Are you ready to have some fun?

Are you ready to go beyond enemy lines in the duty for your country?

Ok, ok I know I’m getting carried away – how about completing another confidence building exercise instead?!

Success leaves clues wherever it goes…

Success leaves clues wherever it goes. In order to get the desired confidence levels that you are after it pays to be a copycat!

Another word for this is modelling.

NLP Modelling is the method of recreating excellence. We can model any individual’s behaviour by mastering their beliefs, the physiology and the specific thought processes (that is the strategies they use) that are at the root of the desired skill or behaviour.

It is about achieving an outcome of excellence by studying how someone else creates their own level of peak performance.

A key point in modelling is that you can’t learn by listening only to the person talk about what they do (their behaviour) in the abstract. You need to watch the subject actually do it — or at least pretend to do it.

Non-verbal cues can also be important, i.e. gestures, body movement, facial patterns, etc. When this aspects are observed find out what was going on in the persons mind.

A lot of the most important stuff is below the threshold of consciousness, so you really have to slow the subject down so he becomes aware of what he’s doing.

It is this art of asking a person questions about their subjective experience that I think would be above all of interest to cognitive psychologists. And I have to concede that it’s the most difficult of all aspects of NLP to learn.

By observing and modelling successful behaviour, i.e. in this case people with high levels of confidence, you can pick up little golden nuggets of tips, techniques and the strategies that they use.

By observing how they walk, talk and act you too can take what they do, put it into your own life and get the same results.

Here’s what John Grinder says about modelling:

Don’t believe me?

Try this exercise out over the next couple of days and see how you feel!

Your mission…

Over the next 3 days I want you to observe other people – pretend that you are undercover!

However, no newspapers with two eye-holes cut out are allowed!

I want you to observe all types of people – confident people, shy people, outgoing people, people talking, people being quiet, how people interact with each other.

Observe people who know one another, people who are strangers – the whole nine yards!

Look closely at what they say and do.

How are they moving their body?

What do they do with their head?

How do they speak?

How do others react to them?

Would you like to talk to this person?

Are they smiling and laughing?

Would you like to be this person?

Below, write down 5 behaviours and things that you have observed over the past 3 days that make you say :

“I want to be like that!”

For your next mission, should you choose to accept it…

For the next 2 days, I want you to take just 1 of the 5 behaviours that you have written out above and I want you to act that way for the duration of those 2 days.

Pretend that you have been given an assignment (because you have!) to just act like that for 2 days.

That’s it, no longer, no less.

Pretend it’s a game.

After the 2 days you will soon discover the magic of modelling behaviours.

Then you’ll move onto the next behaviour and the next and the…

By effectively modelling excellence found in others your personal performance with dramatically improve as well as your personal empowerment.

I’d really like hear about your thoughts on this in the comments below.

Master Yourself

Mental Strength, Personal Develpoment 6 Responses »

Jul 022010

Before trying to master others, be sure you are the master of yourself.

As we enter our last day at NLP, Timeline Empowerment® and hypnosis training the main theme I’m taking away is….master ourselves through the discipline of mental strength and personal development and become the leader we were born to be.

When you develop the discipline of mental strength, you immediately set yourself apart from the crowd. You become a leader; mental strength thinking leads to positive and strong action, while negative thinking leads to apathy and inaction.

When you take the initiative in any situation, others will follow simply because they like to associate with people who know where they are going. In order to lead, however, you must first be willing to discipline yourself.

The first rule of leadership is never to ask others to do what you are unwilling to do yourself. You can lead only by example. Being a leader requires you to work harder and longer than the others and proving you are the master of your own destiny.

I found the below excerpt from Napoleon Hill so powerful concerning one key attribute that all leaders must have….self-confidence.

Self-Confidence Formula

by Dr. Napoleon Hill

“I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life; therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality; therefore, I will concentrate my thought, for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture.

I know through the principle of autosuggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it; therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.

I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice; therefore, I will engage in no transaction that does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself. I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become a self-reliant, and successful, person.

