FOREWORD

Andrew Falotico is an incredible spiritual guide. He has a strong yet kind energy that gently leads you effortlessly along your spiritual path. His first book, From Hope to Peace, is the perfect guidebook for this section of your journey.

Andrew and I have supported each other for several years in our spiritual evolution, helping each other to go deeper into our truth. He was ready to connect to a greater, more knowing version of himself through my Connect to U Self-Discovery Program—just imagine the journey of connecting to the true you. Through meditation and journaling, this six-week soul-stirring program has the intention of connecting your soul with your heart and mind and inviting the ego to take a break. This allows you to learn the language of your soul more fluently.

It was through this process that Andrew was able to fully step into his truth and Holisticratz was finally ready to be born in the world. From Hope to Peace is the first piece in the Holisticratz series. It takes you on a journey from that place of having an inkling that there is more for you, through to that space of knowing that all is well. And with Divine Guidance you will arrive there at the perfect time. There is no rush; everything is happening at the perfect pace, and you cannot get it wrong. This guidebook takes you from a place of hoping to profound trust and knowing, almost melting the stress away. His words surround your heart and soul like a warm blanket, feeling safe and secure.

The exercises and processes in the book give you a taste of each step in the process for seven days. The biggest shifts come as you read the book and follow the practices over and over again, creating a habit of Unconditional Love and Peace. This book is for anyone who has a knowing in their heart that there is more in life than their current experience and who is ready to have more peace and ease in their life. Enjoy the journey of exploration, light, and letting go.

PREFACE

The reason I wrote this book is to share what I believe are Seven Divine Energies of the Universe that, when accepted and utilized, can accelerate the unlimited potential of the human spirit’s greatness. All the knowledge I have received in the fifth decade of my life comes from attending earth school on a full-time basis. All my great teachers have been the relationships that have come into my life, knowingly and unknowingly. I am grateful, fortunate, and appreciate all of them.

The message in this book is to learn how to achieve a fulfilled, purposeful life. I envision you living a life made up of experiences, knowing every moment is a great gift of opportunity for positive, creative expression. I see you manifesting all of your dreams, ideas, visions, and goals. I am presenting a formula in this book that offers a key to unlocking your personal treasure. In this book, I will offer you a map to this treasure.

As I reflect on my personal journey, there are many reasons I wrote this book. Each reason became an inspiration to motivate my desire to connect me to being in service to others.

My passion for holistic health and committing to bringing awareness to living in a collaborative, peaceful world helped me become aware of the need to simplify my life. One of my greatest life lessons, and an inspiration for writing this book, was being diagnosed with a condition that presented itself in my physical body. At the time of this diagnosis, I was shocked to learn that for the rest of my life I would have to have routine health checks to monitor this condition, and my doctor was an oncologist. To face this personal reality took a lot of soul searching and the strength to become mentally and emotionally strong. In times of peril, I believe I found a willingness to dig deep and move forward with my life. I am very grateful for feeling healthy and living an active life.

I know there are others who are less fortunate. On my first visit to the hospital, I had to wait for my MRI results. I sat among many people waiting to have the fate of their health determined by a test result. I sensed an energy of fear, sadness, and despair amongst these people. I felt the need to want to reach out to these people and offer hope and peace of mind to their spirit.

In the midst of this life lesson came the need to find a way to empower my spirit and motivate myself to a better place in my life. In 2012, I was asked by Jennifer Lyall to participate in a Connect to U Self Discovery Program. This four-week program was designed to connect the mind, heart, and spirit, utilizing a guided meditation. This daily soul practice included journaling and daily reflection. On the sixteenth day of
