Critical Thinking: A necessary super-power in today's world


Critical Thinking can be considered a superpower in this modern world, as it is not widely used and certainly not welcomed by those who create a cloud or veil of deception to exploit and manipulate. Often, perceptions are introduced as facts, speculations as evidence and opinions as truth, and information is manipulated in order to influence our thinking, emotions and actions. This can be seen in politics, government, business, marketing, mainstream as well as social media.

Are you ready to embark on this journey to Critical Thinking which will empower you to live your life with confidence, greater authenticity and success?


 

Journey to the Soul


What would it be like to become soul-conscious and soar and break through your present boundaries?

Using powerful metaphysical techniques such as mindfulness, meditation and visualisation, cognitive scientist, author and spiritual teacher, Dr Jimmy Henderson takes you on an inner journey to break free from the limits of everyday thinking and discover the depths of your own mind. Reconnect to your authentic selves and beyond that, your very essence or innermost being, your soul.

With an extensive background in both science and psychology, the author uses simple language and real-life examples and experiences to guide you every step of the way along your own personal journey to soul.

However, you may be wondering exactly what this means to you and how you can benefit from this new knowledge?

Bestselling author Dr Jimmy Henderson, a cognitive scientist with a background in science and technology, has devoted years to the study of psychology, especially the deeper realms of the subconscious mind. Using his unique approach of multi-dimensional thinking, he introduces you to new ideas on self, creation, reality, time and space, life after death and the idea of a universal mind or consciousness behind it all.

Mindfulness

Developing mindfulness usually means coaching clients to reach a new understanding of themselves, their circumstances and their options in life, as well as training them in new skills designed to improve mental focus, thinking and creativity.

Personal Development

Development can take place in many areas of a person’s life, including one’s level of mindfulness, self-insight, emotional wellness, critical thinking and moral or spiritual ethics and values.

Emotional Intelligence

E.I. is becoming very important in a world in which success in business, as well as your personal life, depends on your ability to show understanding, to express empathy for others and to have good relationships.

Critical Thinking

I teach clients to approach the world with a healthy scepticism and think independently and critically, to recognise inconsistencies and common mistakes in reasoning, to cut through the ‘hype’, to uncover hidden agendas and to approach problems logically and systematically.

Spiritual Development

For those who are seeking an understanding of spiritual and ethical principles, I offer mentoring in intuitive and spiritual development.

Trauma Counselling

I am also able to offer trauma counselling training to lay-counsellors, trauma centre volunteers, employee assistance programme workers, and those who work with death and the dying on a everyday basis, such as paramedics and hospice workers.
