Jim Carrey: Mind Mastery Mentor

by

Hey there my beloved Transformation Nation!

On this rainy March Monday as I began to imagine what the Daily Mind Mastery Moment would be about, I stumbled upon this incredible nugget of transformation GOLD…

Jim Carrey’s Commencement Address at the 2014 Maharishi University Graduation

This guy is a Modern Jedi Mind Master. Holy Guacamole!

It caused me to laugh and reflect and renew my commitment to supporting YOU in your journey of transformation with the tools, techniques and talents that I bring to the world… so that YOU can bring YOURS to the world as well.

Like a lot of Processes, it started with a short “taste” of what Jim Carrey said…
if you are pressed for time, watch this first…
Short version of Jim Carrey’s Commencement Address at the 2014 Maharishi University Graduation:

WDIWOBTYCPI Wednesdays

by

What Wednesdays are for…

I don’t know why I did this, but I set up on my white board an intention for every day of the week.

For example, “Mondays are for ME”. I highly, highly suggest you begin to practice a new kind of “Tithing”.
Now before you run to the exits, this is NOT an Evangelical Christian Tithing Sermon…

It IS a Transformational, Mind Mastery Dose of Practical GROOVINESS for your personal mastery mission…

This is about “Tithing” of your time, talent and treasure, but it HAS to start with YOU.

Give to yourself first. This is NOT selfishness. And “Mondays are for Me” is a perfect example. When I take my mondays and really rest, really take care of me and my need for quiet, meditative, restorative time, I have so much more to give to YOU the rest of the week.

So in my schedule, “Mondays are for Me”. You can pick a different day of the week but in my mind, setting aside Mondays for self care and rest is one of the best gifts I can give to the people I love… The entire rest of the week follows… Now many people do that on Sundays, but I work all day on Sundays so Mondays are MY day of rest. (But this message isn’t about Mondays…)

Tuesdays are for TRANSFORMATION… and if you read yesterday’s email/blog post you already know that Transformation Tuesdays are coming! (But THIS message ain’t about Tuesdays so enuf said for now)

But Wednesdays!

WONDERFUL, WEDNESDAYS!

The popular culture calls it “hump day”. The day you get over the hump of the work week and can see the weekend beckoning… And I guess for the cubicle slaves of the world “hump day” gives them some kind of hope… However, I prefer to focus on something a bit different today…

How about… WHY DOES IT WORK OUT BETTER THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE WEDNESDAYS?

W.D.I.W.O.B.T.Y.C.P.I. WEDNESDAYS for short.

What if, every Wednesday morning you started out by writing that power phrase over and over again by hand? And then chanted it all day in your mind?

What would happen if you purposefully and consciously practiced this one little thing every Wednesday?
Seriously! For your own practice pop it into the first person and ask away.

Why Does It Work Out Better Than I Can Possibly Imagine?

Here’s an example: A very dear friend of mine had an ominous email exchange with her boss over the weekend… It seemed so ominous on Saturday that when her boss said… “We have to talk first thing on Monday Morning”… she went a bit into panic mode… and what is pretty cool is that her anxiety response was actually pretty damn productive, she explored the notion that on Monday she would have no job…

So rather than sit around freaking out, she dusted off her resume and reflected on all the skills and assets she has to offer in both the corporate and academic markets and came up with 3 alternative contingency plans so that no matter what, she would be ok with or without her job.

And then? She started breathing, grounding and focusing her mind on:

WHY Does It Work Out Better Than I Can Possibly Imagine?
Why DOES it work out better than I can possibly imagine?
Whey Does IT work out better than I can possibly Imagine?
Why does it WORK OUT better than I can possibly imagine?
Why does it work out BETTER than I can possibly imagine?
Why does it work out better than I CAN possibly imagine?
Why does it work out better than I can POSSIBLY imagine?
Why does it work out better than I can possibly IMAGINE?

And so on… over and over. Heck, I chanted it with her. And I started feeling fabulous as well.
And then she went on to have a fabulous weekend.

Monday, she went in and her boss was completely reasonable, supportive and appreciative of her…
There was no conflict. Just a bit of clarification that had to be talked about in person. No biggie.

Interesting huh?

So you might want to actually put this one into practice. It’s simple. It’s free. It’s accessible anywhere
and it works. It’s also just one of the gazillion mind mastery tools I teach in “How To CRUSH anxiety NOW!”

So that’s your assignment for today (should you choose to accept it). It’s one that just might be revisited on Wednesdays to come.

Why it Works:

It works because it helps to shift your focus, it changes your energy, your bio-chemistry and the presuppositions in the question engage your unconscious mind to filter reality according to the question.

Any thoughts that do not match the presupposition simply get filtered out.

Your Unconscious Mind simply can NOT not filter your reality according to that powerful question. It simply has to accept it and build evidence to verify its truth.

So yeah. It’s actually self hypnosis. If you feel like opting in and joining the Transformation Nation, I’ll send you a link to a full video course explaining why and how this process totally works for you if you use it.

