3Q Practitioner Online Training Course

3Q Practitioner Training Course

Transpersonal Coach Training Program

The 3Q Practitioner Training Course trains and certifies Spiritual Intelligence Practitioners. Spiritual intelligence is a higher dimension of intelligence beyond the ego that has access to the advanced capabilities of the true self. This six month online Practitioner course is based on secular spirituality not on religious beliefs. Consequently, the methodology used to activate spiritual intelligence is not founded on articles of faith but on experience and knowledge, backed by evidence from related fields of scientific research. Certified Practitioners are provided with the training materials to coach their clients in spiritual intelligence, and conduct workshops in spiritual intelligence for leaders and organisations, and for the general public.

Personal Benefits of Spiritual Intelligence

As the intelligence of the true self beyond the ego, spiritual intelligence (SQ) has many benefits that exceed the scope of intellectual intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ). Spiritual intelligence relieves anxiety and depression and the extreme pain of meaninglessness and despair that is often associated with ego states of awareness. Freedom from ego, as experienced with SQ, grants wisdom and clarity of vision, combined with more empathy and compassion, which increases creativity and intuition, and results in greater personal fulfilment and better performance on important life skills and work skills. Spiritual intelligence therefore represents the most powerful resource for personal and professional growth and fulfilment.

Social SQ Benefits

Spiritual intelligence creates cooperation and tolerance between people, and between different groups in society, and between different cultures, religions, and nations. Widespread adoption of spiritual intelligence as a personal code of conduct raises the standard of accountability in collective governance in response to public demand. When standards in governments and corporations are based on spiritual intelligence, the energy of love will turn into a social and political force, as never before in history. Public training in spiritual intelligence therefore heralds a new era of human rights and social justice, which form the foundation for global cooperative community, shared prosperity, and world peace.

Corporate SQ Benefits

Research shows that when organisations invest in 3Q Training, creativity and innovation increase, employee engagement rises, and productivity grows [1]. 3Q Training also reforms corporate governance by creating a culture that conducts business according to the ethics of spiritual intelligence. Moreover, by inspiring employees with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, 3Q Training aligns organisations with a social mission beyond the profit motive. Corporations thus realise their full potential not only to maximise productivity, but also to contribute to human wellbeing, by utilising the full range of their employees’ innate intelligence.

Twi Poles of Attention

Human Operating System

3Q Methodology

Training in 3Q combines three principal dimensions of intelligence, which together represent the three Qs. The three Qs activate the whole brain, unlike IQ or EQ on their own, which are part-brain functions. By training the whole brain, 3Q Training unlocks full human capabilities and high performance skills. The following article describes the historical origins of 3Q whole-brain methodology: The Spiritual Intelligence Paradigm.

Scientific Foundations

The whole-brain methodology used to access 3Q is based on a synthesis of findings in post-materialist science from related fields of scientific research. For a summary of the scientific foundations of 3Q methodology, see The Psychology of Spiritual Intelligence.

Secular Spirituality

The core psychological process underlying all forms of practice in every spiritual tradition (except in TQ traditions) is the shift in identity from the object-pole to the subject-pole of attention. This shift in polarity replaces the ego with the soul as the seat of personal identity, and thus installs SQ as the governor of IQ and EQ. With the exception of TQ traditions, the shift from ego to soul underlies all forms of spiritual practice in every tradition. As a form of secular spirituality, SQ therefore represents generic spirituality, founded on experiential reality, prior to the superimposition of religious interpretations and beliefs.

Fast Track

The methodology used in 3Q training and coaching incorporates the latest scientific findings in cognitive psychology, transpersonal psychology, and neuroscience. 3Q practice uses the scientific principles of neuroplasticity to create a fast-track to a higher state of consciousness. Frequent 3Q practice rapidly builds a neural network optimised for advanced 3Q capabilities. The video above briefly outlines 3Q methodology.

Peer Reviewed

The 3Q model of spiritual intelligence combined with 3Q secular methodology passed academic peer-review before being accepted at the 2022 Oxford Conference on Advanced Research in Education.

