ometimes I wonder if we are truly free, or simply slaves to the world’s paradigms—working, chasing, worrying, and repeating the same patterns while convincing ourselves we have time. We get so caught up in what we are supposed to do that we forget to actually live. And then, suddenly, we realize that while we were busy trying to control life, life was quietly passing us by. Perhaps true freedom is having the courage to break the pattern, question what no longer serves us, and choose to live . before time chooses for us. Excelente reflection!

Very helpful. As a grand-parent, I could have used this 30+ years ago, but it is never too late to bring this to improve any relationship. Thank you!

Hi, I wanted to send you a message. Somehow I can't find how to do this. Weird, cause I have sent messages to other teachers. I think your video is very helpful. I checked the worksheet, and honestly I don't see the 5 steps you mentioned. I just see to describe the situation, I don't see where exactly I am going inwords to reflect and see/disvover what the mirror is showing me, where I can heal. Looking forword for your response. Thank you!
