Read on for an overview of the site, where we're coming from and what we hope to achieve...

Background to Tools for Transformation
We've been online for 10 years now and we've built up a large collection of resources to help you in your personal growth - and to move forward on your spiritual path as well. The site was originally formed to publish Peter Shepherd's book Transforming the Mind online. Hence the domain name "trans4mind." Over the years 500,000+ copies have been downloaded.

Each of us is a unique individual - both natively and because we have different experiences, education, upbringing and culture. On our learning path, we may have advanced well in some areas - such as health and wellbeing, communication and relationship skills, mental capacity, emotional maturity, creative and intuitive skills, and spiritual awareness - and we may still have a lot to do in others. So, we each have widely varying needs. We aim to cater for your needs in the range of facilities we offer - either with the courses and products that we have developed ourselves, or those of third parties that we have good experience of and can thoroughly recommend to you.

Tools for Transformation is run from Peter Shepherd's home, close to the Loire river in the center of France. Peter is English and his wife Nicole is French, so we also have a French version of the site. Because we're a small business, you know who you're dealing with, and you can be sure of our personal care.

Nicole is an educator of young children and introduces the principles of emotional intelligence to infants. Peter's background is psychotherapy but for the last decade Peter has worked full-time in the personal development field and in particular, on the trans4mind site. In addition, Wallace Huey has recently come onboard the Tools for Transformation ship and is helping to develop the site. He's suggested many good new ideas and you'll see them implemented particularly in all the Heart to Heart services, which are now indeed the heart of the site.

Great Free Resources
Peter Shepherd has summed up his particular eclectic approach to psychology, that he calls "transformational psychology," in the book "Transforming the Mind" which is freely available to download in PDF format from the Free Personal Development eBooks pages. This section contains all the Tools for Transformation publications and many more informative eBooks in PDF format, for your immediate download and (if you like) printing. They are in categories, with descriptions, so you can quickly find what you need.

When we are actually ourselves, fully conscious and awake to the present moment, not telling ourselves any lies -- in that state the past is actually not affecting us, nor is fear of what the future may bring. Our attention is grounded by the present objective environment, rather than dominated by past memories or future expections. We can see our situation more clearly, free of the conditioning and assumptions and fears that we have been led to base our lives on. That is the aim of personal growth work.

A powerful way to accelerate your personal growth is 'The Positive Approach,' a free 30-lesson course that will help you become clearer about your own identity, what you want in life - your life vision - and how to consciously transform your life for the better. You will learn how your beliefs shape your life experience and become aware of exactly how you are creating your reality. Each of these lessons includes a practical element that you can apply during the week, so your life can genuinely start to improve and you make real progress toward manifesting your vision. There's online written materials, a PDF to download, or you can download audio versions of each lesson and replay in iTunes or your MP3 player.

Daring to be Yourself
"Of course, every writer wants to be published in print and I'm happy that finally I have that opportunity. Inkstone Press, in Australia, asked me if they could publish Transforming the Mind, but I really wanted to do something new, and they kindly supported me in that. So I've put together a new book, 'Daring to be Yourself,' that was published on November 1st 2007. Again, it's a summary of all that I've learned to date, a sort of convenient 'best of' the trans4mind site, and includes the Positive Approach and other short courses on the site, like Communication & Relationships, and Emotional Intelligence.

"It's more personal though, talking a bit about my own life experiences, and it expands on the spiritual dimension, how we can get in touch with our inner knowing, our core essence. To find that inner knowing we need to look objectively, honestly and with an open mind, both at the world and even more so, into our own being. To be a witness of our mind, with love and caring of our conscious self. We have then also transcended or gone beyond the conscious mind and found ourselves spiritually. Creating our lives from that viewpoint is an exciting process, because we're no longer alone, we're connected with all creative energy, the universal quality of spirit."––Peter Shepherd

There's more online about it here:

Daring to be Yourself The aim of this book is to help you achieve a 'wide-awake' state of consciousness, with integrated use of left and right brain abilities, forming the bedrock for breakthroughs in personal consciousness and spiritual insight. The practice is based on the premise that we have learned disabilities which set boundaries to our action and knowing. But no one need accept that they must remain as they were shaped by their hereditary body-mind and by the conditioning of their childhood and culture. This book is like a "best of" the trans4mind site - that you can read snuggled up on the sofa, away from the computer! But much more than that, it's also an incredibly powerful program for personal growth. Remove the barriers to self-knowledge and find out who you really are with this step-by-step approach.

The Weblog
The Daring to be Yourself Weblog features excerpts from the book plus my further current views and relevant links. I also include excerpts from our weekly magazine Metamorphosis, to which many authors around the world contribute, and again, add my own opinions. There are also book and product reviews, plus news of the latest additions to the site. You, of course, are very welcome to register and add your own opinions.

Our Paid Courses
We offer a range of paid home-study courses with full email support. Want to live without worry and frustration? With clarity and insight? Then the 'New Life Course' is for you. Based on the principles described in 'Transforming the Mind,' this course takes you much further, to give you the tools to really turn your life around. This is the best that I know of personal development methods and the course has helped many people profoundly. It's available very cheaply in a package with the introductory course, The Positive Approach, and my book Transforming the Mind.

To rediscover your full inner truth you need our 'Meta-Programming' course. Using biofeedback monitoring to tap into the wisdom of your emotions - which is the way the Higher Self communicates intuitive knowing - it is the most advanced approach available to aid your personal spiritual discovery, and it will help you to "transcend or rise above" the programming and conditioning of your upbringing and culture, and what you bring with you into the world. Both Nicole and I - plus the many students world-wide of course - have had tremendous insights with these techniques and permanent changes in consciousness that have transformed our lives. We wish the same for you.

