THE ICEBERG METAPHOR

WE USE OUR MINDS LIKE AN IMAGINATIVE MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH WE FILTER INFORMATION. WE ARE LIVING IN A KIND OF MOBVIE AS WE USE ONLY PART OF OUR BRAIN. THE SUBCONCIOUS HOLDS MUCH MORE INFORMATION THAN OUR CONSCIOUS MIND HOLDS.

COACHES CALL THIS THE ICEBERG METAPHOR. THIS MEANS THAT THE MIND IS LIKE AN ICEBERG ND THE SUBCONSCIOUS IS BELOW THE WATERLINE OF THE ICEBERG - IT HOLDS SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION. THE IMAGINATION IS AT THE WATERLINE AND IS USED BY BOTH THE CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL. WHENEVER AN UNCONCONSCIOUS PART IS TRIGGERED IT FLIES INTO YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND AND IT DISPLACES THE ADULT PART. THEN WE IDENTIFY IT AS A HURT FEELING.

IMPRINTS ARE CREATED WHENEVER THERE ARE UNRESOLVED TRAUMA AND WE CAN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH THE OTHER PART OF OURSELVES. THE DENIAL ENERGY THAT WAS FORMED DURING THE ORIGINAL TRAUMA AND RESOUND FEELS AS IF A SPELL HAS BEEN CAST ON US.

UNCONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION IS CONSTANTLY HAPPENING ON MANY LEVELS UNDER THE ICEBERG. INTUITION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACULTY THAT IS USED BY COACHES. IT IS ACCESSED BY THE UNCONCIOUS MIND. IT CAN BE FOUND IN THE CONSCIOUS MIND AS WORDS OR PICTURES. IF YOU COMMUNICATE WITH EARNEST FEELINGS YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT THE OTHER PERSON WILL KNOW YOU HAVE GOOD COMMUNICATION.

THERE ARE 3 MAJOR NEGATIVE EMOTIONS:

FEAR - TERROR, ANXIETY, APPREHENSION.
ANGER - RAGE FURY, ANNOYANCE AND RESENTMENT]
FRIEF - SADNESS, HURT, LONELINESS AND NEEDINESS

ANY OF THESE NEGATIVE FEELINGS WILL HAVE A JUDGEMENT IN IT. JUDGEMENTS HAVE THE EFFECT OF STOPPING A FEELING FROM MOVING AND CAUSES US TO FEEL STUCK. UNCONSCIOUSLY WE FEEL THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE. ONCE THE JUDGEMENTS IN A FEELING ARE RELEASED WE HAVE ACCEPTANCE AND THE FEELING IS FREE TO MOVE.

OUR TRUTH IS THAT EVERYONE IS DOING THEIR BEST AND IS INNOCENT.EVOLUTION HAPPENS WHEN WE CHANGE OLD AND UNWANTED PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR.
