It’s hard to even put into words, how transformational attending the 2021 Biohacking Conference was for me. I met so many people that are into health and wellness, interested in digging deeper into themselves and into life. People that have found or are looking for a deeper purpose in life.
There were so many cool devices to try from the Hapbee device that I’m wearing right now and can’t wait to share more about with you guys. To the hyperbaric oxygen chambers, Cryotherapy, red light therapy, kava; I could go on and on. But what was even better than all these products and devices was the love and connection that went on with people I met.
Spiritual and Physical Wellbeing
I had heard a podcast months before going to the event with Luke Storey, one of my all-time favorite podcasters (that I got to meet at the conference) and Kat Graham. Kat Graham is one of the creators of modern Nirvana, along with Frank Elaridi and Ikar Wood. Modern Nirvana helps transform lives by inspiring us to take control of our spiritual and physical wellbeing. They share a combination of ancient practices and modern day biohacks. I knew that Frank and Ikar were going to be at the Biohacking conference, teaching classes. I was really looking forward to meeting them.
Breathwork
The very first morning I took Ikar’s breathwork class. This was my first experience with breathwork, where we were focusing on mouth breathing. I was completely blown away by how powerful breathing in and out of your mouth could be when using it with movement and intention. So many emotions would come up from love and joy to heaviness and sadness. Ikar did such a fantastic job of creating a space filled with love, connection, and safety. He gave us a safe space to really feel our emotions. He told us it was safe to release our emotions; it was safe to cry. I took his class all three mornings of the conference. On the third day I let go. I felt emotional the first two classes, but I couldn’t allow myself to cry in a room full of people. On the third day I let go. Let go of the judgments, I had for myself. Let go of my insecurities. Let go of the fear. It was a beautiful experience. In part of Ikars class, we stood facing someone we didn’t know. We held eye contact for an entire song. Talked about what it was like to really see someone. Such a deep, meaningful, powerful class.
Emotional Healing Journey
The other Nirvana co-creator that was at the conference was Frank Elaridi. Frank is a talented, emotional code practitioner that helps you release negative emotions that are trapped in your body. I am so grateful that I was able to have a one-on-one healing session with Frank. We were able to clear some deep emotions that were holding me back. Including some emotions that were tied to me starting this blog and getting my social media accounts back after a 4-year hiatus. Just really putting myself out there again. I had to let go of the fear and the judgments, and really believe in myself.
Frank had mentioned that removing creative fears and blocks was something he has helped clients with. In fact, he gave me an example of a client that had a YouTube channel and after their healing session, her next video she posted had gotten way more views than her previous videos. I thought that sounded amazing. But never considered that was possible for me. Well, it is possible. Everything is possible. The universe showed me that. The next Instagram reel I posted after our session got 22.5 K views. I had less than 200 followers that day. I took that as a beautiful sign that I am on the right path.
I can’t recommend Frank enough and it’s not because I got 22.5 K views on a reel; it’s because not only did he help me heal some of the fear and anxiety, he also helped me heal some deeper trauma that I experienced when I was younger. I wasn’t expecting it to come up during our session and it did.
Deep Healing Experience
So much deep healing happened at this conference. It was life changing.
I was able to get to know Ikar and Frank a little bit over the weekend. What they represent to me is love, light, connection and oneness. They truly want to make the world a better place.
I know this post isn’t about the cool biohacking gadgets, which will come. This post is about what it’s like to be truly inspired by others. Thank you for reading. Sending you lots of love and healing.
