It's there speaking to us, and we're not listening." —Didi Selwa 09:01 "You have to find what works for you, what speaks to you and your soul, in order for it to actually have a transformational impact in your life." —Didi Selwa 12:19 "With transformation, it has to have an anchor— and it's uncomfortable." —Donna Piper 13:05 "Just being you and being authentic makes people feel safe to do the same." —Didi Selwa 25:26 "Transcendance is about moving to honor how your body wants to move in that moment. By doing that, you get more in touch with your body to what they need." —Donna Piper 35:50 "Honor and love your body where you are and yourself where you're at, still giving yourself that freedom to transform it as well." —Didi Selwa 36:17 "Affirmations and what you tell yourself 100% affect how you do your life. However, just by saying certain things doesn't always make them come true." —Donna Piper 37:46 "There's more to manifesting than just saying these things and putting them up on your vision board. And what it really comes from is our energy, becoming a vibrational match to that affirmation. So, it's not only saying the words, but also envisioning it." —Didi Selwa 44:18 "I like to tap into the creative aspect, because spirit loves fun, our body loves fun, our mind loves fun. And a lot of times, we don't really give ourselves enough time to do that creative expression." —Didi Selwa 50:38 "Move forward, take action. It may happen, it may not, but it's just about putting one step in front of the other— doing that is so important. When you go forward, you realize, 'oh, that's not for me', but in the process, you discover what is." —Didi Selwa Connect with Didi: Didi Selwa is a Transformational Life Coach and Certified Level II TranscenDanceTM Facilitator in Los Angeles, California.
