If you penetrate one barrier, there is another.

This reminder is a map of life.  If we consider a challenge, an obstruction, a barrier as a prevention of our destination then it will prevent us moving forward.

By re-framing the barrier into a part of the journey’s map we skip over the disgruntlement, the despair. Instead it’s just part of life to observe and continue moving forward.

Meditation is called “practice” because practice is required daily to train for an awakened existence.

Daily, I must penetrate these barriers, to live the life of liberation.  This is what gets me to my cushion each day…I call it Cushion Wisdom!

I’m on a new path and wanted to thank you! I accepted your challenge of saying the loving kindness meditation 3 times per day on the ‘live on the air’ coaching January 21, 2016. It has helped reframe my perspective and pull up more of my hope and optimism.

MCS continues to complement my journey as a counselor, becoming a coach. This course [The Dynamic Trio] focuses on a new paradigm in human services as well as a new paradigm in consciousness.

I love the capacity to be “unique and whole.” In this course, amidst the trauma of coronavirus, I found it was still possible to listen deeply in the moment. So thank you to this class and the life-giving experiences it offered. The course gave me fresh air for both my mind and body.

All of the courses at the Mindfulness Coaching School take a student deeper into meaningful skills and personal growth. I am not the same person I was when I began this program. As a coach, the school has given me ways to own the skill set needed. As a person, classes like The Art of Engaged Mindfulness deepen my commitment to a lifestyle of awareness and centered gratitude. I am grateful.

Ann-Marie is the most insightful and gifted teacher and coach. She is the epitome of a Compassionate Warrior… She will guide you with a gentle touch and she will hold you in the highest version of yourself so she is brave when “going in” to guide you. I highly recommend any course she teaches.

The Dynamic Trio was an excellent introduction to the EMDR protocol, giving insights to students who were new to the techniques presented, like me, and also to students familiar with EMDR from use in trauma treatment. We got to experience the power of EMDR for coaching ourselves from the instructor’s skillful examples in class with actual student situations presented. I think we were all impressed with the results.

Somatic Coaching with Qigong taught me much more than just how to do the practice itself. It was very insightful and rejuvenating to go through each body system, learn the bright and dark side emotions and feelings that each affect; and how to uplift them. The class expanded my ability to receive (gather) as well as to visualize my body and appreciate it ~ each individual system, major organ and the miracle of its connectivity. At MCS we talk that it all begins with us, and then we can take it out into the world. This class teaches us to recognize our positive energy within as well as that around us from the universe.
