I want you to know how valuable your newsletters are to me. I actually use a lot of your concepts in my groups for discussion. This one is particularly important because of the distinction you make between the ego and the soul. I've also used passages from your book to teach about feelings. It's been truly a blessing to me. Thank you so much.

21 Day Course Testimonials
My emotional healing started with a spinal cord injury of all things. While recovering in the hospital, I had to relearn how to do basic things. What helped were the therapists who were there providing support. This helped initiate a shift in attitude as before the accident I didn't see myself as a much of a capable person. After I left the hospital, I wondered what else I could do to improve myself. I went back to school and came off anti-depressants thinking I would be ok. Unfelt feelings started creeping up though and I didn't know how to deal with them. I spent most of that spring and summer visiting a few different counselors but made little headway. I wanted to learn how to be authentically empowered but spent almost all of the time with them just talking around the issue. Finally in desperation I gave Alexandra a call. Soon after our first session, I ordered her self-empowerment course.
Alexandra's 21-day self-empowerment course, Conscious Choice, Conscious Creation, is the most effective tool I have used to learn to be a happier person. Living with a spinal cord injury, this pursuit has been on going. As I went through the course, I shed old beliefs that didn't work for me as I learned how to relate to life. I feel much more able to approach life with a positive attitude and use my imagination with passion. I learned to not base my happiness on what is going on in the outside world and instead choose what to make of the outside world from the inside. And since I can trust myself, I can trust the moment.

Alexandra's course was great! I acquired
tools that I can use daily if need be to move past barriers in
my life. I can now create the kind of life I desire. We actually
removed something I had been living with all my life (41 years)
in only an hour! I thought things like this took years of counseling
to remove! I was wrong.

The amazing work that I did with Alexandra
Delis-Abrams several months ago continues to reverberate in my life.
The newfound awareness and the clearing of old, worn out beliefs
has truly changed my attitude about many things. A total healing
of issues with my father and new found prosperity consciousness
are just two of the many affects that I am experiencing from her
work. I highly recommend her workshops.
V.F.
This course is refreshing and stimulating,
like a spring tonic is to the body.
G.B., Idaho
I have witnessed my own transformation.
Others have also noticed my new attitude and energy. People have
noticed a difference in my physical appearance as well as my well-being. I feel it is a very exciting time in my life, because I
am making choices I had not allowed myself to make in the past.
J.L., California
What is great about this course is that
it is very personal, and in the comfort and privacy of one's own
home, more memories and feelings are accessible.
S. Robinson, California
The course helped me realize that truly
I am resisting nothing more than the issues I always thought were
resisting me. This is all a personal battle; the enemy is not
out there.
M.M. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
It has helped me see how I have slipped
back into the victim role I worked so hard to be to out of. Your
course has helped me start pulling myself back out, and to understand
that through life we all slip sometimes. The key is to be
aware, and take responsibility for what we are responsible for,
and (this is my challenge) not take on and react to (negatively)
actions others are responsible for.
C.P., California
I am currently taking the 5 Day Course and have purchased the Magical Life Changes Bargain Bundle.
I have been diligently working, reflecting and writing. Day 3 on responsibility was tough, as I realized that I have a Victim Consciousness in every area of my life. I feel as if I have been stuck and in my cave for 20-30 years with nothing to show for it, and yet another failed relationship. I have looked at the past few months and have attempted to take responsibility for areas of negative thoughts, limited thinking and conditioned love. Yuck!
I find that unity, science of the mind, spiritual practices of intention, and the power of thoughts and responsibility are doors that are slowly opening to my new life. Although, it has been many years of trying to change; my process has been frustratingly slow, and I hope that taking your course will open my eyes and heart even more. I realize I have to change. I must change to have a happy and fulfilling life.
I look forward to doing the work! Maybe I will call for a phone consultation with you sometime. I believe in your expertise and being able to hone in on the issues.
Thanks for your excellent website and free articles. I have downloaded most of them, read them and re-read them. Thanks for another chance to reclaim my life before another day or year goes by.

