The Secret Language of Feelings
Many of us grew up being taught to ignore our own feelings, taught by well-meaning parents and teachers to "behave" and to do what was expected. Our own natural feelings about events and situations were often completely ignored.
Your feelings are there for a reason, and you can use them to guide you as you improve your life and increase your happiness. All feelings are good. Yes, even the "bad" ones are good. They are like indicator lights on a car dashboard. They give us valuable information. But what to do about these feelings? And especially the "bad" feelings?
That's what this class is about. By harnessing your feelings, which arise from your inner self, you can begin to make changes in how you perceive and how you respond to the many situations that arise on a daily basis. It is not necessary to change the people around you to improve your own life.
I'll take you through a step by step process to help you learn to use your feelings to improve your life, starting the very same day. Course fee includes a copy of the book "The Secret Language of Feelings" by Cal Banyan.
