Freeing yourself from the cause of tension

His story
As a top executive, Toomas tried a wide range of ways to relieve stress. What he learned on the Practical Consciousness course, however, completely changed how he approached releasing tension.
Toomas’s stress began when he was a top executive during the privatisation wave of the 1990s, when back pain, stress and burnout left their mark on his health. A calmer period created the illusion that the problems had gone away, but when he took on large development projects again, the crisis, tension and burnout returned. His clear sense of direction began to fade, relationships got tangled and his health gave out.
Toomas discovered how different emotions – anger, disappointment, depression, indifference and irritability – alternated and left their mark. He considered this an inevitable part of the situation.
When Practical Consciousness was first recommended to Toomas, his first reaction was: “What on earth do emotions have to do with it? I have real problems here, not some fluff!”
Out of respect for the person who recommended it, he took part anyway, but what he learned on the course did not give him an immediate aha moment. After all, emotions were not his “problem”. In his view, the problem lay elsewhere. Nevertheless, he began practising the techniques he had learned and, as he released the emotions that came up, discovered how much time he had previously spent on the emotions accompanying certain problems – both those that arose in himself and on resolving situations caused by other people’s emotions. Of course, Toomas could not change external circumstances, but he soon saw that the emotions that had previously exhausted him, made him bitter and begun to harm his health decreased noticeably within a few months. He achieved clarity and efficiency, which he himself describes as adequate, fast and precise leadership in times of crisis.
In Practical Consciousness Class I & II you learn
In Class I: clarity
you get to know your own inner structure – the five-body system – as a map and compass for finding your way in both the inner and the outer world. You gain more clarity and achieve balance and focus in every area of life. This is a good foundation for understanding where problems come from and for distinguishing what is important from what is less important.
In Class II: emotions
you learn to release the emotions that spoil your quality of life – in addition to emotions that create tension, also anxiety, depression, anger and so on. You are able to free yourself from a disturbing emotion quickly and easily. Even more importantly, this process frees you from the grip of ingrained patterns.
In Class I & II you also learn to live in the present moment. You find out how to use consciousness in a practical way, to be focused and creative in any situation, and you gain an experience of your actual self, which is one of the most important cornerstones in life.

Q & A
“Will I become emotionless, then?”
No, definitely not. You can free yourself from the emotions that bother you, and at exactly the pace that suits you. In their place, imperturbability and inner balance begin to arise – not caused by external stimuli, but truly your own.
How does the Practical Consciousness method differ from mindfulness?
The Practical Consciousness method is action-based and goes much further than passive awareness or observation. It gives a person the opportunity to actively change, for example, the aspects of their own character that bother them.
The Practical Consciousness method is thoroughly practical and does not remain dry theory or a one-off event.
Positive changes begin to appear when you put the techniques from the courses to use and keep going with them even after the initial enthusiasm has passed. You change yourself, without outside intervention, safely and through goodwill.
After the Practical Consciousness course you can join the follow-up training, so that you are not left alone with your practice and stay firmly on your new path of development!
