Do The Law Of Attraction, The Secret & Self Help Actually Work?

Hi there,

 How you doing?

 It's a blowy Saturday morning and I'm sitting outside the school where Luke's at his usual violin lesson. Every week he goes to class, gets instruction from an experience teacher who's good at what she does, and he learns and improves his skills and he's really coming on. Which is kind of what I want to talk to you about.

 See I've been into personal development and self help for 25 years - I started with a wee correspondence course on confident psychology, then started reading positive mental attitude books before going onto audio tapes by Zig Ziglar, then NLP, Tony Robbins - all the usual gurus. I've studied and been certified with 3 different NLP training companies at practitioner, master practitioner and even nlp trainer. I went to Hawaii 5 times to study Huna and western high magic. I've used goal setting, law of attraction, time management, visualisation, you name it. And I've earned a good living as a master hypnotherapist and NLP trainer, running courses and working with over 2000 private clients.

 But here's the thing - I've met loads of people who have read all the books, listened to all the CDs, they say they applied all the principles, and it hasn't made a blind bit of difference. They're still ill, or broke, or divorced, or scared, or phobics, and they say personal development is nonsense.

 See if there are the 4 levels of life - the spiritual the mental the emotional and the physical, my theory is that everyone wants change in the physical world - money, lovers, houses, cars, things. Mental is nice, spiritual can be profound, emotional makes you feel better but my belief is that people want tangible 3d proof.

 So I'd like to hear from you in particular - if you're a fan of personal development, if you're a seminar junkie like me, has it made a difference? Did it work? Did the law of attraction being you what you wanted? Did the money and wealth courses make you money? Were there real, tangible improvements in the world of physical? Or did it just give you a warm fuzzy feeling?

 Leave your comments below and I'll reposed to the personally.

And if you haven't read my report called "If NLP and coaching are so hot where's my range rover?"  yet,the link is RIGHT HERE

What kinds of feelings do you want more of?

You’ve probably heard of Ivan Pavlov – you know the guy who rang a bell and the dogs salivated?  Cos they were hungry?  He’d show them some meat and while they were gagging for it he’d ring a bell.  Eventually he could just ring the bell and have no meat present, and the dogs would salivate.  Yeah?  (It was actually a tuning fork but let’s not be picky).  That was an anchor – the bell became the anchor. 

At school the bell was an anchor. t was either time for you to get back in there and into your class, or it was time for you to get out of there and get home as quickly as possible.  Or maybe you were late, and the bell became an anchor for how little time you’ve got to get down the road and into school.  Remember this stuff?

     We can all think of things that act as triggers in our lives- that whenever they happen they fire off certain states.  Maybe a song that you hear that puts you into a sad state, cos last time you heard that song you were in a sad state, and the two became neurologically linked.  Or maybe there’s a particular smell (and the perfume industry knows this one) that whenever you smell it you go into a nice, pleasant state.

     These are anchors – triggers that are hard wired into your neurology, so you have no conscious control when they’re fired off – you’ll go into that state automatically.  Imagine that!  Now if it’s a nice state than we’ll leave it alone, but if it’s a negative one, there are ways to collapse the anchor, or neutralise it, so it doesn’t control you anymore. We show you how to do that, which means no longer are you one of Pavlov’s dogs – you’re no longer a conditioned animal, you actually have a choice about it & you can choose not to react.

     In my history there was a village that I’d drive through, and every time I did I went into a negative state, because of what I associated to that place, even though those events happened 20 years ago!  Wouldn’t it be great to be able to cancel it out so it doesn’t affect you?  You can probably think of some triggers like that, yes?  Songs or pictures or things that maybe flash into your head….

     Equally it’s very useful to be able to set positive anchors.  Maybe you’d like to be more excited more often, or more driven more often.  Imagine if you could basically have that state “on tap” and anytime you wanted to feel that way you could fire it off, and you’d go into that state.  That then begs the question – what kinds of emotional states would you like to feel more often?  Because we can show you how to anchor them into yourself so you can go into those feelings anytime you want to.

Here’s how you can do this

     The way I do this is, I give you the entire course up-front on audio CD.  So, you can listen to that at your own pace before you come on the training-course.  That’s actually your apprenticeship.  You know, you listen to the CDs at your own leisure and you can learn what you want to learn, read the manual, get your head around the concepts, re-listen to it as many times as you want.  So, by the time you actually come to the course, your conscious mind’s like a formatted disc, it’s got the basic ground-rules all laid down.

     What’s going to happen now is that you’re going to spend the 8 days actually doing the stuff and being taken through it by myself and by HGE™ Practitioners and Master Practitioners who already use these methods.  So, your conscious mind is fully prepared, and your unconscious mind can then just learn like a learning-machine. 

