Life Scripts - is a 1 DAY program Deep within our subconscious mind lies the "reptilian brain", which is the first brain formed as a developing fetus. This brain contains all the survival mechanisms we learn up until the time we are about 5 years old: the "don'ts" and the "can'ts" that we learn as a child from the authority figures who were charged with our care. Though hidden, the reptilian brain is alive and well, but it only operates in a stress situation. This makes it extremely difficult to recognize the negative messages that are still being played on its intact tape. Since we only have the power to give away or destroy something we own, we remain victims to these negative messages until we can claim ownership of them. Registration required.