Human Operating System

Twi Poles of Attention

Human Operating System

The twin poles of attention represent the human operating system, with the ego at the object-pole of attention, and the true self (the soul, or consciousness itself) at the subject-pole of attention. Shifting from identifying with the object-pole of attention to identifying with the subject-pole of attention creates a corresponding shift from ego to soul, which activates the spiritual dimension of intelligence.

Ego Mistake

Without understanding your human operating system, you can mistakenly waste time trying to make changes at the object-pole of attention, when the key to transformation is to shift to the subject-pole of attention, and thus activate the advanced capabilities of a higher dimension of your intelligence. The ego does this all the time. It’s the perennial ego mistake.

The 3Q Brain Upgrade

The neuroscience of spiritual intelligence reveals that the 3Q brain upgrade changes brain processing, resets brain frequencies, re-balances brain neurotransmitters, stimulates the process of neurogenesis that creates new brain cells, and builds new brain structure that supports the higher dimension of intelligence.

The 3Q brain upgrade optimises the brain for activating three principal dimensions of intelligence simultaneously (IQ+EQ+SQ). The default setting of attention in the 3Q brain is at the subject-pole of attention, not at the object-pole of attention. The 3Q brain therefore replaces the ego with the soul, both as the seat of self-identity and as the governor of IQ and EQ. The 3Q brain uses IQ and EQ not to pursue the goals of the ego, but to express the qualities of the soul, which are experienced at the subject-pole of attention in moments of presence, in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace.

Brain Processing

3Q intelligence

Brain processing in the 3Q brain shifts from exclusive use of serial and parallel processing to include synchronous processing. This change in processing is associated with the combination of spiritual intelligence with intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence.

Brain Frequencies

The 3Q brain resets brain frequencies to include gamma frequencies and high alpha frequencies, which otherwise occur only rarely and at random. Gamma frequencies and high alpha frequencies are associated with activation of the spiritual dimension of intelligence.

Brain Neurotransmitters

The 3Q brain reduces neurotransmitters that generate fight and flight reactions, which are generally overused by the ego, and increases neurotransmitters that are associated with wellbeing and balance.

Brain Neurogenesis

The 3Q Method stimulates particular parts of the brain that are responsible for the process of neurogenesis, resulting in the generation of new brain cells that are used to strengthen existing brain networks and build new ones.

Brain Structure

The 3Q Method builds new brain structure that sustains the experience of spiritual intelligence. Consequently the more you use your 3Q, the more 3Q brain structure you create, and therefore the easier it is to activate your 3Q intelligence in any circumstances.

“There is enough collective evidence from psychology, neurology, anthropology and cognitive science to show us that there is a third “Q”, “SQ” or Spiritual Intelligence. Unlike IQ, which computers have and EQ which exists in higher mammals, SQ is uniquely human and the most fundamental of these three dimensions of intelligence. It is linked to humanity’s need for meaning, an issue very much at the forefront of people’s minds at the beginning of the new millennium. SQ is what we use to develop our longing and capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to strive.”

Danah Zohar
Zohar, D., Marshall, I. (2001) SQ: Connecting With Our Spiritual Intelligence

The Difference between Mindfulness and Spiritual Intelligence

Mindfulness and spiritual intelligence have much in common, but there are also significant differences. Mindfulness is the practice of simply observing your experience without judgement, which results in a sense of calm and composure. By contrast, spiritual intelligence is the practice of shifting from ego to the higher self in the context of all experience. This difference results in three main distinctions between Mindfulness and spiritual intelligence, which can be summarised under the headings of Ethics, Meaning and Purpose, and Existential Issues.

