Self-Esteem

The INTERNATIONAL SELF-ESTEEM PROJECT (ISEP) has been created by Bob Mandel in 1997 after a meditation. While he was in deep silence, a question appeared in his mind: “What is the thing you would most like to do to improve the world?”
The answer and the purpose of the project appeared immediately: helping to raise the self-esteem of every man, woman and child on the planet.

ISEP ISEP is a project that arrives at the right moment. It teaches children and grown-ups to be at peace with themselves and to accept the differences that are perceived in others. Through a series of 10 journeys, we learn that true Self-Esteem is not egotistical but holistic. We learn to develop a healthy sense of self and to honor the rights of others. Our soul grows when we share our light, not when we hide it. Furthermore, it expands when we open to relationships. “No man is an island” the English poet John Donne wrote, many years ago.

You will be able to understand:

  • What is Self-Esteem and what is the difference between Self-Esteem and "self-respect" or "having a high opinion of oneself".
  • Why some people seem to possess a big quantity of it and others don't.
  • What we can do to eliminate our feelings of ineffectiveness, unworthiness, of not being able to make it.
  • That we all want more Self-Esteem. Because we know that it is the foundation of our success and of a life full of satisfaction. Without it we feel lost in a world that often we can't foresee. Self-Esteem is an anchor that keeps us steady in a stormy sea.
  • That, especially in times of rapid changes and threat to the stability of the planet like these, coming back to the foundations of our Self-Esteem represents a path towards a safe place of peace and inner tranquility.
Who are we not to deserve all this?

Rebirthing

It is a personal growth tool that, once acquired, we can use on our own for support in difficult times, to relax, or "just" to feel the energy flowing in our body.

It is a path that will allow you to obtain:

  • Considerable stress reduction
  • Release of physical tension
  • More awareness of your decision making power
  • A renewed openness to change and to relationships, with ourselves and others.
  • The ability to rebalance body, mind and spirit
  • The ability to recognize the origin of doubts, anxiety and fears. Their acceptance and consequent integration.
  • A higher Self-Esteem
  • The feeling of finally being flowing with your life
  • Taking your power and not delegating it to others
  • Learning to have relationships without struggle
  • Creating prosperity
  • Letting go of the victim role
  • Transforming pain into pleasure
  • Through breathing, learning to live in present time and release the cellular memories of birth that are constantly present in the body
  • You will be able to decide to take the responsibility of your life
  • You will be able to relax in the full awareness of your being
  • Recognizing that the decisions of the past create your present reality
  • Turning disapproval towards yourself into total acceptance
  • Releasing the breath that was held at the moment of birth, at the origin of many emotional alterations and illnesses.

Leadership

The awareness that into each of us there is a leader. The thought that we all arrived in this life as messengers of God, to bring our message of universal love, forgiveness and truth. Can there be a greater messenger than a messenger of God? We are all leaders because we all have the ability to help making the world a better place.

What can you reach?

  • The Leader inside you. Become a true leader, a new leader for a new world, a man or a woman who wants to leave what he has given to the world as an inheritance, instead of what he has taken from the world
  • The art of giving seminars and lectures.