  You will be really surprised how well you’ll pick it up, because on some level you’ve already heard it before.  It also deepens your knowledge, because you can leave the course and re-listen to the CD set, which, as you probably know, the more often you hear the deeper it sticks.  It means you also have a permanent reference library, you can always go back if you want to brush up on re-framing for instance, or something else.  You can dig the discs out again and listen to them, just to keep your skills up. 

If this has piqued your curiosity – give me a call or email me and we can have a chat first.

So this is Jonathan Clark.  Thanks for watching the video, take care, bye!

Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life - Jonathan Clark NLP Scotland Based Courses

HELLO there.  You maybe know me, maybe you don’t yet.  My name’s Jonathan Clark and I’ve taught the majority of the active & successful NLP Practitioners in Scotland. 

This is a private – by invitation only – offer to people who are serious about their personal growth.  If you are ready to grow and evolve yourself meaningfully, we invite you to come and spend 8 days with us…

  I want to introduce you to a whole new mindset, a technology, a toolkit full of tools for every occasion, drawn from years of real world application and experience using state of the art psychology such as Neuro Linguistic programming and Hypnosis, as well as the secrets and advanced methodologies employed by Life Coaches and spiritual advisers alike. 

  Now I’m not a psychiatrist or psychologist – but I have spent 25 years in personal development helping people improve their lives – I’ve learned and taught advanced techniques like NLP, Huna and Hypnosis. 

  For me it was always about making changes.  If you’re not happy with the results you’re creating, then change what you’re doing.  Whining and complaining won’t make it any better, and nobody’s going to come and rescue you.  The sooner you realise it’s you, the better.  It’s what you do that counts.  So initially I did private therapy – now up to 5000 hours of one to one time with real people with real problems, , and then started doing workshops to try and share this mindset with as many people as possible.  So far I’ve run 30 courses like this coming one that are 8 days long, and several that are longer!

However, in a completely unregulated industry, people can simply read a book and call themselves a Life Coach or Guru.  Oh dear.

NLP had to evolve. Hypnosis alone wasn’t enough.  Life Coaching is more than just hiring a personal trainer.  Huna was too ancient and esoteric and turned some people off.  There needed to be a comprehensive model which was simple and straightforward to use in your daily life.  After all, it’s what you do consistently, and persistently that shapes your life.  You can’t have a bath once and be clean forever.  To that effect, I want to share what I’ve found with you

     One of the first things we cover on my courses are what are called “The Presuppositions”.  Those are the things you have to presuppose – they’re suggested beliefs that are useful.  If you run them in your head you tend to find that life gets a lot easier, or you get better results, just by thinking this way.  They’re simply a suggested mindset or outlook, so if you run them in your head it will change the way you look at things.  Software for the mind.  Does that make sense?

     So, for instance one of them is “There’s no such thing as failure, there’s only feedback”.  You know that everything that you do generates an outcome.  We don’t use the word “goal” very much - we use the word “outcome”.  Reason is you don’t always get your goal, but you always get an outcome.  May not be the outcome you want, but you still create an outcome.  Now, if you take that outcome as feedback then it’ll either be taking you towards what you want, or away from what you don’t want.  So imagine a plane wants to fly from Glasgow Prestwick to Stansted, yeah?  It knows its outcome and it takes off and it flies off in that direction.  Now if it checks its computer to find out where it is, and discovers it’s halfway over Iceland, then it’s generated an outcome!  Right?  Not the outcome it wanted but it is still an outcome.  

                                            

     Now, if you take that as feedback, it tells you what to do next.  It tells you where you need to go – you need to turn the plane around and go in the other direction!   Take that as feedback – it’s not failure.  You’ve actually learned something and generated an outcome.  Now, if you operate from that basis it makes life a hell of a lot easier, you don’t have to beat yourself up about “Oh I’m so bad at what I do”, you know, it’s “You generated an outcome” and take it that way.  That kind-of implies forgiveness.  It implies forgiveness for yourself, as well as for everyone else.  You know, other people don’t necessarily fail at things, they also generate outcomes and they can also take that as feedback.

     Think about it, imagine if just that one principle became something you filtered your life through – you looked through those kinds of glasses from time to time.  That would probably make quite a difference in the way you think, the way you behave.  Now, there are over a dozen presuppositions, and this course really is not just a bunch of techniques, it’s an entire mindset, an attitude, a way of looking at things.  You know the difference between a Practitioner and someone who just “does positive thinking” is, a Practitioner treats these presuppositions as a Code of Conduct, at least that’s what I think.

     Just imagine how life would be if you started to adopt just one of these dozen or more useful beliefs – we cover all of them, in detail, one at a time, and we help you to integrate and breathe life into them in your own mind.

