meditation music The Second Chakra – The Sacral Chakra

Meditation music is music performed to aid in the practice of meditation. It can have a specific religious content, but also more recently has been associated with modern composers who use meditation techniques in their process of composition, or who compose such music with no particular religious group as a focus.

About three inches (8 cm) below the navel, around the pubic bone is the area where the Sacral Chakra can be found. The name of this Chakra in ancient Sanskrit is Swadisthana and in many circles it is still referred to by this name. This Chakra, as all of the main Chakras except for the root and the crown has an energy vortex which allows energy to flow in and out of the body at the front and also to a lesser degree out of the back.

Joy is the principle message of this Chakra, the joy of living and the joy of life itself.

This Chakra stimulates physical pleasure in all forms but is especially good for the opening of the sexual centers and balancing sexual energy. It can provide a way to unify opposites, this is especially notable when it comes to sexual unity.

This sacral Chakra will generate a desire for unity between partners, and a general unity of opposite forces. It also represents an opening and a conquest of ones own sexual energy and physical pleasure.

Trust, patience and wisdom are all qualities that are brought out by activation of this Chakra.

If the Sacral Chakra becomes blocked or better said, starts to spin slower than it should, then fear, impotence or frigidity and a general emotional instability can be experienced. Some of the bodily symptoms that can manifest might be prostate problems, bladder and kidney issues and also problems with the sexual organs.

The color for this Chakra is orange and the element associated with it is water. It gem stone is carnelian and the metal its copper. The use of carnelian with the sacral Chakra will aid you in coping with exhaustion and depression as its main properties are the stimulation of activity. Just having contact with this stone or even simply having it within your aura can give you a great feeling of confidence and of self security, of serenity and balance. It is therefore often used in conjunction with treatments for all kinds of nervous complaints, liver disorders, arthritis and diabetes. This stone can distract one from negative vibrations which might be affecting us.

With the Sacral Chakra in balance patience, self confidence and resistance to negative influences all become prevalent. When the Chakra is out of balance however then the opposite can be true with anxiety and fear surfacing along with an inability to feel emotions and sexual disfunction.

Balancing of this Chakra can be done by meditation. Using meditation music in the Key of D is ideal. Picture a ball of light, bright orange light around the area of the Chakra. See a 6 petalled orange lotus flower, gently opening as it slowly rotates. This lotus flower with its 6 petals is a representation of the Sanskrit Mandala for the chakra. There are images of the Sanskrit Mandala for this chakra on my website and also on the cover of my Healing Chakras CD.

Brainwave Entrainment Anger – Friend Or Foe?

Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

What is your immediate bodily response to even reading the word ‘anger’?

Your thoughts and feelings about it stem from your own personal experiences of anger, plus what you have heard or read about it too.

We see anger exist in a wide spectrum of behaviors, from an irritated person’s foot/finger-tapping – right through to violent and destructive rage where people and/or property gets damaged.

We see television coverage of civil unrest and violent struggles for democracy; the outrage at exploitation of the vulnerable – children, the elderly, the sick, and animals; the threat to our livelihoods caused by Government changes in policy – which we then also feel impotent to effectively challenge, and this fuels our anger even further.

We can become ‘de-sensitised’ to all of the anger we witness – but we are still emotionally and psychologically affected by it. Perhaps it triggers memories of an angry household that we grew up in, or what we experienced of anger in school; or of a ‘rage’ incident we have been a part of; or of gang violence; or the violent public disorders seen over the decades of our lives.

We may have been ‘conditioned’ in childhood not to allow ourselves to feel, let alone to express, anger. Instead it festers within us affecting our physical and emotional/psychological health. We may have had to develop a ‘mask’ to wear – instead of being authentic and showing our real emotions. Alternatively we may have learned to scare people with our anger – to get out own way.

Anger CAN be a good thing! It can energise up to protect our personal and family boundaries, to keep ourself, and those we care about, safe from harm. It can give us the courage to challenge threats to our integrity and well-being. In this respect anger is a helpful emotion.

Anger can also cover and hide deeper sadness, sorrow and despair that we won’t allow ourself to feel, because we fear it will be too overwhelming. Instead we show the world our angry and aggressive self who’s deeper purpose is to protect our own vulnerability from further pain.

