What Is Shine: If you're a parent, you probably could use a whole lot of sleep and a little bit more calm in your life. You want the very best for your children, to raise them as healthy and happy as possible, and still have time to breathe. You would like your children to be able to be children and not to burden them with your problems. You certainly don't want to turn into your own parents. So you are doing things differently.

Sometimes however it does not feel like enough. You had such a busy day at work that it feels like a struggle to be calm and gentle with your kid having a tantrum. Other times you feel overwhelmed simply because of a lack of sleep. At those times you would probably like a little help. Here is the help.

We offer you an easy, light and fun way to learn to handle all these kinds of situations and more. In a step by step program we will give you simple tools to get to know the real you, so you can let the real you make the decisions instead of all these other voices inside (and outside) you. We will give you simple tools to be able to instantly find out what you really feel about a situation and thus help you to know what to do even when things get difficult. With the same tools we will also help you to build on the (parental) instincts that you already have. Nurturing your intuition will help you among other things to be aware of what is happening to you and your child in a much earlier stage, so you could for example see a tantrum coming and actually prevent it from happening. We also have some nice 'cheatcodes', that will help you with everyday things such as teething, sleeping, etc. One very useful skill that we wil teach you is to be able to tell when someone is telling you the truth.

It will already help greatly if you yourself do this program because you will be breaking the cycle and thus enabling your child to pattern on a healthy you and prevent your child from taking over your problems. If you also use some of our simple tools to help them with their innate sensitivities, the program will have even more benefits.

We know all this sounds a little to good to be true. The good thing about the program is that you don't have to believe any of it works. You just try our exercises and tools and see which ones work for you and which don't. Our philosophy is that if it doesn't help you and can't be applied to your life right that week it is out of the program, making sure we have and continue to have a succesful and solid program that gets results.


By following our program, you can:

Get (at least some of) more energy. Yes, we know you're tired.
Be in control of your emotions instead of your emotions controlling you.
Get to know who you are and what you want and really be that person.
Be in control of your life.
Have a happy, healthy relationship with your partner and your children.

By your following this course, your child(ren) can:

Be aware of what other people feel but not be overwhelmed by it.
Be able to handle their emotions in a healthy manner.
Be able to let their intuition thrive.
Be able to intuitively help other people.
Be able to know who they are and what they want.
Know when people are lying to them, making them a lot safer.
Know when you are lying to them. Yes, eek. :)
Be a happy, healthy person.
Be able to shine!


If you actively participate in the program you will find that you grow as a person. You will become more mature and less encumbered by all those old issues you had, and you will really be able to do some amazing things like the ones we listed and more. It makes it easier on you and your relationship when your partner is also growing and maturing at the same time, because you will be able to help each other and let your relationship grow right along with the both of you. It also makes it a lot easier and clearer for the child when both parents are on the same page. Therefore we recommend that both parents do the course together. To encourage this after the free introduction program Sprout, you pay for the program per family and not per person.

The entire program is specifically designed for parents of children 0-5 years old. This is because these are the most formative years in a child's life, and little things for them can have huge consequences in their later life. If you have older kids but are still excited about getting to know the real you and getting the tools that we mention here you are welcome to follow the regular elfpath program perhaps even together with your family.

 
 

Sytske:
I am a mother myself who started the regular Elfpath program in January 2011 when my daughter was 8 months old. I was curious about developing my intuition and how this might improve my life. I had already done quite a bit of soulsearching before I started elfpath, with the help of a coach, selfhelp books etcetera, but I was still insecure a lot of the time and exhausted most of the time. So I did the program for my own sake, but I soon realised that working on myself and my intuition helped me be a better mother as well.

After a while of seeing me grow my partner got interested as well and when elfpath started having monthly dinners we decided to go as a family. This is when the roller-coaster really started. I started to become aware of how intuitive my daughter already was at 1 year old. How naturally it came to her and how much impact we as parents have on that. I also started realising how being a more intuitive parent could help me with a lot of the every day stuff like sleeping and teething. From then on life has been a fast ride on that roller-coaster. Big progress for me, big progress for my husband classes and our daughter is just thriving: shining with energy and joy. I am no longer exhausted all the time and have discovered what I really want to be doing with my life. Also the relationship between me and my husband has gotten a lot more stable. We are growing together, being honest with eachother and helping eachother be less like our parents and more like ourselves.

I feel that a lot more parents could benefit from what we have gone through and are still going through. So I set up this parenting version of the regular elfpath program so that more parents can truly parent the way they want to and more children can shine!

Other facts about me:
I have a PhD in Social Psychology, specialising in emotion and I have a university teaching qualification. I am currently teaching in the bachelor program of psychology and masters program of social psychology at the University of Groningen and I own my own lifecoaching company.




Rohaa:
For the last few years I have been running Elfpath as its founder and master-teacher. With the input and decades of experience of my own teacher, I've created most of our program based on the philosophy that following a few simple steps for just a few years will get you the results you want.

My scientific background (M.Sc. in Evolutionary Biology, working on my PhD in animal and human behaviour) has taught me to keep asking questions, to keep looking for new ways to approach a problem, and to keep an open mind to new possibilities. My medical background, after having had a chronic illness for 8 years, taught me that it is possible to heal, to change your life, to find success and happiness and that it is not that difficult. I found it worked. I taught it to a few others. They found it worked. Now, we're here, and I'd like to teach you the same thing.

