0:00 Hello, welcome to video number two in this mind power training series. And this video is called brain waves. How to get yourself into the optimal state to achieve your goals. And there's three things we're going to look at. Firstly, what's the best state to be in in order to set your goals. Secondly, understand the language of the subconscious mind. How do we communicate to it? And lastly, there's a super window of opportunity that we each have twice a day in order to really influence the subconscious mind. Now, I'd like to start by sharing with you brain frequencies. And if you've seen video one, you'll see, you know, this iceberg idea that we that we started to map out and that we have a conscious mind and we have a subconscious mind. The conscious mind
0:46 much more rational, logical. It's processing information. The subconscious mind is much more emotional. makes decisions emotionally. All right? And if we have out of alignment, we're going to struggle. We're looking for alignment. Well, as I've gone around the world talking about this, I found that not very many people are aware of brain frequencies and the impact that they can have. So, I'm going to take them through the four brain frequencies. Take you through that first and then I'm going to talk about okay, so how can we use this in order to make the changes that we want and also achieve the goals that we want to achieve. Now, there's a little image up there that you see. I do apologize for that, but that bat D as you can see. Okay, so we've got Bat D, not Batman. We have Bat D in this. So, it's an easy way for you to remember the four brain wave frequencies. Now, the
1:33 brain emits electrical pulses. Okay? Uh, and they're measured per second. Okay? And so, we have sort of um four bands have been mapped out that these impulses are happening at. So I'm going to share those with you. So the first one at the top here is beta. All right. So the B in uh in BAT D is beta. H and beta goes anywhere between 14 and 20 cycles per second. Okay? And as you can see, it's when the neurons are really firing quickly. So I'm I'm in beta right now. Okay? And and beta is sort of wide awake, very aware. it's, you know, more to do with concentration
2:18 and um alertness, those sorts of things. Okay, so our typical day, we're in beta an awful lot. That's where we play an awful lot. Now, we play in all the others, but pretty much we're in beta most of the time. If you're analyzing data, if you're sorting data, you're probably in beta. If you're doing a presentation, beta. If you're playing sport, you're in beta. If uh you're having to do a test of some description or an exam, you're in beta. Okay, so that's beta. Then we drop down into alpha. And alpha is where we just begin to slow down that little bit. We still are aware, but it's like an expanded awareness. Um, and this is where we
3:04 begin to relax. This is where we begin to visualize. Um it's the place of creativity. When we get our best ideas, they come through the alpha brain frequency waves. Now alpha is anywhere between seven and 14. And this is where you can see this sort of smoothing effect that starts to happen. Um and any time that you've had say an idea, a brain wave, um it's come more from the alpha. Now what's just below alpha is theta. Uh and theta is much more to do with
3:50 meditation. Um see certainly the the sort of the deeper the meditation. So when meditate meditators are meditating okay they're often getting down to this teta level of brain frequency. Um when you have an intuitive sort of flash typically it's coming from here. This is where our memories are housed. And remember the unconscious mind works based on um works based on imag um emotion. And so we have every single experience ever recorded in the unconscious mind. It's all there. And some of those memories are positive and some of those memories are negative but they're all there. So this is where they're typically housed. Now what's below that? Oh um and and
4:36 theta is anywhere between four uh and seven. Now what's below that is delta and delta is anywhere between zero and four. Now this is where we are in deep sleep for instance. Um, and what's been found with this is this is where healing really takes place because if you think often when you're not feeling very well, you want to sleep because the human growth hormone is is released when we're here. So healing typically takes place here. Deep sleep takes place here. Um, it's kind of a detached awareness, you know, when you have that have those dreams where they they don't really seem to make much sense. and um you're not
5:22 really present in any way, shape, or form. That's very much delta. Right now, up here, I've put TPM. That's thoughts per minute because there's times when it's important to have, you know, a lot of thoughts, but there's times when it's important to have quality thoughts. And as we drop down to different brain frequencies, then the thoughts per minute change. So when we're when we're really stressed then there you know the researchers have found that they're around the sort of the 60 and sometimes even higher thoughts per minute. Okay. So you think when you're stressed lots of things going through you going through your head lots of thoughts lots of thoughts and then as we begin to come down and the average is around 30
