“Will definitely return to this course, for in-depth understanding, I took from it what I needed and I can’t put into words the change I feel. It goes beyond better sleep, positive thinking etc, it’s far more than that only it didn’t involve that much work which is odd, I just showed up to class and listened to the audios regularly. An almost sub conscious change within me without really doing anything. Intriguing!”