This year we are also introducing a range of Mind Development courses, offering state-of-the-art techniques to help individuals open up the pathways of left-right brain communication and achieve their potential mental capacity. In the real world, intellect does matter. They are not so fashionable qualities these days but memory and ability to reason, and having a really sharp and creative mind, are just as important as emotional intelligence and practical skills for doing well in your career. Mind Development students are far better equipped to obtain the goals they want in life and take control of their destiny.

And we offer another very interesting further solution: our own 'Magical Wizard' audio programs, that use NLP techniques to ease you into adopting a new, positive and empowering view in all areas of your life. You just sit back, listen and follow the guided visualizations, and the effect is truly empowering. The sessions provoke deep learning and personal transformation in key areas such as: self-confidence and relaxation, stopping smoking and losing weight, and using the Law of Attraction to create a life of love and prosperity. Formerly only available on CD, they're now also downloadable in the AAC format, ideal for iTunes/iPod use - at lower cost too.

The Tools for Transformation CDs
One of the best things we make available is the Tools for Transformation 2-CD Set compilation. It contains all of our publications along with a fantastic collection of personal develolopment and spiritual materials, courses, magazines and complete books - no fluff, it's all really good stuff. These are all conveniently accessible for your offline browsing and study. When you get this you'll be amazed at how much can fit on a CD and just what a wide-ranging collection this is... a complete library, in fact. Over 1200 MB of great info for only $39 including postage - it's the ideal present for yourself or for someone you care for.

Our Partners
Tools for Transformation also includes a wide range of partner sites which offer a great deal of helpful information and advice. There's something for everyone here! We are proud to host these sites by a group of wonderful people - like 'Clearing the Way' with Ayal Hurst and 'Freeing the Mind' with Ken Ward - who contribute so much to Tools for Transformation by providing these very different approaches to our readers. See our Partner Sites page for details of all these services.

Products We Recommend
And we have a lot of affiliations. In particular we feature a large collection of brilliant writings by Bill Harris, who runs Centerpointe Research Institute and offers perhaps the most important 3rd-party product that we recommend to visitors and our students: The Holosync Solution. It inevitably helps people to become emotionally stable and centered in their body and mind, and this process complements our own courses very well.

For those who need a quick solution to specific personal problems, the Hypnosis Downloads have proven to be very popular and effective. Check out the Recommended Products page for many other products that we have personally had good experience with and are happy to recommend to you.

If you need advice about what your next step should be, or if you have specific questions about what we do, please get in touch and I'll do my best to help.

And most important... make sure you are subscribed to the Metamorphosis magazine. It's free and you can be sure of a good read every week, as well as keeping up to date with the latest at trans4mind.

We wish you every success in your life and your path ahead.

A customer responds: "A big thank you for all your help and assistance in my development. The 'Tools for Transformation CD' is wonderful and has already proven to be a powerful and beneficial resource. And thank you for the 'Magical Wizard Programs' CD set, which has proven to be of a very high standard and worthy of any serious seeker's hard-earned spondoolies. Keep up the great work dear friend."--Paul A customer responds: "The information contained in the Mind Development courses is more valuable than anything I have learned in a classroom. The MD courses have helped me perform better in the classroom (I am a college student) and also help me in day to day activities, such as conversations and constructive arguments. I appreciate everything MD has done for me and could only hope that this information spreads throughout educational systems."--Nick A subscriber responds: "...to tell you how much I enjoy your magazine, Metamorphosis. I've subscribed to hundreds of self-improvement newsletters over the years but yours shines above the rest. It's always packed with useful self help content--most of the others offer a nugget of truth surrounded by a mountain of advertising. I quickly unsubscribe. But when I find your ezine in my morning mail, I smile. And I forward it to half a dozen friends who love it too. Thanks for the good work. Please keep it coming! You're making a difference in the lives of your readers."--Sue A reader responds: "Just a quick message to say I think trans4mind is fantastic! In my opinion it is exactly what the Internet should be about. I knew something was missing in my life and trans4mind has helped me identify the pieces. It is good to see so much valuable self help information made available in one place!"--Jason A reader responds: "Wow! Thank you for sharing all of this wonderful information. I was feeling lost, confused, empty, lonely... wondering is it co-dependency? am I depressed? am I just lonely? I share many of your lessons with my partner and it helps us bond together and also strengthen each other individually. I had so many questions and this site has helped me understand myself and given me hope and confidence."--Alison A customer responds: "I want to just say 'WOW!' Your Tools for Transformation CD is probably the best money I ever spent! I've already received many times over in personal enrichment after just 9 days."--J.S. A reader responds: "Your book teaches step by step how to ask great questions of your self and of your mind and to expand one's thinking beyond ordinary realms of possibility and achieve results, both internally and externally. Thank you Peter."--R.B. (Australia) A reader responds: "I never found anywhere else such a complete, detailed and clear synthesis for transformational psychology. Both for theory and even for the practice. I was deluded by the 'mystic' approach to self-knowledge. Very often the sayings of the sages were misunderstood. You brought a light to a new scientific objective/subjective approach."--Marco A subscriber/customer responds: "I've been a subscriber to Metamorphosis for about a year now and can't tell you how much it has enhanced my life. I've been listening to the Magical Wizard hypnotic CDs for almost a year now, and have embarked on the Holosync program. Just about ready for the next level. It's amazing the changes I've been going through as a result!"--Connie
