What is the Personal Power in Paradise Programme? The Personal Power in Paradise Programme is designed for people who want to re-align with their goals and objectives, re-discover confidence and re-connect with intuition. The course is aimed at individuals who want to clearly define what they want from life now and take steps to achieving those goals – even if they‟ve tried and failed before. Have you reached a cross-roads in life? Whether you want to advance your career, start a totally new one, re-focus on what you want from your personal life, or just to strip away the mask and re-discover who you really are; feeling totally confident in the real you.

Why Personal Power? This course focusses 100% on you. On other courses you may learn similar techniques and the best way to use them on others, but on the Personal Power in Paradise Programme we ensure the focus remains fully on you. And we ask you to aim high!

You‟ll work with your fellow delegates to help each other release old behavioural patterns, break psychological boundaries and uncover opportunities in your life you never knew existed. And you‟ll have fun. This course is about really getting to know the “unique you” behind learned behavioural patterns and re-connecting with your personal power. We do this with a range of psychological techniques, laughter and maskwork. It‟s a time to re-centre, stand-still and focus on who you are and what you want now and from here on in. It‟s a time to ditch bad habits and start fresh. Whether you want to kick start a health plan; clear away old feelings, phobias or thought patterns, or just re-discover your childlike curiosity and enthusiasm. Perhaps you‟d like to learn tools and techniques to see the positive in every challenge rather than feeling tired or defeated. You‟ll spend 8 days focusing on you (and the other delegates you‟ll be working with) and by the end of the course you‟ll feel energetic, enthusiastic, mentally clear about your objectives and fully confident in yourself and your ability to get whatever you want. You‟ll even know WHEN you‟re going to get what you want. If you commit 100% to this course it will change your life – both business and personal. What‟s more you‟ll walk away with two certificates at the end of the training – so you‟ll be qualified to start sharing your new tools and techniques with others!

What techniques do we use? On the Personal Power in Paradise Programme we use a range of techniques including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy™, Mask work, Value Management & Breathing for Life Energy.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, is a synthesis of cognitive and behavioural therapy and was created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in 1975. Between them they began modelling and duplicating the results of highly successful communicators and therapists such as the hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Since then, many others have contributed to the growth and development of the field, creating a wide range of tools and techniques to achieve very specific results.

"NLP could be the most important synthesis of knowledge about human communication to emerge since the explosion of humanistic psychology in the sixties." Science Digest

NLP is a series of tools and techniques that allow us to understand how people organise their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour. Every one of us forms unique internal mental maps of our surroundings as a result of the way in which we filter and perceive information via our five senses. The way we filter information affects our thoughts, feelings, language and behaviour. Our behaviour directly creates an outcome or result. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a powerful, practical and results-orientated method of therapy where you can make changes within a very short space of time – even minutes. NLP allows you to get control of both your conscious and your

unconscious thinking to enable you to live a more integrated and purposeful life. If your unconscious values, beliefs, decisions and thought patterns are aligned with your goals and objectives, you will achieve them easily. NLP provides a philosophy or set of guiding principles, attitudes, and techniques about real-life behaviour which allow you to change, adopt or eliminate behaviours, as you desire, and gives you the ability to choose your mental, emotional, and physical states of well-being. And because you learn these techniques on the course, you will always have the tools you need to make changes when you need to. With NLP, you learn how to grow from every single life experience and, more importantly, find fulfilment in the NOW. You really can achieve a better quality of life with these techniques. Learning NLP has helped thousands of people around the world in the following areas: Business - improve management skills, sales, achievement levels and interpersonal skills.

Sports – improve confidence and performance.

Education – understand learning styles, learn information quicker, develop rapport and increase motivation.

Personal Development – create focus and dynamics behaviour to achieve ANY goal.

NLP techniques and processes will help you understand yourself and others, and new and more effective ways to:           

Time Line Therapy™ Your "Time Line" is how you unconsciously store your memories or how you unconsciously know the difference between a memory from the past and a projection of the future. This concept was mentioned first by Aristotle in 300BC and then later by William James in the 1800‟s. Each of us stores memories or at least consciously presents the description of how we store the past, the present and the future in different ways. In 1985, Tad James, M.S., Ph.D. applied a therapeutic process to this concept of internal memory storage. The result was a collection of techniques which produce long-lasting transformation in minutes. The process is called Timeline Therapy™.

Time Line Therapy™ techniques enable you to eliminate many types of limiting emotions or decisions from your past, thus allowing you to move on with a more objective perspective whilst still being aware of any positive learning from challenging situations. This freedom from emotion allows you to move forward toward your goals and desires. Behavioural change in an individual takes place at an unconscious level. People don't change consciously. The Time Line Therapy™ process allows you to work at the unconscious level and release the effects of past negative experiences and change "inappropriate" programming in minutes rather than days, months or years. Time Line Therapy™ techniques allow you to gain emotional control over your life by eliminating unwarranted or inappropriate emotional reactions such as bursts of anger, apathy, depression, sadness, panic, anxiety, and paralysing fear. It will enable you to achieve the life you want – and you‟ll be stunned how quickly you can achieve it. You may hold unconscious, deep-rooted beliefs about how “good” you are, what you “deserve” and what you‟re “allowed” to have which may well be preventing you from achieving your desires and goals. How wonderful will your life be when you get rid of the “buts” in your language and just believe that you can make anything occur that YOU CHOOSE? It‟s simple really, and yet the majority of us hold onto unsupportive beliefs and restrictive thoughts.

