I strongly believe that we have learnt many things from childhood which we play all through life, and which need to be unlearned if they are not helping us any more. The innocence and unconditional love for all and for self are to be learnt again, failing which we keep on suffering through life.

What has made me interested in this course is that I have been a teacher for the past 27yrs. I am looking to do something different with my life, my career. I just have this feeling that something else is out there for me to do, I have been in recovery since 1988 and have been searching many years through therapy, workshops, the twelve step programs AA and NA for peace and serenity and to a great extent I have found it. I am not saying that the search is ever over. My dilemma is now what do I want to do with the rest of my life?..

I am a versatile person. Have studied many subjects and deeply interested in human development to optimum potential. I help people during their difficult time by way of providing Astrological guidance and Healing in my own way. I have experienced intuitive incidents. Over all these years, I have found that to resolve problems, a person needs to change his beliefs, attitude and behavour. However, the roots of the beliefs are buried deep within unconscious mind and some special tools are required to address the root causes. So, I wish to learn tested methods to enable me help people in a better way.

Travel I lived in US for about 7 years: 1 year as a nanny, 5 years working as an Environmental Educator in Environmental Learning Centers (great experience that changed my life and my view of life) and as a High School Spanish Teacher (1 year- did not enjoy the experience because I realized the educational system in Spain and US (and probably in a lot of western countries) is not working)
Feel free here to share with us anything about yourself which will help us know and understand you.
Working in Environmental Centers in the US was a life changing experience because after finishing my College Degree I was looking for jobs to work in the 3rd Word Cooperation field in which I had been volunteering during my last year of my college studies. I was always interested in that field and I knew I would never work for a company for a long time, only if I needed it to save some money to do what I really wanted.
I completed my Marketing and Business Administration Degree because my family told me they could not afford to pay for my college degree in Biology in Barcelona (although they paid for both my 2 brothers) so I decided to study a degree that would allow me to get an office job in the mornings to be able to study Biology in the afternoons. Little I knew back then that the job market became so terrible that you were lucky if you were paid full salary for 12 hours workday. I worked in a bank (hate every minute of it but it was “what I was supposed to do according to my parents and my programming” during 3 summers to pay for my tuition and save up to study in Barcelona for my last 2 years with my parent’s help – at that point it was obvious they could help me pay for my degree just like they were doing with my younger brother and did with my older brother. When I finished my college degree I was about to leave to work in a 3rd world country but then I realize that the “problem” was that people here did not want to see how the world works and that we are all responsible of the world situation. I decided to work as a nanny for a year in the US to learn English instead, and after coming back to Spain and seeing that it would be difficult to work on something that was meaningful and I could support myself financially, I looked for internships in the US (my English was not as good as it is back then) and I got an answer out of 70 letters I mailed from a center in MN. I did not think about it twice: took the internship and in January 1998 I was in MN ready and eager to learn about environment, animals, plants , etc. I met “my people”, people who were passionate about nature and advocates of nature, people who enjoyed every minute in nature and have a great respect of each being, human or not.
In 2003, I had to come back because my position along with many others disappeared as a result of a budget cut and I thought “the growing up thing to do” was ” to get a real job” through which I could support myself financially (and own my own apartment, flat, etc.- during my years as an Environmental Education I lived on site, in incredible settings such as near a lake or in an island). Once I finished my Master’s Degree in Spanish Teaching I headed to the US again and worked as a High School Spanish Teacher in VA only to conclude that I did not enjoy teaching in such a formal setting. I came back to the Spain and started working as a civil servant –low entry job after passing some competitive exams and even though I promised myself I would not stay in this job longer and I had a chance to go abroad, I could not get a work leave without losing my job forever. Now I realized I need to follow my path, my inner voice and ignore this “job security” that everyone around me is obsessed about. I am in my way to become a life coach and a nutritionist and have my own “social business” through which I can help people and make the world a better place to be. I would also like to become a Montessori teacher, possibility I looked into before I got my Master’s but I could not afford it at that time. Nowadays internet makes that a real possibility for me that I will pursue in a near future. Childhood is the key to understand our lives and beliefs and has such a great influences on our adult lives!! Just realizing that for me was a great starting point to look a life in a complete different way.

I would like to have studied Psychology so that I know myself better, but I did not. Although I need to communicate and interact with others, it seems that I am only prepared to do this in a safe environment where I don’t feel vulnerable to what I consider to be others’ aggressive attitude, i.e. others being competitive or judgemental, which might make me feel inadequate. There is a part in me which feels under confident and needs to confirm its value. I am rather hard on myself as I don’t allow my heart to be open and feel relaxed because I feel vulnerable. As I cocoon and isolate myself I remain lonely.

Feel free here to share with us anything about your self which will help us know and understand you. I have been a passionate teacher for nearly all my professional life.

I am an introvert personality. Earlier I had difficulty expressing my emotions. Slowly I am learning to express and be open. I am practicing authenticity to best of ability (though I fall short at times).
Usually I am more comfortable being along. I name is as “beautiful loneliness”.
I separated from my parents in Sept. 2012. Now stay alone in a rented room. I work for a pharma company for living.
For me it’s important to understand “why”, before accepting it any ritual/practice.
I would like to reach to a state, where no external stimuli can affect my peace. I wish to be in a state of bliss all the time. I am working towards it daily.
I know, I am too far from destination………..
Life coach training is an important milestone in this journey J!

Travel: Switzerland (my second nationality), several countries in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa.
My Spiritual journey began in 2009 with a major change in my life. Since then, meditation (as taught by Vipassana Goneka school) became a regular practice in my daily life. Thank to that I could see the love and power of “God” transforming myself. However, even if I had big positive changes, I realized that the major problems of my life still there. I confess that for a while I felt betrayed because I thought that God would provide everything I need to be happy. Then I realized that I was limiting God s action through my own mental conditioning.
My purpose in doing this training is to purify myself in order to be a perfect channel for God’ will. I really want to live as a spiritual being on this earth and not struggle with life anymore. I also hope to use this knowledge to help those who want to be free from suffering.
I take this opportunity to apologize for my mistakes in English. I hope you are able to understand me , if not, please let me know.
All my gratitude and love.