Life Change Consultation Testimonials
Just a note to thank you for your help
and the work we did together as a result of ordering the Change
Your Life Now Bargain Bundle from your website. I have gone
through my entire life with self-esteem issues, but never imagined
the seeds of my insecurities were planted when I was only six.
After our session, I realized that moving from Mexico to the USA
(and having to learn English in a Catholic School run by nuns)
tore my world apart and left me feeling scared, insecure and inferior.
Finding out I've been carrying this emotional baggage has allowed
me to accept myself without being hypercritical.
J.M., Hawaii
Today, as I was driving home from a business
trip, I had an amazing learning experience. I felt so inspired
and was inundated with ideas and images from the universe on ways
for me to go forward in my work and relationships. I felt so light
and so connected and so pure and so grateful and so full of love.
I think I cried (from happiness and gratitude) off and
on for a couple of hours! I feel satiated with love and truly empowered!
Thank you Alexandra for the enlightening two hour session we had
together... truly part of a life-changing process.
S.G., Idaho
I am making money hand over fist... your
session worked... I am taking on new clients left and right, my
coaching practice is taking off now, and I have a new part-time
job on MWF. I increased my income by $1,500 this month from last
month, and still going... I am having a ball... I think I finally
got the money piece. I feel so light and free now... I learned
that I was carrying my father "stuck" and my mother's
"grief"... It feels so good to be in control of my future and my
finances... NO FEAR! It is so awesome! Thanks for helping me to
free myself from the bondage.
P.K., Idaho
My session with Dr. Alexandra was both
motivating and enlightening. I left her office knowing and feeling
something different had occurred in my being. I also felt armed
with excellent practical guidance on ways to enhance my life.
She is truly a magnetic, inspirational dynamic healer– a true "stretch" rather than a shrink!
Betty, Florida
A large shift has taken place and I feel
happy, as though a large dark cloud has been lifted. My attitude
has undergone a great change. After the work I did with you, I felt
I no longer needed to blame anyone, in particular my parents for
anything that had come before, and for the way things are now.
In fact, I came away with a clear feeling of gratitude for the
love and support that my parents give me and have always tried
to provide. It is very relieving to embody that change in attitude.
I am please to say that my outlook is positive. I am
excited about my work and the decisions I have made for my future.
My body condition is well, very well. I am feeling healthy.
I am eating regularly (something I have been challenged with in
the past), my self-image has increased enormously and I am enjoying
pursuing health, beauty and wellness.
Please use my words of sharing to help others, because that
is why we are here and we have met, to help others... Thank you
Dr. Alexandra.
Bard, Client
Dr. Abrams' work is transformational.
She has been able to help me erase my subconscious limiting beliefs
about how my life is unfolding. Her work has helped me to live
my life with much greater joy than I ever have been able to in
the past. These changes in my character have improved the quality
of my relationships and consequently my life. I’m forever
grateful.
K.A., Financial Advisor
Things are going very well. The only
analogy that I can thing of is of a dark pool that has bacteria
in it, and someone has put in a drop of enzymes, which continually
cleans the water. It started with something small but has been
rippling out and affecting my whole life, which is actually pretty
amazing. It is also noticeable to my friends. Thank you for the
new life I'm enjoying.
D.L., Client
Amazing Grace! I'm amazed at the
speed at which the results of our session have materialized. It's
like I am living in an entirely different world than the one I
have come to know over the past few years. It's all familiar,
mind you, but there has been a radical shift. We do create our
reality. I call your office the Lost and Found Office. I come
in feeling lost and I leave, having found a part of myself that
I had totally lost touch with. Thank you so much for the work
that you do. It's truly Amazing Grace.
V.S., Client
The biggest changes I see in my 78 year old husband are his sense of relief to put names to feelings and
a better understanding of what he can do about these feelings.
Your handout from the workshop has been a constant reminder for
both of us of how to look at issues.
I now know that I have power to control
the direction of my feelings with regard to what people say or
do. I think people have a far greater ability to change their
personal world, physically and mentally, than they realize.
