Choosing to Evolve
We are all creatures of habit.
Our most powerful habits involve how we think and feel.
We experience the world through lenses we didn’t choose.
Are you ready to wake up to a new kind of freedom?
If you have had enough of feeling stuck, Choosing to Evolve could change everything. Your evolution begins with a deeper understanding of the way our minds operate through the automatic habituation of imagery and emotional scripting. Following the thread of these insights, Charles Gaby offers guidance through lifelong layers of defenses into the light of new-found freedom.
This thoroughly readable exploration offers new access to transformation in every arena of life. As Gaby writes, “Our mental processes can help or hinder our health and happiness. While we can’t change the way human consciousness works, we can evolve in how we participate in it. Making this evolutionary leap is the key to our individual and collective wellbeing.”
CHARLES GABY has spent more than 25 years in private practice as a counselor, educational consultant, and workshop facilitator. After serving as president of the Tomkins Institute and Training Director for the Institute for Restorative Communities, Charles is now the creator of My Leap Year, web-based community for individuals and organizations who want to gain self-awareness and transform old patterns of being.

What challenges you?
Just got back from a morning watching Lisa Ramsey ride in the Fort Worth Stock Show Chisholm Challenge, and of course, it got me to thinking. She took first place in trail (Click here to watch the video!), second in Western Equitation, and a show stopping first in a drill team event, winning against several other teams with a prehistoric themed routine she and Cody-saurus did with others from All Star Equestrian. (Click here to watch this […]
What does a horse say? Sometimes, it turns out, it’s the horse doing the whispering.
If you answered "Neigh!" to the opening question, you're right, of course. (You're also right if you've been talking to my horses and the answer is "Nay.") However, I'm coming to the understanding that if we'll let them, horses can say a whole lot more. (Have I gone even weirder on you? Maybe. But probably not.) We hear a lot about "horse whisperers." And we've had a wonderful opportunity lately to get reacquainted with this […]
