Mandy’s chest piece.

Follow your heart by Mandy Mulders

That's all there is

Sometimes there's resistance

Some won't understand

But close your eyes and look inward

Your gut feel is real

Not your hunger or your want

But a deep sense of

what you need to do next

Rest quietly there for a bit

In the knowledge that you are loved

And then Walk gently

into the unfolding

In hierdie Afrikaanse artikel verduidelik kliniese sielkundige Rafiq Lockhat hoe BrainWorking® Recursive Therapy werk.
