NARRATOR: I had that dream again last night, the one
where I'm trapped inside a Salvador Dali painting
and I can't get out.
I'm alone in a room with no windows or doors.
Everything is spinning as I drift through space.
People pass by.
I try to reach them.
I cannot move.
There's a giant hourglass.
I have until the sand runs out to escape.
I have to wake up before the sand runs out,
or I'll be stuck in the painting forever.
NARRATOR 2: This moment is strange.
This experience we're having, this flow of colors and sands.
It's like a collective dream, and we can't wake up.
Do you like where you are in your life?
Do you like the way things are going?
Do you like the people around you?
Who do you want to be?
And what do you want to be?
What do you love?
What really sets your on fire?
What is it that you want?
What is it that you want to attract and manifest
and to enjoy in your life?
We have To be clear on our intention.
What is it that we want to manifest in our life?
What you intend is your order form to the universe.
The greater aspect of who we are is that part of the iceberg
that is below the water level--
The point of power is now.
It's in this moment.
No one is going to take responsibility
for your life but you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
If you want to achieve something,
the most important thing to do is to think
about what you do want.
It's a natural thing for people to think
about what they don't want.
But if you want to go from where you are
to where you want to be, there's some basic steps
that you have to do.
Number one, you have to decide where's the want to be.
Where do I want to go?
Some people do know what they want.
Some people don't know what they want.
If you don't know what you want, then you need to get
clarity on what you do want.
NARRATOR 3: A goal properly set is halfway reached.
When you have clarity about what you want,
it's like a laser beam.
You begin by thinking of your goals--
First of all--
Objectives, desires consciously.
What do you want?
-And you need to get specific. -Yup.
It needs to be measurable.
It needs to be as if now, which means in present tense.
It needs to be positively stated.
It needs to be timed.
But by when do you want it?
Sometime in the future?
I mean, one year is different from 10 years
is different from 100 years.
I tell you once you start to want, get really
clear about what matters to you, what you're passionate about,
and you're committed to being good at it,
your whole life changes in that moment.
NARRATOR 3: Follow your bliss and the universe
will open doors for you where there were only walls.
The other thing that's really critical to getting
to where you are to where you want to go
is you have to make some move.
You have to do the doingness.
You have to get in the car and drive.
You have to do the work.
So when the impulses come, and the ideas come, act on them.
Whatever action item comes to your mind,
as little as it may seem, or as out there as it may seem,
take that first step, because that will lead you
logically to your next step, And then that
will lead you to your next.
Let the path evolve in front of you
and don't worry so much about figuring it out.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I believe in setting goals, but not being
attached to those outcomes.
This is always the thing that trips people up.
They think if I really want it, how can I surrender it?
You don't surrender the goal or the intention.
You surrender your attachment to it.
Surrender is not like a giving up on life.
It's surrendering your need to manipulate and control it.
That's what you're really surrendering.
The more desperate you are to achieve a certain outcome,
the more that needy, urgent energy
will push that outcome away.
Behind detachment lies fear, the fear that things
aren't going to go away.
So where we find ourselves clinging,
where we find ourselves attached, if we look a little
deeper, what we find is fear.
So when we can lose the expectations
and the attachments to outcome, we take ourselves out of that
and we leave room for the infinite possibilities
that exist in this world.
The greatest contents of our life come unexpectedly.
They're surprise.
This is why creative experiences are
often called ah-ha experiences.
So be prepared for that ah-ha.
Well, I found the great secret to attracting whatever you
want in your life is to not need it,
or to not be attached to it.
If you want to prevent it, be attached, need it,
be addicted to it even.
If you want it to actually roll into your life
easily and effortlessly, be at peace with it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Are you willing to be responsible for your life?
Are you willing to be responsible for both
the good and the bad?
Because to the extent that you deny your creatorship
in creating your world, to that extent
you rob yourself of the power to create what
you want in your future.
That means whatever is showing up in your life,
you don't come from a place of being a victim.
You don't move into blaming, complaining,
making excuses justifying.
But rather, just accept what is happening,
take responsibility, and move forward
from an angle of being a victor in life rather than a victim.
NARRATOR 3: The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling
your dreams is you.
How people are treating you, that's their journey.
But how you respond, that's yours.
I am choosing my actions, and I'm also choosing my reactions.
And those have consequences.
You know, it's not the things that happen
to you that really matter.
It's the meaning you give the things
that happen to you that matter.
The meaning you give any particular event
can bring you down or bring you up.
So are we responsible?
We are responsible as we are in the midst of our lives
to become conscious.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Your life is reflecting back to you.
Right now, what you've been thinking about,
what you've been giving your attention to.
Science tells us that everything in the universe
is made up of energy, including our thoughts, our words,
our feelings, and our actions.
So we draw to us based upon our energetic vibration.
Basically our thoughts are sending
out signals like a radio wave.
And those radio waves are basically saying,
I want things to come back into my life that
match the vibration of that.
So if I'm in fear and resignation,
then I'm going to attract more things to be in fear about
and to be resigned to.
I'm of the opinion that you have attracted everything
in your life, everything.
Right down to the other people, right down to your boss,
right down to your family, friends, everything,
no exceptions whatsoever.
The only disclaimer I say is that you brought them
into your life unconsciously.
Most of the time, most of us are so unconscious,
we don't even notice it.
Our brains and bodies and our minds
have such an enormous potential, but we don't often find
that we're aligned with that.
And I think a lot of that has to do with the fact
that we don't believe that such a thing is possible.
So what prevents us from using this power?
What prevents us from actually creating
the life that we really love and want and desire and long
to attract?
And it's the whole idea of limitations that
are in your unconscious mind.
There are limitations about self worth, about deservingness,
about self image.
It's the programming you and I got when we were born.
In other words, you have unresolved stuff in your past,
which is preventing you from having
what you want in your future.
Exactly.
People may be thinking to themselves,
I'm doing all the right things to manifest my dreams.
I'm thinking all the right things.
