The “Genius” State #8
META-STATES IS MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness results from meta-stating. That’s because when you meta-state
you are “stepping back” (metaphorically) from yourself and your experiencing
and becoming aware of your experience. You can do that right now.
Right now you are reading about the process of meta-stating (bringing one
state to another state) and right now, as you are reading this, you have the
opportunity to learn about how to use your self-reflexive consciousness in a
precise way to make your life much better. By stepping back from your
present state of learning (a primary state) you gain a larger perspective
about your learning. Now if you consider this a good thing, then when you
step back from your learning state and notice the joy and delight you take
in learning, you create a meta-state of joyful learning.
In doing this, you have become mindful of your learning, and specifically
the quality of your learning. What is that quality? In this case,
“joyful.” And that’s because you layer a sense of delight about learning as
you “step back” from your experience. Nor does it end there. Noticing this
process, you could then amplify that delight by thinking, “I’m actually
pretty good at learning.” Yet that thought (another mind-body state) does
not just amplify the joy, it adds another awareness to your awareness of
joy. In this you bring an awareness about yourself and one of your
capacities— “I’m pretty good at learning.”
If mindfulness refers to expanding your consciousness and becoming more
present and more aware, then the meta-stating process itself provides an
important key for “running your own brain.” It enables you to take charge
of the process of coming fully into the Now and being present and aware of
this moment. That is actually an advanced form of mindfulness, one that
many are not yet ready for. First they have to undo their negative
meta-stating.
That’s probably why many seek to gain mindfulness by a passive mediation in
which they try to not think. Actually, their problem is that they are
“thinking too much” and thinking too much about the wrong things! This
especially works for those who already have the negative meta-stating in
which there is a lot of internal chatter of judgment and self-criticism.
That form of mindfulness involves first inducing both a physical and a
mental relaxing. It then seeks to stop all of the inner voices by which a
person has learned to insult themselves or push themselves with demands
about all that they need to do.
What’s wrong is that over the years they have taken all of the voices of
parents, teachers, friends, and enemies and meta-stated their commands,
judgments, and insults. They now have a layer of “consciousness” in their
heads torturing them. This is the “inner dialogue” that’s preventing them
from hearing their own inner voice and that makes their inner world noisy,
unpleasant, and even painful.
First then, they need to learn to meta-state themselves with a calm and
quietness. They may use the NLP intervention of noticing their inner voice
and changing its qualities. “Where is that voice? What is its tone? Its
volume?” Then by lowering the volume, making it sound humorous or sexy,
they bring these (so-called) sub-modality shifts to the voice and meta-state
a change in the voice. You could also meta-state it with challenges:
“Is this voice speaking truth to you? Do you believe what you are saying to
yourself? Do you want or need this message? Have you had enough of it?”
These questions enable you to “quality control” the noisy self-talk that
confuses and stresses so that they are calmed and reduced and even dismissed
as irrelevant today. They enable you to meta-state them with a new
decision—you will no longer listen to them. The mindfulness that then
results is a calmer consciousness—one of peace and patience. Now you are in
a position to begin to listen to your own inner voice and move forward to a
more authentic way of living that will be congruent to your beliefs and
values.
Now you can engage in the more advanced forms of mindfulness—consciously
managing the higher levels of your self-reflexive mind. Now you can “step
back” and customize your consciousness so that it has the quality of peace
and serenity that you want, of passion and excitement that you desire, of
love and compassion that you choose, etc.
This is what we do in the Accessing Personal Genius (APG) (also called
Self-Leadership]. First you identify the primary state that you want and
from which you want to operate when you are engaged in a particular activity
such as reading, writing, coaching, training, parenting, delegating,
leading, managing, etc. Then you begin to set frames of meaning
(meta-states) about that primary state. What qualities of mind-and-emotion
do you want about that state? What state of mind or attitude do you want
when you are engaged in that activity? What mental-emotional resources do
you want? Whatever your answer—this establishes the kind of mindfulness
that you’ll have in your “genius” or “flow” state.
The good news is that it is your choice. You no longer have to wait until
you are “in the mood” or when the right external circumstances arise. Now
you can choose to turn on that best state at will. Now the key to your
optimal states is in your control. Now its your decision about how to “run
your own brain” and access your most excellent states for achieving the
things that are important to you. And that’s what you will learn in APG
—the flagship training of Neuro-Semantics.
