ASE empowers people to be in control in stressful situations by allowing for a variety of responses rather than being in a ‘knee jerk reaction’ mode. It also enables the individual to decide their own outcome in any situation instead of being controlled by external influences. – Grigor Stewart

Jevon presents an incredible program that has the potential to give people the ability to access the well-spring of human excellence in all of us.

Jevon Dangeli
MSc Transpersonal Psychology, Certified NLP Coach, Hypnotherapy Practitioner & Trainer, Authentic Self Empowerment Facilitator

Jevon loves exploring the natural world and the human mind, including consciousness in all of its dimensions and expressions.

At age 25 he was shot at and the bullet narrowly missed his head. The experience made him realise how delicate life is and that perspective is everything! This insight sent him on a profound journey. Along the way he discovered that it is possible to expand our perspectives and thereby experience greater levels of connection, understanding, compassion, creativity, resilience, and resourcefulness. Ten years later he had another close encounter with death. This time open awareness saved his life!

Jevon’s Background & Vision

jumi - judo mind
Jevon was a Judo coach and personal fitness trainer in his 20’s. In 1998 he began studying a variety of complementary healing methods, travelling extensively to learn from leaders in this field. He has been developing the Jumi (judo mind) practice Since 2001. Jumi is a way to help people of all ages to access and embody Open Awareness (OA).

He is also a certified NLP Trainer, Transpersonal Coach, and Hypnotherapy Practitioner who has provided live training in these areas since 2004. He has written 9 books and recorded over 30 audio programmes, as well as a comprehensive video series where he teaches psychological methods for personal and professional growth.

His training and experience along with several paradigm shifting insights lead to the establishment of the Authentic Self Empowerment (ASE) approach that combines the holistic aspects of NLP with mindfulness and transpersonal psychology. Since its inception in 2007, the ASE approach has evolved according to the principles and applications of OA. Today, applied OA is the foundation of the methods taught at the ASE Facilitator training, and in the online one-year post-graduate level certificate course in transpersonal coaching psychology through Alef Trust, accredited by IACTM.

Authentic Self Empowerment (ASE)
In 2015 he completed a Masters (MSc) degree in ‘Consciousness, Spirituality and Transpersonal Psychology’ through Alef Trust, validated by Middlesex University, UK. This three-year course included researching how the fundamental ASE approach – Applied Open Awareness – helps to reduce stress and prevent burnout while enhancing one’s performance (published in the Journal of Consciousness, Spirituality & Transpersonal Psychology).

As an ASE Facilitator & Trainer, Jevon’s core skill is guiding individuals and teaching groups how to overcome perceived obstacles, limiting beliefs, unwanted negative emotions, and dis-ease, so that they can actualize more of the self-other-environment connection, and thereby experience greater levels of joy, resourcefulness, and productivity in their personal and professional life.

Jevon is a co-founder of the Live Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to create opportunities for positive change by providing free education and empowering resources to those who contribute their time and energy to humanitarian aid or environmental sustainability. He established the Open Awareness for Change Initiative in February 2020. The project involves providing groups with a practical system whereby they can harness their collective consciousness and combined creativity with the aim to address health or safety concerns, social problems, or environmental issues in their community or globally. Another project where he is involved as a mentor is Alef Trust’s Conscious Community Project, where he supports a community of change-makers who nurture individual and systemic transformation around the world.