  This is your chance to come play with these methods – I say “play” because they are so simple, and so much fun to use, you might think you’re not making serious changes, and you’d be mistaken.  You see, that’s what makes it work.  If you’re enjoying using the techniques, then by definition you’re engaging the unconscious mind, and that’s the secret to making any change right there…

You can do in 8 days what most others take weeks to do, and you’re saving at least £500 compared to other providers.  We’ll coach you after the course, and invite you to come back and repeat at our cost.  And if you’re not entirely blown away by all of this, we’ll give you your money back.

If this has piqued your curiousity – give me a call or email me and we can have a chat first.

NLP training [RESULTS] need some help?

Hope you're enjoying your weekend!  I have.  Spent 2 days eating good food and watching good movies with the family.  Managed to break my workaholic habit :-)

It's funny how people think change takes time.

I've been asked to prove that brief therapy techniques like NLP and EFT can actually change people in minutes not years.

Lets me demonstrate the same tools that Tony Robbins and Paul McKenna use live on stage.

Imagine you discover that your unconscious programming is keeping you stuck.  Or you keep self sabotaging yourself, and you wish you crack it and become more successful.  What if you really could change all of that overnight?

Well you can, and here's the proof:

Some very cool shifts happening there.

Enjoy the training and the week ahead.

Jonathan

P.S. There's still time to take part on our next course - starts Saturday 13th December.

NLP Practitioner Training Courses In Glasgow - What Others Have Said

If you're considering doing an NLP Practitioner Course then you must be looking to develop yourself.  Now most of my students are private individuals who want to work on themselves, not necessarily looking for Certification to become an NLP or HGE Practitioner as such.

Having worked as a therapist and Coach for over 20 years, I do resonate with other helping professionals, especially those that want to earn a living by helping people and grow a successful practice.

One of the reasons people come to me is because I am happy to teach them how to get clients and actually see a return on the investment they've just made.  So many people pay thousands of pounds every year to attend training courses, then never actually make any money from their new skills, and that's a pity.

Train with me and your life will actually get easier --  not just because you've dumped a lot of past luggage, and are running your head instead of it running you - but also because you can add 3 or 4 figures a month to your income.  Now I call that life changing money - enough to pay the mortgage, or pay a loan off, or get a new car.

You'll also hold certification in both NLP and HGE - the former internationally recognised qualification, and the latter unique to my Company and extremely few in number.  And that's because I don't believe in "Hiring in masses and training in classes".  I like smaller groups with lots of individual attention.

So you probably feel like you should be demonstrating more in life than you are, and you feel you deserve better than you're getting.  But despite all the books, cd's and seminars, you still have no idea how to make significant improvements.  if you did then you'd be doing it.

Whether its more energy, more money, better health or more free time, you goal is probably similar to most people that I attract - to make the most of the years you have left.  But you're terrified that all the naysayers might be right and all that "pop psychology" was a waste of time. [In truth a lot of it IS]

So let's end the frustration and let me teach you the tools you can use to make tangible, real fruitage in your life.

I don't want you to go through any more disappointments or longing. Come and learn what really works in the real world, so you can look forward to a life full of contribution, progress and fun. That's where I'm headed, and if you want to jump on board, now's the time.

Here's what Nicola had to say...

NLP Practitioner Course Contest August 2014

Hello there!  How would you like to win £2137 worth of personal development training?

I'm excited to tell you that on Saturday the 16th of August we launch our next NLP + HGE Practitioner Certification.  Its called Get Everything You Want, Change Anything You Don't.  

This will be my thirty-second Practitioner course, and I wanted to leave it til after the Commonwealth Games were over cos it was impossible to get a venue anywhere in the city centre - 4 weekends of my latest thinking on NLP, Hypnotherapy and personal growth.  

And you come out the other end having learned a lot about yourself, not only more confident but holding 2 certificates in your hand - one in NLP and one in HGE.  That's my trademarked version of NLP, but with all the good bits they missed out put back in again.  
Course, this might be hitting you out of the blue and you're not even thinking about doing a couse like this - that's ok, just take a look at the videos I've been putting on my blog this week from the guys and gals who've just finished my last training, and listen to the good things they have to say about it.  

We've already got folks from Scotland, England and who knows where else coming up to do the training. 

But the good news is that today I'm offering you a chance to win a seat on that life changing course - saving yourself £2137 - as my guest.  

But wait!  Don't order yet!  As they say on the infomercials.  Nah, lets just make it even juicier by having a second and third prize right?  Why not?  its my contest, so I make the rules.  Lets have 2 more prizes into the bargain:

The second prize is the whole course on audio cd, so you can learn NLP ast your own pace and refer back to it forever

The third prize is a copy of my new book Lose Weight For Scotland - a complete 90 day programme combining expert tips, sneaky professional inside secrets, and self hypnosis to get you into great shape, if you're not already.

