We’ve all got one – that critic on your shoulder who makes sure you know exactly how rubbish you are in life, just when you most need to find your cheerleader-in-a-closet. And we do everything we can to eliminate that inner loudspeaker of negative self talk. But what if there were a way to sort your inner critic, once and for all? And what if you could get started – and make a noticeable difference – in the next five minutes? [Read more…] about 3 Surefire Ways To Let Go Of Negative Self-Talk
Are you hungry to make changes in your life?
Is it time to dive in and just do it?
Would you be prepared to dedicate the month of August to making the shifts your soul has been dreaming of this year?
Then our August 2013 Soul-Sized Living Inner Circle might be for you.
I’m prepared to make a commitment to you – a massive commitment.
I’m offering to give you my time, my support and my shortcuts – to share the insider secrets that have taken me decades to discover, to help you make significant shifts in your life this August.
With love,
Does it feel big and scary and exciting? Great! That’s perfect? It means you’re dreaming big enough! This Inner Circle will help you make those shifts.
Doesn’t feel scary and exciting? Then this Group Mentoring Programme probably isn’t where you’re at yet. And that’s ok.
We’ll ‘meet’ via a Skype conference call each morning at 06:45 (UK time) for a 15 minute guided meditation or mindfulness exercise. This is a key part of this Group Mentoring Programme. It sets the energy for your day and helps you to open up for the shifts you have been dreaming of. Calls are recorded, so you can listen again at any time. If you’re not excited enough about shifting your life to get up at show up at 6:45, that’s ok. But then this programme isn’t for you. 🙂 |
|
Each week we’ll have an evening Skype conference call, where I share and teach some unique life-changing techniques. These insider secrets will help you to fast-track your way towards living Soul-Sized. These are some of the most transformational techniques I have developed and honed over the past decades, to help you make deep-acting change in your life. You’ll get a weekly ‘project’ at the end of the call, to help you keep your focus each week and to make sure your shifts work as deeply as possible. Just imagine the impact this could have. This is the stuff I only usually share with one-to-one personal mentoring clients, and even then I only share some of it. The calls are recorded, so you can still catch up if you miss one – and you can listen again, to make sure you get the most from the sessions. |
|
Each week we’ll have an optional (though highly-recommended) Q&A Coaching Session. This is your chance to ask questions, get answers and support others in the group, as you work your way through the month’s projects. It’s a live mentoring session and it’s often where we make the biggest shifts. |
|
You’ll have total support via the exclusive Inner Circle area of our private online community. This is so important. It will help you to melt away any blocks or barriers that come up for you – and it gives you somewhere to celebrate your successes, in a way that those you live with every day might not understand. |
|
You’ll have the support of email coaching with me. If ‘stuff’ comes up or you have questions about what we’re doing, you can drop me an email and I’ll do my utmost to get back to you within 24 hours (weekdays). To be honest, you’ll probably not need this, but it’s there, to give you extra moral support, if you do. |
|
Each week you’ll get an exclusive guided visualisation deep relaxation MP3, to listen to (optional) as you fall asleep. This helps you to melt away those barriers, to release those limiting beliefs and to take things to the next level – effortlessly! |
Are you ready to invest in yourself and dive in, to do this work, to make the shifts you have been dreaming of?
Yes?
This programme is only open to those who are prepared to make the commitment to themselves – and the others in the group – to show up and to use this stuff.
There’s no point in applying if you’re only going to be half-hearted about this.
The only person who can create change in your life is you.
My role in this is to make it as easy as possible for you! In fact, it’s what I specialise in. 🙂
If your heart is calling you to dive in and make those transformational shifts, fill in the application form below. Once I have reviewed it, I’ll let you know if you have a place on the programme within 48 hours (weekdays).
You’ll get an invoice to make your payment. Once your payment has arrived, your place is guaranteed and you’ll get all the details you need for the course, as well as some pre-course questions, to help you dive in and get ready to make the most of August this year!
I’d love to have you join us for this exciting Inner Circle.

