Core Transformation is a process developed by Connirae and Tamara Andreas and described in their book Core Transformation: Reaching the Wellspring Within, published by Real People Press in1994. The following quotation comes from their literature describing the process:

"GENTLY YET POWERFULLY RESOLVE PROBLEMS AND FACILITATE PERSONAL CHANGE . . . .

"Used in an ongoing way, this is an amazing process that gently, yet powerfully, facilitates deep, lasting personal change. Like a subterranean spring that is released and cleanses the surface waters, this [training] offers specific methods for resolving problems and overcoming limitations. The experience of CORE TRANSFORMATION is often described as a sense of wholeness, peace or oneness.

• Manage stress to your advantage
• Turn limitations into an opportunity to learn and grow
• Gain a solid sense of Self throughout your daily life

"A BRIDGE TO YOUR INNER SELF

"Based on the pioneering work of Connirae Andres, CORE TRANSFORMATION is a breakthrough in the fields of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), psychology and spirituality. The CORE TRANSFORMATION experience is an easy to follow, ten-step process for transforming unwanted behaviors, thoughts and feelings by actually embracing them! Often, using this process, even the most trivial of problems can be a doorway leading you to a profound sense of self. As a result, many limitations melt away and you tap into a fresh wellspring of tranquillity.

[The book] detials a major process for improving relationships. It helps you come to a greater sense of self, while enhacing your ability to understand and be compassionate toward important others in your life."

• Enhance your personal and professional relationships
• Gain a deeper understanding of other people
• Develop greater compassion

"USE UNWANTED BEHAVIORS AND FEELINGS FOR A DEEP SENSE OF WELL-BEING

"CORE TRANSFORMATION works from the inside out to change unwanted behaviors, feelings and responses. When using the process through time, many people have an underlying sense of well-being, even when life is at its worst-like a calm harbor surrounded by a stormy sea.

"The amazing process is useful with all kinds of behaviors, from simple limitations like biting your nails, to deeper issues like trauma, anger, weight loss or abuse. . . . . even self-defeating behaviors were useful when we originally learned them.

"CORE TRANSFORMATION also helps you deal with the many stresses of everyday life. As a daily practice, it's an ideal way to take time out to connect with yourself when you're feeling overloaded"

• Helpful with the emotional aspects of health issues:
• Smoking
• Weight Loss & Weight Management
• Bulimia & Anorexia
• Physical Healing

• Useful with a variety of issues such as:
• Additions
• Abuse Recovery
• Habits like Nailbiting
• Dealing with your deep seated issues: Anger Depression, Low Self-Esteem, and More

"After you start using the CORE TRANSFORMATION process as a natural part of your life, you will have joy and peace throught your life like gentle ripples in a pond"

Back [THEOLOGICAL COMMENT TO Link . . . . .] At Gateway Resources we like this approach because it is congruent with our theology which is based in "realized eschatology"-that is, that essential structure of nature and being is already rooted and grounded in the present pervasive reality of the Resurrection and Ascension and Christ's filling all things: so, of course, underneath everything that we consider 'bad' would be something essentially good that we need only recover. We stand today already within the Second Coming of Christ and the Realm of God. Also the stance is irenic in the best Anglican tradition-including and making peace with ourselves and the whole creation-rather than condemning and fighting parts of our being. Alleluiah!
