From: L. Michael Hall What APG is all about March 26, 2014 UNLEASHING YOUR POTENTIALS FOR FLOW AND JOY AND FOCUS Flow— you have heard about the state of “flow,” have you not? We all have. Flow is that state athletes call being in the zone. It is that synergy state that combines the joy of meaningfulness with the joy of challenge. In NLP and Neuro-Semantics, this state has long been called the genius state. We call it that, not so much because it increases intelligence (although intelligence is typically enhanced), but because it is a state of total engagementwherein you are in an optimum state (for you) with all of your best resources available. Then things just flow. That’s why flow generates joy! Csiksezentmihalyi wrote several books on Flow. He did so as a result of his doctorate studies on “happiness.” He found that happiness resultsfrom being in flow— engaged in something that you find both challenging and meaningful. Can you turn flow on at your will? After Tim Goodenough and Mike Cooper learned Neuro-Semantics and Meta-Coaching, they wrote a book, In the Zone. They interviewed and modeled top athletes in South Africa and in doing so they discovered that most sports coaches and many top athletes do not believe that a person could just “turn on this state.” They think it is not under their control. That’s why lots of superstitious rituals occur among athletes as they search for the key to being able to manage one’s ability to enter into the flow state. Then they presented a model for all of the prerequisites for being a world-class athlete and having the flow state under one’s control (order In the Zone onneurosemantics). The Flow Pattern. The pattern for taking control of flow is the Accessing Personal Genius pattern. This pattern comes from the Meta-States Model which you can find it in many books— Secrets of Personal Mastery (1997), Meta-States(2007), etc. And this is the key pattern that you will experience in the APG workshop. Come to APG and you will learn two principal things— the Meta-States Model and the Accessing Personal Genius pattern. In the workshop, you will go through 14 patterns, meta-state yourself 21 times with the prerequisites for genius (or flow) and learn to step in and out of the flow state at will! And once you can do that with one flow or genius state— you can do that with many more. The first genius state that I created was the reading flow state, the second, the writing flow state. Did it work? After suffering writer’s block for years and struggling to write one article in several months, the Accessing Personal Genius pattern gave me a jet propulsion so that I’ve averaged 3 books and dozens of articles every year for more than 18 years. I’ve also established a genius listening state, presenting state, coaching state, running state, etc. How about you? Would you like to unleash your potentials for the state and experience of flow (genius, in the zone, optimum state)? You can! And when you do, you will have the power of focus and concentration and that will solve ADD. ****************************** How? Join us at the Next APG training. Know more at the link below:
