Your Last Chance

by

“Your greatest surge of intestinal fortitude and focused power will be there in abundance when you come to the realization that NOW is all you have, that NOW is your last chance,  that statistically speaking you will never get another shot at the title. With this in mind, quantum leaps in progress become the norm and your chances of winning are off the charts.”

Predictions, Decisions and More

by

Every year I like to make private forecasts as to whom I believe is going to win each round in the playoffs, as well as who will be the winner of the World Series. I also do this with football on occasion, as I have friends who ask.

Almost every year I get the grand majority of picks right. In 2010 and 2011, I nailed so many games correctly that I won steak dinners at expensive restaurants.

Last year was not so fortunate. I got almost everything wrong.

At first I couldn’t figure out how I went from such a high hit rate, to such a low one. Then I caught a couple flaws that interfered with my ability to predict.

This fall, with a bit of reluctance, I decided to make my predictions once again. I texted them to a handful of people. To say my predictions were mocked, derided and lampooned would be accurate.

One friend told me, “Dude, I’m telling you, these predictions are just flat out wrong.”

Another, who played in the MLB, laughed at me three nights ago, saying, “It looks like you’re only going to get one of of four picks right.”

My reply, “You may be right. I don’t care either way. It’s just fun for me.”

Well, last night I was texting both of these guys with lines like, “Well, I guess three out of four ain’t too bad.” And, “Doesn’t it hurt when you see how I out-picked the pros?”

Being able to sense the future is a skill all of us have. Most have this skill turned off at a very early age, and go the rest of their lives thinking that they have no intuition. Some even go so far as to say there is no such skill.

Oh, okay. So carry on, making far more mistakes than you really need to.

Personally, when I analyzed my level of intuition as a collegiate wrestler, it rated unsurprisingly low. I was a grinder. I worked harder than everyone else and when I competed, my job was to pound you with massive amounts of aggressive force. I gave almost no thought as to what YOU were going to
do. It was all about what I was going to do. Period.

This approach helped me win a national title. So, it works. But it’s a far cry from where I was in 1997, when I won the world championships in Beijing, China, in the art of Shuai-chiao kung fu.

At that time, I was much more intuitive about what YOU were going to do and what was the best course of action for me to take – but this sense was still not a highly developed strength. Far better than when I won a national title in 1985, but nothing to write about.

Then I looked into my approach as an entrepreneur and as a writer. In doing so, I discovered how I found a WAY to tap into my intuitive side – and how I did so on a daily basis.

First, I cleared my mind with specialized deep breathing exercises that I learned from my study of martial arts.

Second, as I breathed, I cleaned out blockages in my thinking to the point that there was “no thought.” Ironically, this created a free flow of words and ideas, coming to me from out of “nothingness” – then being acted upon without hesitation. It was just “sense and do.”

Recently, while going over various time periods in my life, I got to see an overview of how I went from being barely intuitive to so-so to highly. And the coolest part of it all is that I NEVER set out to develop this side of myself. It simply came to me as a consequence of “doing the work.”

Every day, I practiced deep breathing, Theatre of the Mind, Chi Kung and more. And I let the energy from these practices flow into whatever I was doing AFTER practicing.

Awhile back I got an idea to begin testing various athletes and entrepreneurs on their levels of intuition. The results I’ve come up with are both astounding and revealing. And it goes to show that we commonly think that the people who rise to the top are the most highly skilled “physically.”

And although this may be true, the real question is HOW did they get to a level above and beyond the others with their physical skills? Or, said differently, did they use their intuition to get more out of the physical aspects of their lives?

The answer is a resounding YES.

This leads me to YOU.

Ponder this question for a moment, “How much better could or would your life be if you were able to ‘tap into’ the right answers more often than you are right now?”

Let’s say you currently analyze the data, do research and still make decisions that are wrong in your business 80% of the time. Or 50% of the time.

What if you could be right more often. A lot more often.

What would that be worth to you.

That’s just part of what THE FLOW II is all about.

At my seminar I’ll show you how I make a lot of my decisions – and why my method is reliable MOST of the time.

Is it 100 percent. No. But what method is.

The key is not being perfect. It’s about being “on target” a helluva lot more often than you’re off.

The more you’re “on target” – the more you will command, in all areas of your life.

Come get some of that, my friend, at THE FLOW II, in Clearwater, Florida, this November.

You will remember and talk about this event for the rest of your life because it’s going to be a marker that shows how your life took a big leap for the better.

See you there.

Best,

Matt Furey

Children in Flow

by

Two weeks ago I gave a talk to baseball players about improving their performance. My daughter was there, appearing to be reading a book in the back of the room. My son was there, too, appearing to be scribbling drawings in a small notebook.

