Watch your thoughts, they become your words.
Watch your words, they become your actions.
Watch your actions, they become your habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, they become your destiny. (saying attributed to Confucius)
When you are stuck in life whether through external circumstances or internal suffering, your destiny can seem unchanging and unchangeable. One’s own perspective of one’s self, one’s habits of mind, personality and unconscious behaviours… these can all seem as mysterious and intractable as the proverbial black box.
With over 40 years’ of clinical experience in treating hundreds of patients every week who are faced with life-threatening illnesses and chronic conditions, Sigong Stanley presents his approach to unlocking the black box, releasing the Unconscious mind from holding patterns that hinder the healing process and helping people change their destinies.
Through lecture, guided exercises and meditation, Sigong will offer practical insight and techniques to transform difficult feelings and mental health issues.
Drawing on the principles of Qigong and Quantum Physics, he will help you harness the neuroplasticity of the mind so you can create the neurophysiological environment that support the habits to change your destiny more to your liking.
This training is appropriate for both self-care and for helping others. Professionals and non-professionals alike are welcome.