But what are they thinking subconsciously?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
If you didn't achieve your goals, objectives, and desires,
and dreams so far in your life, or maybe some of them,
but maybe not all of them, the question is why not.
We believe that we are actually running
our lives with our desires and our wishes
and what we want from life.
And yet, we are now beginning to find out that those beliefs
are not running the show.
It's the programs in the subconscious mind
that run the show.
And since we're generally unaware of these programs when
they're automatically playing, hence the name unconscious
mind, we rarely, rarely see that it is our own behaviors
that are limiting us.
There is a certain part of our experience that is conscious.
A lot of studies have shown that essentially they
say we have seven, plus or minus two,
things that can be in conscious awareness at any time.
The rest is like the bottom of an iceberg.
It's unconscious.
Most of our lives are determined by,
quote, "unconscious programming," programs that
might go all the way back to when we were children,
two, three years old.
In fact, some of the most powerful ones, the ones that
were established back then.
NARRATOR 3: Beliefs have the power to create
and the power to destroy.
There's some seeds that have been planted
in the subconscious mind that may have told us what we
cannot do and what we can do.
Now, the truth of the matter is that many of us
walk through the world unconsciously
not aware of the conditioning and the programming
that we've had.
There are two parts to the mind that influence our lives.
There's the conscious part and the unconscious part.
The unconscious mind is not anything that's mysterious.
It's not anything that is, in spite of what Freud said,
evil or nasty.
Really, the unconscious mind is the part of our mind
that we're not conscious of.
The unconscious mind is also the part of you that's
in charge of your memories.
So it stores your memories, it's part of how
you know that you're you.
The supporting mind, the subconscious mind
is essentially the equivalent of a record playback device.
It records experience and learns behavior
and at the push of a button, can play those behaviors back.
Your subconscious mind is the hard drive of your life.
And it is given the information, programmed if you want,
when you're a youth, when you're a child, either
by the treatment or the information
that you consistently get.
During our developmental period,
which is from fetal development to age five,
our brain is in a specific state of activity
called a hypnogogic trance.
Essentially our brain is downloading information
about the environment and putting it in as programs
into the subconscious mind.
This hard drive is programmed with some core beliefs.
And if the core belief is I'm a failure, if the core belief is
I'm not valuable, I'm not powerful in my own life,
that will be embedded in your subconscious mind.
And as you grow up, you may not even
think in those terms word for word,
but your entire belief system and your thoughts
will be filtered through those understandings of yourself,
your place in the world, and your power in your life.
When we have an experience where something triggers
that subconscious pattern that's been buried in our mind,
our body and our life respond as if it's
experiencing that moment for the very first time.
Even we acquired learning of new experiences
back when we were three, four, five years of age,
it doesn't make a difference if you're 50 or 60 years of age,
those programs are playing actively in the subconscious
mind as present tense programs.
Our behavior is unconscious.
When we react to something, we don't
think first, oh, I'm going to do this, or this, or that.
We react, and then we think, oh, I reacted that way.
Where do you get these programs from?
And the answer is you download them from your parents,
your siblings, your community that you're growing up in.
We come into the world and we're taught
what to pay attention to.
That's really what our conditioning in programming
in life is about.
We drop into these families and they tell us
what's important in the world.
So people are used to listening to these negative messages
to themselves that may have come about from a fearful parent
or a fearful teacher.
The truth is that the conditioning
and the programming that we have gotten from birth
within our family circle, within our culture,
within our community does not define who we are.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Much of what we come to believe we are, to think we are
is not who we are.
Sometimes what you believe isn't true.
You believe you have to get more sleep.
You believe you have to do x, y, and z,
or be connected, or have a PhD in order to achieve your goals.
And the point is none of that's true.
People come to study with me and they often say,
Julia, I don't have a creative bone in my body.
But I've been teaching for 25 years now,
and I have yet to meet a person who isn't creative in some way.
Perception is not a fact, but a mirror.
It is our state of mind projected outwards.
NARRATOR 3: Reality is merely an illusion,
albeit a very persistent one.
We have this belief that just because we have a thought
means that it's true.
Silly.
Just because you have a thought doesn't mean it's true.
It's very important to learn to question your thoughts.
I have people do an exercise where I ask them to write out
the reason I can't be a brilliant and prolific
creative artist is.
And they will find that they have
lots of irrational thoughts related to being an artist.
And so when we get people to look
at these subconscious beliefs, people begin to say,
oh, that's sort of silly.
That's not true.
If you're in a negative emotion,
if you feel fear, anxiety, depression, that is your body's
way of telling you you're in a belief
or in a thought system that is dishonoring to you,
that is agitating to you.
All you have to do is stop and think about, OK,
what am I making this mean?
Sometimes we don't even make beliefs based on our thoughts.
We are picking up beliefs from others
without even really consciously doing it.
Our beliefs often are beliefs of other people.
Most of us live in belief systems.
It's the water that we're swimming in.
We have all these belief systems that tell
us what we can and can't do.
A belief really creates a certain focus for our thinking.
It shapes our thinking.
And of course, then our thinking shapes our behavior.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Belief is not just an idea.
It also has a neurological aspect.
We say it gets in the muscle.
We have a cognitive mind, but there's also a schematic mind.
Beliefs are where those two things meet.
So empowering beliefs are what allow us to create reality,
to create things that don't yet exist.
NARRATOR 3: Healing is an effect of changing beliefs.
Change the mind, change the body.
The placebo effect is a good example
of how a belief in something can create
an actual, physical effect.
NARRATOR: The placebo effect is an improvement in health
due not to any treatment, but only to a person's belief
that he or she will get better.
Pharmaceutical drugs are routinely
tested against the placebo effect
to gauge the drug's effectiveness.
According to medical research, the placebo effect
occurs over 40% of the time.
In other words, if you're thinking positively,
it will affect destruction of your brain in one way.
And if you're thinking negatively,
it will effect destruction of your brain in another week.
And therefore you have different effects
all throughout the cells of your body.
