The Liberated You, A Mindfulness Organization

Who We Are

A hard conversation. A moment of pressure. Emotions rise. Clarity drops.

You speak too quickly. Or stay silent when truth wanted to be said. Or walk away thinking, “That’s not who I meant to be in that moment.”

This is not weakness. This is being human under stress. Most of life is not shaped by the moment itself, but by how we meet it.

The Liberated You is an invitation to pause. To notice. To become aware of what is happening within before it becomes action. And in that small pause, something powerful returns — clarity, steadiness, choice.

Words become more intentional. Decisions more grounded. Relationships more conscious. Less reacting. More awareness. More wise action.

This is inner freedom — not avoiding life challenge, but awakening within it.

Mindfulness Meets Quantum Physics

In the grand expanse of existence, our inner world mirrors an infinite universe, with galaxies of thoughts, constellations of feelings, and dark matter of the subconscious all shaping the narrative of our very own personal reality. The practice of mindfulness, informed by the principles of quantum mechanics, serves as a bridge between the metaphysical realm…

Christie taught me that healing work is about much more than just focusing on the physical body. It is about healing the soul, reconnecting with one's true self, and finding peace and inner freedom amidst life's storms. Christie showed me the power of self-love, compassion, and forgiveness, and the incredible strength that comes from facing our fears and choosing to let go of what no longer serves us.
