The journey to oneself
IT/SAP specialist
My story
Tarvo was sitting in an IT college, about to take a theoretical mathematics test, when he was struck by a strong realisation that none of this was for him. He looked at the people around him, stood up, handed in a blank sheet of paper and left. Was it defiance against getting caught in the rat race, or a fear of superficiality and mediocrity? At that moment he only knew what he did NOT want. But what did he want? That was something he would have to start searching for.
First he began reading various self-help books. Tarvo was looking for a holistic system that would embrace the whole of life – one that would include spirituality, health, the physical body, relationships and finances. And so, in small bites, he began gaining various insights and experiences in life. For example, while doing the Five Tibetans exercises and separating himself from physical pain, he came to understand that he is not only a physical body. While writing his first book, he noticed disturbing emotions that kept him from concentrating on his writing. On one particularly difficult morning, full of negativity and dissatisfaction, he truly understood for the first time that the thoughts in his head are not him. All of this led to the discovery of how it is possible to recognise that there is a physical body, various emotions and thoughts, while not losing or forgetting oneself in the process.
In the course of his search, Tarvo had come to Lilleoru and its activities several times. Over the years ever deeper questions arose, and it became increasingly difficult to find answers to them – questions such as “Who am I?” and “Why do things happen the way they do?” And so he finally found his way to Ingvar Villido’s courses.
In April 2015, Tarvo took part in Practical Consciousness Class I & II. Having previously read a vast amount of spiritual literature and attended world-famous trainings such as Unleash the Power Within, Train the Trainer and other Edu Akadeemia and Success Resources courses, Tarvo could not believe that right here in Estonia there was a man who, within the first two hours, spoke so simply and systematically about everything Tarvo had experienced in random bites over the years. In just over half a year, Tarvo completed all five Practical Consciousness classes and replaced the practices he had been using until then to regulate his inner world. The techniques came easily to him during the courses and they worked, but it took another year before he began to understand: he now had the tools of the inner world with which he could change everything. By himself. He simply had to practise.
Sometimes it takes a while to realise that you already hold the key to a door. You just need to turn the key and open the door. When Tarvo, attending a meeting at work, still found himself boiling inside at a colleague’s sarcastic comments, he realised on getting home that he ought to know how to free himself from that boiling. Within himself. With the knowledge and techniques he had acquired. So why wasn’t he doing it? In his everyday life. In the midst of real problems. So he set about it and began practising releasing emotions using the example of the one colleague who stirred up the most emotions in him. And it worked! Just a month and a half later, to his own surprise, he was sitting with that same colleague in the coffee corner, chatting like old friends. He no longer had a single reaction towards this colleague, and it turned out that he was in fact a very well-read and interesting person.
The journey to the answers is sometimes long and winding, and it has facets whose existence you do not even suspect when you begin your search. But every step on that path is worth discovering. Over the years Tarvo has dared to look ever deeper. He has understood where his resistances began. He has started to understand why things happen the way they do and how he himself can change all of it. He has achieved inner peace and self-confidence, and he no longer holds back his opinions or his contribution even on topics that seem uncomfortable on the surface – when he sees that he can actually create added value there. He is able to see his automatic reactions, not identify with them and free himself from them entirely, making ever more conscious and wise decisions.
In Practical Consciousness Class I & II you will learn
- how big a role emotions play in our lives
- how emotions are triggered automatically and what to do with them
- how emotions keep us stuck in repetition
- how emotions create hopeless or seemingly inescapable situations
- how to free yourself from ingrained habits and patterns you have adopted in life
- how to release a disturbing emotion within 4–5 seconds
- how to create inner peace and balance whenever it is needed
- how to concentrate correctly and master this skill
- how to bring out the potential of living as yourself
Practical Consciousness Class I & II creates clarity
- about the things in the world that are permanent and unchanging and those that are made to change, as well as the ability to tell them apart
- through which life becomes simpler, understandable and supportive
- through the knowledge that when you change yourself, the world around you changes, and there are fewer and fewer complicated and difficult situations
- through the understanding that every new insight affects your life and every action of yours is a choice
- through the realisation that the effects of a life lived as yourself reach beyond you

Tarvo's students share their experience
I remember the special inner impulse I felt when I realised that now was exactly the right time to take part in PC Class I-II. I am sure that the right “attunement” helped me take in the extensive information of the course smoothly. I began practising the emotion-release techniques consistently, and using them has become an inseparable part of my everyday life. The biggest change in my life is the experience of being myself, which I reached by freeing myself from the influence of emotions.
