Hello! I'm Melissa Field and I'd love to tell you a little about myself and this website.
My own journey into meditation began as a means to manage lifelong anxiety and depression. Mental illness is something that runs in my family, and I often struggled with a sense of feeling different than those around me. As a child dealing with overwhelming feelings, I didn't know what was wrong or why it was happening. It seemed these frustrating feelings were so intertwined with my sense of self that I would never know inner peace.
It was in my 20's that it became clear my depression and anxiety were signs of something deeper. I was struggling with Bipolar 2, and although I began therapy then, it would not be diagnosed until I was in my 30's. Despite this, therapy was a great help, but I realized for me personally, I needed my healing to include aspects of spirituality. I knew that feeling connected to something bigger, what I sometimes call God or the Universe, greatly helped to reduce my anxiety and depression. (side note: I still continue with therapy as I believe healing is a complex thing that doesn't have one true solution).
As I searched for different answers in mysticism, Buddhism, mindfulness, and energy healing I became inspired to create my own meditations and workbooks. Along with the spiritual influences that had helped me, I wanted to include aspects of modern psychology, particularly the science of the neuroplasticity of the mind. I am awed and fascinated by the brain's ability to change depending on the thoughts we repeatedly think.
As I created my meditations and packages, I kept in mind that people often turn to spirituality in a time of need. I wanted to ensure someone could experience my work without spending a large amount of money they needed for something else. I set my prices at a place I felt was accessible to as many people as possible.
I sincerely hope something here assists you in your journey as well. Thank you so much for spending some of your day with me!
