INTENTION
“A fundamental characteristic of intention is clarity – to be completely clear on who we want to be, what we want to experience, and the actions and results that flow from that.”
David B. Wolf
FEAR TO CONFIDENCE
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
ATTITUDE OF COMPASSION
“…more important than any words we use is our attitude. If our attitude is not one of compassion, then whatever we say will be experienced by the child as phony or manipulative. It is when our words are infused with our real feeling of empathy that they speak directly to the child’s heart.”
Faber & Mazlish
FROM DIANE
“Now i see that it’s not enough just to care about the other person. To be a good helper requires real work, thoughtfulness and knowledge. I feel greatly benefited from taking the course and feel confident that the effect will begin to snowball as I continue practicing what I’ve learned. In particular, I feel an increased awareness of how to communicate more effectively and how to be a real helper to another person. Besides all the helpful skills I learned and increased awareness I experienced, I had a lot of fun! The loving mood of our group and our growing experiences together made me wish it would never end. Keep teaching the course!”
Diane Consbruck, Homemaker
EXPECTATIONS
Excerpt From A Coaching Letter Written By David B Wolf
… To grow we want to challenge ourselves, to play a big game with our lives. This entails expecting a lot of ourselves. These expectations, transformed into practical and grounded commitments, drive us forward to satisfying accomplishments and internal development. I guess the downside of expectations is if we become emotionally attached to them. Emotional attachment to expectations can form a sort of self-imposed prison of disappointment, sadness, discouragement, etc. If we find that we don’t meet our expectations, that is an opportunity for a wonderful learning experience. There is a cycle- commit, act, learn. Whether we succeed to fulfill our expectations or not, we can definitely succeed in creating a valuable learning experience, if we approach life from a perspective of discovery and opportunity. Of course, such an approach is not meant to minimize the full intention we apply to our commitment to achieve and surpass expectations. So, this approach of learning from each experience is distinct from the stance of emotional attachment to expectations. If we are emotionally attached, then if we fall short we may descend into grungy states of guilt, inadequacy, etc., instead of positively and constructively learning from the situation…
From Jahnava
“… After the seminar, I feel more aware of who I am, more conscious of the way I behave, of the way I interact with others, and less in need of pretending something about me in order to get approval from others.”

From Manjari
“… In the course I really plugged into my true, genuine being, and the courage and self-respect to express myself and BE myself, whatever that may be. It’s still a work in progress, but I know now that I have the tools and experiences necessary to keep that going in my life. Thanks Satvatove.”

Experience Of The Soul
“There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of the truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.”
Arnold Bennett
From David Musterer
“I found that the course was a very valuable experience. I feel I benefited greatly. Communication with my children has already improved dramatically. My limited perspective has also become apparent as well as the means to broaden it.”
David Musterer