Now what’s a good way to Inspire you to help me spread the word virally but with an “ethical bribe”- so you and a few other lovely  people will pass this message around, so I can reach more people just like you.

All you have to do to enter is answer 2 quick questions below this post:

1. Why do you want to learn NLP?
2. What you would use it for - what area of your life would you want to improve?

Then 'Like' this post, and share this post on your timeline, or retweet it.

Now, I don’t know I only 2 people will do this for me, or 100 people, but the odds of YOU winning a place on NLP Practitioner course are waaay better than winning the lottery, so you've got everything to gain, and it'll only take 30 seconds.

NOW, next Wednesday the 13th I’m going to take all the names of people who left me comments directly from the social media pages, and I’m going to put them into a hat to randomly pull out the winner of the seat on the course, as well as the home study version on cd, and the book winner.

Then I’m going to have it arranged for the winner [it could be you] to attend the 8 days of training free of charge… just for answering 2 simple questions.  Pretty easy, right?

So get typing, and get ready to see if you're the winner on Wed the 13th.  

And pack a bag - you might be in Glasgow on the 16th, two grand better off!

Take care, see you later.

The Secret That Wasn't In The Secret

Have you ever studied Spiral Dynamics?  Beck and Cohen's take on the work of Claire Graves - a model of evolution that I wrote about in my book Ignite and Unshackle [available HERE]

 The model of striving to get what you want, "If its to be its up to me!" and all of that stuff, is level 5 on the scale.  The True Silence approach that I'm talking about is actually at level 12 - 13.  So instead of spending time, money and energy on smart strategies, magic bullets, and mental tools.  There comes a time when you renounce them and go to the next level, which is actually easier...

What I'm suggesting is a NEW PARADIGM – and it's really simple [and therefore profound].   Here's the idea - nothing that man can do is of his own creation.  He’s tapping into [discovering] what’s already there.  For example the concept of Flight - it existed before we looked into it [ask the birds and the bees], but then man looked at wings, uplift and thrust, and now we have aeroplanes and helicopters.  

So I’m going to share with you some reliable principles that you can tap into.

By the way profound things are always really simple.  Want a profound life?  Simplify!

As it says in a certain good book “The harvest is rich but the labourers are few”. There's plenty to go around, but the folk who know how to tap into it are small in number.  Well, I want you increase that number by one - you!

Remember that when I was going through hell in 2010, my Coach said to me:

Everything is going to be OK

You’re safe

Things can only get better 

So now I'm saying the same to you right now - no matter how tough things are in your world, same message applies.

So let me share with you the 4 bodies in the left hand column...

Here's the secrets of manifestation and banishing stuff:

Manifestation = Spritual > Mental > Emotional > Physical

First you get the seed planted, the inspiration, the idea [S], then you dwell on it and plan it [M], then you get excited and put passion behind it [E] and eventually it becomes a tangible thing in your physical world 

The reverse is also true - to dissolve something  = Physical > Emotional > Mental > Spiritual.

First you change what you're doing, then release any negative emotions around it, dwell on what you want instead, and the old problem disappears back into the void.

Think about it - that's how computers got invented, how the internet came into being - its even how YOU and I came into being.

In the next post I'll talk more about HOW you can use this method so you can get everything you want, and change anything you don't...

NLP Scotland - Perception is projection

Kristin Zambucka said in her book “The Seed” : “Though I may travel far I will meet only what I carry with me, for every man is a mirror. We see only ourselves reflected in those around us. Their attitudes and actions are reflections of our own. The whole world and its conditions has its counterpart within us all. Turn the gaze inward. Correct yourself and your world will change.”

Go back and look at the HGE communication model

Here’s the argument. The world is my creation – even if it’s not true, you’d better believe it. Everything in the Universe is you! Your Universe is yours! There’s nothing outside of you that isn’t you. You filter everything as it comes in, but what if it works the same way on the way out? What if your body is like an overhead projector, and the light streaming out is your energy. Your model of the world is the acetate, and what shows up on the screen (your reality) is exactly what’s written on the acetate.

You’re projecting holographically in 360 degrees, all of the time! You filter 2 million bits of information per second down to 134 per second, and leave bits in that fit your map of the world. Remember that the 5 senses are just electrical interpretations in your brain. You don’t experience raw data, you experience your interpretation of the data.

So ask yourself, the people in your world – are they happy? Angry? Have money? In good relationships? Are they like you? Could it be that they are just grey silhouettes, until you look at them, when you project a hologram over them of how you expect them to look and behave. Your world is a projection of you. Quantum Physics says that reality is relative to the observer. Every person creates a unique world which can never be 100% identical to that of another. Observation changes reality – just by being present, you alter the course of event.

