I teach people to love themselves because I find that this is the answer for almost everything.

You see, I believe that we're all 100 % responsible for everything in our lives.

I think we create all of our experiences by our thinking, feeling patterns.

The thoughts we think and the words we speak are enormously powerful

and it's almost as though we think a thought

or we speak a word and it goes out from us

and it comes back to us as experience now we learn how we feel about ourselves

and how we feel about life

when we are very very little by the time

we are three to five years old we have a total mindset about who we are

and what life is all about and from then on we keep reacting to experiences through this mindset.

And while very often these thoughts that we have and these beliefs

that we create or decisions that we make or agreements

that we make at that age are very good

and they help us to survive in what may be a very difficult situation, we often take them forward into life so that

when we become adults we're still operating out of a three -year -old mentality

or a three -year -old decision and that often doesn't work in our life

so we learn these things when we're very young

and we usually learn them from our parents

and this is not to blame them because I really do believe

that we're all victims of victims and it isn't possible for anybody to teach us anything that they don't know

If your mother didn't know how to love herself, there's no way she could teach you how to love yourself.

And if your father didn't know how to love himself, then he couldn't teach you how to love yourself.

And if you grew up in a family that was very angry or frightened,

then you're likely to be an angry or frightened person because that's what you learned as a child.

It's not right or wrong or good or bad.

It just is.

Again, it doesn't matter what the problem is

or how long you've had it or how difficult

or chronic it is or anything else or whether it's brand new or whether it runs in the family.

There's only one thing I ever teach anyone and that is loving the self.

Because when we really love and appreciate and acknowledge who we are at this point in time and space,

it's like little miracles happen everywhere.

And life begins to flow for us

and we do what I call getting the green lights in the parking places

and all those little things that make life so wonderful.

And when we don't love and appreciate who we are, then we put up the barriers and the resistance to our own good.

Now I'm not talking about vanity or arrogance because that is not love, that is fear.

I'm just talking about appreciating the being that we are.

and I do a lot of work with people with mirrors you might I'm gonna ask you

if you could open your arms please thank you you know it's interesting

because this is always a gesture of shutting off

and it's interesting to notice what is being said when we do

that now I can remember

when I used to live my life

I lived like this I was always like this people would say are you cold

we don't know i'm not cold i was terrified i was frightened i didn't want to let anything new in

because i didn't know what i was doing

and i didn't know what would happen and when i work with people

when i workshops or classes

or anything i always try to get people just to open their arms

so that we can let the new in remember this is the subconscious mind and this is where we're holding

so this is saying nothing new will get in

so i always like to feel that i'm open

and receptive to new ideas and I'm willing to learn and I'm willing to change and I'm willing to grow.

And sometimes I don't want to and sometimes it hits areas

that I don't really care to change at the moment

and you know that's always an area that I know is important for me to work on.

Another thing I do a lot with people is I do mirror work.

I have people do their affirmations in a mirror.

I have people talk to themselves in mirrors.

I suggest that you get up in the morning

and the first thing you do is you go to the mirror before you go to the bathroom

or do anything you know when you're really at your most delightful go to the mirror and say i love you

and what can i do for you today to make you happy

and you may not get an answer for a while

because you're that part of you doesn't trust you but

if you start doing

that you'll find a very good connection a very healing thing

to do is just a couple of times a day for a month

or so is to look in a mirror in your own eyes.

and say i love you i really really love you

and just let all those feelings come up and notice them

and if it's difficult for you to do that notice

that it's difficult for you to look in your own eyes

and say i love you and ask yourself now where did

that nonsense come from remember little tiny babies

when they're born they absolutely adore themselves and they're totally open and they're full of love.

They express themselves freely.

They ask for what they want.

They love their bodies from the top of the toe to

the top of their head to the tip of their toes and every point in between,

including their own feces, which they'll gladly rub all over their bodies because nobody's taught them guilt and shame.

Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
