Dana Retzlaff

Hi, I’m Dana. For years, I’ve been fascinated by one question: Why can we know exactly what we want to change, and still find ourselves repeating the same patterns? My work explores the connection between the mind, nervous system, identity, the body, science and spirituality, and how all of these influence the way we think, feel, react and ultimately create our lives. Here on Insight Timer, I share meditations and practices to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, regulate your system and consciously create more of the life you actually want to live. But meditation is only one piece of the puzzle. That’s why we created Mindset Mastery: The only personal development program you’ll ever need. It’s a complete step-by-step journey designed for people who have already listened to the podcasts, read the books, tried the meditations and learned so much about personal development… but still keep falling back into the same patterns. Inside, we go deeper into your stress drivers, beliefs, values, identity, brain, nervous system, manifestation, self-regulation and Future Self, combining practical tools with science and spirituality. No endless talking. No collecting another hundred pieces of information. One path. From understanding yourself to actually changing the way you live. If you feel ready to go deeper than my meditations here, you can find Mindset Mastery through the link in my profile. Your future is yours to create.

A fantastic course that opened up and coincided with some necessary shadow work to finish. I was energized each and every day throughout this course. I highly recommend as someone who has tried nearly everything from food changes (letting go of snacks is a big one for me), to weight lifting plus cardio which historically wasn’t getting to the root of the issue. Once I started to look at these unprocessed feelings and how I’ve allowed others to treat me, I’ve noticed a shift within myself. It’s been just a few pounds, but the biggest change I’ve noticed is how confident I feel in speaking my truth. I also am paying attention to when my body is full, bored or scared and honoring & acknowledging that, then allowing myself to pause and sit with those feelings instead of stuffing or shoving them down. Then I can make a decision on how I want to proceed. Thank you Dana, Namaste 🙏🏻✨💜

I know this to be true. Most people haven't learned this and need to reprogram their bodies.
