Listening, Letting Go, & Attitudinal Healing | Geralyn Russell

A life devoted to finding peace regardless of circumstance, external or internal: sitting in a cancer center, her heart fills with gratitude; at the bedsides of the dying, her heart swells with love; even in a season of failing health, arriving at a training by wheelchair, she found wholeness and oneness; and in the depths of meditation, she settles into an infinite love beyond time and space. Geralyn Russell's journey began with the certitude of God's existence, and has carried her into deep study of the teachings of yoga, contemplative Christianity, Dr. David R. Hawkins, Attitudinal Healing, and A Course in Miracles. In this conversation, she discusses the practices of listening without judgment or advice-giving, "letting go," forgiveness, returning to coherence, and facing illness, loss, anxiety, and death with an open heart.Geralyn Russell is the founder of The Sense8 Studio, an Attitudinal Healing Facilitator and Trainer, Certified Somatic Yoga Educator, and Certified Forgiveness Facilitator. She is the co-developer of Path2Green, an award-winning emotional resilience program that has trained more than 3,000 healthcare professionals, medical students, and community members in practices for cultivating resilience and well-being.
