My interest is in working with people to help deconstruct and dismantle the falseness of beliefs, thus freeing the person to live life fully in every sense of Be-ingness.
Many years ago, in keeping with my life focus, I chose to call my website New Paradigm Health to reflect the paradigm shifts that occur when one steps out of the box of conventional thinking. For those of you who are not familiar with this jargon, “paradigm” simply means a way of seeing things, a perspective and perception. The literal definition for “paradigm” refers to a “philosophical or theoretical framework of any kind” while the reference of “paradigm shift” indicates a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions”. Nowadays it seems the term new paradigm has almost become a mainstream phrase.
When we have shifts in the way we view people, happenings and life itself, this is referred to as a “paradigm shift”. Let’s use a very simple little example: Imagine looking at your home from the front door. Now go around to the back of the house and look from there. In a helicopter, look down on your house, seeing it now from a completely different angle. Each view is distinct, isn’t it? Has the house changed? No, the house is still the same house even though each position offers a different view. This is how everything we view in life is seen only through our own perception. Shifting the perception changes the view - pretty simple!
I believe it’s Wayne Dyer who first said, “change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will change”. So when you experience a paradigm shift(s) within yourself this means there is a fundamental change in the way you view life. From this place you become a new you and everything in your life will deepen - your relationships will deepen, your respect for life will deepen, everything that you are in relationship with will deepen, and your joy of living will deepen.
YOUR TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!
The only thing keeping us from freedom - the only thing - are the chains of our own beliefs. When we begin to release these, the result is a liberation from the perceived limitations we have lived with for all our lives.
In this class, we begin our exploration from the beginning, to gain some insight into just how these beliefs, which translate out to how we live our lives, have come into being identified as a part of “me”.
We explore the stories of our uniqueness to see how our life decisions have been made within the story.
And then we really begin!! My role is not to teach you anything. I am not interested in adding to your pile of concepts ruling your life - for me, that would be a dis-service rather than being of service to you. There is no hierarchy here as there is no me better than or higher than or holier than - we’re all in the same soup pot together, as human beings living a human life. The quest is to become a fully living human being! Oddly enough, this is something many go to great lengths to avoid!
This class is an exploration of new terrain, not unlike that of the pioneers when they set out to discover parts of the world that many said did not exist. Think of me as being a pointer or marker if you want - pointing out from my experiences as well as using the experiences of others, as points of provocation for internal investigation.
This is a personal exploration of who you are not (rather than who you have been conditioned to believe you are), and a deepening of understanding of how and where you have been living your life from, so that in your awareness, massive shifts of perception occur.
Self-exploration is as old as humankind. None of this is new, rather the only newness is in the individual discovery to explore! As St. Thomas said so many centuries ago, “He who knows everything except himself lacks everything.”
In this mutual journey, we see the wonder of the mystery of life in all its perfection, and come to appreciate how life unfolds in spite of us while paradoxically offering opportunity to participate from a place of greater awareness. Living LIFE while embodying awakening is our natural state. This is our true nature. Awakening does not require a guru nor does it take effort and action; instead it is simple, without effort, which participants discover as they are guided into their own awakening experience. The search to make life different, the search to make yourself better, the search to change everyone else, is over. Can you feel the collective sigh as you read that!!! Now we’re talking freedom!!
This exploration is not for everyone, indeed most are simply not interested in the depth of this type of self inquiry. There is the underlying, albeit often unconscious, realization that if one begins to enter deep self examination changes will occur, and for many change spells discomfort to be avoided. Whether or not this investigation is for you is something only you can answer.
If you are a healthcare practitioner and wondering, there will be no techniques or tools taught in this class, to use in your practice. I am not teaching you how to do or analyse anything. This is an experiential class, about your experience, and peeling off some of the layers of protection. Oddly enough, however, when one knows themselves in a deeper context, it expands the energy available for your interaction with your client. We are fortunate to be living in a collective time when many are discussing similar things in terms of raising consciousness. There is nothing new or different about self-exploration or exploring of the Mystery. Many modalities lead to an increase in ones awareness and each person needs to decide for themselves which energy works for them at this time in their growth.
The only way this material can be of use to you is through your own desire to shift. I cannot do that which you need to do for yourself, I can only hold the space for you to do it in with my promise to not collude. Collusion to make one feel good is probably one of the greatest disservices of all as it keeps the gift of ones unique truth hidden.
Under the discomfort of laying bare those belief systems in your life which are your chains of limitation, your trauma and drama, lies discovery and excitement to build upon that which you already are - love, joy and perfection!! In this exploration, I will provoke you and you are likely to have some uncomfortable moments, yet as we open into that which we already are (to the “yes” of ourselves!) our natural gift of joy and ease appears. As my teacher Brugh Joy used to say, “there can be no transformation without crisis”. Beyond this simple statement lies a depth of knowing that comes forward once this is explored.
So then,
If you have been exploring your wholeness,
If you are willing to be exposed to yourself, to feel vulnerable,
If you are willing to open up and live fully,
If your desire for freedom from personality and limitation has started to burn,
If your Innate knowledge of love and joy is simmering under the surface,
THEN this is a class for you!
Move the curtain aside and let the sun shine through your window!!
Namaste,
Beverly

Teaching is a word which is useful - for example in saying, I am teaching a seminar - yet I am speaking of that which you already are and already know so I am not layering you with further concepts.
Please contact me if you have questions regarding what the class might mean for you, and how there will be on-line follow-through for you. I look forward to hearing from you.
To find out where the next class will be held, please refer to the “Schedule”. While I appreciate the increasing popularity of doing on-line classes, at this point in time I feel strongly that the first class needs to be in a physical setting. After, however, once one has attended a class, I will do follow-up support and/or working with individuals and groups online.
If you’re interested in organizing a class in your area, I’d love to come so please contact me at beverly@newparadigmhealth.com
I am also doing one-on-one sessions via skype. Again, please contact me at the above email address if you are interested.
"What we are about to undertake is an expedition together, a journey of discovery into the most secret recesses of our consciousness. And for such an adventure we must travel light, we cannot burden ourselves with opinions, prejudices, conclusions that is, with all the baggage that we have collected over the past two thousand years or more. Forget everything you know about yourself; forget everything that you have thought about yourself; we are going to set off as if we know nothing." Krishnamurti
