The 7 Sacred States Challenge

"What I noticed going through this program is calmness or a trust in myself that things will work out"

Quick summary

At 74, Alan discovered the missing piece in years of personal development work: faith. Through the program, they found a profound calmness and finally embraced the truth that they are enough—a breakthrough that brought new joy to family moments.

I just finished the Seven Sacred States with Vishen. The state that impacted me the most was Faith. I have been working on personal development and self improvement for years. At 74 years old I am comfortable, maybe too comfortable, but aspire to the next level of myself and it has been a struggle. I think my lack of faith is a contributor.

What I noticed going through this program is calmness or a trust in myself that things will work out. Due to perceived time constraints I pressure myself too much.

My biggest break through from this program is that I am finally convinced that I am enough. That alone just makes me happier and more content. It even affected how I interacted with my family on Christmas Eve. Just confident, comfortable and content.

It feels wonderful, so thank you !
