Your Mind Is A Lens

by

hh-10-26-lens-focus-ss1A Monday Morning Mind Mastery Moment…

Well…Well… Welcome, welcome, welcome… to MONDAY morning! (okay so it’s AFTERNOON. It STARTED out early this morning…)

By the time you see this… it may be Thursday evening or a year from now or whenever… hopefully the kick ass Transformational content I’m about to share with you is pertinent and applicable and immediately helpful no matter WHEN or where you are right now… THAT IS, if you’re READY to hear what I have to say… if not that’s cool too…

Read on! (or watch the video). Extra points for both! :o)

[here’s the video in case you are visually inclined]

Anyway, A lot happened over the weekend.

A lot of new budding mind masters joined the Transformation Nation… (use the handy yellow opt-in form and experience the love and grooviness for your self if you haven’t yet joined us…).

Over the weekend, a lot of new folks grabbed my new, CRUSH anxiety NOW program at the ridiculously low “VIP beta test” price.

Speaking of which, One of my favorite CRUSH anxiety NOW customers, Linda, stepped up and shared with the “process” she is going through in her battle with GAD.

She writes in response to my posts from the previous few days where we were talking about Imagination being Your Unconscious Mind and your Will being your Conscious mind…

Letter from a real person
==================

My UCM is my imagination and my conscious mind is my will. Imagination always trumps will. Oh my, seems hopeless, but it doesn’t have to stay that way… I suppose I am thinking that way because of the GAD?
I know that I want to be free from the anxiety!!
– Linda

==================

I wrote back to her with this:

You aren’t thinking “that way” because of the GAD. You have the GAD because you are thinking “that way”. Make sense? – Mark

===================

Why is Linda one of my favorites? Because she is WORKING on her stuff. Because she writes to me. A lot. Because she is consistently, bravely stepping into new ideas that challenge her old, painful, victim paradigm…

And truth be told… Because she is so much like the way I was when I was first discovering that the only consistent factor in my own anxiety and misery, was my old way of thinking…

hold that thought… someone at the door…

ok.

Back.

It was a friend of mine, “M.” who’s going through some really tough stuff in his life too.

Just like Linda, He’s really beginning to ‘get’ that even in the midst of deeply, challenging times, he is healing and growing and coming to new understandings about what’s real, what’s imagined, what are the old patterns and where are the new opportunities for stepping into one’s own personal power to “own” our own experiences.

Both my friend and Linda and so many other Transformation Nation members are demonstrations of the courage to go for something truly bigger, better, healthier, more congruent for our lives.

The sad truth is most folks in the vast masses of the “99%” are clueless to the fact that every… single… day… they are creating their own experience here on earth, in their bodies… They are creating an experience that starts and ends with their thoughts, with their perceptions, beliefs, generalizations, distortions, and deletions of this thing called “reality”…

The filter of all of this is your unconscious mind…. it’s kind of like a glass magnifying lens.

Your conscious mind acts like a the frame of a lens… it turns the lens every which way and attempts to focus it…

The magnifying lens is your unconscious mind… as you move it back and forth, closer and farther the things you can see through it change… sometimes it’s out of focus… sometimes it’s sharp and clear…

If you focus the Sun through a magnifying glass onto a piece of paper or a dried leaf, you can start a fire… The lens doesn’t change the Sun. But it focuses the powerful rays of the Sun in helpful or hurtful ways. The lens doesn’t judge. The lens is just doing what it does. Aligning visual light.

It is the “operator,” the person holding the magnifying glass, that determines what it is going to “frame” or show, magnify or distort.

And then, because of the wonderful power of our minds to form “habits”, whatever you focus on long enough, with enough emotional intensity, eventually becomes a “fixed frame” and stays in place even when you are not consciously holding it there…

So if the frame is focusing your UCM on what a victim you are and how “bad” everything is, and “how everyone is out to get you” or how helpless and hopeless your are or what a victim you are or whatever, THAT is the energy that your body will react to “as if it is real”.

Enter the “fight or flight” response…. BOOM!

But it’s no more real than if you had built a “frame” over time that held your focus on how much of a damn miracle it is simply to be alive, simply to be able to experience the intense beauty of this Autumn day… and then to expand THAT focus and perception to ALL the miracles in your life.