Evil can only exist if it exists in your mind, and only what you allow. If you feel like a victim you are probably victimising someone. If you feel like you are being manipulated, you are probably manipulating. People who act as caretakers for others may be avoiding taking care of themselves. What you see is who you are. The people in your life are a barometer of your experience of life. The significant people in your world are a reflection of your internal state

How we Construct Reality
 We create what we observe.
 We observe with our minds.
 Observations are measurements.
 Measurements transform nothing into something.
 We make measurements through our language.

A Kahuna wouldn’t do a healing if there was someone present who didn’t believe, or was there to prove it didn’t work (and if there was, that was the Kahuna’s projection). So they’d go home and work on themselves, asking “For what purpose did I create a doubter or sceptic? Where am I doubting myself?”. As inside, so outside. verything you love about your partner is you. And everything you hate about them is you also. There is a theory that e marry our Unconscious Mind and blame all our unresolved stuff on them. You can’t see something you’re not. The more energy you give it, the more you’ll find it. “Energy goes where attention flows”.

What's more, for you to perceive something in someone, it has to exist in you. Perception is projection. So it's not them, it's you. What you observe is an aspect of you. Heal it in you and it vanishes outside. You did not consciously choose to create this problem, but you may have unconsciously. And your unconscious mind has only positive intentions for you in everything that it does.

CLEANING UP YOUR PROJECTIONS
Go easy on yourself! It’s focussing you on what you want, it’s perfect!

Apply to self – where else am I doing this?
I’ve created a projection of….
Now - What do I need to learn from this, such that if I clear it, this will never happen again?
How can I prevent this from happening again?
What’s the need in you that’s unmet at the moment?
Clear any negative emotion with Higher Self Therapy, Time Line therapy, or Hakalau
GET THE LEARNING
Clear Limiting Decisions with Higher Self Therapy or Time Line Therapy
GET THE LEARNING
Do Ho’o Pono Pono
Basic Healing with the Elements

Test & Future Pace – Is it bothering me?
Dwell on the new outcome
The highest form of revenge is indifference
Let it go so you no longer “get plugged in”

What if you really could create what you want – what would you ask for? Your thoughts are law in your universe. Taneo Sands Kumelae said “The people you hate, you bind to you as much as if you loved them”. If you notice it, you’re projecting it right now. If its unresolved, it’ll keep coming back until you get the learnings.
“If you don’t pay with attention, you pay with pain”

A Little Black Bag opens up – ask yourself “What is the learning I need to get right now to let this go?”. Oh and by the way, there’s usually another set at a higher evolutionary level, so there’s always more to clear. The lesson of life is Physical Emotional Mental Spiritual. You deal with a problem on one level, but later in life it comes back, at another level. So a physical problem you had years ago may return, but this time it’s from a spiritual challenge. Something you clear may come back again on a different level. We need to keep evolving and growing in that direction.

You achieve a new state of consciousness, then stuff comes up to be handled. The next time a major issue returns, look at the opportunity – go where the resistance is
You can’t clear it out if you don’t know its there. Awareness is Progression.

Training NLP - Cause & Effect

This is where HGE excels, when we talk about the first concept of Cause vs Effect

1. RESULTS VS REASONS
One of my Master Trainers once shared this as an afterthought and I’ve been teaching it ever since, because I think its so profound.

In life, you either get the result that you want, or you can give me a whole bunch of reasons why you don’t. Another word for reasons is excuses

There Are Only 3 Reasons/Excuses

1. Negative Emotions – Anger, Sadness, Fear
2. Ineffective Behaviours – “running West looking for a sunrise”
3. Limiting Beliefs – “I can’t… I’m not…”

Now some people use this model as an excuse to be harsh, or to blame. It’s not about that. It’s about responsibility:

• “Responsibility” = the ability to respond
• It’s not about fault, or blame, or guilt
• It’s about handling it.
• What are you going to do about it?

There are certain rules we operate from in HGE. The 1st teaching of HGE is the assumption of C>E. For us to get maximum personal power we need to take maximum responsibility for everything that happens in our world. It took me a long time to “get” this.

In our culture at them moment it’s a case of “If at first you don’t succeed blame someone else, then sue the bastard!” Or in relationships your partner says “make me happy”. Wrong – only they can make themselves happy. They need to do something.
The effects that occur in our lives are our own. You either created it, manifested it or attracted it. So rather than say “I would have succeeded too if it wasn’t for ….” Ask yourself “For what purpose did I create this?” Which side are you on? Are you the cause, or are you at the effect? If a pigeon shits on my shoulder, am I responsible? Yes! I might have shat on someone this morning. For Every Effect there’s always a Cause. Is it you? And how are you going to handle it?