NARRATOR: Our bodies are composed of over 75% water.
There is a strong connection between the quality
of our lives and the quality of the water,
which makes up our bodies.
Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto conducted extensive experiments
on water around the world.
He documented how the energy vibrations
in the water's environment can affect the molecular structure
of the water.
By freezing water samples and then taking pictures
of the frozen crystals with a dark field microscope,
he found that certain bodies of water
form the most beautiful crystalline structures,
while others caused the molecular structure
to break down.
In a similar experiment, he discovered energy vibrations
of thoughts and words can also cause significant changes
to the structure of water.
By directing written and spoken words towards water samples,
freezing the samples, and then taking
a photographs of the crystals, he
found that negative thoughts and words directed at water
destroyed the water crystals, causing them to break down,
while positive thoughts and words, such as love
and gratitude, caused the most beautiful crystal
clusters to form.
Dr. Emoto's work provides evidence
that thoughts and words affect the molecular structure
of the water in our bodies.
Because our bodies are 75% to 90% water,
everything that we think, everything that we feel,
all the experiences of our life, the music that we listen to,
have an impact on the molecular structure of the water
that makes up our body.
We have to be very careful with what we think, how we feel,
because our thoughts and feelings
are always being converted into chemicals in our body all day.
For example, if you're thinking about something that you love,
then that can be actually affecting cells in your heart.
If you're thinking of stuff that makes you stressed,
for example, then you may be having structural changes
in cells in your liver.
So these thoughts are actually stored
biochemically and at the cellular level all
throughout your body.
NARRATOR: A nocebo effect is the opposite of the placebo effect.
The nocebo effect is a decrease in health due to a person's
thoughts and beliefs.
The nocebo effect is exactly the same as the placebo effect,
but in the opposite direction, meaning as much
as a positive thought can be used to invoke healing,
a negative thought can actually cause disease and death.
So our beliefs to determine our relationship with everything
else in the world.
To me, one of the examples where I really experienced the power
of belief was in coaching my mother, who had a recurrence
of metastatic breast cancer.
She'd had cancer once and it came back.
And it was at what's called stage five.
And there's no stage six.
And she was basically she had several months to live.
She didn't feel like there was any future.
So how do you coach somebody in that situation?
By helping her to find where, first
become in touch with those limiting beliefs,
find out where they were, and then transform
those into empowering beliefs.
I remember she used to say that when that first happened,
it was the worst thing that ever happened to her.
10 years later, when she was still very much alive,
had a remarkable recovery, because she had shifted
many things inside of her, she had shifted
her own programming, she would look back at that time
and say that was the best thing that ever happened to me.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
What are the limiting beliefs?
They are the conditioned ideas, false ideas
that the world tells us about, that we can't do
certain things, if you're a certain gender, the things you
can't do, if you're a certain ethnicity, the things you can't
do, things that you're expected to do,
things that you're not expected to do.
All of those things are really made up things.
How would you identify what is a negative thought that I have?
What is a limiting belief that I have?
About me, about my capabilities, and also about the world
around me, about the loved ones in my family,
about my business, about my finances, about my health?
I think to get clear on what you're limiting beliefs are,
I think what you have to do first of all
is you have to look at what you can accomplish
and what you can't accomplish.
Notice those things you succeeded at
and notice those things you didn't succeed at.
And ask yourself, what do I believe about that?
That's probably a really good way to get clear on what's
going on up here.
The classic signs of limiting beliefs
are hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness.
So when people feel hopeless, that
comes from the limiting belief that something isn't possible.
It's hopeless.
If somebody feels helpless, even if something is possible,
what they're going to sense is this may be possible,
but I am not capable.
And worthlessness means, I don't deserve it.
It's actually a limiting belief about myself, my identity.
Like maybe you'd rather make more money,
but you have a belief of no one in our family ever did,
so I can't.
Or maybe you want to get into a great relationship,
but you believe I've never been in a great relationship
so how could I possibly do it.
Human beings need belief to survive.
But most of us has dysfunctional beliefs.
NARRATOR 3: We will act consistently with our view
of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.
Limiting beliefs stop us from using the capabilities
that we actually have.
And where's your belief system formed?
It's formed in your subconscious mind.
And you may not be aware of the core beliefs
that you're carrying with you, but they
are intrinsic to your destiny creation.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Many people get stuck, because their subconscious
thoughts are not in alignment with what
they're consciously wanting.
The problem when is that everything at the unconscious
level, which is not complete.
That means it's unresolved.
That means there's more to do or say about it.
Anything which is not complete can
be brought up by the unconscious mind to have you work on it.
And that's the problem with positive thinking.
The problem with positive thinking
is that we try to think positively,
but then if there's something unresolved at the unconscious
level, regarding that, it will come out in our face
and we'll have to go, oh, no.
A lot of people say just go around and say what you want
to create, like I'm a millionaire, and I'm valuable,
and I'm powerful.
But if your subconscious mind is deeply
indoctrinated in the total opposite of that statement,
it's going to resist.
In fact, it's going to say to you who are you kidding?
You're not valuable.
You're not powerful.
I remember when I wanted to change
my beliefs about prosperity.
So I went out and I bought some books.
For two years, I said to myself everything
and everybody prospers me now.
And that's about how much--
That's nice.
It's a very good affirmation.
I think it took me about two years
to consciously change that belief.
Now, I could have done it much more quickly.
With the work we do, we can change beliefs in a matter
of about 10 minutes.
So what's the difference?
The difference is that a conscious belief, even when
we change it consciously, we say, I'm not going to believe
that anymore, our beliefs and our attitudes and our values
are generally unconscious.
Stored unconsciously.
They're stored unconsciously.
And so they affect us and they come from the unconscious mind.
And so the change needs to occur at the unconscious level
for the change to be completed.
In many circles, especially as people been talking
about the law of attraction, people are told,
you can have anything that you want.
In some cases, they say fake it till you make it.
Act as if, and then it will happen.
