I had lost faith in myself and didn’t know who to turn to

I Was in a Crisis

Three years ago, my husband was struggling with insomnia, anxiety, and depression and he was spiraling down fast.

I knew I had to do something else because my holistic methods and his medical doctors weren’t helping us. One morning, I was worried that Chris was going to go off the deep end and do something crazy.

That Friday morning, Chris was at work and I was on my morning walk with our dogs. Completely overwhelmed and afraid, I kept telling myself “I can’t do this! I don’t know what to do!”

My breathing was shallow, my mind was racing – I had no idea who to turn to or how to help my husband.

Help Arrived From an Unexpected Source

Suddenly, Naamfon the Asian elephant was inside my head, telling me to breathe. Her wisdom was in me- I was breathing in “calm,” breathing out “faith.” Over and over again, I repeated this mantra as my breathing naturally slowed down. I felt her strong presence with me and heard her voice reminding me of the wisdom she had shared with me months earlier in the Animal Wisdom Circle.

I credit Naamfon (and my BFF Erika) with getting me through this family crisis. They kept me sane and grounded and positive. So I could take care of Chris and our two kids.

Naamfon the Asian Elephant Shares Her Wisdom

In my blog today, I share Naamfon’s wisdom and the words that literally saved my husband’s life and kept my family together. I am grateful to Naamfon (and Erika) every day that I get to enjoy my family now.

I hope Naamfon’s wisdom helps you through any rough patch you might face, too.
