A+How to Succeed

You will be wearing several hats during the Core Training:

HAT #1. Trusting the process will carry you through the awkward and uncomfortable parts.

HAT # 2. "I am a beginner at this; and open to receive the internal growth and experience in the process".   (hint:  During the first 4 weeks 'the mind of a beginner' is suggested for optimum results.  The "I-know-this" mind will inhibit your growth and experience.)  You will be deepening and opening up new neuro-pathways (neuro plasticity) for 'release of energy'. Give yourself the gift of this class.

HAT #3.  Be authentic, be real, and welcoming of the new.  There is always something to be gained in every interaction.  Try and suspend the 'judgement'.

MODULES 1 THROUGH 4.

The first four sessions are designed to work with the inner dialoguing and inner listening skill building.  It is growing your spacial capacity and deepening your own authenticity.  This is what is needed to learn a new skill.  Linear logic is a 'time management tool."  (hint:  It is suggested that you allow your linear mind to relax and calm by setting the time aside with no interruptions.  And allow the spacial and creative capacity of mind to open.

PLEASE READ -- PLEASE NOTE:  I have intentionally not given you the entire outline of the course during the first three weeks.  Yes, there is an outline.  Yes, there is a week by week progression and a week by week adding onto the skills from the previous week.  It builds similar to practicing a language and/or a musical instrument.  

Allowing for the practice time is a key ingredient for success.  

Making a commitment to change a habit and learn a new skill takes a focus — allow the time to build new skills.  Each of the elements of discovery will eventually be applied and formed into the Draft of your own Life by Design plan. Yes, it will come together; and you will look back to see the process unfold.   Your intentions about what you want to create added to your deeper authentic visions.

However, sometimes while you are in the process, it feels uncomfortable -- this is referred to as The Gap --  you may be feeling the release and the awkwardness of trying something new and at the same time being asked to grow; and at the same time letting go of the old.  Clinging to the old can cause resistance and slow the growing.  This is the opportunity!  Just give the creative side of you an opportunity to experience the inner work as if you are in beginner's mind.   

This state is present through Module 4.   For some of you, this inner work may have been done before; and yet, not like this or not at this time -- refreshed information may be coming to you.  Previous trainees mention that the new depth of core work 'changed their lives,' or 're-energized my personal journey'.  Many experienced at one or some of these skills say that the clarity that has come from this course really jump-started their work in a new way, defined their niche, and added so much value to their current skill base.  For others who are beginning your journey  you will be able to go deeper so that you can learn to hold the vision for your new life ahead.  And,  for others still, you are collecting more tools for your breadth and depth.  And for some of you, this material and experience may be brand new; and an opportunity to trust the process may be what is your highest option. And,  you may experience all of the above.

In closing:  I can assure you that you are in the right place, and right time for taking this next step. Give yourself this precious gift -- time to deepen in your own practice.  You may want to keep a journal alongside of the class work -- And any questions, insights, dreams  you may have, write them down.  

In Modules 2 and 3,  you will have the opportunity to remove obstacles, emotional blocks, and limiting thoughts -- and some of these questions get answered in the process.  I may delay answering all of your questions at the beginning, yet, all will get answered eventually.  Write them down so you can see that they do get answered by the completion of the class.   

If and when emotional states arise, just breathe into them and allow the 'energies to release.'  You may be going deeper than you have before. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is helpful if you know it.   We will be covering a brief 'Bilateral Tapping' technique in Module 5.  And most of you have your own ways to allow for these releases.  In Module 2, you will be learning a new way to dissolve emotional states, or discomfort in the physical body, followed by the opportunity to re-frame, re-choose, take action, and transform.