Well, if you do that and underneath
it is a set of negative ideas and programming
that you didn't even realize you had,
then you get what you feel, not what you say,
not what you think.
So you say all the affirmations in the world,
you can say all the prayers, you can visualize, and all of that.
But if underneath it, the feeling tone that's
underneath it, is one of fear, or a sense of impossibility,
you get what you feel.
When your unconscious thoughts are things like,
I'm not good enough to get what it is I'm hoping for,
or I don't really deserve that, those have a tremendous power
to block or limit your ability to draw
in what it is you're wanting.
We set a conscious goal.
And we have a conscious belief.
But the unconscious beliefs can get in the way of that.
And that's because they're not in alignment.
They're not congruent.
They're not essentially saying the same thing.
So in terms of if you want importance
of conscious mind versus unconscious mind,
guess who always wins?
The unconscious mind does.
The unconscious mind always wins.
NARRATOR: 95% of the day our life is being controlled
by the perceptions and beliefs that are programmed
in the subconscious mind.
We can become fully conscious and aware that the programming,
the conditioning that our life experiences have given us
do not define us.
It's not who we are.
It's how we learn to be.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Be aware of the words that you're using,
because they represent the thoughts that
are streaming through you mind.
Change your thought, change your life.
The language that we use internally
and externally basically has a profound effect
on all areas of life.
We have 60,000 thoughts a day, and for the average person,
80% of those are negative.
When you change some of these patterns of your thinking,
then it not only influences your language,
it influences how you feel about your own capabilities.
And one of the things that I do and I recommend people do
is to pay attention to their self talk.
DISEMBODIED VOICES: I'm a loser.
They're out to get me, I'm telling you.
I'm a failure.
I'm so stupid.
I'll never be happy.
I can't believe I did that.
I hate my job. I'm so lonely.
I hate my job. I hate my life.
Nobody loves me.
Life is hard. I hate my life.
I'm a loser.
He doesn't love me.
So all of our thoughts, feelings, words,
and actions impact what it is we draw to us.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Your beliefs are critical in terms of your ability
to manifest what it is you want in life, because you're going
to manifest those things that are in accordance and alignment
with your beliefs.
If you believe it's difficult to make money,
then you're going to have experience of being
difficult to make money.
If you believe it's easy to make money,
you're going to create experience
where it's easy to make money.
How do you actually use the law of attraction?
How do you attract something to you?
And again, it's the unconscious mind.
NARRATOR 3: Whatever you determine
to be true in your subconscious becomes true for you.
If I'm planting seeds of thoughts of lack and limitation
and I'm wanting to be prosperous and have abundance,
the law works without fail.
If I'm planting that seed of lack,
I'm going to tend to experience lack in my life.
And if that's not what I want, I get to dig up that seed
and plant something else.
What's actually going on is you're
tracking what you believe on an unconscious level.
You're unconsciously saying, I want money,
but I don't believe I'm going to get it.
And what you're sending out is a signal of I don't
believe I'm going to get it.
And the universe will say, yes, and not give you any money.
So if we have a hope or a dream and we dream about it often,
we hope that it comes, we imagine it coming in
and literally feel how great that would feel,
then that is natural law, the law of attraction.
That will come into our lives.
But if we do not believe in that,
it's like we block off the flow of that reality
coming towards us.
So our own beliefs that such a thing is not possible
or if we don't deserve such and such a thing,
then we actually block the achievement of that reality.
Your life today is a print out of your subconscious mind.
Whatever is not working likely is
due to a program that will prevent
you from getting what you want.
Those beliefs within you are the ones
that are actually going out and creating the reality you have.
NARRATOR 3: You can have anything
you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it.
A lot of what is influencing us is not
going to be in our initial conscious thoughts.
So you have to dig a little deeper
and see where these core beliefs that keep turning you
back to the same issues, the same negative conclusions,
may be.
And once you find them, you can reverse them and reverse what
your consciousness will create.
Knowing that, you get to now choose.
You get to choose differently and in order
to do that, you have to be aware of your thoughts, what
you give your attention to most of the time.
NARRATOR 3: Behind every behavior
is a positive intention.
Behind every behavior is a positive intention.
So first of all, rather than just trying to struggle with,
one of the things we say is that you
actually will not change your belief by struggling it in.
The first thing to do is to find out its positive intentions.
So even a limiting belief will be trying to do
something for us, protect us.
See, a belief in and of itself, at least
the way that I think about them, is all beliefs
are the result of learning.
They have a role.
And they have something to teach us.
In the unconscious mind are going
to be tremendous resources, what we call unconscious competences
that we don't know we have, as well
as the unconscious limitations.
But we've got to find those limitations.
I think it's like peeling an onion,
getting down to the core.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
In order for you to be able to create everything you want
in your universe, you're going to need to come to the cause
side of the equation.
And the cause side of the cause and effect equation
says, I am at cause.
I'm the creator of everything that happens in my universe.
That doesn't mean I created everything consciously,
because what we say is that the sum total of your conscious
and unconscious together-- -Choices.
Conscious and unconscious choices, decisions, beliefs,
attitudes, thoughts, behaviors, all of that packaged
together puts you where you are right now in your life.
Allowing yourself to investigate what you need
to change is going to empower you way more then
your denial of the negativity that's already there.
You can deny your core belief negativity all you want.
You still carry it in your cellular memory.
NARRATOR 3: Taking responsibility for your beliefs
and judgments gives you the power to change them.
There are unconscious beliefs that if we don't deal
with them, if we don't embrace them,
we're never going to be able to be manifesting what we focus
on with our conscious mind.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
It doesn't take years of therapy
to change your subconscious mind.
And here's the beauty of quantum physics.
Even just a slight shift in consciousness
can create huge results, amazing results in reality.
If any belief system is not useful to you,
learning to give it up is extremely important
for a creative person.
NARRATOR 3: When I let go of what I am,
I become what I might be.
What's of a positive nature that supports you?
What's not supporting you?
What's blocking you?
Because ultimately, the blocks that you have
prevent you from achieving your maximum potential.
