Master Your Mind... for a Change

NLP Evidence Procedures

by

Hey Kids, it’s Day 5 of 90 Day Transformation Challenge #5 and some SERIOUS transformation is happening…

…in my own mind!

(Today I’m going to talk about NLP Evidence Procedures and how they are a vital piece of the NLP Belief Change process…)

I decided after a lot of thought and meditative deliberation to revive my “Transformation Tuesdays” as the context and pretext for creating my next online hypnosis course, called, “Beyond Beliefs: Adventures in Mastering Your Mind For A Change To Live Your Dreams, Faster, Easier Better!”

(or something like that)

Anyway, the first class was this past Tuesday and It’s actually working out better than I can possibly imagine!

Module #1 is Done and if you want to follow along as I build the course you can still sign up for the “basic option” which is only $19.99 per month for the 3 months of this challenge.

If you would actually like to be in the class, I have room for 2 or 3 more folks and it’s only $99.00 per month, so if the add to cart button works there is still room. But I’m closing it down as soon as I get 10 people or by Tuesday night, April 18th whichever we hit first.

Here’s all the “buy me” buttons in case you can’t wait to join us until after you’ve read this whole article:

90 Day Challenge Basic – $19/month for 3 months

  • Get access to the class videos AFTER the live sessions. Watch at your leisure.
  • Get FREE, Lifetime access to the Limiting Beliefs course I will be creating as we go through this challenge.

  • Everything for Basic, plus
  • Access to & Participation in the live, weekly webinar

90 Day Challenge Expert – $199/month for 3 months (expiring soon!)

  • Everything for Basic and Pro, plus
  • Personal, Private, Confidential 15-30 minute check-in call each Month with me (since I currently charge $3,500 for a 90 day coaching period this saves you a ton of moolah).

But HURRY! This group is limited to 10 participants and we are about to shut the class down to any new members for the next 90 days. Don’t let someone else steal your spot…

90 Day Transformation Challenge #5 – Choose the plan that’s right for you

[stripe name=”90 Day Transformation” description=”Join Now!” success_redirect_url=”http://honesthypnosis.com/index.php?/register/Xbekq3″] [stripe_subscription max_occurrences=”3″ label=”Select a Plan:”] [stripe_plan id=”90Basic” label=”90 Day Basic”] [stripe_plan id=”90Pro” label=”90 Day Pro”] [stripe_plan id=”90Expert” label=”90 Day Expert”] [/stripe_subscription] [/stripe]

What happened for me is that as I was describing the process of challenging our limiting beliefs and building what we call in NLP an “evidence procedure” for the new, empowered beliefs, I chose to use my own “stuff” as an example (hey, one of the main reasons I “teach” this stuff is because it helps me to “wawk my tawk”).

To counter the limiting belief that pops up from time to time in MY mind, of “Nobody wants to hear my music…”, I demonstrated my process of COUNTERING my own internal B.S. (That stands for “Belief Stuff”) by going to youtube and searching for “Together We Can Change The World.”

Then I counted up all the views of the various versions of  the TWCCTW song and it turns out we are pretty damn close to A MILLION VIEWS!

COW-AH-FREAKING-BUNG-AH!!!!

CHECK THIS OUT!
Like this one, put up only a year ago it already has 250,000 views…

or this one with 463,000 views…

or this one with 69,000 views…

or this one with 25,000 views…

or this one with 41,000 views…

or this one with 33,000 views…

or this one (one of my favorites) by a group of Ukrainian orphans… with only 16,000 views…

or this one with me singing with a bunch of little kids from Waterbury CT… 28,000 views!

or this one in my living room… 14,000 views…

or this one (looking quite well fed, LOL) of my studio version… 4,000 views…

or this Karaoke version… 10,000 views…

or this district wide choral performance in the Niskayuna Schools performed at Proctors… 2,500

250,000
463,000
69,000
25,000
41,000
33,000
16,000
28,000
14,000
4,000
10,000
2,500
955,500 (is THAT enough evidence? Almost a MILLION?)

And this is NOT a boast. It’s EVIDENCE CONTRARY to the dumbass, defeatist voice that still sometimes rattles around in MY head.

