We all need to feel anchored rather than adrift.
​We all need to Stand with Strength.

We believe that if you understand energy and how it affects you, you understand life.  We believe there are 7 strategies
that help you do that. 

When you understand how life works and know the strategies that allow that understanding to work for you, you can indeed Stand with Strength.

This we know. 

7 Strategies to Achieve Balance
so you can Stand with Strength

Material available 6/8; Zoom calls are on Tuesdays and start 6/10
(note:  if you just want a brief overview, please go here)

Picture
If you continue to live adrift in a sea of emotions and repetitive circumstances, life can be relentless at tearing you down.  Finding the right anchor keeps you where you want to be, until the sun reappears.
 


Picture
Is this you after one of life's storms?
Without that anchor, life can feel like an endless storm that drains everything from you. When there is no understanding of how life works or of practices that can anchor you, life can be exhausting and depressing.
My exterior life has changed quite dramatically. This course work and the constant
awareness of energy are an excellent foundation for this next chapter in my life. "
​Julie, Vermont

You can forge your anchor, a drug free anchor,
​by practicing 7 simple strategies.


Wouldn’t you love to have an anchor that, no matter how rough the storms are in your life, keeps you stable and secured?  Because of this anchor, no matter how much turmoil is happening around you, you are stable in the eye of the hurricane. 
           
In Stand With Strength, you learn how to build such an anchor.  You learn what life practices to strip away as well as what to practice so as to forge its indestructibility.  You even learn how to create that eye of the hurricane when in turmoil!  


Can you imagine being on the train, in a crowd, or at a concert without experiencing random thoughts or feelings you do not understand?  Can you imagine only feeling moods that you do understand?  Can you imagine yourself able to Stand With Strength wherever you are no matter what the situation?  ​

This Can Be YOU, Leaving Darkness and Confusion Behind.

Picture
Moods and scattered thinking do not have to be in charge of your life.  When you have clarity about the beliefs and life patterns that create unnecessary difficulties for you, you can begin your journey to a steady balance that is maintained through simple practices.
​
When you have a deep understanding of how your presence, thoughts, words, and actions help to create an environment that is not chaotic and hurtful, you form the beginning of your calm inner world that is your anchor no matter what is happening around you.  ​

And then, You can Stand With Strength!

To say it briefly, we are not a victim, we are not a prisoner of the life that we have created, we can change things, and nobody can do that for us except ourselves.  ​And, of course, it really, really helps having support and guidance in our efforts.  Rob, Ohio
Susan explains the Stand With Strength course.
 
​
We at A Place of Light believe in these strategies because we have seen them work again and again.  We have seen people take hold of their lives to embrace the challenges the outer world gives all of us with success and confidence, going on to start their own businesses, pursue academic careers they thought were only a dream, as well as reignite relationships they thought were dead.  

Group Program starts February 4, 2025!  Forge your anchor and stop feeling adrift!  Contact us if you wish to take the course one-on-one, using the form at the bottom of the page.

Have a Life with Practices that Anchor You
​in the Presence of Worry and Despair

Picture

​If you are weary of experiencing this world with confusion and doubts, but are not sure of how to experience life any other way, Stand With Strength may be for you.  


If you want the possibility of seeing hope in the presence of the despair that may surround you, you may discover it using the 7 strategies taught in Stand With Strength.  
Picture

I am not living a life of confusion.  What will this course do for me?


Stand with Strength provides, according to those who have taken the course, a great deal of insight into how life works and how you can work with life energetically.  These 7 strategies along with bonus material on the Universal Laws give you concrete practices and deep understandings that enrich and expand your perception of the world, allowing you to see life through a fuller lens.  

What Students Have Said About Stand With Strength

  I’ve done a lot of personal work, spiritual work, and therapeutic work in my life, so I was very pleasantly surprised at how this course helped me uncover hidden thought patterns and beliefs I didn’t consciously realize were shaping my experiences.  Haley, Ohio


After taking this course, when someone offers an idea of an activity for me, I just notice my energy and go with that flow.  If it feels right, I do it. If it doesn’t feel right, I, pretty much, do not do it.
My life has flowed nicely this way. I have new, very good friendships now. I feel more peaceful.
I enjoy my moments more. Since joining the class I have learned
to experience ecstasy through sitting and going ‘into’ my energetic realm.  Julie, Vermont



​The course helped in reinforcing behaviors and mindsets that improve me as an individual.   
​Shannon, California


Really, really helped me become less critical of myself and others. 
I love it that I have forever access to the material.  Cheryl, Michigan


