Mastery Together
Holding Space for Yourself
Does it ever feel like you're going through the motions, playing a role that just doesn't quite fit? Like you've tried the usual paths – meditation, therapy – but there's still a lingering sense of 'something more'? Chris Cattell feels you. As an actor and performance coach, he's spent years diving into the human experience, exploring the depths of presence and self-discovery, both on stage and in the quiet moments between. He’s learned that even in the midst of portraying ‘characters,’ real truths about ourselves emerge.
At Assertive Alchemist, Chris helps those who are ready to step beyond the familiar and into their authentic selves. He believes that healing isn't a prerequisite for sharing your gifts; in fact, the journey itself is where the magic lies. Chris blends mindfulness, ancient wisdom, and performance techniques to help you unlock your potential and express yourself courageously.
But Chris doesn't just listen to you; he teaches you how to listen to life. Through his unique approach, he empowers you to become a 'life listener,' attuned to the subtle cues and insights that surround you. This skill becomes a compass, guiding you toward a deeper understanding of yourself and your path.
Ready to explore the uncharted territories of your identity, to embrace the beautiful imperfections, and to discover the real you? Schedule a free insight call with Chris today. Let's talk about how Assertive Alchemist can help you step into your authentic power and become a true 'life listener.'
The Five Levels of Mind
beyond mindset training
1. Daily Mind​ The level of mind from, by, and for which we have learned to know ourselves, most of the time. We have the sensation of attention which always contains subject-object awareness, interpreting a separation between observer and what is being observed. ​
2. Subtle Mind (Witness) is aware OF everyday mind, FROM the Witness, a sense of space or distance between you and experience is revealed.
3. (Spacious) Awake awareness the most sought after discovery of various wisdom traditions and called by many names. The source or foundation OUT OF which all things are MADE also the context IN which all things UNFOLD, and knows itself as the awareness TO which all things APPEAR.
4. Inter-being Knows both the ultimate and the relative levels of reality simultaneously. Both here, and nowhere formless awareness (nirvana in Buddhism) and our everyday experience of energy and matter (samsara) takes on one "taste,” or the quality of radiating as one essence.
5. Heart Mind We find ourselves aware from or through the heart, rather than thoughts,but this “mind” is happening all around and interconnected with other’s open-heartedness. It is ever present “prior” to, throughout, and in-between relationships and the universal community.
