UNIQUENESS

Embodied Growth

Continue your embodied growth, becoming more conscious, actualizing your greater potential and thriving all throughout your life.  Feel more relaxed, open, free, grounded, centered, expressive, joyful and confident in your body.  Learn tools to self-regulate, have more energy, feel and release emotions and heal past trauma.  It’s not just about mentally knowing it, Mystics is intentionally designed so your growth can be embodied to create lasting change and skills for a lifetime.

Better Relationships

Learn how to create rapport, deepen connection, deescalate conflict, invite openness, evoke insight and relate with much deeper presence and connection.  Enhance your communication skills, while becoming more aware, curious, empathic, boundaried and accepting

with your romantic partner, friends, clients and community.  Become more securely attached with those closest to you.  Live with an open heart to feel more connection, joy, love and gratitude throughout your life.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotionally Intelligent Instead of Mental Bypassing Emotional Intelligence is a distinct line of development from the realization of spiritual states. In other words, being able to feel subtle energy or glimpse Non-Dual Awareness is unrelated to being able to name, feel and release an emotion. Learning to sit and scan your body as one common meditation tradition teaches is useful for body sensing, but ineffective for helping you feel and release the emotion. Thus, instead of spending days in an emotional state, Mystics teaches practical and effective emotional intelligence tools that can help you release the feeling in minutes.

Impact & Success

Reclaim your attention, reduce stress, avoid digital distraction and overcome procrastination, so you can more often be in flow states for greater creativity, productivity and success.
