- Declipse technique | Wellcoaches
For a true transformation to occur, the mindset that is causing a blind spot requires its opposite. Declipse Technique™ The Declipse Technique in Mindfulness Coaching from Coach Meg The path to self-change is often long and arduous, but it doesn’t have to be. I am going to share a shortcut, a mindfulness technique that can help speed the transition from growth edge to higher wisdom. This habit goes by several names. You could call it the self-change habit, or a habit of self-leadership. For reasons that will become clear in a moment, I also call it the “declipse” habit. It offers a chance to hack your mind, to crack its code. By calling on the power of intuition, we can transcend the problem at hand. Here’s how this works: Your growth edges can also be thought of as blind spots. They block other perspectives. In a sense, they eclipse the wisdom that we need to get past them. For a true transformation to occur, the mindset that is causing a blind spot requires its opposite. When we access the opposite, we can move beyond the original mindset. Purchase the Habits course Newton’s Third Law also provides an apt metaphor: Every force has an equal but opposite force. The part of you creating a blind spot is missing access to its opposite. Self-change, then, is about moving from eclipse to declipse. It’s a process of balancing the two forces. Step One: Befriend the Thought – Let’s say that you feel controlled by your desire for smooth sailing, an easier life. The first step is to notice that part of yourself. Create a little distance, a little meta-awareness. Name the issue you’re dealing with. Tell yourself, “Wow! I really need to detach from my need for sunny weather.” Befriend this characteristic, and accept it. Even if it’s causing you problems, it is still a part of you – probably an overworked part of you! Step Two: Ask the Thought to Move Away – Gently ask this part of you to step aside. Choose a metaphor that works for you. You could send your need for praise on vacation – it could probably use a trip to the beach! If you’re feeling less extravagant, perhaps you could just treat it to a cup of coffee. Find an imaginative way to send the need somewhere else. The declipse can’t happen as long as your desire for praise is eclipsing the wisdom. Step Three: Enter the Mind’s Inner Sky – Quiet your mind and enter a still place. Like an orchestra conductor, bring all the noise down to silence. Just exist in this blank quietude. You’ve got nothing to do and nowhere to go. I call this space the inner sky. Step Four: Intuition Reveals Wisdom – After a few moments, your intuition will fill this void with higher wisdom. “Choppy seas make a skilled sailor,” it may say. “I welcome the rough days.” The forces inside you will return to their proper balance – the yin and yang. You will be able to recognize that while sunny days are lovely, you grow when the days are choppy. This is the declipse. Outgrowing growth edges can become an important habit, a vital habit of a transformational leader.

Most people feel overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious at least some of the time. Prominent surgeons are deeply concerned that the next generation operating room staff is showing an impaired ability to focus, reducing level of skill mastery.

Course Testimonials One of the key element that I learned from this course was about the “Hotspots” for coaching and the Brain States. I really like the idea about having an imaginary dial that goes up and down based on which brain state one is in...learning about strategies to sweep clean my mind - notice, name, accept, experience, appreciate, connect, compassion, curiosity, learning, purpose, change of channel. This strategy will help me prepare for a coaching session by controlling the negative emotions and letting the positive emotions energize the brain. Sometimes at work I come across some very challenging clients this tool will help me organize my mind while talking to the client and also before I move on to talk to the next client. Priya Organize Your Mind Student I learned how to utilize meta awareness more often to sort of step outside my thinking and evaluate situations, especially during times that may be higher stress. I also learned how to actively "turn down" certain areas of my brain to become more aware of utilize certain states during specific circumstances in my life and with clients. I have Meg's voice stuck in my head, which she says "turn down" X state, when I'm envisioning that dial to turn it down. Cami Organize Your Mind Student I appreciate the topic of being intentional. Being intentional in life will assist in goal setting and I believe living life to the fullest. Latoya Organize Your Mind Student I find myself thinking about which part of my brain I am using during many activities and am involved in throughout the day. It is knowledge I have never had before and it puts me more in touch with my overall self. I foresee that I can help my clients understand where they are imbalanced by spending spending too much time in a specific area of their brain versus others. For example, I anticipate most will spend too much time in the "Executive Control" center and not in the more liberating and creative parts of the brain. Tony Organize Your Mind Student My ability to develop a better understanding of my brain states has helped me be a more mindful individual, and schedule activities that promote my wellness vision during times I am most capable. As a coach with a better understanding of brain states, I am more able to understand the perspective of a coachee, and help them lead themselves into more opportunities for 'active mastery' and apply more executive control to their day. Troy Organize Your Mind Student I really enjoyed the section on physical energy classes. I learned more about the importance of exercising and how benefits the brain. I also started consuming more chia seeds because I want to have a healthy brain and I've been trying to take more breaks throughout the day. Nora Organize Your Mind Student

