I am Vichin Laciani, founder of Mind Valley, the School for Human Transformation.

You're listening to the Mind Valley podcast where we'll be bringing you the greatest teachers and

thought leaders on the planet to discuss the world's most powerful ideas and personal growth for mind, body, spirit,

and work.

Welcome back everyone to the Mind Valley Podcast.

Our guest today is Teal Swan. She was ranked number 19 on the Watkins

most spiritually influential living people in 2019. She's an author, a speaker, sort of

a social media star.

And what makes it really unique is that Teal was born with a range of

extra sensory abilities, including clavoyans, clercentians, Cler Audience.

She's the author of five books, creator of over 150 frequency paintings,

and the famous Azteel YouTube YouTube series which has gained around 73 million views to date.

She is the founder of a social movement call the principle of authenticity.

And she is the author of two books,

the completion process and the anatomy of loneliness.

Now, it is the latter book released in 2018, The Anatomy of Loneliness, and ideas from this book that we're going to be discussing today on the Mind Valley podcast.

I've been there, I've been in that situation.