    1. Ethics

    Unlike spiritual intelligence, Mindfulness has no ethical dimension. Mindfulness simply instructs us to pay attention to what we are aware of without judgement. While abiding by this instruction, you can mindfully lie, cheat, and steal. There are no ethical implications of simply being aware of experience without judgement. In the original Buddhist context in which Mindfulness was taught it was accompanied by an admonition to live a right life, made up of right understanding, right intention, and right action, which involves inherently ethical demands. But in the western context in which Mindfulness is taught as a standalone discipline, the demand to live a right life is absent. By contrast, spiritual intelligence is inherently ethical because the experience of SQ is grounded in love and compassion, which are the foundation and guarantee of ethical conduct.

    2. Meaning and Purpose

    If you already have clarity on the meaning and purpose of your life, then Mindfulness can serve to remind you. But unlike spiritual intelligence, the practice of Mindfulness does not discover deeper meaning and purpose. Whereas spiritual intelligence discovers deeper meaning and purpose by virtue of shifting from the ego to your true self.

    3. Existential Issues

    Unlike spiritual intelligence, Mindfulness does not address existential issues, such as the vitally important question of “Who am I?” This is because Mindfulness merely attends to the objects of consciousness, whereas spiritual intelligence attends to consciousness itself. In fact, spiritual intelligence is about being consciousness itself, regardless of the objects of consciousness. This focus on being consciousness itself reveals all the answers to existential questions. A deeper sense of meaning and purpose actually depends on answers to such existential questions.

For the above reasons, spiritual intelligence is more comprehensive than Mindfulness, because SQ includes and exceeds the benefits of Mindfulness.

The 3Q Method to Activate Spiritual Intelligence

SQ Portal

The 3Q Method

The 3Q Method is a simple, rapid, and highly effective three-step process that shifts from your ego to your true self, your soul, and thus activates your spiritual intelligence. This course uses the 3Q Method to perform a complete brain upgrade that enables you to access the full range of your intelligence by combining spiritual intelligence (SQ) with emotional intelligence (EQ) and intellectual intelligence (IQ).

Vertical and Horizontal

Spiritual intelligence represents vertical development because SQ is an advancement in spiritual realisation that transcends the ego. By contrast, the exercise of IQ and EQ in the absence of SQ are extensions of the ego, and therefore represent horizontal development.

Strategic and Tactical

Spiritual intelligence is sometimes known as strategic intelligence, in contrast to tactical intelligence, which is IQ and EQ. That’s because IQ and EQ are about HOW to do things (tactics), whereas SQ is about WHY we do things (strategy). Tactical intelligence is horizontal development and strategic intelligence is vertical development.

Rapid Learning

You will learn the 3Q Method rapidly on this course, because you will have the benefit of neurofeedback from a brain-sensing headband, which allows you to see your own brain activity in real time. A free headband is included in the cost of the course when you pay in full at the start of the course.

Yours to Keep

The brain-monitoring headband is yours to keep after the end of the course. You will find the headband useful after the course is over, as you continue to develop your capabilities beyond the stage you reached at the end of the course.

Verified by Neuroscience

By the end of this course, after only ten minutes practice with the headband per day, you will have developed the necessary brain capacity to experience spiritual intelligence in any circumstances.

Revolutionary Course

For the first time ever, an online course offers the means of brain development with the assistance of neurofeedback, and with verification of results by neuroscience. This is an enormous technological advantage compared to any other online course. But that’s not all.

This course excels not only in technology but also in methodology. This course teaches the 3Q Method, which is the fastest and most effective brain training method to activate spiritual intelligence and upgrade your whole brain.

The evidence-based foundation of this course, both in technology and in methodology, guarantees that what you are learning has the backing of modern science. For both these reasons, this is a unique and revolutionary course.

Brain-Monitoring Headband

To accelerate the 3Q brain upgrade, this course uses a brain-monitoring headband. The headband is attached via bluetooth to an app on your phone. When you wear the brain-monitoring headband you get a real-time display of your brain activity on your phone screen. Your instructors on the course also monitor your brain activity online while you are wearing the headband.

