Do you feel haunted by your past? Are you embarrassed of your past? Do you live in the fear of the “shameful” acts buried in your past coming out one day? Are you trying to resolve past shame? You may have hurt or upset people in the past; perhaps you did things that you now consider unforgivable.

Whatever your “sins” may have been, what’s important is that life has given you a second chance. Feeling “ashamed” of our actions is like taking the first step on the path to retribution. The mistake that we make is getting overwhelmed with the first step so much so that we can't move ahead, and we often don't use the chance to fully break free.

A lot of us refuse to let go past shame because we feel we deserve the misery that feeling ashamed of ourselves brings. What we forget is that the only way to get over our past truly is to learn from our mistakes and make a fresh start - never to commit such acts again.

However, resolving our past shame is often much easier said than done. Often the memories of our past become so deeply entrenched in our subconscious that it becomes difficult to let go of them. In such a case a tool that can help in influencing and re-programming our subconscious can help us resolve our past shame and help you to tap into your personal power. The following are two such simple yet effective self-help tools:

Self-hypnosis visualizations- The subconscious mind understands the language of visuals. Under self-hypnosis we can get in touch with our subconscious mind, visual imagery under this state is considered to be an extremely effective tool to re-program the subconscious mind. The following self-hypnosis exercise will help you to start to resolve your past shame.

Step 1-Sit or lie down in a comfortable position

Step 2-Close your eyes

Step 3-Deep breathe

Step 4-Focus on every in-breath and out-breath

Step 5-Imagine that you are taking in light and energy with every in-breath and exhaling all your stress and anxiety with every out-breath

Step 6-Now imagine a beam of white light entering your body through the top of your head

Step 7- Let the light travel to every part of your body

Step 8- Pay attention to each part of the body that the light travels to

Step 9- Feel every muscle go limp and let every cell shine bright with this white light

Step 10- Let the light leave your body from the soles of your feet

Step 11- Now imagine that you are standing on a beach

Step 12- Feel the soft and squishy sand under your feet

Step 13- Look as far as your vision goes

Step 14-See the horizon, where the lovely blue sea meets the sunshine splattered sky

Step 15- Look around you, you’ll see a wooden stick lying on the beach

Step 16-Pick it up and write the names of all those people you have hurt/abused or seek forgiveness from on the sand

Step 17- Now imagine that a wave clears away all the names you have written

Step 18- Slowly relax and clear your mind then open your eyes when you are ready.

Subliminal messages-

Subliminal messages are beyond the perception of the conscious mind but have the power to influence and re-program the subconscious. These messages can re-program your subconscious in such a way, that you can:

• Allow your subconscious mind to bring your past shame or guilty actions to the surface, so that you can examine and understand them.

• Subliminally learn to neutralize the act in your mind, so that you are able to put your shame to rest, gain real closure and get on with your life.

Finally, what’s important to remember is that the past will forever reside in our mind; we can either spend a lifetime trying in vain to run away from it or make peace with our past and move on.

business coach

Simply getting by at work is not going to last very long. By doing the bare minimum you cannot expect to get ahead, receive promotions or more importantly, receive those much needed raises. However, there are people who can help you set personal business goals and help motivate you through leadership mentoring. Look around you and take stock of what successful business men and women are doing to get ahead. They are not just sitting around waiting for an opportunity. They are making their own opportunities. You need a business coach to help you do the same thing.

Leadership mentoring is a process that occurs when one person with more experience takes another person “under their wing,” to help them understand the workplace or their personal life in a better way. A business coach is not the same thing as a mentor and you need to be aware of the difference. One works by providing guidance (the coach) and the other works by instructing. The two are often confused with one another but in reality are different.

Many companies will bring in a coach consultant to help their employees when the business is beginning to flag. It is a way to help bring back the company into operating once again at a higher level of efficiency. You have probably heard of motivational camps where employees are brought in and play team games with one another. This creates and fosters a competitive atmosphere but lets employees bond with each other.

Business coaches can not perform miracles and should not be promising great achievements. Those who do may be operating under fraudulent means. This is to say that a coach should not make grand promises to up sales by fifty percent or have employees thinking that the coaching process will automatically result in advancements and promotions. This is simply not the case. Coaching people should be more about showing them that they can rely on themselves to make the necessary changes to help the business operate better.

Many corporations are now seeing the benefit of bringing in a motivational business coach to help their business improve. It does improve employee morale and it does work in helping to raise productivity. The coach must be adept at motivating a single person and at group mentoring situations as well. You can benefit from the coach by listening to what he or she has to say and implementing their life tips into your own life. Then you will see work as more of a career than just a nine-to-five job.

