Dear Fellow Seeker,

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

Relationship conflicts     Self Sabotage     Poor Concentration

Self Criticism     Poor self esteem     Low self confidence

Rogue Emotions

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 can fairly 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.

As you reconnect with your "Heart Qualities" they will begin to flow 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.

And the key is:

You need to resolve your emotional baggage that you have been carrying around for years - and yes that is tiring!

The Keys to Mastering your emotions are taught at Passionately Alive.

In just 3 and a half days you can release amazing amounts of negative emotions and learn simple yet life changing skills and practices that will bring more joy and ease and success into everything that you do.

I know this because I have been practicing and teaching this material for over 20 years!

A little background...

There is mounting evidence to suggest that our feelings play a major role in our level of success, harmonious relationships, health and happiness. When the heart and mind function in synchronization we feel at peace, perform at our peak, relate to others in a meaningful way and experience better health and well being.

Passionately Alive has been running for 10 years now. Passionately Alive helps people to put the past to rest and move forward. It gives them a greater self understanding and hence greater self assurance, creativity and positive outlook on life.

It teaches skills for improving self image, relationships, health and enthusiasm for life. These skills are not taught in school and we suffer unnecessarily because we do not know how to cope with life. The skills are simple and easily learnt and will show you another dimension to your life.

We have a proven system, guaranteed to help you clear the road blocks to your success and happiness...

Over the 20 years I have been teaching this information, thousands of people have benefited from developing their Emotional Intelligence skills.

Break free from the chains holding you back...

      and move straight forward into

           a life of more happiness and success