I say “appearing” because some people listen better when their mind is engaged doing something else. And some people who are staring right at you – well, they don’t hear or take in a single word you’re saying.

Interesting truth, eh.

Well, about an hour after I finished, I called and spoke to my son. He gave me a full run down on my talk, what he liked and what he thought I didn’t need to cover (and all of it was self-serving).

A day later, my wife told me how our daughter started incorporating the deep breathing techniques I taught – into her stretching routine for dance. Last night I sat in awe, watching her do the full splits in every direction, with ease. She then told me where she used to be stuck before adding the deep breathing.

Gotta love that.

Two nights ago, in the bottom of the 9th, Jose Lobaton, an MLB player I’ve worked with – walked to the plate with the score tied and one of the top closers in the game on the mound.

Two pitches later, the ball he smacked sailed over the center field fence and landed in the water tank. It was one of the more beautiful swings I’ve ever seen. Picture perfect. Effortless power. Aaaah. I texted Jose after the game, saying, “Now that’s the kind of deep breathing I’m talking about.”

We go through our lives, oftentimes filled with stress, strain, tension and pressure – none of which help us achieve anything faster or easier.

It’s the removal of the tension, the tightness and the strain that give you POWER, flexibility and strength.

Problem is we THINK we need to push to get where we want to go in life. We think we need to grind, create friction and make things more difficult than they are.

Yet, it’s the elimination of these very things that helps us achieve what we want far faster than we can currently fathom.

Show me a writer with tension and I’ll show you someone who’s copy is stiff, mechanical and boring.

Show me anyone in any profession who is filled with tension, and I’ll make him better by removing it.

I dare you to prove me wrong.

And I’ll reveal how at my seminar, The Flow II – in Clearwater, Florida, this November.

Come join in the fun – and take your experience of life to a level you’ve never known before.

Best,

Matt Furey

Secrets, There Are

by

Last week I gave what was supposed to be a one-hour seminar to a group of athletes, coaches and parents on the “mind-body connection.”

Most of the people attending play baseball, but it really wouldn’t matter what any of these people played. It also wouldn’t matter if none of them were athletes because the material I taught is applicable to all people, all day long.

Now, despite the fact that the adults in the audience, many of whom are coaches (two are published authors with highly successful collegiate and professional athletes as clients), and have dedicated their entire lives to “getting better” – not a single person in the room knew any of the concepts I talked about BEFORE the seminar began.

Although I was only scheduled for an hour-long talk, I taught for nearly two, and I still hadn’t covered much of what I’d outlined.

And get this: One of the biggest secrets I covered, that no one in the room knew, was how to remove tension from your body with a shaking exercise I discovered in China many, many years ago. This exercise is so powerful, that on the rare occasion that I don’t feel well, I’ve used it to recover – and quickly.

Let me give you an example: A few years ago, while in China, I got a bad case of the hiccups. These hiccups made it impossible for me to eat or drink anything and keep it down. After a trip to the hospital to calm my irritated stomach, I still wasn’t feeling too good, so I laid down on my bed and asked my subconscious mind to deliver me the answer to what would get me feeling well again soon.

Shortly after asking this question I fell asleep and the answer came to me from out of “nowhere.” I opened my eyes, got to my feet and walked to a nearby room. Once I got into position, I performed this deep breathing exercise combined with shaking for no longer than 30 seconds, and something mind-boggling happened. My stomach calmed down  – and the hiccups stopped.

I laid back down and fell asleep for an hour. My eyes opened when the hiccups began again,  jarring me out of dream time. Figuring that I should do the exercise again, I walked back to my station and did the exercise. Once again the hiccups subsided and my stomach relaxed.

Over the next couple hours, I did this same exercise one more time, always followed by a nap. And when I finally woke up and no longer had the hiccups, I told my brother-in-law that I wanted to go to the store and get some yogurt. He told me that yogurt wouldn’t be good for my stomach, that I should eat something hot, like noodle soup.

I held my ground and said we could “test” what foods I should eat when we were in the store. He didn’t know what I meant by “test.” He probably figured I meant that I would eat something and see how I felt. But no. I had a completely different way of testing the food for whether or not it was beneficial.

The way I chose at the time was “muscle testing.” I’ve used it a lot over the years – and it’s valuable – but today I use much more esoteric methods that are much quicker, easier and reliable.

Even so, muscle testing is a secret to most people. They don’t have a clue as to how it works, or why. They don’t realize how you can “tap into” and discover information with this procedure that you’d never think was possible.

Yet, it is. Why? Because information is contained in “the field.” And if your body is free of tension, and you don’t have an agenda, you would be amazed at what you can uncover.

