First ever Modular Practitioner Course
Master the very latest and most advanced techniques in personal development...
If you are ready to grow and evolve yourself meaningfully, we invite you to come and spend 7 days over 4 months with us…
In August I'll be running my 21st NLP and HGE Practitioner Certification - with a twist.
This time we're running it over 4 weekends, over 4 months. The modular Master Prac went down well and meant people didn't have to use up valuable annual leave, so we're trying out [wanton experimentation] the same format for Prac.
The dates are Aug 3/4, Sept 1/2, Oct 6/7 and Nov 4th.
Now that means 2 things. Firstly, the early bird price deadline [normally £2137, but discounted to £1707] is July 4th, so if you know anyone who'd like to be certified as a Practitioner of NLP, spread the word.
Second, it means I'm looking for Coaching Assistants who can commit to all 4 weekends. Volunteers will be added to the list on a first come, first served basis.
Spread the word. And look out for my next post which will explain why you might want to do that soon....

I'm in 3 minds about this article...
Our ancestors used to teach this, as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Ever wonder why it’s in that order? This trinity is present in every tradition on the planet. The Pope’s cross has 3 horizontal bars, the Cardinal’s only two, and the Priests only has one. Hmmm. Or the Lovers Card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot Cards. There’s a man (conscious mind) looking at a woman (unconscious mind), but she’s looking above him at an angel (higher self) which he can’t see. Think of it as the child, the parent and the grandparent. You’ll never be alone again when you realise that there’s three of you in there.
You’re more than just a Conscious Mind. It thinks, “I am”. But you also have an unconscious Mind with feelings, “I feel”. It runs your body, beats your heart, stores your memories, controls your emotions. It’s sometimes called the “body/mind”. It’s like a timid animal with basic desires and a mental age of about five years old. It adores food, clothes, security, sex, fun, the five senses and safety. It has no words.
You always know you’re really at the unconscious level when you have no words for the feelings you’re experiencing. Any time you criticise yourself, you’re criticising your unconscious mind. People treat their pets better than their own unconscious. Society likes to keep you out of here – men are taught to be unemotional, therapists will help you manage your anger (rather than clear it up completely) and prescription drugs suppress your true feelings. They’re still there, you just can’t feel them. So the next time a red light appears on your car dashboard, just paint black paint over it. It’s still a problem, but at least you can’t see it.
Many believe you have a third self, the Higher Conscious Mind also, with still more, higher functions, such as wisdom, order, justice, ecology, peace, truth, perfection and evolution. This is the spiritual part of you, your guardian angel, and it looks down at you like a totally trustworthy parent gazing lovingly on a perfect child (you). It creates anything that you ask for, (whether dwell on good things or bad) including health and energy, as well as more tangible goals.
Now there’s a connection linking the Conscious Mind to the Unconscious Mind, and another linking the Unconscious Mind to your Higher Self. But there’s no direct connection between the Conscious Mind and the Higher Self. The only way to get communication with your Higher Self, is to first learn how to connect with your unconscious mind. Hence the use of Hypnosis, or trance in HGE, where you go inside…
The Physical body is the vehicle for the whole package. That’s why visualisation with feeling works better than affirmation – the former impacts the unconscious mind, and thus the Emotional and Physical bodies. Affirmations are Mental body, conscious statements. Does that make sense?
Daddy Bray, a Hawaiian teacher or Kahuna said that the lesson of life is for the Unconscious Mind to become conscious, and for the Conscious Mind to become a Higher Self. Your conscious mind’s job is to teach the unconscious mind and grow it up, so it becomes a conscious mind. Strive to make the hidden contents of your unconscious, conscious. He also said that the lesson of Mastery was for the Higher Self to come down into the consciousness, and for the conscious mind to merge with the unconscious.
Become a Higher self and integrate that back into your physical life. Bring your spiritual nature all the way down into the physical body. Then you can truly and profoundly affect other people in your daily life.
Oh and by the way, your unconscious mind looks up at you like an awestruck child – you are a God in it’s eyes. Your Higher Self looks down at you as perfect, in every way, right now. It’s only your conscious mind that needs convincing…

