Those who experience fear of success often struggle with feeling like imposter syndrome or fear of not being able to continue to perform successfully. As with other phobias (excessive, persistent, and irrational fear of an object or situation), fear of success can interfere with one’s life and cause significant distress, but there are treatments available including CBT.

As is well-known, CBT was inspired by the Socratic Method of "Elenchus" ("Testing" thoughts and narratives via cross-examination). Watch this video where I led a workshop for students of the University of Houston, Texas, if you'd like to see it in practice. ​

Warm Greetings from Greece. In today's video I will show you a very powerful technique, based in both the cutting edge of #science as well as #Platonic theory of #higherconsciousness and #manifestation #LOA...to help you to attract what you really, really want in life.
Do this exercise consistently for 30 days and you will see real progress!

Grevena is the "Mushrooom Kingdom" of Greece, and is also the site of athe mytho-poetic Geopark Grevena-Kozani...I was invited by famous TV presenter Yanna Darilis, who is a wellness expert, currently making a documentary about the place...

Little did I know that this magical place would heal and transform me forever... Was it the mushrooms? Was it the kindest, most welcoming people? Was it the waterfalls, the pinetrees, the temples or the traditional Greek music that pierced my soul? I'll never know...but I fell in love with the place and its people for good...

Alot of you may be seeking a "magical mushroom experience" but you cannot separtate the mushrooms from the magic of the landscape and the people, who are decendants of Alexander the Great.

In this week's episode of "AlkistisTV" on YOUTUBE, I take you along to get a glimpse of my journey.

My husband passed away on November 28th of this month, and in my deep #grieving,I am exploring the idea that there may be an #afterlife in this weeks #YouTube episode of #alkistisTV. The belief that some aspect of an individual survives after #death—usually, the individual’s soul—is common to the great majority of the world’s #religions and even some scientific communities.

The question of whether there is life after death is a deeply philosophical and spiritual one, and it doesn't have a definitive scientific answer. Different cultures, religions, and belief systems have varying beliefs about what happens after a person dies. Here are a few perspectives:

1. Religious Beliefs: Many religious traditions, such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and others, have their own interpretations of what happens after death. These beliefs often involve concepts like heaven, hell, reincarnation, or spiritual realms.
2. Atheistic/Naturalistic View: Some people who do not hold religious beliefs may see death as the end of consciousness and existence. From a purely scientific and materialistic standpoint, they may argue that there is no empirical evidence for life after death.
3. Near-Death Experiences (NDEs): Some individuals claim to have had near-death experiences in which they report seeing a bright light, having out-of-body experiences, or encountering deceased loved ones. These experiences are subjective and remain a topic of scientific debate.
4. Reincarnation: In some belief systems, particularly in Hinduism and certain New Age beliefs, it is thought that souls can be reborn into new bodies after death, experiencing multiple lifetimes.

Beliefs about this topic are often based on faith, personal experiences, and cultural influences. People have different perspectives and beliefs on this matter, and it's a deeply personal and philosophical question that can vary widely from one individual to another. You decide for yourself after watching my video and write your comments below.

Epictetus, the great Greek philosopher of Stoicism was once asked, "What is the fruit of studying philosophy?" He answered: "Only the most beautiful and proper harvest of the truly educated-tranquility, fearlessness and freedom..." He explained how, "...we should not trust the masses who say only the free can be educated, but rather the lovers of wisdom who say that only the educated are free."

So in this week's episode, I share with you a talk that I gave at the residence of the Spanish ambassador to Greece about my 3-Step method: The Alkistis Method #TAM Is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy #CBT based on Greek Philosophy and Neuroscience.

The ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, and modern proponents of the Art of Manifestation appear, on the surface, to inhabit divergent realms of thought. Plato's Theory of Forms posits a world of unchanging, non-material forms (or ideals) that represent the most accurate reality. The Art of Manifestation, on the other hand, emphasizes the individual's ability to bring desires into physical existence through focused intention and belief. Yet, a deeper exploration reveals an intriguing confluence where these two seemingly disparate concepts merge, revealing insights into the nature of reality, desire, and human potential.

Plato's Theory of Forms contends that non-material abstract forms, or ideals, represent the highest and most fundamental kind of reality. These forms are unchangeable and eternal; they are perfect representations of the myriad of imperfect, changing entities we encounter in the material world. For Plato, the world we perceive through our senses is but a shadow of this higher reality, a fleeting reflection of the eternal forms.

In the realm of manifestation, the focus shifts from the abstract to the tangible, from the eternal to the temporal. The Art of Manifestation posits that through intention, belief, and alignment with the universe, individuals can bring their desires into physical reality. The manifestor becomes a creator, their thoughts and feelings serving as the chisel that shapes the marble of the universe, revealing the hidden form within.

At first glance, these two philosophies seem to diverge; one elevates the non-material, while the other seeks to materialize the immaterial. However, an integrative perspective unveils a harmonious dialogue between these seemingly contrasting views. The confluence arises when we consider the Forms as the ultimate ideals, the blueprints of perfection that the Art of Manifestation seeks to bring into reality.

Imagine the Form of a tree, an entity embodying the perfect essence of ‘treeness’ in Plato’s higher reality. In the Art of Manifestation, an individual might seek to bring forth a tree in their physical environment. This tree, as a representation in the sensory world, is inherently imperfect and transient, yet it emanates from the eternal Form of the tree. The manifestor, through intention and alignment, acts as a bridge between the world of forms and the sensory world, drawing the ideal closer to tangible existence.

Further, the process of manifestation is, in essence, a journey towards alignment with one’s true desires and the universal energies that govern existence. This alignment resonates with Plato’s notion of ""Anamnesis"", the act of remembering the knowledge of the Forms that the soul has forgotten upon entering the physical body. As individuals practice the Art of Manifestation, they engage in a form of "Anamnesis", aligning their desires with the ideals of the Forms, and bringing them closer to the ultimate reality.

Moreover, both Plato's Theory of Forms and the Art of Manifestation underscore the transformative power of the mind and the potential for human beings to shape their reality. For Plato, knowledge of the Forms brings enlightenment and understanding of the true nature of existence. Similarly, the Art of Manifestation empowers individuals to create their reality consciously, based on their understanding and alignment with their desires and the universe.

Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” further illuminates the integration of these two philosophies. The cave-dwellers, chained and limited to shadows on the wall, represent individuals bound by the limitations of sensory perception and unaware of their creative potential. The journey out of the cave symbolizes the path of manifestation, where individuals break free from limitations, align with the universal energies, and bring forth the light of the Forms into the shadows of the physical world.

In conclusion, integrating Plato’s “Theory of Forms” with the Art of Manifestation offers a harmonious perspective on the relationship between the ideal and the tangible, between the eternal and the temporal. The Forms serve as the ultimate ideals, the blueprints of perfection, that the Art of Manifestation seeks to realize in the physical world. Through intention, belief, and alignment, individuals act as bridges between these two realms, drawing forth the light of the Forms into the sensory world. This confluence of ideals invites a deeper exploration of human potential, the nature of reality, and the transformative power of the mind, opening new avenues for understanding and personal growth.
