Success Stories

”Relax My whole Body & Mind to have a Great night Sleep! “

“I got Diagnosed with PTSD in Feb./2007 @ Parkwood Hospital & have been working on My Mental Health ever since. I have taken numerous different types of training to Help with PTSD to Help Alleviate Stress, Anxiety & Depression. However, since I have taken the SKY – Breathing Meditation Classes/Course, this course has helped Me a lot to Relax Not only My Body but Also My Mind & Relieve a lot of Stress that I could be feeling on any given day! I use these techniques that I was taught before I go to Bed @ nights & it Helps Me to Decompress & Relax My whole Body & Mind to have a Great night Sleep! I highly Recommend this course, at first You might think it’s WEIRD but give it a chance & really APPLY YOURSELF & YOU WILL REAP the BENEFITS… Good Luck, Stay Healthy & Take Good Care!”

"opening a door in the mind that had been tightly shut.."

I found the Power Breath workshop to do what it sets out to do and more! It was very very powerful emotionally, opening a door in the mind that had been tightly shut. I think everyone should learn about this practice no matter where you are personally or in the Veteran system. Leslye and Mark, were also just at the end of an email if you needed further help ( luckily I didn’t!)

The actual Power Breath (SKY Breath Meditation) is something. I use it 3-4 times a week after building up to it and incorporate it into my own meditations and routines. It’s given me the skills and confidence to attend a Veterans Parade ( which I would always try to avoid) and also get back out to nature hiking and even bringing my dog.

Every veteran I meet I love to talk about it and what they are missing out on, especially the skeptical ones!