By monitoring your own brain activity you will learn rapidly how to use the 3Q Method to upgrade your brain. In the process, the record of your brain activity will verify that you have developed your brain’s ability to function at your best at any time. In only 10 minutes per day over the duration of the course, you will learn how to access your full potential by combining all three dimensions of intelligence in any circumstances. The results of completing this course represent a complete brain upgrade, which will enable you to think better, feel better, relate better, and perform better.

Neuroplasticity

The 3Q Method employs neuroplasticity, which re-wires the brain according to how you use your attention. Studies show that meditation can rewire the brain in a matter of a few weeks. By using the 3Q Method for a mere 10 minutes per day for the duration of the course, you will rewire your brain to make SQ in combination with EQ and IQ easily accessible in any circumstances. This represents a complete brain upgrade in terms of brain processing, brain frequencies, brain neurotransmitters, neurogenesis, and brain structure.

Permanent Results

Your 3Q brain upgrade lasts beyond the end of the course. Studies in neuroscience show that the design of the 3Q Method ensures that you will build new brain structure that strengthens your 3Q neural network. This is due to the fact that when you maintain any state of awareness for 15 seconds or more continuously, your brain transfers the experience from short-term memory to long-term memory. The shift to long-term memory is accomplished by building new brain structure that supports continued access to the experience. Consequently, this course will evolve your brain into a higher state of functioning. When your 3Q brain upgrade is complete, your 3Q intelligence will be accessible in any circumstances.

The 3Q Difference

The 3Q difference is that once you have learned this new technique of instant transformation with the help of neurofeedback during training, you can use it to access the qualities and capabilities of your higher self instantly anytime and anywhere, on the spot.

Instant Transformation?

“Instant transformation?” Really? Can transformation be instant? Yes! Because transformation is transcendence, which is instant. It’s not possible to transcend anything gradually. Transcendence is a complete and all-pervading shift in dimension that can only be accomplished all at once or not at all.

Advanced Capabilities

The shift to spiritual intelligence by means of the 3Q Method occurs in an instant as you transcend your ego and the qualities and capabilities of your higher self spontaneously emerge as required in response to the present moment.

Upgrade to Next Level Intelligence

This course uses a new training technology that uses neurofeedback in real time to train your brain rapidly to shift to a transpersonal dimension of consciousness.

Transpersonal means beyond the ego, and beyond the narrow bounds of self-interest. Transpersonal consciousness therefore connects you empathically to others and to the world. Spiritual intelligence is the transpersonal dimension of intelligence.

Neurofeedback-assisted training bypasses all the usual road-blocks to developing and maintaining higher states of consciousness, such as distractions by thoughts, negative self-talk, emotional reactivity, and past maladaptive learning.

On this course you will learn how to activate spiritual intelligence instantly using a brain-sensing headband for rapid learning during training. The headband also provides scientific verification of transpersonal brain development based on your brain monitoring data.

Meditation Space

When you shift beyond ego you enter the meditation space. Traditional forms of meditation typically take 20 minutes or more to complete. But 3Q meditation is constructed differently, which is why it’s much faster.

Identity Shift

3Q meditation completes the core psychological process common to all forms of meditation, which is the identity shift beyond ego. This is an instantaneous shift which 3Q meditation completes directly, without pre-amble or delay. This is why 3Q meditation takes not 20 minutes or 10 minutes or even 5 minutes to complete, but merely a second.

What Are Brain Waves?

Brain waves are divided into five different bandwidths that correspond to the spectrum of human consciousness. Our brain waves change throughout the day and are part of a feedback loop that is influenced by what we’re doing, thinking, feeling, and being, at any given time.

Delta waves (0.1Hz to 3Hz) are the slowest brain waves and occur primarily during our deepest state of dreamless sleep.

Theta waves (4Hz to 7Hz) occur during sleep but can also occur in the deepest states of meditation.

Alpha waves (8Hz to 15Hz) are present when your brain is in an idling default-state typically created when you’re daydreaming or consciously practicing mindfulness or meditation. Alpha waves can also be created by doing aerobic exercise.

