The following metaphor is used effectively when working with finely tuned athletes preparing for a major bodybuilding competition. This story may be used at any skill level the client is currently at for to them the obstacle in front of them is huge no matter what the competition level may be.

"So as we relax..... we find ourselves looking inwards to break through..... bust through our training plateaus...look deeper inward as you relax..... the calm about the contest..... the relaxed feeling you are searching for is there inside of you......as you relax and delve deeper into your powerful subconscious mind feel the power of your mind at work..... at work to find the answers for yourself...

As you are relaxing with each word you hear me utter.......you hear me utter words and you relax still even more... I'd like to tell you a story of the time I went to Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota I believe, or perhaps it was North Dakota, no South.....

....Upon coming on this huge, outrageously wonderfully giant sized mountain.... I was amazed by the enormity of what men had done with the face of this mountain.....Simply amazing....that is, amazing to me..

For the park rangers who made sure that the tourists like myself found the park to be clean, safe, and inviting, barely turned to glance at the mountain....the handsomely rugged faces of our nation's leaders of past days no longer were sufficient to capture their attention.....instead they found themselves concerned with trivial matters as to what type of car had just parked in the nearby parking lot.......the whole process of how the faces had been carved in the inpenetrateable stone were lost on these guides, only mere facts now to them which they were required to recite to tourists........the distant sound of chisels, air hammers, men calling directions out loud being carried by the wind for miles, were now not audible to them...only to the tourists in front of them...

........as my mind soared, and lept to the very summit of the tallest face...imagining the joy and ecstasy the stone cutters experienced..the rangers felt none of this at all, instead merely looking at the watch on their hands, making sure they didn't spend one extra moment in front of this massive structure....I suppose it is easy when exposed to such massiveness, every day to be blase about it...to take it for granted...to forget about the very process which made it all exist..

.......it perhaps is easy to turn a wonderful, lifetime remembering event into merely a trivial everyday occurence.......sometimes ..I would guess...we all do this.. we take what we have worked so hard for for granted..forgetting about all of the hard effort which made it all possible........forgetting how we overcame each obstacle along the way........never wavering,strong and defiantly confident that we would succeed..

Look now deeper for your training answers.. they are there...just as always...become not blase but instead boisterous and confident in what you have already accomplished, what you will accomplish..

What you have done is truly awe-inspiring and awesome to behold ... a physique which others marvel at is now, at times taken for granted..turn around and look at the mountain you have created...the hard hours of chiseling bits of rock off... to create this impressive masterpiece..

Relax..enjoy your efforts..the people around you marvel, take your turn now and admire your work..well done..yes, indeed well done".

The client may then be brought back into a fully conscious state if desired. The client will experience a profound sense of peace and at ease.This sense of relaxation is exactly what will help the client overcome the obstacles before them.

Ed's note: Thanks Roger !
