Have you ever faced a fear that made your heart race and your mind spin with thoughts of failure? In this episode I share a personal experience of rock climbing in Squamish, where I had to confront my fear of heights and falling. I had the opportunity to practice and embody a spiritual concept that I teach my clients and inside of my programs.
The profound question “Other than what you’re thinking and believing, are you okay?” helped me to focus on the present moment and realize that I was truly safe and okay in that moment.
The power of spiritual practices and tools in helping us expand our consciousness and evolve as individuals is key to living a full life beyond what we have lived before.
In this episode I invite listeners to question their thinking when they feel stressed or challenged and to practice the principle of alignment with self.
Are you ready to conquer your fears and live in alignment with your true self? Check out my upcoming transformational Mentorship program, UNLEASHED, which focuses on deconditioning and shedding the subconscious programs that hold us back in life.
And join us for our Ignite Your Light Retreats in Costa Rica for real-time transformation and stepping outside of your comfort zone.
