If you want to FEEL different -then do the Process!

I did the Hoffman Process almost three years ago and have referred many people to it since then. I can, with an open heart, honestly say that doing the Process was the biggest gift I could have ever given myself, my parents and all the people I love. If you have a voice within that is searching for something and you just don't know what it is -then consider the Process. The only way I can describe it is as the imperative missing link to the million piece puzzle that made up me and my life. The Process is loving and very powerful and was the key to organic lasting change for me.

Hoffman Process extracts the psychic scream/root of pain

Have you ever noticed that no matter how much you know ... it doesn't make a difference? Have you struggled with very long-standing childhood-based hurts that no amount of seminars, workshops, support groups, or counselling has been able to help resolve 100%? If you find yourself on a seemingly endless search for healing without permanent measureable relief then the Hoffman Process may be for you. The Hoffman Process has been described as the world's best kept secret. Presented in an 8-day residential retreat around the world, the process has been endorsed and advocated by many medical doctors, psychologists, and others in the healing profession. Known for its breakthrough results and ability to gently "crack the hardest nut (no pun intended)", the Hoffman Process helps participants achieve a connection with self by releasing decades of hurt, anger, resentment, vindictiveness, and other destructive negative emotions and behaviors. People from all walks of life have benefited from this remarkable loving program. I am a graduate of the Hoffman Process and truly believe this is the only method that fully releases people of the roots of pain, anger, and the torture of negativity. The beauty of the process is that it connects the head and the heart while removing destructive self-sabotage patterns that one has believed ingrained in themselves. Hoffman produces a powerful relief. It is not a cure-all, and one has to do the work to get the benefit, but nothing else I have tried has brought to me such a sweet place of serene tranquility and joy. For those of you who have tried all sorts of healing methods and still are plagued with inner struggle ... I highly urge you to consider the Hoffman Process. The Institute in the US offers scholarships and there are financing options in both Canada and the US. There is a fresh air of sincerity, open-hearted, and authentic realism in the Hoffman Institute staff and its teachers. Unlike some programs of positive thinking or human potential peak performance, there is no hard sales tactics, no manipulation to take more courses, no fostering co-dependancy, no coercion in getting your friends to do courses, or any other uncomfortable tactics. Hoffman is a a gentle, loving, cleansing, mind-body-soul techniques endorsed by some of the most prominant names in medicine and psychology today. There is a freedom of choice and a freedom to be, that in itself is a journey of gold! This is a must read for those committed to self-growth and/or are Hoffman graduates. Isn't it time to be free of unhealthy core issues rather than just successfully coping and palliating them?

Amazing

I attended the Hoffman Process in 1998. I have referred over 25 people. It is brilliant in its simplicity and power. Everything Tim talks about in the book is right on. I encourage everyone to go to their web site and explore the University level research that has been conducted around this process. It is incredible! Look at this organizations Board of Directors and Advisory Board, and you will get the idea of how powerful this approach really is. Give yourself the gift, and step into a better way of being.....Rich

Great stuff

This is an amazing book. Having read a lot of spiritual/self-help books over the years, this one soars on top of my list. I really liked the author's style - no pretentions and easy to understand. The exercises felt very indepth to me and extremely thought (and emotion!) provoking. I rate this book very high.

Surprising insights on yourself

The best I ever read for information and practical exercises to enhance and empower the quality of everyday life
