About the free sessions
This free intro will cover valuable techniques for changing emotions and beliefs. In the process you will get deeper awareness of your unconscious mind. Some of the benefits will be:
- Increased personal power as you are guided through shifting your emotions at will.
- Awareness of how you hypnotize yourself into preventing change, and how to un-hypnotize yourself by noticing and changing certain thoughts.
- Heightened awareness of your attention. You will see how your attention is a key skill in changing how you feel, what you think, and how you behave in any moment. With this key you will open doors for personal change.
- Begin to identify and change limiting beliefs that were unconscious to you. These beliefs run 95% of your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. You won’t change all of them in these couple weeks, but you will be introduced to what to look for and how they hide in plain sight. By developing these skills you will be able to apply them to your own specific belief issues.
This free introduction is a way for you to try the Self Mastery Course and see if it is what you are looking for. If you want to develop a full set of skills for changing your beliefs you can continue with Self Mastery Course 1. It is possible to start the Self Mastery 1 course and do it in parallel to these introductory lessons.

Common questions
Because you are being set up for success. If you had all the lessons at once your mind would be filled with information but you would not have practiced anything yet.
For change to happen new neural pathways need to be connected and your brain and nervous system re-trained. That process does not happen with just getting knowledge.
Reading books is not going to change your emotional patterns. If you are trying to change thoughts, having more information just gives you more to think about in the same way.
For effectively making the changes you want to make you will need a different approach than just having information. The time in between lessons is for you to do the exercises which will give you time to build habits, new neural pathways, and build your conscious awareness. You will need this time so new patterns seep down into your unconscious and real lasting change happens.
Results will happen right away. You will notice a difference in how you feel, perspective, and thought patterns as you do the exercises. However, the results your ego mind will hope for are different than what will happen right away.
Getting the big changes you want, and getting them to stick will take work. This isn’t a pill you take and you wake up in a different world with a different mind. You will progress in changes as you practice.
Some smaller issues can change in a day, but long patterns of jealousy, anger, anxiety, or self judgment will take some months. But consider this, what if you got a 25% reduction in a month? And then got a 50% reduction by month three, and a 75% reduction by month four? Then with another couple months you finished up the last details of the emotional pattern?
What kind of relief would that create for you?
This course is set up so you build on changes that you can be successful at. As you build skills and gather more personal power from the exercises you will make bigger and bigger changes. More importantly they will be permanent.
You will be getting immediate changes when you practice each exercise. That immediate result is taking you one step closer to permanent transformation.
The Self Mastery Course developed out of my individual coaching sessions. People showed up with all kinds of negative thinking, emotional, and behavior issues. But all of these were driven by unconscious belief programs.
Beliefs in the mind run 95% of emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. When you change beliefs, you can change thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
This course specifically targets and trains you how to identify and change beliefs.
The essential skills you will develop involve changing your perspective, recovering your personal power, and learning ways to change your emotions.
When you have these skills, you can change any programmed emotional response in your life. You will be able to respond and feel the way you want to, and that is Self Mastery

"The most important entry point for living in the present"
Your work was maybe the most important entry point for me living in the present. Your podcasts are a source of great insight and it helped me re-frame a lot of things that I used to see as painful.

"His website has been life-changing for me"
I found his website in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep because I was being eaten up by anxiety and a particularly emotionally taxing situation in my personal life. I am now able to stand back from the stories in my head and observe them with a more neutral and rational mindset.

Finally! A program that seems to be working.
I have been attempting to change my behavior for many years with little lasting success. Other books and tapes frequently got me excited about change, but ultimately my discipline and motivation to change broke down. I felt like I was in an endless loop of failure. When I listened to Gary's podcasts, I heard something different. He said "self help doesn't work" - boy did I know that. Gary get's to the root of the problem - our core beliefs and how they control our behavior. More importantly, his program (which I purchased) explains these mental processes clearly and how to correct them... how to really change our mind through written and mental exercises. For me it seems like it's been a lifetime, but I'm beginning to see real change... FINALLY. Thanks Gary!