Back of this formula is a law of nature that no man has yet been able to explain. The name by which one calls this law is of little importance. The important fact about it is—it works for the glory and success of mankind, if it is used constructively. On the other hand, if used destructively, it will destroy just as readily. In this statement may be found a very significant truth, namely, that those who go down in defeat, and end their lives in poverty, misery, and distress, do so because of negative application of the principle of autosuggestion. The cause may be found in the fact that all impulses of thought have a tendency to clothe themselves in their physical equivalent.” – Source: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Collector’s Edition. Pgs. 86 & 87.

This has been one of the transformation weeks I’ve ever experienced and have unshakable self-confidence that I can assist anyone who truly desires more out of life and increase their personal performance.

I’d like to hear your thoughts and comments in the section below.

NLP Training Day 5 and 6

Personal Empowerment, Unconscious Mind No Responses »

Jul 012010

By far these past couple of days was the most powerful! We learned about and performed Parts Integration and Time Line Empowerment®.

Inner Conflict

Have you ever said “A part of me wants to do this and a part of me wants to do that”?

How many times have you wanted to take an important decision but felt like lost?

Whether it was a bad habit or an important decision it’s the inner conflict you are experiencing that prevented you form acting the right way. At some point in our lives we may run in a conflict where a part of us wants to do something and another part wants to do the opposite, see the examples below:

To work hard or to play: A part of you wants to go for success and another part of you wants to kick back and take it easy.
To Exercise or not to exercise: A part of you wants to become healthier by exercising regularly and another part of you wants you to enjoy relaxing in front of the television
To Be or not to be: A part of you wants you to quit your job and start your own business for a brighter future while the other part of you wants to enjoy the current job’s security

Sometimes you may not be able to break a habit just because a part of you wants it. In this case the more you will try to break it the more will this part hold on to it and so the result will be returning back to the habit without knowing why.

Resolving the Inner Conflict

Even if you could deal with and ignore the desires of one of your parts you will still suffer from lack of inner integration and you will be full of suppressed emotions and unmet desires.

The solution to this predicament is getting more understanding of those conflicting parts then working on uniting these parts in a common goal.

Parts Integration Using NLP

The following is the basic process we followed to unite the conflicting parts under one common goal. Please understand that this process is dealing with deep communication with the unconscious mind that it’s almost imposable to conduct on yourself.

Your really need to have a qualified NLP Practitioner to work with you on the conflict.

Again resolving the inner conflict will not be solved on the conscious level but instead the process is going to do it on the unconscious.

Step One – Identify the parts: Hold both of your hands in front of you So that your palms face the ceiling. Look at the first hand and imagine that you are holding the first part on it and try to imagine the shape of the part. Some people see it as a glowing ball, some see it as one of their parents and others see much more weird things so just visualize the shape that makes you most comfortable. Try to notice if the part has a weight or if It has a sound. Do the same for the second part. We are using symbols in here because your subconscious mind thinks using symbols.

Step Two - Ask The first part about its Intention: look at the first part and ask it “For what purpose…?” After the answer the question “For what purpose?” or “For what intention?” is asked again. This process continues until the real underlying intention is discovered.

Step Three – Ask the Second part about its Intention: This would follow the same process until a point where the same underlying intention is revealed. The more you go up in the hierarchy of intentions the more will you find that parts are agreeing together.

Step Three – Bring them together: Talk to both parts and tell them that they are both having the same intention and that there is no need for a conflict. If you were doing it right from the beginning you will notice that your hands are coming closer and closer until they touch. When the hands touched each other then hold them together firmly and bring them to your chest. This will send a clear message to your subconscious mind that the conflict was resolved.

I hope you can see how amazing this process is! Imagine dissolving inner conflicts in less then 10 minutes…and then taking action and getting things done!

Next…Time Line Empowerment®

This was so intense and experiential that I can only give broad brush strokes description.

The Theory of Time Line

The temporal or time-related nature of our experiences offers a unique opportunity to shift how we’ve stored the processes, decisions and emotions related to our Internal Representation. By using language, visualization and temporal play on the time line, we can effectively release or naturalize negative states (anger, sadness, fear, guilt) and re-evaluate limiting decisions. This in turn enables our neurology to organize itself into a more resourceful and empowering system.

Time Empowerment® Techniques

Time Empowerment® techniques emerged from and integration of early Time Line techniques and Hawaiian Huna esoteric teachings. It was developed by in 1987 by Dr. Tad James and is only taught at The Empowerment Partnership, a division of Kona University.

