  • Battered by the events of the last few years and the toll they have taken on your mental, emotional, and physical health
  • Unable to identify or analyze patterns related to your emotional responses

This life-changing, live-giving class includes 4 sections with 56 pre-recorded short lessons, as well as 3 LIVE Q&A sessions.
Section 1: Introduction
In her groundbreaking program, Dr. Cheryl Townsley will help you transform your messy emotions into growth opportunities, calling, and purpose. 

As she shares from the rich well of her personal experiences, she offers tools and strategies that promote cooperation between your emotions and your biochemistry to release the natural “uppers” that drive positive health outcomes and connect you to your destiny.

You will learn to appreciate your emotions for what they truly are — indicators of disconnection from God’s design for your life — and discover how to focus on strengths that reconnect you with your true identity. Dr. Cheryl will unpack easy-to-implement tools that can quickly interrupt and reverse a state of emotional distress or anxiety, equipping you to take control when emotions try to overwhelm you.

Section 2: Your Brain and Your Emotions
The relationship between your brain and your emotions cannot be overemphasized. In this section, Dr. Cheryl will demonstrate how the brainstem cerebellum and the logic of the frontal lobe work together to create a sense of safety. 

When the brainstem perceives something as unsafe, the sympathetic nervous system goes into fight or flight mode, leading to physical and emotional distress. Trauma, injury, and other factors can impact the brain’s ability to feel safe, leading to a cascade of negative effects on the body and mind. 

The interrupt tools and replacement techniques unpacked in this section will equip you to move from a state of distress to one of peace, achieving a sense of calm and balance.

Lesson 1: What Disturbs Your Health?
This lesson will help you discover obvious and often over-looked sources of toxicity that are draining your body of health and reserves.

Lesson 2: Eat More of What God Created and Less of What Man Messed Up!
Learn how to take baby steps in improving your health by moving toward more of what God created in produce, meats, fish, dairy, and more. This simplifies the eating process.

Lesson 3: What Does Scripture Say About Food?
Daniel is a great example of following God’s prescription for diet and being found ten times greater than the best in the kingdom. Understanding Biblical perspective of food without legalism sets the stage for being at your best.

Lesson 4: Blood Type Considerations
Each of the four blood types has strengths and weaknesses. This lesson will help you identify your blood type and understand how it affects you.

Lesson 5: Inflammation: What Is It?
Inflammation is at the root of all disease. Inflammation automatically happens during threat and stress. Learning how to recognize it and how to begin reversing it gives you the opportunity to be healthier and slow down the aging process.

Lesson 6: Digestion Basics
When you don’t digest your food, you can’t obtain the energy found in the food. Learn the symptoms that reflect poor digestion and what you can do to address them.

Lesson 7: Address Cravings
Cravings are the body saying it needs something. Learning how to interpret your cravings and give your body what it is looking for is so much easier than trying to use will power alone, which simply doesn’t work.

Lesson 8: Recommended Supplements
Supplements should simply be “supplemental” to a healthy lifestyle. Learn the priorities to build your optimal supplement program and where to find them at the best-prices.

Section 3: Emotion Clock
Jeremiah 31:12 offers a beautiful promise — to flow like a well-watered garden — which emphasizes the need to set boundaries, create margin, and increase your capacity to deal with stress. 

In the next three sessions, Dr. Cheryl introduces the concept of an “emotion clock” to help identify emotional strengths and weaknesses throughout the day. Different times of day can be more difficult than others, causing you to make poor decisions or engage in self-sabotaging behaviors. 

By using the emotion clock, you can identify the emotions you struggle with at certain times and work to improve them. This enables you to flow through your day and navigate challenges more easily, leading to a more enjoyable and fulfilling life. You will discover that the key is not to fix negative emotions, but to interrupt, disconnect, replace, and connect to your strengths.

  • Lesson 11: Emotion Clock — Vulnerable Times
  • Lesson 12: Imbalanced Emotions
  • Lesson 13: Power of Flowing
Lesson 1: Introduction to Soul Health

Lesson 2: Connect to Courage
Whenever God calls you to change, He says “Do not fear, be of good courage.” Learning how to connect to good courage empowers you to make changes without the brainstem stepping into fear and shutdown.

Lesson 3: How Your Brain Works: Introduction
Without understanding your brain, you unknowingly create patterns of self-sabotage. Understanding the brain lets you optimize the scripture, Matthew 11:28–30, which says, “His way is easy!” Discover the true importance of easy.

Lesson 4: How Your Brain Works: Flow
There is a flow to how your brainstem (not your logical brain) operates. Input plus interpretation create the given output.

Lesson 5: How Your Brain Works: Input
Input relates to the sensory information coming in from your skin, joints, smell, taste, sight, sound, and touch. Some input locations may not be working effectively, thus taking in inaccurate, or incomplete input.

Lesson 6: How Your Brain Works: Interpretation
Your brainstem interprets input data based on past trauma, programs, beliefs, and experiences. Your brain doesn’t store facts, it stores those interpretations at the time of the incidents.

