"Thank you for your teachings"

Dear Vishen, Waaw where do I start! I’am a 55 year young woman with quite a life already behind me and I was inspired by you. When I enrolled in your class I had some specific goals in mind since I’ve already lived a full life but then the Covid-19 situation shook up my world. I grew up in a loving middle class family with a mother whom I still regard as an angel on earth and a rather authoritarian father who meant well but who had a very difficult time himself dealing with his own demons from his upbringing. Brules galore made me lose my childhood dreams: dance ballet like a prima ballerina and become a fighter pilot. Two goals that may seem like opposites but for me a fighter plane makes a dance in the sky. Both use the same forces of nature to twirl, dive, come up again gracefully. My other passion was cooking. My mother and my godfather are/were excellent cooks and I was raised with only the best and freshest ingredients. This gave me a close connection to mother earth. My father had on the contrary other, more intellectual aspirations for his daughters. At age 19, I met my husband; he was one of my sister’s best friends and she had talked about him frequently but I had never met him. Then one day he was there at our front door. It was like I was hit by lightening. Love at first sight and the knowing inside of me that he was the one. It was a mutual feeling. So many circumstances which had seemed impossible to me at that time unlocked. We left our country to study and graduate at the UC Berkeley School of Business, got married, had 2 wonderful children, built a beautiful house. We actually named our daughter Gaïa after the godess of the earth. This is how blessed we felt. My husband had an incredible international career and we had it all. Except around the age of 40+ I felt something missing. The ballet shoes and the kitchen passion never went away. My dear husband, who was now a Sr. VP worldwide for a leading Canadian bank, looked grey and I spent all my time practicing kundalini yoga. His personal assistant called me now and then to make an appointment for lunch with my love. Something was really wrong. I called my husband and told him we were astray. We lived on another continent than our family just fort he sake of a career and money and it was not a fulfilling life. The result of this conversation was that he quit his high paying job, we sold our Canadian house, went on that 7 week dream trip with the kids to Alaska and moved back home. We were both in search of our souls and had unknowingly over the years been practicing quite a bit of “The Secret”. So at the age of 42 I lived one of my dreams and went to chef school and graduated with highest honours. My husband finally spent the time with our teenagers on which they had been missing out. We acquired a catering business and have been working together since 2006. My husband returned to college 3 years ago to finally pursue his dream. He is now getting his bachelor degree as a professional photographer. In the meantime our children have good jobs and loving relationships, we’ve been travelling over the world and business goes well. Then Covid-19 hits. We have to close our business and put our employees on unemployment compensation (luckily we’re well covered in our country). We also have been working for some time on our dream to start a new business combining both our passions: photography, cooking and travel. Retirement is a word without substance to us and we intend to pursue our passions into our mature age. Since my 20’s I’ve dreamt to write a cookbook. A few years ago, I translated this into writing a successful blog. I’ve been searching for a domainname for 3 years now without success. I have many doubts about my writing skills and creativity. I’ve also tried to reconnect with my inner self since leaving kundalini yoga 14 years ago. I miss it, as I do the reiki I used to practice (I was certified reiki master in Canada). I feel uninspired by the stress of the past years. 


This is where you come in Vishen. I stumbled upon your course and it reminded me of all the things I had been reading about over the last decades (E.Cayce, Neal Donald Walsh, Mary Summer Rain, etc) and that we had in some way incorporated into our lives; but somehow I had lost touch with it. Your course put everything back into perspective and it gave me structure. Meditation has always been a difficult one for me because of the passive/monk approach with which I could not connect, even though I knew how important it was to my further development. The result is that I’m now totally committed to my daily meditation. I look forward to it every morning and I can get into the alpha frequency on a snap of the fingers. I’m grateful for this level for now since this was impossible just a few weeks ago. Deeper levels will come with practice. Your course also made me realise even more than ever how lucky I am and I practice gratitude with reverence. The other great news is that I’ve come up with my domainname for my blog after a meditation and all the domains were free!!!! We bought all of them! I’m also proud to state that I’ve picked up my reiki practice again. I put out to the Universe to help us rethink our current business post-Covid and I’m confident we’ll find a solution. We also have our new project that turns out to be a lot more expensive than anticipated but there also I apply you teachings. We cannot limit ourselves because of cost. The money will flow somehow. Oh, I also want to mention that one of my 3 MIQ’s was that I wanted to dance with my husband in the moonlight. Guess what! Yesterday evening there was the song “Mandy” on the radio and my husband took me into his arms and we danced. Ok we were both on slippers and I was not wearing the beautiful dress of my dreams but it was a very deep and loving moment. Thank you for your teachings (and sorry but the photo file didn't want to load up) With love and gratitude, Elkje