The point is, if I STILL HAVE THAT VOICE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF WORKING ON MY CRAP, then just MAYBE….YOU might just have some negative little voices too. :o)

There’s an old story about a guy in a mental hospital who believed he was a corpse. The psychologists did everything they could to convince him that he was alive. But no. He INSISTED he was a corpse. Finally they asked him “do corpses bleed?”

“NO! Corpses DON’T bleed,” he replied.

So they pricked his finger and blood came out. Rather than changing his ridiculous belief, he responded, “I’ll be damned, corpses DO bleed!”. He just adjusted his belief to include the new evidence as proof that he was a corpse.

That’s an example of an evidence procedure that is working the WRONG way!

We are pretty weird creatures we humans!

YOUR evidence procedure is active and functioning right now but what “evidence” is it building about you and your life? Evidence that you’re not enough? Evidence that you “can’t do what you really want to do with your life?” Evidence that you’ll just end up being alone? Evidence that there’s never enough time, or money, or love?

OR, you COULD use the same evidence procedure to ADD to your internal awareness of your many SUCCESSES and to REINFORCE

  • ALL the gifts
  • AND talents
  • AND abilities
  • AND passion
  • AND strength
  • AND courage
  • AND audacity
  • AND boldness
  • AND love
  • AND power

that you have ALWAYS had… but that your old beliefs filtered out?

HERES ANOTHER ONE OF MY NEW EVIDENCE PROCEDURES… and by sharing this publicaly you better believe it helps to anchor it into my own neurology.

I suddenly remembered that I’ve been making videos and putting them up on YouTube for almost ten years now… so I did a search on my crush anxiety videos, the very 9 part series I put up back in 2007 and discovered… they’ve been watched a lot more than I thought…

  • 42,971
  • 29,330
  • 25,174
  • 26,241
  • 53,185
  • 65,156
  • 32,633
  • 22,424
  • 17,039

That’s adds up to ANOTHER 314,153 people who I’ve helped to CRUSH anxiety. Booom! Take THAT you old limiting beliefs! Suck THAT deep into your unconscious mind Mark Shepard! Not bad for a singing hypnotist!  Shazaaaam!

I, Mark Shepard do solomnly SWEAR and TESTIFY to my OWN UNCONSCIOUS MIND, that I have had OVER A MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE.

and if I took the time to count up ALL the views from ALL the other videos I’ve uploaded, I am pretty confident that it would be more like 2 MILLION VIEWS. So evidently a few people want to hear my music and what I have to say. BOOM TALLA DING!

The “evidence procedure” is just a single one of the many tools I’ll be teaching YOU so that YOU have the key to moving yourself Beyond Your Beliefs To Master YOUR Own Mind For A Change…

Now. If by chance YOU would like to join us in clearing the little voices in YOUR head that tell you, “you’re not good enough” or “nobody wants what you have to offer” or “who do you think you are?” or “I’m no good at selling…” or “Why do I keep repeating my same old patterns of behavior even though I try hard not to…?” or whatever it is for you, you might want to…

a. Join The “Basic” membership level to get the module’s as I upload them after the Tuesday night class.

b. Join our Tuesday night mastermind group before I close the  program to anyone new for the rest of this challenge or

To your success,

Mark Shepard, YOUR Personal Mastery Mentor

P.S. You know in your heart that your old patterns of behavior are costing you more than you care to admit. So just admit it. It’s the same for all of us. You are NOT alone in being imprisoned by your own beliefs. That where we all start. Even the Buddha. Even Gandhi. It’s just part of being human. What’s cool is that you can actually DO something about this. And it is just another way to send out ripples of transformation into the world. You do the world a favor by working on your “stuff” (mostly because you’re a lot more fun to be around when your HAPPY… ;o)

P.P.S. If you do nothing. If you don’t take action right now. You and I both know you will continue to get what you’ve been getting… loneliness, isolation, frustration, shame, embarrassment, fear of rejection… Whatever it is you’ve been attempting to change in your life that just doesn’t seem to want to be changed… Whatever it is that has been slowly draining your energy or making you feel really bad about yourself or your life or your lack of money or your sex appeal or your car or house or whatever… of course only YOU can guarantee that you use the tools and techniques to change. No one can make you change. No one can make your changes for you. No therapist, No witch doctor, No coach, No lover, No Mommy or Daddy or Teacher or Guru. We all have to “get” that WE are the ones creating our realities and the only way to change our reality is by changing ourselves. And BELIEFS are one of the main FILTERS we use to create our realities… I’ll explain all this in the course… but more than that, YOU will be able to take charge of your own mind. Do you have any idea how powerful you actually are? What I do is teach you how to be the driver instead of the passenger of your own life.

