About the classes

Principles of Financial Freedom

Stock quotes, financial updates, portfolio management tips are available to us instantly. However, there is little information available to support us in understanding why we’re afraid to balance our checkbook or why it’s seems so difficult to get ahead.

Once we uncover the hidden beliefs that keep us stuck, we can begin to take steps to transform those old attitudes and beliefs. Real prosperity is about the attitude of freedom in our financial affairs. Freedom is not about how much money we might have. It is the way we feel about the experience of money in our lives.

The Science of Living an Extraordinary Life
Part 1 — Thinking outside the box

Do you every find yourself waiting for things to get better? Do you think to yourself: ‘Life will be good when I have more money, lose some weight, get married (or divorced!)’ Waiting is based on fear–fear of taking action, fear of asking for what you want.

We live in an abundant universe, rich with ideas, prosperous and wealthy. We have the potential to achieve amazing goals. What keeps us from success is not having all the tools we need.

The Science of Living an Extraordinary Life
Part 2 — Speaking with Intention

As a society we are obsessed with complaining and blaming. We also criticize ourselves endlessly. Self–judgment is like poison running through our veins. It weakens our resolve, dampens our spirit and sends us in a downward spiral.

Mastering our thinking is only the first part of living an extraordinary life. The next step is to speak with clarity, intention and love. Our words have power—we can transform complaints into gratitude and blame into acknowledgment.

The Science of Living an Extraordinary Life
Part 3 — Creating Conscious Relationships

Sometimes it seems like the only thing keeping us from success is meeting just one person; the right partner, the perfect employee, the motivated client. Then all our problems will be solved. In the meantime, we may have a grudge against our neighbor, irritation with spouse or conflict with a relative.

In order to create conscious relationships, we must first create the consciousness within ourselves. By releasing grudges, hurts and competition, we clear the way for love to exist within us. Once we become the center of love, we begin to attract harmonious relationships based on love instead of fear.

The Art of Meditation

The mind can be so busy….thinking, worrying, plotting, planning….it can be exhausting at times. Our thoughts seem to furiously swirl around like a snow globe. Just like the snow globe, when we stop the activity settles to reveal peace and clarity in our lives.

Meditation is the simple process of removing our attention from the conditions and circumstances of the world. It might be simple, but it takes some effort to begin a meditation practice or stay committed to one. Join us to learn the techniques and tools to master the art of meditation.
