My story
When I took Practical Consciousness Class I & II, my first question was: “WHY isn’t this taught at school?” This knowledge provides reference points for life and affects everything we do. Life does not have to be a rollercoaster ride where successful and unsuccessful choices are half random and are made in moments when you are driven by emotions rather than by reason.
Actually, I wanted to be good.
Cheerful, kind and generous. Someone with whom it would be interesting and pleasant to build a family and to work, as well as to travel and discover the world.
The further life went on, the more this was buried under completely different feelings. Beneath the mask of cheerfulness, worry, sadness and anxiety grew in secret.
Repeating day after day, they had imperceptibly become my everyday companions. The need for control had become habitual. It became harder and harder to concentrate and to see things through to the end. This smoothly turned into laziness and procrastination.
Lacking the freedom and the ability to do the things I enjoyed and wanted to do, I grew more dissatisfied, blaming and criticising others.
Obligations and taking others into account felt like a heavy and inevitable burden.
Actually, I wanted to be good.
My search for myself through various courses and a huge number of books often began with a wow feeling. Messages that awakened strong feelings got underlined and written out. And then it passed, faded, dissipated. On top of that came the difficulties of everyday life – the ones that really bring you to your knees: children’s illnesses, arguments with my partner, worries at work, fatigue. The underlined nuggets of wisdom did not help me cope with any of it.
Until…
In the summer of 2010 I discovered the Practical Consciousness courses. I learned that everything that was causing me problems was happening solely and only inside myself. And then I made the decision that I no longer wanted to suffer. Gradually, but noticeably, as I began using the techniques learned on the course, changes started to happen. There were wonderful recoveries and healings in my family. Relationships became supportive and caring. Demandingness turned into gratitude. The simplicity and lightness of life returned. Four wonderful grandchildren have added joy to my heart.
Actually, I am good.

Merle's students share their experience
“As an instructor, Merle is clear and bright. She is herself focused on continuous development and takes her students along on that journey. The training gave me basic knowledge for understanding my own emotions, thought patterns, fears and nature. Since the training, Merle has brought her students together every month online, and sometimes in person, to help untangle problems that have come up, to bring precision to practising the techniques, and to share new knowledge or experience she has gained in the meantime. This has had an important effect on keeping our practice in focus; in addition, the students have developed a sense of camaraderie and the knowledge that there is someone to lean on when needed. I am grateful.”

“The course led by Merle gave me the knowledge and practical techniques I needed to come out of burnout and to free myself from the need to use both nicotine and alcohol. By applying the techniques from the course every day, I developed the skill to free myself within seconds from emotions that disrupt my life and that I don’t need – right as they arise. I no longer have to suffer under their influence, suppress them, numb them or act them out. I simply release, and I am free. Simple.”
Kristjan Aluoja
“Merle is balanced and has a calm, pleasant tone of voice. She was able to unravel the whole subject step by step; everything was simple, smooth and understandable. She taught me to see how different problems affect my life. I consider the biggest change to be that in difficult situations I no longer get nervous or anxious – I know the techniques and can use them right away. As a result, I am much more balanced and sensible in discussions. My self-confidence has improved and my self-esteem has risen.”
