My life has been interesting, and I have had a number of growth opportunities. I have learned many skills over the years and feel that I am overall truly blessed. Until recently, romantic relationships were my biggest challenge. After spending many years in a wheelchair (2003-2010), I am now healthy and in great shape, an immeasurable gift. Once, I was waiting to die. I was told I would never walk again, spend the rest of my (short) life on morphine, and eventually, the pain would overwhelm me, and I would end up committing suicide. I had given up until I almost did die! Then, the will to live was born. Instead of medication, I used meditation and with much better results! This led me to an exploration of many products from different sources and that is how I came across Mindvalley. I discovered Mindvalley so long ago that the Silva system was one of the first courses I bought. Over the years, I continued taking the free Masterclasses and acquiring the occasional product. Then, I watched the video with Vishen Lakhiani and Marisa Peer. I had genuinely enjoyed reading “The Code of the Extraordinary Mind,” and here was one of the people this book was based on! The hypnosis section got me hooked. It guided me back to my childhood to the very moment I was imprinted with the feeling that had overshadowed my entire adult life! I took that helpless little girl out of there and brought her back with me to the present. The changes that resulted from that quest were remarkable! It was the catalyst for an incredible journey of growth! As a result of my Mindvalley courses and quests, I took charge of my life. I worked my way through issues from my childhood. I identified past relationship patterns and set about changing them. I started to see events in my past as neither good nor bad, they just were and made me who I am today.
I like who I am. I am now healthier and happier than I have ever been, and I continue to grow, to learn! My goal is to become even more extraordinary. I feel that surviving trauma, putting it behind us, is a journey, not a destination. Thanks to Mindvalley and, in no small measure Marisa Peer, when issues from the past come up, I now have excellent coping skills and can deal with them and whatever happens in my life. For this, I am immensely grateful. To say Mindvalley changed my life is putting it mildly. Thanks to my new abilities, I actually managed to remain an observer through the worst Post Traumatic Stress attack I have ever had. I was working my way through the ‘Conscious Uncoupling’ quest at that time, and it was bringing things into the light. The episode lasted almost three days. Through most of it, I stayed calm and detached. I just watched those movies playing in front of my mind’s eye and accepted them. They are part of what made me the amazing person I am today. The healing that resulted has been phenomenal. So much of what I was shown, I had forgotten. It had bubbled somewhere deep in my subconscious. Now that I have faced this, I will never be a victim again, a lesson that has since then been reinforced by the ‘Life Visioning Mastery’ quest with Michael Beckwith. I am now taking ‘Energy Medicine’ with Donna Eden and David Feinstein, ‘Lifebook’ with Jon and Missy Butcher, and I have made myself an early birthday gift of ‘The All Access Quests.’ I am determined to keep growing, to become the absolute best me that I can be, to get into even better shape, to be happy, healthy, and thrive. Mindvalley and the incredible courses and quests that they offer will be my biggest ally in my journey into more good than I could ever imagine.
