Jack Black – Leadership Development – Personal Effectiveness

I recently received an inspiring message from a MindStore member on Facebook. Hazel Markou was introduced to MindStore through a friend and after attending a course in London she has been using her toolset to help with all aspects of her life including a return to education, study and passing important examinations. Something she has not done for many years.

I was so inspired by Hazels message and the progress she has made that I set up a call with her. I have recorded our conversation to share with you.

MindStore Works, it worked for Hazel and it can work for you too! Our next open course The Best of MindStore takes place in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Saturday 3 March for more information and booking details CLICK HERE

Mark was walking around the west end of Glasgow after a morning of hard training and happened upon a MindStore Book in a Charity Shop. “This synchronicity may have been the biggest turning point in my approach to life” Mark said. 

He then attended 2 of the MindStore course’s in the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and used his MindStore techniques to programme his career. He has since went on to represent Great Britain at both the World and European Championships and is currently a professional skater on the hit TV Series Dancing on Ice.

Mark is competing again this Sunday on this prime time TV show. Maybe we could all spread the word through our networks and friendships and give a fellow MindStore member not only our vote but keep our three fingers together for him.

MindStore works, it can work for you, those you care about and work with too. The New Course provides the very best and ground breaking techniques for manifesting and improving life.  Indeed it is unlikely you will find so many practical  tools that are easy to learn and at the forefront of Personal Development over one single day.

Jack will present The Best of MindStore in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Saturday 3 March.  Discounts are available for Members, Students and Groups. CLICK HERE to book on today.

You can vote for Mark during Sunday Nights Show on ITV1 at 6.45pm. You can also follow Mark on Twitter at @Mark_Hanretty

The other day I was having a chat with Alan Brodie who is the MindStore Associate for Scotland. He was sharing some of his experiences from recently teaching his first few MindStore courses. During one of his sessions, a guy in the audience challenged him by pointing out how he enjoyed being grumpy and having a good moan. It got me to think about it in the context of this season of giving and it stimulated a couple of my recent tweets into the bargain.

You and I give of ourselves every day, our demeanour, our attitudes, the words we use and all the conversations we engage in all impact those involved. A “Good Moan” not only lowers the vibration of the person being grumpy, it does so to the folks in range. Not just through the use of words and content but since thoughts are things, a positive or negative thought field will also have its influence on those around us. You and I know only too well the impact on ourselves of being in the presence of an optimistic, positive and upbeat individual. Likewise, being in the company of the grumpy moaner soon impacts your own energy, drive and outlook.

With MindStore we can choose to be alert to such events and can immediately pull down the “bell jar”, or find a valid excuse to move away from the source of the imbalance. They do say that the real joy of this season is in the giving and not the receiving. Being aware of what you are giving day by day through your presence and purposefully lifting the quality of your consciousness is obviously the best gift you can give.

So does your presence lift and encourage those you come into contact with? Do you create a climate of possibilities and solutions? “Being a problem” or “creating problems” even by just lowering the vibration is hardly a gift others will be grateful for. “As we give so we shall receive” comes to mind. It seems too, that we attract folks of similar resonance, so it would seem that by choosing the higher course by deciding to be positive, to look to find solutions rather than create “problems”, we create the conditions for all involved to thrive and live each moment in a better place than they otherwise would have.

If you have recently attended a MindStore course then you can focus each day through bringing one or all of your five features from your “window” into your thoughts. You can also use your slate in the shower and of course “delete that programme” and your “bell jar”.

In this season of giving you can consider giving the gift of MindStore simply by setting an example or by gifting The Best of MindStore Course, a book or a download.

In acknowledgement of this season of goodness and grace we too will be giving. Each Wednesday from now until 21 December, we will give one of you the gift of MindStore.

This Blog post is intended to assist those who attended MindStore courses in London and Johannesburg over the past couple of weekends.

All courses across our entire portfolio will revert to the new/old material from now on.

I trust you are all settling into your “New Home” and have been having fun and getting fantastic results with your visits. I have been delighted with the feedback and truly inspired by the exceptional stories that have come in since Saturday. As promised here is a blog to remind you of some of the key features plus some additional pointers.

Firstly I would like to impress on you that the greatest gift provided on Saturday was the “Alpha State” or as we have previously called it “Foundation”. This provides us with the means to tune to the rhythm and resonance of the “universal wavelength” for the laws of attraction and manifestation. The process, it’s procedures and discipline allow you the time required to relax into the rhythm and stabilise your connection.

