Hello Everyone!
My name is Verity, Im from South Africa, but have been living and working in the UK for the last three years. I have always pushed myself extremely hard both physically and mentally.. with the mindset that everything takes hard work and you have to constantly push to make things happen. Of course I ended up giving myself a severe case of burnout which I just tried to ignore and push through. My body had other ideas and got extremely ill. My experience with allopathic forms of diagnosis and treatment have been generally unpleasant and disempowering. (Sorry I do not wish to offend anyone here, and I mean no disrespect). So I began to meditate, sometimes up to six hours a day in order to try to reconnect with my body and to calm myself down. I met an incredible kinesiologist who helped me to look at what was right about the situation and pointed towards the emotions and traumas that needed healing, this opened up a whole new world to me and I have been hooked on the mind body connection ever since. It may seem so obvious now, but a few years ago, I just did not connect the dots at all!! I still have a ways to go to heal, but I am working again and feeling stronger every day. I understand that we all have our own path to take and everyone's journey to wholeness is unique, but thinking back on the way I felt when I first fell ill, if I could in some small way help just one person not to feel the hopeless desperation and fear that I felt in that situation then  that would be such a precious gift!! I definitely felt guided toward this course and I am so grateful to go on this exciting journey with you all whether it is to heal ourselves or others, it is all the same thing at the end of the day. :) Thanks so much to Kora and Thorsten and Much love to everyone!