Some people will evoke and invite an angry response from others – and then ‘pretend’ that they have no idea why people react to them with hostility. These are the people that are always late; forgetful; play the ‘victim that no-one can rescue’; create disharmony with their malicious gossip etc. They create anger around them but don’t accept responsibility for doing so.

If we are afraid or ashamed of our own anger we will probably stuff it down or ‘divert’ or ‘displace’ it into certain behaviors. These behaviors can range from some forms of self-harm to lashing out at inanimate objects. If we don’t learn how to express our anger in a healthy way we store it up and it can instead flood out as if a dam has burst – usually in a situation that doesn’t warrant anything like the level of anger we are showing.

When we are angry, or furious, we cannot think clearly, we cannot express ourself clearly or effectively – we will probably be shouting as an attempt to gain the upper-hand; and we look aggressive and threatening to others – which in turn activates something in them – based upon their own history and relationship with anger, and what it has led to in their own past.

We often ‘re-play’ in our mind angry scenarios and think about what we wished we’d said and done – which can then further increase feelings of frustration and disappointment in ourselves.

A healthier scenario is to develop the calm assertive language of the Sensible Adult in you – and express your level of anger at the right person, in the right way and at the right time.

We need to learn how to understand and control our emotions, and then to choose to respond to a situation assertively rather than just emotionally reacting to things around us like an angry child would.

Bear in mind that every thought you have affects every cell in your body – and that we can become ‘addicted’ to the frequent cascade of chemicals within our bodies which result from our frequent thoughts, and the situations we attract to ourselves. A negative loop begins – made worse by the ‘negative filter’ we then create which ensures that we then perceive new events with the contamination of our old experiences. We all literally ‘project’ our meaning onto an event or person and react/behave ‘as-if’ it were the truth! Self-fulfilling prophesies do exist!

Our emotions affect those around us and in turn we are affected by those people that we are around – it’s called Emotional Contagion. You have to decide who you want to spend time with and the extent to which they enhance your sense of well-being – or not.

Psycho-emotional education can help you to understand and change to your Anger, and the part it plays in your life. Brainwave entrainment and sub-conscious belief re-programming can also help with the problem of Anger.
Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain? ?requency following?response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.

This ?requency following?response of brainwave entrainment can be seen in action with those prone to epilepsy. If a strobe flashes at their seizure frequency, the brain will ?ntrain?to the flashing light, resulting in a seizure.

On the positive side, this same mechanism is commonly used to induce many brainwave states; such as a trance, enhanced focus, relaxation, meditation or sleep induction. The brainwave entrainment effectively pushes the entire brain into a certain state.

Brainwave entrainment works for almost everyone. It is a great way to lead your mind into states that you might usually have difficulty reaching, allowing you to experience what those states feel like.

THE HYPE
There is a lot of marketing hype around brainwave entrainment. It is sold with promises of increasing IQ, promoting weight loss, ?ind-tripping? enhancing creativity, concentration, inducing spiritual states and more.

While these claims are not entirely true, they are not altogether false either. In practice, the claims are based on an overly-simplistic view of how the brain and the brainwaves function.
THE RUB
People are very seldom deficient in a certain brainwave type in all areas of their brain. Usually the distribution is much spottier, with an excess in one area and a deficiency in another.

We are all different, especially when it comes to the distribution of our brainwaves. Boosting a certain brainwave state may be beneficial for one person, and emotionally uncomfortable for another. Without knowing each person? starting position, entrainment can be rather ?it and miss?

If brainwave entrainment leaves you with unwanted side-effects (see below) or discomfort, you?e probably encouraging a range of brainwaves that are already excessive in some area of your brain. The way around this is to get a brain map to see what your brain? strengths and weaknesses are, and see what (if any) brainwaves could use some encouragement.

Brainwave Entrainment The Most Powerful Self Esteem Activities Use Brainwave Entrainment

When you are battling low self esteem and are looking for ways to be more confident, most recommendations involve thinking and focusing on positive thoughts in the conscious mind. However, these self esteem activities do not address the really deep-seated negative thoughts that exist in the subconscious mind. No matter how hard we try to reinforce our positive image in the conscious state, complete self confidence is not going to happen until all of the negativity is rooted out from the subconscious mind. This is where brainwave entrainment using binaural beats recordings is helpful.