How did I get the answer to heal myself of the hiccups? Where did it come to me from? Was it in my brain or was I tapping into something beyond the brain?

Good questions.

Earlier today, as I was driving, I began thinking about a flight I need to book in the near future. Less than 20 seconds later I received an email from a person who told me he was handling my travel arrangements. Did I sense him writing an email to me? Hmmm. Well, I don’t think it was a coincidence. Not when seemingly coincidental experiences like this happen all the time.

When you’re in flow, that is.

And this brings me to one of the central secrets I revealed last Monday in the 2-hour seminar. It goes as follows:

“TENSION IS THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS.”

Think about it. When you have tension, it’s hard to move forward. It’s hard to think. It’s hard to do much of anything. And when you do something with tension, you aren’t doing it nearly as well as you could.

There’s a Chinese proverb: “Relaxation is who you are. Tension is who you think you should be.”

Profound proverb, it is.

Ever meet someone who can’t relax? Someone who even thinks relaxation is bad?

People who think this way believe that you cannot make progress without grinding, pushing, striving and fighting for everything you get. Yes, you can make progress this way – but there are negative repercussions.

One of the biggest repercussions is that you eventually break down – and break down HARD. Physically and mentally, if you push to exhaustion all the time, there is a price you pay. And it’s expensive.

Second, grinding, pushing, striving and fighting are NOT how you get into THE FLOW. Last time I checked, flowing energy is more powerful than grinding energy.

And it always will be.

Why? Because when you’re flowing you’re relaxed. You’re not trying or striving. You’re doing while being. You’re being what you do.

I went on record last Monday saying the following, “Tension is the enemy.”

Someone may interpret this as a new opponent to fight. “Okay, I got it. Enemy defined, now I must wage war against him.”

Nah nah nah nah nah.

It’s more like “Enemy defined – now make him your friend.”

Use tension as your guide. Every time you feel tension, you’re being given a signal to “let go” – to be relaxed and smooth. To get into THE FLOW.

Okay, enough FLOW for now. I could go on all day on this topic – and will for two days this coming November, in Clearwater, Florida at THE FLOW II – a seminar that trumps all others, with ease.

Be there, my friend, and you’ll truly experience a profound change in your life as tension is released from your mind-body and much more – on all levels.

Come to THE FLOW II and immerse yourself in the power of tension-free living.

Best,

Matt Furey

P.S. Oh, and by the way, here’s another Fureyism to remember: “Anyone who says ‘there are no secrets’ isn’t in flow. The very essence of being a successful human being requires you to look, enquire, uncover, discover and recover what you didn’t previously understand.”

Blocks Removed – Flow Happens

by

Here’s a testimonial from a man who thought he was already in flow, but after getting his energy field cleaned – his success has skyrocketed. My comments to follow:

“Within 30 seconds after starting to get cleared, my arm started to get hot. I started to yawn. And then BAM, I had so much energy, I couldn’t sit in my chair anymore. I had to get up and move around because I was so energized.

What unfolded in my life within 2 days after the session was astounding. A website of mine started producing 50% more income than before, yet I hadn’t done anything to it. New opportunities keep appearing before my eyes. Everyone notices me when I walk in a room.

The amazing part is, I didn’t even know I had a block. Imagine you wore sunglasses for years and you forgot how bright life could really be. This session takes off your sunglasses and makes life bright again. It just keeps getting better and better and the session was only 1 week ago from the time I’m writing this. Thank you, Matt. I feel like a kid again.”

Matt Versteeg

M.F.: This testimonial was sent to me almost two weeks ago. And the positive results Matt is raving about have magnified and multiplied. In fact, if I told you the other “coincidences” that have taken place for him you might think, “That’s just not possible.”

Oh yeah?

It most certainly is. Remove the subconscious blocks from your field and life will open up to you on a grand scale.

And the best part of this process is this: No effort on your part is required to get your field cleaned. Other than showing up to The Flow II in Clearwater, Florida, this November.

Enroll now, my friend, and you’ll be off to the races.

Best,

Matt Furey

 

 

The Dark Side of Self-Help – Part 1 – 6 Ghosts of Fear

by

You might think this email is some sort of set-up prior to Halloween, especially since the first in this series, which I’ll be covering over the next couple weeks is entitled: The 6 Ghosts of Fear.

Others I have planned cover much more on the ghoulish side of things, so you absolutely MUST tune in … unless you want that sort of thing operating in your life. And if that’s the case, you might as well stop reading now and move on as you will not benefit from anything else in the article, much less the others.