I experienced a whole new level of personal spiritual growth and enlightenment while taking this course. I love that I was able to speak freely and feel safe talking about any topic.  I am in a much better place in my own self than when I began this course.  It’s simply been an awesome experience for me.  Mary, North Carolina

SO, WHILE NO PROGRAM HAS ALL THE ANSWERS,
  • ​​If you are searching for a way of life that provides the possibility of strength and solutions for all situations encountered, then Stand With Strength has answers that could well allow you to live in a purposeful way that is not beset with confusion. 
  • If you are tired of all the hate and bitterness being currently experienced in the world and want to know how to hold onto Being Love, then Stand With Strength has guidance that may help you focus on being love and compassion while in the presence of ugliness.
  • If you feel that you want to live in such a way that the clutter of distracting thoughts and feelings cease, then Stand With Strength has strategies that may well allow your mind to be clear.  


HOWEVER,
  • If you are looking for a quick fix, Stand With Strength will not work for you.
  • If you are looking for someone to solve your life problems, Stand With Strength will not work for you. 
  • If you are looking for rituals and affirmations to do the work for you, Stand With Strength will not work for you.  
While it requires effort on your part, you will have a guide right there for you, every step of the way.  Support is critical in this process and your experienced, caring, and skilled co-pilot will be sitting right next to you.    

More Reactions to the Course

The experience was wonderful! I gained from every experience of your course.  Shannon

ON THE ZOOM CALLS FROM COMPILED ANONYMOUS EVALUATIONS

The zoom sessions were almost a completely different course, or the very least very supplemental.

​I absolutely loved the Zoom calls! Going deeper with the material was so valuable. 

ON THE VIDEOS FROM COMPILED ANONYMOUS EVALUATIONS

Videos were beautiful! And the message was clear.  I got choked up on more than one occasion
and watched most of them a couple of times. 


The videos were soothing and straight forward. They delivered powerful lessons with both gentleness and clarity.

WHAT ARE THESE 7 STRATEGIES?


With each of the trainings described below, you will receive a guidebook with journal prompts and be able to watch a video that gives you a visual interpretation of the strategy.  There are also bonus materials not described on this page to provide exercises for you to practice. 

Every week there is a Zoom call where you can ask questions and share your experiences with the applications of the exercises.  Even more bonus material will be offered during these calls.  Each week you can write a private email about those very personal struggles, and you can also post your triumphs on our course site.  

THREE TRAININGS IN MODULE ONE:  KNOWING WHO I AM
MODULE ONE - Knowing Who I Am:  As you explore Knowing Who I Am, you take a look at the mirrors that reflect both your outer and inner worlds.  In so doing, you gain a deep insight into what may well be causing some of these unexplained moods and how to attain your inner stillness.  This will help you be more conscious of how you are mirroring the outside world.  
Picture
​Cleaning the Mirror:   ​The Buddhists say that attachments are the cause of all suffering.  Explore your own attachments and practice a proven method to release the ones you do not want.  This practice allows you to have a clear mirror when living your life rather than following a false narrative down the rabbit hole.

Picture
  
​Looking in the Mirror:   Gain keen insight into your self-awareness by using three important keys to unlock this knowledge.   In so doing, you will find that unhelpful approaches to life become manageable; and the mirror reflects you exactly as you are rather than through the filter of lies you may have been told.

Picture
What Shapes the Mirror:  You may be surprised to discover when you first formed your belief system!  This exercise allows you to choose your beliefs consciously and align your thoughts, words and actions with them so you can stop having internal conflicts.   A mirror that is not distorted is a sure way to balance!

This is just what I have been looking for... take me to the plan!
THREE TRAININGS IN MODULE TWO:  ​WHAT TO PRACTICE
 MODULE TWO - What to Practice:  Now that you have more insight into how the way you dance with life can affect your inner calm, you will take a look at three practices that will help you maintain your steady inner balance.  With that balance, your life is your own, no matter what is happening around you.   You choose the dance steps or choose to be still.   
Picture

Dancing with the Universe:  Through considering the principles of interdependence, you can attain a clear perception of just how much our lives are dancing with all other beings.  Discover how life becomes less stressful when we know the right dance steps to the music being played in every situation. 

Picture

Be the Tranquil Lake:  Sometimes our dance is one of stillness.  Patience opens so many doors for you!  With the opportunity to practice a mindset that allows patience to flow freely through you, you can remain calm even during your most trying times. 

Picture
Dancing with Your Being:   Consciously creating your personal dance and understanding its rhythm is another powerful key to maintaining balance in your life.  Learn and experience just how powerful your "dance" is and how it affects the energy of everything around you so that you can dance in harmony wherever you go.   Your dance is unique and can move everything.  

