And welcome back to the coach's grainery. Today we are going to have a look at the guru technique because being your own Guru is the first step to life of filling an independent life. So my question to you do you dream a lot? Because in today's module, we're going to look at dream analysis, why you should throw away the dream book and get the true meaning of your dreams because it's not likely what you think it would be. Now, the reason we throw away the dream book is because Why will we let a random stranger who doesn't know our mind dictate to us that a symbol has a very generalized meaning? So it's time to be your own guru.

So in this process, what we're going to do is look at your dream and review symbols. Just gonna have a look at the symbols and have a dream, you might pick three to five symbols that really stand out to you. Because it's not about what you're dreaming, it's about looking deeper into the meaning of the symbols that stand out. So, we'll review some symbols, we'll pull out some symbols, we'll look for the meaning we'll decide the context, we'll create the message and decide on the action steps. Now, trust me trust the process is going to be awesome. Now open up a page in your book, fill it in as you go.

The first column is going to be symbols. So like I said, with the gory techniques, It's not about what the story of the dream is. It's about pulling out symbols. So for this, I've picked some random things off the internet. And I still got a message out of this, the joy of the guru technique doesn't have to always be a dream. But for today's example, I've pulled out loads of cash, write that down on the left hand side of the page, underneath it, right, both time.

Then underneath that, right post it notes and then underneath that, right laptop. So these are the symbols that we've pulled out of our imaginary dream. The next thing is we're going to have a look at the meaning of those symbols. Now, all you need to do is answer the following question about each of the symbols Now you get up to three answers for the symbol. If you only get one or two, that's fine as well. But generally, we want to see if we can get up to three.

For the example, because I didn't see example I've done 222 and three. So this is the question you would ask yourself when you're looking at the item in that first left hand side, left hand side of your page, cash, if I walked up to you and said pile of cash, what would that mean to you? So write it down next to cash. So I've written fam, ask it again, if I walked up to you and said positive cash, what would that mean to you? Some simple Don't overthink it. Just write whatever first comes to your mind.

Now for boat if I walked up to you and said, bow tie, what would that mean to you? It might be time Sorry, Doctor Who fan timelord, right? It could be if I walked up to you and said bow tie, what would that mean to you? And I'll be like color Anything else? Nothing else? post it notes.

If I walked up to you and said post it notes. What would that mean to you now for me I wrote down. So write this down next to those words like just in the column one on to the other. And then the final one. If I walked up to you and said the word laptop, what would that mean to you? So I wrote freedom connection movies, so write them all underneath each other.

So this is fun, right? So then the next part of the guru technique is deciding the contextual meaning of your drain. The con yet the contextual me. So I want you to put your hand on your heart and trust your unconscious mind to tell you out of The following what is the context for your message? Now, I've picked the example of mindset. But the examples are, it could be family, friends, health and beauty, Korea, business, finance, investment, relationships, community, recreation, home, personal belongings, mindsets, spirituality, or something else.

So if you were analyzing your dream, and you picked out four or five symbols, and then asked yourself, somebody walked up to me and said, whatever the symbol was, asked what it meant to me, what would it mean? Write that down? Then I need the contextual, the context of the during, and then I'm going to create the contextual meaning. So I would pick one of those things. And remember, you get the script for this in the binary if you haven't already downloaded it. So for the example, I picked the mindset right So the context of the message that I'm pulling out of this going forward is going to be around my mindset.

So then we create the contextual meaning. And once again, it's that question process, in the end with the words that you got out of the first symbols. So remember, I had cash in the two words, I got welfare and fun in the context of whatever you chose, but in this example, mindset, what does family mean to you? In this case, I've written down equal Is this something else? integrity? Is this something else?

No, that's it. Great in the context of time, what does mindset mean to you? coaching? Something else, balance? Something else? Okay.

Great. In the context of color, what does mindset mate mean to you? Make it a Priority ongoing in the context of art, what does that mindset mean to you? Your world make a brand. In the context of drawings, what does mind fit mean to you? create space, do it, no judgment.

So you can see how you're building out a contextual meaning from what you've decided the context of your dream is, after pulling out a meaning from the original symbols. Cool, right? Because then once you've gone through all of those meanings, you'll end up with a whole heap of words and phrases, then you get the fun part of turning that into a message around what your context is. So this is what I got. When I did it, and this is in regards to my mindset. So remember, Trudy, keep yourself equal and imbalanced when you're working on your mindset and make focus, staying in integrity in all that you do, because you are not like those people that you used to hang around with, who lack integrity.

Now, coaching is a great place for you to keep developing your mindset because you want to keep upskilling yourself to support your students. But you do need to remember to look for balance. It can't all be positive, it can't all be negative. You need the golden in the shadow to keep it balanced. And just remembering all of that came into play because sometimes you tend to let things get a little bit heavy, and you need to make it a priority. That it's ongoing that you keep working on your mindset because it's your world and you're in charge of it and you need to make it bright.

So create the space to do it with no judgment because Your income relates to this to your mindset, it's okay to invest, you're investing in your happiness. So be open to the opportunities open to what comes and stay keeping on the unblock of the negative and the things that hold you back, invest in quality training, and watch your mindset grow. So that was the message that I got from picking out those things. Then what you do after you've created the message and write it all down, and you know really think about how to play with it, I find when I create the message, it's a message from your soul. This is your unconscious mind reaching out to you to let you know that you know what, maybe you've been ignoring something or maybe there's something you need to be aware of your next step forward to create the message from those contextual phrases.

And when you're saying to yourself, read it out like a little Huh, now I tend to disassociate it's like do Trudy and I'm quite often depending on what the context is of this, give myself a little bit of a buck kick with it. Now, it's not just about getting a message because Yeah, I got the message Yep, I need to make it a priority keep looking after my mind said Be open to learning investing, remove the blocks to happiness yada yada yada you then need to create action steps because if you go through all of this and don't create the action steps, whatever the messages that your mind is attempting to get to you will start getting urgent I find when I have really bad dreams, it's because I haven't been acknowledging something in my life that I need to. So create one or three action steps so my action steps from what we did here.

Start getting more into watching personal development videos. movies, listening to more podcasts. If I can do an hour a week on that it will serve me well. allow myself to be coached. not always the best client. So allow myself to be coached.

And also use all these amazing tools that I've lent and self coach. So I'm going to, and I'm following this process like it was a dream and I'm doing the actions. I'm going to reverse goal set three key areas in my life. Now if you haven't watched the reverse goal setting module yet, it will make sense when you watch it. So you must do the action steps. Now, when would you use this with clients?

That is a fantastic question to be asking. When your client comes to you, and they're stuck, maybe they've had a dream and they say I keep having this dream. I had this really weird dream last week, analyze it, analyze it. Do this process. Now, you can probably say after doing that example, why would you use a generic terrain book, when your mind tells you what things mean for you in the context of your whole life. So, after I learned this process, I ditched my dream books and never looked back.

Now with a client. This can also be used to something really fun, whether you're face to face or whether you're doing it on zoom or Skype. If you're feeling a little stuck in a session or your clients a little stuck, ask them to pick three random objects in the room that they're in that stands out and then take them through this process. You always get an outcome. I did this when I learned this process. I was in a room with 50 people, and we randomly all like vote out some items, something that we've noticed during the day and we all have ended up with a goal and an outcome and an action to take.

It's really, really powerful. So, have fun, download the script. Take yourself through it a few times. And until next time, I look forward to watching your coaching practice arise.
