The number one reason you're not going for your deepest dreams and desires in life—or even giving yourself full permission to want those things—is because you don't know how you’ll make them a reality. Not knowing how then becomes a barrier that stops you from doing, being, or having the things and the life you know you're meant for.

Story
Reverse Meditation is for anyone who wants to bring the challenges of life onto the path of awakening. When things get hard, it’s time to turn your practice on its head—and throw out any assumption that meditation exists to insulate you from the confusion, difficulties, and uncertainty of life. “By putting your meditation into reverse,” Holecek teaches, “you’ll actually find yourself going forward. Step into your pain and you can step up your evolution.”

The vagus nerve is the great communicator between most systems in your body, including the major organs of the brain, digestive system, and heart. With the guidance of your seven chakras, the vagus nerve can be a psychological and spiritual powerhouse for healing. Trauma therapist C. J. Llewelyn shows you how to harness this power to heal your past and clear your body of intense reactions that no longer serve you, allowing you to access the compassionate energy of your inner light.
Publisher's Summary
What if you’re not broken, and never actually were, even if it’s felt that way? What if stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and even chronic pain were never inescapable facts of life or irreversible lifelong diseases? What if you don’t have to talk through it all, or even know where it started to be free of it? And what if there’s a way to retrain your body and mind to produce happiness, peace, and total wellbeing on autopilot?
Well, there is. It took me a lifetime to figure that out. Decades caught in addiction, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Divorced almost twice. Then, a terrifying turnaround. Years spent training, traversing the globe for answers, and testing everything on myself. Now, 100s of workshops, seminars, and classes taught. Thousands of clients given the tools to walk free of their own pain. And, finally, this romping little audiobook adventure, where I weave it all together so that this body-based approach to joy and wellbeing isn’t lost again.
Built for Freedom is a no-holds-barred look at the root of all this suffering and the way I’ve found to leave it behind without having to turn your life into an unpaid career of therapy, recovery, and healing. The stories inside are an invitation to quit the fight and finally enjoy your birthright of freedom. Because you are already built for it.
About Bob: I’m Bob Gardner, a self-confessed expert at lame dad jokes, and also someone who spent decades of life struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and compulsive use of pornography and drugs to help me cope. I started studying this stuff out of desperation to not have to live the rest of my life with the daily mental and emotional struggle to “keep it together.”
As I picked up bits and pieces that worked, I started sharing them with students. That was over a decade ago. That includes everything I've learned from 30 plus years of martial arts and movement training, mindfulness, meditation, functional psychology, healing therapies, and more. It’s a hodgepodge of simple, direct skills that have now helped thousands of people graduate from the endless cycle of pain, drama, and relapse. When I’m not busy helping people find their long-lost freedom from anxiety, past trauma, depression, and addiction, I love spending time with my six awesome kids and my beautiful wife, Jasmine (and yes… that does include an occasional long walk on the beach).

Understanding freedom
This book has lead me to understand myself and how my past is not my future. I understand what is real and what is fantasy. The connection between my body and mind and how I can use them both to move past the repetitive issues that sometimes dominated my roundabout life. I am for the first time happy in silence.
Thank you Bob 🙏🙏🙏