Less stress, more patience, understanding the impact of my very being!  I want this!​
THREE TRAININGS IN MODULE THREE:  THE SUPREME ENERGY
MODULE THREE - The Supreme Energy:  You have worked with six concepts that have a great impact on your moods and remaining balanced.  Now is the time to put it all together and practice the supreme energy:  Being Love.  For when you combine these practices, you find yourself naturally being a conduit of a loving energy that allows for no unhelpful thoughts to take hold and disturb your inner balance. 
Picture
 
​Loving Loyalty to Self:  We always have to start with self, and Being Love is no exception.  Through learning one common obstacle to loving yourself and how to overcome it, you do not become stuck in an endless cycle of self-doubt and pain.  

Picture
Acting from Love with Others:  Many of us, during these times, have found it difficult to act from a place of love with others when we so strongly disagree with them.  You will hear the remarkable story of a woman who practiced this in horrendous                  conditions.  
Picture
​​
​Being Love:  ​Finally, you will learn how Being Love frees you.  You will be able to find purpose and/or good in all actions and handle them with a deep understanding rather than confusion and pain.  You will come to an understanding of the difference between being loving and Being Love and how it can shine in every thought, word, and action in your life.  For in so doing, you have an everlasting source for your unshakeable inner stillness when all else is chaos.

What Can Be Your Outcome?


Picture
When you have completed the three modules, you will have insight on why the practices of ending attachments, recognizing and working with interdependence, being self-aware, knowing what you believe, practicing patience and presence, and Being Love all combine to form a solid foundation for an inner balance in your everyday life, so you can walk with strength.  What does this mean? 

You can live more freely and joyfully accomplishing more in your work and play because no energy is wasted on worry, fear or doubt.
​
For when you are confronted with chaotic situations and unhelpful emotions/thoughts related to worry, fear and confusion, you can quickly acknowledge and transform them into energy that fuels real solutions.  Even better, you can cut through this confusion and recognize the meaning and purpose of what is happening and understand your best role in the situation.  


​These concepts have consistently provided a successful way of life for anyone who wants to walk from a place of love with a strong, unshakeable sense of inner calm, no matter who you are, where you live, or what status society may have given you.

Who Created This Course?

I like how down to earth Susan Gale is. To find a teacher of all this spiritual/psychic/intuitive work who is down to earth and not about ego or manipulation is terrific. Because of how down to earth Susan Gale is, anyone can learn the practice, anyone can work with this and go as far as they want. It’s heavenly.  Julie, Vermont
Picture
Since 2003, Susan Gale has worked exclusively with people who wanted to understand their intuition, which she defines as being able to read and interpret the energy of all things.  

The material here is not original to Susan, but rather teachings deeply rooted in ancient traditions that she has gleaned from the Cayce Readings, the practices of Zen, and the way of life of the indigenous people.  In Stand With Strength, she has interwoven them for you along with her own life experience to bring a unique package that leads to a deep understanding of a balanced approach to life.  

Nor does Susan work alone!  She is part of a team (Cecily, Darren, Haley, Kaylan, and Patricia) that takes care of A Place of Light.  The team works together through their intuitive knowings and makes decisions through consensus.  There is no hierarchy, and A Place of Light is a result of many hands helping to put it together.  

 We also want to thank David Kennedy and Haley Steinhardt for their wonderful visual and editing/marketing contributions.  David created the gorgeous videos and Haley made certain the guidebooks were without errors.  Without their expertise, the quality of this product would have been far less than what it is.  

YOUR COACHES
PictureDarren
Academically, I am a science guy, but connecting with that inner voice, knowing things on a deeper level has always fascinated me.  Now that I make that part of my daily life, I am eager to assist others in doing the same.   My best personal result is that it is so much easier for me to step out of thoughts that run me in circles.  I am really excited to walk with you as you make your own discoveries.  ​

PictureSusan Gale
​All my life I have created spaces where people can learn and grow.  In the work I do now at A Place of Light, I work with others to create a space where people can discover who they are by listening to their inner voice and learn to hold onto to that voice no matter what life serves them. Having walked that way of life for a number of decades myself through struggles and heartbreak as well as walking beside others doing the same, I look forward to walking beside you as you create and forge your own anchor. ​

We feel so strongly that you will benefit from this course that we promise that, if you complete the first training, Cleaning the Mirror, by completing the guidebook and coming to the Zoom call and feel this is not for you, we will refund 80% of your fee.   Pinky swear and no hard feelings!  ​