Why is Cause & Effect important?
C>E is the principle that for every effect, there is a cause. Everything that happens has a cause. You would be more empowered if you operated from the C side, besides it’s always nice to go to the C side (groan). When you’re at Cause you always have a choice. Moving to cause = creating more choices. A lot of people learn this then use it as a place to hide behind, so they can abdicate responsibility and blame their shit on you

If you're at the Effect end, you blame other people, circumstances, and all the external things outside, for how you feel inside. "Life's a bitch, it's not my fault, why me, it's not fair." Effect people use words like "should", "I don't know", "I'll try", "he makes me". If it’s meant to be it’ll happen – advocate all responsibility, put the cause outside self. You have no choice and can’t do anything about it. You’re choosing to accept a bunch of reasons or excuses for not having your result.

If you're at the Cause end, you accept that you create your own universe, and everything that happens you have either attracted or created unconsciously. You're honest with yourself and you accept responsibility (the ability to respond). The more responsibility you take, the more support you get from your surroundings. Empowered people use words like "I know I can do that", "I will", "I choose to". "The universe I'm in is perfect right now. However, there are some things I would change." The responsibility for change lies with the client - you simply facilitate it. You can't do it for them, and you don't do it "to" them. You simply show them how to do it for themselves.

From the book on Provocative Therapy by Frank Farrelly, I’ve borrowed Frank’s blame list. Just so you know, these are all excuses.

Blame List

BODY DESTINY FAMILY
Biology Astrology Parents
Body Type Bad Luck Brothers
Deficiencies God Sisters
Genetics Satan Children
Heredity Karma
Hormones Past Lives SOCIETY
Looks Boss
Menopause HISTORY Education
Nerves Age Law
Nutrition Childhood Politics
Origins Media
NATURE Birth Order Men
Nurturing Women
Yin MIND TV
Yang Unconscious MTV
Culture

Frank said that clients go through 4 stages with this concept:

1 Client is provoked into a series of experiences that leave him/her
Astonished
Uncertain
Even outraged

2 Client’s protests reduce and begins to realise they must change, not the therapist

3 Client affirms that therapist’s opinion of them is wrong

4 Integration – client no longer protests. Confidence and adaptability increasing.

You have to get the results for yourself. You have to take 100% responsibility & do whatever it takes to achieve them. You (the reader of this book) are responsible for getting value from this book yourself. As another one of my teachers once said “I can be your tour guide but I can’t have your holiday”

The extent to which you (the Coach) take responsibility for the client’s results is the extent to which you create codependency

A good coach will keep pointing out any C>E violations they hear

“As a coach I’ll do everything I can do – whatever it takes to facilitate your results”.

How does Cause & Effect work?
If forms the basis of all beliefs: "x causes y". It is identified by the words "make, if... .then, because, as, causes". People frequently (mistakenly) believe that "When he does _____ I feel ____". In fact, they are saying is that another person's action changes their state. Now you can't experience anything outside of your own nervous system. The truth is that no one’s actions outside of your nervous system causes you to change emotional state - you change your own state. It's not them, it's you. The other problem with this mistaken belief is that it implies that the other person can't change if they want to, and is dependent on others for how they feel. You either get the result you wanted, or reasons why you didn't. Another name for reasons is excuses. And there are only three excuses:

1 Negative emotions: you're scared, overwhelmed, sad, lonely, hurt, etc
2 Inefficient strategies: what you're doing isn't the way to do it
3 Limiting Beliefs: you don't believe you can/need to/will/deserve to

Get rid of these 3 and then there's only results. To recover the cause, use language like:

When did you decide that.....? What is it within me....? What was my intention in creating that ?
What causes it to be this way ? Is this person at cause ? How does cause you to choose to be ?
What is there to learn here ?

What if Cause & Effect is true?

Think about it – if you want a result, and you feel great about going for it, you believe you can and you deserve it, and you have a specific “how to” plan to get there, what could possibly stop you?

You would be more empowered, because you would be taking total responsibility for the results in your world. All of it. In HGE we say “the meaning of any communication is the response you get”. If you try to encourage someone but you demoralize them instead, then you communicated demoralization. Alter your approach. Being at cause does not imply fault, or blame. It implies choice. Let go of the ego, and attachment to why it isn't working. Be willing to let go of the things that aren't working, and alter your approach. It’s not about blame or fault. Those are value judgments - It’s about handling it. 100% value from this book lies with you– it’s how you use the information in this book to get results that counts. Use it or lose it.

And if you choose to be at effect then you’re still at cause

My Son Is Kicking Me Out… But You Benefit BIG STYLE!

Attention personal growth enthusiasts!
Save a small fortune on my first (and last)“The Tower Of Doom” January Sale!

