Allison Carmen was well on her way to fulfilling her story as a first-year attorney when the threat of being let go from her job began a downward spiral of fear,
"All of a sudden this whole story, that I had based so much of my life on, had just vanished into thin air. And, I started to worry what’s going to happen next, how will I pay my rent, what are my parents going to think, and I reached a new level of anxiety that I didn’t recover from for a very long time.”

“When we started our life together, 35 years ago, there weren’t any self-help books on how to have a better relationship. We looked around for people that we could model and we didn’t find very many role models with the kind of relationship we wanted.”

The Principle of Karma and Your Money
Does being successful in a material way, mean that you are failing in a spiritual way?
At some point, you understand that success in one does not mean ultimate failure in the other. They can coexist beautifully.
“You have to be careful not to overwork and lose your meditation time, but you also have to be careful not to over meditate and lose your touch with reality, with the real world.”

“Your voice essentially represents the frequencies that are in your nervous system and throughout your body. When we look at your voice a certain way, when it is analyzed with our algorithms, we can look at the specific frequencies that are out of balance or not in perfect harmony or coherence with the rest of your system. By pulling those out, we can see what effect those frequencies may be having in your system.”

It's a course with eight modules. You can take it all at once or in stages. It's the secret to my success. Here are my secrets: Practice and Purpose.
