Emily Fletcher interviews Oliver Lehne about his journey from anxiety to self-trust through meditation and embodied manifesting.

Twelve years of practice, and one of the worst nights of his life, met in the same body.

Oliver came to meditation, by his own admission, to impress people. He arrived anxious, low on self-esteem, and constantly deferring to everyone else's opinion. What's emerged since is a man who trusts himself enough to create from that trust, including a play that landed a London producer within days of one conversation. Oliver and Emily trace his path from meditation into embodied manifesting, and he shares the exact phrase that came through in his first real pleasure prayer, one he still writes in his journal every morning. He also opens up about the night his husband had a brain injury on Christmas Eve, and how the steadiness he'd built over a decade of practice carried him through it.