6:08 thoughts per minute. That's the average. Okay. And then as we drop down even further and we start to become relaxed we come down to sort of 15 thoughts per minute very relaxed 10 thoughts per minute right the way down to obviously meditators not having any thoughts when we're in deep sleep not necessarily having any thoughts you know then we have we have imageries images coming up but it's not necessarily thoughts so how can we use this well when it comes to setting goals it's really important that we're in alpha, not in beta. So the first suggestion I'd like to give you is make sure when you come to set your goals that you get out of your natural
6:53 environments. There's the places that you typically habitat. So your home, your office, get out of those and go somewhere where you're inspired. You know, I took you to where I'm inspired. Okay? go somewhere like that because the environment will change how you feel. How you feel will change what you think. It will change the brain frequency basically. Um, excuse me. And what you're looking for is to be able to visualize your desired outcome. And where's the best place to do that? Alpha, you know, mental imagery, create uh creativity. And that can only come by relaxing. And certain environments relax us naturally. They do it naturally. We don't even have to think about it. So
7:40 I'd like you to go somewhere where for you it changes how you feel. It changes your energy. All right? No need to to do it in the office and no need to do it. In fact, I would would not recommend it at all. So that's the first thing. Okay? Because you want to you want to access alpha. Alpha allows you it's like a gateway. It allows you into the deeper aspects of your subconscious mind. It's the gateway through which we get there. And the more we train ourselves to stay in alpha, then the more we can access the what sits in our unconscious mind, the more we can begin to reprogram the unconscious mind. Which brings me on to um the language of the unconscious mind. Okay? The unconscious mind likes and thinks in pictures. So images. Let me
8:28 give you um an example. Um, I'd like you to imagine that in front of you is a piece of emery board, a piece of sandpaper. Okay? And I'd like you to imagine that you sort of fold it in half. So you have sandpaper on the top and sandpaper on the bottom. And then you bring that sandpaper up and just put it in your mouth and just your teeth on it. Now, if you're anything like me, you instantly get that goosebump type experience. I've gone really goosey. Okay. Now, why is that? Well, what we'll learn in video number four, we're going to talk about the four laws of the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind can't tell what's real or what's imagined. So, what you drop down is real and it it then responds to that image. It reacts to that image even though it's not real. There's no emery board out
9:14 here, right? And so, um, we can utilize that in order to become a high achiever, a peak performer. We can utilize that by deliberately putting the images in to the unconscious mind and reprogramming the unconscious mind so it responds to that and that's what goals are. Okay. When you start to drop your goals down it makes a difference. So the unconscious mind is influenced through images. Okay. images and emotion and certain images are emotional like the one I just gave you with the emery board okay would be an example but if I ask you to close your eyes and
10:00 picture yourself on a a place where you feel relaxed and feel you know really calm place where you love to be if you start thinking about that then you'll begin to change your brain frequency you'll begin to drop down, your mind will begin to smooth. Better ideas, more quality ideas. And I was in, this is a long time ago now. I was in New York and it was in a bank and we were walking along the corridors, walking along with um the person I was going to be working with and a door was open and and in the door in the actual room was an individual on a black leather chair leaning right back, feet up on the desk, looking out over Manhattan. It was dark, so everything was lit up. Um, and he had his arms behind his head like this. Now, you don't typically see that posture uh
10:48 in that environment. In fact, I've never seen it. So, as we walked past, I said to the to the person that we were working with, "Who's that?" So, he mentioned his name, and I said, "Are people allowed to sit like that?" And he said, "Oh, well, last time he had an idea, he saved us $50 million." H. So, yeah. Well, because he's sat there and he's very relaxed, he's probably going to come up with better quality thoughts than being, you know, moving too fast and being pretty stressed out, right? High in in in beta rather than down here in alpha. So, um, imagery, okay, images. And one of the things that you can do is you can create for yourself what's called a vision board. So, here's our family vision board, okay, for this year. Um, and so you can go and cut out images and
11:34 pictures and you can stick them on a board or a card or something. Um, and that then is dropping these down into alpha, especially if you get yourself into alpha state first where then you're able to. And in the membership site, I'm going to talk about how to do that in more detail. I have a video on that that's going to go in there on how to get yourself into alpha um, really, really quickly. And lastly then there's if you haven't already worked it out there's two times a day that we move through alpha naturally every day. Okay and you probably have worked it out as we go to sleep we shift from beta down and as we wake up. So let's just draw
