Mental Rehearsal

Mental Rehearsal and Changing Your DNA

As a cognitive behavioral psychologist - mental and behavioral rehearsal was a staple of good therapy. I was always fascinated by the studies demonstrating how mental rehearsal works and I read many studies by psychologists, research scientists, Olympic trainers and athletes demonstrating how and why mental rehearsal works in our body-mind.

What is Mental Rehearsal?

Mental rehearsal is the process of imprinting images of your goals and expectations in your mind and DNA. You practice seeing and feeling the positive outcomes and achievements that you want to manifest in your conscious reality. Kinesthetic memory and visualization increase your likelihood of success. You can use mental rehearsal for any area of your life, health, wealth, happiness, relationships, sports, business, whatever you desire in your life.

While teaching psychology at the University of Hawaii - I worked with a local basketball team - they won their first ever championship that year.

The New Use for Mental Rehearsal - Change at the Spiritual Level

The simple 6-steps of The One Command is one highly successful approach to using mental rehearsal to change your DNA. Meditation is a wonderful method as well alone or better yet in partnership with The One Command, and I have learned some new meditations from one of my teachers, Dr. Joe Dispenza, from his terrific new book, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. Dr. Joe uses mental rehearsal as a core process in changing your DNA and I use it as a core process in my coaching sessions in partnership with The One Command.

FLOURISH!!!

I don't know about you, but for me 2011 has been an odd little year - lots of 'learning opportunities', lots of changes.

2012 holds such promise and excitement. I was just reading excerpts from a book that offered me a new word to language for myself in the new year. Up to this point I have been using Bruce Liptons word from his book Spontaneous Evolution - Thrival. Dr. Lipton talks about moving from survival to thrival and I am still holding that thought in my DNA.

The book I was reading this morning however offered me another word to add to my daily thoughts - and that word is Flourish!!!

I have set my intention to Flourish in 2012 - in my health, my 'wealth', and my happiness!

What is your intention for 2012 - and how will you live an expansive life?

Love and blessings to All, Katie

Be The Change

All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth. Man did not weave the wave of life, he is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. Chief Seattle

Our world, our existence is intrinsically intertwined. We are inseparable, all parts of one great whole that is the unified field. The very energies of compassion that bring us together in difficulty and tragedy exist always and we are expanding those energies to more of our daily lives, to more of our first thoughts when in relationship with others.

It is this current shift in sensibility that is bringing us into the fold of our evolution, our bond and our expansion into cooperation and compassion. Our lives are shifting consciously and unconsciously at higher and higher frequencies as we move toward our new normal.

It would seem that any change historically has often found increases in energy fields in two directions, a pulling apart and polarization. There often seems to be more of what was as more of what is to be builds its energy base.

Have you been experiencing a feeling of being out of balance? Have you been feeling a little 'spacy'? Have you had a sense of things being off kilter, not normal, as if the earth were shifting under your feet?

We know from our science that we are all a part of a unified field of energy, a unified field of all that is, was, and will be. And since quantum physics tells us that there is no time, except as we create it in our minds, then the unified field is simply all that is, and that includes each of us and who we believe we are.

Who do you believe you are? Who do you want to be? How do you want to be in the world? What do you want to have? How do you want to be your better you?

Ask yourself better questions and you will create that better you. The parts of you that no longer serve you have a higher probability of falling away and being replaced by what you want instead, when you know what those things that you want are.

All things are connected, look at what you want as a model of what you want, and then become that. Put your energy toward clarity for yourself and who you are at your core level, at your spiritual DNA level.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi

Know Thyself - Know Your Spiritual DNA

Our most recent discussions on the One Command Yahoo group have been truly deep and self-revealing, the willingness of the members to open their life experiences to others and share their recognition of how much self-awareness enhances their ability to change your lives for the better has been a blessing.

Many times people ask what to Command for...and the best answer will always be, What do you want instead (of what you have). To help that along, it can be very useful to find out what programs you have been running that have gotten in your way.

We know from quantum physics and psychology that biochemically, biologically and energetically, we take in information that is transmitted as chemicals throughout our body and then creates or changes our DNA. We come in with ancestral programs, we take on cultural and family programs and we have inherent behavioral DNA programs - all information that shapes how we think, perceive the world, and behave.

And beneath all of that is our Spiritual blueprint, the programs that we universally share that come from Source. These are the programs that hold our integrity, our compassion, our sense of fairness, our love - and nowhere in that blueprint will you find fear.

Fear is incorporated in your core behaviors, like the flight/fight responses, and in your learned behaviors like family beliefs and cultural beliefs, and in your personal set of perceptual behaviors that shape how you interpret the world and how you react in response to those perceptions.

The very best part is that as you dig into what is going on in your life, from your dreams to your beliefs to your daydreams, and as you allow yourself to be aware of all the ways you have viewed the world and how and why you make the choices you have made, you have even more freedom and more information about What you want instead.

All of your stories of self-discovery are you gifts to yourself, your gifts of self-recognition, your gifts of self-revelation - and at that point - you get to make more and more and more decisions and choices to use your inherent courage to behave from Source, from your Spiritual DNA blueprint - the you that is in complete alignment with Greater Capacity.

Congratulations to all of you and to all of us - self-knowledge is FREEDOM!
