D.S.L

I travelled from New Zealand to Canada to attend Lana and Ivan’s Intronaut Retreat with the intention of healing from the remnants of emotional trauma I had been unable to get free from despite two years of dedicated work with a psychologist and psychotherapist.  For context, I had been involved in a serious car accident and one of the physical injuries that was still impacting my daily life was a head injury. I had zero expectation of receiving any assistance to heal my brain. 

One day of the retreat started with a healing meditation. A meditation showing us how to aide our own healing. I experienced a very real sensation and visual imagery of black sludge leaving my brain. I was so astounded by it I didn’t share it with the group. Could this be real?

By lunch time I had a migraine like no other. On a pain scale it was beyond 10/10. I sent a message that I wasn’t able to attend the afternoon ceremony. Ivan very generously offered me a healing. Within 15 mins the pain had reduced to 5/10. Before the ceremony had begun, Ivan offered me a second healing and within minutes the pain with 1/10. Barely discernible!

I was able to have the most life defining experience in ceremony and the pain never returned. 

Thank you, Lana and Ivan, for reminding me of our infinite capacity to heal ourselves. 

Just in case you’re curious about the emotional trauma I intended to heal, I can no longer find the sensations of PTSD in my body. Gone is the choking, rising panic and vice like grip in my chest! I am so deeply grateful.
