Thank you so much for your interest!

The Heal Your Life® training is a powerful program for helping you to add skills to an existing career or start an entirely new one! We hope you can join us in 2012.

Patricia had the privilege of studying personally with Louise Hay for several years, and was chosen by Louise to lead the Love Yourself, Heal Your Life® workshop. This evolved into the current training program. This training is authorized by Hay House, Inc., and approved by Louise.

Heal Your Life® is now a registered trademark worldwide by Hay House, so anyone using it must be authorized by Hay House, Inc., or our company. If you’d like to see a short video about how Patricia met Louise, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dmF7ciw_bA

Before The Secret and Law of Attraction became household words, Louise Hay was teaching people to clear the past and manifest the life they wanted. What is unique about Louise’s work is the way she combines the spiritual, mental and emotional aspects into powerful processes for positive life changes.

We regularly offer informational teleconferences about the US trainings. Below are mp3 links for two of those calls.  On the calls, Rick and Patricia share their backgrounds, how the Heal Your Life® training started, and answer your questions-

LICENSING AGREEMENT WITH HAY HOUSE, INC.
Hay House, Inc., has trademarked the term Heal Your Life®, and so in order for our trainees to use it, we have entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with them. At the training, you will be asked to sign a workshop leader agreement. We will explain the agreement at the training. There is a $99 yearly licensing fee which is discounted $49 your first year (US only). You are also required to obtain professional liability insurance. In the US and Canada , our company has purchased a group policy. For other countries we have recommended sources.

We are fortunate to be living in a time where this discovery is spreading into the mainstream. The philosophies of authors like Louise L. Hay, Deepak Chopra, and Shakti Gawain have changed the lives of millions of people worldwide. Louise’s best-selling book, “You Can Heal Your Life,” has been translated into twenty-three languages. However, there is still a great deal of work to do. Reading a book and EXPERIENCING the work are two different things! If you have a desire to help people EXPERIENCE the work, this training is ideal for you. With all the focus recently on the Law of Attraction and ‘The Secret,’ this is a perfect time to become a Heal Your Life® workshop leader. The Heal Your Life® concepts take assist people in truly  healing their past so they can APPLY ‘the secret’ in their lives. PLUS with the movie of Louise’s life just out, there is an increased interest in her work.

Last year we held two ‘Ask Patricia and Rick’ teleconferences, answering questions about applying the secret to your life. To listen, go to: http://www.heartinspired.com/MP3/ask.mp3 and  http://www.heartinspired.com/MP3/ask2.mp3

Although there are no formal requirements for a background in counseling or leading groups, you are expected to be very familiar with the ideas in the books of Louise Hay, be using them in your own life with positive results, and have a strong desire to share these ideas with others. This course will be an intensive experience for your personal growth as well as developing the knowledge and skills you need for leading courses. You will receive in-depth training in life transforming techniques and opportunities for practicing your skills. Come prepared for transformation!

Who attends the training?
People from many different careers and backgrounds have attended the training: massage therapists, counselors, hairdressers, yoga teachers, Reiki practitioners, hypnotherapists, social workers.. and the list goes on! More important than your current career is your commitment to helping people heal their lives. If you are practicing mental and spiritual principles in your own life (in Louise Hays’ book, You Can Heal Your Life), experiencing positive results, and have a deep desire to be of service, you are eligible to attend this training. The small group size (30 to 40 participants) offers an excellent environment for learning. We are happy to speak with you about how this program will benefit you personally and professionally, so please feel free to call us at (800) 969-4584 in the US or Canada or (760) 728-8783 from elsewhere or email us with any questions!

“I have been to numerous leader workshops and seminars but all pale in comparison to the leadership I learned here. The healing that transpired within me and everyone in the room was simply amazing and our universe is a much better place for the teachings, guidance, wisdom and inspiration of Patricia and Rick. It has been the most incredible week of my life.” – Jessica Smith , Lexington , KY

(Please see below for more testimonials or go to:
http://www.aydteachers.com/testimonials.htm. Listen to my interview with one of the Heal Your Life® teachers.)

What can I earn by leading the workshops?
In the manuals, we recommend that the charge for the 2 day workshop be from $249 to $395US and the charge for the 10 week group be $300. So if you had 10 people in your first 10 week group, you would earn $3,000 minus any costs for advertising or renting a room. There are also recommended fees for one day and 3 hour workshops. Once you register for the training, we can also give you some ideas about how to set up workshops before you even attend the training! Of course, earnings vary from person to person, depending on how often they give workshops and how many people sign up.

The course includes the following:
In the personal healing section, you will experience inner child work, releasing old patterns, meditation, and other release techniques, plus using affirmations and visualizations to create what you want in your life. In the workshop leader section, you will receive two complete workshop leader manuals, have an opportunity to practice with them, develop your own personal vision for your work, and learn about marketing techniques. After licensing, you will be listed on the Heal Your Life Workshop Leader website, AND we follow-up after the workshop to assist you as you set up courses. Check out other residential courses- you won’t find anything that compares to this value. If you have any questions, please contact us via email, telephone or regular mail, listed below. Please read on!

Today I am ready to claim my magnificence! I know that I have a unique place on the planet and a unique contribution to make. I am in the process of becoming the masterpiece I was meant to be. In that process, I am willing to lovingly embrace ALL parts of myself. My masterpiece is already in consciousness, and now the brushstrokes of my life are filling it in. I feel vibrant, alive, enthusiastic, loving, and joyous! My joy is contagious. I support myself in my magnificent blossoming and I support others as well. I know that I am responsible for creating my life in the way I desire, and others are responsible for theirs.

