Luminous Restoration Protocol Lila’s Playground: Restoring Vitality Through Evolutionary Intelligence THREE APPRECIATIVE QUESTIONS Start: "Where in your life have you felt the most vital?" Middle (searing): "What obstacles are you unknowingly creating by resisting the play of Lila?" End: "How can you align your actions with the rhythm of evolutionary intelligence this week?"
