"I learned so much"

"I learned so much"

Thank you, Marisa, this has been a wonderful journey together with you and I would love to give you a bouquet of 100 roses and a big bowl of freshly cut watermelon with a side plate of some dark chocolate nibs....as some "delayed gratification".
That said, so much of what you said and shared, interfaced and re-enforces so much of what I already know, but you added so many new fragrant limbs to my tree of life. Which is a life-long gift. Because of your kind and deep insight, I learned so much more, because we ALL need other people to enrich our lives, help us "clean out our closets", clean under the beds and tidy up our gardens. In many ways, you took me from being a pauper to being immensely abundant and I relished every word, every image and every train of thought to the top of the mountain. 
But, I TRULY love the Meditations. They are filled with common-sense, and filled with so much value especially for people who are stuck because "life can get in the way" and they get distracted from learning the important lessons that can make our lives that much richer.
I am a professional, Hall Of Fame songwriter and I live in a garden of words and melodies every day. I love it. New plants and new vibrations are constantly drifting thru the breeze and I have learned to be quiet and listen and watch. You sessions about thoughts and words were like a symphony for me and I sat back with a big smile on my face.
Bottom line, I loved this program and will be going back to it to listen to the meditations...they made and make my heart soar like an eagle. So, I know I can't give you a big hug, but I will send you flocks of songbirds to sing to you and your family when you least expect it.
Aside from my love of the various themes of "thoughts being things", I am also very interested in the idea of helping to heal people with music and positive thoughts.
As I began my journey with the members of Mindvalley, I was inspired to create an album of healing instrumentals. Writing an album of music is not an easy task. But, this album was created, produced, mixed, mastered and package in under 4 weeks. Within a week, 4 songs were in the Top Ten of 14 different New Age music charts.
In closing, your program is one of GREAT healing and is to be savored. And I want to leave you with one last story.
Awhile back, I had a dream and I felt I was in the presence of The Almighty and I stepped into His Essence and heard Him ask me, "Chester, if you could have just one wish, what would it be?"
Well, the dream dissolved immediately and I woke up and grabbed my bedside journal and I wrote these words, "I wish that I could heal". Below that, I wrote the lyrics to this song in one, uninterrupted stream. 
God bless you, Marisa, and God keep you because YOU are a healer and the world needs more of them, ESPECIALLY these days.

Marisa has awakened something in me that I know is just the surface and there is a lot more work to do to shake off these built-in beliefs I have created as a child off the back of people’s opinions, that I have allowed to rule my life and the way I see myself (and others)! I know I once was an...
