Join the Direct Access Conversation

Dear Direct Access friends, Its my privilege to be the part of that Direct access participant group in New Zealand where Direct Access was the last course. I finished my course on Sunday night on 11th march 2012 and Monday morning at 11 am in my office-one of my colleague who was assigned as my examiner for one of my challenge written exam from Australia, university -she came with exam paper in her hand- telling me today was my exam at 9 am, but its 11 am now. I was totally shocked!

As I was waiting from the examiner and from my lecturer for the exam date and deadline- so I was unprepared for that written exam. So instead of blaming this whole universe about my circumstances as becoming victim- I immediately took control by contacting my lecturer and explaining to her my situation. She understood, apologized and gave me another date which was just after 2 days. In order to finish readings- minimum 3 weeks are needed- but I had only 2 days with me and pass marks was 80% and minimum marks for acceptance me to resit the exam was 70% and below that marks I will be unable to sit for this exam forever.   I didn’t want to give up in this tough circumstance. I took the opportunity to use “Direct access” tools to win over my tough circumstances/situation. I have seen my “way of being” was- this is hard, impossible and monumental task . My environment was un-supportive. My action was getting-Inactively active by not doing anything/fail without trying. I “Bracketed” my present way of being, environment and action- which created for my place of wonderment.

Then I thought what a person will do to win over this situation- from there I created for myself “new way of being”- courage,commitment and leadership. My new environment was “supportive” and my new actions was to ” to make it happen”. And I connected my new possibility of being committed, courageous and leader to my emotional dream of having my own home. My new way of being inspired me to think in the direction of “study smart” and ask help from my colleagues,manager- to study what is important and from there I started and did my final mock exam-I could not finish whole exam – which gave me below 65% results. It made me to work in the direction to get minimum 70 and max above 80%. And where ever I want to give up- I think about my emotional attachment and I work and think smartly. Finally- during my exam- I was think with my “new way of being” and that helped me to finis h whole exam paper half an hour before completion time, I did bit of revision.

The result I got was I did not pass but came in category of resist exam which was 78%.. With Direct access tools- I not only dealt with my situation powerfully, rather then becoming victim, but also gained myself in category of resitting exam, improved my performance tremendously from below 65% to 78% in 1 night. The impact on my examiner colleague and my manager was intense- they are proud of me and they respect me more then before. In my own eyes I was winner of my situation- which would not have been possible without Direct Access.

I was so inspired by my experience in the Direct Access weekend I expanded (internally) my commitment to making a difference. Then lo and behold what shows up! Fear induced forgetfulness! How does that happen, you might ask? A little anxiety over committing myself to something I’m not sure how to make happen and my brain decides to intervene. On autopilot it helped me out in a way it has done, so many times before! I never really understood how or why in the past I had managed to suddenly and spontaneously be so completely unreliable in the various commitments I have made. Now I know. My brain thinks it’s helping me by making the source of the anxiety go away. It gave me a completely blank memory and I forgot to show up for my assisting at Landmark! Now I know how that happens I will be especially careful to monitor any of my appointments which carry any anxiety with them. I’m not going to let my brain undermine me again!

I transformed the way in which the whole area of Health and Well Being occurs for me. Transformed from a “pain in the butt, hopeless and me being weak” to a fun, exploration, invigorating and me being open and willing. I altered the future I’m living into from “I’m going to die early” to agility & athletisysm (created that word, don’t think it’s exists) The power of the course for me was getting a deeper grasp on the distinction “occur”, being my pathway to altering actions and my future. Wasn’t going to ever do it, glad I did!

Ce sont les derniers mots que j’ai écrit lors de ma participation à Accès Direct, le weekend dernier. Plus que des mots, c’est la façon dont la vie de manifeste pour moi depuis ce cours. Landmark m’a toujours permis de créer de nouvelles ouvertures dans ma vie, de EST training à ILP en passant par les cours de communication. Mais là… ça dépasse tout ce que j’ai vu, entendu et fait. J’ai non seulement adoré le cours, mais les résultats sont là et surgissent “naturellement”. Wow!

