"There can be no transforming of darkness into light ... without emotion." -Jung Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the core of my training. It embraces the past's belief systems that affect your present. It's a state of mind that defines thinking that affects emotion. To become aware is not to change, but to understand and accept.
