Narcissists Are Mean: Understanding Why

Narcissists tend to be incredibly mean, vindictive, and vengeful. Understanding why can help better navigate these difficult relationships with people with high-conflict personalities. Narcissists can be mean because, deep down, they struggle with an intense need for admiration and validation. Their behavior is often driven by fragile self-esteem, and they may lash out to protect their perceived superiority or deflect attention from their insecurities. The need for control and a lack of genuine empathy contribute to their mean-spirited actions, as they prioritize their own desires and disregard the feelings of others. While it may seem like they are confident and self-assured, their meanness often stems from a fragile sense of self that requires constant validation from others, leading to manipulative and hurtful behaviors. When a narcissist feels challenged, they lash out needing to regain power in the relationship. Tune in and listen to Lisa A. Romano help you better understand why narcissists are so mean.

Self Love: The Importance of Loving the Self Despite Abuse

Are you someone who takes care of everyone but yourself, and who feels the silent need to appear perfect and as if you have no needs? Did you grow up feeling invisible, unheard and as if you needed to suppress your emotions and true self for the sake of keeping the peace or for the sake of avoiding rejection, abandonment or some other form of punishment? If so, you may find it more difficult than most to love yourself. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano helps us understand why some adult children of alcoholics and narcissistic parents find it so challenging to put ourselves first. Self love is not selfish. It's an act of honoring the power within, and when we do not love ourselves, it is as if we are placing the candles we are in dark closets. Each of us is entitled to love as much as any other person and when we begin by loving the self with self care tips, and by acting upon self love, we literally heal the wounds of our inner child, and begin reprogramming our subconscious minds for a healthy, more empowered sense of self.

Sibling Relationships and Toxic Family Dynamics

In the intricate dance of sibling relationships, toxic family dynamics can cast a long shadow, leaving lasting impacts on our connections with our brothers and sisters. Scapegoating, where one sibling is unfairly targeted and blamed for familial issues, creates a toxic atmosphere of mistrust and resentment. Triangulation, often orchestrated by a narcissistic parent, involves pitting siblings against each other, fostering competition and divisiveness rather than unity. Narcissistic parenting further exacerbates these dynamics, as the focus on the parent's needs and desires can overshadow the authentic bonds between siblings. Such toxic patterns can lead to a breakdown in communication, feelings of inadequacy, and the erosion of the natural support system that sibling relationships should provide. It's crucial to recognize these dynamics and embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery to break free from the chains of dysfunction and nurture healthier connections with our siblings. Join us in this episode, as Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach and bestselling author, demystifies the delicate relationships between siblings in light of toxic family dynamics.

Conquering the Fear of Judgment: Mastering Emotional Resilience

Many people struggle to control their emotions and feel as if their emotions control them. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, explains how to trace the root cause of emotional dysregulation back to growing up needing to deny your emotions for the sake of toxic, oppressive family rules. All beings are born asleep and live below the veil of consciousness until they have begun to experience a spiritual awakening, allowing their mind to expand beyond egoic constructs tied to the need to survive. If you grew up feeling unseen, and you were not emotionally nurtured enough for your psychological self to develop a healthy sense of your--self, you may be detached from the authentic self. One of the main problems here is that you may not even know you are detached from your authentic self and that survival fears control your consciousness. Being denied approval, love, safety, acknowledgment, and the ability to express your emotions as a child keeps you in a perpetual state of fear of judgment and criticism of others. This is normal, considering the abnormal and unhealthy ways in which you were raised. However, until you master your consciousness and spiritually awaken, your life will unfold like a hologram, and by default, the past will govern your now and your future. The good news is, that it is possible to consciously live an authentic life once you begin organizing your mind in a way that allows your authentic self to breakthrough!