Binaural beats recordings are listened to with a set of stereo headphones. Two tones of different frequencies are input into each ear. The difference in frequencies causes the brain to create a 3rd frequency in the mind. This 3rd frequency doesn’t actually exist, but the brain believes that it does.

The objective is to create a frequency differential that is in the lower relaxed and meditative brainwave states of theta (4-8 Hz) and delta (1-4 Hz). This will coax the brain into these frequency ranges and enable you to relax and open up the subconscious mind. This process of the brain assuming the same frequency as the differential is called brainwave entrainment.

Binaural beats can be constructed that will cause the brain to function in all of the various brainwave states of beta, alpha, theta, and delta. It is therefore possible to use this technology to our advantage and be able to enter the subconscious to make positive changes.

When these binaural beats recordings are embedded with positive subliminal messages, we can begin to reprogram the subconscious mind and start to get rid of the negative thoughts and feelings. This is what people who meditate are trying to do. But learning to meditate effectively takes a considerable amount of instruction and practice. In order to use binaural beats, all you have to do is put on a set of headphones and listen and let the recordings do their job. The results can be felt immediately. Of all of the recommended self esteem activities, you will find that these listening sessions will have the most immediate effect.

After a session of listening to these recordings, you will emerge will more a more positive attitude and people around you will notice the difference. It will be like taking a drug but without the possible side effects and cost. Your listening sessions can be done on a daily basis or as often as you feel necessary. Whenever you feel a slippage in your self esteem, just put on the headphones and get some relief.

It doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t continue to engage in positive self-talk during the conscious state, but you will find that these listening sessions are more powerful self esteem activities.

Brainwave Entrainment 3 Reasons You Should Try Binaural Beat Meditation Today

Have you ever wanted to try meditating with binaural beats? Many people are interested in this, although a lot never get started, perhaps because they’re afraid to try. It’s a shame when you consider all the advantages that they have to offer. This article discusses three ways how binaural meditation can improve your life for the better. Before doing that though, let’s take a very brief look at what binaural beats are, in case you’re unfamiliar with them.

What Are Binaural Beats?

Binaural beats basically involve listening to two tones through headphones. One tone enters each ear, and each of has a different frequency. The brain processes these two sounds, and produces a pulse (or beat) which repeats rapidly, at a rate that’s equal to the frequency difference between the pitches of the initial two tones. For example, if you listen to sounds with frequencies of 300 and 310 Hz, your brain will produce and ‘hear’ a sound pulsing at a frequency of 10 Hz. It is this 10 Hz beat which will influence the frequency of the brainwaves your brain is producing – this is known as brainwave entrainment, and binaural beats are the most popular and widely known type of brainwave entrainment technology.

So, now let’s take a look at three of the benefits of using binaural recordings.

Firstly, they make learning to meditate much easier than traditional methods. Some will object that meditation is difficult, and necessarily requires many years of practice before you can fully learn to quieten and focus your mind and experience its full benefits. That’s true of traditional methods, but binaural beats actually have a physical effect on the brain, and help to lead it down into a more relaxed state of consciousness in which the chatter of the mind lessens dramatically – making meditation easier.

Secondly, with a binaural recording, you can fine-tune your consciousness to a variety of different states. This is of special interest to those who are learning to meditate to experience altered states of consciousness. Thanks to their strong influence over the brain’s state, binaural beats normally make it easier to achieve a variety of different levels of relaxation and altered perceptions at will. So, if you’re interested in experiencing things like lucid dreaming or astral projection, or unlocking your psychic powers, binaural beats provide more ready access to enter the brain states that are necessary for tapping into such extrasensory phenomena.

Third, binaural beats are extremely convenient to use. Binaural recordings are normally available in CD or downloadable formats, so you can easily put them on your MP3 player and use them anywhere you want. Of course, you should always use binaural beats safely, and set aside some time specifically for their use (don’t use them while driving for example!). But this portability gives binaural recordings an advantage over those forms of meditation which require you to use physical props, or meditate in a particular setting.

So, as you can see, there are some compelling reasons to try binaural beat meditation today, especially if you want to start to explore the vast potential that your mind has to offer.

Brainwave Entrainment Can Brainwave Patterns Predict Your Success?

Brainwave entrainment is a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field. The pulses elicit the brain’s ‘frequency following’ response, encouraging the brainwaves to align to the frequency of a given beat.
entrainment definition | monaural beats
The human brain is a bundle of tissues interwoven together in an awesome manner. The brain is capable of achieving a lot when properly energized and activated. The brainwave patterns in your brain can actually predict your success when properly activated.

