He shares with us that he hasn&#8217;t learned these beliefs by reading books, but through meditation and many times through severe panic attacks. The emotions Adam experiences have progressively been teaching him that his panic attacks can be viewed as an opportunity to release his fears versus resisting them. Even though his mother\u2019s passing is a great loss, Adam has created a foundation from which he has, &#8216;faith that it is always unfolding as it should and that she&#8217;s where she needs to be. We are all right where we should be.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last few weeks we have been spending a lot of time getting to know the community at SoulFood Books.
