COURSE
Learn To Respond Without Reactivity
With Charles Freligh
This course is designed to help you to reduce the ways that you respond reactively, whether it be with anxiety, anger, sadness, frustration, stress. These emotions can distract you from how you really want to be as a person – in relationships, at work, at play. Together, we will learn to install the “pause button,” allowing us to cutivate greater presence and respond with intention instead of reactivity. Over the next 10 days you will develop a conceptual and practical understanding of the life-changing impact of the ability to pause and will learn how to apply this to the ways you habitually react. This course offers a combination of engaging meditative exercises, conceptual lessons, and insights from Charles' experience as a long-time meditator and practitioner of psychotherapy.

The train platform metaphor is so useful, and I learned a lot from this course. I think a lot of material covered is better for meditation beginners.

Every thing Charles teaches is grounded and backed by solid research. Each day there are quotes that sit with me during the day and help me to press pause. Wonderful course.

Such a beautiful course. I have so much gratitude fo Charles and the work he is doing - I honestly get choked up when thinking about it. Thanks to Charles for taking the risk to put himeself out there and share himself and his work with us. The world is a better place for it. His earnest and simple style resonate with me deeply. He is not flowery, overly guru - just authentic and wise -and every morning, I’m so excited to be with this friend! As for the content of this course - right on point - it’s truly what I need in my life - but while I feel I’m at the bottom of the mountain - Charles has laid out a path for me to get to the top - ultimately getting to a place where the effort becomes effortless.

This course was great. To pause and press play instead of allowing a circumstance to persuade me into a reaction is exactly my current course. I'm a big fan of this course and of this man's teachings.

This course is a game changer! I am already seeing the benefits of implementing the train analogy in my life. I am going to take this course again. So many helpful ideas to learn to pause before reacting. Love the concept of putting my best self forward in the world and causing a ripple effect. Thank you 😊
