The Gene Keys Approach
A path of gentle transformation
The Gene Keys Approach invites us to develop our humility through embodying the four qualities that lie at the heart of the Gene Keys.  Please consider these values as you navigate the Gene Keys Teachings.
- Contemplation – taking full responsibility for one’s inner state, using everyday challenges for growth and transformation. Â
- Inquiry – asking the profound introspective questions, inviting wisdom to come from within. Cultivating a state of presence in all situations.Â
- Gentleness – nurturing a kind and gracious approach towards self and others. Encouraging a spirit of unwinding and un-learning, versus striving and fixing.Â
- Patience – cultivating compassion, honesty and curiosity with an inherent trust in the underlying process. Â
