Shifting beliefs

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

In my last post, I wrote that one of the main reasons that most new year’s resolutions and affirmations fail is that we’re working with them with our conscious minds.  The beliefs that drive us, that control us are programmed into our unconscious minds, and until we find a way to change that programming, no amount of willpower and conscious action will change us.

I’ve spent over 30 years exploring just about every psychological and spiritual approach to personal growth and development you can imagine.  A few months ago, a mentor and trusted friend of mine told me about a program that allowed you to totally rewrite those subconscious beliefs, replacing limiting beliefs with empowering ones, in a matter of minutes.

Now, I know the building blocks of this technique, and, while they are powerful, I was skeptical.  However I trusted my friend – and my intuition which told me to go – and I went.

And I was amazed.

These processes, from a discipline called Psych-K are probably the most powerful psychological processes I have ever learned in over three decades.  I have never seen such a simple, elegant constellation of these building blocks, and they work powerfully.  In a weekend you learn 3 processes that you can use with yourself or with others in a matter of minutes.

Learning these techniques helped me through significant change last year, and I still use them virtually daily.

Lesson one: Don’t assume you know it all, no matter how long you’ve studied.

Lesson two: It doesn’t have to be complicated.  It can be incredibly simple.

It’s not rocket science, folks.  You can believe me – I’m a rocket scientist.

That’s my 2 cents.

How to rewrite disabling beliefs

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I recently went to a workshop that promised to teach you how to totally overwrite adisabling belief with an empowering belief, for yourself or others, in just a few minutes.  Let's just say I was skeptical.  And I came away wonderfully suprised.

Over the past 30 years I've explored many, many psychological and spritual processes for self-growth and healing.  I'm a master practitioner in NLP, I've explored shamanism for year, you name it, so the promise of this workshop certainly raised my eyebrow.  However, a very dear friend and mentor had highly recommended this to me, and I'd been intrigued about it from a book I'd read recently.  And, most importantly, my intuition told me to go, so I went.

The modality is called Psych-K, and the elements of it come from many disciplines I'm familiar with – NLP, muscle testing, whole-brain thinking and so on.  However, I've have not yet encountered such a simple, elegant, powerful constellation of these building blocks before.  Not only that, the processes ('balances' as they're called in Psych-K) include what are called ecological checks, to ensure that the beliefs you 'install' are appropriate for you as a whole being (because we are complex systems).

Our conscious minds, seen as 'processors', operate at about 40 bytes per second, and our subconscious minds operate at about 40 Million bytes per second, so our subconscious, with all our pre-programmed beliefs, is really what's in charge.  Saying affirmations over and over is like going at an iceberg with a toothpick.  The Psych-K balances rewrite the iceberg.

There's no psycho-babble, no anal-yzing why the dis-empowering belief wasn't there in the first place – just checking if the belief is safe and appropriate and then badda-bing, badda-boom, rewriting the software in your subconscious mind.

Bottom line: I'm really, really impressed, and I recommend this workshop highly.  I think I can say that it's the most powerful non-spiritual approach to self-healing I've encountered in over three decades of exploration.  It rocks!

That's my 2 cents. What do you think?
