In dealing with things that have been coming up in life, I’ve been seeing patterns and using what we've been learning from the modules. Because of the practices that I've been doing it feels like I'm gaining a certain confidence and a certain feeling that it's a foundation there, for me now when different things come up. So I found that very helpful. It does feel like I'm approaching those challenges in a different way than I would have six months ago.

In our meetings, listening to other people share their stories, I feel a nourishing energy from that. We're sharing our humanity. We're sharing ourselves with other human beings, and there's something in that act of sharing itself that is nourishing.

As I reflect on my experience with Awaken Authentic, I am filled with gratitude and inspiration. 
We started out on this journey and I wasn't sure what it was, what to expect or where it was going. And it was such a wonderful journey to go on. And all the pieces matter: the modules, the meditations, the meetings. They were all so important.

Philippe has created a series of modules that navigated me through things I didn’t even realize were in my way, but most definitely were. Patterns I developed as a child, through my youth and my entire outward journey, were identified, acknowledged and accepted so that I could continue this return journey without the weight of those holding me back. It’s so helpful, even just in the middle of chaos to have an opportunity to be able to identify something as just a pattern. And it it's incredible what that can do. It just takes so much out of it. 

The group dynamic was incredible. It was so helpful to uncover and explore my patterns with a group of like-minded individuals. To also know that your struggles aren't just yours, that other people have struggles. It's like touching humanity in a way that you don't necessarily get to do day-to-day and it's been incredibly informative. The contributions of all the group members was inspiring and motivated me to continue along the path of the modules. 

It is such a gift to have encouraged the awakening of the authentic in me, and I’m so glad to have been able to have participated in this session.  I can lean on the skills we developed to navigate any patterns - past or present - that get in my way of finding my authentic Self.  Thank you!

I want to say thank you and thank you and thank you again for offering this program at the time that you did. It was perfect timing for me. 

I am relying very deeply on all of the things I have been learning with you on this journey. This is possibly one of the most challenging times of my life. I don't think I could have gone through the changes I've been through lately without this group or without this program or without the amazing meditation practices that have really pulled me out of a place within myself that I really needed help to walk out of. It was really sink or swim for a little while there for me, and just being able to just say that in a safe space and know that you all understood, it's just one of those really valuable experiences in life.

I connected with the root I always knew was there, but now I'm actually exercising it more and it's just fantastic. It's not like the fear isn't there anymore. I just have more confidence in my ability to face the challenges.

And it all came about because of the creation of this program, and I'm so thankful for this whole experience. I won't be the same person in the future because of this program. It's just been so helpful. And I'm so very grateful.

I do really appreciate this this course This process is giving me a road map, just like you said initially. Now I know there's a path and I see it and something that's happened for me is that this has helped me be easier on myself. I'm allowing myself to be to be more patient with myself. And it's been huge, that's created a huge shift for me.

I'm making decisions and I'm following through in the decisions to take on less work, reducing and reorganizing to have other people do more stuff for me[PI1] . And I'm making decisions to do things that create more joy in my life, which is really nice. That's a great shift. Basically, doing more things for me.

I'm putting my energy to where it needs to go right now and not getting sucked into the workload at my job. There’s also lots going on, on the home front that needs attention and love, and I just feel a little more balanced. I know that this scenario of intense amount of work, with things going on at home, that this is the type of thing that could have just thrown me off my rocker in the in the past. So I just feel a lot more centered and tuned in.

I got quite a bit from it. Now, when things start to get overwhelming or stressful, practicing a grounding meditation makes a world of difference in how I cope with the scenario. 

I've also used the meditations to help my inward focus to do a self-check-in to see how I'm doing. To actually listen to my heart and what it's trying to tell me. Acceptance of the message is still sometimes a challenge, but that's coming along 😊 

Although the anxiety and moments of deep sadness are still there in my life, I'm certainly better able to manage them with these tools in my toolbox. Being able to use meditation and accept how I feel has led to a more genuine and honest me. Through practice, I've been more honest with those around me (for better or worse!), which I'm learning, leads to a calmer self, which is so nice!
