Episode Description
Is there more to controversy than you've imagined? When we don't function within the normal limitations of this reality, when we don't do "what we should, when we should, how we should", it's considered by many to be controversial. What if controversy is being a leader going where there's no path laid out yet; the space where we deviate from the norm to create something that has not existed before? What if choosing to be controversial, to function outside the norm, can be used to create greater awareness, more choice and different possibilities than you ever thought was possible? What contribution can you be to you and the world when you're willing to be controversial?

Jonas Svensson has always had the knowing that there must be a greater possibility in the world. Constantly walking around wondering “What else is possible?” and asking “How else can I develop myself?” led him to all kinds of different techniques and modalities. But it wasn’t until Access Consciousness TM came in to his life that everything started to change towards what he was looking for. With the Access tools and techniques everything started to change with speed and ease, with the result of a totally different reality showing up.
From having the right career, nice title, good salary, and awesome benefits he chose to give it all up and follow his knowing of what he wanted to create as his life. “It must be possible for life to be more fun than this” was the source for just jumping and starting to create something else. Constant change towards more fun, more expansion and more consciousness every day has been the reality ever since.
With his background in marketing and sales as category manager, project leader and sales person within different companies, Jonas has developed a broad competence and expertise around creating and generating business.
As a Certified Access Facilitator, Jonas offers Access Consciousness core classes, private sessions, tele-classes and workshops in many areas such as money, relationships, conscious leadership and much more.
