Jack Black – Leadership Development – Personal Effectiveness

We’ve had some really enthusiastic input recently with old members asking for clarity on the use of some of the basic MindStore Techniques.  It seems to make sense to copy everyone in on the answers and to this end I propose to send you basic technique reminders from time to time over the summer.

I know that many of you “get the time” to revisit our material and start to practice again while lounging in the sun, particularly on holiday. I know I do with the more advanced stuff, and it’s a great time for experimenting. I trust this will be helpful and will inspire you to “think” about things from a better perspective.

“The Real Secret”, The Core of MindStore

While we have all kinds of wonderful techniques, and even quite amazing advanced stuff, the real magic to all of it is the Alpha State.  Think for a moment just how cool it is to be able to access it.  First to get there, you have to go through a process that dissipates your stress both physically and mentally. Second it gives you access to your right brain so immediately you have the benefit of being able to utilise your imagination, and controlled imagine in alpha is in fact intuition. This means better problem solving abilities, since you can really use both your left and right brain. Creativity is ripe there too, and of course the wonder of programming not to mention enhanced mental rehearsal and time shifting “back to the future” capabilities.

Whether you step onto the Right Bank and into your House with the Red Roof, or kick your feet in the sand at your beach on The Island, or pick up a Balloon from the quantum field, your ability to claim ownership of your life’s direction is yours to have and to expand.

So, find a comfortable position, place your feet on the ground, about shoulder width apart, knees over ankles, shoulders over hips, ears over shoulders, hands resting on your lap and thumb and first two fingers of both hands coming together.

Place the tip of the tongue behind your front two teeth and touch the roof of your mouth or on the curve of the palette.

Now take a big deep breath and as you exhale relax, take another deep breath and again relax, and take one more deep breath and as you exhale relax even more… (Alternatively use the 3×8 breathing cycle method) then breathe normally, lock onto peripheral sound and relax from head to toes or enjoy the “inner smile”.

Head off to a place you associate with relaxation, (I tend to use a beach that I know on the island of Nevis in the Caribbean).  After 30 seconds or so, focus your mind on whatever needs your attention.

“It only works”
