THE INTEGRATED APPROACH This approach is unique in that the assumption from which we begin is that we already have what it takes to change our lives; perhaps a little refinement here and there- perhaps the development of a few more life skills, but intrinsically we only need encouragement and the hint of a new possibility. Our minds will do the rest. The root meaning of education is to draw out and we have been more programmed to fill ourselves with information, which sabotages our intuition and real intelligence. So it is essential to realise the difference between information, knowledge intuition and wisdom. Each has its place and the integration of all these qualities is the path of the intelligent person.

INTEGRATED LIVING
Everyone has been made for some particular work and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. Rumi
OBJECTIVES The objectives are to encourage and educate each person or business to believe in and experience the power of enthusiasm for the work done and the life chosen. It is commonly known by health experts that the division between the work place and peoples private lives is a major cause of disease and contributes largely to stress. It is important to eliminate this distinction and to learn to live a more total and balanced life where each day life and work are enjoyed to the maximum. Assisting new businesses, careers, entrepreneurial ventures and professions, all form part of the focus of this approach. THE INTEGRATED APPROACH This approach is unique in that the assumption from which we begin is that we already have what it takes to change our lives; perhaps a little refinement here and there- perhaps the development of a few more life skills, but intrinsically we only need encouragement and the hint of a new possibility. Our minds will do the rest. The root meaning of education is to draw out and we have been more programmed to fill ourselves with information, which sabotages our intuition and real intelligence. So it is essential to realise the difference between information, knowledge intuition and wisdom. Each has its place and the integration of all these qualities is the path of the intelligent person.
WHAT IS RESPONSE-ABILITY? It is more accurate to think in terms of response-ability than responsibility. With responsibility, we do things out of duty become resentful and are generally unhappy about our lot in life. With response- ability whatever we have to do has to be done now, because yesterday is no more and to-morrow has not come yet. All that is available to us is to day and today is enough. And whatever we do, we do with a joyful heart and enthusiasm. This fresh approach called response-ability is not polluted by worry, duty, seriousness or burden, but is more a playful and imaginative response to life. As we develop response-ability, our intelligence and intuition increase and we are confident about our decisions and choices. We can either react or we can respond to each situation. Response has nothing to do with memory; it has something to do with our awareness. You see the situation out of clarity and you act accordingly independent of the psychological memory of the past.
ENERGY, FREEDOM AND CHOICE As soon as we acknowledge that we are capable of changing our lives the next step is to change our energy patterns and beliefs. Over years of habitual thinking and an ingrained mind-set we have grown accustomed to believing that the niche we have carved out for ourselves is the only avenue available. However there are ways to change our circumstances if only we could admit that we would like things better. If we can do this then we will have the strength and determination to change our lives. Choose from your freedom to give meaning to your work- meaning rather than importance. Intrinsic in meaning is the door to totality. Intrinsic in importance is the door to seriousness. With meaning and totality there is an endless supply of energy. With importance and seriousness, our work will be a struggle and we all know it.
A BETTER WORK SOLUTION Work should be considered more as a play and the one who succeeds at this game is simply the better player. The fact is that we can all become players of this game. We have become very serious about work and very ambitious about its end results. This often contributes to a state of tension, disease, illness and anxiety, all of them absolutely unnecessary. With ordinary work the real thing is just about the future, about the end result. In play there is no result as such and the process is totally enjoyable. This does not mean we do not get the work done. In fact we get a lot more done as we are coming from a different space inside and working long hours sometimes, is a pleasure not drudgery. We have a new zest for life and a crystal-clear confidence.
FEAR OF TOTALITY One of the central factors affecting our work and our relationships is our fear of totality and involvement. The usual incredible activity surrounding all our lives is not total unless it has within it the element of awareness, relaxation and enjoyment. With awareness of ourselves, our actions, thoughts and feelings, work is transformed into a higher possibility. Simply put, this is awareness of what happens within us while we work. With this new outlook working as a means to knowing ourselves can be the foundation to living more totally whether in relationships or work. At this new level we can work more from a state of overflow and discover that our work has become a game that we play and one at which we can do extremely well. Through this change we cannot help but succeed. One of the sure signs of knowing whether we have been total is that when total energy is involved we never feel exhausted.
WORK AS A KEY TO RELAXATION One of the fundamentals is that energy needs work otherwise the energy will become restless. Energy needs expressing, energy needs to be creative. However, if the busy and active person cannot relax, the work becomes obsessive and the person becomes driven, over ambitious and neurotic. So the paradox remains- unless we can work and enjoy we cannot really relax; and unless we can relax silently when needed, we cannot really work totally.
