"No matter how I feel before, I always feel more alive after." ~R 
​ 
"Blossoming! Exploring and witnessing all parts of myself—even the 
scared parts, the ashamed parts, and the annoyed at being scared and 
ashamed parts! Bathing them all in golden-white light, giving myself 
patience, grace, and respect. Remembering I am already worthy and 
whole." ~K 
​ 
"Then, as the music lifts so does my body. I notice my breath. Ahh, to 
move and be alive! From this embodied place I truly experience the 
wisdom from within myself." ~L
