About this ebook
Helen Hamilton
Helen Hamilton is a spiritual teacher based in West Yorkshire, in the north of England and is a mother of four. After struggling through her own awakening several years ago Helen was driven by the urge to simplify awakening for all beings and to share the essential pointings that allow us to overcome common challenges along the path to freedom. Helen’s teaching style is direct and uncompromising in its insistence that we already are what we are searching for and yet encompasses compassion and wisdom to help us dissolve our ego with love and understanding. She teaches worldwide and holds regular Satsangs and other events.

Empowerment Course Handbook - Helen Hamilton
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
How to use this handbook
This handbook can be used on its own as a study guide to allow you to study the Empowerment courses by yourself. It can also be used to supplement the live courses with Helen. Whichever way you use it, this handbook contains all that is needed for you to be able to consciously create the life of your choosing through embracing all the information enclosed in here.
It is suggested that you spend time with each course in the order that they are presented here. Each lesson builds upon the previous one and each course adds to the previous one. You are urged to complete all three courses, even if you feel you do not need to focus on any particular one. For example, you may feel that you need help removing blocks to manifesting the abundance that you want but do not feel a pull to look at the Forgiveness Course. In such cases you are urged to pay particular attention to whatever you do not want to study, as this is usually resistance and avoidance from our mind. Even if we learn the technicalities of how to manifest what we want, we will be unable to allow it to happen for us if we still have self-hatred or unworthiness due to a lack of self-forgiveness.
All three courses are designed to work together to supply all the information your consciousness needs to know, to let go of all blocks and doubts. Only once you have read and digested each course will you have a complete set of tools to move forward.
The Empowerment Courses explained
These new courses are offered to supplement your own awakening process and to help you with the challenges that daily life can provide. These courses are ground-breaking as they offer vital information that every spiritual seeker needs to know to facilitate their own Self-Realisation in a simple way. Our consciousness needs certain information to be able to let go of resistance and move forward.
Most of our knowledge is based on worldly issues and challenges and we can all need some extra help to understand what we are, how we fit into the world and why we are here. These Empowerment Courses are designed to help you shift to a higher level of awareness, letting go of old blocks, resistances and karmic tendencies that are keeping you from living the life you deserve.
It is a belief that exists inside most of us that we already know what we need to know to evolve and expand our awareness and this is simply not true. Most of us need some extra information or a few myths cleared out of us, to allow ourselves to live a life of truth and advance our awakening. We are not automatically born with all of the information needed to live a life we desire and deserve. Many spiritual myths and false ideas have been absorbed by us over many lifetimes and these need to be exposed in order to move forward.
Let’s now begin to study the courses one by one, beginning with the Forgiveness Course, followed by the Transcending the Vasanas Course and finishing with the Abundance, Manifestation and Desire Course.
This book contains all the course information that the students who participated in the live course received and all of the exercises that when completed thoroughly at each stage will allow you to move to a higher level of consciousness. It is important to do these exercises as they are designed to facilitate an absorption of the material and allow you to live from and as that knowledge. If you simply read the book and do not do the exercises, it will remain as only mental knowledge and you will not see the shifts happening in your life that you are looking for.
SECTION ONE
CHAPTER 2
The Forgiveness Course Introduction
Forgiveness is nothing to do with another person; it is all about you. In choosing this forgiveness course you have in effect chosen your own happiness, health and wellbeing. Numerous studies have been done on those that choose to forgive and the health benefits are scientifically proven and concrete. You will also experience greater peace, confidence and self-esteem as you learn the tools in this course. This is not to exclude the possibility that forgiving will make your outer life easier!
Forgiveness is a spiritual skill that can be easily learned and applied once you know how to do it and it will have deeply practical, everyday benefits. You can begin right now by forgiving yourself for the fact you could not forgive anyone consistently before now; you didn’t have the tools, support or practice to do so. You wouldn’t blame yourself for not being able to speak French fluently if you had not taken any lessons as yet! Forgiveness is a science which can be learned with the right information and time. Something that is difficult to forgive now can be forgiven effortlessly with the right skills.
It is important to know that forgiveness is not limited to a person who wronged you. Sometimes we can feel unconsciously angry, like towards a loved one that suddenly passed away and we may be holding onto a subtle blame that they should not have left us. We can also, for example, forgive the fact we never seem to have enough time or money.
Forgiveness can also be of ourselves. This is the most important part of our course because once we understand why we behave the way we have, we will find it easier to forgive others too. We will learn together that as human beings we are not supposed to be able to forgive easily right now, our brains are not wired that way. This doesn’t mean that forgiving someone is only possible for a saint in a monastery or Mother Teresa; it simply means we cannot blame ourselves if we can’t do it right now. We are usually much less forgiving of ourselves than others; we hold ourselves to a high, sometimes unreachable, standard simply due to the fact that we are human beings with real emotions and feelings.
Remember, most of humanity has no idea how, or the inclination to, learn to forgive. The fact that you are reading this means you are already an open-hearted person who wants the best for themselves and others.
CHAPTER 3
Forgiveness Course Lesson One
Forgiving Ourselves
What is forgiveness?
This subject may seem like a very basic question, yet over and over again, I find that people have a different idea of what forgiveness actually involves. It is vital that we start this course with a clear idea of what forgiving someone or ourselves actually means and you are encouraged to revisit this throughout the course.
Forgiving is really an acknowledgement of something that happened, will happen or might happen. It is acknowledging that something happened totally and not denying it happened at all. It is healing of our internal environment and a commitment to understand what it means to be human and the challenges that presents us with.
For-give-ness is a willingness to give away any feelings of should
or shouldn’t
about a situation, person or ourselves. If we look at the root of the word forgive
we see it is made of two parts; for
and give
. For
comes from a root word of per
in Latin which means completely, absolutely or totally. Give
means to let go of or release to someone or something else; to transfer to or remove from our possession.
We all have things we have should
and shouldn’t
feelings about. Most of our opinions, judgements and attitudes would collapse completely if we suddenly let go of these should
and shouldn’t
ideas. All conflict within ourselves would also stop and we would come to total peace immediately. The good news is that we do not have to let go of these; rather we simply have to acknowledge they are there. We are only asked to be honest that this is the way we feel. We can all do that right now. 32355.png
What forgiveness is not
• The ability to forgive is not some spiritual power that is earned as you reach higher levels of consciousness.
• It is not something that some people can simply do and somehow you missed out on it.
• Forgiveness is also not about publicly approaching anyone you
