It was 2018, the year after a nervous breakdown that left me rocking with anxiety, unable to soothe my nervous system for weeks on end.

I'd just returned from my second transformative Ayahuasca retreat, deep in the Peruvian Amazon, and I was in a raw, tender, porous stage of healing. Meditation had become an anchor, helping me navigate one of the most difficult seasons of my life with a little more ease and grace.

Then, one afternoon over coffee, someone handed me a book.

I opened it to Gene Key 32.

I read the first paragraph.

I was so shocked at the depth of my recognition of the Truth written there, that my legs went out underneath me and I sank gratefully into an armchair.

I realised I'd been handed something I'd been looking for my whole life.

Not another spiritual teaching.

A language for understanding human consciousness that I could feel in every cell of my body.

That moment changed the course of my life.