THE CAMEL, THE LION AND THE CHILD There is an analogy, which can be very helpful in finding out from which space we are functioning in work and in our relationships. It is referred to as the Camel, the Lion and the Child. As a camel one feels as if he ought to contribute or work and usually does as he is told, follows authority and has a feeling of being owed something. As a lion one contributes when and where she/he wants and this can accompany a strong or subtle concern for outer freedom. However as a child he is eager, willing and adventurous, able to be spontaneous and is more concerned with inner freedom. While we work it can be beneficial to observe in what space we are and from which of the above energies we are operating. As we become more aware of the habit patterns that drive us, we gradually learn to be more empowered in our dealings with others and we are able to tap into the strength and decisiveness appropriate for intelligent action.
THE HEIRARCHY OF NEEDS There is a hierarchy of needs known as Maslows system and briefly put the principles are that for personal fulfilment specific needs must be met. Some of them are physiological such as food, water and exercise. Yet others are concerned with safety such as security, order and protection. There are also social needs like belonging, love and esteem, needs of prestige, status and acknowledgement. Unless there is some deep satisfaction in regard to
these needs, at some level it will be difficult to relax and the recognition of our essential nature not easy to attain.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS MEAN TO YOU? In defining success it is important to establish the meaning for each of us as this word means different things to everyone. One of the ways to fine-tune our radar is to find out what it is we want. Mostly people do not know what they want and this of course adds to the confusion. Often they tend to believe that they are better off than others and therefore should not complain. However this belief is of no use to them and in fact does not assist them in finding out what they want. How will you know when you get what you want and what would you be doing? What would you feel and where would you be? Once you find what it is that fulfils you, the rest is easy and the energy to do what is required follows automatically.
WHAT IS THE WESTERN ENIGMA? It is a very Western idea to have a separation of work and enjoyment in our society. There needs to be a totally new vision which does not split life into work and rest and this can only be done on an individual level. Relaxation and work are not opposite; it is a wrong notion to think you are working too hard and need a rest. If we enjoy totally whatever we are doing this split will disappear and we will be far more productive, happier and relaxed. This new vision is radical and will contribute to a healthier person in body, mind and spirit. Furthermore the many things which overwhelmed us and we were simply incapable of doing will now be possible.
WHY NOT MAKE WORK RESPECTABLE? Another approach that can dissolve the split between work and rest is to make all work respectable and change the attitude that surrounds it. Awareness and creativity should be part of the work and in this way everybody can experience work in a totally unique way. Not only would our communication be clearer but also those constant misunderstandings that often sabotage our business and personal life would disappear. We all want to get along better with each other, and respect the work our fellow human being has decided to follow. Working with these new principles will radically change the way you do business, conduct your relationships, increase your energy, and move you towards the goals you wish to achieve.

Testimonials I was working for a small legal firm and was continually being told what to do. As I was never receiving any encouragement I never gave my best. After coaching with Sam for sometime I left the job and started my own practice. There is now more responsibility, excitement and personal reward in my life. I am very grateful to him for his inspiration and practical know-how which gave me the start I was looking for. JF, Solicitor, San Souci
I was working as a secretary for many years and always talking about being a therapist. With the principles adopted and Sams persistent approach and encouragement that I could be what I wanted to be, I dropped my job and started my own business within 6 months. I had been trying for years to get out of the job and also using what I thought to be some very powerful methods. Having now done it I realise that it was always within my grasp but that I had only lacked the proper tools and the right inspiration. LCR, Remedial Therapist, Pymble
The work I have done with Sam has given me the courage to allow myself to create a space within, to live my life with full creativity and a loving heart. This same space has also made it possible for me to connect with my personal power to create what I desire for myself in my life, on all levels. Which until that day, I had only ever dreamt of. For this Sam I am eternally grateful. RSC, Counsellor, Trauma Therapist, Kogarah
As a Graphic Designer, I am very good but lacked the confidence to manage a team and gain the support of my managers. With the Mentoring program I embarked upon with Sam, I realised that some of my old self-defeating patterns had too strong a grip on my life. Through gentle yet powerful processes, Sam guided me through a series of opportunities that have now given me the confidence and creativity I needed in my professional and personal life. P. Atol, Graphics Designer, North Sydney
I have been a Real Estate Developer for over 30 years and have made fortunes and lost them again. I seemed to be going around and around in circles exhibiting a predictable yet destructive cycle of gain and loss. Through an extensive re-assessment of my personal values I have turned my life around completely and now look to a very bright future of wealth, security and self-esteem, which up until now had escaped me. I will be recommending Sams Mentoring Program to anyone in business or a profession, who feels like they have lost their way and need some light thrown on their situation and would like a new start. K.B.H, Director Killara
When I met Sam, I had got through most of my inheritance on unsound investments, through poor judgment and lack of clarity and low self-worth. Over a period of three months on the Professional program, I slowly began to find my way back to my original clarity and energy. Now, that the program is over I feel strong and resolute and have now begun to write the books and market myself the way I have always wanted. Without the encouragement and clarity provided by the program I would have been unable to see the way ahead. J.S.C. Conscious Awareness thru Health, Coogee
