I think the course itself really helps. We got the Mongan Method book to read as well and in conjunction it was great. The thing with the class is your partner learning techniques to help you and to help you go to "your place". We did a refresher course when I was pg with Elijah and it was so good and I think even better second time around. I found myself trusting myself more and really found my place better. I remember feeling by myself but not alone. I was really in me and it was fabulous.
