-child of God, Who stands before this mirror now? So much accomplished, yet still Always more to do, and yet willing to continue. Teachable, humble at times, even eager to the challenges. And I have the strength, The desire, the determination, The tenacity to go on and to Continue to Grow and Learn and Heal. |
