When Ann 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 ½ an inch at age 55. Ann has found that seeking out our truth, what we truly feel, and accepting those feelings, is the key to inner peace. You can find Ann at:<a href="https://annhince.com/" rel="nofollow">https://annhince.com/</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AnnHinceWisdom" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/AnnHinceWisdom</a>  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTc4hb7ZKvih1LlRHK0cUjg" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTc4hb7ZKvih1LlRHK0cUjg</a>  Book: A Pathway to Insight  <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pathway-Insight-Re-capture-your-childhood/dp/B08N9P9LP6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25E2PRG9RD49K&keywords=a+pathway+to+insight&qid=1642539415&sprefix=a+pathway+to+insight%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Pathway-Insight-Re-capture-your-childhood/dp/B08N9P9LP6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25E2PRG9RD49K&amp;keywords=a+pathway+to+insight&amp;qid=1642539415&amp;sprefix=a+pathway+to+insight%2Caps%2C129&amp;sr=8-1</a>  Check out our social media for more information on the topic and save our posts to come back to later:@thebloom.podcast on Instagram@bloompodcastmh on Facebookhttps://redcircle.com/shows/bloomBloom Podcast on YouTube If you like this episode please subscribe to our podcast and rate and review us!intro+outro music: What a Wonderful Day by Shane Ivershttps://www.silvermansound.com
