There’s an ancient Vedic invocation sung before embarking on a journey asking to be led from untruth to truth and from darkness to light. Christina skillfully guides you on a journey oriented toward thriving and blossoming using her brilliant, fresh model introducing you to your back door hackers, a R.A.W. scale, your distraction mode, and my favorite, your G.P.S. so that you are sourced to thrive.
