FREE WORKSHOP: MAY 6TH @9:00am or @19:30 ONLINE

Hi Everyone,

I would like to invite you to a workshop this coming Monday which is based in the Positive Intelligence movement. I found the concepts and program to be very informative and incredibly useful. My son at 22 did the program and he loved it and still uses the concepts today. My husband also did the program and learned a few things about himself and also made some changes.

If you have not had the pleasure of attending one of these workshops, or joining a program, this is your opportunity.

We all know that being a parent or a working parent can have it’s challenges. Keeping our home life and work life stress to a minimum is often the key to success. Your ability to manage stress and the every changing landscape of parenting is impacted by your level of mental fitness, or positive intelligence.

Positive Intelligence (PQ) is all about having a deep sense of self and the ability to shift our of sabotaging behaviours and into Sage mode thinking. This builds an empowered mindset. The stronger your level of PQ, the easier it is for you to use your positive and empowering attributes to help you as an individual, and in all of your relationships.

In this 90-minute workshop we will:

- Discover what PQ is all about
- Acknowledge the shortcomings of our top two saboteurs
- Explore how our sabotuers show up and why they show up
- Learn a few quick techniques to help us intercept our most powerful saboteurs

Following the workshop you are eligible to participate in an 8 week program (at a discount) to learn how to increase your PQ levels and growth mindset through regular daily practice, group coaching and one-to-one coaching.

I look forward to taming Sabotuers and accessing the SAGE within with some you on May 6th!

A good message for everyone! “If you are not appreciated, don’t be angry, you are just in the wrong place”.

If you can’t find the right place on your own, be courageous and ask for help💕

A father said to his daughter 🤠 "You just graduated, this is a car I bought a while ago... It is a few years old. But before I give it, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it, see how much they offer.”

The girl came back to her father and said: "They offered 1000 euros because it looks very old"
The father said: Hold it and take it to the 2nd hand car dealer.

The girl returns to her father and says: "The pawn shop offered 100 euros because it is a very old car and lots of investments are needed to drive it again"

A father asked his daughter to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car. The girl drove the car to the passionate car club, turned, and said to her father: “Some people in the club offered me 100,000 euros because it is a rare car that is in good condition, with great capabilities, and super difficult to find.”🤗

Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place." If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. "Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value 😉."

ONLINE WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS

Are you feeling like your communications with your teen are just not like they used to be?

Do you find yourself worrying about your child's happiness?

Would you like your children to be more independent, responsible?

Noticing some of your unflattering characteristic traits showing up in your children?

As parents - WHAT WE DO is more IMPORTANT than what WE SAY. It is not easy to get it right as a parent. Is there such a thing? Perhaps not. There is however self awareness and with this we can step out of our usual response that likely includes a form of judgement or is driven by one of our own sabotaging behaviours that we feel keep us and our children safe.

Sage Parenting included turning challenges and failures into gifts, releasing judgement of the self, others and circumstances, having the ability to intercept our saboteur responses and use the five sage powers in its place.

This is POWERFUL!

Not only does it improve your parent-child relationships, it improves all of your relationships. And it is a gift that you are giving your child as they move into adulthood. They too can become familiar with the Sage within themselves.

Join my for the ONLINE Workshop and become more Sage!
Jan.8 @ 19:15 (Zurich)
Jan.10 @ 9:00 (Zurich)

All participants are to take a free saboteur assessment prior to the workshop.
This is an interactive workshop, you will be doing work with other participants.
Workshop is 90 minutes with a small fee of 20chf.
You will be introduced to a few techniques designed to help you intercept your main saboteur.

Our mind is powerful and the subconscious mind wants us to be safe. The state of the world today has slowly been chipping away at our ability to be optimistic about the near and far future. We find ourselves living with a low resonating hum of uncertainty, for our health, our freedom to choose, and our livelihoods.

To counterbalance the subconscious mind we need to be resilient!

Optimism is one of the main drivers of Perseverance and Perseverance is one of the main domains of Resilience. Optimism give us hope and a positive outlook for the future.