All the the “miracles of the modern world” that you are constantly in contact with… from the touch screen on your phone to the fact that when it gets cold outside your home thermostat automatically calls for just the right amount of heat from your heating system…

and you could take that “lens” of the miraculous, and look ANYWHERE, EVERYWHERE and see your pre-supposition of the miraculous being confirmed…

Focus now on the fact that you are breathing. That your heart is beating. That your body is regulating your temperature and digesting your food…

THAT is a freaking miracle. And it happens automatically whether you are focusing consciously on it or not.

So the entire purpose of CRUSH anxiety NOW! (as well as pretty much all my other courses, no matter what the specific subject matter or “focus” is) is to give you the tools to INTERRUPT the old patterns of thought and behavior and put you in the consciously powerful place of gently and lovingly “breaking” the old “frame” and PRACTICING HOLDING the new frame, and the new focus, until THAT becomes your new Habitual way of looking at the world…

Whew! Does that make sense on a Monday?

I wanted to start the week with you by giving you some of my BEST stuff.

My focus. My frame. My unbending intention, is to show up for you with the keys to an incredible, positive, empowered, healthy, joyful, loving experience of your life.

I can’t “make” you put these keys into the locks that hold the chains and cage doors of your old life, and I can’t “make” you turn the keys to open the locks, but I can put them within your reach so that when you are ready, you can take the keys, open the doors, drop the chains and come out into the bright sunlight… of your own CHOICE… to hang out with us “cool creatives” who are practicing this stuff too…

I’m here for you when you shuffle out blinking into the lightness of being that is your birthright.

Let’s DO THIS! Let’s transform your life into something beyond fabulous.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again.

“We either make our lives miserable or we make our lives magical. The amount of work is the same.”

And, I might add, the tools and techniques are the same as well. We are all using our minds to create something.

What if?…

(and here’s an example of a positive “What if”)

What if, we used these fabulous minds of ours to create something amazing?

Something fabulous?

Something better than the best sex?

Better than the best food?

Better than the best music?

Better than the most entertaining movie in theaters or available for instant streaming online?

Are you in? Want to check it out?

I’ve created something that I think could help you to kick start your new reality. It’s called,

CRUSH anxiety NOW!

I’m really proud of it. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever created. I want you to have it.

It is 31 days of me showing up and helping you to interrupt and “CRUSH” the old pattern of anxiety.

Not “someday”.

Now.

Anxiety, If you will recall from my previous posts, is:

“Thinking about what you do not want to have happen in the future…

…and your Unconscious Mind (which runs your body), physiologically REACTING to that projection in your mind as if it is real.”

Anyone can say, “Change Your Mind and Change Your Life” but in this course, I teach you dozens of ways you can actually do that. FAST. I give you a full palette of colors from which to choose to change the painting of your mind and your thinking.

AND if I say so myself, we have a hell of a lot of fun doing it.

Teaching it to you helps me to LIVE it. Watching you LIVE it is better than just about anything else i get to experience in my own life… It’s fabulous to see you grow my friend.

Hearing from people like Linda and watching my friend M. putting these ideas into practice every day causes me to want to send even more ripples out into the world of people taking charge of their change and stepping into their power to perceive a VASTLY different world…

And that is my core MISSION.

To help 1,000 people… 10,000 people… 100,000 people to discover a world that is vastly different than the average 99% cubicle slave focusing on how to look busy but get done only what’s absolutely necessary so as to not make the other cubicle slaves look bad… or what to say at the water cooler about that sad little TV show that everybody else watches on Sunday nights while they are recovering from their weekend of recovering from their miserable shitty week…

BLECCH!

You are better than that!

I believe you have something special to share with the world and maybe it is as simple as allowing the spark of your authentically joyful smile to shine as you dance through your amazing life.

But if you’re like most of us here at Transformation Nation central, you have amazing gifts that you long to share with the world in a way that makes a positive difference.

Your presence here in this world, on this planet MATTERS. We just have to stop ourselves from stopping ourselves. We have to love ourselves enough to allow ourselves to love ‘what is’.

