Before Tao I was experiencing so much sadness. The world looked very grey—always trying to function on top of so much anxiety and physical pain. Why couldn’t I feel joy and excitement with the little things experienced or even big things accomplished?

Now making the decision to come to Tao was very difficult and I was full of fear and apprehension which didn’t subside even well into the program. But what did I discover?
1. I recovered my joy underneath so much pain, hurt and old buried memories.
2. I was able to break through so much resistance and fear of physical pain and fear about not being able to do it right.
3. I choose to not let those fears run my life.
3a. I learned to tell the truth about myself and the pain that has debilitated me.
4. I learned that everything I need is within my own body and attention must be paid to that body.
5. I learned that I must live in the present—not in the past; that I can truly forgive myself and love myself.
6. I learned that real healing comes with healing my emotions and now I am confident that with help, I can begin to change habits that did not serve me and begin to heal my physical body.
7. I have found a new trust in myself and a brand new appreciation of all the feeling within my body.
