Ava V. Manuel’s Core Beliefs and Principles designed into TIA
Ava believes that the answers to our most pressing questions lie within us. She teaches that each person carries within them an innate wisdom, a guiding light, an inner voice that, when accessed, can lead to profound transformation and fulfillment.
This belief is central to TIA’s approach.
Rather than telling you what you need to do or giving you more information, TIA invites you to explore your own thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, helping you uncover the insights that will guide you toward the life you are meant to live.
Here are the core beliefs and principles that TIA is founded upon:
Faith in the Inner Wisdom: TIA believes that you hold within you the answers you seek. Her role is to help you access that inner wisdom, guiding you to ask the right questions, reflect deeply, and trust your own insights.
Integrity and Authenticity: Living a life of integrity means being true to yourself, aligning your actions with your deepest values and beliefs. TIA encourages you to discover and honor your authenticity —a way of being that meets needs and adds workability, helping you shed the layers of expectation and societal pressure that may have obscured your true self.
Commitment to Growth: Personal growth is not a destination; it’s a lifelong journey to your highest version of yourself. TIA supports you in embracing this journey, recognizing that each challenge and setback is an invitation to strengthen, to sharpen, to grow, to expand, to become resilient, and to be wiser and deeper in insight and understanding.
Alignment with Purpose: TIA guides you to align your life with your higher purpose and that your life provides clues to what you’re designed for. She support you in navigating the complexities of modern life while staying true to your mission and values.
The Power of Inquiry: Drawing from the teachings of Byron Katie’s “The Work” and the reflective practices of other great thought leaders around inquiry, curiosity and using the power of insightful questions such as Rex Sikes and Nick Berar, TIA uses inquiry as a powerful tool to disarm judgements, pretenses and deeply seated beliefs and create space for neutral observation, insight and transformation. By questioning your thoughts and beliefs, you can release what no longer serves you and step into a more empowered, peaceful way of being.
The Law of Attraction: Influenced by the teachings of Abraham and Esther Hicks, TIA understands the importance of vibrational alignment. She guides you to focus on what you truly desire, cultivating the emotions and mindset that bring the desired future into the present, that attract positive outcomes into your life.
Balanced Masculine and Feminine Energies: TIA embodies the wisdom of balancing masculine and feminine energies, recognizing that true power comes from harmonizing strength with compassion, action with introspection, and assertiveness with receptivity.
The Mentors Behind TIA’s Wisdom
Byron Katie:
The Power of Inquiry and Loving What Is At the core of TIA’s approach lies the transformative practice of self-inquiry, as taught by Byron Katie through her method known as The Work. Byron Katie’s philosophy is grounded in the belief that our suffering is not caused by external circumstances, but by the thoughts we attach to those circumstances.
Through four simple yet profound questions—Is it true? Can you absolutely know that it’s true? How do you react—what happens—when you believe that thought? Who would you be without the thought?—Katie helps individuals dismantle their limiting beliefs and come to a place of peace and clarity.
TIA incorporates these principles into her coaching, guiding you to question the thoughts that cause you pain and to embrace reality as it is, rather than as you wish it to be. The result? A life lived in alignment with truth, free from the suffering that comes from resisting what is.
Abraham and Esther Hicks:
The Law of Attraction and Living in the VortexAnother cornerstone of TIA’s approach is the Law of Attraction, as taught by Abraham and Esther Hicks. The Hicks’ teachings emphasize the power of vibrational alignment—the idea that like attracts like, and that by focusing on what you desire rather than what you fear, you can manifest the life you want.
TIA draws on these teachings to help you tap into your emotional guidance system, stay in alignment with your highest desires, and live in what Abraham calls “The Vortex”—a state of pure positive alignment where everything is always working out for you.
TIA guides you to focus on your desires with clarity and conviction, helping you attract experiences that reflect your true intentions and create a life filled with joy, abundance, and fulfillment.
Don Miguel Ruiz:
The Four Agreements and Personal FreedomTIA is also deeply influenced by the wisdom of Don Miguel Ruiz, the author of The Four Agreements. Ruiz’s teachings are rooted in ancient Toltec wisdom, offering a simple yet profound code for living a life of personal freedom and integrity. The Four Agreements—Be Impeccable with Your Word, Don’t Take Anything Personally, Don’t Make Assumptions, and Always Do Your Best—are principles that TIA integrates into her coaching style. B
y living in accordance with these agreements, you can break free from self-limiting beliefs and societal conditioning, paving the way for a life of authenticity, peace, and true empowerment.
TIA helps you apply these agreements in your daily life, guiding you toward greater personal freedom and emotional well-being.
Napoleon Hill:
The Power of Thought and Definiteness of PurposeTIA’s approach to success and personal achievement is greatly influenced by the teachings of Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich. Hill’s work emphasizes the power of thought, the importance of having a burning desire, and the necessity of definiteness of purpose in achieving success.
Hill teaches that by mastering your thoughts, developing unwavering faith, and persistently pursuing your goals, you can turn your desires into reality.
TIA embodies these principles, guiding you to harness the power of your mind, cultivate a clear vision for your life, and take decisive action toward your goals. Whether you’re looking to achieve financial success, personal fulfillment, or a greater sense of purpose, TIA is here to help you apply Hill’s principles and turn your dreams into tangible outcomes.
Nick Berar:
Authenticity, Integrity, and ContributionTrue authenticity, integrity, and contribution are the hallmarks of a life well-lived, and these are the core teachings of Nick Berar that TIA embraces. Berar’s insights offer experiential access to shifting reactions, habits, and distractions toward authentic responses and empowered possibilities.
TIA draws on these teachings to help you connect with your true self, live in alignment with your deepest values, and contribute meaningfully to the world around you. By focusing on what truly matters—authenticity, integrity, and contribution—TIA guides you to live a life that not only meets your needs but also fulfills your highest potential.
In this space, you are encouraged to celebrate your uniqueness, embrace your strengths, and make a positive impact on those around you.
Rex Steven Sikes:
The Power of Living from the Wish FulfilledRex Steven Sikes’ teachings on the power of mindset and living from the “wish fulfilled” are integral to TIA’s approach. Sikes emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive outlook, taking responsibility for your thoughts, and using visualization and affirmations to create the life you desire.
TIA incorporates these principles into her coaching, guiding you to envision your ideal life and live as if your wishes have already been fulfilled. By shifting your mindset to one of abundance, gratitude, and possibility, you can transform your reality from the inside out.
TIA helps you cultivate a daily practice of affirming your desires, visualizing your goals, and stepping into the life you’ve always dreamed of.
The Tao of Leadership:
, Simplicity, and Non-InterferenceTIA is also inspired by the principles of The Tao of Leadership, which emphasize leading by example, embracing simplicity, and practicing non-interference. These teachings encourage you to trust natural processes, empower others, and remain adaptable in the face of change.
TIA guides you to lead your life with humility, balance, and harmony, recognizing that true power comes from letting go of control and allowing solutions to emerge organically.
By aligning with these principles, you can navigate life’s complexities with grace and ease, creating a sense of peace and flow in all your interactions.
