First of all I’d like to say thank you and say that I am truly grateful for getting to see this 7 day program. It is actually a miracle to me and now I know it is not a coincidence but actually a synchronicity. I want to give a very short background story which explains it better. And end with just a small part of what I have learned and really resonates from the 7 day program. Not all because it is too much to tell.
My name is Justin, 25 years old from the Netherlands. I have been quite spiritual from early childhood, but never knew this until years later. Growing up in a very non-religious environment, I also never came to understand this myself before.
Since a very young age I knew lots of things very sure about myself and I also had lots of faith in life. But as the years went by, learning unhelpful beliefs, having ADHD, highly intelligent and highly sensitive and lots of different things. Life became one big struggle for me from the age of around 10-12. This ended up in years of addiction, depression, feeling completely stuck, desperation. To a point when I was 22 years old and not seeing any way out of this miserable life, also without any hope left. By now I had very heavy PTSD as well, from small trauma’s and a couple big ones.
My parents sent me to Capetown. 10.000km from home, to go in for treatment for all of it. I got lots of hard therapy and it was far from easy. But I learned so much here and now got back sanity, hope and above all the desire to live life again. Finally after all those years of suffering. These were intense but such life changing weeks.
I literally had hit rock bottom before going there and was now surrendered to heal and to change.
Being 14 weeks in the program, already feeling very low in energy for around 2 weeks, I started coughing up blood. I visited the hospital in Capetown. And it turned out, I had an extremely rare and aggressive form of cancer. A very big tumor between my heart and lungs. It had also already spread out through my entire lungs. They told me I had 2 weeks left to live.

Here is where it gets interesting. Because some things happened for me again. And only now after the 7 day program from Vishen I actually realised how strong this was. Because from that very first moment they told me this. I knew very sure. This was a gift from the universe. I was going to survive this, no matter how. I had all the faith in the world that no matter what the outcome would be. It would be perfect for me.
With lots of luck I was able to fly back to the Netherlands. And heard in the institute Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (immensely good hospital for cancer in Amsterdam), that because I was only 22 years old, they were willing to try the heaviest chemo on me. For 1 year, I have had to fight for my life, while actually not wanting to live only 3 months ago. Many surgeries on my heart, lots and lots of chemotherapies that some people don’t even survive (the chemo’s), and many intensive-care visits.
Till a point where there was nothing left for me to do but wait and just hope it wouldn’t return again. It was fine for 6 months and in dec 2023, it returned again. Now also my own hospital told me it was a done deal. With probably around 2 months left, could be shorter, could be longer. I slowly started to disconnect from anything and everything. I had a crowdfunding and lived life to it’s absolute fullest. Traveling, eating well, everything you can imagine. But I was 24/7 walking away from my feelings.
By some big miracle my cancer was alive, but it just wouldn’t grow exponential like it normally does. To then in august 2024, become the very first in the world who was able to try radiotherapy with my kind of cancer. Nobody expected anything, but if it could buy a bit more time it was worth trying. Every time I would lay down under that big laser. I would spend the entire 20 minutes completely visualising that my body was putting the cancer cells in front of it as a shield. And that this laser would destroy it all completely. Only 2 weeks into the therapy I already heard that they saw it was helping a little bit. 3 weeks after the therapy my doctor called me, completely surprised himself, telling me that somehow there wasn’t any sign of living cancer anymore. And now again I just had to wait. And that this could even mean that I could even be cured now.
Up till now 16 months later. There has not been a single sign of cancer. And if it stays like this. I am actually cured.
During my time in Capetown back then, it was still hard for me to find back knowingness. And in the year 2024 where I was supposed to find peace with dying I had many struggles mentally. But it was only after the radiotherapy, when the change to maybe survive appeared, I struggled most mentally.
So about a year ago I decided to kind of go fuck it mode into the uncertainty. And decided to start living again as if I would get old. To give it my very best, and in case I would still die soon, then that would just be it. You could say this was the devotion and the non-attachment part already quite a bit.

In this year (2025) I have learned so many things about myself. What is this new new for me, what works for me businesswise as well as taking care of myself etc. etc. Lots of ups and downs obviously. I started journaling a lot in the summer and working a lot. On my trading and starting an online business. All from a place of scarcity, stress and discipline. Exactly from a hustle mentality actually. This ended up again in some kind of burnout you could almost say. I had no breaks and just had to become successful with hard work.
Now a couple weeks (about 3-4) ago. I started doing energetic healing again. And already since 2-3 months I decided to go deeper with my psychologist.
To finally go deep means for me to heal, and to know myself even better. This way I am able to release myself from the gray cloud between me and all my emotions.