The process releases negative emotions and limiting decisions or beliefs, as well as a variety of other temporal-based problems. Effectively the process erases the neurological connections to those old emotions and decisions while at the same time exposing the teachings, leanings and other empowering resources that were previously masked by the unsupportive states.

This process in conjunction with NLP, Hypnosis or just by itself produces truly amazing results that produces electrifying personal empowerment. This confidence allows a person to move forward with confidence that results in a dramatic increase in their personal performance.

Again, these two processes by far have been the most powerful and most effective at producing lasting shifts.

If you would like to great giant shifts in your life, and who wouldn’t right? Then find a certified NLP & Time Empowerment® practitioner today! You’ll be amazed at the results.

NLP Training Day 4

Unconscious Mind No Responses »

Jun 302010

: Image via Wikipedia

Each day gets better and better…there are so many amazing shifts and breakthroughs with everyone!

On Day 4 of our NLP Training we continued with anchors and utilized chaining anchors.

Chaining anchors can be used to bring yourself from a negative state that you usually feel to a positive one. For example you procrastinate and want to experience motivation. By chaining anchors, you can chain the state of motivation, so that the next time you begin to procrastinate, you’ll instead be motivated and get things accomplished.

You can see the power in this can’t you?

In chaining anchors, you use intermediate states to get to the target state. That is, you would use procrastination as your initial, then for the second anchor you might use boredom. Then for the third anchor you’d use a more empowering state like passion. Then the final (or desired) state, motivation would be used.

Once you have all the anchors set you sequencly fire each one off. I’m not going to go in the specific process here and wouldn’t you like to be motivated all the time?

Image how much you could get accomplished!

In the afternoon we moved on to Strategies.

This was so cool!

You see everybody has their own unique unconscious strategy (way of doing something). These processes range from how we buy something to how we fall in love.

The great thing about Strategies is that if there is an element missing in your strategy you may not be getting your desired results, i.e. buying too much, not finding the right person, or even not learning as effectively as you’d like.

Once you know your Strategy you can modify it to get the results you want.

To help understand Strategies better here’s a brief explanation.

STRATEGY: A sequence of thought processes to obtain an outcome; What someone does to obtain a desired outcome using the distinctions of a Model, is a strategy. The strategy is not part of the model; it is a strategy for using the model. A strategy may not work as well for some people as it does for others. This is the reason why often there are many different strategies for using the same model and therefore many different techniques that get equivalent results.

When you want to model excellence from someone else, using their strategy is very helpful and important.

There are two ways to elicit a person strategy….oh by the way; you can’t elicit your own strategy….the process moves too fast. You have to have someone else do it for you.

The first way is asking by questions that pertain to the strategy, i.e. buying, and watching the person eye movements. The eye movement will give a rough map of how that person makes their buying decisions.

If you’re in sales…can you see how helpful this technique would be?

NLP is a “do with” process and not a “do to”, so this is a tool to assist with change. The important thing to remember is that the individual is 100% responsible for their own results. Just like any tool, i.e. a hammer, screwdriver, etc the tool is at the mercy of the person using it. The same goes for NLP….there is no red pill to instantly fix yourself and give yourself personal empowerment and increase your personal performance, but NLP comes the closest.

NLP Training – Day 2

Unconscious Mind 4 Responses »

Jun 272010

: Image via Wikipedia

Another mind blowing day of NLP training! Today was about language and communication. The person who is most flexible with their language controls the conversation.

Here’s a recap of what we learned.

Hierarchy of Ideas (chunks)

Up
- To get agreement
- Abstraction
- “For what purpose?”
- What is this an example of?
- What is your intention?
Down
- Details
- Distinction
- Can lead to disagreement
Lateral
- Chunk up (what is this an example of?)
- What are other examples of this?
- Chunk down to similar example

Metaphor

Presenting problem – Barrier (critical factor) – Solution

Metaphor presents a solution that is has no conscious connection and bypass the critical factor,

Making Metaphor work

Get present state
Get desired sate
How is this a problem
What prevents you…
What’s important to you (of value or interest)
Create metaphor
Deliver metaphor (with out any conscious connect to solution)

Milton Model (chunks up)

Milton Erickson maintained that it was not possible to consciously instruct the subconscious mind, and that authoritarian suggestions were likely to be met with resistance. The subconscious mind responds to openings, opportunities, metaphors and contradictions. Effective hypnotic suggestion, then, should be ‘artfully vague’, leaving space for the subject to fill in the gaps with their own unconscious understandings – even if they do not consciously grasp what is happening. The skilled hypnotherapist constructs these gaps of meaning in a way most suited to the individual subject – in a way which is most likely to produce the desired change.

