With the Emotional Awareness Course, students learn to develop Emotional Awareness and Use Their Emotions to Grow Spiritually.

Your emotions are messages from your soul. Are you listening? Do you know how?

You cannot choose which emotion you will feel next. But you can always choose how you will respond to it when it comes.

Your choices create your experiences - moment by moment.

That is why emotional awareness is essential to spiritual growth and human evolution. Emotional awareness allows you to take responsibility for the experiences you are creating in you life.

Many people choose to disconnect from others, lose themselves in work, or seek someone to make them feel whole when they encounter a painful emotion.

But others choose differently - to use emotional awareness to experience that painful emotion intimately and use responsible choice to move beyond it’s control of them.

Until you develop the ability to fully experience your emotions, you cannot use your emotions as they were designed to be used.

This course is for people who…

≫ Feel unfulfilled or find that moments of happiness are fleeting

≫ Repeatedly react to situations that trigger strong emotions

≫ Feel as if life is always happening to them rather than being an active participant

≫ Experience anger or frustration toward themselves or others

≫ Struggle with painful emotions, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or addictions

≫ Feel superior or inferior to others

≫ Criticize themselves for not being enough or not “doing it right”

≫ Lack confidence, struggle to say “yes” or “no,” or try to please others at their own expense

≫ Feel the need to be either the life of the party or invisible

≫ Avoid conflict or shy away from painful emotions

Every painful emotion originates in fear

Each painful emotion reflects a frightened part of the personality.

These frightened parts are not obstacles to spiritual growth - they are pathways to it. Yet for many people, facing a painful emotion can feel impossible. The key to learning from emotions lies in becoming aware of them.

Painful emotions cannot be masked.
Painful emotions cannot be avoided.

When people develop emotional awareness, they gain the power to respond with love instead of react from fear —- transforming their every emotional experience into an opportunity for growth.

When people seek to create authentic power, their emotions become powerful guides on the path of self-discovery.

Emotional Awareness: Messages From Your Soul is a 33 module online course that leads participants step by step to develop emotional awareness and integrate it into daily life through guidance, immersive exercises, and practical tools. This course can be accessed easily on any computer or mobile device.

Emotional Awareness: Messages From Your Soul is based on the book,The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness, by Gary Zukav and Linda Francis – a New York Times Bestseller that has supported millions in creating authentic power.

Emotional Awareness allows people to choose love all the time no matter what they are experiencing. That is authentic power.

The Emotional Awareness Course

Supports Your Spiritual Journey Through:

Teachings

Participants learn directly from Gary Zukav and Linda Francis through inspiring audio and video sessions focused on developing emotional awareness and applying it in daily life. These teachings provide practical wisdom for living with greater authenticity, purpose, and love.

Reflections

Individuals are invited to explore the nature of their own psyche and to understand why they sometimes react from fear and sometimes respond from love. Through this exploration, they begin creating lives of connection, meaning, compassion, and joy — rather than anger, anxiety, frustration, and fear.

Exercises

Learners are shown how to bring the lessons into their own experiences, observing how awareness transforms their inner and outer worlds. A central theme of the course is noticing physical sensations in order to move beyond the control of painful emotions, enabling them to create authentic power with conscious choice.

When people learn to recognize their emotions — and cultivate loving parts of their personalities and challenge frightened parts of their personalities —they begin to:

Create authentic power and share the unique gifts they were born to give.

Respond consciously with love instead of reacting unconsciously with fear, shaping the lives they truly wish to live.

Recognize each emotion as a meaningful message from the soul.

Act from the loving parts of their personality that bring joy, becoming more compassionate friends, children, parents, and colleagues.

Align their personality with their soul, creating from love and trust rather than fear and doubt — the essence of authentic power.
