Presence and mindfulness are more than just ‘nice ideas’. They’re the essence of the spiritual path and the key to the inner-peace and psychological ease and wellbeing we’ve all been searching for. However, most of us struggle to be ‘present’ for more than just a few minutes at a time.
This podcast introduces you to ‘The Psychological Switch’ - a new paradigm of personal development and inner change-work that offers hope, and the promise of lasting transformation, to anyone who has been seeking the benefits of mindfulness, CBT, NLP, emotional release techniques and other forms of self-help.
The Psychological Switch leads us to naturally develop more presence and a deeper level of presence, along with many of the virtues we all wish to see in ourselves and others. Instead of trying to ‘force’ our minds to be present, this approach leads us to eliminate the source of the noise, clutter and insecurity that distracts the mind from its natural state of presence.
This leads us into more clarity, confidence and psychological freedom than we’ve ever known. This changed my life beyond imagination. My hope is that The Psychological Switch - based on the teachings of Sydney Banks and his student, Dr Keith Blevens PhD - will have a similar, or even deeper impact on you.