I've worked with hundreds of people over this time, some over chat, some in longterm one-on-one sessions. Over this time, I've learned that so much of what causes us difficulty later in life was seeded very early in life. Careless things our parents said or did, emotions they felt but were not aware of and that they handed on to their children, needs that weren't met because they simply couldn't tell what was needed. I very much want to see a new generation of children grow up with all the emotional and intuitive help that most of us did not. I want to see a generation of parents become powerful and aware and treat their little ones the way they deserve.

There's some more stuff about me on the wiki if you like. Or you could spend that time learning more about you : - )

 
 

Curriculum

Curriculum

1. Sprout - 11 weeks
2. Shine - 14 months (including holidays)


Sprout 101

Elfpath's Sprout course is a wonderful first change to familiarise yourself with intuitive parenting. This first course is meant mostly to give you a feel for our program, and to teach you some of our most important tools.

In this course, you will learn:

  • Exercises to grow your energy system (and help you and your child sleep);
  • Simple techniques to reduce noise and chaos in your life;
  • Awareness of your own emotions, those of your child, and how you affect each other;
  • Tools to deal with strong emotions from your past or present;
  • Ways to nurture your child's emotional and intuitive growth;
  • The importance of communication to a child's subconscious;
  • To know if people are being honest to you;
  • ...and more.



Shine 201

The first of four Shine courses will teach you how to clean up your own system, so that your child will pattern on and learn from a healthy example, both on the inside and the outside. We will focus on energies and emotions you unknowingly picked up from your own parents, so that you can prevent passing them on to your children. That way, you can teach them the things you want to, consciously, without being tied to your past.

You will also learn:

  • Basic energy manipulation;
  • How to find joy and happiness inside yourself;
  • To find and healthily deal with young parts of yourself;
  • To balance the relationship between you and your partner;
  • To sense what food is healthy for you and your family in each moment.


Shine 202

Just like in the parallel regular program, the 202 course is all about you. We will focus on your emotional centre in the guts some more, and look through the many layers of life's experiences to find the core of who you are. We will help you to bring out your creativity and get more comfortable with sexuality in this course, as well. It's not always easy to get around to time for your self when you are raising one or more children, and yet it is so important. By the end of this course, you will have a fairly clear idea of what is you and what is not, and what type of things will make you happy in this life. You will also know what it feels like to only speak truth, with integrity and personal power. You and others will notice the difference.

You will also learn:

  • Distinguish between the surface and the underlying fundamentals of a thing;
  • To understand the different spiritual paths people choose to walk;
  • To intuitively scan and feel better;
  • To know when your child really sees/hears something and when not;
  • To get an idea of what your child is here for, so you can guide them towards it.


Shine 203

Communication can have a huge impact on your little one. Although they listen mostly to the energy and emotion behind your words when they are very young, by the time they start understanding language they will easily take the things you tell them and build them inside as rules - rules that will stay there till they are well into maturity. Rules like "You look ugly" or "You're not good at this thing." They also learn to interact with others, which can be a wonderful expansion of their world or a nightmare. Shine 203 helps you guide your child to building healthy social relationships - and has a look at yours while at it. It will teach you to communicate powerfully who you are .

You will also learn:

  • Additional meta-intuitive techniques that allows you to do deeper inner work;
  • To get different parts of you to agree on important decisions;
  • To sense and re-route runaway energy pathways inside your system;
  • A better understanding of concepts such as good and bad and an intuitive sense of what's appropriate and what's not;
  • To intuitively evaluate social rules you subconsciously adhere to;
  • To recall your own past lives and find if you and your child(ren) have met before.


Shine 204

In this final Shine course, you will have built your own system stable and will be ready to really open your heart and provide the unconditional love to your child(ren) that they need. The heart energy is more than regular motherly or fatherly love, it is the universal love that everything else is built on. If you can come to a point where you can give this to your child(ren) and yourself all the time - you will give them something amazing that will carry them all their life. From the heart, you will find a sense of conectedness to every living thing. Bringing the heart online is a bit like falling in love - but then all the time, with everyone, and still perceive them clearly.

You will also learn:

  • To get to know and work with your own intuitive gifts;
  • To look at others with a clear perception and really understand them;
  • Heartscanning;
  • To find and work with your own animal totems;


Costs and time investment:

The entire curriculum consists of the free 11 week program and a subsequent 14 month program including holidays. Each week there will be one class and one checkup all via Skype's chatfunction. People in the Netherlands will also have the option of coming to monthly meetups. All you do is bring some food and or drink and in return you will get an opportunity to exchange experiences with your fellow students and get some extra hands on counselling from your teachers.

The first course, Sprout, is completely free. Sprout allows you to learn the basics and make some very important changes in the way you deal with your energy, emotions and your children and other people in your life. Even if you do nothing else just doing Sprout will therefore already help you improve your life and that of your child(ren). When you start it, you commit to finishing the full 11 weeks.

After Sprout, where you have gained some experience of your own and where you learned how this process works, you can choose if you want to start developing your intuition properly and really finding out who you are. If you do, you can start the rest of the Shineprogram. As with Sprout once you start you commit to doing the entire 14 month program, without interruption (except for during elfpath holidayweeks) and without dropping out. If you don't want to commit yourself to 14 months, you can continue to use the skills you learned in Sprout and proceed to have an easier, less stressfull and happier life.

The entire Shine program costs 800 euros per family. This translates to about 60 euros a month.

Our children


Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Kahlil Gibran
