"I very highly recommend this course to anyone - whether one wishes to change their own life or to help others as a coach"
After the COVID shutdown in the U.S., I found that my blood pressure and cholesterol levels were going up, as was my anxiety. I realized I needed to step up my plan for living more healthily and let go of the things that were feeding into my fears. I also wanted to be more present and engaged with other people. In my work as an educational psychologist, I had been more focused on solving problems intellectually than on listening carefully to the needs and desires of the people with whom I worked.
I have been enriched physically, mentally, and spiritually by taking the HoloBody certification course. Although I felt that I knew a lot previously about eating healthily and some about exercise, I now have a more solid understanding from Ronan's clear and inspiring exposition of healthy actions we can take. I very much enjoy my new strength training two or three times a week and have taken my other fitness and healthy eating to a higher level in a natural and comfortable way. My blood pressure is in the normal range, and I suspect my cholesterol levels should be fine when I have them tested again. I also lost around 10 pounds.
Vishen's 6-Phase Meditation or another meditation practice is now a part of my daily routine, helping me to let go of some things and replace them with healthier alternatives. Ajit's and Fran's emphasis on being present in our conversations with people and the chance to practice presence in the pods has given me confidence in my growing ability to "be here" with people in conversations in and out of work.
The people of our world desperately need the information and skills that are taught in this course. I very highly recommend this course to anyone - whether one wishes to change their own life or to help others as a coach.
