Hi mark I am wondering before you do swish patterns and other NLP techniques, don’t we really have to clear our fears with the Timeline Therapy Techniques™?

When we worked together 1:1 and I was able to allow joy to come in my life for the first time, it was a good start but my other issues about living life and business issues are still coming up.

When a fear comes up should I do Timeline on myself with the issue to get it clear first?  In other words what is the checklist to follow for tools to use when a fear arises that is holding me back?  I feel at this point I  should be able to use the tools I am learning in your course and what I picked up at our breakthrough session .

I really understand that we are the only ones that can cure ourselves.  Thanks so much.

Here’s my response:

An important Key to NLP Success: As long as we’re alive stuff will come up. It’s like your Unconscious Mind  “gets” that it can release stuff now and so it keeps offering up new “layers” to be addressed. I also want to remind us all that when we do make a major shift to not discount it or negate it just because there is still more work to do. There will always be more to shift. That why it’s so cool to have a wide choice of NLP tools to choose from.

I find that when I clear something with timeline it typically stays cleared if I have gotten the root cause event. Sometimes, I’ve had to go back and clear a slightly different limiting decision that seemed to have the same root cause.

I prefer to do time line therapy techniques ® to clear the limiting decision and chain of negative emotions first. Then I’ll use the swish pattern to “program” the new response I want into my neurology. If you do a Swish pattern enough times it’s cool because the old negative “knee-jerk” trigger will now bring up the desired state or picture.

It’s hard to give a “check-list” of first do a. then b. then c. I tend to follow my intuition with what to do when.

What I love about NLP, Hypnosis, Time Line and EFT is that I can do a lot of things on my own to clear stuff that comes up at the moment it gets in my face. That’s one reason I truly believe in teaching my clients how to take charge of their own change rather than see me as the “curer” or “healer”.  That said, sometimes though we just can’t get enough leverage on our selves to shift something.  At those moments it can save a lot of time and angst to get help from a trained practitioner of NLP.

In those cases, I find it a lot easier to have someone else do it with me. That’s yet another benefit of the NLP Training because you not only learn how to do the NLP techniques on your own for yourself and for other people, but you actually get to take turns with the other students in being the “client” in our 4 day bootcamp. So you can clear a lot of your own stuff in the process of learning NLP. You also make friends with other people who “get” you and who are interested in clearing their own issues and blocks. So it makes a lot of sense to come to the training and then do trades afterward with the students you meet.

If I’m in a moment of  “challenge” and I just need to shift something immediately, I  use EFT.  I tap and speak the “set up phrase” LOUDLY! It seems the more emotion I have towards clearing something the more powerful EFT tapping is. If you’d like to learn more about EFT click here:  Get a free EFT Starter package

Here’s an example:

“Even though I thought I’d cleared this @#^&*$%!@$*%$!@# problem, I deeply and completely accept myself!”
I do a couple rounds unashamedly focusing on the problem and wallowing loudly in the whiny victim mode as much as I want while tapping the EFT acupressure points. I have so much fun with this that often that’s enough to snap me out of my funk!

Then I start feeding in positive how and why questions like:
“Even though I haven’t yet found and released the root cause event of this challenge, why do I deeply and completely accept myself?”

Finally I just tap on

“Why do I deeply and completely accept myself and why does it work out better than I can possibly imagine?”
“Why do I love myself? Why do I attract all the resources and assistance I need to clear this once and for all?”
Why do I resolve this in a way that’s even better than I can possibly imagine?”
etc.
Usually EFT clears  pretty much everything from headaches to limiting beliefs.

If it doesn’t do the job for a particular issue I will next use swish patterns and other NLP submodalities techniques to get relief.

If I’m still not shifting the issue, then I will call one of my students/colleagues and get them to do Time Line Therapy with me. Sometimes I can do Time line by myself but I tend to space out and drift off unless someone is there keeping me on track.

