I came across mindvalley 3 years ago when I was struggling in school and had an intense dislike for where I was but was too stubborn to quit and was fearful of disappointing my parents. I had decided to give this company a try but ended up giving up after a very traumatic experience sent me on a downward spiral of mental degradation and sexual abuse. The person who did this was constantly in my life as he and I had a mutual friend group and I was afraid of losing the people who I held close to my heart. So I smiled and acted as if nothing was wrong and continued to take this abuse as he forced himself upon me daily while instilling in me that without him I had nothing while not only being with other women constantly but tarnishing my reputation in the community around me. It took me a year to get away from the situation and another half a year to get away from him. Around this time was when I had my awakening. During I was actively avoiding my abuser when the man who is now my current partner asked me a question while I was smiling and talking to him. "Who hurt you?" Those words rung through my head over and over and that night I happened upon an advertisement on YouTube for a mindvalley webinar and in the webinar it talked about the 4 levels of conciousness, brules, and many other things. And at the end was a link to buy the book, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind. I bought the book and read it and it opened the world around me and made me realize I wasn't just here in the world, that I could change the lives of those around me and I didn't have to listen to the brakes of the world. I was slowly breaking out of the culturescape and realizing what my vision is. But, I couldn't get past the rage, anger, and paranoia I had from experiences I had and it held me in place, till now, one and a half years later with another mindvalley webinar. This time it offered a class and a bonus. The bonus was, the 6 phase meditation. When I started the first day with compassion, I felt a shift within me and it became even more prevalent on the third day with forgiveness. I used every day after, when on forgiveness, to forgive what he had done and to let go of all the negativity pent up inside of me. I didn't realize that these emotions were holding me back. But now every day I'm feeling more liberated and ready to build myself until I can bend realty and change the world for the better. Thank you so much for building this platform and bringing these quests to people I the world. Before mindvalley, I was very lost and in a very low point in my life but now every day I'm getting a clearer vision for the future and how I can contribute to the world.