He texted me the next day and revealed that your book and its concepts had given him hope of overcoming the issues he has been dealing with. David Father of a College Student I really enjoyed reading your book! It was the perfect timing to read it because I am currently taking psychology and psychology of music courses right now. It's amazing how much I've learned about the brain this semester and your book has helped me grasp even more about it. While I was reading, it just clicked and I'm now constantly imagining the physiological processes going on inside the brain as I am learning, and the billions of neurons connecting in networks just to form my conscious thoughts. Sometimes I'll imagine my pre-frontal cortex being activated as I try to focus on something, or my temporal lobes activating as I hear things (especially music). I liked how you related the mind to music at one part in the book if I remember correctly. The brain must harmonize it's parts to be at it's full potential. This reminds me of music therapy. Because music itself affects the physiological structure of the brain in the long run, making some parts such as the cerebellum, the corpus callosum, and other areas of the brain larger in musicians than non musicians. I've always wondered how this would affect my cognition and my ability to focus and perceive things. Joshua College Student Your book jumped out at me while I was at a bookstore, and I was immediately drawn to it. I have struggled my entire life with the symptoms you describe in your book. I want share the book with my mother who lives in Dubai and struggles with many of the same problems I do. I'd like to find some way to help because I believe very much in what you do . I'm a writer and a marketing strategist, so if either of these skills can be put to use for your purposes, please let me know. Thank you for your time and consideration! Omar Marketing Strategist I am so excited about the new patterns I am creating. Looking at my home and organization as a challenge and an opportunity to bring about positive change is inspiring and energizing both me and my home! There is a much better flow of energy and ideas with this new system. I think the clutter was a catalyst for depression and overwhelm. Before I often felt I didn't have the energy to deal with the mess. This past week I have felt so much happier and had so much more energy. I had my cleaning ladies come, had my carpets cleaned. My place is at it's very best! I have extended an invitation to some of my friends to come for dinner in mid March. I could not be happier about my new life. I know it's only been a week but I am inspired and dedicated to keeping it this way! What is next? Thank you so much! Karen Operations Assistant LOVE your new book and am especially excited because I already use what I learned as a psychiatric nurse practitioner using cognitive therapy in my work as a coach as I help my clients to get in touch with the emotional thoughts that play out in their times of overwhelm (for example: Is it your mother-in-law that makes you feel crazy or is it the habit she has of interrupting you repeatedly?). I have been keeping track of the research that has been emerging on brain development and the implications for coaching, so you can imagine how excited I was to see your book addressing that topic. I also love the attention this book is getting in the media, perhaps as much as you do, because I am just starting as a certified health and wellness coach here in NC and you so clearly articulate the benefits of coaching. THANK YOU! Rosemary Pychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Certified Health & Wellness Coach I received the book from Amazon over the weekend and finished the book this morning. I thought the book was amazing. I now understand what had been getting in my way of making progress. I did not regularly manage distractions or use agility. What's amazing is that the neuroscience seems to make common sense, yet, somehow I needed to see it in writing in order to really get it. Your suggestions and examples were extremely helpful. Thank you! Anna Professional Health Coach