So each day find the position, do the breathing followed by the full head to toe relaxation. Head for your “beach” then onto the bank of the river. Remind yourself of the lush green grass, the blue sky and the construction of your “House With The Red Roof.” Enjoy a drink of crystal clear water from the well as you prepare to step inside your entrance. Remind yourself of the shape of this space, the height of the ceiling, decorative features, lighting and colours. Focus on your 5 values cast before you on the floor selecting one for contemplation. List your 3 “hassles” then enjoy your shower before wiping the slate clean. The house is then open up to you with all its wonder and potential.

Every time you access your new home take the time to meet with your coaches whether directly in “The Den” or elsewhere. Invest in this imaginary tool to build a relationship with that part of you that resonates at a higher level or put another way your intuitive self. Remember you may have the feeling that you are just making this up but that in effect is the point. Make believe at this level of awareness accesses the intuitive faculty of the right brain. As time goes by getting to know each other over leisurely conversations or more directly through sharing in the use of the Media Room is absolutely fantastic. Insights, better problem solving and breakthroughs all result in engaging with this fascinating inner work. Many of you have already fed back how this is becoming much more intuitive and how you have already improved in all manner of ways.

Media Room Tips

For creative “problem (”delete that programme” )…challenge solving” follow this procedure:

Admit and accept your current reality by projecting the image and content of the challenge on the central screen – move to the past (right) screen to study and analyse the challenge, ask yourself who’s involved, what’s involved, where and when does it happen and so on. Then make the screen go blank, come back to the present screen and consider your current reality once more before also making that screen blank too. Now move your eyes to the left and on your future screen (screen 3) explore various alternatives. You will find that in the Alpha State your combined creativity and intuition will begin to come up with possibilities you would otherwise not have considered. You can play forward each solution on the screen till you find the one you feel is the best solution. Create then a scene of the solution being realised, pay attention to what you would expect to see hear and feel. Finally freeze and frame the final “photograph” in brilliant white light. With all your programmed outcomes on the future screen you commit to regularly review it until it is actually manifested in real life. Mohamed Ali called this image a “Future History”.

Now once this is established you move to the 4th screen the consequences screen to consider the benefits for others when your Future History is achieved. The same process is used with each of your 7 key goals and indeed any other goals or programmes you wish to have in your life. Remember too, critically when you go back to review your Future History on your 3rd screen you never ever consider the present or past screen. You are now a futurist and are committed to bring the solution or goal into being by constantly reviewing in The Alpha State screens 3 and 4 only.

Parking cars, finding the best table in a restaurant or seats at the theatre and endless other outcomes can be programmed quickly and purposefully by simply putting your Tip Of The Tongue Trigger in place together with the Kubera Mudra and immediately flashing the 3rd screen into your minds eye and seeing the result you want, a quick glance at the 4th screen will complete the process. Simply open your eyes and go about our business with the desire, belief and expectation that you will succeed.

On every visit to your new home make the commitment to work on your own personal development by engaging with your inner coaches. You can of course meet them in “The Den” though you can choose to maintain your inner relationship at any location. I always involve them in considering my options on the screens in The Media Room and I find it particularly wonderful when they assist me in my study of the images on the walls in my Central Hallway. Clearly there are many other rooms and indeed locations on the landscape where you can enjoy their company too but that is all for another time.

The Energising Beam. You can use this very special tool at any time you feel the need for additional energy or even to take away a headache before it becomes established and intense. Always use it as you leave the house when you have just programmed an important meeting or event in the Media Room or ran a rehearsal in the Theatre of Possibilities.

To use it first consider the 3 general opportunities that are currently on your mind (raising your intention in the Alpha State to focus on opportunities charges the magnetic like characteristic of your mind and causes you to attract into your reality whatever you require to achieve them) then step onto the platform imagine turning on its power and immediately feel a vibrating and vibrant beam of energy rising up from the floor below into every cell of your body. I actually slowly stand up before turning it on and literally shake with the imaginary force deciding and demanding to be charged by its abundant vitality and health. Then turn it off and step away to take a look up at your stained glass window, remind yourself of your core values and leave the house enjoying another drink of crystal clear and refreshing spring water. Look towards the river bank and step forwards as you count from 1-7 and over to the Left Bank where you take action and go about your business.

That’s more than enough for now, stay connected via email or the social networks. I will also provide you with more tools and techniques on a conference call that you can participate on within a couple of weeks time. Do please send me stories of using your new tools and techniques and if you can give me permission to post them with or without your details you will be encouraging others and as the universe seems to operate the intention to assist will come back to you multiplied.

