  • 130: I AM... SHEDDING MY PAST SELF!

    When Ann Hince was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom.

    Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. Ann found a simple technique that helped her release these emotions - but she went further and can now put her awareness inside her body - and has changed the bone structure of her skull and grown ¾ of an inch at age 56. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace.