So if you haven’t yet checked out “CRUSH anxiety NOW!” at the bargain basement “beta test” price, you might want to… practice being the action taking mind master in training who invests in yourself, and goes for it,

(unless of course you want to wait until we raise the price to where it “should” be in order to reflect the MASSIVE value I’ve built into this course so that you don’t feel like you’re taking advantage of me… LOL… ;o)

====================

This is weird,  I just got an email from my business partner. He said, “Let your people know that on Thursday, October 29th the price of CRUSH anxiety NOW is going up to $99”

====================

I think He’s just a bit jealous at how cheap the course is because he paid $2,500 for the same stuff…

AND HE INSISTS THAT IT WAS MORE THAN WORTH IT AT THAT PRICE…

(sorry I had to shout cuz I’m so excited by the fact that my business partner is fvcking awesome at APPLYING his CRUSH anxiety techniques so well that he’s rocketed himself to being WORTHY of coaching ME! LOL… HOW COOL IS THAT? and there are certain things that I totally trust his coaching on… so the price will go up on Thursday… actually he wanted Wednesday but I negotiated more time for you. :o)…

And while I’ve scaled way back on my one on one private coaching work, I still check and answer my emails from my students every single day. THAT’s my MISSION.

And this extremely full post is an example of that…

This is my truest and highest work… Inspired by Linda and Ronald and Eric, and Mike, And “Wez-we” and the thousands of folks all over the world who have been finding my work and applying it in their lives over the past 13 or so years.

Thank you for your presence and patience and persistence and PRACTICE!

…Damn! How did THREE hours go by so FAST? It’s almost Noon my time… LOL

Time for Breakfast. TTYL.

Trouble Focusing?

by

40808287_mHaving Trouble Focusing? Feeling Scattered? Have Many Interests and Talents?

Feel like a kid in the candy store of life? So many things you COULD do? So many possibilities? So many choices?

Do you have many talents and interests? So many that it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming and frustrating?

You might want to try “Chunking Up!” and Surfing it…

I got a great email today from Transformation Nation member Ari. This guy is doing some really good, profound, deep work and I LOVE hearing from him as well as all of you budding Jedi Mind Masters out there.

He was responding to yesterday’s Post, Dealing With Change. His question and reflection on change and the challenge of being a “creative” with multiple interests and passions is sheer “GOLD”. I have a feeling a lot of you can relate to it.

Being a being with multiple interests myself, this used to drive me crazy! I could focus intensely for a while on something but invariably the level of interest and attention would eventually kind of run out…

And something new would grab my attention. Then I’d go deep with that.

  • My first big thing was nature,
  • Which led me to a fascination (as a 4th grader) with everything Native American.
  • Then it was the Revolutionary War,
  • Then it was, learning to play the guitar well enough to write the songs I wanted to write,
  • And of course writing songs
  • Then it was my fascination with world religions
  • Then it was healing my body and my heart/soul,
  • Then it was storytelling and kid performing,
  • Then it was African drumming
  • Then learning the Irish Tin Whistle
  • Then it was hypnosis and NLP,
  • Then it was learning how to paint in a way that made me happy,
  • Then it was developing my anxiety relief programs, and pretty much helping people with all kinds of challenges with NLP and hypnosis, Weight Loss, Habit Control, Shyness,

Of course a lot of this has been going on at the same time in various ways. And when I set one thing down for a while and turned my attention and focus elsewhere, I noticed I would often return refreshed and even more creative. And all these areas of interest were often combining and re-combining in ways that when I kind of relaxed into it and “surfed” it, constantly surprise and delight me.

I also noticed that when I tried to “force” a focus because it would “make more money”. It pretty much always bit me in the butt.

So I’m a big advocate of following the natural “flow” of your interests and passions. And checking in frequently for “congruence”.

Chances are if you are here at HonestHypnosis.com you are probably a bit like my friend Ari and myself… I’d like to invite you to join the conversation…

Here’s his letter:

Mark,

I wanted to explore a little more with you regarding the way I handle change. You and I had talked once about my frustration with having so many different interests (creative, exercise, etc.) that I did not feel that I could be good at any one of them.

In other words, I felt unfocused.

You said that the process of exploring all of them was, in and of itself, a valid reason to be alive, a valid purpose for a life.

I think at the core of my resistance to what you said (there is a part of me that still wants a specialized focus) is trouble coping with change on my part.