It was some tough months again just now. I got sick a little bit a couple times just because I was releasing so much from the past. But right after the energetic therapy started, I also started getting back into journaling. But this time it was completely different. I started expressing gratitude deeply, even if I would feel it before saying it. I meditated and prayed right after the journaling every morning. And my energetic therapist told me I was also allowed to ask the universe/god what I wanted. So I did. The only thing I have asked for every day is to please send me guidance.
Guidance on how to build the life I wanted and how to actually use all the knowledge and lessons I got in an efficient way.
And there it was. The ad on instagram for the masterclass from Jeffrey Allen on Mindvalley.
Never heard of Mindvalley before somehow. I did this class and find it so super interesting. I started to do a bit more research about Mindvalley and quickly came across this 7-day course. Like Jeffrey explains, once you are in the right energy, you will experience synchronicities. And to be very honest, this is exactly what it feels like to me right now.

Not being sure whether to try and start a new business, or work on myself, or only do the trading. Since I followed the 7 day course I know very damn sure what to do now. I will keep daytrading and become a consistent profitable trader. And all the rest of my time I will work on myself for now without any side business. Mindvalley is exactly what I needed. So from the very very very little money I have, I decided to become a member now as well. And I can not wait for everything to come.
Now I will answer the exact questions from the e-mail.
What state impacted you the most?
Every single one of them impacted me a lot. But when I practise knowingness and love I can feel this boost of magnetic kind of energy flow through my body. It is hard to put in words, but it feels amazing. Just in themselves already, but if I combine it with faith especially and also with the rest it feels so good. It feels so much like a miracle again to be alive. I feel very grateful to be able to experience this already because of the program.

What did you notice in your mind, heart, or energy?
My mind shifted a lot from the faith and non-attachment ones. I just look at everything outside of my control from a place of trust and faith. I had this job interview to go help with the sales of fireworks temporarily. I need to get paid outside of taxes, best would be in fireworks. First I strategised a lot in my mind and how to get to this outcome. My heart would raise, I would start to feel nervous and overthink it all.
Now I just told myself. If it’s meant for me, it can not miss me. If it doesn’t happen like that, it is not meant for me. Either way it is not a big deal to me. And bam, I felt relaxed, I trusted, I surrendered, I felt good. Now the actual job interview went way easier and better than I could even have imagined. I got even better than I wanted without having to tell the person in front of me anything. This is just 1 example. Also with applying love as a state and knowingness. I feel so much more relaxed and expended in my energy. Peace in my mind, and warm in my heart.
What realizations, awakenings, or breakthroughs came through?
About the realizations and awakenings I believe I could write an entire book already to be honest. But I’ll name a few. What is meant for me will not miss me is probably the biggest one, to trust this. What I judge is what blocks me from manifesting, also such a beautiful one. And when you cling to a goal that the universe creates an opposite force. In general that the universe doesn’t give you what you want but what you are, always knew this phrase but never understood it so well. That I am the instrument and that I only need to be in tune, no need to play the melody. This already changed so much for me. As well as the small guided meditation on how to radiate love to the whole earth was a big breakthrough. The story about Napoleon's knowingness. If you have faith you can often heal, not a breakthrough but a big realization for me on how I did the impossible in many eyes. The universe happens for me, I already believed before that all the shit I went through were lessons for me to learn. Now I am actually very certain of this again. Like I said, I can keep adding things to this list, so I’ll stop here.

How did this challenge change the way you see yourself?
I do very much see myself as an instrument of the universe again. I know very much who I am. A loving, caring, creative, serving, strong, inspiring and beautiful soul. Still working on this part, but at times I also feel better that I deserve my desires.

Again, thank you so much for all the lessons already. I am really looking forward to the future with Mindvalley. I wanted to share as a small feedback that I also really like the way Vishen did the zooms. When giving a specific sentence, he would say it in 3/4/5 different ways so it resonates with everybody. And also to tell the interesting stories in between. This way it resonates way better and it is also way easier to keep listening. I think it was immensely helpful.
Now again, I trust the universe completely. If I win the 5000$ it was meant for me and if not, same story. I would love it, but it is not a big deal. At least I devoted my time and energy to give it my best. As I want to do this for all the people that benefit if I become the very best version of myself. I wish you all a great 2026!
Kind regards Justin.
