Most people never learn how to work with emotions at home or in school Raphael Cushnir
Almost always, what prevents you from manifesting your greatest life vision is a reservoir of unfelt emotion, either because you can’t identify it or you don’t know how you feel. Resisting unfelt emotion sabotages prayer, affirmations, or any other personal growth technique you use to effect change.
Finding, feeling, and expressing emotion
infuses your mission with Spirit and makes you truly unstoppable.
It’s simple, but most people never learn precisely how to work with it—not at home, school, or even in therapy.
Fulfill your personal and spiritual potential and radiate compassionate joy. Overcome struggles in any area of your life. Join Raphael Cushnir, bestselling author of How Now, in using his dynamic and extraordinarily meaningful experiential processes to get to the core of your authenticity.
Raphael has pioneered a method of emotional connection that is fast, simple, and life-changing.
Grounded in both contemporary neuroscience and the great wisdom traditions, it can be used in any situation, especially when you feel triggered. You can use this emotional connection to overcome lifelong struggles with career, family, relationships, weight, self-esteem, and addiction. Fall in love with every moment of your life creating the kind of personal accomplishment you have been desired. Heal your deepest wounds and cultivate authenticity with your new-found emotional understanding and expression. Space limited, register early.

What Brings You the Most Joy?
Joy is not just an end in itself, but also a fuel for all your activities. Don’t fall into the trap of considering joy an indulgence, or a threat to all the less joyful tasks that require your attention. Instead, give yourself time to reminisce and daydream until you’ve identified what reliably provides you with the most energy, excitement, well-being and good will. Then, put the weekly experience of at least one of those pursuits on the top of your to-do list. Watch how this increases your insight and effectiveness, making even the most difficult duties much easier to accomplish.
Which Emotions Are You Afraid to Feel?
When we fear an emotion, we avoid the people and situations that tend to bring it about. But those same people and situations provide exactly what we need to heal and grow. If we're afraid to feel failure, we won't take chances. If we're afraid to feel rejection, we won't love fully. If we're afraid to feel anger, we won't stand up for ourselves. Think of the people and situations that you typically avoid. How do they make you feel? Learning to experience these scary emotions skillfully, without resistance or reactivity, is a sure-fire path to fulfillment.