The Milton model is purposely vague and metaphoric and is used to soften the meta model and make indirect suggestions. A direct suggestion merely states the goal. For example, “When you are in front of the audience you will not feel nervous”. Whereas an indirect suggestion is less authoritative and leaves an opportunity for interpretation. For example, “When you are in front of the audience, you might find yourself feeling ever more confident”. The preceding example follows the indirect method as both the specific time and level of self-confidence is left unspecified. It might be made even more indirect by saying, “When you come to a decision to speak in public, you may find it appealing how your feelings have changed.” The choice of speaking in front of the audience, the exact time, and the likely responses to the whole process are framed, but imprecise language gives the client the opportunity to fill in the finer details,

Milton Model Language Patterns

Mind read – Claiming to know someone feelings or emotions
Lost Performance – Value judgment
Cause & Effect – if this…then that
Complex Equivalent – Two things are made to be the same, “that means”, “because”
Universal Quantifiers – Every, all, never
Modal Operators – Implies possibility or necessity – should, shouldn’t, can’t must
Nominalization – Process words that are frozen in time and become nouns – “new learning’s”
Unspecified Verbs – adverb/adjective does not specify the verb – “Just do it”
Tab Question – Question at end of statement – “can’t you?”
Lack of Referential Index – Phrase that does not pick out listeners’ experience – “one can do, anyone can do”
Competitive Deletion – Comparison made and is not specified as to what or whom – “more or less the right thing”
Pace Current Experience, aka the yes set – persons verifiable experience is described in a way that is undeniable
Double Bind – Statement that delivers two choices, both of which are desirable separated by “or”
Conversational Postulate – A question delivered in such a way that answering “no” would be crazy.
Extended quotes – A statement with a quote that is extended beyond “normal” and the deliverer of the statement keeps making their point.
Selectional Restriction Violation - A sentence that is not well formed that in that only humans and animals have feelings – “the walls have ears”
Ambiguity – Two words that sound the same and have different meanings, “here, hear
Utilization – using everything that happens or is said

Meta Model (chunks down)

The meta model was the first model presented by Bandler and Grinder in 1975 based on Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir together with some language categories from transformation syntax. It consists of categories of questions or heuristics which seek to challenge linguistic distortion, clarify generalization and recover deleted information which occurs in a speaker’s language. Typically, questions may be in the form of “What X, specifically?”, “How specifically?”, “According to whom?” and “How do you know that?”. Whereas the meta model is very specific, the Milton model was described by the authors as intentionally vague. Many of the Milton model patterns are intentionally distorted, generalized and deleted.

Distortions
- Get clarity by asking “how” questions
Generalizations
- Get clarity by asking “What” and “what would happen if”
Deletions
- Get clarity by denationalization and what/whom specifically

NLP Training – Day 1

Unconscious Mind 2 Responses »

Jun 262010

It’s been great first day of NLP training with Dr. Matthew James and my head is about to explode! I can’t imagine what it will feel like at the end of day 8!

To help me comprehend the material I created an overview/outline of day one. I though it would be interesting to share this with you so that you might begin to contemplate the results you’re getting in life and know that you can do something to improve them.

You can find a validation for or against any belief or position, which one do I choose to focus on? The ones that support what you want or the ones that do not support what you want?

Themes

Empowerment
Perception is Projection
Nero Transmitter baths every cell in out body
Responsibility for Change

Empowerment

Cause & Effect
- Your either on the cause side or the effect side – you have a choice.
At some level you have created every experience (for some learning) and will continue to get these experiences until the learning is understood.
Cause = Responsibility
Effect = Reason (excuses)
This is not about fault it’s about taking responsibility
The goal in life is move from Effect to Cause
Focus on what you want – not what you don’t want
I am a caring person and I don’t care about your excuses, I care about your results.
There are many areas of life where you are at cause (reasonable for the results), i.e. paying bills.
You are the captain of your ship, pilot of your plane and driver of your bus.
Empowerment is using tools and techniques to move from the effect side to the cause side and then create my life the way I want to.

