This practice limits/disables negative programming, enhances your overall well-being, and promotes positive thinking. By regularly engaging in Love NOW, you can significantly improve your mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall happiness. 🌈💡
"so simple, yet life changing"
“The Love NOW practice ingenious and cutting-edge; and so extraordinarily simple, anyone can do it! It has helped me stay aware of my unconscious patterns and beliefs, so they don’t run me or my life. It also raises my vibration to a level where I can feel joyful and at peace. I am a nurse and at work it’s a total life saver; I am able to slow down so I can critically think for my patients and make decisions that positively impact them. During times where I used to “freak out” at work, I can now slow my breathing and focus on the task at hand. There are times in life where I would have previously allowed my emotions to take over, I now have the love now practice so this doesn’t happen. I am now in control. It is a practice that is so simple, yet life changing.” – Emma Nice, Registered Nurse

Understanding "The PROBLEM"
Two Main Issues
The two main issues preventing us from leading happier, more fulfilled lives are negative programming and nonconscious mind dominance. Negative programming consists of ingrained beliefs and behaviors from early life that subconsciously influence us, with 70% of this programming working against our conscious desires. Nonconscious mind dominance means 95% of our actions and decisions are driven by the nonconscious mind, making change difficult. Together, these issues result in a major problem where a significant portion of our mind works against us. However, solutions such as coaching and increasing conscious awareness can help overcome these challenges.
For Virtually ALL Humans Alive Today:
ISSUE #1
70% Negative Programming
70% of Nonconscious Working Against You
Negative programming refers to the ingrained, limiting beliefs and behaviors learned from early experiences and surroundings, which persistently influence our actions and decisions without our conscious awareness. Experts estimate, on average, around 70% of our nonconscious programming is working against what we consciously want.
Early Programming
From the 3rd trimester in utero to age 7, you're in a deep state of hypnosis, recording everything from the people around you.
Inherited Beliefs
Much of your programming comes from previous generations, meaning you carry forward beliefs and behaviors that may not be serving you.
Solution: Remove/Clear Negative Programming
Work with a coach or professional
Ultimately we want to clear the blocks and negative programming contained within us, a coach or professional can help you with this. You can explore the coaches here.
ISSUE #2
95% Nonconscious Dominance
95% of ABED from Nonconscious Mind
Nonconscious Mind Dominance refers to a human condition where our 95% of your actions, behaviors, emotions, and decisions (ABED) are driven by your nonconscious mind, leaving only 5% under your conscious control, on average. STRESS holds us locked in to around 1 to 10% conscious and in this state we default to our nonconscious programming.
Resistance to Change
Your mind is wired to reject new ideas that conflict with its existing beliefs and programs, making change incredibly difficult.
Comfortably Uncomfortable
Simply, we're used to it. We don't try to change because we don't have to. AKA: Unconscious Incompetence: We don't know that we don't know.
Solution: Increase Conscious Awareness
Limit/Disable Negative Programming
YOU CAN drastically reduce any negative programming's hold on you very quickly by consciously improving your breathing and focus. This is what the Love NOW practice is all about — continue reading to learn how.
Issue #1 + Issue #2 = "The PROBLEM"
The PROBLEM: Negative Programming on Autopilot
You either have the Nonconscious Programming for something or you DO NOT. How do you know? Is it in your life already? If not, then you probably DO NOT have the Nonconscious Programming necessary or you haven’t increased your consciousness enough yet – to take charge of your life. (psst – we do have solutions for this.)
66.5% of Nonconscious Working Against You
This is a MAJOR PROBLEM!
The SOLUTION
The SOLUTION: The Love NOW Practice
By practicing focused breathing and attention, you can increase your conscious mind’s influence from 5% up to 80%, as suggested by Dr. Bruce Lipton. This 1,500% increase in conscious awareness helps you override negative programming.
😊 Love NOW Helps You Grow 🌱
When we think about it, there are areas of our lives where growth is extremely difficult. We try repeatedly but just can’t seem to progress. The reality is we either have the nonconscious programming for something or we don’t. However, through simple practices, we can turn this around. By creating a resourceful physiology (breathing and posture) and a resourceful psychology (focused attention), we can limit and nearly disable any negative programming, thus taking charge of our lives.
Consider the chart below: the average person has around 70% of programming that goes against what they consciously want (also known as negative programming). This programming influences a person’s Actions, Behaviors, Emotions, and Decisions (ABED) while they are operating on autopilot, just reacting to life. This is so natural that virtually nobody questions it. Combined with the fact that the average person is on autopilot 95% of the time, we can calculate that 66.5% (70% of 95%) of our ABED is working against what we consciously want. The simple but effective Love NOW practice, when consistently done, helps you turn this around.

"has really begun to make me happy"
“The Love NOW breathing technique has been apart of my everyday life. It is grounding and intentionally thinking about things I like and love and am grateful for has really begun to make me happy.” – Christian Scannavino Greer, HVAC Technician
BASIC 😊 Love NOW Practice
Basic Love NOW Practice Overview:
- Duration: 60 seconds (approx.)
