Title: Letting go...

Gender: Female

Location: Cambridge, England

I am here. Started out in the projects of New York, went to college at a venerable institution, did an MBA at another fine university, and then got the corporate job. Travelled a lot. Worked a lot. Had what seemed like the 'perfect life'.

And then, gradually, I stopped sleeping. When I was down to 0-2 hours per night, I took a leave of absence. That didn't fix it. Then I took medicine. That didn't do fix it either. And so I finally woke up (pun intended) to the notion that I wasn't going to put a bandaid on whatever it was that was keeping me from sleeping.

I quit my job. I left my partner (in that - if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem - kind of way). I moved to a house that nurtured me rather than confined me. And I explored - yoga, meditation, swimming, painting, singing.

Gradually, I started sleeping again. I sleep fine now, nearly eveery night. I meditate every morning. I keep good company. I laugh. My work now is to experience my true self - in the midst of all the reality of being human. A life coach I work with told me to think of myself as a spirit having a human experience. I like that view. So I do.
