Just
like going to the gym, visualization is
much like doing an inner gym to work out
each day in your mind - though unlike the
gym you don't have to leave home and it only takes
about 20 minutes each day - and can be easily customized
each day to your exact needs.
Needless
to say, when mind and body are both trained
up to achieve the same goal, it delivers results
which are far stronger than those achieved by physical
practice alone.
These
techniques transform performances quickly, easily
and effectively - and they always work,
simply because the mind controls your mind's inner
"ski blueprint", and there is no other
place the body can get its physical skiing instructions.
Unfortunately
while visualization is designed to increase performance,
we also have our own non-stop version of
visualization going on inside of us, where we
can be unknowingly
visualizing ourselves to fail -
much like running a constant movie though your mind
which is programming your future results.
So ensuring the technique is being used positively
and correctly is the only way to ensure you are
programming your mind for success, and to overcome
any old programming as well.
Access Your Inner
Skiing "Zone"
It
is well known that mental training can help skiers
- in fact, with aerial skiers you can actually see
them going through the actions of their visualization
right before they begin their performances.
It
is also well known that it can help skiers
and other sports competitors reach The Zone
- the awesomely powerful mental state known around
the world to deliver the absolute peak level of
performance, both in skiing and also in all sports.
The
Zone occurs when the subconscious mind takes control
of your performance, which delivers instinctive,
automatic and brilliantly fluent results which
seem to come from deep within, without any thought.
They seem to appear almost magically on auto-pilot
- which are far more powerful than whenever we consciously
or manually try to control every action
or movement of our performance.
This
is vital in a sport which is as fast and
needs to be as quick thinking and instinctive as
skiing.
When
a skier is 'zoning', their conscious mind becomes
relatively quiet (the normally busy, chattering
mind) and this allows their more powerful subconscious
to run their ski performance on auto-pilot, the
way a computer runs software.
This
allows their movements, thoughts and technical ability
to flow in a way that can never be rivaled
by conscious thought, which effortlessly increases
quality of performance.
Of
course, this is not to say that your body
is performing without instruction - on the contrary,
it is simply getting its instructions from
a far more powerful and reliable source
- and the quality of the performance proves
this every time.
Though
mental training techniques are proven to work and
are used around the globe, some people
remain unconvinced about their power until they
first try them, and then realize how dramatically
they can influence performance. They work, of course,
simply because all bodily movement comes directly
from the mind.
The
subconscious contains all your skiing memories,
knowledge and experience
and is designed to help you succeed - but just like
any computer, it also has the ability to work against
us if not programmed correctly. When
this happens, it shows through lost confidence,
poor form, intimidated by difficult runs,
etc.
In
order to create improvement in a short time - that
is, permanent improvement that will truly
last - your mind needs to be programmed
for success at the subconscious (software) level,
before the external results will then begin to change
- as otherwise the improvements simply never last.
Mental
training also helps improve our attitude and mindset
for performance, as having a positive expectation
of success is massively important for success, because
we tend to get what we expect rather than
what we deserve.
Along
with this, it also helps us to break out
of negative or recurring patterns, or self-sabotage
in performance - as the mind can just as
easily work for us, or against us, depending upon
how it is programmed.
When it comes down to it, it's the mind
that controls the body - but most skiers
tend to see this the other way around until they
experience a problem in performance or begin to
understand how the mind / body connection works
in skiing.
The
recognized techniques of guided relaxation, visualization
and hypnotic suggestion are powerful ways to influence
your mind at the deepest levels, and dramatically
increase your skiing success.
Hypnosis, of course, is simply a state
of fully-conscious mental relaxation, where
you are relaxed but alert the entire
time, often compared to the "daydreaming" state
or the feeling of "losing yourself" in
a book or a movie.
During
this time your mind is highly open to suggestions
which are made to it - and though, if it chooses
to, it also can reject these suggestions just as
easily, this makes it possible to make remarkable
changes to our internal wiring when the suggestions
are positive and designed to help us.
Because
of this, I created a powerful guided relaxation
/ visualization recording which automatically
guides you through the entire experience of visualization,
quickly and easily.
It
also contains powerful hypnotic suggestions for
increasing performance. This has been used by many
different styles of skiers to pre-program performance,
overcome nerves and reach their peak level of performance
when it counts most.
The
recording firstly takes you down into the
perfect level of relaxation for mental training,
which is followed by powerful hypnotic
suggestions for building confidence, belief, relaxation
and performance.
This
is followed by silent time to allow you to tailor
your visualization perfectly to what you need, so
you can pre-program your performance and improve
your technical mastery.
This
visualization and hypnotic recording has shown to
be remarkably effective, and has been one of the
most popular mental training programs on this site
- mainly because it can be so easily customized
to suit your exact needs each day.
This
recording can be used any time of the
day, in the convenience of your
own home, and can also be used on an
ongoing basis for as long as you require it - saving
you the cost of private consultations which
can often cost several thousand dollars.
The
main benefits of this powerful visualization recording
have been:
-
Automatic
Relaxation
- the recording places you into an easy
and automatic state of relaxation
perfect for visualization (and
also teaches you how relax in
case you need to do a quick visualization
