Last year, I was at an intimate concert for my friend Kevin Montgomery, a country musician who was on his 50 States in 50 Days charity tour. The concert was hosted by a couple whom I never met, in their home — a “house concert.” There were about a dozen people in attendance.

I had asked the man if they ever host house concerts for other types of musicians, like bluegrass bands (me!).

“We’d never be able to get enough people interested in a bluegrass concert to host a show,” he said. (Please understand there are 9.6 million people in my metropolitan area.)

“There are lots of bluegrass fans in Chicago. Look at the Old Town School … they host an entire month of just bluegrass band concerts,” I said. “

“You’ll never make it,” he said, shaking his head.

“Dude, don’t kill my dream,” I said and walked away to greet my friend Kevin.

Fast forward 8 months. Last week I went to a concert at one of Chicago’s favorite venues, The Vic Theater. This old, dilapidated theater has hosted everyone from David Bowie to The Cure and Wilco, a hometown favorite.

I went there to see Gillian Welch, a bluegrass singer/songwriter. And guess what? The concert was completely sold out … around 1,400 people bought tickets.

So much for Mr. Dream Killer’s theory. Another bluegrass musician, Alison Krauss, will fill the Chicago Theater (twice the size) in early September.

Has anyone ever done that to you? Tried to kill your dream?

Just as important, have you ever done that to someone else, who shared their dream with you?

This man was projecting his disappointment about his life onto me, or perhaps his fears. He even might have thought he was helping me, by steering me away from what he perceived as a future disappointment.

While I was initially put off by his comment, it didn’t really bother me. I had already lived one of my dreams, and it was the easiest thing I had ever done. (The hard part wasn’t launching my dream, but getting past my fear so I could get started.)

I wondered if at some point in his life, someone had killed his dream. Who was it? A parent? A teacher? His wife? I wondered if he had ever experienced the Having state. I doubted it. I hope someday he does. Because it’s when you experience even a glimpse of this that you finally understand the nature of life … that your dream is divinely designed to be EASY.

What do you do when someone wants to kill your dream?

Especially when it took a lot just for you to make yourself vulnerable enough to share it with them?
You expect them to jump up and down when you tell them you have a dream and intend to make it come true, unable to contain their excitement.

Instead, they look at you with pity in their eyes, or laugh at you, or sabotage you every chance they get.

I once had a client who made her dream come true (I’m talking a big, big dream). She called her mother, so excited to share the news.

Her announcement was greeted with a pause, then, “So, are you coming over for dinner on Sunday?”

Believe it or not, this is a fairly typical response. And when it happens, you realize your loved one never actually believed you would make it.

There are two things you must do to avoid receiving this kind of “support” in your life:

1) Be very choosy about who you share your dream with. I mean really, really picky.

2) Choose a support person you can rely on. This is part of your Dream Success Plan. This person should be a friend who organically believes in your every dream, or a coach or mentor. Share your dream with them, and outline exactly what you need from them as you embark on making your dream a reality. Ask them to agree to support you. Put it in writing if you want … whatever you need to allow yourself to feel supported.

3) If you want other people to believe in your dream, you have to believe in others’ dreams, too! Be very careful about how you respond when someone shares their dreams with you. Notice how you react. Do you want to protect them by lowering their expectations? Or do you believe anything is possible? Do you roll your eyes? Believe in others and you’ll attract people into your life who believe in YOU.

Your Dreaming Big! Creating Reality Assignment This Week:

In the next 24 hours, ask yourself, “How well do I support others in their dreams?” Get honest with yourself. Do you need to improve this at all? If so, start right now!

Then, begin forming your Dream Success Plan by inviting someone you REALLY trust to be your Dream Support Person. If you don’t have a friend who can fill this role for you, begin to explore coaches you could work with when the time is right.

I have seen clients access this power and watch years-long struggles dissipate almost instanteously. I’ve seen them heal relationships without having a conversation, shed what’s not working for them and attract something new and find true happiness for the first time in their lives.

It’s easy to be present in the “now” when life is easy. The real challenge comes in when you are triggered or surrounded by negativity.

How do you stay present when things aren’t so perfect?

You have to be more committed to your happiness than you are to being right.

You have to be willing to do things differently when someone wants you to join them in their co-dependent emotional patterns.

Your spiritual needs have to trump the survival needs of your ego, which may be stuck in a moment decades ago that it perceives was a threat to you.