G.R., Client
I have had a lifetime of psychotherapy,
(since age 3) and most of it didn’t seem to help. In fact,
some of it was detrimental. I even had psychoanalysis four times
per week. Nothing seemed to help me move forward and leave the
past behind. Instead, I constantly discussed my past and was continuously
upset by it. I know the work we did together helped to shift my
belief system and the very cells of my body, which allowed change
to happen. When I went home for the holidays I got along with
my sister better then I had in years. And recently, I had the best
visit I have ever had with my father. I am forever grateful I
was able to find my way to you and was able to receive your help,
which so far has brought me many blessings. Thank you Alexandra!
L.H., Client
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
for a job well done! I'm enjoying my "new" self and my
renewed "mother tongue."
S.A., Client
I will never be able to thank you enough
for the help and guidance you have given me. I have finally been
able to talk to my brother and sister and express the love for
them I have felt for such a long time. I would never have dreamed
our relationship could be so good.

Keynote and Workshop Testimonials
Idaho School Counselor Association
2008 Fall Conference
I attended Alexandra Delis-Abrams at the Idaho School Counselor Association 2008 Fall Conference and thoroughly enjoyed the new perspective and unique insight she offered.
After some technical difficulties (we couldn't find the right cords to connect her laptop to our projector), the show went on. Throughout the experience, Alexandra was patient, flexible and willing to adapt, which just happen to be some of the attitudes she stressed in her presentation.
Alexandra has a unique perspective on life. She has been so many places, and done so many things. Even so, she maintains the attitude of eternal student, willing to learn from anyone in any circumstance.
I also attended her Laughter Yoga session. It was amazing fun. Despite the difficulty many adults have letting down their guard, and becoming children again for even a short moment, Alexandra guided us through a relaxing, enjoyable, fun and laughter filled time.
She is the kind of person I would like to spend more time with, just talking about her amazing life.

I want to thank you
for such a great workshop. I really found all the information
you gave us informative. It got me to think about who I am as
a person. I am working on taking your words and using them both
at work and at home in my everyday life. I would love to have
had more time to get to experience the other ways you could have
helped us. I have recommended you to my co-workers. I think it
would be a great experience to go to your workshop with everyone
I work with so we could all help each other.
A.O. Weiser
2005 Council for Exceptional Children Conference
Sun Valley, Idaho
I loved your presentation because I really
believe in untraditional type therapy where the therapist cuts
through to the heart of the matter quickly. I was listening and
watching as you worked with some of the people in the group and
you mentioned intestines and being stuck. I knew I was under stress
and it was causing intestinal trouble and as I thought more about
it, "stuck" fit the bill. I didn't realize how I was
stuck until the following Sunday. I bought your book, Attitudes,
Beliefs and Choices, for the man I've been in a relationship with
for over a year. Trust had become a huge issue and I realized
I could not be healthy and stay in the relationship any longer.
This is how I got "unstuck" and had a breakthrough in your workshop.
It feels wonderful to be unstuck and moving forward again. I’ve
even lost some weight. I'm so glad that I chose your workshop
that day. It was no coincidence, though. Thank you for being there
and for all the good work that you do.
A.B., Counselor
Southern California Kindergarten Conference
Burbank, California
The session was outstanding! I learned
so much and plan to incorporate the teaching into my own life
and classroom.
She was fantastic. I learned many new
ideas. Many things I hadn't thought about. She would make
a great keynote speaker next year for our conference.
Terrific presentation. I got the realization
that what I do, think, and am affects my students.
I left this workshop with a positive
outlook on life. I wish it could have been longer.
Awesome! Amazing techniques for working
with children. Also great ideas for me.
Attitudes, Beliefs and Choices Workshop
Sun Valley, Idaho
Your workshop was wonderful. It helped
me to focus and clear the anxiety that has been building over
the election and the demands of my other commitments. Hard work
and clear vision produce positive results. Anxiety and fear of
failure are old leftovers from trying to prove that I am lovable.
I am lovable and worthy whether I win the election or not! It's
always such a relief to remind myself that I don't have
to be perfect. Your workshop is a refresher course in self-acceptance.