Harv Eker Part of The Masters Gathering Event

The Masters Gathering - Harv Eker

Harv Eker seems to be in the media spotlight a lot recently, but I thought I would give you some background on this extraordinary individual.

Who is Harv Eker and Why is he part Of The Masters Gathering?

Harv Eker is probably as close as you can come to the perfect example of somebody that succeeded in the quest for the American Dream. Harv’s childhood was spent in Canada, the son of immigrants from Europe, and then moved to the United States.To keep his head above water he worked at many different types of jobs.

The struggle proved to have a silver lining, as it was this that inspired him to take control of his own destiny and start his own business. Unfortunately, that business failed, and he actually went through a lot of failed investments before he was able to work out what he’d done wrong. He began thinking about how we act and react to money, and how our internal thought processess and beliefs effect our ability to succeed.

Ekers major revelation was that success is more dependent on our internalised processess than what we may be doing externally. Although a little luck is never a bad thing, it is our financial blueprint that will determine how we think, plan and make decisions around financial issues. These blueprints are developed from exposure to media, current events, family and friends.

If you are someone that recognises your internal blueprint is not optimal, then with some hard work it can be put right. In all honesty, moving away from long held internalized processess connected to money can be quite challenging. To be honest, if you don’t actively engage with the process and choose to leave your pride at the door, then maybe Eker’s teachings are not for you.

With the right mental attitude and the willingness to put in the work, success can be yours. Eker tells us all about his findings in Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, his book about success, and in his programs to help people achieve their dreams. Attending one of Eker’s transformational workshops or reading his books will set you up for a major change in your thinking and well on your way to success.

There are plenty of things we can all learn from Harv Eker, including the fact that we have to stop acting from envy and fear. Start working from a position of contentment and happiness, and you’ll be able to seize what life has to offer. If you don’t have the belief that it is possible for you to succeed, then you will more than likely fail.

Harv Eker is an inspiration to millions of people all over the world who have chosen him as their mentor. They have followed his advice and transformed their lives from mediocre to magnificent as a result

It comes as no surprise that T.Harv Eker is one of the many Masters invited to participate in The Masters Gathering later this year.

It is true to say that the majority of individuals experience difficulties setting goals for themselves and those that do manage it, then experience difficulties following them. There are several reasons for this, such as lack of direction, little or no self discipline or possibly a life-style that is mismanaged. Ultimately, they wind up going around in circles getting nowhere fast. No matter what the explanation is, personal goals are not being met and that can result in a downturn in the quality of life for that individual. If you feel that you are spinning your wheels but not getting anywhere as far as your own  personal goals are concerned, perhaps the time has come to look into life coaching.

Assisting other folks to reach their personal goals and aspirations is what life coaching techniques are all about. A coach can achieve this by leading by example, offering life tips and utilizing effective coaching skills that come from various disciplines, like psychology or sociology. A life coach must assist you in analyzing your current living situation and have you reach a decision as to where you would ultimately like to be in life. As well as providing tips and guiding you along, they will also help you in getting over any obstacles that may pop up along the way.

One thing to be mindful of is that a life coach is not a fix all and cannot solve your problems on your behalf. If drugs, alcohol, abuse or psychological matters are present, then the mentor is not certified to assist with those kinds of difficulties. They can offer a good example and help the client seek out specialist help but they are not certified to undertake such a job. The mentor is not and should not be there to show you the way and force you towards something for which you are not equipped. They are more of a shoulder to lean on should you require help in addressing certain transitions in your life.

One thing to be aware of is that there is no professional licensing required for leadership mentoring or for being a life coach. There are organizations which do offer membership but there is no schooling required in order to be a mentor. With that in mind, when you are searching for a life coach, you should be very wary of anyone who claims to be able to alter your life or assist you to achieve any unreasonable goals.

Numerous folks get a real feeling of satisfaction when they can assist others succeed in accomplishing their goals, ambitions and aspirations. To these people, life coaching is very much a way of life. If you have a longing to begin coaching people yourself, just be aware that very little good in life comes easily and it can take a lot of hard work to become a life coach, but the end rewards will be well worth the endeavor.

Every now and then, life has a tendency to be overwhelming and it is at these times that people find themselves being pushed off course as far as their goals are concerned. Life coaching provides much needed motivation and helps put the person back on the road to achieving success.
