Hi I'm David McGraw, M.Sc. I'm the creator and founder of Pathways to Peak Experience and what I do is help people release negative beliefs, fears and emotions so they can live the life of their highest dreams. I do this mostly by using powerful visualization techniques that I began learning as child. When I was a child my Dad was involved with a fascinating organization that investigated and researched teachings in meditation, philosophy, psychology, mysticism, and science. On most nights he would be up in his study-room practicing visualization and meditation techniques that he was learning through this organization As a young child I watched as his life transformed from doing these visualizations - He went from being a regular factory working guy with a grade 10 education to completing university, buying and selling real estate and becoming quite successful. Because of the visualizations and self development he was doing he was able to retire at the young age of 52 and now he and Mom spend most of their time traveling and cruising around their motorcycle. At an early age I became really interested in these visualization techniques- and I was able to learn and practice them with the guidance from my Dad. These seeds were planted early in my life but didn't bear fruit until much later. When I reached my early 20's I was searching for what I really wanted to do with my life, I studied business in school but I wasn't really passionate about it. I worked at some jobs that I didn't really like even though I was making good money. I always remember thinking: Is this all life's about, working everyday 9-5 doing something you don't like? There's got to be a better way! So one day I picked up a book about discovering your true life purpose and the only thing I thought I would really like to do was teach people how to meditate and use visualization techniques. But I thought it was impossible to do, honestly I really didn't like speaking in public, my confidence was a bit low, and I figured who would want to listen to me anyways. So instead of doing what I really wanted to do, I forgot about it, took a job I didn't really like and basically felt kind of lost and unfulfilled. A couple years later I took a leap of faith and traveled to a week long training retreat called "Recreate Yourself Anew" the course was fascinating for me, I was learning about all kinds of new visualization techniques, I was learning about the science of visualization and the positive effects it had on the brain, I was absolutely enthralled. Then on the third day of the retreat I had the most amazing experience of my life one that completely transformed me forever. I was sitting early in the morning staring out over the ocean when I had what could be best described as a Peak Experience - this experience completely changed my life - in that moment I was free - I was one with everything around me - I was immersed in complete transcendence - it was the most peaceful feeling I had ever experienced. It was at that moment that I finally understood what I wanted to do with my life. I knew right away that I had to discover what that peak experience was and more importantly how to show others how they could have the experience as well. So when I came back home I took a one year leave from work (I'm pretty sure that my boss and family thought I went nuts) left my small town and headed 4 hours north to the big city to try and discover more about that peak experience that completely changed my life. The first place I thought I would study was eastern philosophy - I had heard of so many positive things about it that I had to discover it for myself. So I enrolled in a course that taught yoga, meditation, and a lot of other fascinating techniques as well. I was very disciplined in the study sometimes meditating in silence for up to 8 hours a day. I gained a tremendous amount of insight through these teachings but there was just something missing and I just couldn't put my finger on it, so after a year I left and came back home a little disappointed that I hadn't completely figured it out. But I felt that I had a piece of the puzzle. Right after that I began to study Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP and its best known as the study of what makes people perform at their best and reach optimal states of peak performance through visualization and other powerful exercises. I was fascinated by what I was learning in NLP and I used these techniques on myself and was amazed at how quickly I was able to eliminate my fears and increase my self-esteem. But even though I was making huge progress in my personal life I still felt that I didn't have all the pieces to the puzzle. I wasn't convinced that I had discovered exactly how to have that peak experience. So I went back to university to study psychology and it was there while doing a research paper on Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs that I had an epiphany, one of those aha moments that brought all the pieces of the puzzle together. Here's what I discovered and eventually made into a 22 day step by step course - what I discovered was that by starting with Maslow's most basic human needs and reprogramming the negative emotions that were associated with that particular stage that you could very quickly move from feelings of fear, frustrations, jealousy, poor relationships, low self-esteem virtually any negative emotion that stops you from living your true life purpose. I discovered that once these negative emotions were transformed into positive, life affirming and uplifting emotions then you begin to move up the Hierarchy of Needs and amazing things begin to happen. Once limitations are released from your subconscious mind in that particular order then you're in a position to finally realize your true life purpose and once that happens you can go even further to learn the traits and belief systems that you must have in order to achieve success and the phenomenal quality of life you desire to live. Using this step by step system dramatically shifted the way I perceived myself and what I could really accomplish, you see years ago I wouldn't have known my true life purpose and definitely wouldn't have been successful at it because my mind and beliefs weren't ready for it. But this approach helped me to release my limiting thoughts and replace them with a knowing that I can really do what I set my mind to. I know in my heart that everyone else can easily do the same by following these exact steps. This new discovery has brought me more confidence, healthier relationships, more financial abundance, and now I'm doing exactly what I choose for my life. So far I've had the amazing fortune to have helped over 300,000 people from around the world let go of their limitations and live with passion and enthusiasm by using these visualization techniques. I've received hundreds of emails from people who's lives have been changed from this work. And I'm definitely not saying this to be boastful in any way but if I can release my limitations and live my life purpose then I'm confident anyone can as well. Have a fantastic day!