Self Confidence: How to Overcome Low Self Worth

Do you struggle with low self-confidence and low self-worth? If so, you are not alone. Low self worth is tied to subconscious beliefs and the emotions that appear when you lack esteem for the self. Feeling detached from the self can be tied to growing up feeling invisible and unheard. Self-esteem is a reflection of your individual self worth, which encompasses your beliefs and the emotional response to those beliefs. In order to experience happiness, self esteem is a determinant of adolescent mental health, according to the DSM. Anyone struggling with self-confidence and low self-worth must consider that how you feel about yourself is a reflection of childhood experiences. If you grew up feeling emotionally neglected, unseen, or unheard, and your needs were not met, these external experiences create emotional responses. From there, the brain wires accordingly. Subconscious programs then run by default outside of conscious awareness. When you are going about your day, and you feel trepidation or anxiety about making an autonomous decision, setting a boundary, or following a dream or a goal, you will not know that what is happening on the subconscious level is controlling your life. Are you ready to have your mind expand beyond your subconscious programming so you can conquer low self confidence and low self-esteem and live a happier, meaningful life? Awesome! Then grab a cup of coffee and get ready to take notes on how Lisa A. Romano, a world renowned Life Coach helps her clients develop self confidence despite painful pasts.

Approval and Attention Seeking: Looking Outside of You To Feel Good Enough

As children, our sense of worthiness hinges on the approval, attention, validation, and protection of others. When we do not receive the consistent, maternal warmth every child needs to develop the psychological sense that we are enough, we matter, and that we are good, and acceptable even when we make a mistake or do not always behave as our parents prefer, this mystical connection to the self is fractured. In this space, our survival brain and even the root chakra, operate from a place of survival. Rather than live from our hearts, embracing ourselves as works in progress, without self loathing and internal self-abuse, we develop hypervigilance codependency traits and are soaked in insecure attachment issues. All these effects are normal, considering being raised to feel alone, invisible, abandoned, and detached from the authentic self. On the road to personal development, spiritual healing, and living an authentic life, all serious truth seekers find themselves questioning the thoughts, emotions, patterns, and behaviors that inhibit their spiritual growth. If you are here, and you are learning to become more objective about how you show up in the world, that's incredible. It may also be painful. However, to grow we must all confront what we feel, why we feel what we feel, and how the past organically recreates itself in our future, all outside conscious awareness. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano will help you explore how you show up in the world and reveal signs that indicate you might be stuck, living out unhealed childhood patterns by seeking approval and attention outside of yourself. Awareness is necessary for spiritual healing, personal growth, and living a conscious, authentic life, so buckle in Dear Ones. Lisa has created a private Membership for those who are ready to ascend the patterns of the past and who understand that real healing can only happen at the subconscious level.

Are You Living for Others and Ignoring Your Authentic Self?

All humans are born asleep, and dream in duality, falsely believing the thoughts, emotions, perceptions, and opinions they hear their minds wrestling with are facts. Yet, they are the result of mental constructs and subjective in nature. In the West, we are not taught to question the quality or source of our thinking. Instead, we live below the veil of consciousness, and assume, without any critical analysis, that all we think is absolute. This is why humans have the ability to harm one another and why nations find it difficult to get along. The ego does not see, nor does it want to see the big picture. If it did, it would die. The emotional healing journey is complex, and without the ability to question what you think, how you feel, and how you live your life, you are a slave to the past, and mental constructs and live your life unaware you are unaware. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano will help you to think more critically about the way you think and live your life. When you grow up feeling unworthy, and invisible, natural default survival settings govern your emotional and mental bodies. You are a reactionay being, vs a creative, autonomous being who knows who they are and who they are not. If you do not know you are living for others at the expense of your authentic self, you have a problem you do not know you have, and without identifying the problem, there is no solution, only stuckness.

The ability to develop intimacy within relationships is directly tied to how well you were able to attach to those who raised you. The quality of the bond to those you love matters and is the blueprint for all future relationships, including the one you have with your inner self.

Healing Emotional Triggers

Emotional triggers take us back in time, to when we felt powerless and overwhelmed, and our brain and mind were unable to process all of the emotions that were taking place. The more dependent we are upon someone, the deeper the emotional wound. And like a quantum rubber stamp, our painful emotions root us to a place back in time. Often but not always, emotional triggers are tied to childhood experiences. Of course, they would be, considering how powerless and dependent children are upon their caretakers, teachers, and family members. The brain of a child lacks the neural circuitry to be able to handle the energetic emotional overload and so, what cannot be fully processed gets shunted deep into the emotional body until a later date, when a current situation triggers unhealed emotional trauma. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano dives into the mysterious world of emotional triggers and in her unique, easy to understand way, helps us understand ourselves in a way that allows us to gain clarity, ownership and freedom over our lives. By understanding how emotional triggers work, we are far more able to manage them when they occur.

