Beautiful meditation, Bethany. I wept many times. Perfect timing. Thank you so much!
Really enjoying the meditation from the last class. VERY relevant to my life right now. Thanks!
Thanks, Bethany, for the opportunity to continue with this work. I’ve learned a great deal from you and also from each member of the group
I’ll miss every one of you and your insights and laughter. Bethany, our zoom sessions and meditations have been excellent—you have a wealth of knowledge and expertise. And the opportunity to send healing light and energy to each other has been wonderful.
Beautiful, Bethany!! Just love your class. Thanks for sharing.
I am definitely on board with continuing our adventure together and hope everyone feels the same. This has been such a great learning experience and I know I have much more to gather from the group.
Your program has helped me get clear and helped me focus on my essence, especially in the body and on my goals. I am grateful. I know our paths will cross again.
Many blessings
Thank you Bethany! I love what you are teaching. I Am looking forward to the next round of classes
Although now retired, I had worked many years in high-stress jobs. The infamous “burnout” had only been a matter of time. After a couple of years’ residency in the self-help aisle of a book store, I realized they were all offering the same narrative. Although helpful, something was missing. Something BIG!
Bethany’s coaching incorporated the missing pieces. She has a way of synthesizing large bodies of information together and offering it to us in smaller packets of information that helps us live each day with greater joy and ease. She supports each class with a wealth of resources, including integrating findings in neuroscience with spirituality. This information leads us to adeptly conquer the not-so-pleasant situations in our lives through greater knowledge of our nervous system. In doing so, we take control of our lives, improving our health, relationships, and most importantly, our union with the Universal Mind, or Consciousness. This may seem like a difficult or possibly boring endeavor- But it’s Not! Before class, Bethany likes to quip, “It’s time to have Fun!” She holds our interest through captivating, illustrative classes, thought-provoking discussions, group shares, and my favorite- her uniquely prepared, and always soul-touching, meditations.
I know my introduction to Bethany and her work was not by happenstance. She was the guest speaker at an event I attended many years ago. (1st clue) Something kept nudging me to tuck her into the backfile of my brain; for what, I didn’t know. Eight years had passed since that initial acquaintance as, one day in the waiting room of my chiropractor’s office; I found myself flipping through the pages of a health magazine when (2nd clue) an interesting course title caught my eye, and Bethany was the presenter! Without hesitation, or a chance to read the course description, I immediately registered for the course and I have been studying with her for several years now.
As Bethany often teaches, once we tap into the body’s hidden electrical potential, we gain a greater connection with the transcendent light of infinite knowledge and pure love. We learn to observe the synchronicities in our lives as we play with our infinite nature.
My student-teacher relationship with Bethany Gonyea continues after many years with a bonus of genuine friendship. We all comment on her uncanny way of reaching out to support us when we need it most!
Thank you, Bethany, for devoting your life of loving guidance to humanity.
