Hi, folks. I want to teach you a simple tool that you can apply in your life whenever you're communicating or speaking with a large group of people, whether giving a speech or talking to a boardroom, for example. So this is a tool I use every time I get on stage, and it completely magnifies the results of my speech. What is interesting about this tool is that it has nothing to do with what's going on in your logical brain or how you're standing or anything of that sort. Rather, it is a transcendent practice. In other words, it is a tool of the mind and of energy, and it has to do with connecting with the entire audience within minutes before you deliver a speech. So to teach you this tool, I'm actually going to play this little clip for you. It's from the start of my opening presentation at mindvalley Reunion, where I acknowledge the teacher of this tool, Jeffrey Allen. That's who I got it from. And I applied this tool to get everybody connected and to actually teach the audience how to do it themselves. So check out this video.
Just get in a relaxed state. This is going to take 90 seconds. And I want you to bring to mind someone you truly love. It may be a son or daughter, a spouse, a family member, a grandparent. It could even be a pet. But an image of someone that induces the feeling of love within you. I want you to feel this feeling of love in your heart area. Feel it in your heart. Give this feeling of love a color. For some of you, it might be pink. For others, it might be blue. It doesn't matter. Just give it a color. Now I want you to feel that feeling of love. Capture it. Feel its essence. Feel it expand and permeate your entire body and surround you with a full, beautiful, loving light. Now, I want you to mentally expand that light to fill and envelope everyone in this room. See beams of light emanating from your heart area to the hearts of every other person in this room as best as you can. Feel that love within you. Expand. And if you wish, you may repeat a mantra, such as the common Buddhist mantra, may you be free of all suffering. May your life be blessed and joyful, or any mantra you want. And when you're done, open your eyes.
So there you have it. That particular exercise is called the group connection exercise. You can see it just takes minutes, but it completely changes the resonance of a room when you are leading a meeting or delivering a talk. Now, the next exercise is from Jeffrey Allen.
