Creating a Rapport with the Unconscious Mind

How to Visualize

For many people, being aware of their internal images and voices is a simple matter of fact. For others, this skill is not so readily in their awareness. Being able to create a rapport with the unconscious mind to allow an awareness of inner thoughts is crucial for healing limitations from the past. We have identified several reasons for a person not having conscious access to their internal world:

Hyper-vigilance for safety.
Previous emotional trauma.
Not even knowing to “look for it.”
Habit or other familial patterning.
Not using both hemispheres of the brain in balance.

Future Pacing and Perceptual Positions

Future Pacing

The purpose of future pacing or attaching new learning to events in the future is to give us an opportunity to move forward into new adventures easily and with a deep sense of centeredness. A tangible example would be a dress rehearsal for an event, like a wedding or performance, so that the event will be well-practiced and familiar when it actually occurs. Mental future pacing is done in the imagination with visual imagery predicting success.

Components of Creating Precise and Purposeful Anchors

Components of Creating Precise and Purposeful Anchors

Anchors are the triggers or cues that create the meaning and/or response we give to circumstances and events. An anchor can be established in any of the modalities. Our purpose in this course for studying this phenomenon is to:

Identify an anchor and the response being elicited by it.
Learn how to release the knee-jerk response a limiting or outdated anchor can elicit.
Learn how to establish anchors for a proactive and positive response in ourselves and in others.

What are Anchors?

An anchor can elicit either a resourceful response that is appropriate for the situation, or it can elicit an unresourceful response, often out of the person’s awareness or control and at the extreme becomes a phobic reaction.

Anchors are the super glue that stick experiences together – behavioral habits and routines, sleep postures, that special “our song,” smells, even words are just anchors for certain ways of thinking based on our history and experiences.

What is Hemispheric Integration and How is it Used in Life Coaching?

Hemispheric Integration is a revolutionary technology discovered and developed by Allen C. Sargent, author of The Other Mind’s Eye: The Gateway to the Hidden Treasures of Your Mind. This book is included FREE when you enroll in the Life Strategies Coach Training Program and Certification.

These tools and techniques can be used as a valuable adjunct in psychotherapy, and stand alone at the cutting edge in the evolution of personal growth. [Read more…]

Staying Healthy While Working From Home

Staying Healthy While Working From Home

Working from home as a certified coach or trainer is probably the most enviable of office environments. It can usually allow a certain degree of flexibility in your schedule and the possibility of spending more time with family. However, losing a workplace outside of the home can have a detrimental effect on our health. One of the biggest problems of working from home is inactivity.

Excessive sitting can affect your metabolism, increase blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol and lead to weight gain. Remaining in one posture for hours at a time can also affect the muscles in your back, neck, hip flexors, hamstrings and calves.