But come to think of it! What are these brainwaves? They are simply voltages waves in the human brain which usually arise when there is some forms of electrical activity in the brain. In most cases, brainwaves are emitted by the brain when it’s stimulated by a periodic stimulus through the use of brainwave entrainment technology.

Now, the electrical impulses or waves generated by the brain are measured with an electroencephalogram also known as EEG. It measures the frequency of the electrical current going on in the brain in terms of Hertz (Hz),

The most important aspect of these brainwave frequencies is that they can be associated with your present state of mind at any given moment. For instance, when your mind is in a relaxed state, sleepy brainwave frequencies are seen in your brain. If your mind is working on a problem, your brainwave frequencies assume a fiery position.

Meanwhile, the brainwaves showcase in four different patterns. They include:

1. Beta Waves (14Hz to 20 Hz) – these are usually associated with your normal waking consciousness. The waves are normally present when you focus is out of the present world.

2. Alpha waves – These are within the range of 8Hz to 13 Hz. They are present during meditation and day dreaming sessions. They are usually very strong when your eyes are closed as you meditate or daydream.

3. Theta waves – These are within the range of 4Hz to 7 Hz. They showcase when you’re in a very high state of creativity especially when you’re into deeper meditation state.

4. Delta waves (5Hz – 3Hz) – these are present when you’re in deep sleep or in a state of coma. They can also be present during deep meditation whereby you’re not aware of your present location.

Now, these 4 kinds of brainwave patterns can actually predict your success when they keep working in your brain and mind. When you want to succeed in creating something or harnessing ideas, you have to engage the Alpha waves.

When you want to go into a state of self discovering and awareness through a deep meditative state, the Theta waves come into action. You can easily be completely off the physical body when you’re in such a state. You’ll also feel a deeper sense of physical relaxation.

If you want to enjoy sound sleep, the delta waves have to come into play. If you’re having a case of insomnia, you need to locate a brainwave CD that focuses on delta waves in order to be free from the problem.

Indeed, brainwave patterns when properly utilized can predict your success. The more you go ahead to use brainwave entrainment CDs and programs, the easier it becomes for you to have your future predicted. There’s every need for you to repeat the processes in order to enjoy better success.

Americans love cosmetics. According to MSN.com, we spend on average $7 billion a year on beauty products. We use shampoos to make our hair seem thicker, bronzer to make us look tan and creams to help us appear to be younger. However, there’s nothing on the shelf to heal a broken heart.

February can be a difficult month for people who have recently lost a love. There is help for the broken-hearted, although this balm can’t be found at the corner drugstore. If you’re working to get over a break-up, divorce or death of a spouse/partner, dip into these three jars of balm to heal your broken heart: “Recovery Work,” “Love Celebration” and “Your Sassy Self.”

Scratchy, Scruffy Step One

Any good skin care regiment begins with exfoliating, and your jar of Recovery Work contains vital exfoliation ingredients: grief, time, self-discovery and expert advice. When we scrub our face, it can feel scratchy and uncomfortable. The same is true when we slough away old emotional scars-it can hurt, but it’s necessary to prepare ourselves for the next phase in our lives.

To begin this step, we first grieve our loss. Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross identifies the five stages of grief as denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Don’t skimp during this process or minimize your grief. In her book, “Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love,” Helen Fisher maintains that our drive to love is stronger than our sex drives. When love is over, we can feel physical pain.

Coach Amelie Chance says this physical pain may be a tight chest, nervous stomach or insomnia. It’s advisable not to discount such symptoms. If they persist, talk to your medical doctor.

Acknowledge and work through the emotional stages of denial (This can’t be happening to me), anger (I am so mad at that BLANK for dumping me, I could…), bargaining (If I could be thinner/richer/prettier/more handsome, I bet I could win her/him back) and depression (I don’t feel like doing anything, I’m so busted up over this break-up). Eventually, working through these steps lead to acceptance.

While you grieve, you’re going to run across self-discovery. It can’t be helped. In fact, it should be encouraged and celebrated! Allow yourself to learn where you made mistakes so you don’t carry the same into a new relationship. Recognize the new strength you cultivated as a caregiver for your spouse/partner. Dare to dream what your life might look like without your former lover in it.

