Today, Sam speaks with his friend Maya Barak.
Maya is a mom, Biometric Hand Analysis professional, attachment parenting advocate, and certified massage therapist focused on somato-emotional healing, implementing attachment bodywork.
Homeschooling her two kids during COVID | Putting her business plans on hold to take care of her family | Surrendering to “what is” | Receiving a Hand Analysis session changed her life | Finding out that our genetic “gifts” can be seen in the hands | "It is a proven tool for self-improvement as it uncovers early experiences and learned behaviors that make life a frustrating struggle." | "The Biometric Hand Analysis helped me realize why I was acting, reacting, avoiding, and doing things a certain way. It helped me understand the "why" behind the "what." | Turning to Attachment Bodywork after hand analysis to deepen her healing and understanding | "Where it hurts most is where we need to work" | Discovering what she wanted through self-intimacy, | Finding her calling to help others in the process of her own journey| Making space for the entirety of our emotions | Showing children that we have a rainbow of emotions | Giving ourselves and others permission to feel hurt, angry, and be overwhelmed at times | Breaking the chain of avoiding "negative" emotions | Teaching children to ask questions | "I want my kids to know that everyone is equal and to see them through their heart" | "Be curious, to ask, and to question, dig deep, surround ourselves by people who love you and support us."
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience, Maya!