Mon fils de huit ans a un T.E.D. (trouble envahissant du développement), une condition qui fait partie du spectre de l’autisme. Adopté de Chine à l’âge d’un an, ça fait 7 ans que l’on “subit” ses crises et de l’agressivité pour ce qui nous semble des “riens”. Ça c’est quand on saisit le pourquoi de ses colères – ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas. Troubles de langage, vision tunnel, rigidité, hyper sensibilité auditive et tactile, … Ma patience avait atteint ses limites. Ma vie m’apparaissait comme une bataille permamente avec cet enfant, sans compter les drames que la vie nous a apportés – l’incendie de notre maison, dans lequel on a tout perdu incluant notre fille adorée qui avait 6 ans à l’époque. Comme on dit, la coupe était pleine et je me sentais dans un cul de sac, coincée… coincée au point où certaines idées qui émergeaient me faisaient peur; coincée au point où toutes mes journées étaient teintées de la couleur de ses colères que je ne supportaient plus.

Les disctinctions d’Accès Direct m’ont permises de transformer la relation avec mon fils, ma façon d’être et la façon dont tout cela m’apparaissait. J’ai spontanément trouvé de nouvelles façons d’entrer en relation avec lui et de le soutenir avec un sentiment de compétence et d’efficacité, dans l’harmonie et l’amour. Après 5 jours, la relation n’a jamais été aussi forte, aussi profonde et aussi belle. Et je gagne à être “libre et épanouie”.

Je fais le processus tous les jours et tous les jour,s la vie commence à se manifester différemment, à la manière dont je la crée et d’une façon naturelle et spontanée. Que dire de plus !

Merci 1000 fois

Bonjour Montréal & aux francophones, J’ai fait le cours le weekend dernier et j’ai vraiment aimé. Hier et depuis deux jours je compose avec une grippe, déménager, faire mes suivies et d’être en action malgré ce que mon corps à comme sensations :-\ Et hier en prenant le métro (transport en commun) je ressentie un malaise, mal de ventre, chaleur, étourdissements… le gros kit ! Je me suis dit : ah mon dieu comment je vais faire pour enseigner mes classes de Yoga et simplement me rendre ?! Alors j’ai fermé mes yeux et j’ai fait les étapes une par une … rendu à la cinquième et à ma grande surprise !

Je ne ressentais plus aucun malaise et j’étais pratiquement guérie de cette grippe, j’ai eu un regain d’énergie et j’ai pu être totalement présente à mes élèves et j’ai signé un nouveau contrat de cinq semaines ! Magique … oui avec cette pratique tout comme le Yoga les amis, 1% théorie et 99% pratique. Aujourd’hui j’ai deux domaines à transformer avec cette technologie, je vous donne des nouvelles bientôt !

For six years I would sit at my desk and not market my financial planning business. No marketing equals no new clients – the impact was immense. Still, I simply could NOT force myself to do it. I was utterly BAFFLED by my own behavior. Yet nothing would budge it; I would NOT pick up that telephone. In the course I saw exactly what was stopping me and completed it right then and there. The very next day after the course I set four marketing events.

In one day. (Last year I set one event. All year.) The second day after the course I met with a highly successful female executive who hired me on the spot to be her financial planner. Best of all, as promised, these new ways of being and ways of acting are natural and have not required effort, working on it, getting better or trying. What was in my way is gone. I am in action — naturally fulfilling a created future of passion, adventure and friendship. Can you imagine? Think of one area that nothing has made a difference with. This course is the solution to that. Not like a wish or a hope — a promise.

Amazing course – one of the best ever. The “bracketing” concept works SO WELL, and is so easy and quick and effective. I have had a conversation all my life about my health starting from when I nearly died as a child. I was given Sulfa for double pneumonia and went into anaphylactic shock. Today, even though I am highly productive, very rarely get sick, have lots of hobbies, work full-time – (at 72 and love it!), have a dictionary being published in February, am an active grandmother etc., etc, I STILL had the brain chatter about ANYTHING that did not feel “right” in my body. That is gone!

Last night I was in my seminar group (currently in Beyond Fitness) I went through the 7 steps and completely disappeared the frantic obsession about my health.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
