Brianna Lafferty, a 33-year-old woman from Colorado, lived with a rare neurological disorder called myoclonus dystonia, which causes sudden and uncontrollable muscle contractions. One day, her condition caused her heart to stop. While in hospital, doctors declared her clinically dead for eight full minutes. This means no heartbeat, no breathing, and no brain activity. But Brianna, like many other people who've experienced 'death' and came back, says she never truly left her awareness behind. Instead, she describes gently stepping out of her body, as if shrugging off a heavy coat, and entering a place outside of time. She recalls feeling more alive and whole than ever before, with no pain or fear - just a serene, clear presence. This is another commonly described experience. In this state of consciousness, she found that her thoughts seemed to shape her experience. Negative thoughts could be shifted before they appeared, and peaceful ones manifested gently around her. While eight minutes passed in the physical world, for her, it felt like months as she explored, reflected, and encountered beings of pure awareness - beings that radiated unconditional love and wisdom. Yet another common experience of near death. When she returned to life, she had to relearn basic functions and underwent brain surgery for damage to her pituitary gland. Yet fundamentally, she felt renewed. She’s now less afraid of death, more intentional in how she lives, and deeply aware of how thought shapes experience. Brianna frames death not as an endpoint, but as a “change of address,” a shift in form, not finality. So what can we take from this? What can we bring into our own lives that make them richer for the experience of another? Well, for one we can take the creative aspect of life, our imagination directly impacts our experience... sit on that... what we do, what we did today, was a direct reflection of the thoughts we held about ourselves in sincerity, moving towards the moment we experienced them. This is the single most important thought we can ever embrace in this life... we experience what we creatively think into being and so if we can think the best for ourselves then that will be our experience... how much fun is that!

If today is not happening in the way that you would of chosen then you would be fair in wondering how to get it to stop being that way! The whole manifestation crew mindset can be quite intimidating when things are not goin your way, there can seem to be a heap of blame directed towards the person for whom things are not flowing smoothly, so many ruru's claim to live a level or several above where they are, mostly because that is a part of the process, you must come from a place of having and being all that you wish for rather than try to get, grab or receive something you want...that said, it can be less than helpful for someone to be focused upon someone else's achievements when they are feeling challenged and encroached upon by their own circumstances. One trick I wish I had earlier in my challenges is to have a goal card, one that was written when I was in the best of places!, that I use to remind myself of who I am becoming, the strengths, internal vibe, energetic power I see myself building towards, I feel the adrenaline pump, vivacity wash over me and a sense of capability buzz all through me. This may not send you up into the stratosphere but it will certainly soothe any destructive tendencies you are beating yourself up with! btw The Trick then is to repeat this sensational mental adventuring 3-5 times per day, relentlessly, for about 90 days...if you do it less than twice a day it does not count and you have to start again! Dead set the only way to change your life is with this 75 Hard type approach where you do the hard thing with relentless focus and determination because the trade-off is phenomenal! Imagine, your life, a million times better, just because you DECIDED to do something different to anything else you have ever done before for a few weeks. Are you going to be different to most other folk?! Just say yes and give it a go. Also, if you would like someone to help, someone to check-in with, someone to be accountable to I am totally all-in here with Skool and am super excited to see how this space evolves for everyone.

of how to be your best self...best self is easiest seen through the lens of a universe in which all choices have ever been made and you who is reading this is in the position whereby you get to choose which of the infinite possibilities you would like to live right now. That's it. Anything is possible. Choose your life, endure whatever learning process you must go through and then you get to live it. All paths begin in your imagination. An imagination that is either working with and for you right now...or it is working against you, devaluing your potential, dictating your possibilities and directing your output in ways that do not bring you joy, satisfaction or peace. When you start, I'm gonna go gym analogies here, it is like turning up to exercise of the first day. No matter where you see yourself in the future you will not begin from that point, it will take time, regularity and a soupçon of savagery to make your way through the challenges so that you can reach your desired state of health, fitness and aesthetics. So too does life begin with the decision to step into a space suited to support your growth. And this is what I hope to bring to Skool here. So if you know you can be better and want to see which techniques, methods and practices have merit and which ones are more about selling you something than bringing you something then give us a short description of your thoughts on what life could and should be about below and lets start working together on a Better World to live within.