I want to thank you again for offering
and facilitating that amazing workshop. I left with so much more
than I came with and so much more than I ever expected from a
workshop aimed at public speaking.
Patty Healey
Soaring To Success, Compensatory Education Conference
Boise, Idaho
I would like to recommend Dr. Alexandra
Delis-Abrams as a motivational keynote speaker and workshop presenter.
She has a positive, sincere and inspiring message through her
word and presence. Her sessions were well attended by teachers
and administrators interested in the affective domain of working
with children as well as understanding themselves. The evaluations
she received were overwhelmingly positive; participants indicated
that her session was much more intrapersonal and moving than most.
Jan Byers, Idaho Department of Education
I was delighted to discover this session.
Attitudes, Beliefs and Choices dealt with getting in touch with
one's feelings, as well as personal issues that may interfere
with our overall performance as an individual in whatever situation
we might be in (home and/or classroom). She did a splendid job
with presenting the idea that as we change our thinking, we change
our life. Her lecture was stimulating as well as thought provoking,
causing myself to take a closer look at my inner self. I enjoyed
her demonstration on how to get rid of the extra baggage we carry
through life that keeps us from being happier and more productive.
The most enjoyable portion was when Dr. Alexandra took the class through
a process of relaxation, through deep breathing exercises and
visualization to help us come to peace with our difficulties.
She did a wonderful job presenting this material and gave me an
opportunity to come to a better understanding of myself.
Lloyd W. Becker, MSW
Infant & Early Childhood Conference
Washington, DC
Of the many concurrent session proposals
received this year, your presentation was selected as one that
would add to the knowledge base of those attending. We appreciate
the information and techniques you shared with the audience. Your
overall ratings were right there on top from both workshops you
presented.
Chris R. Koehler, Washington State University
Excellent. I learned, enjoyed, cried,
and laughed. Very fulfilling.
Some bold and different choices in speakers
ie: Dr. Delis- Abrams.
Her philosophy was clearly presented.
Some of her approach was uncomfortable for me but does make sense.
I can apply much of this and intend to.
It really makes you stop and think. It
helped me to think about things like my beliefs, attitudes, fears.
It was just what I needed to hear.
Pocatello Association for the Education of Young Children
I truly believe teachers of young children
rarely take the time needed to take care of themselves. We are always taking care of the little ones. You provided us with the opportunity
to learn how to better take care of ourselves. You also showed
us the importance of taking care of our attitudes, beliefs and
choices so that we are better for our children. For that we are
truly grateful. Thanks again for your generosity and kind spirit.
Stacey Jensen, AEYC Conference Chairperson
Authentic and gifted speaker. Transformational
and useful material.
Power– she’s a beautiful
soul.
By far the most robust presentation.
I came back to this Wellness Festival this year especially to
see Dr. Alexandra again.
Childhood Curriculum Conference
Sponsored by Torrance School District
Attendees' responses to the question, "What did
you especially like about the session?"
I loved the fact that one short session
can make a life long difference! I enjoyed Alexandra's passion
and love for what she does.
She made me take time to look within
myself and reminded me that my attitudes and beliefs shape what
I bring into my classroom and how I choose to treat each child
in my class.
She shared simple ways that we can shape
our attitudes, beliefs and choices.
She focused not only on the students
we will be teaching, but knowing ourselves and being aware that
our attitudes, beliefs and choices affect our life and the life
of those we teach.
Clear, well-explained, inspiring. A good
introduction and foundation.
I'll remember her saying, "each
child is a gift to you". Very inspirational
speaker.
She is very inspiring– a good
speaker to get my mindset ready for a new school year–
my 16th.
I really enjoyed the story about the
Cherokee and the wolves. Your stories and analogies stuck with
me the most. You provided us important and critical advice. Thank
you.
She was very passionate about children
and helped me to realize that each child should be accepted for
who they are as individuals every day.
Brain formation patterns, circuits, emotions.
I like her sharing psychological impacts and how it affects others, ourselves, as well as our attitudes and beliefs.
