Empower Yourself: The Force Of Your Own Mind
This lecture describes the scientific foundations of how imagery, guided meditations, and active imagination bring about healing and change. Throughout the millennia of human existence, spiritual guides like shamans, religious teachers, and, nowadays, psychotherapists have utilized the power of the imaginative mind to relieve us from our anxieties and mental afflictions. There are now numerous studies, how phenomena like neuroplasticity, the placebo effect, and subconscious reprogramming can change the brain, and bring about deep healing and wellbeing.

Active Imagination Meditation
In our first meditation, you will experience firsthand how easily our emotions are influenced by the force of the imagination. First, I invite you to imagine something positive. Then, tune into a negative memory, or a worry. Finally, I’d like you to imagine something soothing. This is how active imagination has an effect on our moods and minds - almost instantly. This is how we can learn to use our minds to empower ourselves.

Beliefs & How They Shape Our World
The beliefs and expectations we carry towards the world have a powerful effect on how the world sees us. So often, we tell ourselves self-limiting stories, and as we communicate these to others, the world starts to believe them. The good news is that we can choose to change our stories by changing our beliefs. The ultimate change arrives when we can turn around not only our thoughts but our feelings as well.
Les 4
Guided Meditation To Change Negative Beliefs
In the previous lecture, we learned about beliefs. Today, we'll explore how meditation can help change the negative beliefs we harbor. Start by choosing a negative or self-limiting belief you want to work on, or simply a thought or feeling that gives you discomfort. Begin with something you think is easier to change for now before moving on to more challenging negative beliefs. Relax, and allow yourself to be guided through a healing practice.

Self-Compassion: How To Soothe The Inner Critic
Self-compassion is the most important healing tool there is. When we can soothe an upset inner critic or experience guilt or anger, we must validate the more vulnerable parts of ourselves. In this chapter, I introduce the theory of parts work. Anxious or depressed parts often originate from traumatic memories, and they do not represent the True Self. In order for the true self to shine through, the parts need to be soothed and empathized with.
Les 6
Imaginative Journey To Develop Self-Compassion
In the previous lecture, we have learned that our inner critic is not our true self, but just a part of us that tries to protect us from pain. In this practice, I invite you to identify an inner critic-part. What is it scolding you for? How old is that part? Attuning to this critical voice and identifying its roots is where the journey to developing self-compassion begins.

Coping Skills For Anxiety Or Overwhelm
Anxiety and chronic stress are a part of many people’s lifestyles. We feel overstretched and overworked, and the belief that we’re not strong enough to figure it all out is widespread. Anxiety cannot be eliminated, but it can be soothed and contained. It has almost always to do with faulty beliefs about ourselves and a need to take control. But there are many ways how to deal with anxiety effectively and thoroughly.
Les 8

Depression & Depletion - Boundary Setting & Attending To Your Own Needs
Many women struggle with chronic tiredness, sadness, back pain, fatigue, and low energy. These are all signs of putting too much time and energy into taking care of others versus taking care of yourself. The fear of appearing “selfish” is common, and must be met with compassion and by taking a bigger perspective. When pleasing others or the desire to feel needed is the main source of self-esteem, we need to redirect our attention. What is needed most is a determination for self-care, and setting boundaries towards others.
Les 10
Meditation For Self-Nurturing
Imagine a situation or an emotion that triggers feelings of sadness or depletion. It could be a situation where it’s hard for you to hold your own ground or attend to your own needs. What belief about yourself is tied to these situations? You are invited on an imaginative journey of support and healing.
Les 11
The Power Of The Group
Many studies confirm that a group supersizes the healing effect of any kind of therapeutic or spiritual practice. The support of a group leads to greater self-esteem, deeper connections, and self-empowerment. Energy healing done in groups generates stunning results. Studies have demonstrated how group members experience less pain, higher wellbeing, and a sense of neness when they focus on one specific target, and often in a very short period of time.
Les 12
Oneness Meditation
In this practice, we will go on an imaginative journey of being supported and healed by a circle on unconditional love and acceptance, and eventually, experiencing oneness with all beings.

The True Self: Expand Into Your Greater Being
There are many doorways to the True Self. It is not just silent meditation that helps us access a place of inner stillness and wisdom. We can focus on nurturing the love in our hearts, use our bodies to find inner strength, or focus on the metaphor of the deep ocean as a resource of tranquility. This lecture discusses several access roads to the path of tapping into the True Self.
Les 14

Learning To Love Your Body
Women’s bodies often become the external battlefields for their internal emotional distress: a perfect appearance must make up for low self-esteem. A fit body serves as a bulwark against feelings of vulnerability, and a lack of control. Extreme weight gain becomes a self-made wall and a warning for others not to come too close. Women’s bodies have been objectified and violated for millennia. The task to heal these wounds is enormous, but it is possible to learn to love your body.
Les 16
Gratitude Meditation For The Body

A Healing Relationship With Prosperity
For many women, money is fraught with anxiety and a sense of lack. It triggers negative beliefs about being stuck in a dire place or about not deserving more. Money is alternately seen as something that needs be disavowed or as the ultimate tool that helps us fulfill our every wish. But what does our desire for money really mean? What needs healing in order to have a more balanced relationship to money? This lecture will challenge everything you thought was true about money.
Les 20
Guided Meditation For Living With Prosperity

Les 21
Step Up & Into Your Power
Many women have learned that they depend on the approval and influence of a more powerful (and often male) person in order to feel confident. Learned helplessness and past programming prevent us from stepping into our own power. Blaming others for what went wrong puts us automatically in a place of victimhood. Taking responsibility for our own choices and mistakes is the most important path to self-empowerment.
Les 22
Seat Of Inner Power Meditation

Accessing Inner Guidance: Dreams & Intuition
We all possess powerful tools that lead us on the path to fulfillment: our dreams and our intuition. But most of us have lost touch with this inner radar and don’t know how to restore it. Yet our internal and external world constantly serve up clues that help us navigate life for the better. We can learn how to distinguish anxiety from having an actual viable gut instinct and how to harness our dreams as a source of wisdom.
