The art of mental programming: strengthen the power of your mind through relaxation
Burt Goldman’s patented form of mind programming and visualization through the alpha level is the key to achieving your goals and getting what you want.
* You visualize what you don’t want and mentally diminish it, eventually deleting it.
* Then you visualize what you want, imagining the goal accomplished.
But to amplify and empower your mind you must go to the alpha level by lowering your brain waves.
That is the time to program for change.
By programming for a goal, you are sending a message to the universe that you want something you don’t have or want to get rid of something you do have.
This message travels in the same way that a radio or television program is broadcast, the station sends out waves of energy.
The energy wave travels in all directions until it reaches some type of receiving device, a radio or television set. If the frequency or amplitude of the waves and the receiver match, an adaptation occurs and the program manifests itself.
So it is with your own programming. When you program, using the various techniques you’ll find here, you must be in output mode.
When you receive, you must be in receptive inbound mode. Constant programming will keep you in outgoing mode.
While you are transmitting, you cannot receive. You have to put yourself in responsive mode at some point to attract the outcome you are programming for.
Expect it to happen and it is more likely to happen.
As with so many facets of life, the mandate “Ask and it shall be given to you”; it is much more effective when performed at the ten-cycle alpha mental level.
center stage
One of the most versatile and effective programming techniques in my repertoire is Center Stage. You can use Center Stage to get something you want or to get rid of something you don’t want.
The essence of the technique is this:
Consider for a moment what it is you want. Think only about the end result. Not contemplating how to do to reach the final result; just imagine having made it. If there’s something that’s getting in the way of that achievement, think about that too. When you visualize yourself with the positive result of your programming, visualize the date on which you want the action to take place.
This is how the Center Stage technique works in three acts.
* Go to the alpha level (center yourself) by counting down from three to one, then from ten to one.
* Visualize yourself outside a theater.
* Enter the theater and take a seat in the center of the third row.
Act I
Imagine that the curtain is closed and you are sitting comfortably. When that image settles in your mind, visualize the opening of the curtain and then project yourself onto the stage. Bring the people who are involved in the problem to the stage as actors in the drama. Imagine the landscape, the setting; Bring appropriate accessories. Now represent your problem.
After going through the scene, project yourself back to your seat and visualize the curtain closing. When the curtain is closed, mentally write a big red NO on the curtain and mentally say, “Any past feelings that are holding me back in that scene, I now release.” Feel those feelings go away from you and see how it feels when you get rid of them.
During the second act you will set the tone to make your way easier. Most hits are preset patterns. The more you do something, the easier it becomes. Your goal in the second act is to remove all limitations from you so that you can go beyond your normal abilities and most of all set the pattern for success.
During the second act of Center Stage, you will use an alter ego to pave the way for you.
Think for a moment: if you could choose any character, living or not, real or fictional, to represent you in a play about your life, who would you choose? This player will be your alter ego and will represent the solution to your problem during Act II of Center Stage.
You have already determined the positive end result of your program; during Act II you will stand in the center of the third row while your alter ego enacts the scene.
You are both the director and the author, and you can mentally change the action at any time.
Act II
The curtain opens.
Your alter ego is playing your role. You start the action. Visualize your alter ego succeeding in whatever you are programming. See the action.
If you’re scheduling for a new job, for example, see your alter ego at the new job, sitting at your desk or performing your tasks on a stage to represent your desired work environment.
Have the players act out all the activities of your accomplished goal. Now bring a target date: listen to a voice say, “This will happen for [target date].” After setting the date, close the curtain.
Mentally write on the curtain the word BEST and mentally say: “This is how I want it to be.”
Now that the pattern has been set, all that’s left is to do it yourself, and that’s where Center Stage Act III comes in. During Act III, you will replay the scene in exactly the same way as your alter ego did. The pattern has been established. You bring in the same date.
This time, however, the positive final result of his realized program will be projected onto the stage and acted out.
act III
The curtain opens.
You project yourself onto the stage and act out the solution to your problem in the same way that your alter ego did in Act II. Bring in the same target date. After enacting the positive end result with yourself in the main role, project yourself back to your seat in the center of the third row.
The curtain closes and you mentally write on the curtain, getting better and better. Mentally indicate: “So it will be.”
That is the Stage Technical Center.
I recommend doing Center Stage three times for each of your objectives. Run through the Center Stage once a day for three consecutive days.
On the first day he performs Acts I, II and III; the second day, do only acts II and III; and on the third day, perform only Act III. Act I is displayed only once for each problem.
You want to focus on the solution.
Case study: From bankruptcy to success in four months
Bart Alexander was a gentleman who had recently declared bankruptcy and for a year had languished at home feeling sorry for himself.
A friend brought him to my seminar, and Bart showed some interest in some of my ideas. But Center Stage’s scheduling exercise was, he said, “too far-fetched to accept.”
That was fine with me, as many of my instructors had been skeptical when they first heard of such techniques. I welcome skeptics as long as they keep an open mind and take a wait-and-see attitude.
Bart was skeptical, but participated in the Center Stage exercise, scheduling as the end result a thriving business and a new car (specifically, a gold Lexus LS430).
He wasn’t sure what business he wanted to be in as long as it wasn’t his old one, so for his bottom line he envisioned himself sitting in a fancy office and talking on the phone, feet up on the desk (only the boss puts his feet up with impunity). ). He also saw himself writing checks, going to the bank, and getting the new Lexus from him.
He visualized himself being admired in his new car and mentally saw all the positive actions of a successful businessman. He felt a bit silly doing the exercise, he said later, but considered the fact that millions of people around the world have been using positive thinking concepts to solve problems and program for more than thirty years; he decided to wait. -and-see attitude.
He called me four months later to excitedly inform me: “It all happened. Everything! I can’t figure it out. It doesn’t make sense to me, but here I am in my fancy office, running a successful business: and oh yeah, I have a brand new Lexus in a parking spot with my name on it.”
