Orshi has been a fantastic coach, not only for Positive Intelligence, but also for my career development. The greatest value of Positive Intelligence is to recognize my saboteurs, label them, then transition them into associated sage ideas. In this way, I may bring a beam of sunlight behind a dry pale wall. In order to do so, some quick meditations called PQ Reps help me efficiently calm down then laser focus on mind-turning. The more often I practice, the quicker a rewiring of neural-pathway could be established towards bright and constructive thoughts. All the tips, tricks, and theories would be appreciated in a long way.
