info_outlineAt the age of 20, Patsie was so depressed, she took an overdose of painkillers. She ended up in the hospital, floating in and out of conscious. During that time, she connected with something that astonished her - a profound sense of total peace and love, beyond thought.
After she left the hospital, that peace was only a memory, so she started to explore meditation to find her way back to it. The first place she found it was practicing chi kung. She was able to let go of her mind and find that peace again.
She explored other practices - visualizations, yoga, breath work - and was able to connect with and maintain that sense of peace throughout her day. She continued to explore other forms of meditation and find other benefits even beyond that sense of peace. She was able to disconnect from her thoughts and deeply connect with who she truly is.
Today, Patsie has an amazing collection of meditation techniques she draws on every day as she needs to keep connected to her moment by moment experience and her soul. Listen to her story of all the techniques she’s used and the different benefits she has found with each one.

-

the type of Buddhist meditation she used to disengage from her thoughts
