I am deeply saddened by the great loss of our . The Radiance community is grieving the light, love, passion, and thrill that was Lorin.

Lorin taught me how to feel immense self-acceptance and ecstasy by listening to my instinctive nature. He opened my senses and my world to a wondrous place I did not know was possible through his meditation teachings. Because of him, I have experienced bravery, connection, and natural joys. I thank for introducing me to .radiance.sutras in 2015 and for speaking of him with such awe during a workshop.

Lorin lived with such passion, often saying, “It is a joy and a miracle to be alive.” He was incredibly generous with his time and knowledge, and he hoped to spread these teachings to awaken and enliven all beings. Lorin once said, “It’s a gift to walk through life in communion with your soul. It’s a gift to others, and you don’t even know it.”

With that, I encourage you to welcome all of who you are, today, in this moment, because you are a gift to this world. “Open the closet” to anything holding you back from enthusiastically appreciating and celebrating yourself. And if you need support, it’s here.

We love you, Lorin. It was a true honor and a blessing to know you, and I will carry you with me.

And lastly, follow your passions. Lorin said, “Passion is the life force drawing us onward to here.”

“BE YOUR NATURAL SELF.” – Lorin

We know there are innumeral benefits to diaphragmatic breathing. I've spench much of my professional career learning how to best support adults in healing from stress, anxiety, and panic attacks. Most recently, I dedicated two years to developing this research study.

I’ve recorded a 5-minute diaphragmatic breathing session that individuals can use daily to support the development of a healthy new habit. This study aims to evaluate the digital breathing tool's feasibility and effectiveness in reducing symptoms of anxiety, stress, and panic disorder.

Study:
1) Complete pre-intervention surveys
2) Listen to Jessica’s guided breathing audio for 1–5 minutes per day and check in for 28 days
3) Complete post-intervention surveys
4) Those who complete these steps are eligible to participate in a $100 raffle