Childhood Emotional Neglect: Growing Up Feeling Invisible

Did you grow up feeling seen, heard, understood, and like you belonged to a loving family, or did you grow up feeling invisible? Childhood emotional neglect can lead to people-pleasing, agreeableness, repressed anger, and enmeshed relationship dynamics such as codependency. Feeling invisible can create a need to feel seen, which may lead into augmenting the self to fit in, regardless of the consequences. On the healing journey, where one is becoming aware and able to confront the wounds of the past, learning to speak the truth is often the first step, yet the most difficult. Most people do not know they are not truly thinking, and instead their minds are regurgitating the memories of the past and lost in expectation, as well as locked within neurological pathways created in response to trauma. The good news is, it is possible to breakthrough the subconscious limiting beliefs of the past and learn to live above the veil of consciousness, to align with the authentic self. It is possible to speak your truth, and reclaim your lost self, and end relationships that are toxic! To do so begins with admitting your truth to yourself first. We got this!

Childood Trauma Makes it Hard to Make Friends as an Adult

Are you the adult child of a toxic, alcoholic, or narcissist? If so, you may find it hard to make meaningful friendships. If this is the case for you, that is not your fault. Survival strategies created during childhood to keep you safe, may be keeping you stuck and in fear as opposed to taking chances on making new friends. Childhood trauma, emotional neglect and narcissistic abuse, inhibit our ability to trust others and it also disrupts our ability to trust the self. Making friends is incredibly challenging for adult children of narcissistic and alcoholic parents, because we have been programmed to associate pain, rejection, and abandonment with close relationships. However, it is possible to find your way back to the divine self through inner child recovery work.

Narcissistic Abuse: Gaslighting and Psychological Manipulation

Narcissistic abuse is a form of psychological manipulation that relies on dominance, power, and control, and is enforced most often through various forms of mental abuse. Gaslighting is a tool that narcissists rely on to cause their victims to consistently doubt the validity of their thoughts. Whether a narcissist is aware of their mind games is not as important as recognizing these forms of abuse. Once you recognize gaslighting, projection, and various forms of invalidation, you can far more guard yourself against the trauma bonds these relationships create. In a trauma bonded relationship, your cognitive ability to trust your thoughts, emotions, needs, ideas, opinions, and perceptions will become hindered due to being manipulated to believe that questioning a narcissist is a form of disloyalty. Your very thoughts and emotions will work against you, that is until you gain the invaluable insights you need to arm yourself against narcissistic abuse.

Codependency Recovery: What Every People Pleaser Needs to Know

Codependency is a deeply ingrained pattern of behavior that can be challenging to confront and overcome. It stems from a dysfunctional relationship dynamic where one person enables and relies on another to meet their emotional and psychological needs. As a result, the codependent individual often loses touch with their identity, desires, and boundaries. Confronting codependency can be difficult for several reasons. Firstly, it often arises from childhood experiences and learned behaviors, making it a deeply rooted pattern that feels familiar and comfortable, even if it is unhealthy. Confronting codependency means facing these deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors, which can be unsettling and uncomfortable. Furthermore, codependency often involves a fear of abandonment or rejection. The codependent individual may have developed a strong sense of responsibility for others' emotions and well-being, fearing that if they assert their own needs or boundaries, they will be met with rejection or abandonment. This fear can make it incredibly challenging to confront codependency, as it requires stepping out of the caretaker role and prioritizing one's own well-being. However, it is important to remember that confronting codependency is an essential step toward reclaiming your own autonomy, self-worth, and emotional well-being. It requires a willingness to explore and challenge deep-seated beliefs. You can learn how to expand your awareness, and become more honest with yourself, although this is incredibly challenging for someone who fears abandonment, criticism, and rocking the boat.