Depending upon the issue, when I can’t get enough leverage on my “stuff” by myself, I call Joann Dunsing or Joe Schroder or Kathy McAfee or Kim Kasperian.

Remember that Tiger Woods has a coach and Michael Jordan had a coach. One of my greatest and most humbling lessons is that sometimes it saves a lot of time and money to get with someone who can get you the results you can’t always get on your own.

I have even just handed the Time Line Therapy™ script to someone who knew nothing about it and just had them read the damn thing. It worked like a charm because it kept me on task. The script doesn’t do the clearing, we do. So as you learn various techniques approach using them on your own issues or “stuff” with an attitude of wanton curiosity and playfulness.

I hope that answered the question and was helpful for those of you who are working to “Defeat The Dark Side In Your Personal And Professional Life. Master Your Mind For A Change with NLP!” )

Why does it work out better than you can possibly imagine?

One of the challenges with anxiety or depression or any other stuck state is to find a way to break out of the neurological pattern or “Program”.

NLP ( Neuro Linguistic Programming ) is all about “pattern interrupts” which give us behavioral choices. Change your physiology and it changes your internal world. change your internal world and it changes your physiology. The mind and the body are totally linked. We also have a choice of what to focus on and what to do in response to any external situation.

A friend of mine, Melanie Rudolph has recently introduced me to a growing movement cal

led Laughter Yoga which fits right in to the idea of change your physiology and your behavior and it changes your reality and experience of the world. (key NLP concepts BTW)

Give me 2 hours on the phone and I’ll give you back your life. Guaranteed.

Have you ever had an idea that was so good and so powerful that it just jolted you up out of bed first thing in the morning? That happened to me today so please forgive me if I get excited about what you are about to read.

Here’s the scoop:

On Thursday November 20 at 7:00 pm Eastern US Time you are invited to join me on a powerful phone call where I will walk you and only 19 other folks step by step through each of my powerful and easy to remember, PROVEN anxiety and stress busting techniques. I’m calling it: “Stop Anxiety Now!”

On this call I will reveal all 17 of my rapid anxiety busting secrets for the 20 people who are most serious about blasting through anxiety and worry now. This week. Not in a while. Not, after weeks and weeks of endless talking about your problem. Now! This Thursday night between 7:00 and 9:00 PM Eastern.

Warning: This is not a “FREE” call. But it is absurdly affordable.

This is not one of those thinly disguised marketing calls where you get teased with just enough info to get hooked into buying some expensive seminar or product. This is real, life changing substance.

On this call I hold nothing back. You get exclusive access to every single usable tool to crush stress, fear, worry and anxiety that I use with my one on one clients as well as in my own life on a daily basis. I personally used every one of these techniques to blast through my fear and anxiety around performing the songs I’ve written over 30 years. I still use these techniques to manage any stray shreds of anxiety about the economy or my teen age children. Every parent experiences worry. It doesn’t have to destroy your life.

You get it all at a fraction of the cost of working with me one on one (1:1)

Normally you would pay $500 per hour to get the benefit of working with me. The results I get with even long term phobia and anxiety sufferers has been proven over and over again to be worth every penny.

You were of REALLY GREAT HELP to me!!! All the best. – Inga

Thanks dude. It may sound simple and crazy but it does work… good stuff man! – ssips720

Wicked! Seriously man that was so helpful. I was dreading work today and was also feeling down because another job I applied for were not getting back to me. Using just one anxiety technique I instantly felt better and then I received 2 emails, one saying work was canceled today, and another stating I’ve got an interview! It’s so good thinking the best instead of the worst – Badger

Thank you! It does really help. You are a great man! – neskasis

I’m 17 and it seems like most of my day is filled with unhappy thoughts and it really prevents me from having any fun. And after using your  NLP anxiety technique I am usually able to really lower my anxiety level. So I just wanted to write to you and thank you for your help. – Micah

I just wanted to thank You… very helpful with lots of great information. Peace. – Loyd

Check it out for yourself. It’s perfectly natural to be skeptical. Particularly if you’ve tried “everything” and still suffer from debilitating anxiety. Most people mistakenly believe that it takes a long time to change. I’m not promising you will never encounter stress or challenges in your life. That would be absurd. What I do promise is that you will have a whole new set of easy to use tools to deal with the stuff life flings at you.

if you are not 100% satisfied with the program your dough will be on it’s way back to you the very next day.

