“I built unshakable inner confidence and began each day grounded, energized, and present”

I awaken early, before my phone alarm plays, “Dance With Me.” My cells poke me, playfully, singing for joy in anticipation of Vishen’s Seven States of Being class.
I am alive with a new passion and excitement since beginning Vishen’s class! His storytelling keeps me enthralled and curious as to how he will end each story and what new lesson I can learn.
My favorite lesson is Knowingness because without this basic “ground floor” knowing, the next six lessons are not possible. The first day this stood out to me, as I noticed my choices, realizing this is who I am. It gave me a more solid sense of confidence and ease in my days. And it inspired me, each morning, to go outside in nature and to do my grounding, on the springy, rain-soaked green grass beneath my grateful feet.
I loved the order of his states because the sequence makes absolute sense. Each morning my energy lifted higher, as being on the zoom felt more vital than anything else I did that day and it was an amazing way to begin the day! Even without enough sleep, Vishen awakened my mind, to states he explained in perfect voice and inflection that spoke to me, as if we were one on one. My heart expanded nine times over and I am more able to be compassionate with others. 
I almost didn’t sign up for his class and now every single molecule in my body is rejoicing that I have. Vishen is a natural leader and succeeds in his flow, direction and spot on points in his teachings. And he does it all with a great sense of humor, something I feel in my life is a “non negotiable.” After all, we are here in life to flourish, be joyful and to live abundantly. Vishen’s 
 instinct intuition mesmerizes and I am drawn to Mind Valley once again, as I had been involved years ago.
And I thank god. 
Thank you,
