Coming Home to the Heart
How to release stress restore peace and reconnect to what matters
What if the answer to feeling better isn’t fixing every part of your life—but understanding the one thing shaping all of it?
BEGIN MY LIVING FREE JOURNEY
“I feel better. I feel stronger inside, and my relationships have improved.”
— Laura, Living Free member
“I’m living much more in the present and worrying less about things in the past or future that I have no control over. I definitely have a more positive outlook on everything since I started the course.”
— Anna, Living Free member
Are you ready for something more?
Perhaps your mind rarely switches off. You replay conversations, worry about what might happen, carry responsibility for everyone else or feel trapped in patterns you thought you would have moved beyond by now.
You may have tried positive thinking, self-help, therapy, meditation or coaching. Some of it helped—but when life becomes difficult, you are pulled back into the same stress, fear, self-doubt or overwhelm.
Living Free is not about giving you more techniques to remember or another version of yourself to become.
It is a space to discover something far simpler: how your experience is created from moment to moment—and the peace, clarity and wisdom already within you.
One understanding. Every area of life.
Most approaches divide life into separate problems: anxiety, confidence, relationships, grief, habits, motivation and purpose. Each appears to need a different solution.
But what if they all share the same source?
Living Free is grounded in the Three Principles—Mind, Consciousness and Thought—a simple yet profound understanding of how we experience life.
This is not a formula, belief system or technique. There are no thoughts to monitor, affirmations to repeat or methods to practise perfectly. Through conversation, reflection and insight, you begin to see:
- Why temporary thoughts can feel unquestionably true
- Why clarity returns naturally when the mind settles
- Why you do not need to fix, fight or analyse every thought
- Why peace, resilience and wisdom are innate—not qualities you must earn
The shift is not about trying harder to manage life. It is about looking in a new direction.
What if nothing is missing?
Many of us spend years believing there is something wrong with us. We feel broken, unworthy, not enough or permanently shaped by our past. We search outside ourselves for certainty and fear what the future might hold.
But beneath the noise of the thinking mind, your innate wellbeing remains.
Living Free is a remembering—a coming home to the wisdom of your own heart. Not through effort, and not by becoming someone new, but by rediscovering what has been there all along.
Real change—not just more information
During our first Living Free journey, what moved us most was not how much people could explain about the Principles, but how differently they began to experience their lives.
What previous members say
“It has felt like somebody holding my hand through life. I’ve come out of the 12 weeks with a very different perception.”
— Laura
“I found Max very easy to relate to. Many of the examples and situations he spoke about connected with me and gave me a better understanding.”
— Trish
“Melly has a really good way of making the principle concepts accessible and understandable. The analogies worked really well for me.”
— Viv
“I am able to feel and think more slowly and more easily dismiss things that are not worth worrying about.”
— Helen
“The gentle and honest teachings from Melly and Max, and the subsequent conversations with the group, were what I really enjoyed.”
— Anna
“I've been feeling more relaxed and strong, observing my thoughts and sometimes even being able to say 'stop' to them or switch to another one.”
— Pivi
“I am more aware that thoughts are thoughts and I can control how I respond to them, and not let them control me. I am attempting to bring more of a sense of perspective and calm into all I do.”
— Sophy
Why a mother-and-son team changes the conversation
Living Free is hosted by Melly, 56, and her son Max, 21. Together they bring the same understanding to life through two generations and two very different stages of life.
Melly brings decades of lived experience as a mother, wife, founder, teacher and coach. This Understanding has transformed her own life helping her to overcome unhealthy patterns such as over thinking, self sabotage, broken relationships, lack of confidence and addiction and has impacted her life positively in all areas. Max brings the honesty and immediacy of a young man who has faced profound challenges with his mental wellbeing and discovered a different way of relating to his mind.
You may hear something from Melly that speaks to insecurity, anxiety, or years of responsibility, relationships or losing yourself in caring for others—and hear Max express the same truth in a way that reaches another part of you, your child, partner or family.
Different ages. Different perspectives. The same human truth.
Their relationship also offers something rarely seen in coaching: a living example of what can happen within a family when blame softens, listening deepens and people stop trying to fix one another.
Meet your hosts
Melly Mayes
Melly is the founder of La Pachamama – We Are One and a Three Principles Innate Wellbeing coach. Her work has taken her around the world, supporting hundreds of people through one-to-one, group and corporate coaching, Traditional Tantra Kundalini Yoga, Ayurvedic Yoga Massage and transformational retreats.