My birthright is to enjoy harmonious relationships, unlimited prosperity, vibrant health, work that I love, and an abundance of happiness. I lovingly notice any limiting thoughts that are not in alignment with my birthright and gently weed them from my inner garden. I forgive the past, allow the present, and trust the future.

I am committed to claiming and expressing the magnificent being that I am!

Teachings of Abraham®

Once upon a time. . .

 … there was a king who ruled a small kingdom. The only remarkable thing about the kingdom was a great perfect diamond that had been in the royal family for generations. The diamond was kept on public display and people came from far and wide to admire and gaze at it . . .

. . . Then one day a soldier came and told the king that although no one had touched it, for it was guarded night and day, the diamond was cracked.

Immediately the king summoned all the jewelers of the land; one after another they inspected the diamond. To the great sadness of everyone all the jewelers came to the same conclusion – the diamond was useless; irredeemably flawed.

Then out of nowhere there came an old man who claimed to be a jeweler. He asked to see the diamond. After examining it he looked up, and confidently told the king, “I can fix it. In fact I can make it better than it was before. Give me a week and I’ll have it done.” The king was leery, but he gave the old man a room in the castle along with all the tools, food and drink he needed. It was a long week . . .

At the end of the week the old man appeared and put the stone in the king’s hand. The king couldn’t believe his eyes. It was magnificent! The old man had fixed it and made it even better than before. He had used the crack that ran through the middle of the stone as a stem and carved an intricate full-blown rose, complete with thorns and leaves. It was exquisite.

The king was so overjoyed that he offered the old man half his kingdom. He had taken the flawed, useless stone and made it a priceless thing of beauty. But the old man refused in front of everyone saying, “All I did was give a little love, care and attention to something that was wounded and cracked at its heart. The radiance and beauty was always there, it was just hidden by an apparent flaw.”

~Megan McKenna in “Parables”
Quoted in Spiritual Literacy
Edited by: Federic and Mary Ann Burssat

Isn’t it interesting how our flaws and brokenness become the raw materials that draw forth our true beauty? I can think back on my own life and remember a number of occasions when I felt particularly “broken and flawed” and someone appeared “out of nowhere” offering a little love, care and attention; drawing out the beauty and value that was always there. Each of these experiences was  a transformational turning points, but the most profound of all these experiences was the one when “I” showed up, out of nowhere, giving myself the love, care and attention I needed.

When we love and care for ourselves with all of our flaws and fractures, doing the same for others becomes a natural way of living. Love can truly heal the world and then all of life is a joy.

By: Rick Nichols

Your “dark side” doesn’t have to be a scary place. And if it is, learning how to throw a little light on it will bring calm and confidence like you’ve not known before.

“So I find myself in my fifty-seventh year, circling the house of my personality with a six cell flashlight, exploring the shadows around the bushes, in the corners, and behind the steps. There are a few bogeymen hidden there, and I don’t plan to invite them out to play. But they are less scary with the light on them than when they are half-hidden. And then, behind an occasional bush, or halfway between the house and garage, my light picks up the hidden figure of wisdom, of energy, of life. The search is worthwhile. I wonder why I didn’t begin it earlier.”
~John Cowan in The Common Table

I gotta tell ya, I really related to that little passage.

I spent most of my life not having a clue as to what my inner landscape looked like, or even knowing there was one. Although I think, in the way-back of my mind, I was planning an excursion through that dark side of the mysterious forest on some tomorrow or another.

I guess I kept stalling on it for fear of what I might discover: Lions and tigers and bears – oh-my!

Then, while fumbling through my 45th year I stumbled on to an interesting saying, “The point of power is in the present moment.” That led me down a pathway which opened a door on  a book: You Can Heal Your Life, by Louise Hay, which led to an intensive on Louise’ s philosophy, which turned out to be an expertly guided tour of my internal universe. Oh-my!

There were lions and tigers and bears, and-more. Through the process though, I have managed to tame the worst of them. They now reside happily in an internal petting zoo that is quite an interesting place to visit on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

If you’ve been thinking about an inner journey of self-discovery there is room for you in our Heal Your Life Men’s Retreat starting 17 July at Kippure Estate near Dublin Ireland.

Join us on the “Emerald Isle” for your own adventure into self-discovery. Click Here for all the details.

Dissolve your dark side by shining you light upon it

Heal Your Life ® Tips 

The work of Louise Hay has transformed the lives of millions!

Here are some life-changing tips for YOUR life! 

1. Be willing to love and accept yourself – no matter what! You don’t need to lose the weight, have the relationship, or anything else first. Start NOW.

2. Pay attention to your thoughts. If your thoughts create your future (and we believe they do!) – are your “typical” thoughts during the day the ones you really want to be thinking? Change them.

3. Learn to create and use powerful affirmations to focus on what you DO want in your life.

4. Nurture your Inner Child. Talk to him and her with encouraging words and positive messages.

5. Be willing to change. Our egos tends to hang on to “the way things are.” Trust yourself and Spirit as you change.

6. Meditate on a regular basis. This will help you listen to your inner guidance.

7. Listen to your body’s messages. They will give you vital clues about the emotions affecting you.

8. Honor your emotions, but don’t get stuck in them. Release anger, resentment, and guilt.

9. Forgive the past and free yourself from bondage.

10. Love yourself for the unique and magnificent being you are.