Try it. You’ll like it.

And to support it is a little Transformation Tune I wrote back in 2007…
Song #361 I’m Lucky

or use the handy, groovy player with the horseshoe picture at the top. :o)

That’s it for now.

I love you and I love loving you and I love watching you love yourself more and more each day…

I will see YOU on the INSIDE!

You’re Amazing – Transformational Song

by

hh-12-09-amazing-song-ss1I’ve been MASSIVELY fired up

since Dr. Donnie Epstein reached out to me last week regarding my Together We Can Change The World Song and I’ve got new songs literally pouring through me faster than I can write them down and work on them…

Cowabungah! Shazam! Sizzle! Spark! Snap! Whoosh!

So here’s another new one, it’s a short, simple hypnotic chant which could be sung in a group setting as a “warm up” or “ice breaker” or for your own self hypnosis and walking meditation practice as you go about your day.

Let it get stuck in your head. Fill up that Rostromedial Pre-frontal Cortex with self love baby!!!

Here’s the video. (please note, it ain’t no polished studio recording. But you know that right? It’s FRESH! :o)

The Amazing Song

Focus & Meaning Rap

by

hh-12-08-FocusRap-ss2Hey, hey, hey, hey,

HAY!

Surprise! a VERY short video for you today.

With a new song that is just now moving through me…

Inspired by what I talked about in yesterday’s video/blog post about Dr. Donnie Epstein…

Grounded in the idea that the only two things we humans can control in our world is

1. Where we are focusing our attention or What we are focusing ON…

and…

2. What meaning we give to whatever is happening…

To simplify it into a “chant” or “rap”

It becomes a new mantra…

Where is my focus?
What am I making it mean?

Your assignment today is to write this out, whisper it to yourself, chant it, rap it, sing it… all day long and then let me know how your day went.

Got it? Good!

Cool and groovy. I’m outa hear!

(yes you beloved detail oriented “spell checkers out there”, I MEANT to spell here, “Hear” it’s called “Phonological ambiguity” in Ericksonian Conversational Hypnosis…  Sum People call it Punning… But it adds up to something deep going on in your unconscious mind… That’s right… mmm hmmm :o)

– Mark

p.s. HEY!  a special warm welcome to New Transformation Nation Members Jason from upstate New York and Carina from Hamburg Germany!

Welcome!!!!

p.p.s. Focusing on how bad things are? Want to stop doing that? Need help shifting it? Check out CRUSH anxiety NOW!

The Spinach King of South Africa

by

spinach-king-ss2The Antidote to “Black Friday” Madness,

Hey there Fabulous, Radiant, Brilliant, Visionary, Caring One,

I don’t know if you get as many emails as I do. I’m on a lot of lists.

And today, this sweet, quiet Friday after American Thanksgiving, my “in-box” is full of strident attention seeking subject lines all about this damn “Black Friday” thing.

WTF? It’s actually mass hypnosis. And not pretty. Kind of “Icky” actually.

The frenzy of sales for stuff that we probably don’t even need. The people waking up early and waiting in line to get all their “bargains”. People wrestling in the aisle for some stupid toy that the manufacturers purposely didn’t make enough of and advertised the hell out of so that they would create false scarcity or “demand”. Yuck. Blecch!

Time to interrupt the pattern, the program the ROUTINE!

I’d like to share this short video with you as a little tiny antidote to the insanity.

I hereby nominate Lufefe Nomjana, the Spinach King of South Africa for lifetime membership in the Transformation Nation because he is actually transforming the world. Let’s all do our little part to do the same in some small way in our own small backyards or wherever…

I am so filled with love and compassion for you today my friend. This man so clearly changed his thinking, focuses his mind on his Massive Throbbing Vision for his Life, his Path With Heart, that I want you to see it, feel it, hear it’s message for you in your life.

There is great power in life affirming ideas. There is great transformational power in taking action, step by step towards your worthy goal or purpose.

When everybody else is “zigging”, then perhaps it’s time for us to “Zag.”

Take time to love yourself today enough to begin to write and tell a new story for you.

All the best!

– Mark

Certainty Without Expectation

by

hh-10-10-certainty-ss1textTo be certain yet unattached to specific “must have” outcomes is the essence of the “Warrior’s Way” that we’ve been playing with all week. It is pretty clear that one major source of pain and misery in our lives can be eliminated by being unattached to outcomes, but committed to the PROCESS of going for what we most want. Whether we get what we set out to achieve or get something different (possibly even better) when it all comes down to it, it is the PROCESS that is what we are really after.

Here’s the video:

Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to play with this “why” question today –

“Why do I live my life with certainty free of expectation?”

or ”

Why do I live my life with certainty no matter what?”

or some variation that works for you. I often use

“Why is THIS perfect?”

to the same ends. It seems to help me to cultivate the attitude of gratitude with whatever life throws at me on any particular day and it’s a lot shorter and has no negatives just total acceptance.

Play with these today or this week or whenever you feel like and let me know how you experience this idea.