Week Four Resources
In today’s message we’re talking about:
I’m not sure that whoever or whatever created us human beings intended us to use our mind – our consciousness – for so much worrying and stressed-out thinking. I’m pretty sure that the intention was to allow us to experience whatever we choose, but that those experiences should be balanced with happiness, light-hearted fun and a good dollop of love.
Where did it all go so wrong?
Perhaps with this number one mistake that most of us are making in life: taking life too seriously.
Life isn’t meant to be taken as seriously as our thinking minds would have us believe.
In the Western culture, most of us have trained our minds to analyse, critique, evaluate, recount stories, worry, remember facts and spot problems. There’s no problem with all of this, unless it squeezes out our natural ability to have fun, laugh, look for the positives and have a light heart.
Taking life too seriously is a Western addiction.
To turn things around, it’s time to lovingly retrain your mind to enjoy life, instead of continuing to train it to spot all of the reasons why you “should” feel stressed.
You might need to practise giving yourself permission first, if you’re not used to allowing yourself to have fun.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to spend ten minutes a day doing something that you really love – something that lifts your heart and brings a grin to your face. Doing it mindfully – with full, present-moment awareness – allows you to go even more deeply into the experience.
Allow sunshine to wash through your day-to-day thoughts. Nurture thoughts that help you to feel good. It doesn’t take long to shift that old pattern. Play with smiling more than you frown.
Want to be guided through a gentle visualisation, to help you wash a wave of sunshine through those stressful thoughts?
What did you discover? Any insights? Any questions?
How could you adapt this technique, to let it really work for you?
Thinking Sunshine Thoughts
Remember back on Day 15 when we were talking about how we believe the stories we tell ourselves?
Well, unsurprisingly, things go a level deeper than that.
What we believe and the stories we tell ourselves form a cycle that helps to keep us stressed:
We believe the stories we tell ourselves about stress…
And the stories we tell ourselves reinforce our beliefs.
Change the story & you can change the belief.
Listen to the story – as a detached, non-emotional listener – and you’ll hear the beliefs shining through.
The first step towards changing beliefs that are limiting your happiness – that are keeping you stressed – is becoming aware of them.

What Do You Believe About Stress?
Beliefs aren’t set in stone. They change, over time (is the world still flat?). At some level, we choose them. But then we treat them as the ultimate Truth.
Out-of-date beliefs keep us stuck in the past, in old ways of thinking and behaving.
Our beliefs come from the stories we tell ourselves. If we tell ourselves we are a victim, then that’s what we’ll believe. If we tell ourselves that we are strong and confident, then that’s what we’ll believe. If we tell ourselves we’re feeling stressed, then that’s what we’ll believe.
Our unconscious mind sets its filters to collect evidence, from our day-to-day experience of life, to support those beliefs – to keep re-proving them. We’ll filter out the evidence that contradicts them.
What can you do about all this?
You can choose whether or not you want to keep telling that old story, or whether you it’s time for a new one. How about asking yourself:
“What might I have to believe, to tell myself this story? Is it really true? Is it a belief and story I want to keep telling, or is it time to let it go?”
IMAGE: Today’s stories create our future.
Most common story a stressed person tells themselves: too much to do, too little time, feeling out of control.

I hope you’ve been enjoying your mindful walking so far.
How are you getting on with the stage 1 meditation?
Any questions? Any insights? Please feel free to share at the stage 1 meditation discussion thread:
http://thetransformationclub.ning.com/group/magic-of-mindfulness/forum/topics/stage-1-meditation-how-are-you-getting-on
Today I’m inviting you to take your mindful walking to the next stage.
By now, you’re probably getting used to the experience of feeling your feet connecting with the Earth. And you may also be getting familiar with being able to say ‘thank you’, with some of your steps.
If you’d like to take things to the next level, here’s something you can add in – it takes about 30 seconds and can be done anywhere!
1. Do your mindful walking, as usual.
2. When you’re in the rhythm of it, choose to spend 30 seconds or a minute, becoming aware of the physical sensations in your body.
• Notice your balance – just feel those amazing muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints and nerves doing such an incredible job of keeping you safe and upright.
• Notice your arms moving – you don’t have to change anything; just become fully aware of the physcial movement.
• Notice your posture. Feel the physical sensations, if you tweak the way you are holding your body.
• Really feel the soles of your feet with each step, as they take your weight as you walk.
• Then, when you’re ready, return to simply being aware of each step, connecting with the Earth.
Remember to take your ‘before and after snapshot’.
What did you notice? How did you find this? Got questions? Anything unclear? Any lightbulbs