Inner Child Healing: How to Begin the Journey Within

The inner child is that part of ourselves that holds the truth of our traumatic pasts. The inner child has been parented by those who may have been unaware they are unaware. When you are raised in a dysfunctional home, the ones in control do not admit that the home is toxic and often rely on denial to keep the sick family system going. The vulnerable narcissistic father, and angry codependent mother, who are stuck in a toxic relationship, can become blind to the damaging effects their immaturity, or lack of awareness is causing their children. However, if you have been raised by toxic parents, all is not lost. Your inner child is an innate, authentic aspect of you that you can learn to honor and connect with at any time. Often, wounded adult children are able to far more for others than themselves. We can benefit from this dynamic by perceiving our inner child as an actual little person within, that is worthy of our love, protection, and compassion. It is my hope, that this episode allows you the ability to begin your inner child healing journey. Dear One, you are enough, but your subconscious mind may be working against you and by default, keeping you stuck in survival patterns that require that you abandon the self. The 21 Day Inner Child Journaling Program can help you begin that journey back to the divine inner child. https://www.lisaaromano.com/journaling-adventure

⭐️ The Effects of a Narcissistic Mother and the Journey to Authentic ❤️‍🩹 In today's episode, you will hear from the daughter of a narcissistic mother, who has found her way back to the authentic self. A narcissistic mother has a significant impact on a child's life and without taking the time to heal, the patterns that develop in childhood as a way to survive, become a way of life. Growing up under the influence of a narcissistic mother can be emotionally and psychologically challenging. The constant criticism, manipulation, and lack of empathy can leave deep scars that affect our self-worth, relationships, and overall well-being. The journey towards reclaiming our authentic selves involves unraveling the layers of conditioning, breaking free from the patterns of self-doubt, and redefining our sense of self-worth. It requires us to confront and process the pain, to explore our emotions with compassion, and to learn to trust and love ourselves unconditionally.

Inner Child Healing: Conquering the Fear of Abandonment 12 Week Transformation

The inner child is that part of us we can easily lose touch with, who knows our truth and has witnessed and experienced every pain, known and unknown. For adult children of alcoholics or those raised in emotionally neglectful or abusive homes, the inner child is forced to go underground, minimize their emotions, make excuses for being abused, and often have no choice but to live in fear of abandonment. Lisa A. Romano is a world-renowned Life Coach specializing in mental wellness, codependency recovery, and narcissistic abuse. She believes that most, if not all, of our adult upsets can be linked directly to a faulty, negative subconscious belief that originated in childhood.

Do You Love to Be Loved? Break Free of Unhealthy Relationship Dynamics

Love can be complicated especially when unhealed wounds are at play outside of self awareness. It's easy to focus on the output or the return when it comes to love and keep your heart and eyes focused on what you are receiving or not receiving from another person. Whenever we focus on the outside, we lose our way and lose our alignment with the purity of the now moment. If I love you, and focus on what you are doing for me in return, then my intention is tainted because my attention on you comes with strings attached. Unhealthy relationship dynamics can be confusing to sort out and that's why self awareness, and self accountability are so important. To be healthy in a relationship you must be willing to address in yourself the beliefs, assumptions, or behaviors you hold that might be working against your desire to be loving. Codependency is not love. It is a mask for unhealed wounds, and manifests in varied ways, one of which is to love others wishing to be loved in return. Curious and want to hear more? Listen in as renowned Life Coach and bestselling author, Lisa A. Romano, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse recovery, explains why and how, loving to be loved is working against your chances of developing healthy relationships.

Codependency Isn't Sexy: Conquering Unhealthy Relationship Behaviors

Codependency in relationships isn't sexy and conquering issues related to being codependent are incredibly challenging. Codependency is often related to emotional trauma tied to childhood abandonment and neglect. Feeling invisible, uncared for and unseen arrests a child's emotional growth. Feeling abandoned, a child assumes it is their fault, which causes shame. Below the veil of consciousness, shame causes the ego to live in a defensive state, skirting around abandonment issues. Things like people pleasing, enabling, caretaking and looking to fix others, can be tied to expectation, disappointment, anger and even rage. And because codependency is rooted in the subconscious mind, we often don't even know we are codependent until our lives become unmanageable. That is the value of podcasts such as this, and the work of renowned Life Coach and bestselling mental wellness expert Lisa A. Romano. Listen in as she helps us face the unhealthy ways in which codependency expresses itself in our relationships.