Tools such as journaling can be used to aid in a self-discovery sojourn. Prayer or meditation-even therapy or coaching-can be helpful, too.

But don’t forget about the other ingredient here: time. Experts estimate that it takes one year to recover for every five years in a relationship. It’s important to note that we shouldn’t use a time frame for a recovery from lost love. Every individual is unique and will grieve in their own way and in their time. However, use the 1-to-5 ratio as more of a guide so you understand this work shouldn’t be rushed. Similarly, if you have been stuck in one or more of the grief stages for a very long time, you may need to seek the help of a professional to help you move on.

Once you’re at acceptance, you can apply the balm from the next jar, “Love Celebration.”

Soothing Step Two

It’s often said we cannot find love if we cannot love ourselves, and there’s a lot of truth in that, Love Celebration starts with remembering the wonderful things about you and honor those qualities by setting aside time for self care. Do an activity that brings happiness. Take a relaxing bath while listening to beautiful music. Indulge in a nap or enjoy a favorite food. Honor the time you have to yourself.

Love was not created to simply share between romantic partners. While that can be one of the most joyful aspects of being human, love reaches its fullest potential when it is shared with everyone in our life, so this holiday, give of yourself and spread the love!

The unique aspect of this recovery balm is it’s meant to be shared. We are surrounded by loving people: our family and friends. Give your time and attention to family and friends so you can express how important they are in your life. Put your “to do list” aside for the day and visit the people who are important to you, or call to tell them that you love them.

Pets add so much to our lives, so why not give extra time or do something nice for your animal companion? They wait so patiently for us, giving unconditional love and acceptance whenever we are ready, and ask for so little in return.

Take time and make your pet a special treat, take them on a long walk or just snuggle on the sofa as you remember how lucky you are to have a friend like this in your life.

Extend yourself by showing love to an animal who is waiting for its forever family. If you are able, consider adopting a shelter dog or cat. Perhaps (like me) you have a full house and that’s not possible. You might volunteer some of your time at a rescue facility to walk dogs, play with kitties or just pet the animals. The afternoon you spend may help that animal become closer to finding its guardian.

Revitalizing Step Three

After you’ve done the scruffy recovery work and celebrated the love you have in your life, treat yourself to the final balm, Your Sassy Self. This revitalizing regiment will lead to renewal in your life. It works miracles, and that’s not an empty sales pitch!

Similar to the first ingredient to the jar of Love Celebration-loving yourself-Your Sassy Self goes deeper into your essence and spirit. The key ingredients to this balm are forgiveness, spiritual connections and discovery of your gifts.

First, apply forgiveness where it’s needed, whether it would be toward a person who hurt you or to yourself for any shortcomings. The healing balm of Your Sassy Self doesn’t skimp on forgiveness because without this, it’s impossible to move forward with your life.

Forgiveness also allows you to make deeper spiritual connections, When we hold grudges, the ability to seek our Creator is warped. Forgiveness tears down those walls. We were made to be connected to a Higher Power/Creator/God-however you see this deity. When we are not communicating spiritually, there’s a void in our lives that we try to fill with the wrong things, like greed, lust, power, envy-the list goes on. Seeking a greater truth and meaning in our lives is a revitalizing journey that can fulfill like none other.

Remember that we were made with a spark of divinity and a purpose. Our Creator wants us to identify and utilize talents gifted to us, which not only leads to a full life for us, but helps to make our piece of the world better. I love St. Peter’s message that everyone has at least one gift and that we are to use those to serve others. Gifts (talents) are what make you light up; these are your passions. Do you like to share knowledge or administer to the lost? Then teach! Do you feel a strong compassion for the ill? Then treat them! If you are comfortable being a leader, then manage. Apply Your Sassy Self liberally and watch the renewal happen in your life.

Recovery from a broken heart doesn’t happen overnight. There’s no magic pill. But if you are willing to do the recovery work, take the risk to love others and give of yourself, as well as seek deeper truths in a spiritual quest, your heart will not only heal, but it will overflow with grace and love.

Brainwave Entrainment and binaural frequency harmonics are the wave of the future and they will create a means of reaching any desired state of mind in mere minutes, not hours! Science has reached an important new stage of human development whereby Psychology and Sound Engineering have produced a revolutionary new method of controlling human thought, emotion and existence.