When you start to become aware of these beliefs that
are holding you back, you are now at choice to continue them
or to let them go.
Choose beliefs to support you in having what you want.
If you want to have money and you want to make it easily,
then start believing and choosing to believe
it's easy to make money.
Go inwards and have fun on this experience
and create the beliefs that are going to put you on the path
that you most desire.
See we meet the core of who you are is a beam of light,
is a magnificent beam.
And it's all covered up and hidden
behind the negative thoughts, emotions, beliefs
that you accumulated from the past.
If you've got a limiting belief that you've
had your whole life, it's going to run pretty strong.
It's going to be a pretty strong force field.
So you need some sort of a technique
that will allow you to interact directly with the energy.
The reason I'm able to do what I do now
and to have the car, houses, income, fame, fortune,
glory, whatever you want to call it,
is that I've been working on myself a long time.
I was homeless over 30 years ago.
I was in poverty for the longest time when I lived in Houston.
And people say, what was the one thing
you did to get off the streets and get out of poverty?
The only one thing I did was work on my beliefs.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We live in a fabulous time, because there are so
many great tools and technologies that are out there
available for us to use.
You've got right now inside of you all
the capabilities to still achieve, regardless
of what age you are--
All the power you need.
All the power you need is inside you right now.
Now, the question is how to get in touch with that power,
how to let go of what limits you,
how to let go of those limiting beliefs, thoughts,
negative emotions that prevent you from moving from here
to there where you want to be.
You cannot solve a problem with the same thinking
that's creating the problem.
The first step to any kind of problems solving
is to get outside of the thinking
that is actually creating it.
I have found that solutions to problems
come when you are present.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
One of the first things that you
do when fears and limiting beliefs come up
is to become aware of it.
Without any conscious awareness, nothing can shift.
As best as you can, stop, take a breath,
recognize that you're feeling something,
and get in touch with the body sensations of it.
Get your feet on the floor.
Recognize where the anger or whatever the emotion is.
Is it in your stomach?
Is it in your neck?
Is it in your face?
Is it in your mouth?
And just by stopping to observe it, you'll start to dissipate.
It will start to change.
And some movement, some breathing room
will automatically happen.
And that is done when you are an observer of your life, when
you're a witness.
Being an observer is a very powerful position
to be in for your life, because it takes you
out of just reacting to things.
Most of us are on automatic pilot.
We just go through our days, having the same
occurring thoughts by habit.
The first thing that we've got to do
is to become aware, to become conscious,
to become present in the moment to what our thoughts are.
If you don't become present in the moment to what's going on,
you have no hope of changing for the future.
So one of the most important things we can cultivate
is this sense of self observation,
learning to step back and have kind
of a compassionate detached view of the self.
From that place, then we can apply our tools.
To take the time to also be conscious that I am conscious,
be conscious of the I, as soon as I do that,
then the moment starts to change.
To get still, to get quiet, to move into a place of serenity
and actually listen.
Each and every moment holds infinite possibilities when you
choose to be in that moment.
Most people today are somewhere that they aren't.
I would say the most people's source of stress
is the distance between where they are
and where they're trying to be, or where they're caught up in.
We become stocking in our story about who we are.
And we start to even forget we're really alive.
Once we begin to pay attention to the moment,
then we can reverse that process.
You start to wake up, and you come to life.
There are many ways that you can
practice present time consciousness,
living in the moment.
One, very simply, is the breath.
The mixture and the dance of the breath and movement
brings a person into the moment, being aware of their body.
So the further we travel into the future
with attachment, with fear, the further we travel into the past
with regret or doubt, the more we rob our vitality and energy
in the moment.
The only place where energy exists is now.
The simplest way to start and engage with the process
of waking up is to simply become aware
of the mystery of this moment.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I like to say that there are two major tools.
The first one is morning pages, which is an inner tool.
What they are are three pages of longhand, early morning stream
of consciousness about absolutely anything.
It encourages people to look squarely at their lives.
As people do this, they begin to experience
an alternative to their negative belief system.
NARRATOR 3: You alone are painting
your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.
And the second tool is a tool that I call artist dates.
Now artist dates are fun.
They are an assigned, once-a-week,
solo, festive expedition to do something that interests you.
I believe that when people pursue their creativity,
they are, in effect, pursuing a spiritual path.
They begin to have more intuition.
They begin to have more coincidence.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Intuition is something that can open you up to your gut
feeling, your inner voice.
It's a secret weapon, really, in terms of living life.
Your body is a feedback mechanism.
When you're feeling joy and you're feeling aliveness
and you're feeling enthusiastic and your body's loose
and relaxed and you're ready to play and you're having fun,
that's positive feedback saying on course.
If you're stiff, if you're ill, if you're sick, if you're tired
all the time, if you have migraine headaches, whatever,
that's your body's way of saying what we're doing is off course.
Listening to your body will give
you signals about intuition.
And so if you begin to train yourself, when do I get tired,
when do I feel sick, when do I feel better around someone,
these are all intuitions.
And most people don't look at it that way.
As we become more in touch with ourselves,
we become more deeply in touch with our intuitive guidance.
And I think we find that there is a pathway
and that as we proceed a step at a time, we are led.
Intuition allows you to tune into correct timing.
Intuition is about perfect timing.
It's about going inside, breathing,
centering, and saying, all right,
when does this feel right?
When is the perfect timing for this job
or this project to come to fruition or the soulmate
to come? When is the perfect timing?
And then again, you have to get neutral to an end
and see what the timing is, instead
of constantly getting frustrated about things not happening.
That was huge for me to become present to what was going
on right now, to learn how to follow my intuition,
to recognize what intuition was, that it wasn't just
some crazy, wild idea that came from no where,
that it was being delivered to me for a reason,
and to act on it with just trust,
even though it made no particular sense to me.
By tuning into your intuition, you
will look at in the zone on that path and moving
towards your purpose.
NARRATOR 3: The most important question you'll ever ask
is whether the universe is a friendly place.
