But over time I seemed to have acquired skills that I wasn\u2019t previously aware of. For example, the ability to remain calm and centered in challenging situations, and greater perspective allowing me to see the many angles of an obstacle to be dealt with. The development of these skills and more is definitely due to my regular practice of TM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:calc( 0.25 * var(--wp--style--root--padding-right, var(--wp--custom--gap--horizontal)))\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, Rachel moved to Switzerland in 2008 to study Music Pedagogy and has been based in Lucerne ever since.
