Do
you recognise this: "I am healthy, moderately successful, have a loving
partner and a well-paying job, but really feel like I'm
missing something." Do you feel stuck,
blocked, frustrated, confused? Do you feel empty or dissatisfied
inside?
Are you
looking for answers? Looking for a better way?
Would you like to discover the keys to true happiness and how to make
being successful so much easier?
Have you tried
traditional counseling with little or no success?
I (Nicholas) know what
it feels
like to be struggling to get on top of your life.
I know what it feels like to not seem to be able to take a trick. In
the mid 1980's my life was at its lowest ebb. I had lost the joy in
life.
Even though I had
many of the hallmarks of success I was not happy or
fulfilled inside. I was married, on scholarship at the Australian
Institute of Sport, representing Australia in international athletics,
(I was the 10th fastest Austaralian ever over the marathon with a 2hr
15minute performance), working as an architect, living in a fine house,
young (mid 20's), fit and healthy.
BUT inside I was
struggling. I felt
empty, lost, frustrated and miserable. I was becoming more and
more pessimistic, cynical and shut down.
I started to struggle in training, was having difficulties relating to
my wife and began suffering from chronic fatigue. In 1985 I has
involved in a head on car accident in which my best friends wife was
killed. I lost 5 teeth and had 135 stiches on my face and scalp.
I
was desperately
seeking answers.
I had tried the
rounds of conventional help to no avail. Nothing changed and I got more
and more desperate.
Until one day I was
fortunate to
discover something that turned my life around.
Infact what I discovered radically transformed my life. Suddenly I
understood.
I understood why things were so hard and why I was so unhappy. It was
like I had been playing a game of Basketball, not understanding the
rules and keep on being fowled off the court.
What I discovered has propelled me for over 20 years now.
What I discovered was that the key to finding success and
happiness in
life was in looking inside, not outside. All my life, up until then, I
had tried to do the right thing, make my parents proud and others
happy, and work hard in the pursuit of success.
Instead of focusing so much on trying to get my external conditions
'just right', I realised I needed to turn my attention inside for
change to occur in my life.
I saw very clearly how I had been making things difficult for myself -
unconcsiously! I had grown up taking on negative beliefs and feelings
that were producing negative results in my life.
I
was AWAKE!
Paul Blackburn is the man who woke me up and inspired me to not only
seek what is possible, but to encourage and guide others to awaken to
their own potential also. Today Paul is a good friend whom I love
dearly and will be forever grateful for his presence in my life. In
fact, he probably saved my life.
That was 20 years ago,
since then I have continued to explore the potential of human
experience - just how good can it get! I have also had a passion for
sharing what I discovered with others who have found
themselves in similar situations as me.
And it has been a most heart
warming and rewarding time.
Thanks to Paul
I discovered that the source of the problem was
within me. And even better, I found out how to take control of my life
to achieve success and how to induce inner peace, happiness and as a
consequence my life has been transformed.
Today, I am very
happily married to Susan, I have two
wonderful boys (Charles and Alexander),
I spend my time doing what I
love, living my passion, I
live on 7 beautiful acres of
rainforest in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne (where we hold our
retreats) and I feel very blessed by life.
Sure I still have my
challenges, but I handle them so much better these days.
I
have discovered little known secret:
Connecting
with and Mastering our
feelings is the key to finding happiness and contentment.
Since
my awakening, I have worked closely with thousands of
people exploring the roots of our problems and how to best resolve
them. This journey has lead me to the firm conviction that the deepest
problem is our loss of capacity to FEEL
and understand
and manage
our
feelings in healthy ways.
The problem is that we have grown up in a culture that tells us not to
feel. That feeling is weak and shameful. That being sensitive is a bad
thing. To cheer up if we are feeling down, to calm down if we are
feeling angry and to hold it together if we are feeling scared.
Our
unresolved Emotional
Baggage reeks havoc in our lives!
This
denial and invalidation of our emotional being reeks havoc in our
lives.
Emotions are energy. They move us in our lives. They create the passion
and color and give us essential guidance in making decisions that are
right for us.
When we do repress our feelings we detach from our core connection. We
become disconnected, lose direction and energy and have difficulty
concentrating and connecting with others. Over a lifetime of
disconnecting we lose touch with the vast well of peace, happiness,
love and fulfillment that is our true nature.
Unfelt emotions do not disappear - the energy is real!
What
you don't feel runs
you
Repressed
emotions drive
us and cause:
Restlessness Frustration
Anxiety
Stress
Tiredness
A
host of illnesses
Addictions
Excessive negative thinking
Sleeplessness
Being 'driven' in life
Dissatisfaction
In particular I have come
to realise that it is our unresolved emotions
(what I call rogue emotions) that are a major cause of unhappiness
and failure in life.
That's right: It is
our unresolved emotions that give rise to feelings
or frustration, anxiety, stress and hopelessness.
Rogue emotions drive
thinking which then creates more negative emotions Rogue emotions cause
mental anguish in the form of a constant steam of annoying thoughts Rogue emotions are a
major cause of illness and physical pain in your
body Rogue emotions cause
us to feel stressed and anxious Rogue emotions make
us short tempered, irritable and moody Rogue emotions cause
much relationship disharmony, fights and even
breakdowns Rogue emotions are
the underlying cause of ALL of our addictions Rogue emotions are
tiring Rogue emotions cause
us to be pessimistic, think and feel negatively
about life Rogue emotions cause
self sabotage
The
Good news is:
You

easily and
quickly make a profound shift in your level of inner peace and
happiness and your connection to the core or essence of your being
which is, by nature peaceful, happy, loving and contented.

out into your thinking, actions and the rest of your life.
After opening our hearts we then aspire to live more in balance with
our head and Heart - we call this Heart Centred Living.

your emotional baggage that you have been carrying
