Lynda Hope became Self Actualized beyond her personal identity through a series of life changing experiences. The first powerful insight was when Hope had panic attacks as a child when she questioned her mortality. Her heart beat out of her chest and her body became hot and flushed just thinking of dying. This went on for years until one night, hope said to herself, “ I will find the answer to death and dying before I die.” That thought alone, dissolved the panic attacks and she discovered how powerful thoughts can be, hence, what you believe, you conceive.
