Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I’ll be your host.    In case we haven’t met yet, I am a certified Recovery Coach and Hypnotist. I am obsessed with all things recovery, including neuroscience, reprogramming the subconscious mind, law of attraction, all forms of personal growth and spirituality. I have been practicing abstinence from drugs and alcohol since 4/23/94, and I believe in people finding what works for them. I honor all forms of recovery, but I do not indulge in, or encourage any form of shame based recovery.   I help women heal their past and create a life they love through coaching and hypnosis. If you would like to find out if we are a good fit for coaching, please visit soberlifeschool.com and you can book a free strategy call.   Today, Matt Kelly joins us for an encore interview. He has been clean and sober for 38 years and today we are talking about his course available on Insight Timer called: Cultivate Mystical Experience in Passage Meditation. It’s a 7 day course that will teach you how you can have spiritual experiences that can lead to peace, joy, and freedom.    It’s just not enough to hear about other people’s experience. While it can be inspiring and give home, we need evidence - and having your own experiences provides evidence that change really is possible.   Matt has been a mentor and a friend to me, and while this turned into a little bit of a therapy session for me, he shares so much wisdom and compassion, that I’m really honored to share this episode with you.   So there ya have it, please enjoy this conversation with Matt.
