I have a confession. While it seems glaring obvious now, it took me over forty years to realise that much of my discontent and unhappiness in life was due to acting out of habit, boredom, fear and guilt. It was only when I began ‘practising emotional selectivity’ and my life became more pleasurable and joyous that I truly understood the... Read More >

Taking command of your thoughts is the next step when it comes to mastering inner work. I’ve found this approach to be powerful antidote for a mind that is in the habit of spiralling into negative self-talk. Much more so than methods tailored to quieten the mind. As mentioned in my previous post, meditation only amplified the chaos occurring between my... Read More >

A mind without relentless mental chatter is a relatively new experience for me. The silence and spaciousness I now enjoy is a welcome relief. I could never go back to the level of busyness and noise that was ‘normal’ for me. So how did I do it? How did I overcome a mind that foresaw every possible worst-case scenario, regardless of...

How many times have you heard ‘inner work’ bantered around by personal development and spiritual teachers? It’s touted to be the holy grail when it comes to overcoming trauma, achieving your goals and reaching your full potential. The frustrating part is that ‘a clear definition’ and ‘how to apply it’ is rarely discussed in detail. I spent almost two decades exploring the teachings... Read More >

Clearly, manifesting your ultimate life is not all about mental rehearsal. It is going to require action, and a specific type of action. It’s about making sure your subconscious programming aligns with what you consciously wish to create, rather than forcing things to happen. As mentioned earlier, it is your subconscious mind that does your bidding. Your job is to take... Read More >

Well-known examples include Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Kinesiology, Theta Healing and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). In Activity 7, you will be introduced to PSYCH-K®, a... Read More >

We constantly live in a state of emotional flux because every thought and experience, whether negative or positive, produces a corresponding emotion. Therefore, if we are weighed down by emotional baggage from past traumas it’s no wonder we recycle situations that reinforce our fears, shame, anger, worry, concern, hatred, guilt, despair and depression. On the other hand, we’ve all experienced... Read More >

Everything starts with intention. Every human creation or invention is preceded by an idea, a mental picture or a fully formed vision. In other words, you need a clear mental image of what you want to create for it to take form. Elite athletes, high achievers, visionary leaders, entrepreneurs and even celebrities have been consciously creating their future for decades. Olympic... Read More >

Now available in digital format! IMAGINEERing YOUR ULTIMATE FUTURE is my favourite of the self-empowerment process because it's mostly all about dreaming and dreaming big! You get to say what goes. There’s no more living in 50 shades of beige – I’ve got nothing against the colour, sometimes it’s rather calming, but it doesn’t 'spark joy' as Marie Kondo would say. By... Read More >
