Mental Edge Technology for Peak Performance

Most athletes know the meaning of performing “in the Zone.” The Zone can be defined as a state of mind and body in which there is total BELIEF, confidence, even certainty that performance is or will be flawless. When in the Zone, one is performing in a state of “inspiration.” Inspiration literally means “In Spirit.” Uninspired is where many perform because of lack of awareness. Winning requires a specific state of mind that can be taught.

There are many sports psychologists teaching athletes and performers how to perform better. Mental Edge Technology is different because it works directly with the subconscious intelligence that is running the body. MET updates “old tapes” or memories of past performance failures. These “old tapes” keep you stuck. MET deletes the effect of a memory so you can much more easily focus on the positive outcome you desire and more likely create it.

On May 6, 1954, Roger Bannister ran a mile in less than four minutes. Prior to this feat, no one “believed” this was possible. Shortly afterward, many others followed suit. This is one of the best examples of the limiting effect of beliefs.

Where was the barrier? Was it physical or mental?

Why do some injuries fail to heal in a timely manner? It is my experience that many extremity injuries, such as knee, ankle, or shoulder sprain or strain, often have an underlying “energy” imbalance that is at the root of the problem. I estimate that approximately 30% of patients complaining of pre or post surgery joint pain, that has not resolved as expected, are thusly affected. To relieve the pain and resolve the condition, the opposite extremity must be addressed. It is an acupuncture principle that too much, or excessive energy, is associated with inflammation and pain. If there is too much energy in a painful right knee, for example, there is often a deficiency in the left knee. Patients are often amazed that by addressing interference in the pain free joint, relief is achieved in the painful joint.

Why? The physiology of a trauma can be stored in “memory” at the cellular level. There is a neurological pathway in the brain that holds the energy pattern of trauma in memory. For instance, you are an athlete hoping for a scholarship and you injure your knee. The anxiety that your injury will affect your college plans goes into memory and locks in the energy pattern of the trauma at the cell or tissue level. This is another example of the mind-body connection that is poorly understood or addressed in regards to healing. This also explains, in my opinion, why many professional athletes keep re-injuring themselves, as the underlying energy imbalance has never been addressed.

When asked about his goal, he said that he would like to reach 435 lbs. before a competition in about six months. I had Rodney visualize lifting 420 lbs., and then, using kinesiology muscle testing, tested his strength. He tested strong. This showed us he believed 420 lbs. was an attainable goal, not only consciously, but also subconsciously. He tested weak at 425 lbs. This meant that there was a lack of congruence or belief between his conscious and subconscious mind at 425 lbs. Doubt became a limiting factor at this level.

With MET techniques, I took Rodney from visualizing himself bench-pressing 420 lbs. to visualizing bench-pressing 465 lbs. He stayed strong with the muscle test.

Rodney reported to me that he rested his shoulder for three days, went to the gym, and bench-pressed 450 lbs.—up from his previous record of 415. My theory was confirmed. With MET, we cleared the limiting beliefs that inhibited his physical ability.

Regardless of the activity the same principles apply.
