1) Everything is Energy. The advancement of therapy and coaching must directly incorporate working with energy.
2) Human beings experience energy through their bodies; emotion, sensation, imagery as well as through their mind and behaviour. For safe and sustainable change, practitioners need to work safety and effectively with all these channels of experience.
3) Biological safety is the first priority for transformational change. Human beings require a trustworthy container of physical and emotional safety to facilitate healing and growth.
4) Being human means being in relationship, with ourselves, with others, with the world, with Source. The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. We are created for connection.
5) Adverse childhood experiences devoid of physical and emotional safety are the fundamental reasons for adult life stress.
4) Working directly with past trauma experiences is dysregulating for both practitioner and client. Rather than addressing trauma directly, a methodical expansion of the client's current capacity to process information supports the body's natural ability to process past experiences.
5) Learnings resulting from past experience can be unlearned. The structure and functioning of the brain can be altered.
6) Who the practitioner IS energetically, the extent to which they have expanded their own capacity for joy, is the greatest asset they bring to their professional work.
7) Academic credentials and certifications are not sufficient to hold a safe container for transformational change.
8) As individuals grow their capacity for joy and connection today, they positively impact their families, friends, workplaces and communities. Our world benefits from every tap they take.
