Hello Ego
Hello Reticular Activating Systems (RAS)
A very important brain function
In essence it is a filter
It helps you find references
It is a key channel to the subconscious
RAS helps define consciousness You are aware of things in the room right now
Your brain has processed information
It has probably processed around 130 bits
How many bits of information do you think are in the room?
Millions!!
Awareness / consciousness You can see that “reality” is very personal process
Your perception is driven by what bits of information you are allowing to be processed
The rest of the information exists - you have just discounted it
RAS is the gatekeeper to your Subconscious - it lets in what you tell it is important
Your beliefs are stored in your subconscious
Are your thoughts + or -?
Up to 60,000 thoughts per day – what percentage is negative?

and the belief is fully formed
How beliefs are created
Roger Bannister The 4 minute mile
Believed to be impossible
Doctors said that the human heart would explode if running at that speed
In 1954 Roger Bannister ran the mile in 3 mins 54.4 secs
By end of 1957 16 other runners had broken the 4 minute “barrier”
The old belief was simply not true
What about the flat earth belief?
The ancient Greeks figured it out
However there is still a flat Earth Society alive and well today!

Tools for changing beliefs
The good news is that beliefs can be changed!
EFT (emotional freedom technique) Mixes psychology with
acupressure
Primarily uses “tapping” to stimulate acupuncture points
Balances the energy system
Appears to relieve psychological and even physiological pain
NLP (neuro linguistic programming) A set of tools that marry
psychotherapy with behavioural change
There is a relationship between thought patterns and behavioural patters
Benefits:
Self -motivation
Behavioural change
State change
Dialoguing
Acknowledge the existence of the negative belief or feeling
Thank it you need to acknowledge its presence
Tell the feeling or belief that it is no longer required. It was then this is NOW - letting it remain takes you AWAY from what you desire
Think of the feeling or belief you DO WANT that leads to what you desire
Sedona Method
In a nutshell
Allow the negative emotion to appear
Examine it
“Could I let this feeling go?
“Would I let this feeling go?”
If so when?
Exercise
Just grip it tightly ........