- Frequency: Repeat every 15 minutes for 4 hours (16 times a day) to achieve a 51% tipping point for becoming more conscious.
Step-by-Step Guide: Posture, Focus, 3 Breaths, and 3 Questions
- Posture: Sit up straight, elongate your spine from your tailbone to the top of your head.
- Focus: Fix your gaze on a single spot in front of you, soften your gaze, and expand your awareness.
- Breath In: Inhale through your nose for 6 seconds, pushing your belly out while keeping your shoulders still.
- Hold: Hold your breath for 3 seconds.
- Exhale: Exhale slowly for 9 seconds.
- Repeat this cycle two more times.
- What do I see that I like and/or love? Identify something in your immediate surroundings, right now, that you appreciate or are grateful for.
- What do I hear that I like and/or love? Notice and appreciate any pleasant sounds around you.
- What do I feel that I like and/or love? Focus on a tactile or kinesthetic sensation, that you are experiencing right now – that brings you enjoyment, appreciation, happiness or comfort.
You can TRY LOVE NOW - Right NOW!
➡️ Follow along with the timer ⏳
NOTE: It might feel a little uncomfortable (outside of your current comfort zone) at first, but that is to be expected. Just stay with it and do what you can do.
Sit or stand up straight, elongating your spine from tailbone to the top of your head. Known as the champion’s or power pose, this stance is proven to boost empowerment, increase testosterone (the power hormone), and decrease cortisol (the stress hormone) — all things we want. (click next tab, “Slow & Low…)
Through slow, diaphragmatic belly breathing, we activate our parasympathetic nervous system, promoting the ‘rest and digest’ response. This counters the perpetual ‘fight, flight, or freeze’ state induced by our busy, fast-paced lifestyles and other stressors, fostering growth and heightened conscious awareness.
By anchoring ourselves in the present moment, we break free from habitual thoughts about the past or future. This mindfulness allows us to become fully present, significantly enhancing our conscious awareness and disabling nonconscious negative programming.
SEE • HEAR • FEEL
➡️ Consider 3 Questions 🤔💭
NOTE: It might seem strange to ask yourself these questions. That’s ok. Try it.
NOTE: Click the other tabs on this page labeled: SEE, HEAR, FEEL.
EXAMPLE: “I see the pleasant images on this page and I like that.”
EXAMPLE: “I hear the sound of a quiet fan and I like that.”
EXAMPLE: “My clothing feels nice on my skin and I like that.”
As you put your attention upon what you like and/or love, you are training your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to filter for more things you like and/or love.
NOTE: Lasting happiness is an inside job that we actively choose in each moment of now – especially when things don’t go our way.
Like the "Balloon Game"...
Like the “Balloon Game” where we keep tapping it up to keep it from touching the floor, we do the same thing with our breath & focus in Love NOW.
➡️ When to do Love NOW?
(click to open and explore each)
You DO NOT have to STOP anything you are doing to practice Love NOW.
- If you are breathing (alive) you can breathe deeper (anytime).
- If you are FOCUSING on something, just do the breathing part – if you like.
- You can skip the 3 questions if you need to
- For many of us, just shifting to Slow & Low Diaphragmatic Belly Breathing is a HUGE IMPROVEMENT
- You WILL begin to feel significantly better from just the breathing part.
The POINT is to integrate Happy NOW into your daily life.
“I have used Love NOW to pull me out of some pretty dark and stressful states of mind, when nothing else seemed to work for me.” — Rob “RawB LOVE”
If you need to, you can use Love NOW for two hours straight, every 15 minutes on the quarter hour (or even more) to really help pull yourself out of some stressful states.
DISCLAIMER: Of course, this is not medical or psychological advice (without knowing your specific situation or needs) – if you have some serious issues going on, consult a professional.
- For the average person, you’ll want to do Love NOW at least 16 times a day to achieve a 51% tipping point
- This way we KNOW we are at least moving in a positive direction
- Any movement in a positive direction is growth (even if only slight or subtle).
If you’d like further support or instruction about the Love NOW practice and integrating it into your life specifically, see “Next Steps” below.
Any advanced mindfulness practitioner will tell you, mindfulness is not something we do once or twice a day and call it good — it becomes an “all the time” practice.
- Every 15 minutes on the quarter hour is a nice consistent practice to move towards.
- Don’t be surprised if/when you come up against negative nonconscious programming around this simple practice. It’s harder than you might initially think. Stay with it.
- This is a very rich practice. It does take some dedication and practice to come close to mastery of your breathing and conscious focus. Keep going.
NOTE: You combine the 3 breaths and the 3 focuses and integrate the practice into your all the time, everyday life. THAT is the beginnings of Self-Mastery.
"Love NOW practice is phenomenal"
