The Roadmap to Romance
Since the days of dowries and courtship have dwindled, women have been searching for romance in the unlikeliest of places: scotch-smeared bar counters, stopwatch-driven speed dating events, and even within the confines of the instant-messaging mousetrap. Many attest to the fact that these methods seldom seem to deliver soul mates, and long for an effective, tangible way to eliminate the modern machinery of dating and discover their perfect matches.
Inspirational speaker and author Zannah Hackett, Rev, BAE, MA, teaches today’s women that what they really need is an operating manual!
I discovered Zannah’s seminars after reading about her success in a local newspaper. Intrigued by the possibility of being able to objectively identify on-sight a man who rocks my world, I invited a lovelorn girlfriend visiting from out of town to accompany me on my journey to unearth what proved to be knowledge more valuable than any I gleaned from my door-opening alumnus: while we’ve been taught since birth not to judge a book by its cover, Zannah teaches that the road to romance is paved by doing exactly that.
The Ancient Wisdom of Matchmaking, a book describing a 3000 year old body of knowledge referred to as the Knowledge of Y.O.U. (Your Own Understanding), subscribes to the notion that all of us arrive on this earth in our own vehicles, which are as easily identifiable as the different types of cars we drive (i.e. Toyota, BMW, Mercedes). The mastery of this language, which predates both astrology and the bible, allows quick, easy identification of one’s “perfect” mate based on obvious characteristics such as height, body type, hair and eye color, and skin tone. Given the ability to objectively recognize who’s got what you need on sight, you can spend far more time cultivating a thriving, emergent relationship and waste far less time weeding the poison ivy from your rose garden.
What, one might ask, is the difference between this knowledge and the hundreds of popular profiling mechanisms that so many people use to fill an otherwise-empty Saturday night? Well, it is the difference between placing a tiger in a cage with a rat, a lizard with a cow and assuming it makes sense because they’re all animals, or worse yet placing a tiger in a cage full of other tigers, simply because they’re biologically compatible. Rather than operating as a subjective, homogenized program that attempts to project society’s interpretation of “perfection” on wistful wanderers, the Knowledge of Y.O.U. empowers you to be your own expert on what rocks your world, thereby handing you the prescription for happiness- all you have to do is fill it, and ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Zannah is in!
The Knowledge of Y.O.U. is one of history’s most well-guarded secrets, previously used chiefly by tyrants and dictators as a means of manipulating their followers. It is also the body of knowledge used by resourceful charlatans who claim to be legitimate psychics or fortune tellers professing the ability to distinguish peoples’ characteristics merely by looking at them. Don’t be fooled- you can do the same, and there isn’t anything mystical about it. Prehistoric man had only obvious visual clues to enlist while evaluating his basic needs, such as safety and survival; he had no language or propaganda to assist him in passing judgments about those around him. The Knowledge of Y.O.U. returns us to a time when there was only one universal language, accepted and understood by every human walking the earth~ a time before our cultural de-evolution produced mass confusion about ancient universal law.
In the midst of modernity’s wiser world, this information is of great value, not only to single people, but to therapists, life coaches, business owners, personal trainers, dating specialists, family and marriage counselors, and managers. In this society of people who habitually judge others based on their own designs, there exists endless possibility for growth and productivity by merely learning to “see” others for who they are without expecting them to change. Everyone walking the earth, from preschool teachers to dogcatchers to corporate executives, is aware of the simple fact that lions roar and cats meow. They also know that cheetahs are swift and turtles are slow. They probably even know that wolves hunt in packs and cougars hunt alone.
So, in the human world, why do we expect cats to roar, turtles to sprint, and cougars to organize expeditions?
One might ask, how in the world can we learn to “see” what’s in front of us without a crystal ball? The answer is body typing. Body typing is the most revealing of five aspects used in the once highly revered process of matchmaking. In Hackett’s teachings, it is referred to as “personal style.” This very fundamental understanding of others is based on seven distinct styles that identify both men and women, and is the most essential in identifying the ultimate partner. It tells us in very objective terms what kind of beings we are dealing with on sight. If you were to look at a large, sturdy tree in a park, you may be able to tell at first glance that it is an oak tree as opposed to a smaller, frailer willow tree. If you were to look at an automobile in a parking lot, you may have enough information at first glance to know that you are looking at a Mustang versus a Corvette. People are no different. They are as easily distinguishable as types of trees, cars, and animals.
Zannah Hackett, whose teachings supports those of the Dr. Phil’s and Florence Littauer’s, offers the tools necessary to function at your absolute optimal level in life; you’ll know what you need in order to be happy, and you’ll know what your partner needs in order to be happy. You’ll know where you’ll thrive, and where you’ll dive. Most importantly, you’ll learn to accept others at face value, as the knowledge insists that you love yourself and those in your life, be they family, friends, co-workers, love interests, or even enemies, for being exactly who they’re supposed to be. Zannah’s new book, The Ancient Wisdom of Matchmaking., will be released in August this year, but the E-book is available now at www.pauseformagic.com. You can also find information about Zannah’s upcoming seminars, private sessions, book signings, and lectures on the website.