Well organized, interesting and useful
information. To change behavior we have to change our beliefs.
I liked the way Dr. Alexandra expressed
herself. She made me feel that I can really reach my dreams and
be what I want to be.
Attendees' responses to the question, "What did you
like most about the conference?"
Everything, wouldn't change a thing.
Very powerful and meaningful. Good points
and realizations. What a good, motivational way to start the conference.
I've been out of the classroom
for 8 years. Now I feel mentally prepared to not only teach but
nurture the minds of the students placed in my classroom. I start
my day of quiet reflection. Thank you.
I viewed this conference as the "hum"
start of my getting-back-to-school engine. What a treat to have
a quiet reflective energizing jump-start. Thank you.
She was very inspirational and positive.
Her personal experiences were very influential.
Affirmation on the value and affect of
our acceptance and appreciation for each child we teach and to
honor their feelings. Alexandra speaks slowly and clearly and is easy
to listen to. Thank you.
Change Your Emotional DNA and Experience More Joy
Thank you Alexandra for everything. Your call today was only reaffirming your genuine concern for each of us and the planet at large.
I'm happy you're out there doing this work! I thought the workshop was a success. You certainly know your subject, have the credentials and the strong ability to convey your passion
for the subject and for our healing. The first portion was a review for me and a way to get us all on the same page. The second half always takes on a life of its own and I too am grateful
to the participants. Our issues are all the same really, so we can learn from each other. However there's nothing like a real experience, working one-on-one with you and I look forward
to the time when I allow myself that privelege. I felt energized and expanded and motivated to create my reality. Now onward to do the work every day.
J.C., Idaho
I am deeply grateful for Alexandra’s guidance and open heart that allowed me to feel safe and nurtured as we explored the neuro-physical reprogramming process at her workshop, Change Your Emotional DNA and Experience More Joy. Having more tools to use to discover long hidden beliefs and identities enabled me to zero in on what feeds a belief. Through the use of NPR I was able to identify, release and dissolve these attitudes that have kept me living in old patterns that stem from fear. Through muscle testing and answering key questions I was able to understand my ego consciousness that kept me trapped in resentment, blame and unhappiness. I left the workshop feeling empowered and with a strong affirmation that I am 100% in charge of my life, master of speaking my truth and free from a victim or martyr identity.
Thank you Alexandra for your commitment and dedication to helping others heal and live with more love and light. As you stated, "Change yourself a little, change the world a lot."
Char Roth, Elementary Teacher
There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am to Dr. Alexandra Delis-Abrams for her transforming therapeutic approach in which I have benefited, both in private sessions, as well as her workshop entitled, Change Your Emotional DNA and Experience More Joy.
Over the last 5 years I have worked with her periodically on deep-rooted personal problems. Her unique protocol for healing on all levels has proven to yield permanent results on a cellular level. I strongly recommend Dr. Alexandra to those interested in working through their deep emotional core issues. It's enlightening as well as empowering.

J.M., Oregon
After reading the chapter on feeling nostalgic
in Attitudes, Beliefs and Choices, I woke the following morning
and laid in bed with reflective thoughts about my early childhood.
I grew up in the same house until I was 15, and could picture the
house room by room. I knew all the neighbors on the street and
tried to recall their names while introspecting. Other memories
were walking with my mother to catch the Wilshire Boulevard bus to
go downtown Los Angeles shopping. I was maybe 6 or 7 yrs. Many
of the families on the street had loved ones in the war (World
War II), and I recall one of the neighbors whose husband was killed.
Unpleasant recollections surfaced of a group of guys teasing
a girl on the street, as well as egging an elderly couple's home
on Halloween. Feelings of regret, embarassment and shame over
such insensitive behavior filled my heart. How senseless. Vivid
mental pictures of a block of ice being delivered weekly for the
ice-box on the back porch. Reading this chapter was truly a trigger
to reflect on my early life. I was so thankful that I could access
those memories and realized I had never thought of them before
in such detail. It made me miss my parents and I felt sad that
they're no longer alive. In general, the feelings from reading
Attitudes, Beliefs and Choices seem to be cumulative. At this
point (I'm now on "P") the by-product is the
desire to be a more kind, tolerant, giving and gentle person.