Perception is Projection

2 M bits of information coming into us
126 bits of info make it to our conscious awareness
We generalize, delete or distort the info
Internal representation
- VAKOG (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, gustatory)
- 7 +- 2 chunks of info
- NLP helps change the internal representation
State
- Emotions, feelings
- Time empowerment helps remove negative emotions, i.e. anger, fear, sadness, guilt
- Our sate assists in determining our experience
Physiology
- Behavior is unconscious
- Change the physical change the state and internal representation, but only temporary.
It is through our values, beliefs, experiences, and “knowledge” that we create our filters and hence our experience…our ‘reality.’
We can change these filters at anytime to allow more ‘positive’ and supportive information into our conscious.
Change all three aspects, i.e. Internal Representation, State and Physiology then change is permanent

Nero Transmitter (chemical)

Everywhere in our body, not just the brain
Mind/Body connection
Every cell in our body is bathed in our thoughts
The world we experience in completely in our head (internal representation)
There are more neurological connections in the human body and brain then stars in the sky and sand on the all the beaches. Our cells are bathed in our thoughts.

Responsibility

We are the only one responsible for our change and results
Through mental strength process like NLP, hypnosis, Time Empowerment we can make the change happen easily and swiftly
I create my life and the way I want it.
I’m in charge of rapport

NLP

A ‘do with’ process as opposed to a ‘do to’ process
Our words don’t describe our world, they create it.
Outcome – know what you want
Rapport – Developing flexibility
Language – Communication has an affect
Sensory Acuity – Knowing when you are getting what you want.
NLP is essentially a pattern interrupt

Unconscious

All learning, behavior and change is at the unconscious level
If the unconscious is not cleared of negative baggage, i.e. anger, sadness, fear, guilt, it cannot be aligned with the conscious, the Law of Attraction and all its’ techniques will not work.
When the unconscious is cleared of negative baggage and aligned with the conscious The Law of Attraction works perfectly

The Major Commands of the Unconscious Mind – Part I

Mental Strength, Personal Develpoment, Unconscious Mind No Responses »

Jun 212010

We have all heard and probably read that Unconscious Mind runs our life. But I wonder if you really know how powerful it is?

We live in a world were we think that all things happen because of our Conscious Mind. But in reality our Conscious Mind has only plays a small part in our reality – compared to our Unconscious Mind.

In this first part (of two) I’d like to go over the prime directives of the Unconscious Mind. These directives come from a few sources, i.e. NLP, Time Line Empowerment/Therapy® as well as Huna.

One very important idea to realize is that all change, learning and behavior is performed in the Unconscious Mind. We can talk with our Conscious Mind, i.e. reason, but at the same time, we also can communicate with the Unconscious Mind. This communication is about the kind of changes we want to make, those behaviors that don’t support were we want to go and the leanings we need to take from every experience. In order to develop our personal empowerment and enhance our personal performance we need to incorporate and utilize the work of the Unconscious Mind .

So a basic understanding of how the Unconscious Mind works can help in being able to work with it.

Let’s begin by defining the Unconscious Mind. The Unconscious Mind as the part of your Mind, that you’re not conscious of, right NOW! I mean think about that for just a minute, because until I mentioned it, you weren’t conscious of the feeling of your feet against the floor, or the backs of your legs against the chair, or your back against the chair. As you read this, you aren’t so conscious of the noises going on around you.

Certainly, there are some noises that are coming from around you. All of those things that you weren’t necessarily conscious of … and certainly you weren’t conscious of your eyes blinking, or your breathing, or the beating of your heart, and all of those things are things which your Unconscious Mind does for you.

The Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind sort of put the notion of change in perspective, because the fact is, when we create change, the changes we create are going to happen at the unconscious level, and in conjunction with the Unconscious Mind.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 1
The Unconscious Mind stores our memories.
- It stores our memories in relationship to time, and it stores our memories not in relationship to time. There is a word here that is important and that is “relationship” … We will consider it a little later. The word is temporal; it means in relationship to time, and that means our Time Line, and atemporal means not in relationship to time. Usually the language that we learn, the language that we know and the meanings of the words are not learned in relationship to time. Now ‘relationship’ is very important because it is a job of the Unconscious Mind to create relationships, or ‘connectedness’, at the unconscious level.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 2
The Unconscious Mind makes association (links similar “things” and ideas) and learns quickly.
- As we experience life our unconscious takes these experiences and “categorizes” them by similarity. This assist us when we come across something new we’re able to pick that “thing’ up quickly, i.e. rollerblading and ice skating. Unfortunately this can also hold us back. If we try something and fail, then if try something similar our unconscious will “know” that we have failed before and we fail again. Now a limiting belief has been created. This is why developing mental and replacing limiting beliefs empowers us to significantly increase our personal performance.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 3
The Unconscious Mind organizes all of our memories
- It uses the Time Line, and the mechanics of that organization is known as the Gestalt. Our memories are organized generally according to time, but they’re also organized according to subject. They are also organized according to feelings and then that is what allows us to have a certain chain of memories of happiness, or a certain chain of memories of frustration. The Unconscious Mind will chain all of those together in a Gestalt.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 4
The Unconscious Mind will repress memories with Unresolved Negative Emotions.
- The metaphor of Hawaiian Huna, which is the psychology of ancient Hawaii, said that often times the Unconscious Mind will take a memory with Unresolved Negative Emotions on it, and put it into ‘a little black bag’ … and then shove it down. Until these repressed emotions are dealt with we continue to bring them into our future. Have you ever noticed that you keep experiencing certain negative situations over and over? These situations are directly connected to your unresolved emotions, and until they are resolved you will keep reliving your “past” by placing it into your future.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 5
The Unconscious Mind presents repressed memories for resolution.
- The Unconscious Mind will brings those unresolved memories to be dealt with and resolved….and usually at strangest times.
- Let’s say you’ve set an inspiring goal, your all excited about it. Then in a few days you get a thought about something that happened in your past that you’re still holding on to.
- Your unconscious is telling you that before you’ll be able to achieve your goal you’ll need to deal with this emotion. Sure you may be able to bully way to the goal, but the effort wills much more then if you had resolved the negative emotion, and the results will be fleeting and not long lasting.
- The Unconscious Mind also realizes that those Negative Emotions aren’t really good for us. The Unconscious Mind ’s job is to bring up those memories for resolution.
- If you have gained resolution on a certain memory, sometime in the past, you may have found that it ceased to bother you. In fact, that is actually the mechanics of how Time Line Therapy® works, it ignites your personal empowerment.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 6
The Unconscious Mind has the right to keep repressed emotions repressed for your protection.
- Often, that’s the mechanism where by we don’t actually remember the full content of a certain memory. The event can be so dramatic that in order for us to survive and function the Unconscious Mind suppresses the experience. Unfortunately what ever that event was we still being the emotions and beliefs with us into the future.
- By observing patterns in our life and results and have no clue what so ever we can then begin to uncover these deep dark emotions through Time Line Therapy®, NLP and personal development.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 7
The Unconscious Mind runs the body.
- Now that’s useful. Its better that the Unconscious Mind should do it than that we have to do it. Certainly if I had to breathe myself every day… think about that for a minute… if I had to breath in… and then breathe out… and in and out… You’d have to sit there and think about it. “Is it time to breathe in yet? You don’t have to remember to do that. The Unconscious Mind does it so that everything happens automatically for you.
- So, the Unconscious Mind runs the body, and it also has a blueprint that it uses to run the body. It has a blueprint of the body now, and it also has a blueprint of perfect health, and that blueprint of perfect health is stored in the deepest part of the Unconscious Mind. The Unconscious Mind has access to a blueprint of perfect health, and we use that blueprint when we are asking the Unconscious Mind to begin to heal the body.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 8
The Unconscious Mind preserves the Body.
- It maintains the integrity of the body. All things being equal, the Unconscious Mind will always take as its highest job, the preservation of the body.
- Now sometimes, Unconscious Mind “forgets” about this. So then there are things like ‘dis-ease’, which crop up. It’s really not forgetting in the true sense of the word, but more like being reprogrammed by limiting beliefs. These beliefs get there by reading “authoritative” reports, studies, news and books. But the fact is that the highest job of the Unconscious Mind is to preserve the body. This is probably the most important Prime Directive of the Unconscious Mind … which is to preserve the body.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 9
The Unconscious Mind is the domain of the emotions.
- It’s where all the emotions live. Someone who is not all that well connected with their emotions may not have as good a connection with the Unconscious Mind as someone who is well connected to their emotions. So, the Unconscious Mind is the part of us that feels, although we are certainly conscious of our emotions, but typically the emotions are stored and organized and kept in the Unconscious Mind.
- This is why developing the mental strength to go into the Unconscious Mind with processes and techniques like NLP, Time Line Therapy® and shamanism are so important. When we get access to negative emotions we can then find the “root cause” and work with that, as opposed to the effects it has on our life.

