My wish Gabor starts the book with an impactful statement – In the most health-obsessed society ever, all is not well. And what is normal is very questionable today. Because we humans are very adaptive. With resilience and grit, we adapt to any situation, from COVID-19 to the Ebola Virus.

Vania, a Non-violent communication trainer, conducted a profound session titled ‘Needs of my ancestors’ on the 31 st of October. Dia de Muertos is an annual Mexican tradition.

To reiterate, PLR is not hypnosis. PLR is not taking control of the mind of the other. PLR is undoubtedly not eking out information against the others’ will. PLR is an inventure, an inner adventure where the conscious mind dares to venture ideep into oneself. PLR opens the doors to those parts of
