• With all workshops and courses, we incorporate all 7 learning styles with the 3 main styles being Auditory, Visual and Kinesthetic.

• We offer daily opportunities for Student-Instructor interaction within all of our courses which gives the student one-on-one time to ask questions so they understand the curriculum.

• We also offer weekly Google Video Hangouts where the current students of our courses can interact in a live classroom styled atmosphere, and enables all of our students to ask any questions. What  I love best about this is that it gives us all the opportunity to learn from each other.

• Most Workshops include a Course Materials Kit that is shipped out to each student upon registration of specific courses.

• We provide all the supplies that you need to learn "hands on". Our courses are more than just some typed papers about the subject".
  
  

Our Courses are instructor based interactive video and audio which includes the transcripts of each type of media. This provides each student to understand the curriculum using their own individual learning style.

Students have 6 months to complete their course from the time of registration or the receipt of their course material kit. This gives them an ample amount of time to complete the courses at their leisure without losing focus on the materials they are learning. I always recommend completing (1) Unit per week as it is assigned. Most courses range from 7 to 9 units with one unit assigned weekly.

A Simple 10 Minute Destress Plan-Remove Stress from your Life Starting Today!

YOUR SIMPLE 10 – MINUTE DE-STRESS PLAN.

 Stress is hard to avoid in the fast moving modern world, but there are many ways to deal with it. One of the most important rules is to make sure you don't let small stresses build up into something much more serious. Always ensure that you take a 10 minute break between one stressful task and the next-at home, work, or even in your spare time. This will give your mind and body a chance to unwind before you launch into the next potential cost of stress buildup.

TAKE 10
 If you are feeling really frazzled, try the simple 10 minute stress relieving exercise included in this article. You can do it anywhere, at any time-on the crowd a trip home, at your workplace, or even in line at the supermarket checkout counter. You will be amazed at how quickly the step-by-step plan helps you feel better.

PREPARING TO DE-STRESS.
Before you start your de-stress exercise, find a suitable area and try to distract your mind from the stresses around you.

FRESH AIR.
If you can, go outside and find a quiet spot in the fresh air. If you can't, just opening a window will make a difference, even on a bus or train. Closing your eyes and thinking of a calm beach can ease stress.

AROMATHERAPY
Flowers with strong sense, such as Geranium and Lavender are good for easing anxiety; placed a potted plant on your desk or windowsill and let the breeze from outside send its scent around the room. You can also place a few drops of essential oil on a tissue helps you to breathe in the scent and relax.

SOOTHING SOUNDS.
Listen to soothing music through headphones will help too - or just imagine the melodic music in your mind. The gentle sounds of the sea or gentle instrumental music with no words are best for relaxing.

BREATHING EXERCISE

        1. GENTLE BREATHING (1 MINUTE)

        Sit comfortably on a chair, with your back straight and both feet on the grounds. If         you can't sit down,             stand as straight as possible without slouching or leaning         against anything. Close your eyes and focus             on your breathing. Try to let thoughts pass by, rather than pondering on them or daydreaming.

        2. TENSE AND RELAX (4 MINUTES)

Make a fist with your right hand and tense all the muscles in your forearm. Hold the tension for five seconds and then relax your muscles for about 10 seconds. Now do the same thing for each part of your body. Tighten each group of muscles, hold the tension and then relax fully.

3. VISUALIZE (3 MINUTES)

Next, try to recall a place or time where you felt content and relaxed. Use your imagination to reconstruct the place and how you felt when you were there. It might have been a beach vacation or mountains where you went hiking. Let yourself become fully engaged in the scene.

4. LET GO (1 MINUTE)

Once your mind and body are completely relaxed, let go of your stress. Visualize a stream of light or energy pouring through your body and washing away your stress, or imagine the stress leaving your body with each out breath. Picture yourself getting through the rest of the day without stress by trying to anticipate any potentially difficult situations. Thinking about how you can get through them calmly will help you tp put this into practice.

5. STRETCH (1 MINUTE)
Keep your eyes closed and breathe in and out deeply. Enjoy the feeling of relaxation and rest. Move your fingers and toes playfully. Then breathe in and stretch your arms up over your head. Stretch your legs out in front of you. Now open your eyes.