When you are willing to do this, you can truly participate in your life, your relationships and liberate yourself from past patterns. And your external world can fall into place … finally.
Your Dreaming Big! Creating Reality Assignment This Week:

In the next 24 hours, ask yourself, “What are my biggest triggers that move me out of being present in the now?”

I guarantee you already know what or who they are. Once you are clear on these, create a plan for what to do differently next time so you can stay present. As soon as you feel that trigger start, STOP. Make it your goal to be the Observer instead of the reactor. Then, observe the situation as the mindful, spiritual person you are. You’ll experience the power you actually hold to be truly happy and create the life you want. It’s sitting inside of you waiting for you to notice.

I love this show!

Gene Simmons is a member of the legendary rock band KISS and has created a wildly successful business by licensing KISS merchandise and investing in ventures he believes will generate a profit.

This guy lives a pretty charmed life. Gene has been in a relationship with the love of his life, Shannon Tweed, for 27 years, has two grounded, talented kids and lives in a huge mansion in Los Angeles. He doesn’t drink, smoke or do drugs. He flies around the world and has enough money to do literally anything he wants.

The new season of this show, though, revealed some cracks in the foundation.

While Gene’s and Shannon’s relationship has been stable and loving, he has refused to marry her all these years, saying he wants to be with her out of choice and not because he is obligated to. He views getting married as a surrender of control over his happiness.

He has cited many times on the show that his own father abandoned him and his mother and how it traumatized him, and it was obvious this painful experience was the root of his refusal to tie the knot.

Having “had it” with the rock-star groupies and the lack of a marriage commitment, Shannon finally left him.

What happened next was truly amazing.

After seeking help from a psychotherapist, the two reconciled and the family headed to Israel, where Gene was to receive an achievement award from the town where he was born.

Shannon arranged in secret to gather Gene’s half-siblings together so he could meet them for the first time (his father passed away two years ago). When Gene arrived at this gathering, he seemed positively mortified at first, but embraced what was happening and spent some time with his new-found family.

Over the next few days, all of the beliefs he’d held as true about his life imploded.

Through interaction with his half-siblings, he discovered he had a new family anxious to love and accept him, but more important, he disovered that the source of his pain all these years — the notion that his father had abandoned them — was just that, a story in his mind.

In truth, his mother had been hell-bent on emigrating to the US with 7-year-old Gene in tow. Gene’s father didn’t want to leave Israel, but his mother took their son and went anyway. She then worked multiple jobs to make ends meet, leaving Gene home alone while she went to her night job. He would wake up in the middle of the night, terrified, not understanding why his mother wasn’t answering his cries and this scarred him. Yet, he’s blamed his father for the pain this caused.

His father’s true feelings were revealed through his personal writings, which his siblings shared with Gene. It was clear his father had loved him deeply and was heartbroken that Gene didn’t want a relationship with him. He was also incredibly proud of his son’s massive success, which he watched in the media like the rest of us.

As Gene sat at his father’s grave, the regret of what could have been washed over him and he broke down sobbing, repeating the phrase, “I’m so sorry,” over and over and over. It was too late to make things right with his father.

He told himself a story all these years so he could perpetuate the idea that his mother was a martyr. In reality, there were good and bad things that came out of the choice she had made, which is always the case. She had not been so much a martyr but was simply living with the consequences of her choice.

Of course, the greatest positive was that Gene lived his dream and became an American rock star.

Watching this episode moved me to tears, as I remembered an important lesson: the story we form in our minds creates our suffering and prevents us from actualizing the life we truly want.

It’s the movie reel that we play over and over so we don’t have to make ourselves vulnerable enough to experience deeper love, realize our dreams or go for the success we are capable of.

What will happen next to Gene Simmons? Time will tell … but in the preview for this week’s episode, Gene tells Shannon that, after 27 years, he is finally ready to get married. This kind of instantaneous shift is exactly what happens when you are willing to let go of the stories you tell yourself.  [UPDATE: He subsequently popped the question.]

What are the stories you perpetuate in your life — the ones that hold you back from realizing your dreams or experiencing deeper love or greater success?