All you have to lose is your fear, worry, and anxiety. Guaranteed. For only $97.

What psychotherapist or coach has ever offered you this kind of deal? They want their $150 bucks every week and the longer you take to get better…the better for them. Meanwhile you’ve been suffering just talking about it each week.

But now for less than $100 bucks

• You get 2 hours with me in a small, safe group. ($1,000 value)
• You get the entire “17 Rapid Change Secrets” manual and audio set that I normally sell for $97 ($97 value)
• You get my “StressBuster” CD ($47 value)
• You get my “Eyes on the Horizon CD” with some of my best original songs with NLP language patterns embedded in the lyrics so you feel better just driving down the road listening ($20 value)

If you can’t make this call or if the class is full by the time you read this.  RELAX! If there is an overwhelming response (which I think there just might be), I may be open to other time slots to accommodate folks from the UK, Australia etc. You could also just register to get the bonus package. I regularly sell that for exactly the same price but this way you’ll get the additional recording of the call.

I may possibly offer this again in the future. There’s no guarantee of that but there’s no need to get anxious about whether you can get in to a call to stop anxiety. You know what I mean right? Once the class is full I will put any one else who wants in, on a waiting list and you’ll get first crack on any spot that opens up or if I decided to do another call, you’ll get first notice before anyone else.

So just go for it. Here’s the button to register.

You will be given instructions on how to download the bonuses and the number and passcode for the call.

Talk to you Thursday!

Mark

p.s. if for some reason even the mere $97 bucks for this call seems like something you can’t do, that’s why you need this call. Your mind and your money are totally linked. But I appreciate what that’s like. Been there. done that.

You can still watch my anxiety treatment video series for free. Anxiety Treatment Video Series

You can watch and listen to my Clear the Fear Song

So no matter what, do not allow your fears and anxiety about releasing your fears and anxiety to stop you from releasing your fears and anxiety. Take action. Don’t take my word for it. Test it yourself in your own life.

I got a comment today on my “How To Stop Anxiety in 10 minutes” video series. The questions were so well put and a perfect example of the questions I often get on this natural anxiety treatment nlp technique that I thought it would be helpful to share with you.

1. What happens if the fear that it won’t have a positive outcome comes back to you?
   
2. Also, when you go 15 minutes into the future should you float above that event or imagine literally you being 15 minutes into the future?
   
3. Also, should you imagine the stressful event as not stressful when you float above it?

– badskroy71

Thanks for your questions!

1. What happens if the fear that it won’t have a positive outcome comes back to you? Fear that using the technique won’t have a positive outcome is exactly what you do that creates anxiety in the first place. It’s a catch 22 and a negative double bind. First do the technique on the technique itself! go out 15 minutes after the successful experience of using the technique and look back seeing it work.
2. Also, when you go 15 minutes into the future should you float above that event or imagine literally you being 15 minutes into the future?When you are out in the future up above the event you want to be 15 minutes farther out looking down and back rather then right above the event.
3. Also, should you imagine the stressful event as not stressful when you float above it? And yes, instead of imagining the stressful event as stressfull which your body experiences as real, use your powerful imagination to create a positive, desired outcome.

The whole point of this exercise is that we are creating anxiety with our “worst case scenario thoughts” but because of the position above and beyond the event on the time line this tool is 100 X more effective than positive thinking.

Your body will feel the difference.

Sometimes I have to go waaaaaay out and look waaaaaay back. Play with that and leave a comment below to let me know how it worked for you.

Thanks again for your questions and have an awesome day!

Yours,