One of the most important things
I think people can have in life to support their life
is a belief that this is a friendly universe.
I began to assume at the world is conspiring to my good.
It's all happening to take me to my dreams.
It's all happening to help me evolve.
It's all happening to help me be more aware,
that it's actually all good.
If I know that the universe is always out to support you,
I will look for the lesson and the gift in every circumstance.
As people work with their creativity,
they begin to experience the universe
as a much friendlier place.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So many people in the world are focused
on what's missing in their lives,
rather than on all the amazing things that they have
and that we have collectively.
See, we can only think one thought at a time.
But I get to choose what that thought is going to be.
And I choose to be grateful.
One of the quickest ways to truly manifest everything
you want your life-- and it seems so simple--
but it's just to simply be grateful for everything
you do have.
And I'm talking about the little things,
not all of the obvious things, but just
a feeling of gratitude.
Because from a law of attraction point of view,
if you're in a feeling state of gratitude,
you're attracting more things to be grateful for.
The energy of appreciation is one of the most powerful
vibrations, one of the most magnetic vibrations,
that you can engage in.
And so the more you are grateful,
the more you can attract the things
that you want into your life.
And it's just going to flow naturally.
So be grateful.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Our mind is the most powerful tool that we have.
And it only works when it's open, just like a parachute.
It's like if the parachute's open, it works.
Our mind's the same way.
For me the connection between being in the now
and creating what I want for my life
has a lot to do with acceptance, accepting myself for who
and what I am right now.
The importance of acceptance is this.
We have to allow other people to be the way they are,
and we have to allow ourselves and accept the way we are.
Whenever I'm in judgment of another person,
of a group of people, of myself, of a building
I'm in, whatever it might be.
Judgment is not in alignment with the essence of who I am.
It takes me out of alignment with source.
The trick is to learn to be able to notice things
without putting any tags on them,
because the thing that stops you being successful
are truly the negative judgments.
NARRATOR 3: What you resist, persists.
So often we want to fight or resist our negative thoughts.
That will never get us anywhere.
There's the old saying what we resist persists.
Yeah. So what you resist will persist.
And the reason it persists is because the unconscious mind is
trying to get a message to you. -It is.
The unconscious mind is trying to get a message to you,
hey, change those things you don't like.
-Take action. -Let them go.
Do something.
If we want to transform limiting belief,
one of the first things we say is you cannot fight with it.
And actually trying to fight with it, trying to deny it,
gives it energy.
It's like somebody pushes you, you push them back,
you're actually giving it energy.
So we say you want to reframe it.
You're going to transform it.
The first step is look at the positive intention
behind the belief.
Even a limiting beliefs is there because it's serving
some kind of positive purpose.
The belief I can't do something, the belief I don't
deserve something, behind that is usually
some positive intention.
Let's say protection.
So if you're in a holding pattern of pain, fear, stress,
if you're overwhelmed with challenges,
the first thing is to realize is that that pain,
fear, and challenge, that symtom is a gift.
Strange wrapping paper, but nonetheless a gift
that your body and life is using to help you reconnect to parts
of yourself that you've buried.
Sometimes this involves asking a question.
And it's important to ask the right question.
So if you have a misfortuned or a wound in your past,
instead of saying, well, how terrible is that, say, what
could be the blessing in that?
It trains you to think about it differently.
Anybody who's ever been successful
has had to deal with adversity.
And the way that you transform adversity into opportunity
is through our beliefs.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NLP stands for Neurolinguistic Programming, which
is a sophisticated name for something pretty simple, which
is about how your brain, the neuro, how your mind works, how
that's affected by your language, that's linguistic,
and how those two things determine your behavior.
The best way of saying what an idea is is--
It's the study of excellence.
Study of excellence.
It's how do you become excellent by finding out
how other people who are excellent
perform those excellent behaviors.
A lot of what NLP is about is giving people tools,
so that they can get below the tip of the iceberg,
get below the surface.
NLP has a lot of very, very powerful and effective ways
of helping people to, let's say, update their beliefs,
perhaps reorganize them.
NLP says that, again, our behaviors
are determined by these neurolinguistic programs.
So part of what the whole purpose of NLP is about
is to give people more choices about their own programming,
in a sense, to be able to program themselves.
But think of it, how many choices you make--
-On a daily basis. -Everyday.
From moment to moment.
What choices do you make that empower you,
what choices you make on a daily basis
with just your thinking that empower you,
and what do you make that disempowers you?
How many choices you make unconsciously
that you're not even aware of.
So a big part of what we're doing with NLP
is it's a little bit like you want to take a flashlight,
you're in a dark room, take a flashlight,
your consciousness is what that light is focused on.
And the rest is unconscious.
And if I'm tripping over something, what I'm calling
the belief barrier, I'm tripping over it
because I can't see it, what I want
to be able to do is take that flashlight
and shine it so I can see, oh, there that is,
and then have the capability to be able to move it,
or move it out of the way, or put
it somewhere where it belongs, or maybe even take it apart.
NARRATOR: NLP engages the senses,
seeing, hearing, feeling, to make changes
at the unconscious level.
NLP is really about simply making changes inside
of you and the specific techniques
for making changes inside of you.
Like for example, if you wanted to be a great baseball player,
but you still didn't quite have the strategy
for seeing the ball as it came towards you, what would you do?
Well, NLP has the answer to that.
It's the same thing.
How would you be a great businessman?
How would you create a great relationship?
Would be the things you would do inside
your head so that it created the behavior outside you
so that it was what you wanted?
NARRATOR: Seeing, hearing, feeling is believing.
One of my affirmations right now
is I'm joyfully talking to audiences
of 10,000 people or more.
And so that means that I'm in front of 10,000 people
and experiencing the joy of having that
is if it's already a done deal.
So if I were to close my eyes and visualize that and say
those words and feel the feelings of getting a standing
ovation from 10,000 people, then what that would do
is attract to me this experience.
If we take the idea of a positive affirmation,
positive affirmation is essentially
the linguistic part.
