Full Transformational Healing™ session here! I received so many DMs from all of you about the relationship with in-laws, and I love crafting bespoke healing sessions on this podcast. Today, we are going to work on our relationship with your in-laws, past or present, or any other person/people in your life that may cause triangulation in your life. 0You will hear: -how Transformational Healing™ has helped me with my disabilities; -the backbone of why this type of healing blending neuroscience and spirituality works, especially for relationships; -a meditation to bring you to a peaceful place; -a full Transformational Healing process to rewrite a singular memory with your in-laws, or whatever triangulated relationship is calling for healing today; -a grounding process to move you back into your day. Note: When humming the tones using my own version of polyvagal toning to support the vagus nerve and nervous system, the audio cuts out about 1 second into the tone. Just keep using your voice to tone until you hear the next tone start. You will know what to do when you hear it!
