The Key To Transformational Embodiment About 30 years ago I began searching for the universal ”skeleton key” to transformational change. By the mid-1990s I had come to the conclusion that the ”key” to transformational change was part of what I began calling the somatic ground of being ... embodiment ... the foundation of ontological experience and awareness. This led to an approach using somatic interventions to instigate ontological transformation. I remember sitting in the “Hypnotorium” with Roye at the front doing something with someone, a piece of profound transformational hypnosis. This is very different from what many think of as hypnosis, i.e.: “You are getting sleepy … your eyes are getting heavy, tired, and they want to close … just let them close, NOW … going deeper into a deep, deep sense of relaxation … let yourself float down, even deeper, still …” and then some suggestions about stopping smoking or losing weight, or some other habit interruption and Continue Reading
Pathways To A High Ticket Coaching Or Consulting Practice
Or … The Gravesian Way To Making A Great Living As A Coach/Consultant/Trainer … Okay … the idea of the Venn Diagram isn’t mine, but the commentary around it is … Let’s take a closer look together … shall we? Most of the “Build Your Coaching Business Gurus” will point you towards what I’m calling out as the “Graves Six” position where you supposedly make money by pursuing your passion … e.g.: “Your Million Dollar Message” B.S. BUT … while you can indeed make money by overlapping “What You’re Passionate About” resides and where “What Your Clients Want and Are Willing To Pay Handsomely To Get” overlap … there ain’t no guarantee that’s gonna happen … BECAUSE there’s no guarantee that what you’re passionate about … or your message, life story, insights, calling, whatever … is going to resonate with what customers and clients are willing to pay handsomely for today. Now if you notice most of these “Gurus” are following the path that most of the Continue Reading
My comments on Social Ontology
[NOTE: Copied from http://blognostra.blogspot.in/2005/08/re-sv-mythoself-tm-my-comments-on.html ... reposted here in full. Response on mythoself-tm@yahoogroups.com in response to the Social Ontology blog at www.blognostra.blogspot.com – simultaneously posted in both forums. - JSR] Robert, Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; I must admit I don’t “get it” ... a lot of words and little point. You the “master” of “simplicity” taking so many words to say so little. I appreciate that Najma loved it so it of course may just be me, but with absolute honesty I don’t get it ... at least in relation to Social Ontology ... or even the ordinary construction of logical connections. First, as always with you, I accept that this is ultimately a trance-lation from Swedish into Swenglish ... (pronounced either ‘swing-lish’ or ‘sweng-lish’ if you prefer, for those who want to know). I also accept that Najma Continue Reading
Freedom is just another word …
... and Freeing Your Mind is where to start! When I think about "freedom" I think about something that goes beyond place and time. For instance most folks think of freedom as: The ability to do what they want, when they want, where they want, whenever they want ... or something like that from my observations. But, that presupposes something that is very typically missing more often than not ... the fundamental ability to have a choice in the first place. Ah, but there's the rub ... To begin with to have a choice you must first be free of preconceived notions and knee-jerk responses, and so few of us are even a little bit free of those bits of installed mind programs. From the very beginning, maybe even in the womb, we are being programmed with what to like or dislike, what is good or bad, what to desire or reject ... and on and on. Yet we think the things we choose are our preferences most of the time, and not just pre-conditioned responses. If only that were true Continue Reading