Beta waves (16Hz to 30Hz) typically dominate our normal waking states of consciousness and occur when attention is directed towards cognitive and other tasks. Beta is a ‘fast’ wave activity that is present when we are alert, attentive, focused, and engaged in problem solving or decision making.

Gamma waves (31Hz to 100Hz) typically hover around 40 Hz and are the fastest of the brain wave bandwidths. Gamma waves relate to simultaneous processing of information from different brain areas and correlate with a higher dimension of intelligence associated with insight, peak focus, and expanded consciousness.

On the Spot Transformation

3Q meditation is totally compatible with daily activities because it only takes a second to complete and it doesn’t interfere with whatever else you are doing, even if you are engaged in conversation. Whereas other forms of meditation typically involve seclusion, quiet, and repose for 20 minutes or more, which requires you to abandon all other activities for a significant period of time.

Fresh from the Source

When you apply 3Q instant meditation to whatever you are doing, you get the benefits of meditation delivered fresh from the source in direct response to the exact conditions of the present moment. Therefore, in any moment that is lived with 3Q, the grace of the soul forms your response, and the power and insight of the soul informs your decision.

Transformative Power

This means that the transformative power of your higher self to influence your life is intensified by instant 3Q meditation, in comparison with other meditation techniques that require inactivity and separation from the rest of life. This is because 3Q instant meditation can be combined with your lived experience in the present moment, whatever you are doing.

Meditation Re-Engineered

3Q meditation does not select elements from different meditation techniques and combine them to form a new meditation technique made up of a new combination of elements. Instead, 3Q identifies the essence of the meditation process itself, and creates a wholly new pathway from the ego to the meditation space. The 3Q Method is meditation re-engineered.

What 3Q Practitioners Are Saying

“It has been an amazing journey of self-discovery during the completion of this course. I do believe that the 3Q process unlocks the power to unite mind, body and soul . It definitely emerges as a new paradigm of intelligence by putting our soul in command of our ego and ultimately infuses us with soul energy. I have no hesitation in recommending the 3Q practitioner course. It is the way forward in order to harness our strengths, help others and improve society by using a higher dimension of our intelligence. I look forward to using it in the work that I do as a corporate trainer.”

Anita DeMonte – Coach and Trainer

“The 3Q Practitioner Training course provides a framework for understanding your own experience and for understanding the spiritual process. As a corporate lawyer of 25 years experience, this course has been invaluable. What I learned on this course has become the cornerstone of everything I do personally and professionally.”

Victoria Stewart – Corporate Lawyer

“This course was the culmination of everything I had learned up to now about psychology and spirituality. The knowledge I acquired about spiritual intelligence completed all my previous learning. As a life coach and trainer, I recommend this course to other coaches who want the best methodology for personal transformation for the benefit of their clients.”

Zdenka Nikolovska – Corporate Trainer

“Having completed the 3Q Practitioner Training course, which I undertook for my own interest and development, I would like to thank you most sincerely for what is a radically clear, easy to understand explanation of what is often considered unfathomable. It is my experience that at some level or another we are all working towards an understand of ‘our true nature’ – that at some level we are aware that there is more to us than the mind, body and ego.

Jane Colebourn – CranioSacral Practitioner

There is a great deal written about this subject but what attracted me to this course was the secular (non-theistic) nature of the SQ paradigm – although I do still think we are somewhat limited in our vocabulary as history has imbued words like ‘spirit’ and ‘soul’ with religious meaning. However I didn’t find this difficult to accept. Being a pragmatist I felt totally aligned with everything presented in the course- and the course has enhanced the way in which I am able to explain what I am thinking about these complex issues. It has given me tools to use in my own work, which are helpful to others who are struggling with these same questions.”

The clarity and unbiased explanations in this course, supported by scientific evidence, have helped me to have a better understand of what ‘I already knew’.

So from a personal and professional perspective I have gained an immense amount of clarity and understanding about the issues I have been grappling with for most of my life. If something doesn’t ‘feel right’ to me I find it difficult to accept – and 3Q ‘feels right’.