Trust me on this, these old beliefs are sneaky little critters… I keep discovering new ones that were somehow hiding invisibly underneath the limiting beliefs I’d already cleared. And as I keep clearing, my life keeps getting better, to the point where I can finally step powerfully into the new belief that seems to have finally settled into my neurology:

I came here to touch the lives of millions of men and women in a positive, healing, transformational way with my Music, My Message, and My Methods.

So far, 40 years into this quest, I’ve touched over a million lives with my music and hypnosis practice and I am just getting started on  a course to touching many, many more MILLIONS of minds, bodies, hearts and spirits before I’m done with this “little project called life”.

P.P.P.S. Maybe you’re not really ready to change. But the worst case scenario is you get the program, try it out and decide it’s not for you. You risk nothing by giving it a thorough test drive.

As always, if you have questions, you can…

Sound Healing Hypnosis “Song Bath” #3 LIVE!

by

It’s day 2 of 90 day Transformation Challenge #5!

I had the opportunity to do another Sound Healing Hypnosis “Song Bath” with my friend Leslie Thornton’s Albany Ecstatic Dance Evolution yesterday morning.

I chose to use a different tuning and play different songs completely from the last 2 “Song Bath” Sessions… (and while my lack of practice showed a bit, it confirmed to me that perfection is a ridiculous standard to hold ourselves to because that expectation simply causes suffering).

So I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Want to join us for the next 90 day challenge? I’m gonna do a free and open Kick off webinar Tuesday night, April 11 at 8 pm ET.

You can get all the details about the webinar and the different levels of class involvement here: 90 Day Transformation Challenge #5

(there’s no registration required, but definitely get there early to make sure you are all groovy. I will be there around 7:45 and we’ll kick it off promptly at 8. I’ll explain EVERYTHING on the webinar)

Got questions? Contact me!

Want to get all inspired and pumped up to Celebrate how far you’ve come since January?  And Where you’re headed in the next 90 days?

Check out this song…

Just for the record here’s what I “discovered” in my Challenge #4:

  1. I Finally figured out that my music and my hypnosis and my painting and my teaching and my learning and applying what I’ve learned are all ONE thing. (duh! :o)
  2. I let go of a bunch of things that I thought I “should” be doing. And instead focused on what I really and truly want to be doing even tho there was less of an obvious and immediate “pay off”. (you might want to check out my “NLP Reframing and Gardening Theory” post)
  3. I stopped drinking coffee (even decaf).
  4. I stopped eating dairy (didn’t notice any difference so I’m probably going to add a bit back in)
  5. I started growing micro-greens to SERIOUSLY increase my leafy green veggies intake and explore whether or not it’s something that I want to add to my “Multiple Streams of income” or just learn from and apply to my “farm” or “garden” of creative projects..
  6. I wrote something like 15 new songs, (some of which I haven’t even logged in with numbers yet)
  7. I made and uploaded a new video almost every single day.
  8. I went from an average of 79 viewers a day to this blog to 158 per day.
  9. I added at least 20 new subscribers to my youtube channel.
  10. I continued to do my slow burn fitness work out
  11. Michael Guerin and I collaborated on a number of projects. One of which was to increase the number of people we can help with my online courses.
  12. Got Joe Mennonna to arrange 3 more of my favorite original songs, “Freedom,” Walk In My Shoes” and “Key To Your Cage”… when they are finished in a week or so, we will release my 19th CD (release date is sometime in May) and the first fully produced CD since I did “Thirsty For The Sky” back in 2001.
  13. I painted new paintings for the first time in 3 years.
  14. I researched a lot of new ideas that I’m applying to running my online and offline businesses and a whole lot more…

Was it worth it? You better believe it was worth it!

I’m even more excited about the NEXT 90 day challenge. I personally would like to invite YOU to join us for the next one.