Truth is, I’m writing to you today to discuss FEAR, and how it controls, paralyzes and prevents us from doing what is most beneficial to our success and happiness.

In Napoleon Hill’s first book, “Laws of Success,” he wrote about the six basic fears of the human race, namely:

Fear of Poverty

Fear of Ill Health

Fear of Old Age

Fear of Criticism

Fear of Loss of Love

Fear of Death

In his book “Think and Grow Rich,” Hill refers to them as “ghosts” – giving them a form and context that frankly, some people are uncomfortable with. Even so, Hill must not have cared, as he deliberately used the term,

In other writings as well as lectures and seminars, Hill went even further, making mention of “invisible counselors,” his spirit guide, “Norm Hill,” who helped him find parking places when there weren’t any – as well as the positive angels and spirits whom he invoked each day for protection, healing of body and mind, and so on.

In Laws of Success, Hill wrote that all OTHER fears fit under one of the six basic “ghost” categories, then adds, “Every human being who has reached the age of understanding, is bound down, to some extent, by one or more of these six basic fears.”

These six basic fears are referred to as “EVIL” by Hill, and they must be conquered if you are going to lead a successful life.

Now, being that Hill’s books went into circulation in the 1920’s and 30’s – and are still widely read today, you’d think that these six ghosts would be conquered, but this is most certainly not the case, mostly because many people don’t read self-help books – and those who do may not believe that these six ghosts are a HUGE problem.

Going a bit further, many people may think that the word “ghost” was used flippantly by Hill. I doubt that is the case, and friends of mine who are clairvoyant would most certainly echo the same refrain.

Whether you believe in ghosts is a personal choice. Personally, I care not whether a person believes or doesn’t. But I do care about whether a person is being BLOCKED from success and happiness because of invisible (to most) forces that drag you down and prevent you from moving forward.

And this, my friend, is the “Dark Side of Self-Help.” You’re trying to make your life better. You’re trying to move up the ladder. You’re trying to be positive, to do the right thing – but you truly feel like you can’t. Deep down you can sense there is a blockage, but you don’t see it, and if you did, you wouldn’t have a clue as to how to get rid of it.

This blockage represents why other people can visualize, affirm and get what they want – sometimes almost instantly – while all you get from your attempts are more misery.

There are those who practice Theatre of the Mind and seemingly miraculous things happen. Then there are others who want to picture a goal, but all they see is darkness. Or when they’re picturing what they want, “interference” enters the image and disturbs them.

Then there are others who know how much Theatre of the Mind helps them – when they do it – but that’s the problem (or is it?), I can’t get myself to do what I know is beneficial.

Here’s what I can tell you now, and I’ll be brief: All thoughts that are emotionalized do not stay put. They travel. Positive thoughts that are mixed with positive emotion go out into the Universe and begin bringing what you want toward you as you move toward it.

Likewise, positive thoughts that are mixed with non-positive emotions like FEAR, go out into the Universe and bring more of what you fear. This is why Napoleon Hill said to NEVER pray for something while in the mental state of fear. Hmmm.

Okay, here’s something else to consider, that I’ll cover in detail at THE FLOW II in November: the fears you experience go into your energy field and hang out. And they stay there, blocking you from moving forward.

Not only that, if you accepted other peoples’ fears as fact, you’ve got their junk in your field, too. And because their emotionalized fears are now in your field, you think their thoughts are yours.

Uggh.

This is why one of the single most important parts of self-help should be “cleaning your field” of negative energies. But how do you do that? Moreover, how do you keep it clean once it’s been purged of all the junk?

Again, this is something you can count on learning at THE FLOW II, this November in Clearwater, Florida.

In order to get you FLOWING, the energetic “ghosts” have to be cleared from your field. Once this is done, you’re now in position to use visualization and other mind-body tools better than ever before. And they’ll work so fast for you that you’ll be stunned.

So you have a choice, remove the ghosts of fear, and the other ghoulish things I’ll be writing to you about in the coming weeks – and get into FLOW – or stay stuck and forever bewildered as to why.

Best,

Matt Furey

Expand the Possible

by

“Many people believe they can accomplish anything in life, so long as it goes from A-B. But what if you were to expand the realm of possibility in your life from A-E, A-M or A-Z? Would it turn more possibilities into probabilities? More probabilities into realities? You better believe it.”

– Matt Furey

2 Kinds of People

by

“Two kinds of people, there are. Doubters, who fear taking a wrong step – so they end up accomplishing nothing. And Doers, who believe so much in their vision that no fear of making a wrong move exists. Right or wrong, the Doer takes in the results and adjusts his next step. Upon achieving his goal the Doer sees how EVERY step led to where he is now.”