Dear friend,

I need your help…

My adorable but demanding 5 year old needs our back bedroom for his expanding collection of toys, including the Tower Of Doom castle which is taller than he is! So after turning my stock room into a play room, we decided to use this as a chance to free up even more space…

That’s why you’re reading this… because you get a January Sale price on a bundle of my most popular home study programmes.

That’s right, and I do mean SALE!

I’m still working from home, but we decided that giving Luke his own playroom was a nice thing to do, and creating more space in January is good Feng Shui anyway 

So as I was humphing boxes from bedroom to attic, I thought about turning potential grumble into a positive. You see, this way of helping my boy helps a few lucky people like you…

“Make 2012 Your Best Year Yet AND Evolve Yourself Faster Than Ever Before”

I’m offering my most popular NLP and Huna Home Study programmes… at January sale prices for the first and last time ever

You can see what’s on offer at http://www.siteproweb.com/january-sale

As you can see, they’re at bargain basement prices on the site – about a 50% discount over the regular prices.

But wait [as QVC would say], to sweeten the deal you’ll also get a bonus Teleseminar series (£97 value) to help kick your year into gear. I’ll walk you through an 8 week “New Year New You” process, one week at a time. I’ve never offered this EVER before, it’s a brand new programme.

This January Clearance expires Sunday the 15th of January at midnight. The stock listed on the site is all I’ve got left, and once they’re snapped up, they’re gone.

Hurry, order yours now.

I’ve never offered so much for so little, and with this kind of pricing, I doubt I’ll have anything left by the end of the week.

That means if you’re the least bit interested in making 2012 your best year yet… now is the time. I’ll NEVER repeat this offer again!

Oh, one more thing….

You still have my full, unconditional personal guarantee for a full 30 days. That means if you don’t think you got at least 10 times the value out of your small investment… just return the goods and I’ll send you a refund.

These home study programmes will work for you… OR YOU PAY NOTHING!

Here’s that secret January Clearance website again:

http://www.siteproweb.com/january-sale

Remember this January Clearance expires Sunday the 15th of January at midnight. You have nothing to lose, and a great year ahead to gain.

Order now before your chance to snap up a bargain expires. With prices this low, I’m sure these programmes will shift. And Luke will get even more toys!

Here’s to a fab 2012,

Jonathan

P.S. That’s right, you get some of by best selling home study programmes plus the 8 week Teleseminar calls (worth £97) for January clearance prices. Because Santa delivered a roomful of stuff to Luke, you save a packet. But you’d better move fast before it’s all gone.

Training NLP Glasgow Practitioner Course - Best Offer Ever

This is Jonathan Clark – thank you for clicking the play button and watching this short video. And yes, this is a blatant bribe to get you to try my NLP and Huna Practitioner Course in Glasgow, starting Sept 24th and 25th.



Now if you know me at all, you know that I’m a huge fan of anything that makes your life easier. And I’ve spent the last 20 years hunting down life skills that get results quickly, drawn from people who already are getting great results and living the life they want to be living.

I’m about to run my twenty-eighth or thereabouts NLP Practitioner course. Now this costs me a small fortune to run, but it’s worth every penny when you see the change in people as they go through it, and I want to send you a whole bunch of stuff up front so you can check it out for yourself.

I’ve only got 12 packages though because this time we’re doing an experiment…

Actually, I’m taking a risk in doing this – I’m taking a gamble, but here’s where it gets especially good for you. The course is £2137 to do at full price. We can split that into 10 payments of £213 if you set up a BACS transfer.

However, here’s the good bit – if you have the funds [or a credit card] and you can afford to do it in one payment, we’ll make it more than half price and give it to you for only £997. Heck, we’re feeling generous, and there’s a recession on ,so we’re making it ultra-affordable. Monthly payments, or more than half price – either way its a good deal.

All you have to do is make a decision, and this is a very easy decision...

Training NLP The Easy Way

The easy way to become an NLP Practitioner – come and spend 4 weekends in Glasgow starting September 24th

The training – led by an NLP Trainer and author with 20 years of experience of dealing with real people in the real world, not someone who bought their certificates or who’s never actually seen a client. Just Google “Jonathan Clark nlp” and watch what happens…

The seminars – relaxed, fun and baby steps so everyone can follow, with loads of practice and all questions answered. Not hyped up motivational “ra ra” with no questions allowed.

The class size – usually no more than 20 students on a course, so there’s personal attention, enough people to get “safety in numbers”, but not too many that you feel like just a bum in a seat. And we can tailor make the course to suit your needs.