Prime Directives of the Unconscious Mind # 10
The Unconscious Mind is a highly moral Being.
- It accepts the morality which you’ve been taught and which you have accepted. You may have heard it said that there is even honor among thieves … which is why everyone can have a different morality. We can have a different morality because the Unconscious Mind has to accept a certain morality … and either it will accept, or reject, the morality that you grew up with.

Well that’s it for Part I. I hope you’re beginning to realize how much influence our Unconscious Mind has in creating our results, reality and our experiences.

And the only way to affect lasting change is work at the level of Unconscious with mental strength techniques like hypnosis, NLP, Time Line Therapy® and shamanisms.

My Mt. Rainier Avalanche Experience – Revisited

Uncategorized No Responses »

Jun 122010

: Image via Wikipedia

It was 12 years ago that I made a significant accomplishment in my life…I summated Mt. Rainer! It was a great experience and one that I will always remember for two opposite reasons:

I summated Mt. Rainer with my older brother
We both survived an avalanche on the way down.

My brother and I were part of a climbing school, with about 20 other climbers, camped at Muir Hut at 10,000 feet learning and practicing mountaineering techniques. On the last day we left for the summit around 3:00 AM.

It was a beautiful clear day and by the time we reached the bottom of Disappointment Cleaver the sun was rising and the moon was setting, you could both of them at the same time.

I would get into my entire story here; you can read more about it here “Something Has Changed In Me”

I will say that this day is when I truly understood the mind, body, spirit connection. As I was suspended over a cliff with a 1,500 + foot drop I had to have clear thinking. When I gave up some of my outer layer of clothing to help those below me on the cliff drenched on freezing cold water runoff, I found the true meaning of giving from the heart. When I had to crawl back up the hill and walk over 1 mile with a broken hand and torn PCL dehydrated and hypothermic, I found how tough my body can be.

When I look back the entire event this is where I discovered the true meaning of mental strength.

Since then I have dedicated myself to continuing to develop what was born that day and help others to find their mental strength without having to go through such a extreme event.

This is one reason why I have skills, experience and am certified in a variety of areas such as:

Firewalking
Glasswalking
Brick breaking
Bending rebar with the neck
Snapping an arrow with the throat
Shamanic Trance Dancing
NLP
Extreme fitness

I use all the above tools and more to help people break free from their limiting beliefs and create a warrior mindset that is unmovable, unfaltering and rock solid.

So, in looking back, I am thankful for my experience on the mountain, because if it did not happen I would have not found my mission and many people would still be sleep walking through their life.

My e-book, “How to Develop the Mental Strength of a Warrior” helps a person go through a process where by they can develop mental strength with out having to experience a life threatening event.

I’d love to hear about any events you have experiences that have changed your life for the better in the comments below.

PS: Here is another story on the avalanche “Avalanche Slams Into Climbers On Mt. Rainier; 1 Killed, 8 Hurt”

Mental Strength and the Power of Self Confidence

Mental Strength No Responses »

Aug 072009

Self-confidence can be described as the ability to trust oneself as well as one’s gifts. This quality is critical to a person’s successes throughout one’s lifetime. This mental strength helps people to understand that they are worthwhile and that they are able to succeed in their actions. Even individuals who do not possess this trait can start to increase their self confidence.

