Working with Maria was one of the best investments I ever made in myself. I’ve seen immediate shifts in my energy as well as learned to work with my own energy and mind. It has been one of the single most transformational experiences of my life. Can’t recommend her enough! If you can trust one thing in your life right now, trust Maria. You can trust her with your heart and soul. It’s hard to explain, the whole session felt as if it was operating on another level. I’ve never had that kind of experience before. It just felt so much bigger than I anticipated. I can tell you with absolute honesty and conviction that having a session with Maria is life-changing! Thanks to your guidance, my self-awareness has soared, allowing me to understand how my state influences the world around me. I am immensely grateful for the positive impact you’ve had on my journey. I highly recommend Maria! I don’t even recognize the person who started working with her a few months ago. Maria clearly sees what is blocking, stopping or limiting you. Working with her has been more transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried. Thank you Maria! Maria, I am beyond grateful for the transformational journey we shared. it was nothing less than a miracle that has allowed me come into who I really am. I wake up every morning with a big smile on my face, feeling immense gratitude for just being alive, I can’t explain it, I´m just enjoying this fully. Your guidance has so profoundly changed my life, and I cannot thank you enough. I’m overflowing with gratitude and joy! Life has changed dramatically for me after our time together. I have truly realized on a fundamental level what is creating my reality and it has given me confidence for the first time in my life to finally be ME, I feel liberated to be my authentic self! Maria showed me how magic can be created by my own Being. It was definitely worth the investment in myself. I’m extremely grateful for my time with her. Words cannot fully express the profound impact of my session with you – it has been nothing short of magical. You helped me remove the blockages that held me back, helped me recognize my true worth, and providing so much insight that has been truly life-changing! I feel like a huge weight have been lifted and I have so much more perspective on what I have been struggling with! I’ve had HUGE shifts in my beliefs. Her undivided attention, presence and unique ability to read your state helped me to breakthrough and release old patterns and replace them with new self-empowering practices that have truly shifted my life. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone. I am forever changed and forever grateful! Maria is the real deal. You will sense it the moment you lay eyes on her. She offered much, much more than I’ve derived from other teachers; highly specific and personal recommendations. It is as though I got a crash graduate course from spirit. Could not more highly recommend! I finally know my worth. I feel so different now, I feel lighter, happier and more self confident. I treasure the time I spend talking with Maria and look forward to my sessions with her. There has been big changes in my life, synchronicities showing up like magic and I’m constantly blown away at the business and opportunities that I’m attracting. My life has radically changed for the better after I met Maria. I don’t know if I make sense, but all I can say is that I feel blissful. And I can’t thank you enough for that. I don’t know exactly how you managed this, but you have really made a difference in how my mind works. Maria’s teachings and my session with her has transformed my life and allowed me to live in a state of flow and beautiful synchronicity. Maria, your impact on me is immeasurable, and I will forever be grateful. It’s been a month and I’m literally THRIVING! Forever grateful to you, Maria, I don’t even have words to explain how much your guidance and work has impacted and changed my life. This feeling of peace and freedom is priceless. Maria is beyond amazing. Had I not experienced it myself, I would probably not believe it. I recommend anyone who is trying hard to be truly free and really start walking down the path of self fulfillment and happiness to book a session with her. Maria is changing the world by her presence. She’s leading people to a new way of being. She’s able to see where you are at in your journey and can show you the way forward. I feel so incredibly grateful that she has been a companion during this time of change. If you feel drawn to connect with Maria I encourage you to move forward with confidence. Your guidance empowered me to show up more confidently in the world, it unlocked something within me that had kept me stuck. Now I know what I’m meant to do, and it has been life-changing and I feel I have finally clicked into place with myself. Thank you!! Maria THANK YOU. Sometimes just by connecting with you even briefly gives me instant clarity, it’s really magical, thank you so much. I trust your guidance so much, I’m just so grateful! I can’t even begin to express how much I have gained internally after my session with you. You have been an instrument of peace in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Maria guided me to realize that relying solely on my mind (like LOA teaches) wouldn’t lead to the changes I wanted. A profound shift took place within me which completely transformed my understanding and my perspective on life. I am eternally grateful to Maria. Serendipity led me to a life-changing session with Maria. The insights about life and myself that I gained during our session were incredibly liberating and empowering. Her clear and practical guidance helped me create a life that is in alignment with me and what I want. Working with Maria truly felt like divine intervention in my life! Maria, you are truly godsend. I cannot describe how happy I am. I have no idea what you did and how you did, but I am truly grateful to you. My words in this email cannot thank you enough. Today is the first day that I woke up feeling as if I am ready to take on the world. I am so glad that I reached out to you. I am truly grateful to you. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family! I just wanted to say thank you so much again for our session yesterday, I’ve never had a conversation like that before and it was truly amazing. I could feel weight lifted as we were talking and for the first time my mind did not try to make sense of things, it was all truly felt in the heart space. After our session, something happened within me that I cannot explain nor would it even make sense to anyone. There was a part of me that felt my being been taken over by a real peacefulness that I’ve never encountered before. Sounds odd but it’s the truth. Maria’s awareness of energies and the conditions of the mind are truly impressive. She knows exactly what’s going on. She is so attuned to other peoples’ energy that she just knows where you’re at. After working with her I have never felt more alive and aligned to my true self. I had a complete turnaround to my situation so many thanks for helping me transform something I had lost hope about. It’s a miracle and the outcome could not have turned out better! If you want to see a real shift not just psychological but spiritual shift, then Maria is the lady to see. I am so glad I found you! Can’t recommend her enough!