You can tell what your stories are because they are the canned responses you give others when you tell them about your life — especially about what is not happening or what happened in the past that frustrates you.
The most common stories center around playing the victim, but there are an infinite number of fictional stories the mind can come up with to keep you from making yourself vulnerable and moving ahead, like:

So and so ruined my life.
If I go for it and fail, I’ll lose everything.
The time for me to launch my dream has passed. I blew my chance.
People abandon me / cheat on me / can’t be trusted.
I’m a financial screw-up.
All the successful people are better looking than me.
I have to have a perfect body to make it in the music industry / as an actor / in television.
Life is hard.
If I open up to being loved, I’ll get my heart broken again.
How do you find the stories you’re telling yourself?

>> They lurk in the patterns you repeat that frustrate you so much.

>> They whisper to you in your moments of opportunity by reminding you there is a possible negative outcome.

>> You tell them to others so many times your story becomes a sound byte.

Why not see things from a new angle and choose to see your experiences with more objectivity?
When you are willing to do this, your external world can improve rapidly.

Your Dreaming Big! Creating Reality Assignment This Week:

In the next 24 hours, ask yourself, “What are the stories I tell myself that don’t serve me and where I want to go?”

Identify your stories and then going forward, pay attention to how you talk about your past, present and future. Consciously choose to talk about and think about your life in new terms.

If you are serious about making your dream a reality — and making it EASY — you must become conscious about how high it sits on your priority list.

We only tend to devote time and attention to our top three priorities. This means that at least some days, you’ll need to be willing to put your dream way up there if you want to see it actually come to fruition.

This might involve asking for help with your kids while you create a business plan, saying “no” to people, or locking yourself in a friend’s cabin once a quarter so you can write your book undisturbed.

Unless you can make your dream a real priority, you’ll continue to move toward it in fits and starts, or wait for a better time — and the thing is, “someday” never comes.

The truth is, tomorrow is not a guarantee. We assume there will always be another time, but in reality, life is just a series of nows, and then it ends, and we don’t know when this will take place. This isn’t meant to scare you, but to wake you up!

There will never be a better now to get present and get real about what’s important to you.

Maybe family responsibilities prevent you from doing certain aspects of your dream right now. That’s okay. But what CAN you prioritize with it so you can keep moving forward?

Many people wait to even take out the paintbrush, sit at the piano, or write the first page of their book until they perceive the time is right to have a gallery showing, perform a concerto or shop their book to the world’s best publishers.

These things are actually just minor details that will fall into place when the time is right. I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times. But first, you have to do your part.

You can be taking major action toward what is in your control and within your abilities. Let the divine take care of those unknown to-do items that will take place in some unknown future moment — and make your dream a priority NOW.

Your Dreaming Big! Creating Reality Assignment This Week:

In the next 24 hours, ask yourself, “Where does my dream fit into my life?”

Make a list of your top ten priorities and see where it falls on that list. Then, ask yourself how and when you can fit your dream into your life. Make a plan. Get support. Gain accountability. Then, bring your dream into the world!

This is called your “power move.”

Your power move is often something totally unrelated to your dream, but sometimes it can be.

It’s the background noise that runs in your mind. It’s the thing you’re constantly thinking you should take care of, or that you wish would go away.

It might be something with your child that you need to ask for help with. It might be writing your first page of your book. It might be researching something.

It might be taking care of that pile of filing that’s sitting there, constantly bugging you and weighing you down.

When you identify your power move and take action, you free yourself up exponentially. You’ll discover your power move through watching your thoughts. It’s that thing hanging out there that drains you; it’s the thing you’re constantly thinking, “I should be doing that,” or “I need to take care of that.”

Or maybe it’s something related to your dream … a first step, and once you take that step, you know you’ll have the momentum going to follow through on the rest.

Your power move will not only affect your dream, it will have a ripple effect in every area of your life: your relationships or your ability to find a romantic partner, your income, your productivity.

You already know what your power move is. I guarantee it. Be really honest with yourself and find the truth. Then, take care of it, and feel the freedom that’s available to you!

Your Dreaming Big! Creating Reality Assignment This Week:

In the next 24 hours, ask yourself, “What one thing would free me up to get going on my dream?” If you’re not sure, notice the background noise that goes on in your mind. Notice thoughts of “I should” or “I need to” that you never really take care of. Then, make a commitment to take care of that thing in the next week.

Now I understand that as the producers learn about these contestants, they’re trying to piece together a story. But what I am finding so fascinating watching this competition is the number of contestants who are attached to their identities as the striver, the misfit, the gay person, or the person who “almost” makes it, but never quite gets there.