If I interpret all of my various interests (guitar, singing, running, photography, yoga, church, farming, etc.) in a positive light, I simply give myself options of what I can do when I happen to have some free time on my hands.

But as it is, I interpret it negatively, as though I have a poor ability to focus, a low work ethic, etc., and that is why I can’t go very far in any one thing. I feel out of control somehow.

Ari

Here is my reply (which is to Ari and all of you as well as my own unconcious mind):

Hey Ari, (Oh man of many talents and interests…)

My profoundest advice is this: Chunk Up and Learn to SURF it.

In fact watch some surfers on youtube or wherever.

Always adjusting and often falling… each wave different from the last…

Each interest is a wave. Ride the one you’re on until it dissipates or you feel drawn to the next one…

Ultimately the waves flow out in circles and then bounce or reverberate back… so you can ride them again and again… in different directions…

It’s all one energy.

Creative.

Divine.

The ancient Toltecs believed that when we die we return our bubble of awareness to the “Source of all things”, “God”, “All that Is”, whatever you want to call it, ENHANCED by our experiences and the memories of a lifetime.

This is our purpose for having the life force given to us… to expand God… To be God’s eyes, ears, sense receptors “on the ground” “in the field” so to speak… and to learn, grow, seek to understand, expand, deepen, discover…

So stop judging yourself for multiple interests. Your creativitiy and interest in many things is what The Universe/God wants you to be doing… Start enjoying the adventure knowing you will someday present it as a gift to your Creator…

If finding a focus is a MUST, then try this:
Chunk up enough so that all of the things you love to do
are sweetly nestled under a single cohesive umbrella…

Chunking up is going from specific to general. For example:
Toyota Corolla ==> Passenger Car ==>Motor Vehicle ==>TRANSPORTATION.

For me, when I chunked up on what my music and my NLP / Hypnosis / Painting / Storytelling / Entrepreneurism all had in common…. I got  creativity, making a positive difference in the world and helping other people to learn, heal, expand, develop, grow…. and when I chunked up on THAT, I got “Transformation”

(of course hypnosis is quite literally “Trance Formation”. And Music causes us to transform our state as well and can cause a deep trance…)

So Today’s Mind Mastery Transformation Tip for ALL of you FABULOUS, creative, talented, passionate, curious, action taking “TRANSFORMING bubbles of awareness” out there who have many interests is “Chunk up!” and start surfing all of  your many interests without having to “force” any one of them be the “One thing”. Go into what they all have in common. What is it about these interests that nourish an literally Interests you? Are they areas where you can command some mastery? Are they areas of interest because you happen to be good at them? Or are you good at them because you are interested in them?

Your “One Thing” will be something that INCLUDES all the best of what you are and do and are interested and passionate about.

So tawk to me Ari and all you other folks out there. I find your thoughts Fascinating… I love being a part of your TRANSFORMATION!

Be gentle with yourselves and have fun while you play with this idea today…

Chunk UP and Surf the Waves of Interest…

Mark

Value Based Fees: Why Charging By The Hour Is Weird

by

value-based-fees-ssValue Based Fees: Why Charging By The Hour For Personal Coaching is Weird

When you engage a personal mastery coach, are you really buying their time? Or are you buying their wisdom, expertise, and someone who will hold you accountable for actually doing the things you know would get you a better result IF you actually DO THEM!

What if I could get you a massive increase in success in a particular area of your life, in only 15 minutes per week? Or as the result of a single day of intensive coaching….

  • What is your result worth to you?
  • What has the problem cost you so far?
  • What is your problem costing you?
  • What will it keep costing you if you don’t actually do something different?

This has nothing to do with the value of MY time. It has more to do with the fact that you, my friend are running out of time. Are you actually living the life you want to look back upon from your death bed? What is your success with women, or your career or your health worth?

Watch this brief video and let me know what you think.

Not sure where this idea came from, but as a disciplined “warrior” of Cowabungah! I mapped it out on my trusty white board and then played with it like a dawg gnaws on a bone… Enjoy.

Essentially, we are working towards living life from that deep, calm, almost indifferent place where whatever happens is “interesting”. Nothing upsets you. Nothing surprises you. You can roll with whatever life throws at you…
