Unlimited Power - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Physiology: The Avenue Of Excellence

As we've already seen, one way to get into a resourceful state is through syntax and internal representation.

But the biggest leverage we have in any situation is PHYSIOLOGY.

Remember, mind and body are totally linked in a cybernetic loop, so the best way to change your state (how you feel) instantly is by changing your PHYSIOLOGY-putting yourself in a powerful physiology.

Physiology is the lever to emotional change.

In fact, you can't have a change in physiology without a corresponding change in state, and you can't have an emotion without a corresponding change in physiology.

We think of states as primarily mental, but in fact, they all have very clear, identifiable physiologies.

Think of a depressed person-eyes are generally down (accessing in a kinesthetic mode and/or talking to themselves about all the things that make them depressed), shoulders dropped, and weak, shallow breathing. Depression is a result, and it requires very specific body images to create it.

Studies even show that when people get depressed, the biochemical and electrical processes of their bodies are also affected-their immune systems follow suit and become less efficient-their white blood cell count drops.

The exciting thing is that you can just as easily create the result called ecstasy by changing your physiology in other specific ways. Smiling and laughing (using the 80 muscles in our face) set off biological processes that make us feel good-they increase the flow of blood to the brain and change the level of oxygen and the level of stimulation of the neurotransmitters.

The good news is that you can just pretend, or act "as if you felt more resourceful, more powerful, and happier than you've ever felt before-"How would I stand, breathe, look, and use my face if I were to act 'as if I felt the best I can feel?"

An important corollary of physiology is congruency. If I'm giving you what I think is a positive message-like "I can handle it"-but my voice is weak and tentative and my shoulders are hunched over and my eyes are down, I'm incongruent, and your unconscious mind will pick up what your conscious mind didn't, and you won't feel confident about my ability.

Unconsciously you know that part of me believes I can handle it; and part of me doesn't. I am representing one thing in words and quite another in physiology.

But if you say, "I absolutely will do that," and your physiology is unified-that is, your posture, your facial expression, your breathing pattern, the quality of your gestures and movements, and your words and your tonality match-I know you absolutely will do it.

One of the best ways to develop congruency is to model the physiologies of people who are congruent-people you respect and admire-watch them in person, or get videotapes of famous people in resourceful states you might want to model.

Remember, modeling is about creating possibilities.

And there's no faster, more dynamic way than through physiology.

The Richest Man In Babylon - Chapter 1

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 1 The Man Who Desired Gold Bansir, the chariot builder of Babylon, was thoroughly discouraged. From his seat upon the low wall surrounding his property, he gazed sadly at his simple home and the open workshop in which stood a partially completed chariot. His wife frequently appeared at the open door. Her furtive glances in his direction reminded him that the meal bag was almost empty and he should be at work finishing the chariot, hammering and hewing, polishing and painting, stretching taut the leather over the wheel rims, preparing it for delivery so he could collect from his wealthy customer. Nevertheless,' his fat, muscular body sat stolidly upon the wall. His slow mind was struggling patiently with a problem for which he could find no answer. The hot, tropical sun, so typical of this valley of the Euphrates, beat down upon him mercilessly. Beads of perspiration formed upon his brow ...

The Richest Man In Babylon - Chapter 7

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 7 - The Walls of Babylon Old Banzar, grim warrior of another day, stood guard at the passageway leading to the top of the ancient walls of Babylon. Up above, valiant defenders were battling to hold the walls. Upon them depended ihe future existence of this great city with its hundreds of thousands of citizens. Over the walls came the roar of the attacking armies, the yelling of many men, the trampling of thousands of horses, the deafening boom of the battering rams pounding the bronzed gates. In the street behind the gate lounged the spearmen, waiting to defend the entrance should the gates give way. They were but few for the task. The main armies of Babylon were with their king, far away in the east on the great expedition against the Elamites. No attack upon the city having been anticipated during their absence, the defending forces were small. Unexpectedly from the north, bore down ...

The Science Of Getting Rich - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - The Right to Be Rich Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with. A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich. The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining. Man ’ s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritu...

The best way to change your state that is how you feel is by instantly changing your PHYSIOLOGY that is putting yourself in a powerful physiology.

Physiology is the lever to emotional change.

You can't have a change in physiology without a corresponding change in state, and you can't have an emotion without a corresponding change in physiology.

This chapter teaches us that
1. The biggest leverage on we have in any situation is the physiology.
2. Our physical presentation must be congruent with our state for us to be resourceful in any state.
3. The best way to develop congruency is to model after successful people who are congruent and that we admire their ways and manners.

1. One way to get into resourceful state is through syntax and internal representation.
2. Your face and your gestures portray or expresses your body language, depression affects the biochemical and electrical processes of people's bodies.
3. Depression makes your immune systems becomes less efficient and their white blood cell count drops.model people whose lifestyle is filled with possibilities.

Your physiology and how u represent it can give you any feeling you desire and take you out of any feeling you don't enjoy.

Try to match the state you desire with your physiological representation.

There's also room for modelling the physiologies of people.
