The Visionary Path

The Visionary Path: Transforming Stress Into Purpose

Each one of us has the qualities of a visionary; we were born to excel with focus, calm and intention. The problem is that this day and age has not taught us how to use our visionary qualities too well. More often than not, we succumb to stress, fear, and exhaustion. Our lives can quickly resemble safe but anxious cave dwellers'. So how can stress management help you to transform your reality into one of a visionary creator? Maria Ian emphasizes that we shouldn't want to live without our stress, anxieties, and fears. It is these that contain the gems of brilliance, guiding us from basic A-ha! moments to awareness to a brilliantly awake consciousness, and to focus and creativity. During this introductory episode, Maria will take you on a journey of the podcast's main themes so you can derive maximum benefit from what you will learn in the coming 12 weeks, including from the weekly exercises of self-exploration and the companion cognitive neuroscience book, The Visionary Path, there for you to grab on Amazon.