One of the singers was actually introduced as “‘Mr. Almost’ Himself” because all he talked about was how he almost gets a big break!

Not surprisingly, these people are not the people who win the round and move the next round of competition. (You guessed it … Mr. Almost “almost” made it to round 3. Almost.)

The reason they don’t move forward is they’ve created an identity around their perceived struggle. Subconsciously, what their ego really wants is simply to perpetuate their identity. It wouldn’t know what to do if they actually won.

They give off an energy of trying but never having so that’s what they attract.

Others talk about how they don’t fit in. I can feel their Striving and Wanting energy. (I want to scream out to them: musicians are WEIRD! Look around! If you’re like everyone else, no one is going to sign you to a record deal. This is your greatest ASSET.)
Your Ego Identity can really give you fits. It’s the thing that makes you binge on two pieces of cake just when you start to lose significant weight. It’s the thing that keeps you at a job you dread year after year when you want to go live your dream.

See, your Ego Identity thinks it’s YOU — but is actually terrified of you changing and getting where you really want to go. It wonders, “But what will happen to ME?”

When you do release it, you will be liberated from everything that’s holding you back! (I just had this happen with two private clients this week … the lightness, the opportunities, the ease of life … it’s really amazing to see things open up inside and outside.)

In order to break out of your patterns that don’t serve you, you’ll need to discover your ego identities and decide which ones are no longer serving you and let them go.

And then you get to choose something new.

How about the person for whom everything works out easily … who has things fall in his lap like magic … who attracts loving, generous people and ample opportunities?

Doesn’t that sound a whole lot better?

The crucial step of releasing the Ego Identity is why the fourth Phase in the S.O.U.R.C.E. Blueprint is Release. I guide you through this all-important shift so you can break to a out of your patterns and choose something new: something that actually serves you and your dreams. It’s an amazing experience to be FREE.

For help with this, get your copy of the S.O.U.R.C.E. Blueprint here: http://www.yourquantumsuccesscoach.com/source.

For example, if you have a few experiences where you’re victimized, instead of believing these were just incidents that happened to you, you might start to believe that being a victim is who you ARE. And once you believe it’s who you are, your ego will do anything to preserve this image you have of yourself. You’ll talk about your past this way. You’ll talk about your future this way. You’ll attract circumstances that allow you to tell new victim stories. (If this is you, watch how you react when someone suggests you don’t have to be a victim. You’ll probably become enraged, defending your “right” to define yourself that way.)

A very common ego identity is the identity of the striver. When presented with a circumstance where things are EASY, the person doesn’t know how to handle it … in fact, they are so used to things being a struggle, they will subconsciously choose options that allow them to keep struggling … the wrong partner, a job where they will end up burned out, even turning down opportunities to make more money so they can keep their identity as a striver.

Money identities are quite common, in fact: the damsel in distress, the hero (lots of parents like to play this role), the financial screw-up, the materialistic person.

Identities are very common around physical appearance, too: the fat person, the perfect body, the beautiful girl, the geek.

You’ll find them in your love life, too … the person who people cheat on or abandon, the commitment-phobe, the overly loyal person (even as they are being abused or discarded).

The important question to ask isn’t whether you have an ego identity (everyone does … mother, father, sister, brother, your occupation, your political affiliation, your religion; I could go on and on). The really important question to ask is whether your ego identity has worn out its welcome. Whether it’s time to kick it to the curb and choose a new one … one that serves you and your dreams.
Your Dreaming Big! Creating Reality Assignment This Week:

In the next 24 hours, ask yourself, “What are the patterns I keep circling back to?” What are those places I end up saying, “Back here again? How did that happen?” It’s in your patterns that you’ll discover your worn-out ego identity.

But what’s really happening is your ego has discovered that convincing you that a plan is limiting, constricting and you just don’t need it allows it to keep your attention on other things.

Meanwhile, days, weeks, months or even years go by and you haven’t gotten anywhere.

Remember, the ego doesn’t actually want your dream to become a reality. It’s in love with the wanting itself.

Break free from this futile pattern of floating along by committing to create a Dream Success Plan, and you’ll take leaps and bounds toward your dream.

In the My Life, My Dream, My Turn program, I guide students in applying my unique method for creating a plan that’s both fun and spiritual, where you understand how to set goals so your ego will finally get out of your way.

