Tape 1 offers a kind of mindfulness meditation that teaches you to allow thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses to move through you as easily as clouds move through the sky. By developing the capacity to shift to a spacious state of mind, your ability to recenter yourself, find the humor in difficult situations, and exercise a greater sense fo internal equilibrium is greatly enhanced. On tape 2, experience the opening of your heart as you explore offering compassion to yourself and others. Through lovingkindness, wish yourself well and send thoughts of good will to others. Discover how living with an open heart actually creates a greater sense of strength, connection,a nd safety in the world, and allows you to move through suffering with greater ease. Tape 3 invites you to develop a dynamic relationship with gratitude and generosity, and increase your experience of abundance in all areas of your life. By tapping into a deeper, collective wisdom about

abundant living, offer yourself the opportunity to discover the true source of supply, the availability of whatever you seek. On tape 4, you

explore and release rules and prohibitions from the past that may have held you back or prevented you from achieving all you have the capacity to create in your life, and offers a way to leave behind old loyalties and messages from the past as you give yourself permission to blossom. Access your optimal future self, the part of you that has expressed your inherent talent and potential. Then, say 'yes' to this self, to all that you have the potential to be.
