We’ve all outgrown childhood pains. We’ve gained experience and understanding that enables us to let go of what bothered us in the past. We’re bigger and wiser now!
Similarly, our current challenges will be resolvable in time to come. Eventually we’ll reach the light at the end of the tunnel…
Imagine you could already know now what you will know in the future…
What would it be like to face any present issue with the awareness that has already resolved it?
In this ASE training video, Jevon Dangeli teaches a Progression technique and describes how you can transcend the experience of time metaphorically in order to gain useful insights from your Future Self.
This approach is effective at helping individuals deal with indecision, procrastination, dilemmas and feelings of being stuck or trapped. Continue Reading
The light at the end of the tunnel is within reach!
In this video Jevon Dängeli introduces his research in “peripheral awareness” (aka Open Awareness).
Peripheral awareness has been found to enhance one’s level of well-being, resourcefulness and mindful resilience, as well as evoke particular transpersonal phenomena – which are outlined in this presentation.
The presentation includes an introduction to the research methods used, preliminary results and the potential implications of these results in terms of stress management, burnout prevention and psychological health.

Becoming “Bodyful” is Beautiful.
In this audio recording (19 min) of a live session at an Authentic Self Empowerment Facilitator Training, Jevon guides you through the ASE “Bodyfulness” process (which is a version of the open awareness approach).
This session helps you to embody a mindful perspective and cultivate an expanded self awareness to the point where there are no barriers and no resistance to experiencing the present moment fully from an integrated point of view.
Expanding the sense of self in the way it is facilitated in this recording results in a broader perspective of oneself in relation to the events in one’s life (past, present and future) which in turn promotes healing and transformation.

What is Bodyfulness?
Bodyfulness is a word used to appeal to those who have been misdirected by a distorted concept of mind – in order to offer them the embodied experience of mindfulness (as in the recording above).
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is body-centred (not self-centred) awareness. Experiencing the present moment somatically promotes the actualisation of one’s Authentic Self – from which insight, emotional freedom and compassion arises.
Experience Your Self Beyond Limits

Watch a free training video where Jevon describes how our minds (and lives) are controlled by our conditioned conception of time and space – and learn a way in which we can achieve the subjective experience of transcending time and space in order to establish a level of awareness that is less conditioned and therefore more authentic.
In the following three part article I will introduce three types of mindful communication and one key factor inherent in each of them.
‘Mindless‘ communication plays a crucial role in our personal problems, interpersonal conflicts and global crises. On the other hand, ‘mindful‘ communication is effective at cultivating understanding, rapport, trust and responsiveness – which are valuable attributes in any relationship, business, leadership and negotiation, as well as in wholesome parenting, teaching, training, mentoring, coaching and counselling.
Mindful Communication means listening and speaking with compassion and kindness while holding a specific type of awareness. The means to achieve this and the value of that ‘special’ awareness are outlined within the descriptions of the three types of mindful communication in the links below —
- Mindful Communication type 1 – Intrapersonal (interacting with self).
.
- Mindful Communication type 2 – Interpersonal (interacting with others).
.
- Mindful Communication type 3 – Transpersonal (interacting with subtle realms)
Does that monkey in your mind run away with your thoughts?
You’re not alone! We all have that ‘mindless monkey business’ going on in our heads. If you feed it, it will stick around, if you do what I explain below, that monkey will pack its bags and go.
If you’re like most of us, you’ve probably noticed that as you go through life, your mind often engages in a continual stream of internal chatter, known as self-talk. It’s like having an internal narrator commenting on all your thoughts. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this, especially when your self-talk is positive and supportive. Other times though, like when you’re under stress, your self-talk just adds fuel to the fire.
Have you ever talked to yourself and made yourself feel worse than you were already feeling?
Do runaway thoughts keep you awake at night?
This is the type of self-talk you probably want to eliminate.
Here’s how…

The only way other people, including our family and friends exist for us is through our perceptions. Our perceptions determine our motivations and behaviours. Our behaviour influences the behaviour of those with whom we interact, which in turn influences our perception about them. And so the cycle goes… In other words, the way in which people behave validates our perception of them and so we always get to be right in our opinion about them. On this basis then, our perceptions become self-fulfilling prophecies that keep recycling in our life. Continue Reading
Those in the therapy, coaching, counselling, mentoring, teaching and training professions as well as any occupation that involves a leadership role, including parenting, would do well to hone this type of mindful communication.
There is more to what we think (and believe) we are. We are like waves on the surface of the ocean, no two are the same, yet all come from the same source. This more intrinsic and transpersonal level of our human nature ‘speaks for itself’. Through first accessing this core part of ourselves and then allowing it to be expressed naturally, our communication becomes clear and congruent, we speak with confidence and relate to others with compassion. Continue Reading
Do you suffer from taking things personally and getting offended?
Taking things personally usually means that our ego has been hurt or aggravated. Being offended in such a way causes us to react unresourcefully or destructively – making matters even worse.
Imagine being unaffected by other people’s condescending words or corruptive actions… This doesn’t mean being passive or controlling your emotions to avoid confrontation. It means having a natural reflex that enables you to see the ‘bigger picture’ and to be the ‘bigger person’ in challenging situations. I refer to this as opening the aperture of your awareness.
Opening the aperture of your awareness is the process of becoming aware of your thought stream, without being washed away by it, and in that ‘spacious perception’ finding clarity, creativity, courage and choice. Continue Reading
Resilience without mindfulness is a production robot approach – it may be effective in one area for a limited period, but sooner or later it will break down or cause damage.
Rather than perceiving mental and emotional states as fixed, the mindful approach identifies their impermanent nature and treats them as transitory phenomena (1, 2). Mindfulness elevates one’s physical, psychological and social well-being, while counteracting the effect of stressors that can lead to burnout, through enhancing one’s resilience. (3, 4).

Talent is the unique expression of each individual’s Authentic Self, thus everyone has talent.
.
Don’t waste your time trying to be like others, rather invest your energy in activating who you already are.
.
The Authentic Self is that realm of awareness within each person where talent originates. In order to discover and use our talents, we must look within and allow that which we already are to be awakened and articulated. We all have latent talents that can be unveiled and expressed in enterprising and creative ways. Every conscious human being can learn to do this! Continue Reading
This article outlines how the quality (aperture) of one’s awareness influences their present attitudes and aptitudes. It also points out how a particular way of shifting one’s awareness can bring about an immediate change in how one experiences themselves and their current circumstances. Continue Reading
