What happens when you start to view the world through your heart?

​
Opening up to more of your true potential. Instead of looking outside for what we need, heart-based meditation brings us strength from within. Moving back to our true nature and awakening the warmth that has always been there. Developing a strong intuitive trust and ability to perceive at a deeper level of insight.

This course will allow you to develop an in-depth understanding of transformational insight practices, healing visualisations and heart based meditation for your own development and/or to guide others.

Step 1 is everything you need to understand pre-transformation, in terms of the belief systems that allow transformation to occur rapidly.

Once you understand this, just by showing up with these installed in your thinking, then transformation occurs just in the way you are.

Step 2 is how to break a belief that structures the problem so that the pattern stops.

Now obviously a clean structure is in section two of exactly how to do a coaching session so that you get results.

Step 3, is retraining the behaviour so that the problem doesn't occur again.

In there are all the coaching tools, every tool you need so that you can feel confident that you can get someone a result over a one-to-one session at a high premium rate.

Step 4 is how to condition and hold your client accountable so that they get results and empowering behaviours.
