When I was a teenager, growing up in France, I lacked confidence. My internal dialogue was saying: "To be successful, you have to be beautiful, but I am ugly."
This was a very stressful, counter-productive way to live. I went to see a French doctor who taught me how to relax my body through meditation. This technique was
very helpful to me and I used it on and off for twenty years. Ten years ago, I was inspired by Deepak Chopra's teaching and writings and registered for a Chopra seminar
in India. To be prepared for that experience, I learned Primordial Sound Meditation. Since then, I have been practicing Primordial Sound Meditation twice daily. As I
practiced my meditations, I realized I had to make some personal changes. I studied even more and read Conversations with God, by Neale. I soon discovered how I could
live a better life filled with joy, passion, happiness, and harmony.
My life has completely changed because I happened to meet someone who turned out to be much more important than anyone in my life: myself. Internal shifts happened
naturally and continue to shift me at all levels as I use so many techniques and tools from my in-depth studies. Friends and family have been noticing these productive,
positive changes and these wonderful shifts are why I wanted to share the benefits I experienced in meditation. So I decided to become a teacher through the Chopra Center
for Well Being, in California. I now teach "Primordial Sound Meditation," the "Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga" and the "Seven Universal Laws of Success in the Workplace,"
and continue my life purpose teaching by co-writing this CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD 2 Guidebook.
I intend to guide others with this Guidebook as a School of the New Spirituality Alliance Leader with my "Applications for Life" guidebook colleagues, a group of sixteen
inspirational professionals. It is my desire that you, too, will be inspired by this marvelous body of work. It is a simple and joyous way of life.
