105 Insights That Raised My Consciousness And Changed My Life!

I first discovered Mindvalley back in December of 2018. At that time I was feeling a bit stuck, stagnant, and frustrated with the repetition of my life. I wanted more fulfillment and to start designing a life with intention of my choosing. I felt this yearning inside me of wanting more.

I can recall being up late one night randomly googling for answers and somehow I landed on the Mindvalley website. They offered me a free course on the 6-Phase Meditation and I was hooked. Not only was this the start of my ongoing meditation practice but it was the beginning of my “awakening.” I began deeply immersing myself in personal growth and Mindvalley became the outlet for raising my consciousness and enriching my mind, body, and spirit.

This list is a high-level summary of some of the insights I have attained from being a Mindvalley fan and follower — from the countless Masterclasses, YouTube videos, blog posts, and podcasts I consumed since that fateful night when I first stumbled onto their site and long before ever becoming an actual enrolled student.

In 2020 I enrolled as an All-Access member and I can honestly say it is the best value in education you will find. But this list doesn’t include any insights or knowledge from any recent quests/courses I have taken as an All-Access member. That list might be coming soon.

If have questions about any of these insights or interested in resources in going deeper, I’d love to hear from you.
