0:00When I was a teenager, I had such bad
0:01skin that I got bullied for it. My mom
0:03took me to dermatologists after
0:05dermatologist.
0:06>> [music]
0:06>> 5 years, nothing worked. I remember
0:08getting injections in my face. Now, I
0:12discovered a technique, [music]
0:13not a cream, not a pill, a mental
0:14technique from this Silva method, and in
0:175 weeks, [music] I was able to heal my
0:19skin. That's 5 years of skin disease
0:21healed in 5 weeks.
0:23But more than that, this technique gave
0:24me a taste [music] of the power of the
0:26mind, something I would use over the
0:28next 30 years to accomplish multiple
0:31things [music] from getting a book
0:33number one in the world on Amazon,
0:35scaling a company to 140 million in
0:37revenue, and even qualifying as a
0:39martial artist competitor [music] at the
0:41US Open Taekwondo Championships. I was
0:44able to do a lot of this [music] even
0:45though these are all different areas of
0:47life through this one technique, and
0:50it's about focusing [music] your mind on
0:53that which you deeply desire. That was
0:55the first taste of something I've now
0:57done nearly every morning [music] for
0:59over 30 years. The technique is called
1:01the three scenes technique. It is a form
1:03of creative visualization, and I'm going
1:05to teach it to you in the next 20
1:06minutes.
1:10So, I want you to think back to a night
1:12before something
1:14that was really important to you
1:16happened. A big presentation, a pitch, a
1:19game, an exam, a hard conversation you
1:21knew you had to have the next morning.
1:23And maybe you lay there in bed running
1:25it over and over in your head. Except
1:27the version playing in your mind was the
1:29one where it all went wrong. So, here's
1:32the strange thing. Your body believes
1:34it. Your heart rate went up. Your
1:36stomach tightened. You were lying
1:37perfectly still in a dark room, and your
1:39nervous system reacted as if the
1:41disaster was actually happening.
1:44Now, hold on to that because it tells
1:45you something most people never stop to
1:47realize. Your mind cannot fully tell the
1:50difference between an imagined
1:51experience and a real one. And that is
1:54either a curse or a superpower,
1:55depending entirely on what you choose to
1:58put in your mind. So, here's a study
2:01that illustrates this. It comes from the
2:02psychologist Alan Richardson. So, he did
2:05this experiment to see how powerful the
2:08mind is versus actual practice. And he
2:10did this experiment with basketball
2:12players. They were divided into three
2:14groups. The first group practiced on a
2:16court. The second group had no practice
2:18at all. The third group practiced in
2:21their mind. They would visualize
2:23themselves shooting baskets. They would
2:25see themselves scoring points. Now, at
2:28the end of this study, he found that the
2:30first group improved by 24%.
2:33Pretty expected, right? They were
2:34practicing on the court. The second
2:36group, they stayed flat, no improvement.
2:38But here's what's wild. The third group
2:41improved by 23%
2:44even though they were only practicing in
2:47their mind. Michael Beckwith's concept
2:49of the law of resonance gives us a clue
2:51of what's going on. The third group that
2:53was practicing in their mind, they were
2:55really taking on an identity that they
2:59are a good basketball player. And that
3:01identity becomes so strong as you
3:04practice in your mind that their actual
3:08performance goes up. Now, what if you
3:10were practicing in your mind being a
3:11world-class founder, being a world-class
3:14athlete, being a confident person on
3:16stage, being a published author? Might
3:19the same results happen?
3:21From what we're seeing through thousands
3:24of case studies that we get on our
3:26website from people who follow this
3:29technique,
3:30I can tell you
3:32this is really powerful. But not only is
3:34it powerful, it's a shortcut. See, the
3:37actual people who practice on a court,
3:38think about it. They had to get dressed,
3:41get in a car, drive to a basketball
3:43court, practice, come back sweaty, take
3:46a shower, and then go back to their
3:48lives. But the ones practicing in their
3:50mind,
3:51no commute. They basically just sit
3:53down, go into a mental state, and
3:55visualize.
