Claudia Velandia is inspired to inspire people to connect and align with their essence so they can experience life fully, without limitations, and together contribute to the well-being of the world.

In 2010, she found herself hitting rock bottom. She was living in the motions of living. She didn't like what she was doing with her life and where it was heading. She felt without purpose and meaning. She was looking to escape from her mind and her emotions; she wanted to run away from her life. Her outlets were working, partying and dating. Those behaviours were her way of self-medicating, and they became increasingly self-destructive. But all they did was deepening her suffering.

She recalls asking herself many times, "Is this what life is about? What am I doing here? And more importantly, what am I doing with my life?"

To dig herself out from what she was experiencing, she started working on herself and looking within. She chose to start living a healthy lifestyle, taking care of her body, her mind, her heart and her soul. She opened the connection with her spiritual path. She began to make changes and not allowing herself to get in the way of living her best life.

Now that she is on "the other side," she can recognize how all of it was created in her mind. She was living as if on autopilot. She also began to observe that individuals are suffering because they are living so much in their minds without even being aware of it. They are also limiting their potential and negatively affecting their well-being as they continue living from a conditioned perspective. In essence, they are in the box, thinking that this is all there is to life.

Her reflections and transformation inspired her to go back to school and become a Certified Conscious Leadership Coach and the founder of Quantum Thinking. It also inspired her to write this book so that people can raise their consciousness and live their best lives.

Claudia was born in Colombia. She immigrated to Spain to study her masters, and now she lives in Canada. She obtained an undergrad degree in Engineering and a graduate degree in Marketing and an MBA and worked in the corporate world for many years in Colombia, Spain and Canada.