Revealed - The truth about coaching, hypnosis, NLP and how to go beyond it
Interviewer: Jonathan struck me as a fascinating exponent of personal development. I was so impressed with your skill and depth of knowledge and ability to help people truly change their lives that I invited you to talk at my business seminar, which you did and it went down a storm so things have really developed since then, haven’t they, you’ve now developed your own methodology called HGE, it’s a definite breakthrough or progression or evolvement might be a more appropriate word from NLP I think, and its really fascinating to me because I think NLP as I’m sure you’ll explain later on, has done the world an incredible service but at least to me seems to have stopped progressing, but I think certainly what you do Jonathan is a really fresh and by what I’m seeing a more rapid way of truly evolving all these desires we have as human beings in health and relationships, money, business and so its very, very fascinating so you’ve written a book - we are now basically talking about that book or talking about HGE really. . So formally hello
Let’s get straight into it, because we would like pack this with as much information for people listening as we possible can so why don’t you start Jonathan if you would like to with a brief history of what NLP was and why you got involved, and then what began to frustrate you leading to your own HGE involvement.
Jonathan: Well there’s an old phrase that says that people get into personal development either out of desperation or inspiration and I’ve yet to meet someone who is inspired to do it. People often go into a philosophy or a mind set or a set of techniques to try and get them through the day, I was no different from that. I was the shy specky kid with asthma and a duodenal ulcer by the time I was sixteen because I was so scared of talking to people, and I got into it purely because my brother studied psychology and I read all these books and found it fascinating. If I could burn a whole in my stomach with my brain what could I do that was a little bit more useful?
And so I started learning all these things for my benefit - I got into personal development, read all the standard books most people have read and then started to kind of push it a little because a lot of that stuff was very conscious, very techniquey, very kind of… you had to force yourself to do it, it was like affirmations, telling yourself “you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy” when the other part of brain was screaming at you that you’re not happy at all.
So I started to look at things like Neuro Linguistic Programming, NLP, hypnosis, life coaching, and some other esoteric things like Feng Shui,, energy work and all that kind of stuff, a lot of the people I was listening to had some sort of esoteric discipline as well and in fact if you look at all of the major personal development people, all the big names they all look at some kind of esoteric spirituality aspect and that intrigued me - I thought maybe I’m missing something, maybe there’s a side of life I don’t know anything about, because at the time I didn’t ever look at that kind of thing, in fact I poo poo’d it.
NLP I found to be very practical hands on, you could read it and use it the same day - you could fix phobias in under an hour, you could take away nerves, you could make people confident, you could change beliefs, you could do amazing wonderful things in a very short space of time which really blew my head off - if you know how the brain works you can basically program it to do anything you want, so that fascinated me, the ulcer disappear, my asthma disappeared, I got fitter and healthier, started taking care of my physical body, changed career completely.
Interviewer: Ok and this is all self done.
Jonathan: Incredibly powerful self-work, and I had never seen it fail, I had only ever seen NLP work, so my enthusiasm took off like a house on fire and I started sharing it with people, I started running seminars at weekends, I started working with individuals and because I didn’t know it might not work it always did. It was only later on I found some NLP people have problems with that and after 2 years of working with people in the field, and actually working with exam nerves and phobias and confidence, ME, massive health shifts in people, stuff you wouldn’t believe, transformational health changes, I thought one day somebody might actually ask me for a certificate, or a qualification and because my background was financial services I very much believe in that stuff, I thought right I’m going to have to go and get trained.
Then I discovered that issues would come up with students and the trainers were unable to bail them out, the trainers actually had no field experience, they were textbook perfect but had never worked with people in the real world so I had to keep bailing people out because I had been doing in for two years, and that really was a huge convincer to me about my ability, and it surprised me and also kind of disappointed me as well that the household names in the field weren’t actually up to scratch, in my opinion, I coined a phrase “always a trainer, never a therapist” because they could talk about it, there’s a lot of text book people out there but when it comes to the real world application they just haven’t got the chops for it.
Interviewer: It’s the age old thing about teachers isn’t it?
Jonathan: Correct, teachers you know, as apposed to coaches. . Coaches do it. But, so having done that for a while I decided I could help people more than what I am currently doing in my current career, which is a financial advisor, I was getting great results using NLP in the financial services, my sales doubled and my appointments halved, and my managers wondered what I was doing, and all I was doing was some of these techniques, rapport techniques, building connections with people, having people like you and trust you, having two way trust going. I then decided I’m going launch my own business and do this on the side, build it up and then eventually go self-employed. I did that, my income immediately doubled after two months I was working half the hours, and I had always been taught that self-employed businesses fail within the first two year and those that succeed fail within the next two years. I’m helping people and doing something that I felt I was born to do and I’ve basically been doing that ever since. Now I have looked at the current stuff that I’ve been training and thinking this needs to grow and evolve, there are certain things that most personal development areas don’t cover, or there’s certain holes or certain gaps, I’ve plugged them and I now want to get them out to the world.
