‘Joy is an intense, burning, totally loving mirror to myself, a force of nature, she finds the key to open the door to the truth of you, behind the mask.
I have noticed the dissolving of a subtle cocoon I had wrapped myself in of mostly unconscious protection mechanisms. I am more courageous and freer, I feel safer within myself even in the midst of unpredictability. This simple method of releasing has made a very quick and powerful difference on many levels of my being. I am a writer and in the last month I wrote three new pieces and finished a novel I had struggled with for ages

On this course I had a knowing of the peace and presence that I am. This knowing gives ‘me’ much more relaxation and acceptance. Everything is arising and it's great! Nothing needs to change! I have so much gratitude for this opening
