What is the significance of Sedona, Arizona?
Something very snake-like lifted its head out of the water.
Hosted by me, your guide, Derek Hayes. Somehow I lost eight whole hours. Listen now on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
So I just end up right back where I started, you know, on that hill and our meditation's ending and we walk down and I just sit on a rock and I can't talk. I just have the biggest smile on my face to the point where all my crew members are, you know, all back in work mode are like commenting on it. Like, oh, you had a good time. Like you must've had a really good meditation.
They all just seemed like they'd had a nice little break from work, and they were just going right back to it. Getting ready to go to the next location, figuring out logistics, resetting gear, packing up, just hustle and bustle of normal set life. I'm not a very expressive person, and it felt like I could not physically stop smiling. I felt like this massive weight
