Everything you have ever felt or experienced has left an imprint on your nervous system at a cellular level, and this can have a negative effect on not just your business, but also your ability for original thought and leadership. Clearing blocks that are holding you back from being your best can change your perceiving and thinking and create quantum shifts.