Lesson 7: How Your Brain Works: Stress/Threat Bucket
Stress is anything that is unfamiliar, unknown, or unpredictable. Stress accumulates if it isn’t reset. Learn how the stress bucket is operating in your life.

Lesson 8: How Your Brain Works: Output
When your brain and body are struggling, you experience chronic pain, insomnia, poor digestion, brain fog, anxiety, depression, and so much more. Learn how to interpret your output.

Lesson 9: How Your Brain Works: Fuel
Your brain needs fuel: oxygen, water, and food. Without adequate fuel, your brain will shut down or even go into a form of lock down.

Lesson 10: How Your Brain Works: Your Brain Likes Easy
Learning how to step into change that the brain thinks is safe is key for any long-lasting change. This is foundational yet goes against your logic!

Lesson 11: How Your Brain Works: Range of Motion
Range of motion becomes the best assessment process to know if your brainstem likes or doesn’t like anything. Once you learn how to assess your body, you can discover so much about what does or doesn’t work for you.

Lesson 12: How Your Brain Works: Mobility Drills
Easy mobility drills help you create flexibility in your body. The high pay-off drills in this lesson are time-tested with great results. You can use Range of Motion to determine which ones work best for you.

Lesson 13: Resets: Vagus Nerve
The Vagus Nerve is the most important nerve in the body. It is the only one that goes into the brain and into the body. It impacts cognition, tight neck and shoulders, voice, breathing, and digestion. Learn how to reset your Vagus Nerve.

Lesson 14: Resets: Breathing
Breathing is the indicator that lets the brainstem know if it is safe or unsafe. Most people are unaware of shallow breathing or holding their breath. Learn simple ways to improve quality, deep breathing which immediately supports brain health.

Lesson 15: Resets: Startle Reflex
When we go through trauma, the startle reflex is automatically turned on. This can happen at birth or any time after. Learn how to identify it and reset it. This works for children as well as adults.

Lesson 16: Resets: Pineal/Pituitary/Hypothalamus
These glands in the brain impact sleep, digestion, hunger, thirst, and much more. Learning how to easily reset them can have many benefits and often help with sleep and a sense of calmness. They take less than a minute to reset once you know how.

Lesson 17: How Emotions and Traumas Are Stored in the Body
Emotions are energy and when we swallow them, they go somewhere. They become underlying factors in health in many ways.

Lesson 18: Creating Congruency
Congruency is the measurement of whether you are single-minded or double-minded. When you are double-minded, you are unstable and can’t create the changes you desire.

Lesson 19: Creating Margin
If you have no savings in your finances and you are hit with an unexpected bill, you can’t pay it. When your body is out of energy, you don’t have the capacity to heal. Learn how you can create margin to enhance your healing.
Section 4: Bach Flower Essences
Emotions are often left out of the equation when we consider the factors that need to be in alignment to ensure complete and vibrant health — even though they can often be the biggest trigger and the most puzzling. 

In this final section, Dr. Cheryl reveals another natural and easy therapy that can help turn your situation around: Bach Flower Essences. This final section boasts 39 lessons, with each one focused on a different flower and its therapeutic qualities. 

As Dr. Cheryl says, it is important to remember that it’s not about what’s wrong with you, it’s about what you’re NOT connected to — your own God-given strengths. Through these lessons, she will teach you how to incorporate flower essences with other techniques so you can move beyond messy emotions and find God’s love, joy, and peace in every situation!

Lesson 1: Introduction to Spirit Health

Lesson 2: Soul Ties
When you give your heart and soul to a person, place, or thing, you create a soul tie. Often soul ties are limited to intimate relationships. However, a person can have a soul tie to food, health, trauma, and so much more. Learn how to pray through and disconnect from unhealthy soul ties.

Lesson 3: Offenses
Offenses can impact spiritual and physical health. The Bible talks about offenses, yet few people have connected them to their health. Discover the connection and how to pray through to disconnect from past and present offenses.

Lesson 4: Walls of Resistance
Resistance keeps you stuck where you are. Resistance reflects your brainstem feeling unsafe in moving forward and it will resist your best intentions. Discover where resistance may be sabotaging you.

The Israelites took forty years to complete an eleven-day journey due to complaining and murmuring. Discover how these habits could be the foxes stealing your best health from you.

Discover how engaging in community can be a powerful tool in helping you prioritize your goals, plan action, and set a course to stay in alignment with the shalom health God has for you. You will end this lesson with the next steps you need to continue your journey into health, wholeness, and fulfilling your destiny in God’s shalom.
Lesson 1: Build a Solid Foundation
When building a physical house to live in, it is impossible to install critical systems such as plumbing and electrical before pouring the foundation for the building to sit on. This is not only true with construction, but also with your finances. Unless you have a foundation of strong financial principles to build upon in proper sequence, your financial house cannot function properly! In this lesson you will learn what these Biblical financial principles are, and how you can implement them to create a solid foundation to build upon.
Lesson 2: Seek Vision, Not Provision
Do you work in your chosen field because you have a vision you are pursuing, or because you’re pursuing the income that the field brings with it? In this lesson, Craig teaches the principle that is critical to understand when it comes to your finances: provision follows vision, not the other way around!
