It does...but it takes work to keep it open. If you really make healthy, positive changes in your life then probably. I have lost a lot of the conviction that I felt after my experience- it's been two years. Next time I try it I want to be healthier and be practicing meditation. I haven't gotten around to it yet...

If you really want to do extractions make sure to read all the teks and all the variations. Some involve dangerous chemicals.

I still know in my heart that love is at the center of all life, it just takes work really putting love, meditation and compassion into practice..I am undisciplined lol.