Mask Work This section of the course is based around the analysis of Archetypal behavioural types found in the Tarot and Egyptian Cartouche. You‟ll learn how to embody their powerful characteristics in your daily life to help you achieve what you want. The archetypal principles we study are universal: The Mother, The Father, The Family, Strength, Love, Creativity and Fertility are all fundamental to nature in every period of history. The unconscious mind is symbolic and by working with these archetypes, they create powerful symbolic triggers which allow you to call upon a specific mask, energy or vibration to use in your daily life. Mask work can be used to work with the transpersonal, the psychological and unconscious and the material or conscious level. It is an exceptionally powerful tool which you can use to navigate your path and develop chameleon-like tendencies and true empowerment.

Values Management Values define what‟s important to us. They create the motivation to do what we need to do to get what we want. They determine our behaviour and we move either towards or away from values during our life and we‟re willing to expend our hard-earned resources on doing just that. Values are the criteria by which we judge our behaviour and our achievement and they are generalisations about our deep-rooted belief systems. If our value systems are not aligned with our dreams, desires and goals then it is almost impossible to achieve them. On the Personal Power in Paradise Programme we‟ll work with you to uncover your Personal Power in Paradise Programme © Fire Dragon Coaching Limited 2010

values – to really get to know what drives you and what makes you tick. Then we‟ll ensure you‟re fully aligned with your goals and raring to go.

Breathing Techniques – Prana Pranayama is the science of breath control, as proper breathing brings more oxygen to the blood and the brain and it also helps to control prana or life energy. Breathing supplies the body and all of its various tissues with oxygen and it also helps to rid the body of waste products and toxins. Oxygen is essential as it allows for the proper functioning of the brain, nerves, glands and other internal organs. The brain requires more oxygen than any other bodily organ and if it is deficient, people may feel mentally sluggish, think negative thoughts, get stuck „doing depression‟, and even suffer from vision or hearing problems in the long term. We breathe too shallowly and too quickly, not taking in enough oxygen and not breathing out enough carbon dioxide. This results in oxygen starvation in the body and toxic build ups start to occur. Shallow breathing also does not allow the lungs to work enough so they actually start to lose some of their function. Our breath has become fast and shallow because we are always in a hurry, modern life is stressful, we are overly emotional, and we are quick to excite or anger. Modern life also means that there is less need to breathe deeply so we develop a habit of shallow breathing. An indoor working environment means that we are exposed to more pollution, causing the body to instinctively breathe less. On the Personal Power in Paradise Programme we teach you how to breathe through the nose for optimum health. Most people actually breathe through the mouth. The nose has defense mechanisms in order to prevent impurities and overly cold air from entering the body. It also helps to absorb prana from the air. If you breathe through the mouth, you are robbing yourself of an abundant source of free life force energy. This is a major factor in lowered disease resistance and it also impairs the functioning of your nervous system and vital glands. Correct breathing techniques improves your health, your lifespan, and also enables you to attain super conscious states, with enough training. However, the breathing techniques must be done correctly and habitually to have the desired effect.

How is the course structured? The course is set up in 3 stages:   

The book “The Law of Attraction” by Esther & Jerry Hicks Open book test

Before you attend the course we ask you to spend time reading through the pre-course study material so that you have an understanding of all the techniques we‟ll use on the course. What‟s more, working through the pre-course study gives you the opportunity to raise any questions you have prior to the course and talk them through with a member of the Fire Dragon Team. We then ask you to complete the open book test and give it to us before you finish the live training.

Stage Two: Live Training The live training is intensive and we train you hypnotically. What does that mean? We use a varied range of training techniques to deliver the training material in a way that you can absorb easily. You then work through each of the techniques with your fellow delegates so that you leave the course complete with the experience of working live with a clients. At the end of the 7-day training (so long as you have achieved a sufficient standard of knowledge and practice) you will receive your two certificates and be a Certified Practitioner of NLP & Time Line Therapy™.

Our delegates often leave the course surprised by their dramatic change in perspective. At the end of the course you will find you are armed with a fired-up “can do” attitude and a perspective that focuses on the wealth of opportunities available to you rather than barriers you may have seen before. What‟s more you‟ll feel totally confident in your ability to make things happen when you get back into your normal routine. And of course, you‟ll leave as an ABNLP Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Time Line Therapy™. You‟ll be ready to apply your new skills to achieve your own goals, motivate colleagues to achieve theirs, or help family to step into their power. By the end of the 7-day live training you‟ll have all the confidence, knowledge and experience you need to start using your powerful new tools and techniques.