I realise the course is designed for those who wish to teach 3Q, but in my personal view it has immense value for anyone wishing to gain deeper insight and understanding of their own nature.”

Jane Colebourn – CranioSacral Practitioner

“3Q has not only greatly helped me in my personal growth but also inspired me to move ahead and use 3Q in the work I do as a trainer and coach. I highly recommend the 3Q practitioner training course.”

Rajesh Naidu – Corporate Trainer

“When I first encountered 3Q I was utterly shocked to discover that all my 20 years of spiritual quest in yoga and meditation practice, readings and understandings of spiritual matters have been summarized perfectly in such a precise and concise way. 3Q brought such a clear understanding for me as a spiritual seeker, that I was shocked by the fact that I was not able to find this clarity in all those years of practice and searching.”

Bastianela Gloria – Coach and Trainer

“I realised that even after so many years of practice, and study for understanding my own true nature and search for a way to be who I really am, I found myself still confused about HOW to actually do that.

Spiritual teachings advise us in many ways and are excellent means on this path with all the techniques and ways they offer, but there are so many, and often abstractly explained, and presented from different perspectives, that many find themselves confused, because they do not know which way to go or they just start doing all those practices, which gets them… nowhere, essentially…

In my current work as a meditation and life coach I often find that many people, like me, are struggling even after 20-40 years of meditation practice to improve their meditations. Apart from some obvious results on the mental, emotional and overall spiritual level, very few reach enlightenment, and this is a fact. So obviously there is something missing somewhere. And the major problem, in my opinion, is the lack of clarity…

3Q gives us precisely that!
3Q methodology was a breakthrough discovery for me.

This is a perfectly comprehensive, wonderfully structured teaching that Richard Griffiths has given us on the matter of ego and true self which is most often partially understood or misunderstood completely. And it comes with a ridiculously simple and clear method which takes us from ego to soul in just seconds. It is so simple, that I myself found it hard to believe, in the beginning, that it was effective and true.

My years of previous practice have undoubtedly prepared me to receive this teaching in its purest form and enabled me to deeply resonate with it. But the great news is that it is so simple and so well explained, that anyone can understand it and do it!!!

This method is actually THE portable instrument which you can have at your disposal anytime you want to Be who you truly are, your True Self, That which you were always searching for at the wrong pole of your attention. And by using this method to finally make the complete shift of identity from ego to True Self.

I sincerely appreciate and applaud Richard’s amazing work with great joy and fulfilment as I understand and feel that finally, this is something which will bring us all – who resonate with it – to a new, deeper understanding of our true nature and a method to make the shift from ego to soul so easily, which applied widely will bring about the next stage in the development of the consciousness of humanity on Earth.

It is obvious that only by making this essential shift in our consciousness, one by one and each for others (through guiding them to this understanding) will we be able to save humanity from self-destruction and bring about heaven on Earth.

If not us, then who???

My first 3 months of 3Q practice was on and off, but I would most of the time remember to do the 3Q Portal throughout the day during different activities. Then, when I started to notice the amazing benefits it had in my life, I committed to a 30 minutes of practicing the 3Q Portal every day.

Now it literally feels that I entered a different dimension of my existence. The perspective is calmer, wider and more meaningful and fulfilling. I noticed that the benefits started to occur throughout the day after I am doing the Portal, even when I attend to other matters. So I started to pay attention more closely to what happens, so that I can measure my progress and overall life enhancement.

Only after 4 months, I now don’t need to do the 3 steps anymore to get to the subject pole. I just take a deep breath, acknowledge myself as presence and I am there. From then on I just keep my attention on my state of presence, on the feeling I AM and rejoice in that state, and just BE.

So, the first thing that I noticed was a huge relief from any kind of struggle, from the constant mind chatter, from that exhausting endless conversations in my mind that I so much wanted to get out of, but could never escape it. It was draining me of energy and I often found myself exhausted and powerless.

