“I just wanted to keep changing.
It felt so good to just keep being the person I had been dreaming of.”

By the time the symptoms of Crohn’s disease sent Ariel to the doctor, the condition had already progressed to advanced stages. Unable to digest or metabolize most food, he was drastically malnourished and underweight. His doctor told him he’d need to take medication for the rest of his life.

Deeply familiar with Dr Joe’s work, Ariel tried other methods to heal. He noticed small shifts and gains with lifestyle and diet changes, but most of the symptoms persisted. So, he decided to “tune in to the innate intelligence” in his body. With renewed intention, he began meditating every single day.

One morning, during his daily meditation, Ariel had a moment – a moment where he connected with the person he’d been dreaming of becoming. He began building on that elevated emotion, connecting to it and sustaining it throughout his waking days. By the time he answered the call to attend a retreat, Ariel was ready to fully become that future self. He was ready to be healed.
