One Key To Success and Happiness
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the most crucial skills for success and happiness is the ability to change our perspective on circumstances, people, situations, behaviours etc…
The technical term for this is “reframing”.
Reframes: The secret to problem solving
Posted by: | CommentsWhat are reframes? The process of reframing is shedding a new, positive light on a behaviour or pattern that is understood as negative.
For example, to a father who was complaining to him about his headstrong daughter, Erickson said that this was a quality which will be extremely useful when she grows up and can fend for herself.
How can you reframe how you consider some of your own behaviours?

Is Logic Logical
Posted by: | CommentsOften, the solution to our problems lies in the ability to see things from a different point of view.
Something to contemplate (from the philosopher Wittgenstein):
We are tempted to think that because we know 1, we know 2 because 1 and 1 equal 2; but we forgot to look at the “and”. If you combine 1 litre of alcohol and 1 litre of water you do not get 2 litres (try it, you’ll see)!
Think! In people, when 1+1 equal more than 2, it is called synergy! When it is less, conflict!
In what ways can you make 1+1 more than 2, in your personal life, business, health?
Modern Science and Eastern Mysticism
Posted by: | CommentsEarly 20th century scientific research on how the brain stores memories had shown that rats could still run a maze with a major part of their brain removed, which brought about the conclusion that memories were not stored in the brain, but throughout the whole body (the basis of the scientific proof of the mind-body connection).
Karl Pribram, in his pioneering work on the brain and the nervous system which led to the development of the holonomic model, shows that memories are stored, not in cells, but as wave patterns. His breakthrough discovery that the Human nervous system functions a hologram opened a whole new dimension to how we see the Mind and the nervous system (have you ever heard that we are only using 10% of the capacities of our brain?). A hologram is a light field resulting from the interference of two light beams (one of them going through an object) on a recording medium which appears as a 3D object. One of the interesting qualities of the hologram is that if you break the holographic plate, you get 2 whole pictures.