For the past four years, she has been deeply immersed in the Three Principles Understanding, which has transformed every area of her own life—from her relationships to her sense of purpose and capacity to live with greater peace, freedom and joy.
Warm, intuitive and deeply human, Melly makes profound ideas feel simple and relevant. Living Free is not simply something she teaches; it is an understanding she lives.
Max Mayes
Max is 21 and has trained as a Three Principles group coach. His perspective is grounded not only in study but in his own lived transformation after experiencing significant challenges with anxiety, depression and his mental wellbeing from a young age.
Through discovering the Principles, Max saw that he was not broken, did not need to be at war with his mind, and did not need to chase peace and clarity.
He brings honesty, compassion and a relatable voice to conversations about anxiety, overthinking, identity and the challenges we all face as human beings.
Stories from the first journey
Anxiety began to lose its power
One participant had carried the emotional weight of the same situation for almost ten years. As her understanding deepened, she became calmer and stopped giving every fearful thought her attention. Her circumstances did not need to change first; her experience began changing from within.
Grief softened into love and presence
One member carrying deep grief after her father’s death began remembering the whole of his life, rather than focusing only on his final moments. Her sleep improved, she worried less about what she could not control and became more present in her relationships.
Relationships moved towards connection
As resentment, fear and old thinking loosened their grip, a family relationship that had felt broken began to transform.
“It’s physically changed my relationship with my sibling. I am a different person with them now. I don’t have as much resentment or anger. It’s not based on fear as much. There’s far more love.”
— Laura
People began responding differently
Members noticed frustrated thinking before reacting, listened more deeply and found more space between a thought and their response. Some habits also began falling away naturally—not through shame or willpower, but because the need for them diminished.
These individual stories are not promises that everyone will experience the same outcome. They show what may become possible when we understand the inside-out nature of our experience.
What you may begin to notice
A quieter mind and less overthinking
More calm, clarity and emotional resilience
Greater trust in your own wisdom
Improved relationships and deeper connection
Less identification with stress, anxiety and self-doubt
More confidence, energy and engagement with life
Freedom from stories and patterns that once felt permanent
More presence, gratitude and enjoyment of ordinary life
Your journey begins the moment you join
12 foundational Journey 1 sessions—available immediately
Begin exploring the original Living Free teachings as soon as you enrol. These recorded conversations introduce the foundations through real questions, insights and lived experiences.
12 fresh Journey 2 live calls
From 16 September, join Melly, Max and the new group for 12 entirely new live coaching conversations. Every group brings different questions and fresh insights, so Journey 2 is not a repeat of Journey 1.
There is no catching up to do
You do not need to finish Journey 1 before joining us live. Listen at your own pace and come exactly where you are. This is an understanding that deepens through listening and living—not a curriculum you can fall behind on.
If you join after the live journey has begun, you will receive the Journey 2 replays already available and can attend all remaining calls.
Why 12 weeks?
This understanding is simple, but there is no end to its depth. You may hear the same idea several times and then suddenly see it with entirely new meaning.
The 12-week format gives you time to live your life, encounter real situations and return to the conversation with what you are noticing. You are not expected to “get it” immediately.
You are invited to listen, reflect and allow insight to unfold at its own pace.
The group is part of the experience. Someone else’s question or story may spark precisely the insight you need to hear.
What’s included
- Immediate access to the complete 12-session Journey 1 library
- 12 new weekly live group-coaching sessions on Zoom
- Guidance from both Melly and Max
- Conversations grounded in the Three Principles
- A safe, supportive and non-judgemental group
- Video streaming for Journey 1 and every Journey 2 replay
- Downloadable audio versions for personal use

Spaces are intentionally limited to protect the warmth, trust and intimacy of the group.
Living Free may be for you if…
- You are exhausted by overthinking and trying to work everything out
- You feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally reactive or stuck
- You have spent years caring for others and lost touch with yourself
- You want better relationships without needing everyone else to change first
- You are navigating grief, change, identity or a new stage of life
- You have done personal-development work but sense there is something deeper
- You want to feel more peaceful, free, alive and guided from within
Whether you are completely new to the Three Principles or returning to this understanding, you are warmly welcome. There is nothing to study and no special language to master. Come exactly as you are.

Your invitation
You do not need to wait until life becomes easier, other people change or your mind finally goes quiet.
Peace is not at the end of a perfect life. It becomes visible when you understand where your experience is coming from—and remember the wisdom that has been within you all along.
You are not broken. You are not behind. Nothing essential is missing.
If you are ready to stop fighting yourself and begin living with more freedom, clarity and connection, we would love to welcome you.