This relief has brought me a great sense of general joy and peace and calm, and the availability to be more tolerant and serene throughout the day.

I feel my perceptions and the way I live my life are more vivid now, more wise and I am more warm in my responses to others. I do not react so much anymore, but I feel that my responses are springing from that peaceful, joyful state which is my true nature.

I feel that now I can rely on this place in any situation. It is a tremendous relief to have that knowing in your awareness as a base for your life journey.

It is more easier for me now to notice my poisonous ego reactions when they occur and immediately shift to the subject pole, almost as an automatic reflex now…

I believe that most people do not even realise what a relief this is: to be able to find your peace anytime, at will, to be free of that eternal struggle (in forms of anger, anxiety, depression, etc.) of the ego, because they do not have a reference for it.

Knowing that you have a place in your own being where you can go anytime, which you can access through the 3Q Portal, where there is always peace and joy and love and compassion and integrity is an immense relief in a persons life.

It is an immense relief from stress, it is the insurance, something you can always count on now, that there is a place in your being where you can be in peace, with wisdom and compassion, and love, no matter the situations life brings about.

Just imagine how that would feels like in your life!
Just take a moment and imagine.
This is what the 3Q Portal makes possible for you.
And you don’t even need to do all the 3 steps after a while.

After you have developed your 3Q neural pathways, your brain will activate your spiritual intelligence spontaneously, as a way of being… as the natural way to be. So you will no longer need the 3 steps anymore; a deep breath or just an intention will be enough to take you there.

This state of peace which can be yours every time you decide you want peace is a real treasure which is inherently yours, you were born with it. It is a great mystery which you can tap into with the help of the Portal, and in the same time a great personal asset.

We need to understand that these qualities (peace, joy, love, wisdom, compassion, integrity, creativity) are our innate qualities which we can access anytime, we just need to reach out to our soul and be who we truly are to be able to access them at will.

This gesture of shifting to the subject pole, to BE our true self, interrupts the ego’s constant search for satisfaction and instead we become joy and peace itself. This joy you can feel, this joy that you are every time you are being your true self, together with the other innate qualities of the soul are amazing rewards themselves, for an amazing life.

And they amplify your perceptions and expand your awareness in ways you cannot even imagine right now. All life becomes more rich, more vivid, more joyful, more care-free.

I just realised one of these days that I am now connecting with people from my feeling dimension and not from my thinking mind anymore. This brought a lightness, a contentedness, a joy and peace to the conversation, a sense of encompassing all that is in that certain communication frame…

Communicating like this with all of life, spontaneously relating from the heart instead of from the head (like I used to – and only now realising it) is always immensely fulfilling, meaningful, and worthwhile.

Recently I noticed that my intuition became stronger, more persistent and often includes pre-cognition. I would sense usually one day before something which would happen the next day.

My ego reactions are not so strong anymore and I notice more quickly if I am being emotionally hijacked and somehow with that awareness alone, the shift to the soul is happening spontaneously, without any effort. It is like a new (true) me who is taking the lead of my life.

I also discovered a new dimension of my breathing that I never knew was there. Most of my life I had problems with my breathing. From time to time it became very difficult for me to breath in enough air and I felt like suffocating.

After I decided to do the Portal daily for 30 minutes, the next day something just clicked inside me and I could discover a new way of breathing which is more deep into the abdomen, rather then shallow (only thoracic and clavicle breathing).

The level of anxiety my body was used to for so many years (due to some traumas) did not allow me to breathe in deeply enough,
and I would usually struggle to take a full, satisfying breathe. But now, after that click has happened, and I discovered this new, deeper dimension of my breathing capability, I feel more safe because I know I will now be able to take a complete breath in whenever I need it. This is another huge relief.

Overall, this relief that I am feeling, just fills my life with joy and aliveness, and freedom. It feels like the constant mind tension just got out of the way and now I am able to feel the peace that was there all along. And this way of living exceeds by far any expectation or imagination that I had about how I thought I wanted my life to be.