It is the language.
You say something over and over again.
That's not the neurolinguistic part.
To say something over and over again in the head
is not necessarily going to get it into the muscle,
into the body.
So with NLP, you're engaging something
beyond just the verbal part.
You're engaging the senses.
You're engaging the body.
So I'm saying there's a somatic mind.
So you have to put yourself in a situation
where you're feeling what you would feel if you already
had this thing you want.
So I create a movie scene of the event
that I want to see myself experiencing.
And maybe it's only two, three, or five minutes.
And I'm literally playing the scene in my mind.
And I'm watching it unfold in my mind.
So I'm going through the motions.
I'm seeing this exact event happening in my life.
i'm walking through it.
I'm experiencing it as if I'm watching a movie,
only I am the main character in that movie,
so it's like a scene of the life that I choose to experience.
The other thing I have control over is my images.
So I can imagine I'm going to go out and give a speech,
and I can imagine that I'm going to fall
on my face and stutter and trip and people
are going to laugh at me.
Or I can imagive I'm going to go out and give a great speech
and get a standing ovation.
I have control over those images.
So what you do with NLP is you're actually, for example,
using awareness of your internal imagery,
you're actually bringing those empowering beliefs more
into the body.
I think some things we can have fears
and you imagine the thing that you want.
And you feel afraid, what if it doesn't happen?
Or you feel fear, like surely this can't happen for me.
Well, fear and humor cannot exist in the same space.
It's one or the other.
So what I often do-- and this makes the visualizations fun.
It makes the movie scene in my mind fun,
is I create a victory dance.
So halfway through my image, if I get to a really good part
of my scene where I'm imagining the thing that I want, just
to make sure there's no fear or stress or negativity there,
I get to a good part in it where I really see myself achieving
something, and then I break into a wee dance,
just a dance I've choreagraphed for myself,
just something kind of silly and daft, something that makes me
smile, that fills me with humor, so that every time I imagine
the thing that I want, instead of feeling
fear or stress about it, it actually makes me smile.
So what you want to do is surround yourself
with external images of everything you want,
and then close your eyes and bring that internal.
And again, feel the feelings you would feel if you had that
that's such a critical part.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Imagine this for a moment, that you have inside of you
a time machine that allows you to go back
and revisit stuff in the past.
And it allows you to go out in the future
and to create those things that you want in your future.
And you do, because you know the difference between today,
yesterday, two weeks ago, two years ago, or 20 years ago.
So how do you know the difference is
how you internally store time.
And that's called your timeline.
That's called your timeline.
With timeline therapy what we do is we
go using the timeline therapy technique, which
is kind of like a time machine.
We get into our own personal time machine.
And we go back and we let go stuff in the past that prevents
us from having what we want in the future,
like negative emotions, limiting beliefs,
and limiting decisions.
And then we go forward into the future,
and we discover how to create what we want in the future.
One of the key NLP tools is what we call a timeline.
I get a sense of where is my future.
Is it there, is it there?
Very often for people their future has a certain location
in front of them.
And then begin to create mental imagery, not just the words,
but what is it going to look like,
what is it going to sound like, what is it going to feel like,
if I am manifesting that belief.
NARRATOR: Timeline therapy allows
you to go back to the root cause of a problem
and heal an issue which is blocking you.
Once we've discovered where the timeline is, if we're wanting
to assist a person to let go of a negative belief
about not being able to make enough money, for example,
we'd simply have him float above the timeline
and go back in the past before that belief occurred.
He would then look at the event below him and in front of him
as he looked along the timeline toward now.
And all this process happens while the person imagines
floating above the timeline.
Again, this is something that you
could do in your imagination.
You've probably floated in your dreams
or imagined you were flying in your dream.
And the process is simply the same.
So we float above the timeline, we go back in the past
before the event occurred, and we notice it disappears.
NARRATOR: Releasing issues from the past with timeline therapy
allows you to change the limiting beliefs
in the present.
This is really interesting.
I had one guy from Canada.
And he had $50 to his name.
And two years later, his net worth was over $2 million.
Now, this was a gentleman in his 60s.
This was a guy in his 60s who though he couldn't do anything.
He thought before he couldn't do anything.
He was Pakistani gentleman, and today
he's worth over $2 million.
Now, that's not an unusual story.
NARRATOR: When you heal the past through timeline therapy,
you clear a path to go forward in your timeline and set goals
for your future.
So once you have a goal and you thought of it carefully
and it's specified and it's time and it's perfectly tuned
so that it's exactly about what you want, then if you drop
that goal into the timeline-- -Into your future.
Into your future timeline at an absolute specific time,
then who's going to be in charge of creating
the conditions in and around you,
so that it attracts that goal towards you?
And that's your unconscious mind.
This is actually the mechanics of the law of attraction.
This is the mechanics.
You simply discover your future timeline,
where it is, you look at what you want,
you create what you want, you envision it if you
make pictures in your head.
If you don't, you can talk about it.
If you don't, you can feel it.
And then you put it right out there in your future.
Putting it right out there in your future
is going to cause it to happen.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Another very powerful tool in changing your subconscious mind
is the process of hypnosis.
NARRATOR: Hypnosis is a state you enter into naturally
every day while watching an exciting movie,
reading a good book, or daydreaming.
You can actually go into what is called alphastate.
It's just a deep relaxation.
It's not trance, or something uncontrollable,
just a deep relaxation, and then visualize
the end results you want.
Just take a deep breath and release it
and let the hypnosis empower it in your subconscious mind.
NARRATOR: Hypnosis has been used by medical doctors
and other health care providers for over 50 years
to access the power of the subconscious mind.
Hypnosis is about communicating with,
connecting with, and discovering your unconscious mind.
We don't believe and we don't teach hypnosis
as power over somebody else.
We don't believe in that concept, first of all.
-It's not that. -We don't believe.
But we believe that hypnosis is very, very useful, first
of all, in learning how to discover what is it that
runs unconsciously inside you.
Deep inside me, how do I get in touch with that?
