All of us are prone to Anger, Jealousy, Greed. These are negative emotions. In some of us they are present 100 percent, in some 80 percent, in some 50 percent, in some 20 percent and in the great Saints – they are not present at all.

The great saints possess the emotions of Love, Sharing, Caring and Compassion. These are positive emotions arising out of awareness.
Even we have a large of small percentage of the positive emotions.

How do we overcome negative emotions and develop positive emotions?
We develop through Awareness. Each time you are angry, jealous or greedy – start practicing the awareness that you are angry now. The moment you are aware that you are angry, and are performing your actions due to anger, the anger slowly comes down. Then you will feel that your behavior was quite silly.
When we keep on practicing awareness of our negative emotions, slowly the negative emotions, show up less and less.

The old saying goes “count to 10 before you say something in anger“. Now many times, before we count to 10, the angry words come out. Then after some time you feel bad, that you said or did so many things in anger. That is when your awareness is functioning. In your state of awareness, you regret what you did.

When you keep on practicing awareness of each and every negative behavior, slowly the time gap between when you got angry and the time when the awareness comes in reduces. Initially two days after you get angry, the awareness will come in. Then the awareness comes after 1 day after you get angry. Then the awareness comes a few hours after you get angry. Then the awareness comes 20 minutes after you get angry. Then the awareness comes 5 minutes after you get angry. Then the awareness comes as you are getting angry. Then finally the awareness comes BEFORE you get angry. Once the awareness comes before you are angry, then there is no more anger displayed.

The irritation in you is not because you are a perfectionist. It is because of the anger in You.
The jealousy always is towards someone close to you, like your friend or relative or family. It is never for anyone unknown.
So all these negative qualities can be overcome by Developing AWARENESS.
FUNCTION OUT OF YOUR AWARENESS. NOT OUT OF YOUR EMOTION.

When he moved to New York City at age 23, Krohn worked in the galleries of Leo Castelli, Marian Goodman, and Sperone Westwater. After five years of gallery work, Krohn took up a career in design and construction of high-end interiors in Manhattan. As his interest in painting was growing, he accompanied his construction work with traditional oil painting and drawing as a student at the Art Students League for two years.

To your good health,
Transform30 is a program designed to eliminate toxins in your body. Toxins prevent your body from releasing fat (long term). T30 is NOT a quick fad diet, but a lifestyle change teaching you how your body reacts to certain foods. It is a 30 day KICK-START to healthier living.

In addition to our customer guide with recipes, shopping guide, meal plan, measurement tracker sheets, etc., the program also includes a daily regimen of Juice Plus capsules and the Complete shake (either one or two a day). After 30 days, it’s up to you how you want to continue, but you will have a 90 day supply of the capsules to continue as part of the maintenance plan.

You will also be added (if you want) to our VIBRANT private Facebook forum where others are on this journey as well. It’s a great place for each of us to support and encourage one another and celebrate our successes. We also share recipes and healthy tips.

You can review the program here, which is our online “brochure.” The Program is about $4-6/day depending on if you order the Complete Shake/Capsules/Bars or any combination. You drink 1-2 delicious no-brainer shakes a day, which you can have “on-the-go” or mix-up with extra goodies in a blender for more calories and fullness if you desire. Also you replace your vitamin regime – in case you have one – with safe, effective and clinically proven WHOLE FOOD capsules. This way you are flooding your body with WAY over 50 plants every day and that is a game changer as you can imagine! We also encourage and support additional lifestyle steps to improve your overall results; you can choose one or all of them…depending on how quickly you want results. The two I most highly recommend (and do) are reducing/eliminating dairy and gluten in your diet due to the extreme inflammation it creates in our bodies…but you get to choose and I will support you.

There is no fee for the program and support; you pay for your own whole food concentrated products though. (OPTIONAL: I also offer TWO coaching sessions your first month if you wish to take advantage of those.)

Dr. Mitra Ray, world-renowned Biochemist, is the Founder of Transform30 and the brain behind how/why this works – especially long-term. This is not just about weight-loss…it is SO much more than that on SO many levels of health. Here is a brief video that goes into the program a bit further and will help answer more detailed questions.

How does that sound to you? I can help you get your orders placed so you can start experiencing the benefits you want as well. I attached the pricing form so you can see your options.