YOUR 90 Day Master Mind

by


You DEFINITELY have to check out this wild and crazy interview I did with Michael Guerin…

or maybe he did the interview with ME…

Whether he interviewed me or I interviewed HIM, doesn’t matter…

What does matter is that we talk about the “master mind principle” and how it’s helped both of us ENORMOUSLY and how we are now “paying it forward” by providing the support we give each other to folks like YOU. If you’re serious about “getting your sh*t together” and truly living the kind of life you long for, or suspect is possible, you owe it to yourself to watch this and check out the program… Which is a mastermind process around Identifying and Transforming our Limited Beliefs and “Inside the Box” thinking into something which compels us (in the best sense of that term) into a bigger, better, more authentic PROCESS that inevitably LEADS us more and more in the direction we yearn to go…

The 90 Day Transformation Challenge we talk about is long over BUT…

The result is now available for YOU to join in at your convenience…

All the details are here:
Beyond Beliefs Invitation

A little Background:

Michael Guerin and I have been coaching and supporting and challenging and helping each other since 2007.

We first met at a Chamber of Commerce “networking event” that we both felt kind of out of place at…

Eventually he came and did a Breakthrough Session with me in my “Big Blue Hypnosis Chair” to clear agoraphobia and social anxiety… he was a lot of fun to do clearing work with and even more importantly he gave me permission to share his story (which most of my clients would be horrified to do because they don’t want anybody to know they ever struggled with anxiety or whatever).

We eventually started meeting every Monday to just work on our business development and marketing utilizing the powerful magic of the Master Mind Principle…

I’ve been thinking for a while that we needed to start recording our conversations because they just get right to the heart of whatever it is that we’re both exploring and attempting to understand or put into practice… new ideas, old ideas applied in new ways etc.

So he came up for a visit the other day and the timing was perfect because we are just finishing up this current 90 Day Challenge #4 and gearing up for the next one… And I just feel deep in my bones that my next challenge is to find a way to consistently and congruently support, or coach, or teach or mentor other people who could appreciate and benefit from not only MY transformation tools and transformation tunes and transformation topics, BUT Michael Guerin is never far from my white board so to speak…

So we were talking about this next challenge and how we wanted to structure it so that it was a win/win for me and anyone who honestly wants to take their life, work, health or relationships to the next level…

So check this out… it’s a free ranging conversation that in and of itself is actually a form of conversation hypnosis… but where there are two hypnotists and we are hypnotizing each other to truly live on purpose… this is just what happens… when we get together…

And remember, TOGETHER we can change the world… (starting with YOUR world first and THEN sending our ripples and waves from YOU the “Broadcasting and Receiving Tower” :o)

I know a number of you were ready to join us back in January but I wasn’t quite ready. Now I’m ready enough… LOL.

The program is now open and ready for YOU…

If YOU ARE ready.

I will close down registration Sunday night at midnight and our first online class or gathering or mastermind meeting will be Tuesday, April 11 at 8 pm Eastern Time. The group size is limited because I want to over deliver as usual. There will also be 3 choices that are all affordable.

All the details are here:
Beyond Beliefs Invitation

Any questions?Contact me!

– Mark

p.s. If you want to explore the transformation tools that I’ve been using since 2003 to keep my “sh*t” together in the face of all my traumas, phobias, limiting beliefs, economic crashes, being homeless, dysfunctional relationships, personal doubts, confusion, introverted-ness, songwriting (and other) compulsions as well as “failures” and plain dumbass mistakes (aka Growth Opportunities), this will definitely be worth your while… But it’s not for everybody… ;o)

Sound Healing Hypnosis “Song Bath” #2

by

90 Day Transformation Challenge #4 Day 85

Here’s the video from my 2nd Live Sound Healing Hypnosis Session or “Song Bath” which I did in collaboration with Leslie Thornton and her Albany Ecstatic Dance Evolution!

It came out pretty cool with the lights, and the groovy vocal effects gizmo… So you might want to give it a watch or a listen at some point during your day. The suggestions it contains for your benefit are subtle but life affirming.

  1. Become aware of being in your body.
  2. Remember you are a broadcast station sending and receiving signals, exchanging energy
  3. We all have a limited time here on Earth, so begin today to live the kind of life you long to live. Start right where you are.
  4. This entire world we live in is “holy ground” (even New Jersey!). Even wherever YOU live.

Let them sink in… :o) Enjoy!
