THE ECSTASY OF BEING ME

If you’re not being yourself, you’re lying.

On this weekend with Gaia & John in the Being Me capital of the UK, Brighton,
you’ll discover the joy and delight of Being Fully You.

And the truth is that, if we’re not being fully ourselves,
we’re lying.

Sure, you might not be intending to lie.

But, by not living from the truth of you,
you are lying.

In brief, here’s why we tend to end up not being ourselves,
of not telling our truth…
when we’re young, and we don’t get what we need in terms of nurturing, love and attention (which most of us don’t),
we learn to ‘adapt’, either to try to get what we need, or to compensate for not getting it.
And these ‘adaptive behaviours’ stick with us throughout our lives, until…
We realise and understand what has happened and begin to be ourselves again.

Until then, we end up, effectively lying –

With Gaia & John, this is what you’ll learn and do on this rare weekend –

* You’ll learn about the psychological background to the adaptive character traits *

* You’ll do exercises that show the difference in strength in your body when you’re adaptive compared to when you are being true *

* You’ll go through Gaia’s full ‘Being Me Butterfly Model’, with a variety of group exercises, that allow you to feel the ‘flying’ that can take place from ‘Being Me’ (rather than the ‘lying’) *

* You’ll discover how you can rapidly apply your new awareness of what it means to be yourself in your daily life *

So that, with a mixture of teaching (the psychology), workshop exercises, Qigong and a whole range of magical indescribable stuff, Gaia & John will guide you to what it’s like to be Fully You, and how to be yourself every day to the point where issues simply fade away (because so many issues are related to not being ourselves).

And if you want to really get the message about the Truth of Being You,
compared to the lie of not, watch this –
