Hypnosis for Peak Performance

It Calls To You

March 14, 2016 by Mark Shepard


“It Calls To You…”

You hear the phrase a lot around religious and spiritual circles… “I feel CALLED…”

Lately I’ve heard it in business and career contexts as well…

The notion is growing in our cultural consciousness that our work can be something that is so meaningful, and personally significant that it is “not just a job, it’s an adventure”

It’s not just a job it’s a “calling”…

One of the areas I’ve done a lot of work around in my own life as well as with clients over the years is clearing the old limiting beliefs around “what you’re supposed to do in order to make a living.”

The majority of the population has internalized the sad and stressful idea that they don’t really have a choice. The parody of the 7 Dwarves song, “Hi Ho, Hi Ho” has become a negative mantra for many:

“I owe, I owe, so off to work I go”…

Its a sad song sung in many a head on rainy Monday mornings like today.

So I want to share with you today a song as well as a somewhat RADICAL idea.

Something IS calling to you.

You may not be able to hear it because it sometimes is a whisper, and we are really good at pushing away those “inconvenient truths” that don’t conform to our social or cultural “rules”.

and Yes. being homeless and destitute is not exactly something kids grow up wanting to be.
Personally, I’ve been there and done that and in retrospect it was a gift to realize how little we actually need to live and how resourceful we can actually be.

I personally prefer prosperity and abundance… But those things do not necessarily require a large bank account.

I would be willing to bet cold hard cash, that you have a dream, a vision, a yearning for your life that calls to you…

And when we are called out of our old habits, patterns, self sabotage, and routines of anxiety and fear, it can be damn scary…

IF we attempt to do it ALONE.

And that’s where these Daily Mind Mastery posts and Transformation Tunes come in.

You are not alone because I am right here working on answering MY call along with YOU.

And I am not alone because I know YOU are reading these posts and listening to these songs and APPLYING them to your own life…

And that makes all the difference.

A really BIG idea has been calling me for a while now… and I’m about to take MASSIVE action on it…

I’m about to take MASSIVE ACTION in a way that is specifically designed to have a massively positive impact on YOUR journey and adventure of answering YOUR calling…

There will be something for my local, Albany NY friends and fans as well as something that my growing global gang of Transformation Nation members can join in and participate in as well…

So keep an eye on these articles or join the Daily Mind Mastery Newsletter List…

It’s coming soon.

In the meantime,

Today’s Transformation Tune is Song # 141 “It Calls To You” (<=== Click the link or use the player at the top)

It’s about the environment calling to us to stop the destruction and start paying attention to sustainability. And that concept applies to our personal, professional and spiritual lives as well…

Ideas are only good if they can be sustained in a congruent and ecological way. And that takes some time and attention. There may be a process of trial and error, of action and reflection that needs to be experienced in real time.

So my friends, take heart, listen to that still small voice in your life. Trust it.

And trusting it doesn’t mean you have to quit your job right away, but you may want to consider what it would be like to simplify, downsize and appreciate the abundance of resources and friendships you have right now and how they already form the foundation of YOU answering YOUR “CALL”.

You have everything you need to take the next step now…

So your assignment today (should you choose to accept it) is to take a few moments to reflect upon and write down what it is you would do if money and the earning of it were not required. In other words if you were independently wealthy and wanted to totally and completely explore an idea, a passion, a project, a goal without having to earn an income, what would that be?

There is no right or wrong answer, and you don’t have to come up with any plan or step by step process to do it. Just knowing what it is is the first step. I’ll share with you tomorrow what mine is… in the meantime,

Peace and grooviness!

Cowabungah!

I will see YOU on the INSIDE!

– Mark

The really important thing is just to be fully aware that you can realize the change you’re looking for…

Give Yourself Permission

March 11, 2016 by Mark Shepard


Give Yourself Permission To Be Human AND To Remember You Are Not The Only One Working on Challenging “Stuff” in Your Life.

Just in case you may be wondering, I have full permission from my client Shawna to share what I shared in yesterday’s blog post.

If you missed it you can find it here: Hypnosis For PTSD

For years I’ve been frustrated with doing great work with clients and watching TRANSFORMATIONAL MIRACLES happen in front of my eyes but due to obvious confidentiality issues I couldn’t really share their stories. And MOST change takes place in PRIVATE.

And sometimes, most of the time actually, it’s not even a big deal. The shift happens and suddenly your world opens up before you in a way that previously was impossible but very quickly becomes the NEW NORMAL… and eventually we move beyond each level when we are ready…

Today’s transformational song  just happens to be about that and you might want to play it softly in the background for the rest of the day… (seriously. See what happens if you do).

So I want to express how deeply grateful I am to Shawna for being willing to co-create with me a series of hypnosis/Energy sessions that are designed not only to help HER, but to help YOU and ME as well.

One of the reasons why I am also fully willing to share MY stories and my own healing process is that THERE IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF!

Just like climbing a mountain can be a shared activity where we can help each other up the steepest parts,

  • We are ALL in this TOGETHER.

  • We are ALL struggling to figure out what the heck we’re doing here in these little bodies on this little planet!

  • We are ALL working on understanding that the “real rules” for joy and THRIVING here in this lifetime are NOT the same rules that our parents and schools and culture has been teaching us!

Ultimately it really is not about “the person who dies with the most toys wins”.

It’s about experiencing the full health, empowerment, strength, joy, abundance and love that we can possibly experience here and now while we are alive!

But those ecstatic states do not just “happen” while we are sitting on the couch numbing ourselves out with TV, food, Alcohol, or sitting in a cubicle hating our job or striving always to please OTHER people even though it’s making you miserable…whatever.

So. If you are interested in your own transformation and “leveling up” in what I lovingly call “The Game”, stick around. It’s happening right here and you can join in the fun by simply reading these posts, signing up for my Daily Mind Mastery newsletter and daring to get a few songs “stuck in your head” while putting the daily “Master Your Mind For A Change” assignment into action.

Speaking of transformation! I want to thank the 5 Transformation Nation members who IMMEDIATELY took action and emailed me back requesting their special Pre-Release LIFETIME ACCESS to “PTSD Hypnosis Session”.  The program itself should be available to the general public as soon as Web Marketing Wonder and Technical Genuis, Michael Guerin gets it all set up.

Then watch the emails and blog posts for you opportunity to jump in as well.

Okay, Now. Your Transformation Tune for the day.
I’m thinking the Victory Song might be a good way to kick off this beautiful Friday in March.

(the player is at the top of this post)

This is a song written specifically with hypnotic language patterns in it PRESUPPOSING victory in all things.

The “Why” questions trigger your Unconscious Mind to accept the presuppositions in the questions and begin to build “evidence procedures” to make the questions TRUE.

It also appeals to all five of your senses so that no matter what your favorite or “default” communication preference is, the message can get deep into your unconscious mind…

In other words, your assignment today (should you choose to accept it) is to listen to this song all day at low volume and pay attention to how things shift in your life. And BTW you can download the song free by clicking the “download” link in the song player. (You can always pay more if you feel so moved :o)

“Give yourself permission to be abundant and at ease….”

And with that song stuck in your head, get out there and have yourself one HELL OF AN AWESOME DAY!

COWABUNGAH BAY-BEE!

– Mark

p.s. When the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Hypnosis and Energy Session is fully available for you I will definitely let you know. In the meantime, if you haven’t yet checked out my audio and video programs designed to put the power of transformation your life in YOUR hands.
