"My overall experience with the Awaken & Align program has been the most close-to-the-heart experience. I personally found the flow & structure of the program perfect. The pace of the 3-week interval following the lunar cycle  was comfortable, especially when I am sensitive to the moon cycle as well. I like the mix of having a hybrid of group calls and 1:1 sessions. And the size of the cohort was just right. It is small enough for me to feel safe and I do not hold back when it comes to sharing my thoughts and feelings. I like the support that the group gives each other during the calls too.

​

My favourite pillar was Stage #2: Unveiling. This group call  was about understanding the shadow self, not rejecting it but recognising and accepting it is one of the most significant discoveries that is uncovered by Janel. I never knew that we are able and can accept our shadow self as the true pathway to knowing ourselves. I especially like the group exercises done (For e.g.: 5 steps to grow from people who bother you) My most favourite part of the program was meeting my inner child and teenage self. There is not one more impactful than that. Meeting all the different aspects of SELF, including my higher self - brings out so much hope and inner strength in myself. Before that, I thought that I needed to find hope and help outside. This program taught me that whatever I needed, I already have it. Most significantly, it is the guided experiences in the 1:1 sessions – being able to visually see and experience my other selves, brings so much strength and comfort coming home feeling and security. I have to say there is no part of the program that was least favourite to me. I felt though, that before I began to shed the outer layer of me, I felt the need to perform, to heal because "I should". However, Janel was key in always reminding us to take as much and as long the time needed to heal through all the processes.

​

To me, knowing that there was no rush was very important to me. The breakthrough for me, is that, in anything that I want for myself, I do not need to rush into it but to be able to sit comfortably in my own discomfort and look inwards. In all the content & resources provided, the guided meditations were very helpful. The youtube references to other speakers by Oprah Winfrey & Winfrey Eckhart Tolle were really relevant. Interestingly, I have been following and reading books written by Eckhart. I told myself that I will re-read them with a renewed interest and understanding. They are like supplementaries that help to solidify the content from the program. This program fell into my lap, at the right time, at the right place. I am so thankful to Janel who did not let me go when I said I didn't want to join the program. I am so grateful to her that she did not let me go but encouraged me!

​

My key takeaways are: That I should never doubt myself or my worth, the "bad" shadow parts of myself are really just part of me and I should not be afraid or ashamed. It starts with me and I am important, I love myself, I accept myself. From the Awaken & Align program I feel a sense of lightness. The pain in my chest is much less when I feel anxious and I recover faster from it. Moreover, my quality of sleep is more rested. My breakthrough from the Awaken & Align program is I know that I am not alone in my healing journey and my higher self is always with me. I feel more calm and settled in my emotional state and spiritually not so helpless and lost. I have also learned to choose to commit to taking time out weekly to care for myself both physically and mentally. Also walking the path that I decided for myself and my own future. I definitely felt supported by Janel, as a coach. I am very contented as I am now – knowing that I can always come back to you for help and support."