I am so much looking forward to share my experience, to share the science and practice of spiritual intelligence with people from all over the world as a real and the most efficient and powerful means to end any kind of struggle (of the ego), to have enduring fulfilment and to find the life purpose everyone is seeded with within and knowingly or unknowingly seeks to fulfil. Peace & Joy!”

Bastianela Gloria – Coach and Trainer

“I started in my late teens asking myself the question about « Who am I? » and if God truly existed and what it would mean to me in my life and in my relationships. Indeed, I couldn’t understand wars, the suffering and the cruelty we, as humans, have been able to engage with on both sides as persecutors or as victims. It tore my heart and the quest started.
I stopped watching the news and preferred searching answers from psychology and all spiritual – yet mystical branches or philosophical – traditions. I needed to understand who I am, who we are and why we do what we do because I dreamt daily and nightly for deep peace in our hearts and the ability to express infinite Love towards ourselves and in our relationships. To me, it seemed so simple to speak my heart and yet so many seemed to have forgotten.”

“The reading of spiritual books or accounts of magnificent human beings who experienced the worst of wars and were able to stay steadfastly one with Love, Hope and Forgiveness constantly reminded me of the only one true power that is pure Infinite Love. With this in mind, as a young adult I kept exploring my key question by letting myself feel in my body the full spectrum of human emotions. The approaches I used were diverse, amongst them: sophrology, relaxation, self-hypnosis, art therapy, constellation family etc.… However, the quest didn’t seem to have reached a satisfactory answer. My soul kept knocking at the door, I had to continue digging. Indeed, everything I tried brought pieces of answer that would help me in my understanding, and make me feel good and uncover filters after filters that we all buy from our parents, society or cultures at large. This is when I somehow decided to try meditation. I had nothing to lose.
Bigger changes following my meditation practice with the discovery of energy work started to happen in my life, e.g. changing completely my professional career. I must say every practice, step I would make, has always been provided with wonderful circles of human love: by supporting the new direction or pushing me towards it as it felt at times. And finally, I came « face-to-face » with my heart and decided to trust it totally no matter what. Yet, even if I was meditating in combination with the great assistance of technology (that always fascinates me) like biofeedback or different sound frequencies, I still kept searching and another beautiful soul brought to my awareness: Spiritual Intelligence practice.
That was like and still is like a « Big Bang » in my life. Total awe.
The reconnection to my soul by following such simple steps with such a rapid shift and with the ability to live my daily life answered my question. My mind needed its own understanding, Spiritual Intelligence articles are so clear and to the point with all the nuances and articulations that perfectly present our human endeavors at being in the world throughout time and cultures. I must admit that thanks to my background as a scholar and as soul searcher, it is my mind and my heart that rejoiced in union, finally.
In other words, Spiritual Intelligence explanations and practice might appear extremely simple and yet my mind can seize and my heart feels the profundity and clarity that lie in it.
I found myself blessed to have started the Spiritual Intelligence practice when I also started my new life direction, which is a big shift. Even if my life experience has provided me with the ability to adapt easily and to study with passion, going from the arts world into the scientific one in order to study conventional medicine is a big step that took me 20 years to make. And even if I enter novelty with 100% enthusiasm, The stakes at this point in my life seemed high and thus this perception does create quite an amount of background stress since nothing in my life seems a « normal, conventional » path.
Thanks to Spiritual Intelligence practice and training, e.g. we are not left alone, but Mr. Richard Griffiths stays and follows through so we can deepen our practice and understanding, I have been able to balance IQ and EQ and use my SQ to go through daily demands, misperceptions and misunderstandings or exams in such a more graceful, loving and faster (efficient) manner. If my ego filter is still present, it doesn’t get in the way of my soul any longer and it knows it is well taken care of.
With SQ practice and training, I can enjoy witnessing this life experience and let my soul expresses itself more fluidly through the body-mind complex.
The gap between being, doing and thinking received its bridge, and unity is more easily revealed.”
