Imagination Awake!


Caitriona Reed and Michele Benzamin-MikiReplay of Imagination Awake Teleseminar

Transforming everything from the ground up – by eradicationg limiting beliefs, decisions,and negative habits and emotions.

Remember the story of the man who traveled the world seeking his fortune, which he finally discovered hidden behind his own hearth?

Or the story of the prisoner who treated the key to his cell as a holy object rather than testing it the door to his cell?

Stories give meaning to your life. How many are keeping you from living your passion and dream, and how many could support you?

Imagine! NLP Alchemy

NLP Certification TrainingImagine choosing, designing, and recreating your life as if it were a work of art and you were a master artist.

Imagine choosing:

  • how you want to communicate with others,
  • how you want to BE with other people,
  • how you want to feel about your day, your life, your self ..

all of it based on your own highest vision and values!

So that you’re not at the mercy of old stories, old tapes, stale reactions and emotions and self-defeating cynicism or fear ..  Is that too much to ask?

One of our FAVORITE things to do in the whole wide world, right up there along with

  • making art,
  • making food,
  • making love,
  • traveling,
  • spending time with loved ones,

is teaching our fourteen day NLP training intensives at Manzanita Village.

Truly!

“NLP” – might sound daunting technical, or downright weird but it has revolutionized everything we ever knew, (or thought we knew) enhancing our work as spiritual teachers, artists, hypnotherapists and above all simply as human beings.

What we’re saying is that this can be the foundation of your own work

  • with clients,
  • students
  • employees,
  • colleagues,
  • or anyone in your life

to utterly transform old patterns and limitations.

More importantly, it can be the key to YOU fully LIVING into your own highest vision and values!

It’s like FINALLY getting the users’ manual to your own life, your own brain, your own neurology.

I am describing this work as if it were a “something.” In fact it’s more like an attitude, supported by some very specific tools and skills. (about a hundred and forty of them) that we pack into two very int ensive weeks. These are tools that will allow you to run circles around most conventional coaching, consulting, and personal development work!

What you DON’T have to do:

  • You DO NOT have to take on a new belief system for this, except perhaps that you may realize that you are capable of a whole lot more than you once thought. (So you may just have to let go of some old limited beliefs about yourself)
  • You do not have to do, or be someone else, or give up what brings you most joy, unless on this journey to ever greater choice you discover possibilities for even deeper fulfillment and happiness.
  • You do not have to take on jargon although you may learn new ideas, new words, new possibilities, and an amazing new ability to get out of your own way at last!

This training is a BIG COMMITMENT (it’s fourteen days!) and although we have kept the cost very low and included food and accommodation in the price we realize it may take some consideration on your part.

So call and let us answer any questions you may have. 760-782-9223

We also have a special offer through the end of December

Are You Coachable?

Ask yourself:

  1. Can you learn? Can you let go of what you thought you knew? Can you listen and take action based on what you hear? Can you stand directly in front of the things you have avoided because they terrified you, and learn from your fears? Can you trust .. which means, can you trust yourself, your dreams, desires, ambitions? Can you trust that life works for you, not against you, as soon as you start living and thinking for yourself.
  2. Can you change? Can you risk losing what you thought you depended on? Can you risk losing who you thought you were? Can you risk failing in order to achieve a greater and deeper success. Can you understand that true success is not a zero-sum game. When you win, everyone can win? Can you get out of your own way? Can you stand face to face with those old fears and trust that they may be your greatest teachers, not just something to ‘overcome’, but true guides and teachers.

Michele Benzamin-Miki on Integrated Meditation and Personal Change

walking_uo_hillWhat’s exciting to me now is how all the skills derived from my work as a hypnotherapist, and NLP trainer, complement my meditation teaching and practice. There is a relationship between goals and the goal-less state, and understanding that relationship gives you a bigger vision and a clearer view.

More than just removing obstacles, you become the change…

Are you a Psychotic or a Robot?

robot or psychoticAre you a robot or a psychotic? Robots do the same thing over and over again and respond to different situations and people in the same way – identically every time.

Psychotics, on the other hand, are unpredictable, responding to different people and situations in different ways, sometimes inappropriately.

In everyday life, if we’re functional we behave, hopefully, a little bit like the psychotic in that we have behavioral flexibility and can choose how we respond (rather than responding to everything in exactly the same way).

We can also, hopefully, distinguish between our imagined reality and the reality that is commonly held by those we are reacting with. That’s what makes us a functional.

The alternative would be to respond in exactly the same way to every person or situation you encounter. That would make you a robot.