PRACTICE RELAXING

The more often you do this 10-minute stress-relief plan, the better and easier it will become. You will be surprised at how relaxed and confident you begin to feel, and how the challenging parts of your life no longer feel so stressful.

How to be Mindful-Practicing Mindfulness

Start planting your seed of life by being mindful everyday!

Mindfulness has a way of sounding complicated. It’s anything but a difficult task to accomplish.

“Mindfulness is paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally,” according to Marsha Lucas, Ph.D, psychologist and author of Rewire Your Brain for Love.

There are many simple ways you can be more mindful. Here are seven tips to incorporate into your daily life.
1. Practice mindfulness during routine activities. Try bringing awareness to the daily activities you usually do on autopilot, said Ed Halliwell, mindfulness teacher and co-author of the book The Mindful Manifesto.

For instance, pay more attention as you’re brushing your teeth, taking a shower, eating breakfast or walking to work, he said. Zero in on the sight, sound, smell, taste and feel of these activities. “You might find the routine activity is more interesting than you thought,” he said.

2. Practice right when you wake up. According to Lucas, “Mindfulness practice first thing in the morning helps set the ‘tone’ of your nervous system for the rest of the day, increasing the likelihood of other mindful moments.” If you find yourself dozing off, as Lucas does, just practice after having your coffee or tea. But “…don’t read the paper, turn on the TV, check your phone or email, etc. until after you’ve had your ‘sit,’” she said.

3. Let your mind wander. “Your mind and brain are natural wanderers – much like a crawling toddler or a puppy, Lucas said. And that’s a good thing. Having a “busy brain,” Lucas said, is actually an asset. “The beneficial brain changes seen in the neuroscience research on mindfulness are thought to be promoted in large part by the act of noticing that your mind has wandered, and then non-judgmentally – lovingly [and] gently— bringing it back,” she said.

4. Keep it short. Our brains respond better to bursts of mindfulness, Lucas said. So being mindful several times a day is more helpful than a lengthy session or even a weekend retreat. While 20 minutes seems to be the gold standard, starting at a few minutes a day is OK, too.

For instance, you can tune into your body, such as focusing “on how your shoes feel on your feet in that moment, or giving attention to how your jaw is doing [such as, is it] tight, loose or hanging open at the audacity of the person in front of you in the coffee line?” Lucas said.

5. Practice mindfulness while you wait. In our fast-paced lives, waiting is a big source of frustration – whether you’re waiting in line or stuck in traffic. But while it might seem like a nuisance, waiting is actually an opportunity for mindfulness, Halliwell said. When you’re waiting, he suggested bringing your attention to your breath. Focus on “the flow of the breath in and out of your body, from moment to moment and allow everything else to just be, even if what’s there is impatience or irritation.”

6. Pick a prompt to remind you to be mindful. Choose a cue that you encounter on a regular basis to shift your brain into mindful mode, Lucas said. For instance, you might pick a certain doorway or mirror or use drinking coffee or tea as a reminder, she said.

7. Learn to meditate. “The best way to cultivate mindfulness in everyday life is to formally train in meditation,” Halliwell said. He compared practicing mindfulness to learning a new language. “You can’t just decide to be fluent in Spanish – unless you already are – you have to learn the language first,” he said. “Practicing meditation is how to learn the language of mindfulness.” Meditation helps us tap into mindfulness with little effort, he said. He suggested finding a local teacher or trying out CDs.

Mindfulness isn’t a luxury, Lucas said, “it’s a practice that trains your brain to be more efficient and better integrated, with less distractibility and improved focus. It minimizes stress and even helps you become your best self.”

Lucas cited Richard Davidson’s research at the Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin, which shows that all of us have an emotional “set point.” “Some of us have more of a tendency toward withdrawal, avoidance, negative thinking and other depressive symptoms, [whereas] others have a greater tendency toward positive moods [such as, being] curious, tending to approach new things and positive thinking,” she said. Davidson has found that through mindfulness, we may be able to train our brains and shift our set points.

“Mindfulness practice now has an abundance of neuroscience research to support that it helps our brains be more integrated, so your everyday activities, thoughts, attitudes [and] perceptions…are more balanced [or] well-rounded,” Lucas said.
