What Motivates You

Posted by: | Comments (0)

In this 10mn RSA Ani­ma­tion, Dan Pink explores what REALLY moti­vates us in the 21st Cen­tury. Stud­ies have shown that the car­rot and stick (work more — earn more) works well when it come to purely phys­i­cal work. How­ever, with any­thing above basic cog­ni­tive skills, the rela­tion­ships between money and effort become inversely pro­por­tional. In this con­text, HOW do you moti­vate people?

Uncover Your Hidden Talents

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Astro Coach Acad­emy is an Astro eCourse for coaches and any­one eager to learn tools to know one­self bet­ter & become more effective.

Psy­cho­log­i­cal astrol­ogy looks at a zodiac chart to dis­cover poten­tials, tal­ents and chal­lenges that are hid­den in our psy­che or, to use a NLP & Hyp­no­sis vocab­u­lary, our uncon­scious mind.

Unlike tra­di­tional astrol­ogy, psy­cho­log­i­cal astrol­ogy does not make pre­dic­tions. Why? because we believe that to a large degree, we cre­ate our own real­ity, and there­fore have the power to influ­ence the unfold­ing of our own life.

How? By con­stantly fil­ter­ing our expe­ri­ence through our own uncon­scious maps. Some infor­ma­tion is deleted, some infor­ma­tion is allowed to come in and reg­is­ter in our con­scious­ness. The choice is made out­side of our aware­ness. The mean­ing we give to the world, to peo­ple and sit­u­a­tions results from this fil­ter­ing process.

The infor­ma­tion that is allowed in becomes our ‘focus’.

Pre­dic­tions, when made by some­one we con­sider as an author­ity in their field, whom we believe and respect (such as an astrologer), can often become self ful­fill­ing prophe­cies. How? By installing what has been pre­dicted as a point of focus for our con­scious aware­ness. Once this is done, we lit­er­ally look for it out­side of us.

Exam­ple: Ms. X goes to see a for­tune teller she con­sid­ers an expert in his field (i.e. “he knows some­thing that I don’t”). Every time she went to him he told her some­thing that ‘was true’. This time, after a care­ful exam­i­na­tion, he tells her that she should be care­ful this year, because there is a high prob­a­bil­ity that she will have an acci­dent. Where does her mind focus after she comes out of her ses­sion? What is she uncon­sciously look­ing for in the out­side world?

From our point of view, an astro­log­i­cal chart only shows psy­cho­log­i­cal frames, not real life events. When used skil­fully and within the con­text of a dia­logue rather than by impos­ing knowl­edge onto a per­son, the chart becomes an invalu­able tool to assist some­one (or our­selves) to uncover part of our per­son­al­i­ties that we are not aware of. In a way, it works in a sim­i­lar fash­ion to a psy­cho­log­i­cal or per­son­al­ity assessment.

Astro Coach Academy Website is online

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Coach­ing stu­dents have been ask­ing us about the Astro Tools for Coach­ing that we use. So we’ve lis­tened, and the Astro Coach Acad­emy eCourse is com­ing up soon.

There’s a lot of ways we can use an astro­log­i­cal chart. Most peo­ple think of astrol­ogy as for­tune telling, which it’s NOT. A lit­tle known fact: Karl Jung used to draw a chart for each of his clients. Used skill­fully, a chart will indi­cate a lot of hid­den poten­tials and pos­si­ble chal­lenges, it’s a very pow­er­ful tool to know one­self bet­ter, and for a coach, to assist and empower their clients, espe­cially in moments of change of direc­tion. An Astro Coach does not pre­dict but ques­tions, does not impose but propose.

The web­site in online, tak­ing up con­tact details before the eCourse goes online later in the year. Reg­is­tered users will receive emails with arti­cles and tips.

So if you are inter­ested, go to the web­site (or copy and paste www.astrocoachacademy.com in your browser) and enter your full name and email address to sub­scribe to the email list. We will also have some live and online free pre­sen­ta­tions for reg­is­tered users. Oh! And one more thing, please visit our Face­book page at http://www.facebook.com/TheMasterMindsGroup?ref=sgm#!/pages/Astro-Coach-Academy/144565975577483?ref=sgm and click the like but­ton (we need 25 users to be able to get a DECENT web address for the page!) Or you can also click the LIKE but­ton on the Astro Coach­ing Acad­emy web­site.

Astro­log­i­cally Yours!

Where It All Comes From

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Have you ever won­dered who beats your heart, who flows your blood, who keeps you breath­ing when you sleep?

What’s your phone num­ber? Most peo­ple can answer this ques­tion with­out blink­ing. But where does the infor­ma­tion come from? You don’t have to con­sciously remem­ber your phone num­ber all the time. The infor­ma­tion goes out of your aware­ness until you need it, at which time, you can usu­ally eas­ily retrieve it.

How do you get in and out of a room? Through the door. How do you know how to oper­ate it? Because you learned. Not only that, you learned once, and now you know how to open ALL doors, not only the one you learned with. Where is that knowl­edge stored? Do you even have to think about all the nec­es­sary steps to open a door? Prob­a­bly not! You could open a dorr while think­ing about some­thing totally different.

The uncon­scious mind is that part of us that we are not con­scious about, i.e we don’t have the faintest idea that it’s even here! But, as the immersed part of the ice­berg, it is mon­u­men­tal. All our behav­iours have their source at the uncon­scious level.

If you are over 30 years old, watch the 4 sec­onds video below (a very funny illus­tra­tion of this). If you are below 30, don’t bother, you prob­a­bly won’t get it.


The solu­tion to many of the issues that bother us is to increase com­mu­ni­ca­tion between the conscious/rational mind, and the unconscious.
