Erik Salzenstein Bio:







Erik’s journey is something incredibly special and signifies in such a powerful way the process and possibility of change. He struggled and battled with drug addiction, anxiety and greed. His life spiraled out of control and he found himself in a courtroom facing some serious time. Erik was sentenced to 4 years in prison and made a decision to do whatever it was going to take to transform his life. He spent his time relentlessly pursuing and studying personal development. He spent his time, day and night changing, tweaking and re-wiring himself to match the future self he wanted to create. 







As he started to create these changes down to the way he was physically walking, he had a desire to share this with others. He started speaking from stage and was even published in a local newspaper while incarcerated for a speech contest against 2 other prisons. He started coaching, running workshops and mastermind groups for the other inmates in hopes that they too would make a decision to change.







He realized some key components that allowed such incredible change and developed his 4 step process of transformation using the acronym R.O.C.K. Since getting out he’s made it his mission to share his story and help people create the ROCK solid foundation they need to change and create higher levels of achievement.

Wendy Yellen is on a mission to create real change in people’s lives to shift what’s possible and transform then in a profound way through Eidetics. She is a former psychotherapist, who got tired of the inefficiency of therapy and left it all together to try different careers.  After re-finding and experiencing eidetic imagery, she was hooked, as it shifted her life drastically. So she started a new career as a practitioner, and has not looked back since.

In this Episode We Cover: 



* How everybody has experienced different kinds of traumas in their life

* Managing the Emotional Ups and Downs of COVID-19

* How Unhealed Trauma Affects Us

* How the coronavirus pandemic is impacting your mental health

* Why escaping the trauma is not helping you

* How fear, anxiety, and panic is firing our neurons 10x faster

* Demonstration of Eidetic Imagery for COVID-19

* When you can use the exercise

* How to dive into a pain in your body in order to release it

* How to use Eidetics to deal with loss and sadness



Note from Wendy about the exercise: “Sometimes people don’t often feel the ice image as deeply as they think they “should”.  BUT the ice image works anyway, as long as people are shoveling or pouring the ice and watching what happens to the brain, and if they feel the ice, then that’s wonderful, but not essential. Plus, of course, you can hear in your voice that something is not as deep as in might be, so that would be helpful for people to understand their own process if they have the same question.”

Bio:

Wendy Yellen, named one of the International Top 3 Transformational Experts in her field and bestselling author, supports people of heart and integrity around the world to live a full, passionate, successful, and unshackled life of love, awareness and compassion, without it costing them their soul.

Wendy had a 100% full, 100% referrals, waiting list only private practice in psychotherapy in Houston, Texas. She closed her practice completely because she no longer believed in any of the traditional and non-traditional therapies she was certified in.

Years later, when she was reintroduced to the father of Eidetic Imagery, Dr. Akhter Ahsen, she knew she had found the Holy Grail of transformational work and jumped back into

working with people and transformation. Since then she has introduced thousands of men and women around the world to the evidence-based treatment of Eidetics. This practice, based on Ancient Greek knowledge and 21st Century science, uses the power of eidetic images to enable business people and creatives to unlock their full potential and remove the weight of old, often “unseen” vulnerabilities which have been holding them back.
