Beyond Bravery: Svein Harald Røine on Courage, Vulnerability, & Resilience.

In this episode,I had the pleasure of speaking with Connirae Andreas about her groundbreaking work in NLP and core transformation through her innovative wholeness work technique. Connirae shared how this approach, focused on dissolving the ego to unlock profound healing and unity, evolved from her personal journey. We explored the concept of awakening to an undivided presence, highlighting the significance of experiencing this state firsthand rather than merely understanding it intellectually.Throughout our conversation, Connirae illustrated how wholeness work assists individuals in managing anxiety and enhancing overall well-being, emphasizing the transformative power of being present and reshaping personal narratives.She described how this technique has been crucial in managing her nervousness, especially before teaching, and led listeners through an exercise to experience its benefits directly. Our discussion ventured into sensing the self and awareness within one’s environment, which often leads to relaxation, emotional shifts, and a stronger connection with oneself and others.The episode concluded with a preview of continuing our exploration of wholeness work and highlighted additional resources for our listeners, including Connirae's upcoming book and training sessions in Amsterdam. We encourage everyone to explore this transformative practice to foster personal growth and enhance interpersonal relationships.Episode on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/Xi0uczAkBdMTrain with Connirae In Person in Amsterdam: Wholeness Work Levels I - III, 22-29 June, 2024https://wholenesswork.eu/amsterdam/Live Online training here:https://www.andreasnlp.com/trainings/the-wholeness-work/Bio:Connirae Andreas, PhD has been a leading teacher and innovator in the field of NLP for over 4 decades. She is best known for her groundbreaking work developing Core Transformation, a method through which our limitations become the doorway to a felt experience many describe “love” “peace” “presence” or “oneness.” Through the steps of the process, this felt experience offers a profound healing resolving many limiting emotions and behaviors.Connirae’s new Wholeness Work begins by offering a precise way to experience “dissolving the ego,” in a way that releases stress and resolves many life issues. This new work then guides us in finding the universal structures of the unconscious that hold problems in place—and offers specific formats to transform each of them.