Thanks for the memories.
E.H.A., Idaho
Your book, Attitudes, Beliefs and Choices
is great. I like the way it is constructed. It is very readable
and the voice you use is so warm and totally approachable. YOU.
The firsthand accounts of people you meet along the way really
enhance the authenticity of the material. I wish you all good
luck with this book.
Judy, Washington
Dr. Alexandra is truly a unique person to
write a book that will help people unlock their inner child. The
Attitudes, Beliefs and Choices book is a must for everyone to read!
This book will help people think about their feelings in order
to see things more clearly. I laughed and cried throughout the
entire book. Well done Alexandra!
V.L., Texas
Your book has become my favorite companion
and I bless you on every remembrance of you for your works!
Mary, Florida
The book, Attitudes, Beliefs and Choices
is just my style. I like the way it's structured. I'm
not an avid reader and will rarely read a book from cover to cover.
Although I've only read a few chapters, the ones that spoke
to me, I am finding it extremely insightful and eager to read
the rest. The material made me think about the cause of my reactions
and actions— something I haven't done in the past.
I realized how the past has been holding me back from my freedom.
When I read the chapter on "Guarded", I became aware
of my poor eating habits and the relationship to my weight. I
never correlated the two. This book is a most helpful guide to
improving my life.
June, California
My name is Annie and I am a Psychology
student at Pepperdine University. We recently had to read a book
and write a book review/presentation. I chose to read your book,
Attitudes, Beliefs, and Choices. I really enjoyed reading your
work. Thank you so much! What I like most about the book is how
it can fit anyone or anything. Virtually everyone can find a chapter
in your book that speaks to them. I also enjoyed the book because
the ideas in it were not rocket science. With that, I mean absolutely
no disrespect, but that the ideas inside each chapter are really
at the reader's fingertips. It is not Ph.D. mumbo jumbo, but
something that everyone can sink their teeth into. I found your
book extremely helpful for the very reason that I have felt lonely
recently. Both my husband and I are in the military so we are
constantly tested when trying to spend consistent time together.
After just getting married, he left for 3 months and I have felt
a little disconnected, and not really like my normal self. I realized
I felt lonely. I really immersed myself in the chapter
on loneliness and it has made all the difference. Thank you!
Annie Reader, Psychology Student
Dr. Alexandra Delis-Abrams has
organized a very well-written reference book! She was honest,
enthusiastic, and compassionate as she helps the reader to understand
and connect more deeply with the people they love. The reader
will appreciate their attitudes, beliefs and choices more as they
learn to accept who they are as they create the life they deserve.
Writer's Digest
Just a note to thank you for the inspiration
your book Attitudes, Beliefs and Choices has provided for Diana
and me. It is amazing to me how your labor of love is the roadmap
for our quest to develop a soul-based, evolved relationship. We
want to understand and deal with our emotions in a much more positive
way. Instead of hiding from them, we are honoring each emotion
as they occur.
We are hating it, then loving it until it neutralizes, then asking
ourselves what kind of person would feel this way. If that kind
of person is not what we desire, we allow the emotion to flow on
through us and get back to our soul consciousness. This wonderful
method has saved us months of frustration and has allowed us to
move forward at God's speed to new levels and horizons of being.
I know that you spent many hours, days, weeks, months, and years
learning, collecting and compiling the information in this book.
Thank you so much for your dedicated effort in bringing this magnificent
masterpiece into print. You are a very special person on an incredibly
powerful mission of helping people to improve their lives. I cannot
think of anything more fulfilling than that.
R. H., Idaho
Dr. Alexandra Delis-Abrams has written
a book that will be read and re-read for its wisdom, compassion,
and insights. She skillfully helps us to appreciate how our feelings
and beliefs impact our behavior, and most importantly, she
encourages us to recognize that we all possess the ability to
choose our attitudes and our actions in any situation. Her book
is uplifting and empowering and will help people create a more
satisfying, meaningful existence as they journey through life.
