Well it's 7.30 Sunday evening and I've just got back from Topher Morrison's The Mental Game of Money. I was up a 6 am Saturday morning and at the venue at 8 am ready for any return ticket from people who couldn't be bothered to turn up. Why was I so keen? I hadn't heard of Topher before ....
I was even more certain that I wanted to be at the seminar after one of my friends sent him a cheeky email asking if we could promote ourselves by handing out our leaflets for our Database Freedom Weekend that will be taking place 17-18 February at Waterstones in Piccadilly, London. He wrote such a graceful reply (of course he is a master of communication) that we didn't feel bad that on balance he thought it was not a good idea but we could if we wanted to!
Despite the reverse psychology that runs - if something is free then ironically we tend not to want it or value it as much - 500 other people thought it was worth it too. There was a cost as Topher pointed out - my time and energy.
Free or not, Topher wasn't messing! We started at 9 am or thereabouts until gone 6pm each day.The weather outside was chilly but beautiful and Regents Park beckoned invitingly!!
I chatted to a couple of people before the start. One was kind of suspicious that she would be submitted to a relentless sales pitch for two days and the other was a seasoned NLP'er, trainer, presenter etc and had heard it all before, was curious enough to turn up but would leave if it got too - oh you know - earnest and American!
So what did I learn?
I learnt how far I had come spiritually in the last two years. How to talk about the woo woo stuff and how to pace and engage an audience. Yes - I was modelling Topher. Most of the content wasn't new to me but I listened to it as if it was because he gave it a complete reframe. That said I will be integrating some of Topher's techniques into what I do and possibly dusting off my NLP notes from a few years ago.
I took an NLP Practitioner course almost 5 years ago but looking back now I realise I wasn't mentally or emotionally equipped to use it and therefore never applied it to my life. To me it was just a series of mechanical steps. It wasn't until I discovered Consiousness Shifting with Karen Vizer where I received coaching as part of the course that I was able to shift enough of my baggage to start seeing the wood from the trees.
To me Consiousness Shifting made sense - although not at first. It all seemed too out there but my inner self responded to it so naturally and it also seemed to answer an unspoken question that I had been unconsiously asking all my life. Now I'm a Master Consciousness Shifting Coach with Rockit Coaching Group.
Topher gave us some fabulous content - he was passionate, engaging and good looking. But I kept thinking - "Topher - you don't know what you're missing. If only you knew how to muscle check and learnt how to shift energy it would blow you away."
Let me explain. Every emotion and feeling has an energy pattern - once that emotion has been surfaced through my masterly Sherlock Holmes questioning technique and muscle checking, I can check that we have got as deep as we can go at that time. I can accurately pinpoint whether its a fear or a belief etc. I am then able to zap it and neutralise it or help you feel your way through it. I do it for clients all the time and I love it and they love it.
It's fast, it's accurate, it's magic!
My coaching is based on the premise that we are energetically all one - so I can coach people over the phone anywhere in the world. There's more that I do of course as I don't leave people hanging not knowing what to do once the negativity has been removed.
I suppose what I'm doing is applyng the teaching and theories of people like from Lynne McTaggart (The Field), Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now), Esther and Jerry Hicks (Ask & It is Given), Masaru Emoto (The Hidden Messages in Water), Wayne Dyer (The Power of Intention).Deepak Chopra, The Secret, What the Bleep etc etc in a practical and dynamic way every time I coach. And it works!!!
Stress, money, relationships - no problem. I tune into your body (with your permission) and help you to release your fear and doubt.
Who else was there? Oh yes Lynne McTaggart and Peter Thompson. The icing on the cake was that I won the raffle for CD's, DVD's and work packs from Peter Thompson that was worth a lot of money.
Thanks for a great weekend Topher. I am glad that I was bothered.