Seems like it’s a balancing act between a certain degree of passively letting go trusting the universe, and tenaciously believing working and striving for a vision of the future. It feels like to me the goal is meaningless and the journey is what is important. I absolutely love failing and falling flat on my face because I know I tried my best and this fills me with pride and contentment. Some of my happiest moments in my life are when I was destitute and not knowing what the future held for me. In fact, I sometimes even sabotage myself when things are going too smooth for me or to test myself…..I suppose I don’t really take this life too seriously although I am very grateful to be here now.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and beliefs Eric.
I’m not agreeing with you on all of them though.
Here’s my take on some of the things you wrote:
You wrote “..degree of passively letting go” and I would say that there’s nothing passive about letting go, it’s a very powerful act where you remain attentive to what the next step is even though you have let go of everything, but it’s not passive.
A better word would be “relaxed”, or “peaceful”, while “passive” has more of a lazy tone to it.
You wrote: “..tenaciously believing working and striving for a vision of the future. It feels like to me the goal is meaningless and the journey is what is important.”
To me the goal is just as important as the journey.
I’m here to leave a legacy for people that come after me (that generations after me can benefit from), and that is an important goal to have (for me), but I also think the journey is just as important.
So when I work for something – when I work hard for something (my goal for example), I know when to stop and when to let go and let God (or Life) do the rest, because it’s not ‘me’ who does any of this, but “I” am being used and lived by Life itself.
I am the body of God, my hands are God’s hands (I’m an instrument) and the work is done through me, but the energy behind all of it is larger than me as a human being.
You wrote: “I absolutely love failing and falling flat on my face because I know I tried my best and this fills me with pride and contentment.”
Failing and falling is part of the journey – but I don’t love it.
I prefer and like success better.
And I do take my time here seriously.
This is my life, I love living and and I am important to God so I intend to live up to all my potential while I’m on this earth.
So I would not even dream of wasting my time to consciously sabotaging myself; I don’t have any interest in playing around with life like that – what would be the point in doing something like that?
What good does that do to you? (Or those around you.)
Maria,
Omg, this is exactly what I needed to hear to put my heart at ease. The inner struggle I had been experiencing finally subsided, I had been praying for relief/peace and confirmation that I wasn’t going slightly insane. The unraveling of the ego is NOT a pleasant experience, a couple of times I felt like I was approaching some inescapable madness but “Grace” moved in via this teleclass. I really appreciate your honesty, courage and love for life. You inspire me to keep moving no matter what. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad to hear that W!:)
And thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me that what I share is helpful to others.
I know it can feel that way sometimes, but no, you’re not going insane – you’re waking up 🙂
And it’s not pleasant at all at times, but through it we go!

Hi Maria,
Wow what a fantastic audio post on Free Will and Surrender! A huge thank you.
So much resonated with me and I felt the truth in it.
Yes, as time goes on I’m coming to realise the inevitable, that Life/God does indeed want us to disidentify with our small self and surrender. Easier said than done of course as the ever present ego mind is continually ready to pounce with its bag of tricks and cons to throw us off our path. True surrender at a deep level no doubt needs courage and single minded commitment.
Thank you again and many many blessings to you. 🙂
David
I’m so glad to hear that David! 🙂 And thank you for your kind words.
Yes, and it’s a deepening process as awakening is not the ‘end’ but rather the beginning (of our true life).
That doesn’t mean though that the ego is completely gone!
Oh, no, it will continue to show up here and there and now and then 🙂
I don’t know if you have read this article by me (it’s an old one but it explains some of the processes we go through.)

It all boils down to what you too mentioned; courage, dedication and also self-awareness; when we know who we are not that’s when we can come to realize who we really are.
And then we have the surrender-part too of course!
Yes, it’s not an easy path always but it is the only way to live (and the most rewarding and fulfilling way despite of its challenges at times);
To live a life where we are true to ourselves, then the world comes to right itself too – but it all begins with the individual.
