Now that I have established my emotional anchor through the guided imagery exercise on PP2 Guided Imagery Tape, do I have to keep practising that same exercise or is the emotional anchor now established?

It's established, and it always needs "topping up". This can be done by going to past good events, or as soon as really good events happen, then do it straight away.

I have several goals I'd like to work on. What is the best way to work on these in my Peaceful Place? One after the other at the one session? Or is it better to porpoise in and out and do a different one each time?

Either way is fine - I do all mine together, that is, say each goal, visualise the goal, apply Emotional Anchor, let it go and then say the next goal, etc...

I'm struggling between two Peaceful Places. How do I choose the right one?

Build it again. Use the tape A Peaceful Place No. 2 (Guided Imagery) side one. Whichever is dominant will come in to your mind first.

Are Peaceful Place techniques suitable for children?

What I usually suggest is that the parents learn the techniques so that they can pass it on to their children

IF .... YOU'RE JUST NOT DOING IT - WHAT'S STOPPING YOU? Deep down we know what to do. Our parents have told us. We went to school and over and over again we were instructed, taught, cajoled, persuaded about what we need to do. At work we were taught again - we attended courses, we did on-the-job training, we read instructions and we practised. So we know what to do - we know how to be successful - we know that we can improve and ' WE JUST DON'T DO IT !

Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis

When I was doing a seminar at Mt Gambier in South Australia I had the good fortune to meet a remarkable young lady, Debbie Leahy, who told me of her success in her battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). We spoke about Guided Imagery and the methods espoused by psycho-neuro-immunologists whereby, with our minds, we can increase our T4 cell count (the fighting cell) by picturing and imagining the increase of our white cell count overcoming the red cells in the source area of any illness. (Say f...

Mental Toughness

I was recently invited to give a talk to an army engineer unit who are doing their training to go to Afghanistan. This unit was training at Tully Jungle Warfare Training Centre where they had just completed a 4 day exercise. The exercise included being sleep deprived and hungry – they averaged just one meal a day for those 4 days. On return to camp the soldiers had a shower and a good hot lunch. Then it was my turn to talk to them for 2 hours and address mental toughness. I can honestly tell yo...

The Principles of Peaceful Place in Life

This MIND MATTERS NEWS includes 3 wonderful stories which illustrate the use of Peaceful Place and the principles of life that I write and teach about. I was blown away when I read them.

When I'm in my PP doing my goal, do I create the feelings of success by visualising the accomplishment of my goal and then use my emotional anchor?

Yes. You can actually use the visualisations of achieving your goal and also use all the visualisation of the reasons why you want to achieve that goal and the fantastic feelings of success that go with that achievement.

My goal seems so distant, as I know it cannot happen for several years. What do you suggest I do?

It is important to break down your goal into what is achievable in ? five years, one year and perhaps one month. The monthly goal is a stepping stone to the yearly goal, and the annual goal is a stepping stone towards the five year goal.

Can I get to my Peaceful Place when I'm stressed? How do I do it?

Two ways. You need to take longer in the early stages, ie. before Alpha is a habit; so go into your relaxed place, through the pathway to your Peaceful Place.

How can I help my child to learn better?

If you can, then make it as enjoyable as possible for your child to attend school . Extra curricular activities that they really enjoy and look forward to are also important.

Meditation

When introducing meditation as a topic in my seminars, many people say to me "I can't meditate", or "I've tried - and failed", or "I always have so many thoughts", "I can't sit with my legs crossed", "I can't think nothing" ... and more. What really prompted this E-Report is the number of people who query the value of meditation, who say that they don't have time, or simply ask "What is meditation?"

What We Can Do Towards Healing

Recently when I was reading a book about the mind ("Your Mind and How to Use It" by W.J. Ennever) I came across the following "experiment" done with a man who was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. The man was hypnotized and the suggestion was made that his arm was being touched with a red-hot iron and that a blister would form. The doctor conducting the "experiment" actually touched him with his finger. The arm was securely bandaged and six hours lat...

Honour and Privilege

Since sending out the Announcement about my plans for conducting the "Train the Presenter Seminar", for those interested in becoming an Independent Credentialed CALM Coach (ICCC), I have had a flood of people asking me why I am doing this and am I going to retire? Some were worried that perhaps I might have health problems which I am covering up. Let me set the record straight: there is nothing going on behind the scenes, I can't go on forever by myself and it is time for me to share m...

Q and A on Sabotage

I have written a number of times that the subconscious mind's job is to keep you where you are now (and now there is scientific proof of it) ... in other words keep you in your Comfort Zone. The subconscious mind wants what it's got and it does not want what it has not got! In other words it keeps doing all the things that are habits (whether you consciously want the habit or not) and it doesn't want any new habit.

Why is Life's Purpose so Important?

IT IS CHOICE NOT CHANCE THAT DETERMINES YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE NOW. I have been conducting my CHI (Creating Happiness Intentionally) Seminar, since 1994 and I produced my book of the same name some six years later, in August 2000. Is it just me? Or have you also noticed that there seems to be an ever-increasing amount written about Life's Purpose Now? Why I wonder? Well ... I do have a few thoughts as to why this might be such an important topic.

Friends and Friendship

Some time ago I did a survey on â€œWhat Would You Like Me To Write About in MIND MATTERS Newsâ€. The topic of Friends and Friendship came up a few times. I have baulked at writing about this (until now) for two reasons. One is that it is such a huge topic, however I have someone who started me off â€“ my gorgeous wife Sandra. She is my best and truest friend and I consider myself extremely lucky to have her love and friendship.

Consider Charity

By way of introduction, I was asked at a recent Seminar in Armidale about my involvement with charities because this particular young lady had a group that made $50 per week which it would like to donate to a worthy cause. I have not spoken about my support for charities in an E-Report before and so I am taking this opportunity to do so.

What is an emotional anchor and what is it used for?

Emotion is the language of the subconscious mind. In other words it is the actual feeling of emotion that helps us imprint on the subconscious mind - that is, memory. For example, we can easily recall any good, or bad, event that's happened in our lives.