Because if the unconscious mind is in charge of our behavior,
and by the way, it is.
If the unconscious mind is in charge of our learning--
And it is.
If the unconscious mind is in charge
of all change that we make--
And it is.
Then that would be a really good part of us to get to know.
And hypnosis is about discovering how to communicate
with the unconscious mind and being
able to communicate with that very intimate and deep
part of who you are.
So that when conscious mind and unconscious mind together
get aligned. -They work together.
And conscious mind, for the first time
maybe in many people's lives, conscious mind
for the first time acknowledges what are the negative thoughts,
emotions, behaviors that block us.
When you're aligned, when your identity and your beliefs
and your capabilities are aligned,
we call that being in the zone.
What hypnosis does is it allows you to get beyond the barrier
between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind,
so that you can begin to discover some
of the things that are in the unconscious mind,
so that you can get rid of them to be able to manifest
and create what you want.
If you can manifest what you want,
then your conscious mind and your unconscious mind
are aligned.
The thinking is aligned consciously and unconsciously.
NARRATOR: Hypnosis allows you to change
subconscious programs which prevent you from having what
you want.
You can do restructuring hypnosis, where you go back
and you rewrite the script.
You can actually reprogram, so that when you visualize
yourself being criticized by someone,
you can stand up and get taller and say, you know what?
I don't allow that anymore.
And you walk out of the picture.
And you take your power back.
I think hypnosis and timeline therapy
and NLP are really good ways of the how.
How do you actually make change in yourself so that it sticks?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
The other technique that I really love
is called EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique.
So this is a technique that I can use
and you can use that'll bring you back into the moment,
because when you're feeling something,
you've given meaning to something,
and now you're disturbed by what's going on in the moment,
you're not in the moment.
You're not present anymore.
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique.
And what it is is it's a way of tapping on certain points
in the body that actually are base around the meridians that
have to do with fear and so forth.
And they literally disappear.
It's like taking the dominoes out.
Remember those things in school where
they would line up 100 dominoes and know them all over?
Well, if you take four out, it just stops.
Stops the fear, stops the limiting beliefs.
It's a tapping technique.
It's basically treating your body
as if it's an energy system.
And instead of using acupuncture to open up the energy centers,
you're using a tapping to open up the energy centers.
So all these different tools, EFT, breathing, NLP, hypnosis,
these are wonderful tools at your disposal
to help you go back into the moment and be present.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
OK, so how to get out of your own way.
You've realized that you have obstacles in your world
that you've self-created, you realize that you've attracted
everything into your own life based
on your unconscious belief, you realize
that you have to be in this point of power to be present.
Here's the thing that you have to remember.
Whatever information you were given as a child,
if it does not honor you and does not
empower you authentically, it is not your truth.
NARRATOR 3: We must not allow other people's
limited perceptions to define us.
If you're not creating what you want in your future,
if you're not manifesting what you want,
or if you're not attracting those things that you want
to you, then there's still some incongruency in your past,
and that needs to be cleaned up.
The process of timeline therapy and letting
go of whatever limitations you have on your, which
are your negative and limiting beliefs,
negative thoughts, negative behaviors, all of those things
that keep you prisoner, keep you into a box.
And those things, if you want to let go of them,
you will find many solutions you've never thought of before.
You will find many strategies you never utilized.
They were inside you before that,
but you were never aware of them.
And the purpose of NLP is to transform hopelessness
into optimism, obviously, to hope, to faith, to trust,
to transform helplessness into confidence,
and worthlessness into self-esteem.
I find if I get people doing morning pages, artist dates,
and walking, that they sort of wake up
to the fact that they don't have to dream of someday
being able to do something.
They can do a little bit of something each day.
What intuition can do, it can allow you to be centered
and true and strong and clear.
And so when you tap into it, that
keeps you right in the vortex of your purpose.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
In my studies of genius, I've written three books strategies
of genius from Mozart, Einstein, Leonardo DaVinci, Walt Disney.
One of the things that you find about every genius
is that there was a sense of being a channel for something
bigger than themselves.
We've each got this polarity to our nature.
On the one hand, we're completely particular.
We each have a particular place in space and time,
unique to ourselves.
No one else can inhabit it.
Unique body, unique characteristsics.
And then there's the other pole, which is completely universal.
And that's the deeper self, where
you and I are completely one.
And there's nothing to separate us.
Everything and everyone is interconnected to everything
and everyone else.
The more I realize my oneness with all that is,
the more I can express it.
So the waking up happens when we become
conscious of this deeper self.
Inherently, we feel that call to oneness,
we feel the called to our soul.
And I think in the end, it's the only thing
that's going to satisfy.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Action is a statement that I believe,
because I wouldn't expend energy if it
wasn't something I believed in.
So part of belief is taking action.
If you're waiting for the perfect time
or all the answers, you're never going to take action.
I don't have to see the whole plan.
I don't have to see the whole staircase,
as Martin Luther King said.
But I can take the first step.
NARRATOR 3: Do you really want to look back on your life
and see how wonderful it could've been had
you not been afraid to live it.
You know, it's not necessarily about where you get to.
It's about are you enjoying the trip along the way?
If we can stop tightening up and lighten up,
we can enjoy the dream.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
'
We believe that it's your birthright
to achieve everything you want to achieve in life.
Just make that choice.
Right here, right now.
Make it from where you are in this moment.
Now I get to lead my own life.
I get to determine what my life will be.
I think a lot of people don't know
that it's an option to just change your point of view.
It's an arbitrary thing to begin with.
Thos limiting beliefs?
Just don't let them stop you.
NARRATOR 3: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
All of our lives are meant to be artful.
They're meant to be filled with creativity.
They're meant to be filled with passion and with humor.
The greatest things of our life is a result of quantum
leap, ah-ha, surprise.
Remember that.
As I've woken up to this dream, I feel like I'm actually
beginning to finally enjoy it.
We can shift our lives in any direction
that we truly choose to.
You can do anything if you believe you can.
