Stories from Lee Holden’s students

Perhaps the greatest breakthrough for me has been discovering techniques to cope with my deep-rooted trauma through Somatic Therapy, inspired by the work of Dr Peter Levine and Sheleana Aiyana... 465 days after David's death, I cried deeply and fully for the first time. Although painful, this felt like an important step in my healing journey and a significant personal victory.

It felt like a transmission - a living transfer of energy, wisdom, and presence from teachers who gave themselves fully to the experience... The activations, meditations, and teachings were deeply experiential; they helped me feel, integrate, embody, and immediately experiment with what was being shared, so that the wisdom became something I could live, not just understand.

My lofty questions have brought abundance into my life in many different ways-from the kindness of others, to winning on the Premium Bonds, to meeting new soul friends and experiencing deeper loving connections with my daughters... I know I am a lightworker, and I am proud to be on this path. As people awaken, they are being guided to me.

It wasn't really teaching a skill. It was offering a different way of relating to life itself... There's a groundedness in me now that's hard to explain properly. A calmness. But also an excitement about the future that feels very different to ambition or chasing... I came looking for practices. I left knowing I am the practice.

I no longer saw healing as something separate from me. I began to experience it as something I could participate with.

The first classes had such an impact on me that, as CEO of a healthcare organization, I launched breathing and Qi Gong courses for our 1,200 employees. Marie's guidance, Vishen's 7 sacred states, conscious breathing, speaking with your kundalini, speaking to and listening to your body, and giving thanks for everything that comes each day-all of this has become a conscious daily habit... unconsciously.

I slowly began shifting some of that energy back toward living. I started dancing more. I booked trips I had been putting off. I put myself out there socially in ways I hadn't for years. I said yes to experiences that felt exciting, even when they felt uncomfortable.

On the very first lesson opening up the back to let it breath, I felt the pressure ease and pain flowing out of my body... I was amazed I was even able to work on my shoulders. Normally, when my bursitis acts up, I can't lift my arms above my shoulders.

During the practices I became aware of things in my thinking and in my body that I hadn't noticed before, and some of the live meditations brought real awareness & energy transmissions that helped with profound healing in my heart area... Six months later I'm still climbing, but I'm doing it with more focus, better nervous system regulation, and a growing sense of feeling safe again, instead of years in an unconscious & unnecessary survival mode.

I came into this program thinking I knew the water. Mindvalley's Spiritual Mastery Program showed me how vast the ocean truly is... Looking at that tree, I saw myself clearly - thoughts and relationships that needed cleansing. And by the next day, I was lighter. Free... my life is richer. Fuller. More connected to what truly matters.

I stopped seeing life as something happening to me and started seeing it as something unfolding through me... I found the courage to have conversations I had been avoiding. I trusted my voice. I published my first book. I rebranded my business and brought it into deeper alignment with who I am and how I want to serve... The knowing that when we change our inner world, our outer world begins to change too.

I trust my intuition and spirit guidance more than ever, believing myself to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right people... I was able to process the loss much more profoundly, returning to joy and gratitude for their lives, and tuned into my own chi - lifeforce energy.
