How To Let Go Of Your Past | David Bentley | TEDxLeamingtonSpa

True freedom begins when you stop looking externally and start looking internally. David was born with a physical disability and faced a childhood of adversity growing up. He used that adversity to create success in each area of his life, only to have his world crash down. It wasn't until he learnt how to connect with his body that David was able to find flow, fulfillment and joy. He now works as an embodiment coach helping his clients turn their adversity into freedom and success. http://www.david-bentley.co.uk David was born with a heamplegia – brain damage that meant he didn’t know he had a right arm or leg. As he grew up, through conscious awareness and exercises, he learnt how to use his right side. But his physical disability meant he was in and out of hospital, physical therapy and osteotherapy, plus he needed an operation to straighten his foot out. Physical and emotional bullying at school created a lot of internal trauma, so David used goals like global travelling, setting up online businesses and performing on stage as a beatboxer to distract himself from the pain trapped within. Only after he learnt to connect with himself and let go of the traumas could he move forward in a powerful way. Now working as a life empowerment and business coach, David helps his clients break through their biggest challenges to start doing what they’re passionate about, while living a life they love. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