We have now decided to present this course in Glasgow on Saturday 3 March 2012 and are considering Dublin too. Remember if you are interested in how MindStore and all our programmes and solutions can assist you at work or in our business please get in touch. In the meantime enjoy and remember

“It Only Works”

The Best of MindStore, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall Saturday 3 March 2010

CLICK HERE to book and take advantage of Early Bird Discounts.

I heard today from a MindStore member who came across her old course notes from way back in 2001. She got in touch because so many of the goals identified back then had been achieved; however there were some strange results too and she wanted to share them with me.  What she told me is actually very, very common but worth being aware of.  She had stumbled across them and   on having a look again noticed that some of the goals written down during the course, ones largely forgotten about, had come into being.  I’ve had this feedback time and time again and it is only when the old work sheets are opened up years later that this is discovered.  We know that Night Books work and programming the Top Seven of course does too; however the phenomenon of the other goals showing up as well intrigues and begs a number of questions.

If you will remember we worked our way through a process during the course.  Among other things, I do all I can to build you up to identify an initial 30 goals.  It comes after explaining the left and right brain approaches to goal setting.  It also comes after me urging you to suspend the need for your left brain’s question of “HOW” you are going to achieve your goals.  Rather as you may remember in MindStore we focus on the “WHY”.  Just before turning on the music I point out how few people ever in an entire lifetime take the time to do this and even we only do it for 11 minutes.

Clearly something special happens collectively in that 11 minute period.  Having aroused the desire,   belief and probably the expectation, hundreds of folks are having a go at identifying the goals at exactly the same time.  What happens is everyone gets into a flow of consciousness and ideas inevitably come into their awareness that otherwise probably would never surface.  Trusting the process, they write them down on the work sheet.  It’s believed by many in this field that with the power of intention we probably place an imprint into the universe and with “programming” even just that once the universe gets to work to bring it all together in its own time and place sometime in the future.

Another fanciful viewpoint is that for some reason probably due to the collective intention we tune into the future as if we get a glimpse through some kind of portal and we process what we witness as an idea for a goal that comes into our awareness and then it’s written down.  Conjecture is that it’s already a reality in some dimension and it’s only a matter of time before we catch up. Or of course it’s all just a wonderful coincidence.
In the process, usually the next day, we work the 30 goals down to just 7 and then they are programmed with the four screens, though years ago were just as successful with three screens.  The goals are also written up in Night Books by real enthusiasts and they get to work on programming them by constantly going “Back to the future” in the Alpha State.  Yet so often for countless folks the goals that were thought about for a matter of seconds and written down once in the work sheet of 30, manifest anyway.  As I say this is very, very common.

Today though, my caller also pointed out that some of the specific content covering a number of her goals actually manifested though not as originally programmed.  Without going into her personal details she found specific bits of some came into reality but in a different context but still benefited her.
It’s clear though that given how common this is that something does seem to happen during that extraordinary 11 minutes.  “It’s frightening” she said “that they have come about all these years later and I hadn’t really thought about them again.”

There is definitely real power in the MindStore process and certainly something very special happens during the intensity of the 11 minutes.  It would be well worth you taking the time to look out past work sheets and see what’s happened for yourself.

There seem to be three outcomes from participating:
1. You end up with clarity on particular goals that you can commit to.  You then programme them on your screens and with repetition and the use of the wider tools and techniques the goals are achieved.
2. You think about other goals more or less just once as a result of doing the exercise.  They don’t make your top seven, you get on with your life and low and behold sometime in the future they become a reality too.
3. You create detail in components of goals that somehow or other get cross wired with others and even with not thinking about them again they also show up in the future though not in their original context but still to your advantage.

 My joy is that for hundreds of thousands of people, programming works whether by simply using the tip of the tongue trigger to find a parking space or to achieve big and life changing outcomes through the use of the screens and or Night Books.
What is important though is to actually be there and participate during those 11 minutes with the intention of identifying those initial 30 goals you desire in your life.

Programming works, “It only works” so what are you waiting on – programme the parking space, reaffirm your Top Seven, get the screens going. It’s the start of the summer- go for it, indeed all of it.

Jack Black will be present a very special MindStore Business Course in Glasgow on 14 June, Galway on 16 June and in Dublin on 17 June. To find out more visit: http://www.mindstore.com