Interviewer: OK, so now tell us what HGE is and maybe you can preface that by saying what these missing links were that were frustrating you.
Jonathan: Well, what often happens with most technique based skills is that there’s often heart missing, there’s often a kind of humanity aspect, and they become very cold and calculating and very kind of logical and sensible, and for a lot of people that’s not enough, a lot of NLP people are very academic and very much into systems orientation and the way things work, however, for something to give you complete balance, if you really want to be successful in all areas you need to include a more humane, what would you call it . . holistic approach as well, so there has to be some kind of higher purpose, there has to some kind of creativity or inspiration behind it.
Another hole I noticed was that very often people wouldn’t use a lot of the techniques that they’d learned because it was full of technical jargon that put people off. They start to sound as if they were into some strange cult. It also excluded people who wanted a more spiritual experience, typically if you look at any of the mind disciplines out there they’ll either be very conscious, logical academic or they’ll be very kind of spiritual, esoteric and kind of ‘green’ issues and most camps that I meet, most people fall into one or the other, what I wanted to do was bridge the gap and explain why both sides have advantages.
Also the majority of the technologies out there have been around for a long, long time and aren’t developing and aren’t evolving themselves, there are too many cliques, too many politics and people arguing who the original inventors were and not enough making it user friendly and making it publicized.
In most complimentary alternative methodologies, as these might called, I think the aromatherapy guild released statistics last year to say that 25% of qualified aromatherapists actually earn a living doing it. Coach University recently sent out statistics talking about the 30,000 life coaches on the planet, I think 10% of them make a living from it, and making a living was £15,000 a year or less.
Interviewer: Doesn’t surprise me, is seems that any training method, it’s very few people who actually apply it and actually sustain it.
Jonathan: That’s the problem with most conventional training, it doesn’t do that, what I looked at was answering these niggles that had always been around for me and people would bring these up to me and I had the sort of standard stock party line phrases that everyone else had but I just felt as if I wasn’t walking my talk and I was hypocritical until I got them fixed, so I’ve spent the past sixteen years tweaking this, developing it and answering those questions for myself. I don’t believe I’ve got the right to advise someone else unless I’m doing it myself, so I had to fill those holes, and I feel as if I have.
Interviewer: Yeah ok . . . good.
Jonathan: For those of us who want the balance and the success and want to ‘thrive’ instead of just ‘survive’, then there’s a kind of four areas you need to look at, and the big picture is simply that, there’s four aspects to you, you have a spiritual aspect, you have a mental aspect, you have an emotional aspect and you have a physical aspect, and if you fail to take care of one of those areas in your life . . . it will bite you! It is as simple as that, people who have the money, the toys, the things they want to play with, the supportive environment, the bank account, the relationships and all the external physical tangible things, those are great, but not just on their own. Ideally you also want to have the ability to understand your own emotions and to be able to change your emotions, not be burdened with traumas and hassles from the past, ideally to change that and let it go, also the ability to think flexibly and creatively, so that you can think outside the box and think laterally and come up with solutions to your problems, and also to have the freedom to choose your spirituality or your esoteric development or whatever path you want to follow. I think we all have those four god given rights and the one that you fail to nourish and nurture, is the one ultimately which will come up in your life as a problem.
I think this is the key, I think understanding HGE enables you to understand every other practice discipline, procedure, process, every other ‘ology’ out there. HGE explains the mechanics of how they work, so that’s going to save you a lot of time and money buying useless books or pointless treatments or courses that promise a lot but don’t deliver much. You’ll actually be able to predict and understand how something works and why it works or also predict why it won’t work in advance. That’s the way I look at it, I’ve spent 16 years mastering this stuff so you don’t have to. Let’s cut to the chase. The full story is a free report at www.NLPandbeyond.co.uk
Interviewer: Alright, so what’s your universal message, when you say it like that?
Jonathan: You can change anything about yourself that you don’t like and you can have anything that you want. The book you will find is more of a training manual than it is a text book, it’s full of exercises, it’s full of real practical ‘hands on’ go and do this now, you’ve learned about it now go and do it. If you’re willing to do those things you will get immediate results in your world, that are categorically there in front of you, tangible. And that’s what personal development fans want.