Ego Mind: It's Not the Real You

Are you stuck in the wounded ego, hearing your mind tell you you're not good enough? What if I told you, your ego mind is not the real you and that the real you is waiting for you to awaken to the illusion your ego has you falsely believing in? What if the critical voice in your head was a shadow of the past; an echo of those who raised you as a child? And what if, you could develop the mental skills to raise your awareness, and consciousness to the point that you could program your mind as you desired and in alignment with the divinity you are? The ego is a part of the mind that represents the 'I' within. It is not the real, authentic, divine you. It is the you that has been shaped by the default settings of the brain and external experiences. The real you; the authentic you is not limited by ego attachments, negative beliefs about the self, trauma or triggers. And while trauma is valid, as are trigger respones, each of these can be viewed as effects of a cause that resides in the past. The ego attaches to thoughts, beliefs, emotions and perceptions all outside detached awareness. If you are ready to expand your awareness and level up your consciousness, this episode is for you.

Conquer Loneliness: Expert Tips

Loneliness is common for adult children of alcoholics and those who have grown up in dysfunctional homes. As a healing adult child myself, I understand the deep-rooted struggles that individuals from toxic childhoods face, particularly when it comes to loneliness. Those who have grown up in toxic environments often struggle with forming healthy and meaningful relationships due to the lack of love, support, and emotional connection they experienced during their formative years. This can lead to a profound sense of loneliness, as they struggle to trust others and fear being hurt or abandoned once again. Furthermore, individuals from toxic childhoods may also struggle with feelings of unworthiness and low self-esteem. The negative messages and constant criticism they received as children can leave lasting scars, making it difficult for them to believe that they are deserving of love and companionship. This self-doubt can further isolate them, creating a vicious cycle of loneliness and self-sabotage. It is essential for those who have experienced toxic childhoods to seek healing and support, as they deserve to break free from the chains of loneliness and build healthy, fulfilling relationships. In this episode, you will learn a few of my expert tips that can help you conquer toxic loneliness.

Codependent Narcissist Tango: Unpacking the Attraction

Codependency recovery is not for the faint of heart. Codependents often find themselves attracted to individuals with high narcissistic traits due to a complex interplay of psychological factors. One key reason is that codependents tend to have a deep-seated need to care for and please others. They derive a sense of self-worth and validation from being needed and relied upon by others. Narcissists, on the other hand, have an insatiable need for attention, admiration, and validation. This creates a dynamic where the codependent's desire to nurture and the narcissist's desire to be the center of attention align initially. The codependent may believe they can fulfill the narcissist's needs, while the narcissist provides the codependent with a sense of purpose and importance. Additionally, codependents often struggle with low self-esteem and an excessive need for validation from others. They may have grown up in dysfunctional or neglectful environments with unmet needs. This can lead them to seek validation and approval from external sources, such as a narcissistic partner. The grandiose and charismatic nature of narcissists can initially be captivating to codependents, as they see the narcissist as someone who can fill the void within and provide the validation they crave. However, this dynamic can become toxic over time as the codependent becomes increasingly enmeshed in meeting the narcissist's insatiable demands, losing sight of their own needs and well-being. It is important to note that not all codependents marry individuals with high narcissistic traits, and not all narcissists seek out codependents. Relationships are complex, and various factors contribute to their formation. However, understanding the dynamics that can attract codependents to narcissistic individuals can be crucial to breaking free from unhealthy patterns and fostering healthier, more balanced relationships. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano the Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Expert, takes you deep into the codependent narcissist tango.

Faking Happiness; 3 Reason Why You Do It

Do you fake happiness, or try to pretend you are more okay than you are? If so, you're not alone. Faking happiness is something many of us do without even noticing we are doing it. If you grew up feeling unworthy, and not good enough, you may have been brainwashed and psychologically conditioned to fake happiness. Adult children react to adult situations much like a child would, feeling subordinate to those we perceive as authorities in our lives. Healthy well adjusted adults can make mistakes without being overwhelmed with shame, guilt, and overresponsibility. On the other hand, those of us who struggle with a poor sense of self, who are codependent, who seek approval are those who don't know how to tap into our authentic selves without recoiling. We are those who have been raised to seek approval and deny our true emotions for the sake of validation, acceptance, and in fear of rejection. In this episode, you will learn about why so many of us fake happiness and how you can begin living a more authentic life.