The first step is asking yourself, “What do I really want? And where am I going next?”

Here’s the secret to doing this effectively: There are three possible levels where you can set your dream targets, but only two of these are where you should be aiming: Your Stratosphere Vision and your Next Step. In between those two layers we have the Danger Zone.

Most people, believe it or not, set almost all their goals in their Danger Zone.

The Danger Zone is something big enough that your ego believes it’s probably possible, but too big that it can’t let go of the manifestation details, like how it will come together, when it will happen and whether it’s really possible.

Your Stratosphere Vision, on the other hand, is your real dream. It’s so far up there, with no limits, your ego doesn’t even bother being afraid. It doesn’t really think it’s possible for you (but it IS).

And your Next Step Dream is a target you believe you can achieve within the next 6-18 months, with just a little help from the Universe.

When you set your targets and keep your aim true, you’ll be unstoppable in making your dream a reality, and your ego will stop all that negative self-talk, stop sabotaging you and finally get out of your way.

Your Dreaming Big! Creating Reality Assignment This Week:

In the next 24 hours, set your Stratosphere Vision. Let go of all limits and just let your imagination run wild!

I had promised the author over two years ago I would read it and comment on it. I’m sure the author thought I long ago forgot about him, but even though I got sidetracked, I never forgot my promise.

I doubt you have ever heard of this book nor of the author; yet, it is one of the best books I have ever read.

This book is so fun to read and full of wisdom, I felt it was important to share it with you, and I asked the author for special permission to print excerpts with you today.

It contains several passages that are unparalleled in helping you understand what’s really going on in your life and how to break free from your fears.

This book is a perfect complement to the S.O.U.R.C.E. Blueprint in helping you free yourself from the fears and limitations of the ego — especially the transformative experiences in Phases 1 and 2 of my Blueprint.

The wonderful thing about this book is that it’s presented as a fun-to-read story. It’s not heavy, like so much of the other material available on this subject.

It’s written by a Canadian poet and novelist who I met on Twitter a couple of years ago named David Weedmark. I hope you’ll consider reading this book. If so, let me know what you think.

It’s called The Nature of Trees.

We all have an ego. This part of us serves a couple of important purposes. Your ego gives you a sense of “I” in life. It gives you an identity — or perhaps 5 or 10 — that allows you to create a predictable day-to-day life. Roles like parent, child, sibling, your occupation, and even whether you are poor, rich, smart, boring, thin or fat make up your ego.

It believes that these roles it plays, though, are actually YOU (they’re not).

The ego believes that by using your past as a predictor of your future, and analyzing the various potential scenarios it views as available to you, it can persuade you to make choices that provide the safest outcome for you.

To the ego, this “safe” outcome is simply whatever is most familiar to you, but really, it’s whatever outcome allows it to perpetuate itself — the roles you play.

It is not actually concerned with whether that outcome is good for you or bad for you.

It’s crucial to understand that all of the things the ego convinces you that you desperately need, it doesn’t really want — more money, security, someone to love you, a child, a special experience.

See, the ego is in love with the wanting. As soon as you have that thing it craves, it will just start a new game of craving something new — a game that’s inherently designed to prevent you from ever winning.

Surrender to what IS. It’s all okay.

—————————————————————

Excerpts from The Nature of Trees

by David Weedmark

“…The illusion that the Ego exists … is the illusion of separation. The Ego creates that illusion during every moment of its life, but it is also the product of that same illusion.”

” …To shield itself from the simple truth [that we are not separate from anything else], the Ego devises elaborate games to distract itself. It believes itself to be trapped within the tangles of this game that it plays. It believes itself to be a victim of the [very] rules it created for itself.”

“The Ego is not content with happiness, but with the anticipation of happiness.

…In the midst of solitude, the Ego craves company.

…In the midst of abundance, the Ego craves novelty.

…In the midst of love, the Ego craves freedom.

…In the midst of freedom, the Ego craves security.”

While the Ego claims to value love, or happiness, or contentment, or excitement above all other things, it will never find these things to its liking.

For to be content in this world, there is no cause for struggle against it. Without this struggle, there is no cause for fear. To be without fear is not possible for the Ego.

The Ego is the embodiment of fear.”

[By the way, the subsequent passage in the book is about love ... you have to read it. It's pretty amazing.]

