I might as well confess that I\u2019ve had them on and off for the past thirty one years. But all these troubles have eventually lead to <em>reflection<\/em> \u2013 a deeper knowledge of myself. And that has been very interesting indeed.<\/p>\n<p>I can say with complete certainty that I would not be where I am today if it wasn\u2019t for a woman called <strong>Jenni Kauppila<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When I signed up to the pilot version of her love course four years ago, I had no idea where it would take me. That year, 2011, turned my whole life around.<\/p>\n<p>And here I am. Happier than ever. More self-confident than ever. Healthier than ever. It hasn\u2019t been a painless or easy journey, by any means, nor will it ever be \u2013 pain and struggle are an unavoidable part of self-discovery.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00292.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2080\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00292.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0029\" width=\"730\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00292.jpg 730w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00292-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Boyfriends have come and gone since that course \u2013 none of them stayed. And why would they have, when none of them were the right one? My love affair with myself is flourishing, however, and there might be something else on the horizon, too. Time will tell.<\/p>\n<p>Jenni\u2019s second course was sold out before she had even completed the first one, and requests for more kept on coming. Jenni finally wrote a book, which was published last spring. The book, <em>Rakastan siis olen <\/em>(I Love, Therefore I Am), has just gone into its second edition, so I guess there are a few us out there, troubled by love.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside her job as a yoga instructor and personal guide, Jenni still runs her love courses. I doubt we\u2019ll see much of her in Finland this winter, however \u2013 an international cruise line has hired her to provide guided meditation and yoga on a ship sailing the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>Still, two courses will be held in Helsinki in January: the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenniemilia.fi\/rakkauskurssit\/\">love course<\/a> runs in the evenings from January 5<sup>th<\/sup> to February 2<sup>nd<\/sup> (similar to the course I took in 2011), while the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenniemilia.fi\/sisainen-voima\/\">inner power weekend workshop<\/a> will be held from the 24<sup>th<\/sup> to 25<sup>th<\/sup> of January.<\/p>\n<p>Jenni asked me if I wanted to give my readers a discount for these courses, and of course I did! A post about her book had been on my to-do list, anyway. <strong>You can sign up to the month-long love course for \u20ac300 (normally \u20ac330), or the weekend workshop for \u20ac150 (normally \u20ac170).<\/strong> Just mention my name as you sign up!<\/p>\n<p>Jenni\u2019s book can be ordered online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adlibris.com\/fi\/product.aspx?isbn=9510400548\">Adlibris<\/a>, or straight from Jenni herself at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenniemilia.fi\/tapahtumapaikka\/hyvinvoimala\/\">Hyvinvoimala<\/a> \u2013 the latter is \u20ac20 and comes with a signature.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lots of love to ya!<\/em><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00216.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2078\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00216.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0021\" width=\"729\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00216.jpg 729w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00216-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><em>Jenni\u2019s book is currently only available in Finnish.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Photos Katja Kokko<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Translation Katja Nikula<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love and relationships.