12:20 this. So as we fall asleep and as we wake up, okay we move through alpha. So as the conscious mind begins to go to sleep, the unconscious mind wakes up. All right, metaphorically. So we have an opportunity, a window of opportunity to influence it. So, the last piece of advice I'd like to give you on here is to think about your waking up and going to sleep routine, especially your going to sleep routine. That last seven minutes, what is your routine? Um, and what I recommend is what I call mental flossing. All right, flossing. Mental flossing. We understand what flossing is, but mental floss. This is where we
13:07 take um you know an imaginary uh floss and we floss through the mind and we take all of that mental plaque that's built up uh and we pull it out what I call truth decay. Okay? Because the truth is that we have so much potential but we begin to believe in lack and limitations and labels which I'll talk about on video number four in more detail. Um, and it's a good idea to have a routine to purposely drop into the subconscious mind, begin programming the subconscious mind with actually what we want to create rather than haphazardly or just falling asleep with any routine. So, one of the things that you can do is you can take your vision board and you can have that close to you. So, just as you're beginning to drop off, you know that's in front of
13:53 you and you can just think about the image. You can take the goal that you want to achieve and think about how you'll feel when you've achieved that goal. Get the feeling that's associated. Remember on the last video I said we don't actually want the goal. You want the feeling that the goal is going to give you. Whatever that is, confidence, freedom, whatever it is, get that feeling just as you're going to sleep. Because once again, you drop that down. Use an affirmation. Turn your goal into an affirmation to affirm something positive. Put it in the I am. So if it's a a weight loss goal, I am a certain weight. I am a certain size and I have I have tons of energy now to be able to do X. Right? So affirm and just as you're falling asleep, just as you're dropping
14:39 into alpha, just think about your goal. Just affirm and then you'll drift off to sleep. And then that drops down into the subconscious mind through the image. It's emotional. And then the subconscious mind begins to work and act on that. So it begins to work for you rather than against you. Now more's coming this way with the the fourth video on this in in particular, but this is a great start for now. So three things then. Firstly, the best state to be in to set your goals is alpha. Okay, get yourself into alpha. Secondly, the language of the subconscious mind is images. So where and how are you going to use images? Could you cut out a picture of what your goal looks like when you've achieved it? Could you put yourself in that picture? Could you use
15:26 vision boards? All right. So, how could you use imagery? Can you just use creativity from your imagination from and visualization, which is easier to do when we're in alpha, okay, than it is when we're up here in beta. Okay. A and lastly, the two windows of opportunity that we go through twice a day as we're going to sleep and as we're waking up. So, as you're waking up, you can think about what day you want to create today. get the feeling of coming back home having had a fantastic day and and lock into that. Well, I hope you enjoyed that uh second video. And in case you haven't watched video number one, I've set up a membership site called called Mind Power Academy where I'm going to be uploading uh training and there's already five
16:12 training videos uploaded. Plus, also uh we're going to be doing this 90-day challenge is which is where I'm going to help you set and achieve a goal in the next 90 days using mind power techniques. And you can already download the guide which is a five-step process to help you put together well firstly establish what is it that you want to set to achieve and then a fivestep plan to help you achieve it. Also from today's video, uh you can download uh this which is making waves which is a reminder of what we've talked about in today's video, but also in there I've put a little experiment that I'd like you to try where you can validate to
16:57 yourself how you can one communicate with your subconscious mind and two influence it to do what you want it to do. So the way you do that is by getting yourself into alpha state and then doing this little experiment. So that's in the membership site and the membership site for everything is just £5. That's it. It's a once off once only payment of £5 and you're in which is ridiculous. I've already had a phone call from a friend who thinks I'm completely mad and I told him I'm not mad. I'm a maverick. I can't tell you what he said next but anyway that's all it takes. So, just click below and uh you'll be able to pay your £5 and you'll get straight into the membership site where you can start accessing all the mind power tools and trainings plus get ready for the 90-day
17:45 challenge. Uh and once I've got to video number four, we will then set this in motion and I have more announcements coming your way about that.
