a step forward in my private, professional and spiritual continuum
Mrs. Epstein’s transmission of her late great husband’s teachings were tremendously helpful to me.
Mind-opening, they found me just when I needed them the most to make a step forward in my private, professional and spiritual continuum. I’m purposefully focusing on the practical aspect and outcome of these teachings, to accentuate the actual impact that visual imagery brings (as opposed to what may instinctively come to mind, i.e. imagery, imagination = disconnection from so called real life, etc.). When listening to Rachel’s classes and Jerry’s recordings, I regularly caught myself being “derailed” from what was then my standard line of thought. New, healthier & more beneficial thinking patterns unfolded as a natural consequence. Also, I was finally able to define a new stage of life I was willing to work for.
To this day I cherish the knowledge received from Rachel & Jerry and I hope that more people will be able to draw from this treasure chest of wisdom.
