I'm a social scientist and long-time meditator. I have a PhD from a highly ranked US university. W. Poff is a pen name. The degree is real but, following a practice of many writers, the name is not.

As an early adult, I endured a string of traumas that left me barely able to stand, and I realized that the traditional pathway of therapy would not be an option for what I needed to process. So for three decades, I've been wandering through all of the existing healing modalities I could find, searching for something that would help me actually heal. I found a lot of good stuff in some ancient practices which moved the needle a tiny bit for me, but a tiny bit was much better than nothing. Healing was coming, slowly but surely.

In the mean time, I attempted to leverage my extensive education into some business endeavors. Here, I noticed that something was off. People were not responding to me in a normal way, like they responded to others. It was like I was invisible or worse, had a "do not buy from me" sign on my chest that only everyone else could see. Despite doing everything right and working like crazy to make things work, I could not gain an inch of traction in any business endeavor. I had no idea what was wrong, but I knew something was. It wasn't okay that I wasn't able to leverage my elite education and excellent work into a lucrative career for myself. Not acceptable.

So, I expanded my search for answers and looked into the manifestation space. I took a few classes -- at a few thousand dollars a pop which I did not have extra -- and nothing happened for me, still! But, I began to learn more about energy and the mind, energetic frequencies of money and emotion, the subconscious and how to talk to it, and fine-tuning everything to get what you want. I did this for a few years. And even though I didn't get results as the classes promised, I was becoming aware that I had some deeply buried traumas related to money and success. And through the work of the classes I'd taken, I was beginning to understand what they were.

Great. Then what? Deeply seeded traumas, but no way to get rid of them?

Oh, hell no!

There was no stinking way that I was going to allow something that may have happened a zillion years ago to block my success and progress now, today, after all of the hard work I've done in my life to try to get ahead. No! I also reasoned that we humans have everything we need for full healing and success here on earth; we just have to identify it and figure out how it works. There MUST be a way to eliminate ancient emotional debris. There had to be some mechanism. I knew that hypnosis opened a door to the subconscious, so decided to do some finagling around in there. I was going to to find these answers.

I would also mention that I'd been living in the middle of nowhere, under a rock, on a tropical beach for a decade and a half by this time. I'd been doing deep healing for all of that time so was already pretty cleared out by this point. So, I could see what was in the way quite clearly.

I was on a mission to get rid of that old gunky energy that was seriously dragging me down. So one day, frustrated that I wasn't getting anywhere and convinced there had had to be a mechanism to dump the gunk, I smoked a big fat joint before I set into a meditative healing space, and decided to just throw together everything I had ever learned about manifestation, energy, healing, the subconscious -- all of it, all at once. I was nervous. Thought maybe I might explode or something. But instead, when I came out of that hypnosis session, I knew I had discovered something. It took me a few days to understand what I had found -- I was still focused on the money thing, remember? But then I realized how much what I had just experienced needed to be shared. How much it could help people. Everyone! So that's how Instant Inner Peace was born.

Still focusing on the money situation, I did a lot more work in that area and discovered a ton of extremely interesting and useful information. That work is offered through Open Your Money Channels.
