Deep Change through Elaborate Focusing Projects

Change something that has been around for a long time in spite of your many efforts.

With issues such as: difficult-to-change relationship or career patterns, stubborn depression and anxiety disorders, obsessions/addictions that persist, integrity issues, professional development, physical conditions, spiritual blocks, social change projects, difficult-to-achieve creativity goals.

In the classes you will: ·

LAUNCH a Changing the Unchangeable project (a macro) making your change-campaign equal to the task. Macros go further into your internal structure and further out into the social structure than is visible. They require more of a campaign than you think.

GET HELP from your history for approaching your macro (your unchangeable issue) Macros are difficult to approach freshly.

LOOSEN ROPES. Think of a macro(your project) as a trampoline held in place by many ropes. There is an art to finding and loosening these ropes which keep your macro from changing. ·

DISMANTLE BEARING WALLS. Grasping the intricacy of your deeper world allows you to coordinate complex change steps similar to the project of dismantling a bearing wall in a house. ·

MAKE TIME YOUR FRIEND through Timestretching, Timesensing, Timeshifting, and In-Time--special focusing methods for making time your friend rather than your enemy. ·

DO sophisticated JOURNALING so you can go further with the forward steps ·

LEARN ANTI-STRANDING which works in a different direction than classic focusing and has similarities with meditation. Instead of moving toward clarification and small sequential forward steps, it moves toward the vague and toward indirect cross-time changes in the whole project.

Schedule: We will choose a time which facilitates the time zones of the various people who sign up.

Cost: $450