3:56The point difference was only 1% 23% to
4:0124%
4:02in terms of improvement. So, let's
4:04define what this actually is.
4:06People sometimes call this creative
4:08visualization. It is the act of seeing
4:09in your mind that which you want to
4:11bring in the world. And it turns out
4:13this is no longer a fringe idea. Some
4:16medical professionals call it imagery
4:17therapy because it's also an effective
4:20tool for healing. Now, here's what's
4:22interesting. It doesn't just help you
4:24feel good or motivated. It actually
4:26seems to help you get to your goal
4:28faster, in less time, less hustle, less
4:32work, more effectively. You see, it's
4:35not about writing down the goals. It's
4:36not about obsessively chasing the goals.
4:39It is about the amount of time your
4:42brain is focused on the reality of that
4:45goal versus worrying about attaining
4:49that reality. So, let me give you an
4:51idea. Let's say you have a goal to hit a
4:54new position, CEO of a company. Or you
4:57have a goal to raise 10 million for your
4:58business. Or get that book out. Or
5:01compete in a competitive sporting event.
5:04How much time are you feeling and
5:06experiencing the joy of that end reality
5:11versus worried about it? Worried about
5:13the idea of having to run a big team.
5:15Worried about the idea of having to wake
5:17up at 6:00 a.m. every morning to hit the
5:19gym.
5:20The ratio between you obsessively
5:23thinking about the goal as if it's
5:26already coming. Like, you know, you're
5:28in love with someone. You know, they've
5:30just boarded a flight. They're about to
5:31come visit you. You can't wait to see
5:34them, to greet them, to show them the
5:36city
5:37versus worried.
5:40Are they going to call me back?
5:42Am I going to get that text? You sense
5:44the difference?
5:45What Michael Beckwith
5:47helped me understand in his writings and
5:50his work is this.
5:52To truly manifest your goals, you have
5:54to be stepped into the future. In other
5:58words, in your mind, the goal is
5:59inevitable. Therefore, you aren't
6:02worried about the next steps you have to
6:04take to get that promotion. You just
6:06know it's coming. So, you've already
6:08started shopping for the outfit. You
6:11know that your competitive sports career
6:14is going to be inevitable. So, you wake
6:16up every day and you're excited to go to
6:17your gym because you've already stepped
6:18into that reality where you are that
6:21athlete.
6:22When you can step into the future today,
6:26that is the law of resonance. You've
6:28become and taken on a new identity. And
6:31because you're in that new identity, you
6:34don't have worries. You don't have
6:35fears.
6:37The reason you don't have worries and
6:38you don't have fears is because that new
6:40identity is already you. The future is
6:43inevitable. This is the essence of the
6:46law of resonance, which is explained
6:49with this line. The universe does not
6:52give a damn about what you want.
6:54Rather, the universe will reflect back
6:57to you who you are. Therefore, become
7:01and step into the person you want to be
7:05at an identity level,
7:07and reality bends in your favor. Now, we
7:10are going to do the exercise, but I got
7:11to teach you how to do it properly, and
7:14then you can do this on your own. What
7:16I'm going to teach you today is a
7:17technique. There's also a deeper skill
7:19underneath it, the ability to drop in,
7:22to come on, to drop into the brainwave
7:24state where this stuff actually takes
7:26hold on your subconscious. I'll come
7:28back to that later. For now, just know
7:30that that door exist. Sit down, find a
7:33comfortable position, close your eyes,
7:36and I want you to now see the number
7:38three three times.
7:40Three.
7:41Three.
7:43Three.
7:45You're now experiencing physical
7:46relaxation.
7:48Now see the number two three times. Two.
7:52Two.
7:53Two.
7:55You're now mentally relaxed.
7:58Now see the number one three times. One.
8:02One.
8:03One.
8:05You're now at your center.
8:07Directly in front of you, you see your
8:10mental screen.