The content – the entire traditional NLP syllabus PLUS other relevant methods and latest developments that work faster and better in the real world. And you get the entire thing on Mp3 audio [and its Jonathan on the cd, not an American trainer] and a full colour manual

The venue – Glasgow city centre so it’s easy to get to, not a remote hostel in the back of beyond

The confidentiality - Be assured that at all times Jonathan aims to have his students have fun and relax, and at no time will you be publicly sharing anything that’s personal, unless you want to. Please realise also that at no time will he put you on the spot, ask probing questions or embarrass you in front of others. In small group exercises of two or three people you will have the chance to uncover limiting beliefs and fears, but you’ll only share what you want to.

The time – all over 4 weekends [starting Sept 24 and 25th] so no time off work required, spread over 4 months. Not a bootcamp with little sleep and half your annual leave used up

The investment – spread the cost over 10 monthly payments of £213.70, or a 20% saving if you pay in one go at £1707. No hidden fees for the certificate or a “renewal fee” every year to keep it

The support – a month of coaching afterwards with the Trainer. You’re not going to be dumped or hypnotised into buying the next course, or offloaded onto an employee

The return on investment – once you know how to use NLP to help people, we’ll even teach you how to set up an NLP business and earn your money back. No one else offers this, because they buy into the recession mindset.

The money back guarantee – if you’re not delighted with your training we’ll give you a complete refund. We’re that certain you’ll value every day.

The chance to repeat – once you’ve attended our NLP Practitioner course, you can repeat for 10% of the normal cost forever more. You don’t have to pay a fortune to train with your trainers again

Open arms policy – if you already have an NLP Practitioner certificate from another training, we’ll honour it and you only pay 50%. No possessiveness or lineage issues here.

The certificates – you’ll leave with certification in NLP and HGE, Jonathan’s exclusive methodology that incorporates Huna, life coaching and hypnosis

The chance to develop further – once you’ve attended our NLP Practitioner course, you can come back as a Coaching Assistant and learn “secret stuff”

The advanced courses - once you’ve attended our NLP Practitioner course, you can choose to do Master Practitioner and even Trainer’s Training, but only if you want to

If you haven’t decided yet, then just ask for our free brochure which goes into even more detail if you need it. Call 0141 639 7099 or email jcalchemy@gmail.com

Wish this was you?

What would it be like if you got offered every job you were
interviewed for?

Imagine you could stand up in public and blow people's socks
off with your talk...

Just suppose you were so good at selling that your sales
increased by 40%

How much more acknowledgement and recognition would you gain
if you became the most respected local expert?

How flattering would it be to have dozens of people trying to
BE you?

Imagine you're a Financial Adviser and you do two appointment
sales - first the factfind, then prepare a proposal, then go
back and present it to the client and hopefully make the sale!

Picture yourself doing 3000 miles per month and living in a
Vauxhall Vectra. But as soon as you learned NLP your
appointments halved, your mileage halved and your sales went
up! In contrast, a week later your manager has a heart attack
in the same month his manager is diagnosed diabetic.

That's partly what motivates you to escape the rat race and
resign, be your own boss and grow your own six figure business.
Or you can stay where you are and shine in a company that's
scared to change.

Imagine the day you use NLP to get Morgan Stanley to hire you,
and the sales training that you present to THEIR sales trainers
increases their sales by 40% in 3 months! How much would you
charge them?

Starting on Saturday the 19th of June we're going to spend
5 days practicing state of the art business psychology skills
for communication, influence, coaching, presenting and selling
that enabled me to do exactly what I've just described. But
you'd better hurry...

Anchoring states, hypnotic language, NLP presenting skills,
negotiation techniques, become a living lie detector...
So many unfair advantages that leave you feeling in control,
the best you can be, motivated and loving your work.

Imagine you come to a gorgeous rural retreat, we implant a
"Business Power Chip" in your head programmed with the thinking
patterns of the Dragons, The Apprentices, The Bransons And
The Sugars of this world. That level of influence. That level
of drive. Heck, what if it only gave you 10% of that...

Now this is not for people who will settle for staying tired,
struggling and praying for a miracle. Ridiculous targets,
under pressure, low morale and endless paperwork...pointless
meetings, banal training while ever under the threat of redundancy.

This is for you if you want to join the increasing number of my
students who are out there DOING it, using my model to build a
name for themselves whilst proving it works. And I even help you
to get your first clients...

Visit http://budurl.com/BizPrac

And if its only the money stopping you, well we can talk about
that. This is the ONLY Business NLP course in 2010, we start
Saturday 10am and I can't wait!

you what you go and claim... http://budurl.com/BizPrac

If you're reading this then its possibly because you've had your fill of Easter Eggs and family movies and you thought browsing the web would make a change...?

But while you're here, can you help me out?

In our world of self-improvement and personal growth, you keep seeing the same thing over and over - Live seminars, telephone coaching, CD's, etc. That might suit the masses but my subscribers tend to be more discerning.
