i was actually someone who always thought i couldn't meditate i've tried uh and after doing
the pre-course work and attending this event uh not only has my life been forever changed
uh i'm i'm also a meditator but most importantly i wanted to share a few things that happened to
me while i was at the week-long retreat so um i on my birthday which is june 3rd
i started giving getting this clavicle pain that i couldn't describe i had no idea what was
causing it um and i also couldn't fix it i went to physical therapy and it was just so intense
um and i couldn't get it to go away i've had neck and back issues my whole life but uh i never went
to this event thinking about the clavicle pain i just kind of was dealing with it so after
our first coherency healing which was my first experience in a coherency ever i was completely
moved tears rolling down my face on my chest like i was kind of a hot mess
um in the most powerful way and that evening after that first coherence
coherency healing um i was going to bed just about to drift off and all of a sudden in my
hotel room you know my sheets pop up and my legs do this weird move and my hips went and i i can't
i can't do that move again i don't know what happened or how it happened
and i heard my clavicle pop and i was like oh my god is do i am in pain my clavicle pain has been
gone um every day after that i kind of was like checking i'm like is it still is it coming back
is it theirs or whatever um so i'm so thankful for that and um the second thing that occurred
to me was during the pineal gland meditation so this again not being a meditator um this was
i i went into this meditation knowing that i was just gonna go all in and give it my best
and during that meditation on uh our first lay down i had the most incredible experience um
this was the first time i had ever left my son for more than 24 hours and i was gone for the
entire week um from connecticut and uh so i was a long ways away and i was really really missing him
he's two and a half he had a challenging week too um and i thought before the meditation i was like
i wonder if he's gonna sleep good this morning i just like kind of had this that thought and
then went into the meditation and during the first lay down um i went to him and it was the most real
thing i've ever experienced and he gave me the biggest hug the entire weight of his body was on
me he had his head here and his little arm when he hugs you it's like he's choking you not meaning to
but um i completely felt him and i went to him and it was so helpful for me to have had
experienced that um just to know that i'm always connected to him that i can always connect to him
and that morning i called my husband and said you're gonna think i'm crazy but this is what
happened and he goes andrea he slept in today and he i can count on one hand how many times he slept
he slept past 7 a.m um and he slept in and i talked with him with my son later that day and i
said did you feel mommy hug you we're on facetime i said did you feel mommy hug you today and he was
like yes and i was like really and he was like yes mommy i'm like oh my god so he felt it too and um
i didn't realize how profound that was until at breakfast someone at our table was like did
anybody feel anything mystical and i was like i started to talk about it and i couldn't even speak
um because it was just so magical and then the last thing that i really wanted to share
with you and um just be so grateful for is uh not one of the last walking meditation we did
um dr joe asks us to uh you know look back the person who showed up to the walk and um thank them
and because now you're in your future self right when you're looking back and give them love
and i've never been that type of person who's been able or even thought to give myself love
there have been moments where i've been proud of myself in my life but never
given myself love and when i turned that love in i just felt it everywhere and i'm just so grateful
to have had that experience because if it wasn't for the old me i wouldn't have been at this event
um to create and bring my future closer and more real and more alive in such a short amount of time
