Joslyn V

"The ability to find joy in the everyday without the highs, triumphs, or accolades—that's truly reality-shifting"

Joslyn V · Consultant · Miami, United States
Three days before the 7 Sacred States Challenge I was in the closet-LITERALLY on my bedroom closet floor curled in the fetal position bawling my eyes out. For years, I've poured everything into helping, pursuing, striving and saw absolutely no results. I've done the hard work hustle, tried visualization, hypnotherapy…
Justin Tanis

"After years of addiction, depression, and being told I would die, I learned to trust life again and discovered that what’s meant for me truly cannot miss me"

Justin Tanis · Foreign Exchange Trader · Haarlem, Netherlands
First of all I'd like to say thank you and say that I am truly grateful for getting to see this 7 day program. It is actually a miracle to me and now I know it is not a coincidence but actually a synchronicity. I want to give a very short background story which explains it better. And end with just a small part of what…
Indrani (Idee)

“I stopped chasing outcomes, returned to who I truly am, and watched my life and work begin to flow again—without force”

Indrani (Idee) · Animal Caregiver · Dehra Dun, India
Before the 7 sacred states challenge, I was exhausted and quietly defeated. On the outside, I had a professional practice I'd spent years building. On the inside, I felt like I was running in place. Nothing was flowing. Effort wasn't translating into results. And for the first time, I was seriously preparing to walk…
Jo Eaton

“I released a lifelong wound, forgave my mother, and found calm and wholeness I had never known before”

Jo Eaton · Artist · Gorham, United States
Before Seven Sacred States of Spirituality, I have spend fifty years periodically and regularly attending therapy. At this point, now a senior member of my large extended family, I am experiencing great healing and ready to move forward with the next thirty years of my life. I took this course to encourage, solidify…
Jacqui Wilkinson

"This challenge helped me become more myself – a human being, not just a human doing – with less fear running the show"

Jacqui Wilkinson · Transformation Coach · Oxford, United Kingdom
The 7 Sacred States Challenge - From Human Doing to Human Being Externally, people see a survivor-turned-leader: a senior RAF Wing Commander, trauma-informed leadership speaker and author who turned nine ACEs into a mission. Internally, my nervous system still behaved like it was on permanent active duty. I could talk…
Lucia Oxentenko

“I stopped living from shame and fear and chose to receive, trust, and stand fully in the powerful woman I was always meant to become”

Lucia Oxentenko · Self-employed · Chicago, United States
Four years before this program, I began my spiritual journey in a place so dark that even hope seemed afraid to enter. I wrote farewell letters to the few souls I loved, believing that my disappearance would be a kindness to the world. I had been taught-slowly, repeatedly-that everything was my fault. And because I did…
Christine Deacons

"I felt so 'fired up' and restored that I wrote an entire novella in just two days—a process that normally takes me weeks of second-guessing"

Christine Deacons · Author · Ann Arbor, United States
The Seven Sacred States workshop was a profound catalyst for a total life reset for me. While all the states were valuable, State #1: Knowingness was a direct answer to a years-long struggle with my confidence. After a series of rough events, I realized I had been carrying a weight that wasn't mine-a childhood belief…
Blair Lister

"I've developed an acceptance of myself that I never thought possible"

Blair Lister · Independent Video Producer · Vernon, Canada
For most of my life, I was trapped in a cycle of self-sabotaging habits based on cultural norms that never truly fit who I was. This led to poor self-image, lack of motivation, and inconsistent achievements that eventually spiraled into poverty. Deep down, I knew I was called to BE more, but I couldn't seem to break…
Cheri Stringer

"It gave me language, tools, and perspective that helped me stay present through change I couldn’t control"

Cheri Stringer · Life Coach · Longmont, United States
When I Said "I'm Ready" I didn't grow up with much stability. I was an only child raised by a mother with serious mental illness. Home was unpredictable. I learned early how to read the room, how to stay small, how to leave when things weren't safe. I left home at sixteen. Later, I set a firm boundary and stepped away…
Chandra Williams

"I know I’m on the right path. I have so much hope for my future now"

Chandra Williams · Designer · Niles, United States
I discovered Mindvalley a few years ago from an IG ad. I was immediately drawn to Vishen and his insight on basically becoming the best version of yourself. I joined immediately, even though I was totally broke and proceeded to learn about all the things I believed would help me get to a better place in life. After a…
Kim London

“The challenge helped me let go of what was harming me and begin living from peace, self-love, and trust again”

Kim London · Comptroller · West Palm Beach, United States
Hi Vishen! First of all, I want to thank you for offering the 7 Sacred States Challenge! It has been quintessential in not only helping me to find my peace of mind again, but also allowing me to find the courage to make the necessary life changes which will finally allow me to prioritize my own well being and start my…
Martha Precious

"This journey with Mindvalley has helped me move from self-doubt to self-trust"

Martha Precious · Consultant · Charleston, United States
I just finished Vishen's 7-Day Challenge, and it felt like coming full circle. I've been with Mindvalley since 2021, and The Silva Ultramind System was the very first program I ever signed up for. I chose it because, like Vishen, I had owned The Silva Mind Control Method since I was a young teen. No matter where I…