8:11Project onto your mental screen
8:14the problem that you're seeking to
8:16resolve.
8:17See that problem.
8:19Feel the pain.
8:21I want you
8:23to now, as I snap my fingers, make the
8:26color brighter and more vivid.
8:29One, two, three.
8:31Color is brighter and more vivid.
8:36I want you to now feel the emotions of
8:38this problem.
8:40Feel the negative emotions
8:42that you want to remove from your life.
8:46Feel the pain.
8:49Feel the regret. Feel the suffering.
8:53Exaggerate the problem to magnify the
8:56emotion.
9:08By seeing the problem
9:10and feeling the pain,
9:11you're creating greater desire within
9:13you to heal the situation.
9:17Exaggerate the pain.
9:24See how the problem is affecting other
9:27people in your life.
9:32And feel how it's preventing you
9:35from truly being the best version of you
9:37you can be so you can give your gifts to
9:40the world.
9:48Exaggerate the problem.
9:51Feel the pain.
9:55Now, stop.
9:57I want you to move your mental screen
10:0015° to the left. And now see yourself
10:03taking some action to resolve this
10:05problem.
10:08See yourself taking any baby step
10:11towards resolving the problem.
10:16Perhaps you're looking at starting a
10:17business.
10:19A baby step might be registering a
10:20domain name.
10:23Maybe you're looking at improving your
10:24emotional states.
10:26A baby step might be meditating every
10:29single day.
10:32Or maybe you're looking at improving
10:34your relationship with someone.
10:36A baby step might be being courageous
10:38enough to have that first difficult
10:41conversation.
10:46As you see yourself taking the baby
10:48steps and taking some action towards
10:50resolving the situation, see the colors
10:54getting brighter and more vivid.
10:56See other senses involved.
10:59What do you hear?
11:01What do you smell?
11:03Where are you?
11:05Who is around you? What do you feel as
11:08you're taking this baby step?
11:19And now, as I snap my fingers,
11:22you're going to move to the third scene.
11:24Again, 15° to the left. 1 2 3.
11:29Now, on this third scene, see the
11:31having resolved itself.
11:35Feel the emotions and the feelings
11:38knowing
11:39that this problem is gone.
11:43How do you feel?
11:46How are you celebrating?
11:49See how the resolution of this problem
11:51is helping other people.
11:54Which other lives are getting better
11:57because this problem has been healed?
12:02See color.
12:04Feel emotion.
12:14Keep the visualization bright
12:16and bold.
12:21Feel the joy, feeling of victory,
12:25feeling of success,
12:26knowing that this problem
12:28is no more,
12:30and that the solution is now your new
12:32reality.
12:41In later lessons, we will go into more
12:43intricacies of this particular
12:45technique, and we will go into further
12:48ways to use this technique for specific
12:50things such as healing.
12:53At the count of five, you will now come
12:55out. You'll be wide awake feeling fine
12:57and perfect health, feeling better than
12:58before.
12:59One,
13:01two,
13:02three,
13:03ready to come out,
13:05four,
13:06five,
13:07eyes open, wide awake feeling fine and
13:09perfect health, feeling better than
13:10before. So, there you have it. You now
13:12get the three scenes technique, and if
13:14you enjoyed this technique, all I ask is
13:16this, leave a comment. Let us know what
13:18you liked about it. I read every
13:20comment, and I want to know did you get
13:23stuck on something? Is there something I
13:25can clarify further? And also, I want to
13:28stress I got permission to share this
13:30technique from the Silva family, the
13:33descendants of Jose Silva. And they
13:36asked me to state one thing,
13:38when we're getting this technique out to
13:39you free, for those of you who want to
13:41go deeper, go check out the Silva
13:44UltraMind program on Mindvalley. It's at
13:47mindvalley.com/silva.
