What Participants Say About PRAC for Life
I have fallen in love with myself again
Thank you doesn't nearly cut it. I am at a loss for words to express the gratitude I have for both of you, Catherine and Duane. The work you are doing is beyond honourable. You are bringing such light and love back to humanity one class at a time. You literally are awakening all of us to what we have forgotten. What beautiful, amazing souls you are. Thank you for caring and understanding. Thank you for your patience and above all pure love. You get it and live it every moment. You are models and shining examples of what is possible. There IS hope for us all.
I so look forward to continuing my journey with PRAC for Life. I look forward to the day I am able to reminisce with you both about how far I have come. I came to the Awakening to discover my purpose, my service. I had to break down to break through. In doing that work, the purpose revealed itself quite naturally. Thank you for helping me to identify and nail my very crafty ego. Slippery fish, Trish, couldn't escape this time.
I have fallen in love with myself again. The sunshine is back and I realize you only need a little light to see in the dark. I have always felt that my life began as a long, muddy, potholed, dirt road. I relish the super, paved, expressway I am about to travel on. How absolutely refreshing. My life is only as difficult as I make it and the meanings are only what I assign. I can change all that, and largely I have. I am proud of myself, and that's enough. I see, feel and taste the changes in my life. This work works. And it's actually pretty simple. It is only I that makes it complicated. You are forever my family. I am eternally grateful. Love and light to you both.

I owe my life to Clearmind
I owe my life to Clearmind, for what I have discovered about myself and my life; for the support to push through and stand for what I believe in - me.
I own my thriving and successful business, and I might not have seen my value and worth without Clearmind. I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend to many, and would not have discovered my compassion, ability to forgive and simply love.
Without Practitioners Training (now renamed P.R.A.C. for Life), without the in-depth personal
growth and workshops provided by Clearmind, I would not have confronted many of the dysfunctions
and profound obstacles in my life. I am able to hold a very different view of myself and my struggles
because of Clearmind, and I am forever grateful for the integrity and influence of this curriculum.

I am overall a much happier person
Overall the program has allowed me to completely evolve as a person, into a place where I am very confident in who I am and how I walk through the world, both personally and professionally. I have often been complimented by my director about my effectiveness in working with people and supporting them to reach their goals and to step through their challenges. The psychology of understanding human beings and their nature, including my own, has helped me contribute to my work in away that I could not have imagined. I am overall a much happier person and no longer look at blaming others if there are challenges but rather seeing my own part and how we are interconnected and how I can make a difference as an effective manager.
I believe the Clearmind Practitioner training program (now renamed P.R.A.C. for Life) is the number #1
most useful necessary educational
experience that I have ever taken. I would want every one I know to take this program, as I am certain it
would help them become better human beings: they would be happier, they would be doing the work that they
know they are meant to be doing, and they would be doing it well! It is proven that if people are happy at
what they are doing that productivity is very high and this is a benefit for everyone.

I have stepped into areas that I would never have dreamed possible
In my opinion, the three years of Clearmind International's Practitioners Training program, (now renamed P.R.A.C. for Life) which I completed in 2005, have been the most instrumental in my ability to step into leadership. Before doing this program, I would stumble and fumble, get embarrassed and turn red easily when talking in front of people, whether I was introducing a project proposal as an engineer or teaching an educational inservice in occupational therapy.
As a direct result of this program, I have stepped into areas that five years ago I would never have dreamed possible: I am leading groups and teaching on an acute psych ward. I am facilitating workshops. I am better at speaking my mind and clearly communicating from a place of grace, heart and intelligence. I have become extremely aware of the intricacies in interpersonal dynamics between people, leading me to fuller and richer relationships both in my work and personal life.
I have connected with my passion and excitement for life and how I want to live it, which I bring into
my work. At one time I thought that I needed a change; when that job ended up being just as routine
as before, I realized that I needed a change within me. This program has given me the opportunity to
fully bring "me" into my work and there is never a dull moment!!!

I feel more free, at peace and closer to a smile
You know we wouldn't be where we are today without Clearmind. We had the best Christmas so far... unspoken family rules are increasingly becoming redundant as they come to light and are exposed. More smiles, light hearted openness, eye contact, basically love is in the mix more openly. I am managing to stay within my 50% (more of the time) and really feel a way to have conversations without (what was previously inevitable) advice giving.
More and more of the time I feel more free, at peace and closer to a smile. It is difficult to find words to describe the differences that we are experiencing as a family, more connected in an easier, 'surrendered' way. Not forcing or worrying. What feel like small changes on the outside - making a different choice around what my actual 'goal' is - the real one that is being manifest every moment.
I have a way to go, but I am OK with that. Not perfect, feeling happier about accepting all that I am.
I am saying this to (in some way) share from my heart, how I feel the result of the organization that is Clearmind International, panning out at the sharp end. Whilst I imagine that you are already sure of the amazing changes that you, Catherine and all the other Clearmind team witness in people, this is a note of thanks from one who can see so clearly how massively the beliefs inside and surrounding me are being transformed. And all this only half-way into year 2 of Prac. Although we have a few technical glitches on-line, I would not be without Prac for anything in the world.
So best love to you all,
Fiona
