You learn how to be a human being. You learn how to walk and talk, feed yourself; tie your shoes, what acceptable behavior is, and what acceptable feelings are.

We call this learning “programming” because the information you learn is absorbed and stored deeply in your subconscious mind like a major “download”. This is true for everyone. It’s stored there so that most of your everyday functions can be “on automatic”. The subconscious mind is designed to perform learned functions automatically for you. Life is very complex and it’s good to have an auto-pilot so you don’t have to think about every detail; like your next breath, your next heartbeat, or the more mundane tasks of life that don’t require deliberate thought every time you do them.

Your programming and the meaning you gave it created your beliefs. An enormous amount of information linked with the feelings you had at the time, is absorbed and translated into beliefs and we’re focusing on the negative ones. Repetitive negative responses to your behavior by authority figures and traumatic experiences at an early age can quickly form a belief about yourself that you’re not good enough or that there’s something wrong with you. Interpretations made by children are full of misunderstandings and misperceptions. Beliefs are formed unconsciously and you’re not aware of the enormous power they have over you.

Beliefs are the foundation of your life experience. In short, your beliefs are what drives your bus…they are your operating system, your Windows or OSX. The thoughts, feelings and results you experience today come from the foundational beliefs in your mind.

If your foundational beliefs are negative the results you experience in your life will be negative too. The good news is that these beliefs were learned and they can be unlearned.

In automatic existence your negative beliefs are so tangled up with your reactions and how you look at life that they’re nearly impossible to reveal on your own. For example: A woman, who grew up in a home where her mother and father always argued about money, most likely will associate money with painful feelings. Constantly being around this behavior cultivates the belief that money equals pain. This belief can drive her to unconsciously avoid money or decide that it’s noble to live in scarcity. She has a hidden obstacle around money even if she expresses the desire to have more of it. In automatic existence, she doesn’t have the awareness to understand what’s preventing her from allowing prosperity in her life.

In automatic existence you take little or no personal responsibility for your reactions and behavior and are more likely to blame others and external circumstances for your problems. You are so familiar with your behavior and reactions that all of your negative thoughts and feelings can be justified into one catch phrase “this is just who I am”. You are complacent and passive to your negativity in automatic existence, even though you experience nagging thoughts that there must be more to life. Until you become aware that you are in the state of automatic existence it is impossible to step out of it. Most people are unaware that a different world of perception exists outside of the habitual one they experience.

So, if you’re asking yourself, “Wow, is it really possible that I’ve been living under the influence of negative beliefs I’ve had since childhood?” The answer is YES! And there’s a way to dismantle those beliefs, create new beliefs that support your self-confidence, and empower you to trust your own value. Transforming your old operating system into Conscious Freedom is an amazing journey. You become so much more than the sum of your conditioning and what you’ve experienced of yourself so far.

Did we mention that life is supposed to feel good? This is powerful work. This is a path to freedom. We can take you there.

Root Shadows are responsible for the impulses you feel that you’re being deprived, controlled, dominated, criticized, rejected, abandoned, or betrayed… whether or not that’s what’s really going on. Your root shadows are the root cause of feeling like a failure, unlovable, or that you’ll never get what you want. They stimulate negative emotions like fear, anger, jealousy, and disappointment.

Root shadows can be dissolved or diminished through Conscious Freedom Coaching. You gain a new view of yourself and begin to understand why you have been feeling, thinking and behaving the way you have. This momentum gives you the power to change your perspective about yourself and the world and create new beliefs that are more productive and beneficial.

Dismantling root shadows and creating new beliefs takes practice, and determination. It’s work, for sure, but the most important work you will ever do. As soon as they are acknowledged, and exposed they begin to lose power. When you start to feel this change, a natural sense of self-confidence emerges inside of you and you start to make more productive and satisfying choices for yourself and your life. Your coach will look for that sign and celebrate your true shift toward a happier life.

Where will you spend all the energy you liberate when you free yourself from your negativity? Creativity? Love? Learning? Service?

The subconscious mind processes information much faster than the conscious mind, that’s why it’s in control 85% of the time. Most of your life experience is controlled by your subconscious mind and the beliefs stored there. The conscious mind is like the adult in the room.  It is the rational part that is able to slow things down, pause, see new perspectives and with practice create new beliefs.

Here’s where the challenge comes: Without the conscious mind’s awareness in an interaction, assumptions from hidden beliefs can override reason and logic, leading you to misunderstandings and misinterpretations. What about the conclusions you make when a friend hasn’t called you back in a long time. Do you assume right away that they’re mad at you or that you did something wrong? How do you feel when you find out later they were just busy or out of town? Thoughts from the subconscious mind have emotions attached to them that are often misguided and untrue and use up a lot of valuable energy to process.  You create a lot of suffering for yourself within your own mind.

Getting into the belief structure and doing an overhaul is a big deal. But that’s what has to happen to make a difference for you and your life. There’s some negative activity going on at the depths of your belief system that when addressed can free you to have more conscious choices in your life. Understanding how the subconscious mind works makes you more aware of how you’re interacting with it.

What’s so good about a conscious perspective? Being more aware allows you to see all the possibilities in a given situation. It allows new information to be processed without the subconscious getting in the way. That means that you get to choose the thoughts and feelings you want to engage with rather than being driven by impulses from hidden negative beliefs.

We teach you how to see the roadblocks and overcome them with awareness tools so that you can create something new within you, an empowered new life.
