Donna's Testimonial

In one word?

Transformative

How would you describe your experience with Meridian Flexibility?

From the start, I knew immediately that something different was happening in my body. And as I got more into it – it just became so clear. Over the years I’ve tried so many programs, and they all have an element of “I have to, I have to do this.” For the first time, with this stretching, it became something that I truly wanted to do.

So I took 10 of the 16 stretches that I do twice a day, everyday and I have my own little flow in that. It’s the way I begin my morning and end my evening, and I can do it in less than 10 minutes.

Right around the time when I started stretching, I got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. And I didn’t really know what that was; except that I knew that I always ached. I thought everybody always ached.

The combination of the stretching and seriously minimizing refined sugar has been the trick for me. I don’t know if it would work for everyone with Fibromyalgia – but it’s really done the trick for me.

I can go up to 36 hours without stretching before something doesn’t start to feel right.

I’ve had individual sessions with Anne and Steve about once a month on average, and that’s been crucial to keeping me on track. If you’re self-motivated, it’s a perfect combination because if you slip a little in your personal practice, you have a session with them and it puts you right back on track.

I now feel so integrated into my body. I didn’t know people had bodies – I’d meet people and connect to their energy first, their voice or smile. And now I’ve been able to connect to other people’s bodies.

I’d say it’s transformative, centering, integrating and it’s all about creating a balance.

I find that as I delve more into addressing the physical realm – that the emotional, spiritual and intellectual in fact are becoming more highly attuned. There’s a heightened awareness.

This is the lynch pin for me. It keeps me from spinning off into god knows where, where I can’t come back.

What has been your favorite aspect?

That I can count on it – and if I can count on it then I can count on myself.

I have really felt my strength in a way I never have before.

The kind of physical confidence I’ve come to know is amazing.

In the past I could count on my intellect coming through for me, I could count on my emotion, or my spiritual nature – but I could not count on my body coming through. Now I can count on it. It’s not exactly where it needs to be – but it’s ok! I love the journey!

What other activities have you done?

Marching band, walking, I’ve always had a health club membership, aerobics classes, running, competed in ballroom dance.

Can you speak to the emotional aspects of this method?

The healing way is truly in the work that you do in the private sessions with Anne and Steve. The release that comes with the resistance – the first time it happened (crying), it scared the hell out of Anne, and then she started crying. And then we did a group hug.

Can you describe Anne and Steve?

They have a wonderful humor – they make it a lot of fun and create a lot of laughter.

They’re ready to transcend to the next level.

They are so open to what people have to say. They will listen to you.