In this 90-minute workshop participants will discover how optimism impacts our overall health, and they will learn techniques to strengthen their capacity to balance their nervous system to improve both mood, performance and their general outlook when experiencing challenges.

Consciousness training is a tall order! It is tranformative if you let it be. We need to quiet the rational mind to become aware and experience all the possibilities.

The Sophrology Method is a pathway to increased consciousness.

I have teamed up with the The Sophrology Academy, a centre of excellence for sophrology in the UK to offer The Fundamentals of Sophrology course beginning in January 2024.

In this course we will move through and experience the first two levels of the sophrology method and be introduced to levels 3 and 4.

We have a certification option for practitioners that want to integrate a somatic practice into their work, and for those working with children and teenagers.

We have a second option for adults that want to increase their level of happiness and optimism through consciousness training. The current climate is not as upbeat as our pre-covid days.

Sophrology as a practice and method really helps me stay centered in what I can and cannot control.

Learning techniques to improve our response to life builds resilience and enables us to have a bigger impact where we choose to do so.

Consciousness training. What is it and why would I care?

It is about becoming aware of the self outside of the self.
Discovering what you know and don't know.
Feeling your presence, at times as the observer of the self.
Going deep within to access your inner resources.
Opening yourself to experience new abilities.
Connecting with your higher self.

The 3rd principle of Sophrology is Existential Choice.

What does that mean?

Existentialism is a philosophy that underscores the importance of individual freedom in decision-making. We are ultimately responsible for all of our choices and our choices create our own personal existence.

We can choose to be influenced, positively or negatively, by the external circumstances that we might not be able to change. We do however have a choice in how we respond to our circumstances.

Through our choices, in response, we can create a future of well-being.

Extreme examples are when people caught up in war help their supposed enemies. Or when people have the ability to forgive their aggressor. Their existential choice frees them from the victim persona.

On a smaller scale, when we are having a heated disagreement with someone, we can choose to empathize with them. To see their perspective,rather than becoming angry and lash out as they might be. When we choose to remain calm, we are able to make better choices, authentic choices.

Every day we make choices. Every day we face challenges. Becoming aware that we have existential choice shifts the sphere of influence away from the external and into the self. We create inner peace and happiness.

Balance on my Friends …

POSITIVE ACTION is the second principle of sophrology.

We do not dwell on our problems or the negative. It is not that these do not happen, or that we are not in the middle of a difficult period.

We connect with our inner resources, with the positive, so that we can live them in the present moment. We bring them forward in the mind and sense them in the body.

Connecting in this way, we strengthen our connection with our resources. This connection helping us move forward, through the challenge or toward achieving our intended outcome.

Newton’s 3rd law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When we associate with our positive resources, it ignites a positive chain reaction in the whole self.

Sophrology practices impact the mind - body – spirit, bringing us to a level of higher consciousness. When we are in this state, stress is diminished, and we can approach life with an open mind and heart.

Objective reality is a real skill to be mastered.

It is about letting go of our ready-made ideas or assumptions. In this process we let go of judging ourselves, others and circumstances.

A sitting beside the judgements to just observe. To see what really is and not what we have come to expect to be.

Judging is human habit, it leads us to automatic reactions. It is built in and largely controlled by the mid-brain, or our limbic system. This is the part of the brain that works to keep us safe. We befriend our judge as it helps us make sense of the world around us in a way that we have become comfortable with. But is our judge really our friend? Is it really helping us?

Notice I did not say that the judge makes us feel at peace, or in harmony. Our judge usually does not make us feel this way.

It is in the practice of putting of our thoughts and judgements into brackets, and approaching people and situations with curiosity, that we become more objective and in more harmony.

We begin to expereince the world in a different way.

This new way of experiencing the world is a central principle in sophrology practice. We begin to know ourselves with impartiality and newness.

This is one of the most liberating effects of sophrology practice. To move outside of life’s daily judgements and preconcieved notions.

A real freedom of the trappings of the mind.
