Description

Deep in the midst of time, there existed in antiquity, a system, which clearly illustrated the secret to the varying emotional temperament of each human being.

This system was known by all, for thousands of years, as the Four Humours. (Humors in American English).

If you are interested in understanding your own personality, or anyone else's, then most personality tests, from Myers Briggs to Strengthfinder, are actually based on this ancient model. You might say the four humours and their temperaments, is the original personality test, and as it is with anything, to really understand something, it is always back to go back to the source.

It goes all the way back to the wisdom of the cradle of civilisation, to the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Mesopotamians.

It was famously recorded by Hippocrates, the father of medicine, around 400 BC, from whom we get the Hippocratic Oath, to which Doctors still have to adhere to, even to this very day. These Four Humours later got expanded to include their corresponding 'temperaments', which describe the quality of a person's behaviour. What's fascinating about these temperaments is that they are connected to the classical four elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Air. Which elemental temperament do you think you are dominant in? What about your best friend, your parents, your boss, or your partner?

This ancient knowledge of the Humours was universally used by the medical establishment right up until the Nineteenth Century, until the modern medicine that we recognise today, moved away from it.

However, do you not think that it is highly unlikely that something that was found to be so useful, literally for Millennia, right across the world, would be without any value today at all? Like with so much of the ancient wisdom of our forebears, we have carelessly discarded such knowledge, out of a combination of arrogance and ignorance.

Isn't it curious, that even today, we still talk about someone having a 'sense of humour', or that they are 'good humoured', or 'bad humoured', but have actually forgotten what these humours themselves actually refer to. I think it's time to end this spell of ignorance.

These cardinal humours are actually 'juices' in the body, which determine the emotional state and character of the individual, depending on their different levels. These levels can profoundly effect your general state of health and wellbeing.

When you get a proper understanding of what these humours are, by doing this course, you will discover how they effect you, and more importantly why they effect you like they do. Then you will finally understand why you sometimes find that you think, feel and even behave irrationally, and out of character. Do you ever feel like you are not yourself?

Knowledge is power, and with this understanding, you can gain control of the parts of you that sometimes perhaps, can let emotion get the better of you.

Essentially, you can learn how to bring these four humours into balance.

This course includes five unique, full length meditations to help you achieve this balance. There is one meditation for each and every one of the four humours and temperaments, and a special fifth meditation to access the fifth element, known as the Quintessence. This Quintessence was known to the ancient Alchemist's as the Secret Fire, which has the power to transform you into the greatest version of yourself.

The result is that you will feel calmer, clearer and more in control of your mind and emotions, enabling you to focus on what's really important in your life.

This will put you fully in the driving seat of your life, so that you can act with confidence, eliminate self doubt and begin to build a real sense of self trust and self belief.

I really look forward to diving deep with you into unlocking the lost secrets of the ancient healers, known as the four humours, their temperaments and the mysterious secret fire.