13:51Proceeds from that program actually go
13:53to Jose Silva's family. And remember
13:56this man
13:58who passed away in 1999 put in so much
14:00effort in developing these
14:02methodologies. And one of the things I'm
14:04most proud about what we do is that
14:07we're helping get this out to as many
14:08people as possible. Now, here's a really
14:11important tip.
14:13The universe hates to be nagged at. So,
14:16imagine you're on a road trip with kids,
14:18and the kids at the back of the car,
14:20before you get to that gorgeous national
14:22park that you're that you promised them,
14:24well, before you get to Disneyland, they
14:25keep yelling, "Are we there yet? Are we
14:27there yet? Are we there yet?" And you
14:29just want to like turn around and smack
14:30those kids. Don't do that, that's
14:32illegal in most countries. But as a
14:34driver, that's rather annoying. The
14:37universe doesn't like it when you keep
14:39going, "Are we there yet? Are we there
14:41yet?" So, what I want to stress that you
14:44should do, okay, is if you're applying
14:46the three scenes technique for a goal,
14:49the dream office, the published book, do
14:52it one day a week in the morning. One
14:56day a week. Now, let's say you do it on
14:58Monday for your book goal.
15:01If Wednesday, Thursday, you're somehow
15:03feeling intense doubt, intense like lack
15:07of urgency about writing, you can do it
15:08again.
15:09But if you feel good about it on
15:11Tuesday, go to a different goal. Now, if
15:13you're doing it for healing, Jose
15:14Silva's principles still apply. Healing
15:17is something that is often urgent, so
15:19you want to do it three times a day,
15:21especially if it's pain, if it's
15:23something that you really want to like
15:25resolve, three times a day every day
15:27until healed. But if it's not for
15:29healing, doing it once is enough as long
15:32as when you're done with it, you're in a
15:35positive frame of mind. Now, what many
15:38people do when they've been practicing
15:40the Silva techniques for a while is they
15:42pick seven goals and they do one on
15:44Monday, one on Tuesday, Wednesday,
15:45Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, a
15:48different goal. Create balance in your
15:50life. You can pick a longevity-related
15:53goal, run a marathon, you can pick a
15:55money goal, a business goal, a
15:56relationship goal, a goal related to
15:58accomplishment, a goal for reading, a
16:01goal for learning, a goal for how you
16:03show up amongst peers and co-workers.
16:06Different goal every day. If you have
16:08difficulty identifying goals, getting
16:11really clear on what you want, then I
16:13have another video called the three most
16:15important questions. This is an exercise
16:17I designed in 2012.
16:19And what happened was I designed it and
16:21put it up on YouTube back then just for
16:24my friends and employees, and the
16:25American Management Association loved it
16:27so much they retweeted it and the
16:29technique blew up. It's a technique for
16:31finding clarity. And it takes less than
16:3415 minutes, but it helps you identify
16:37clarity in your life and the most
16:40important goals that your soul and your
16:42heart really want you to be aligned
16:45with, not goals which are coming from
16:47outside you, but goals stemming from
16:48within. And all I ask is you subscribe
16:51to this channel.
16:52And on this channel, you'll find a link,
16:55as well as below this video, a link to
16:56the three most important questions
16:58video. Do that to get clear on your
17:00goal. Use the three C's technique to
17:02move towards that goal in record time.
17:06If you enjoyed this channel, my name is
17:08Vishen Lakhiani. I'm the founder of
17:10Mindvalley. My goal is to bring
17:12transformational ideas to founders
17:15everywhere. And we don't just look at
17:18concepts of how to grow your business,
17:20but things such as longevity, your
17:23spiritual practices, your relationship
17:25with the people around you, how you
17:27build community, how you scale without
17:29breaking yourself, and all the other
17:32things that are often not as commonly
17:36spoken about in entrepreneurship as they
17:38should be. And if you like these topics,
17:40subscribe to this channel cuz there's so
17:41much more I'd love to be able to share
17:43with you, not just from my work, but
17:45from the work of hundreds of Mindvalley
17:47authors and teachers.
17:49Thank you.
