How the SOAR System works for YOU
The SOAR System™ is an innovative self-help method for building true self-confidence and resilience, so you’re permanently empowered to handle challenges and achieve goals — both big and small.
Once you’ve mastered it, you can quickly and effectively address everyday stress, problems and challenges — often in as little as 15 to 30 minutes.
The SOAR System is a powerful progression of mind-body techniques, based in neuroscience and fine-tuned by our expert trauma psychologist for maximum effect.
It’s four parts (S-O-A-R) help you feel authentically confident and capable as you gain self-assurance, poise and self-reliance:
S: Set Your Sights: Allow yourself to imagine, name and embrace what it is you really want.
O: Overcome Your Blocks: Permanently eliminate fears and negative beliefs held in your cognitive, emotional, somatic and energy systems.
A: Achieve True Confidence: Take back your power by instilling authentic self- confidence and empowering beliefs into these same systems.
R: Realize Results: Use these tools throughout your life — to set exciting new goals, meet myriad challenges, and soar toward your dreams!
When you’ve changed your beliefs and feelings, you’ve now empowered yourself to have a better impact in your life — and in the world.
SOAR works with your integrated mind-body system using a precisely configured combination of techniques.
First, you’ll use special, targeted wording to identify your goals, blocks, inner psychological resistance and desired alternatives.
You’ll then use powerful language techniques while also applying light tapping on the body, taking “conscious breaths” and holding positive visualizations.
The magic of SOAR is that wherever your blocks may be stored in your mind and body, SOAR will uncover and gently release them — and then instill the right custom “ingredients” for your genuine confidence and self-assurance.
When you use the SOAR System to address your problems or work towards your goals, you’re integrating principles and practices from modern psychology with techniques drawn from ancient wisdom.
It’s a very powerful blend that works quickly — but it’s not a “quick fix!” The SOAR System is intentionally designed to work with your mind, body and energy field as a whole.
That way, as you’re making internal changes that build lasting self-confidence and empowerment, nothing is left behind of the original problem to linger and reassert itself later.
The SOAR System is trauma-informed and draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience:
- Psychological Containment
- Visualization
- Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques
- Reframing and Affirmations
- Self-Rating Systems
- Polyvagal Theory
It also integrates practices based upon ancient wisdom traditions:
- Energy System Balancing (preparing for change)
- Clearing Internal Resistance
- Chakra Clearing
- Basic Acupressure
- Instilling Positive Alternatives
SOAR is a complete approach. And very often, it achieves permanent results.
Surprisingly, a part of you is highly vested in preventing change — even when you feel unhappy, stressed or discouraged, and you actually want change! That part is your inner “critical voice” (similar to the inner critic or inner judge).
Your critical voice actually thinks that ANY change is dangerous. So, it does all it can to stop you from making changes for the better. It sabotages even your best efforts.
While you experience your critical voice in your head as negative thoughts and beliefs, the effects of your critical voice also manifest in your body and in the energy field that surrounds and permeates your body.
You may have already tried various techniques but found they offered only temporary relief — techniques such as affirmations, visualization, cognitive-behavioral technique, and more. Even mind-body techniques such as acupressure (tapping) and chakra clearing may not have given you permanent results.
The SOAR System incorporates these techniques (and more) — but it also includes unique components to prepare your critical voice for change, release you from its grip, and instill positive alternatives. That way, you won’t revert back to your old negative ways of thinking and behaving.
As well, the SOAR System is complete in that it addresses the roots of the critical voice’s control within your entire system — mind, body and energy field. You will very often experience permanent change, because you’ve addressed the critical voice’s negative beliefs, feelings and actions at the root.
- Create permanent, positive change
- Feel empowered with authentic self-confidence
- Gain permanent control over the nagging, judgy, mean voice in your head
- Experience greater enjoyment and better relationships in life and work
- Conquer the fears and beliefs blocking you from achieving your goals and dreams
The SOAR system was developed by Dr. Lynn Karjala and Nancy Scheel. It is a method (not a single technique) draw from the field of Energy Psychology.
Our methodology reflects Dr. Karjala’s deep, vast experience helping patients heal from trauma with both conventional and innovative treatments. It also incorporates Ms. Scheel’s many years of experience using a whole-person approach coaching clients with executive, career, interview, life, spiritual and intuitive development goals.
Yes. As a methodology, SOAR is rooted in the field of cognitive somatic practices, also known as energy psychology. There are currently over 200 research studies documenting energy psychology’s effectiveness, and studies are continuing today.
