Amazing Grace Series – Reflections
This book of reflection, focus and contemplation is designed to stimulate the reader to continually ask questions and find answers. The book has been created with a very powerful intention. The sentences and thoughts have been constructed in such a way that they contain many subtle layers of possibility. The heritage of words which inspire can teach us to observe and know the soul striving to find ways to claim the truth of our own Being.
In the foreword The Hon. Michael Kirby, formally a Justice of the High Court of Australia writes: “Each one of us, as a spark of life, is on an individual journey. Words, which are only the skin of ideas, transmitted from one intelligence to another, have a different impact on each one of us. Reflecting on the unique capacity of the human species to transfer complex concepts and information from the unpromising physical cells of one brain to another, it is truly amazing that we can find help and solace by occasionally concentrating on words and sentences. And then translating them into the realities of our own unique lives.
Accompanying this book is a powerful Reflection exercise which may be downloaded. Please find links to these recordings below.
The Clarion Review rates this book Four Stars (out of Five).
Extract from the Clarion Review: “People live, to a greater or lesser extent, in an illusory world of their own creation, which offers protection from what they perceive to be a capricious external world. This aversion to accepting reality, as it is, hinders their ability to realize their full potential. Bellin tells readers that they can choose to stay hidden in their shell of illusion, like a tortoise, but she also offers an alternative, writing, “Or are you the hare, racing ahead celebrating the joy of Life.” Read the full review here.

Amazing Grace Series – Compassion
In the foreword, John McFarlane mentions the privilege of leading a Fortune Global 500 company and shares his compassion for the people he was responsible for. “Imagine the challenge of ensuring that all the people for whom I was now responsible, many of whom I would never meet, did the right things and did things right day in and day out on their own volition, now and well into the future well beyond my own time as leader…..We forget at our peril that it is people, their collective ability and energy, how they feel about working in the organisation, how passionate and engaged they are in its agenda and how they work together for a common purpose that makes a company great…..Nothing in life or business is ever perfect or exactly as we expect. That is the nature of risk……Resilience requires us to look through specific issues……..focussed on solutions rather than consequences. Such looking beyond the issue at hand requires us to be compassionate in adverse circumstances as a catalyst for renewed hope.”
This book is a profound exploration of the nature of compassion. Gita encourages us all to master the State of Compassion, for as she says, this accountability brings freedom. She writes that a life without compassion impoverishes the heart and that the inevitable step for humanity in the 21st century is COMPASSION NOW – only then will humanity be free from judgement, free from misconception, free from anything that is not in complete resonance and harmony with all life.
Readers are encouraged to download the exercise for opening up and releasing the pain in the heart. Please find links to these recordings below.

Extract from the Clarion Review: This second book in Gita Bellin’s Amazing Grace Series offers guidance for people who want to awaken their hearts and minds in this way. Compassion follows the format of her previous book on Reflection, which prepares readers for this next step. She observed, while teaching her students the process of awakening to compassion, what she describes as a way of being that blossoms naturally when the heart begins to open.

Amazing Grace Series – Forgiveness
Friends and colleagues have long urged Gita to include Forgiveness in the Amazing Grace Series. The knowledge and practical exercises within this book are part of a Relationship Seminar that she has been teaching since 1962.
The State of Forgiveness is explored in many ways. This book offers the understanding of behaviour and feeling in relation to past challenges which may have caused bitterness, resentment, regret, guilt, anger, blame, shame, fear, punishment, rejection, sadness, pain and hurt, disappointment, loneliness, grief, despair and a sense of violation.
The book uses the explanations and Forgiveness exercises that have been part of her Relationship Seminar. Thousands of people throughout the world have benefited from the freedom these exercises bring. Specifically the exercises include, parents, family members, friends, colleagues and strangers enabling the reader to become complete with the past and move on with their life
The foreword by Selby Baqwa, Public Protector of the South African Government 1995-2002 speaks of the power of Forgiveness in South Africa’s healing and the contribution Gita has made to this healing within South Africa. For these reasons friends in South Africa asked her to include a major section on Genocide, Massacre, Mass Events and natural disasters in order that the readers of this book can begin to forgive major events in human history.
Accompanying this book are Gita’s recordings of all the Forgiveness exercises. Please find links to these recordings below.
The Clarion Review rates this book Four Stars (out of Five).
Extract from the Clarion Review: The willingness to forgive lies deep within a person’s psyche, and it must be coaxed to the surface through reflection, the awakening of compassion, and finally, the desire for and declaration of forgiveness. Read the full review here.

GBA has integrated the BVC Values tools in its programs for two decades
“I was with Richard in 1997 when he launched his unique model of Consciousness and Hierarchy of Values. We were both lead presenters at an International Conference called ‘Consciousness in Business’. Immediately I heard Richard’s presentation I rushed over to him because it felt the work on values was the missing link that I had been seeking for 25 years. Since that moment over the last two decades Richard has refined, expanded, integrated and evolved his work on Values as I have done with my work on Transformation. This has led to a formidable integration of these two fields of knowledge in the GBA programs. We always knew the work was deeply connected.”