Whether you are lazy, inexperienced or just plain busy everyone and anyone can reap the benefits of brainwave entrainment. Intrigued? Then read on to learn more about what brainwave entrainment and binaural frequency harmonics are and how they can drastically improve your life!

So just what exactly is brainwave entrainment? Also called binaural frequency harmonics, it is the process whereby sound is used to elicit specific frequencies and states of mind in the human brain. Different states of mind such as sleep, relaxation, euphoria and meditation are created through the brain’s production and maintenance of frequencies within the mind, or brainwaves. In fact there is a direct relation between any given brainwave and state of mind the brain is in.

There are unique brainwave patterns for meditation, relaxation, sleep and dreaming as well as lesser known or achieved states that allow individuals to achieve astral projection, remote viewing, past life regression, ESP and hypnosis. Practitioners of meditation and hypnosis spend years perfecting and utilizing these states for power over their own mind and body as well as those of others. However with the science of brainwave entrainment one can bypass years of mental practice and achieve these same states in as little as 5-10 minutes!

Brainwave entrainment works to generate altered states of consciousness through something called “binaural beats”. Two different frequencies are played to the right and left ears respectively through stereo headphones. The interaction between these two tones within the brain creates a third tone, the difference between the two frequencies. This third tone is the “binaural beat”. The mind’s tendency to produce this third frequency based upon the stimulii of the two previous tones is a phenomena known as the “frequency following effect.”

A binaural beat audio file is a scientifically designed interaction of oscillating tones and is not to be confused with music. Binaural beats may come off sounding like a musical composition but this is incidental. However don’t let this deter you, as I myself find binaural beat audio to be an utterly delightful auditory experience! Imagine the “Sound of the Sirens” from The Odyssey… that is my impression of what I’m hearing. But more importantly, the sounds do lull you into an altered state which for me occurred in about 5-7 minutes with effects strengthening the longer I listened.

The human mind is not easy to control. There are times when we can focus on the task at hand to such a degree that the rest of the world simply melts away. Then there are those moments when the mind goes in a million different directions at once, contrary to our best intentions of focus. Of course, there are also instances when the only thing our mind will focus on is the opposite of what we want to be thinking about!

With NLP training, we can learn to focus when we really need to, when the stakes are high.

First off, let’s highlight a few types of distractions that keep us from concentrating, so we can learn what to avoid. There are two categories of distractions: Internal and External.

Internal Distractions:

* Focusing on the past or the future, as opposed to being present in the moment and making the best out of each situation.
* Negative Self Talk. A few well-timed negative words can be just the thing to get our minds firing off track in a non-productive direction.
* Tiredness.
* Emotional states like fear and anxiety distract our minds and keep us from reaching or goals.

External Distractions:

* Visual Interference (people traffic in your environment, opening doors, bright colors, etc.).
* Audio Interference (music, people talking near you, sounds of traffic, ringing cellphones, etc.).
* Kinesthetic problems like temperature changes, uncomfortable clothing or seating.
* Receiving negative feedback from others.

Many people can focus their peak concentration on a specified goal, but then once that goal is achieved, all concentration goes out the window. How can we achieve sustained mental energy? A large part of this is actually preparation. For instance, when I am preparing for an important event, I start mentally and physically days before hand. I pay special attention to sleeping well, eating a healthy diet, and exercising. The morning of the event, I like to get up early and do meditation and visualization exercises to put my mind a good place.

Apart from these common sense practices, NLP Master Practitioner can help you learn powerful concentration techniques and design an individualized training regime. Some techniques include:

* Removing limits created in the past (NLP Master Practitioner).
* Changing negative self talk into positive self talk (NLP Practitioner + NLP Master Practitioner training).
* Setting anchors on yourself (touch, a word etc), or the capability to step in to a spatial anchor (NLP Practitioner).
* Stepping in to the right perceptual position or new behavior generator (NLP Practitioner).
* Using Visualization Techniques (even a simple STOP sign)
* ‘Switching On’ with TOTE Strategies (NLP Practitioner).
* Model yourself on someone whose excellence you admire (NLP Master Practitioner).
* Practicing being in up-time and in the present (NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner).
* Sub-modalities (NLP Practitioner).
* Stepping in to the future outcome (NLP Master Practitioner).
* Parts integration (NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner).
* Core work (NLP Master Practitioner).