Without this mental strength, a number of persons are unable to accomplish life dreams. They are often ineffective in relationships, educational attempts, and work situations. They often acquire a social phobia, and tend to be awkward in social encounters. Those who do not possess self-confidence frequently be reluctant to attempt to aspire or labor toward goal accomplishment; these people become convinced that they are likely to fall short. They know that they are not as good or as capable as those around them. They usually do not succeed because of their lack of belief in themselves.

In contrast, the one who is able to gain self confidence will find himself or herself strong enough to change this painful trend and achieve a cure for this social phobia. Such a person will find that building self confidence results in amazing improvements in relationships and academic achievements. Often, an employment prospect can occur because of actions toward boosting self-confidence.

People may have failed to build self-confidence for a number of reasons. They might have had domineering parents, or been teased frequently during their school years. Many struggled educationally or socially. Others simply had difficulty making friends or encounter the reassuring support of classmates, parents, or teachers. Frequently, these individuals struggle with a self-perception of inadequacy and uselessness.

Many times, individuals who were not able to gain self confidence as children struggle with building self confidence throughout adulthood. They have been unable to learn how to affect this, and are able to learn only if they look for the assistance and support of peers or professional counselors. Too many people do not want to admit these difficulties in their lives, and merely continue to strive during their lifetimes.

A number of strategies are sometimes utilized to help individuals to build mental strength and self confidence. Many styles of counseling approaches, like behavioral therapy or group therapy, have been used to instruct clients how to boost self confidence. Numerous self-help books have been developed to coach people to improve self-confidence. Therapists even provide seminars and retreats structured to assist people gain self confidence.

Although all of these strategies may be helpful, three alternative strategies that are not difficult to learn and quite effective for a majority of persons who try them are confidence hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and mental strength training. Professionals who employ confidence hypnotherapy and mental strength training are typically successful in coaching clients to acquire self-confidence and drastically improve both their outlooks and their abilities to succeed in life.

Classic hypnotherapy (employing post-hypnotic suggestions) can be very useful. This approach is most helpful for people who are suggestible and easily directed. This type of therapy typically is not helpful with persons who are more methodical or are critical thinkers.

Those described by the latter category, Ericksonian hypnosis or NLP therapies work much better. These approaches are excellent for effectively relating to the subconscious, which is the seat of our thoughts and feelings. This is because the resistance typically offered by analytical persons to suggestiveness is bypassed.

A tool offered through that individuals are usually taught to boost self-confidence is called anchoring. Anchoring is a normal experience. For example, if you encounter a song from the past, and have sensations of deja vu, this is because your unconscious connected the sensations in a past situation, with the music that was playing during that time. So hearing the song again, the unconscious triggers the memories related to it. So the song is an anchor for those memories.

Using the technique known as anchoring, individuals are coached to recall an instance where they did experience the emotions of confidence. As they recall and re-experience those sensations, they are taught to touch two fingers together. The unconscious then associates the feelings of self-confidence with this physical action. If the individual says that he or she has no memory of ever feeling confident, the person is encouraged to design an imaginary event where they do see themselves exhibiting confidence, and then anchor that instance of confidence.

Once they’ve anchored the emotions of confidence, when they find themselves in situations that necessitate self-confidence, touching the fingers together triggers emotions of confidence that are useful in the present situation.

Another very powerful NLP technique called the “Flash” may be utilized to instantly exchange painful feelings, which are often related to a lack of self-confidence. Because of this method, the individual diverts the visual images that cause negativity, to trigger mental images to generate a positive feeling.

For instance, the client directs the unconscious to employ the mental cues that trigger emotions of uncertainty, as triggers for mental images that trigger perceptions of confidence. Mental pictures trigger emotional reactions.

Everyone has goals, and desires. A number of persons can work toward these to achieve their desires. Sometimes, however, people permit their lack of self-confidence to conquer them. Even though NLP does not work for everyone, the vast majority of clients who try this strategy report great success in boosting self confidence. This approach is actually more beneficial than alternative approaches for most people.

Summary: Those who lack self-confidence and mental strength typically do not easily succeed in many areas of their lives. A number of factors cause persons to experience social phobias or feelings of incompetence. A number of strategies can help clients to boost self-confidence. Among them, NLP is widely reported to be very beneficial by a large percentage of people who have tried this strategy. A different and equally successful avenue is mental strength training.