Just when you think you're onto something big...
I just spotted Richard Branson in it! He's being frisked by airport security.
Then I check on AOL and discover 305 other websites that mention this, going as far back as last November.
So much for sensory acuity!

There's a 17th!!
And that works brilliantly for clients who are having 'problems' communicating - ask them to imagine how they'd like it to be and then ask them to take at least one step towards being the person they see in their 'future' each day. i've found it helps enormously, though as I'm not completely without 'stuff' find that sometimes the halo slips, and after I think, aha, I didn't act as if.
All of that asides, which almost amounts to a but ... love your 16 Brian!!

16 Rules to Live by
Although I know all of us abide by the presuppositions of NLP at every minute of every day i found this post on a surf and thought I'd share it. A nicely skewed view on how to be happier -
Here are the 16 rules I try to live by:
1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone. I believe that not much happens of any significance when we're in our comfort zone. I hear people say, "But I'm concerned about security." My response to that is simple: "Security is for cadavers."
2. Never give up. Almost nothing works the first time it's attempted. Just because what you're doing does not seem to be working, doesn't mean it won't work. It just means that it might not work the way you're doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity.
3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think. There's an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true. It goes like this: "The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed."
4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be. Very seldom will the worst consequence be anywhere near as bad as a cloud of "undefined consequences." My father would tell me early on, when I was struggling and losing my shirt trying to get Parsons Technology going, "Well, Robert, if it doesn't work, they can't eat you."
5. Focus on what you want to have happen. Remember that old saying, "As you think, so shall you be."
6. Take things a day at a time. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don't look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.
7. Always be moving forward. Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
8. Be quick to decide. Remember what the Union Civil War general, Tecumseh Sherman said: "A good plan violently executed today is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow."
9. Measure everything of significance. I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves.
10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate. If you want to uncover problems you don't know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven't examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.
11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing. When you look at your competitors, remember that everything looks perfect at a distance. Even the planet Earth, if you get far enough into space, looks like a peaceful place.
12. Never let anybody push you around. In our society, with our laws and even playing field, you have just as much right to what you're doing as anyone else, provided that what you're doing is legal.
13. Never expect life to be fair. Life isn't fair. You make your own breaks. You'll be doing good if the only meaning fair has to you, is something that you pay when you get on a bus (i.e., fare).
14. Solve your own problems. You'll find that by coming up with your own solutions, you'll develop a competitive edge. Masura Ibuka, the co-founder of SONY, said it best: "You never succeed in technology, business, or anything by following the others." There's also an old Asian saying that I remind myself of frequently. It goes like this: "A wise man keeps his own counsel."
15. Don't take yourself too seriously. Lighten up. Often, at least half of what we accomplish is due to luck. None of us are in control as much as we like to think we are.
16. There's always a reason to smile. Find it. After all, you're really lucky just to be alive. Life is short. More and more, I agree with my little brother. He always reminds me: "We're not here for a long time; we're here for a good time."
Thanks to Bob Parsons (www.bobparsons.com) for his thoughts...

BootCampers & Small Business Owners
Jonathan mentioned an online networking tool on Sunday called Ecademy. I have included a link below that will enable you to register for free and receive a free 1 month network pass. This will give you some time to look around and get a feel for the site and decide whether it will work for you or not.
No bank detials or anything will be taken at this point if you don't want them to be.
I thought I'd post it here as sending these out directly through ecademy means the emails will keep on coming!
It is a great site and since upgrading my account last night my profile has already been viewed 46 times (of course each of these viewers then received an email which connects them back to me).
I've also been able to post, for free, my ebay CD listings in the ecademy marketplace and, of course, this means you can post your services, courses, training days, whatever in there as well...Still For Free!!
There is some guy on there selling this Fully Booked Bootcamp idea for people just like us. Looks like a good course, perhaps I'll get on it!
Anyway, click right here and you'll get taken to the site.
Enjoy

New Projects for 2007...
Entrancing...Have a look at www.trulyhypnotic.com which is a new website I've launched...
Profitable - Also I'd recommend www.meanttoberich.com as well - seems this guy is up to something really rather curious...
Both websites were created quickly and easily [without any programming ability] using the really inexpensive (i.e.£23 per month) website creation software from
http://www.WebsiteWizard.com/index/dashboard
which I heartily recommend - it has all the bells and whistles you'd ever need - pop ups, surveys, autoresponders, broadcast module, built in Merchant Facility, audio, video - it's awesome! And it's Polish!
If you haven't got a website, and even if you do, grab one of these!