See, your subconscious mind speaks to you through your body. But to understand the root causes of your current results, and to hear your intuitive guidance, you first have to learn to speak its language.

Do you ever:

* Engage in comfort behaviors (eating, drinking, retail therapy)?

* Feel “stuck” in one or more areas of your life?

* Regularly feel tension in your shoulders, chest or abdomen?

* Suffer from anxiety or panic attacks?

* Experience aches, pains or headaches, and no matter what you do, they keep coming back?

What is your usual response when you feel discomforts like these?

If you’re like most people, you want to get rid of them – as soon as possible!

The thing is … the urge to run the other way or “squelch” the feeling is actually exactly the opposite of what you should be doing.

Here’s why:

Put simply, your body is trying to tell you something! It’s trying to offer you crucial intuitive guidance, reveal to you something that needs to be healed or let you know your deeper self needs something – emotionally, physically or spiritually.

The problem is, since you don’t understand your body’s “language,” it becomes frustrated that you’re not listening, and tries harder to get your attention.

It would be like a person coming up to you that has the absolute KEY to your prosperity, happiness, or health – and he’s trying desperately to tell you what it is. But the only problem is, he speaks Greek and you speak English!

He has “inside information” – all the secrets to help you create the life you truly want. In fact, he knows every cause of everything going on in your entire life. He knows everything in your subconscious mind, and all the things you’re trying to accomplish in your life in this year. Maybe it’s prosperity, or better health, or you want to finally have a relationship that’s effortless and loving.

Even better, this “Greek-speaking” person knows exactly how to help you get there. It’s like having your own personal satellite looking down at the path you’re on and the options before you.

So this Greek-speaking super-genius walks up to you and tells you (in Greek, of course) all of these secrets you need to know. And when you don’t respond and take action, he repeats it, hoping you will finally listen.

When you ignore him – you’re now thinking there must be something *seriously* whacked about this person — he begins to shout it at you, thinking, “Oh, she must be hard of hearing! Otherwise, why on earth wouldn’t she be listening to this incredible information I’m giving her? I have the key to her well-being, after all!”

And all YOU want to do is get rid of this incredibly annoying person who is shouting louder and louder at you in Greek! In fact, you feel so uncomfortable now, you desperately search for things to make you feel better – someone to help, or you take off running, or you might dart into a restaurant, hoping to get rid of him. Anything to feel a sense of well-being again.

This is exactly what we do in real life. But when our inner self (through our body) talks to us in the special language it uses, and then resorts to shouting it at us (through amplified emotions, anxiety or physical pain), instead of darting into a restaurant, we sleep, watch TV, listen to music, drink alcohol, pop a pill, go shopping, seek out sexual gratification or eat a piece of cake (or two!).

So what’s the solution?

There is an incredibly powerful method you can learn to help you decipher the language of your body and dialogue with it to permanently transcend negative emotions, discover the root of your unwelcome patterns and get “unstuck.”

It’s called body conversation.

It’s a step-by-step process you can apply to help you:

==> Break free from negative patterns in your life

==> Take charge of your emotional responses

==> Discover the driving force behind your poverty cycles, comfort behaviors, and destructive relationship patterns

==> Relieve or even prevent stress

==> Rid yourself of annoying aches and pains

NOTE: Whether or not you can make it “live,” you’ll have instant access to the recording, so you can listen again and again as you integrate this powerful method into your life.

In this class, we’ll teach you how to receive these enlightening conversations from your body step by step, so you’ll be totally prepared to do-it-yourself once the class is complete.

This was our most popular teleclass of 2010! However, we want you to know that this will be the last time we offer this class “live” and at this price. After the class is over, you’ll only be able to access this material as part of a special product we’ll be releasing, at a much higher price.

What would it be worth to you to:

* Be empowered to root out limiting beliefs on your own?

* Finally get “unstuck” by understanding the cause?

* Hold a secret weapon to controlling or eliminating anxiety, tension and stress?

* Have the power to change your negative relationship and prosperity patterns

* Stop accumulating debt, gaining weight and seeing unwanted results of other comfort behaviors?

* Feel in control of your emotional reactions?

You’re probably thinking that creating these changes is pretty much priceless, right? But the fee for this transformative tele-class is only $77 – a small fraction of the cost of receiving this experience one-on-one.
