Why Do People Need Mind Training?

Niccho is not your average triathlete. Whereas most triathletes experience their confidence and focus during competition or perhaps feel stomach jitters when they are about to compete, Niccho is just oozing with determination and strength! Though Niccho’s training is less rigid compared to other triathletes, Niccho performs excellently during competitions. Niccho’s secret? Mind training.

Mind training is not just for athletes who want to get the gold during their events. Rather, every individual will benefit dramatically from mind training. This is because mind training can improve performance, as well as give the average human the power to overcome, potentially, any problem. Here are things you need to know about mind training:

• Mind training is based on the Buddhist tradition rooted on a set of proverbs developed in Tibet by Chekawa during the 12th century. The twin pillars of the practice are Ultimate Bodhicitta, translated as ‘open-mindedness’ and Relative Bodhicitta, translated as ‘compassion’. Mind training gives you a set of vaccine to bad mental habits, paranoia and predetermined ideas that hinder the potential of humans.

• Mind training is grounded on the idea that the mind controls the body and not vice versa. Mind training remedies self-sabotage—that is, when under pressure, humans inadvertently bring out dilemmas which do not exist in practice.

• Mind training utilizes the power of the mind to work as an ally or a nemesis, depending on how it is programmed to perform.

• Mind training helps you overcome intense nervousness and gives you a deep belief in yourself and your abilities. Mind training aids in concentration as well.

• Mind training helps you to be ‘in the zone’—that is to be in a mental state wherein you feel that your performance seems to flow effortlessly, that you simply cannot do anything wrong. Mind training achieves this through visualization. This is done by consistently imagining your self performing at your peak level. By doing so, a mental blueprint is created by the power of subconscious mind which your body will follow in your endeavor. Mind training is all about running movies of your success in your mind.

• Mind training assist humans in hurdling problems and reach the absolute peak of their potential. It facilitates a calm, clear and concentrated mind. Mind training improves motivation and enjoyment of training and working.

Why do humans need mind training? For the simple reason that what the mind conceives, the body can achieve.

How Can We Unleash the Power of the Subconscious Mind?

“I can do it!” Elizabeth said loudly for the 9th time that evening. We were the last employees at the coffee house and we were closing it up for the long weekend ahead of us. Whereas I was thinking of a fun trip to a coastal area, Elizabeth was more concerned about giving herself some sort of solitary and modified pep talk. I asked her what exactly she was doing and she said that she was unleashing the power of subconscious mind, specifically hers. Apparently, Elizabeth has decided to go back to college after having left it behind some 10 years ago. Having been accepted to a local university, she was going to start her classes after the long weekend and she felt squeamish inside. Hence, her attempt at unleashing the power of subconscious mind which she assumed was going to keep her nerves from breaking down.

But what does the power of subconscious mind mean? Here are the things that Elizabeth said about it:

How Can We Change Our Brain and Therefore Change Our Life?

Linda’s fear of social contact has tremendously debilitated her life since it’s onset. She would not speak in front of people nor would she look anyone in the eye. She is afraid of going out of her house because she thinks that people will mock her. She is worried that they do not like her and the way she is. Seeing how this problem has incapacitated my friend Linda, I made a decision to convince her to read a book by Dr. Amen entitled Change Your Brain, Change Your Life. I could have easily given her a copy of the book, but I thought otherwise. Linda was already frustrated because of her irrational beliefs about people insulting her, presenting the book to her would have given her more reasons to be perturbed.

To make Linda read, I decided to “accidentally” leave my copy of the book behind after one of my visits with her. I knew that she was going to read it because of her passion for books. The week after, I went to her house again to retrieve the book I also set a new motto for myself Change Brain Change Life. To my pleasant surprise, I saw that she had made notes on some of the things that Dr. Amen wrote about in his book.
