Good news – the 30% discount on conference tickets has been extended for another week till Tuesday, 7th September. A number of people contacted the office to say that the bank holiday here in the UK meant they were unable to register by the end of August.

Just released - a brand new, fantastic composition especially designed to play during healing sessions, for healers, energy healers, therapists and workshop leaders.

This is healing music in its own right which creates a circle of safety for healing meditations, guided meditations, in workshops during exercises, healing circles, and also as healing meditation music in self healing.

Its funny how teams often perform better at home or players have favourite venues in which to perform but how does it all work? How can a place or space lead to a marked change in performance? The sports arenas are treated as sacred spaces worshpiped by thousands and millions. But what changes behaviour simply because the location has changed.

Welcome to the August 2010 edition of the EmoTrance newsletter!

                                                                                                               There are six aspects to mental toughness that are key in the sporting arena:-

1. Self Belief
2. Confidence
3. Handling Stress and Pressure
4. Staying Focused
5. Self Motivation
6. Optimism and Positivity

A player can strengthen or weaken these psychological aspects of their game. The management of each of these and in total as whole are key to deliver top class performance. We shall be looking in much more detail at each of these.

Of course, there is a lot of drifty dreamy chill out type "new age music" about, featuring whales and rain and little brooks and all kinds of things. Of course, we enjoy those very much but how is actual "meditation music" different from the general run of the mill new age ambient music?

Meditation-Music.ws is owned by The StarFields Network and our special site dedicated to meditation music, healing music, energy music and in general, to share our music with the world.

Our current first generation composers are Ananga Sivyer, Nicola Quinn and Silvia Hartmann as of August 2010; in due course more will join us to create energy magic music to enjoy, to heal, to learn and to evolve.

In the meantime, here are our new meditation music, healing music and energy music mp3s and CDs for you plus the latest music related news.

In a recent interview Stephen made it clear he always took the position of the champion from an early age. Whether it was Steve Davis, Schumacher, Federer he always wanted them to win. To strike the killer blow. He hated the underdog winning. In associating with a champion (taking the position as them in the event - so for instance watching an event as though playing) puts a different perspective on a game. We can get a sense of the determination and toughness.

Patricia Dancing-Elk writes: When people come for help/healing they have a set of expectations of how that healing will look for them.  And, when it does not look like that, they are disappointed.

When they come for healing from cancer, they think there should be an immediate clearing of the symptoms and disease.  Most people don’t stop to think about where the disease came from, what it feeds off of and the physiology of it.  They only think of the concept and physical attributes of the disease and how it complicates their lives.  Seldom do people think of the cause of the disease.

One of the greatest hurdles for people who know they need help with their emotions and feelings is the idea from old fashioned psychotherapy that they have to talk about their problems and tell all. But what if the cause of the problem is a secret that cannot or must not be told?

What if the client is a general, or a high executive, or a leader in general and cannot possibly talk about the problem? Or if the root of the problem simply cannot be talked about for any other reason?

Three of the key aspects in improving performance include focus, concentration and centredness.

Concentration includes what a player attends TO in playing or competing. This compares with how a player focuses which is about remaining in the immediate sporting context. So for instance a player who is playing on the 18th whilst thinking about handing his card in is not focusing. Doug Saunders was on the 18th with a 3 foot putt for the Open only to start thinking about his presentation speech whilst lining up this final putt.

Get ready to Focus

To improve a players focus the following are required:

1. A clear objective or goal related to the current setting

2. A Boundary around the context - whats in and whats out

3. An ability to become totally aborbed in the activity.

4. A sense of now and a connection to now- not whats happened or whats going to happen

5. The support of concentration and centredness as part of the overall system.

6. Being strongly anchored in the context and with clear markings of the context.

Someone wrote in and asked, "I have tried EFT tapping for eczema which I have had since I was a child and I think its getting a bit better but I'm not sure, do you have an EFT script for long term tapping on a chronic problem such as eczema?"

Here are my suggestions.

AMT Trainer Peter Delves writes: "When using EFT some practitioners grapple with what words to use. Although the basics are addressed in standard trainings, this article describes one of the ways you can create language patterns to help the effectiveness of EFT. It is just one of the approaches which we will be covering at the special one day EFT Language Skills Masterclass on the 5th September."