Intelligent Ways to Outsmart a Narcissist

In this podcast, Lisa Romano dives deep into how to outsmart a narcissist without them realizing what you are doing. By choosing not to engage with them and by letting go of your need to prove them wrong, you get to win and outsmart a narcissist. Learning to set boundaries with a narcissist is outsmarting them. Remember, narcissists win when you engage, so don't. Become the one a narcissist cannot attach to. Developing a willingness to not argue with a narcissist or to punish a narcissist, helps you stay out of the ring with a narcissist who is built for emotional brawls. Remember, setting boundaries is not only about protecting yourself but also about fostering self-respect and reclaiming your personal power. Are you ready to set boundaries like a boss?

Spiritual Awakening: The Bittersweet Path to Enlightenment

Spiritual awakening is a bittersweet path to enlightenment. Awakening shatters our perception of reality. We are not taught to observe our thoughts, actions, perceptions, opinions or beliefs. Sadly, if we are raised by toxic parents, or suffer abuse, especially in childhood, as adults, we can remain unaware of how our brain, minds, and bodies have acclimated to trauma. By default, the brain is wired for survival. Below the veil of consciousness, triggers cause particular reactions within us. And because we are not taught to look within, and the world around us is so noisy and full of distractions, we simply react to all that is happening within us and cannot see the loopholes. Awakening is bittersweet because you will need to come out of denial, and you will also need to start paying more attention to emotions you may have pushed away. It is not your fault if you do not know how to process emotions healthily and if your subconscious mind was programmed to believe hiding your true self was what you should do. However, it is possible to reclaim your personal power, silence the outer noise, and learn how to connect to your authentic self. Enlightenment is a journey by which your consciousness expands beyond the limits of egoic constructs. However, ego is as necessary as the higher self. We are here to awaken, learn, expand, and remember who we truly are. Suppose you are ready to break through the veil of unconsciousness. In that case, Lisa A. Romano has created online courses and private communities to help you ascend the various matrixes in our world today, from childhood programming, to collective unconsciousness, doctrine, and relationship trauma.

Awakening to the Authentic Self: Reprogramming The Faulty Perception of the Self:

Living a conscious takes self mastery. The human mind is designed for automation. And just like an email system can be built with 'triggers' to respond to certain actions, as a result of being programmed, the human mind works the same way. You, Dear One, have been programmed by parents, teachers, society, and any other form of indoctrination including religion. If you were raised by alcoholic, or narcissistic parents, what you experienced in childhood has become part of your 'subconscious auto pilot programming.' What you feel on the emotional level affects every cell of your body. And what you think repeatedly, results in your program. And just like machines can be automated by programming certain triggers that result in a desired action, you can become triggered too. To escape this matrix, we must confront the faulty perception of self. And in order to confront our false self, we must first stabilize our awareness enough to be able to tap into the power of metacognition, which is our ability to observe the way we think. Buckle up, Dear Ones, we are taking a deep dive with Lisa A. Romano. In this episode, she explains how each of us is living below the veil of consciousness, unaware we are unaware, and that awakening is the first step toward becoming our powerful, creator authentic selves. Inspiration, motivation, compassion, and wisdom at its best. Lisa has made it her mission to create courses that help others awaken from the matrix faulty negative childhood programming creates.

Embrace Your Healing Journey: Unleashing the Power of The Law of Attraction for Inner Transformation

Ever wonder about emotional healing and the law of attraction? It's not a coincidence that the airwaves we bask in are disorienting. Television, radio, and various social media outlets clammor for our attention. The more distracted we are, the more split our energy is and the less stable is our point of focus, and therefore our energy. Whether we are discussing governments, separation ideologies, politics, or the rights of individuals, or we are contemplating relationship dramas, that which causes us mental unrest makes us weak in every sense of the word, including our energy. Although many poo-poo, the principles of the law of attraction, or they are open to the exploring the subatomic world, is irrelevant. The human imagination cannot tell the difference between real and imagined. Your body can only respond to what is in the mind. If you feel unworthy, your body is weakened, as is your ability to make autonomous decisions that will lead to an empowering life. If you believe you need approval, at the subconscious level, every atom in your body vibrates at that resonance. And while you are worthy of respect, fun, and mutually satisfying relationships and friendships, you will not resonate with these experiences. The good news is, you can change your life when you embrace the principles of the law of vibration. To learn more about Lisa A.
