"This is a story about survival"

This is not a story about courses that have transformed my life. This is a story about survival. 

In November 2 yrs ago, I lost 2 family members. A rescue dog from Spain that I tried to help but failed and shortly after my cat at 17 yrs old of age. 
At that time, my only other family member, another rescue dog from the Dominican Republic, stopped eating for 2 weeks due to her grief from the loss. I thought we would die both of us. So endless days after this, my tears insisted on coming during our walks in the forest. Yes, I was crying for about a year, unable to change my thoughts and emotions. 

This year in November, I lost my last family member. My precious Dominican girl, after 16 years of living together here in Sweden and traveling around the world. She was my everything and especially my best friend in life. Sweden is extremely dark this time of the year and even without any losses, it is hard. It might be difficult for some to imagine how it feels to lose your animal friends but I honestly wondered how to go on. 

All my motivation to continue was gone and I could find absolutely no inspiration. My biggest joy was gone with her. As a spiritual human being, I know we meet our pets when we die, so this is what occupied my mind. I wrote in despair to my Mentor and he talked to my subconscious mind during deep relaxation. 

I read Man´s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl and I engaged totally and fully in Mindvalley. I had All Access and I enrolled in a large number of courses simultaneously. 

I have listened to Marisa Meer over and over again and I also read the book How to Be Extraordinary by Vishen Lakhiani. I have found tremendous support from the courses and especially the course with the same name by Vishen. Not only do I do all the exercises diligently but I also get to laugh, for instance when Vishen talks about the "f...CK" word :) ! 
I could not stand doing those walks without my dog, so I cured the problem by buying running shoes. So with all these courses, practices, meditations, and lots and lots of running, plus some physical therapy sessions and tapping on my own, I have finally gotten through this sad moment coming to the end of the tunnel. 

So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Vishen and all people at Mindvalley and all wonderful instructors at Mindvalley for offering this tremendous opportunity for personal growth.

It all started some time ago with Anthony who is my personal link for support at Mindvalley and without him, I would not be here. 

Thank you all, thank you, Vishen, Marisa Peer, Jim Kwik, Donna Eden, Jeffrey Allen, Srikumar Rao, and many more... I wish you all a wonderful New Year and I also can inform you that I wait to help another dog sitting in Rumania at present, waiting for an adoption organization to bring her with via road transport in March. 

My purpose in life is to help as many animals in the world as possible, directly if I can, but also indirectly by supporting organizations and spreading information to the humans in the world about the feelings, thoughts, and emotions of animals that a lot of people do not seem to understand. 
Thank you and blessings to all, from Jane in the North
