In this conversation with Piers Thurston, Piers shares how everything is a mirror.  As he explains, this is particularly seen in other people and in our wants and desires. What we see as others is an opportunity to look at how the idea of me is showing up. Same with what we want – looking The post EP352: All of life is a mirror with Piers Thurston appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.

This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that can exponentially increase the performance, resourcefulness and well-being for any individual or organisation. In this exploration provoking episode, Piers Thurston and Dr. Amy Johnson explore the transformative concept of 'Before Psychology.' They discuss how recognising the base-level awareness that precedes thought and perception and feeling can unlock profound shifts in peace, performance, and human potential. The conversation delves into the challenges of perceiving the ordinary, innate wisdom often overlooked. It emphasises detaching from any pre-learnt to experience a more direct and untainted inquiry into reality. The episode offers insights into achieving psychological freedom and fulfilment by realising an ever-present ordinariness rather than acquiring new techniques.  Debunking the myth of cause and effect Amy is the author of 'The Little Book of Big Change', she is a regularly featured expert on The Steve Harvey Show, Oprah.com, as well as Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and Self magazine.

What is our identity before psychology?This episode is about self-enquiry, a process you can do to explore what your fundamental identity is, before psychology.We tend to have an idea about who we are, based on thoughts about our roles in life, our beliefs, what has happened to us in the past, our relationships, tribal affiliations and so on. navigate the social world we live in - but it is certainly not the whole story. And we overlook this deeper essence at our peril.My guest is Piers Thurston who skillfully leads people through self-enquiry. He leads me (and you!) through an actual direct experience of self-enquiry at the end of this recording.There is a second part to this conversation, in which we go deeper and explore the implications and benefits of this process & understanding, and it is available to members of my newsletter group, A New Way of Being.

On Sundays where possible I will publish conversations either with other teachers or with people on my programmes in which we look at different aspects of self and other. Today is a conversation with Piers Thurston recorded for his podcast about the nature of free will. 

On the 37th episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I am delighted to have Piers Thurston as our guest.Piers is the founder of Quality of Mind, where he explores profound realisations that precede psychology, leading to transformative shifts in psychology. In this episode, Piers takes us on his journey, from exploring counselling, NLP, and other modalities to direct path non-duality. We also discuss the challenges often faced in personal development rooted in self-identification, breaking free from our addiction to focussing on our psychology, transcending the confines of the mind while fully embracing our emotions, and ultimately, discovering a sense of oneness and ease that can be experienced in life when we let go of our attachment to the separate self.If you're frustrated with your personal development endeavours or you find yourself clinging too tightly to your self-identity, at the cost of more fully connecting with others and life itself, this episode offers plenty of food for thought.It articulates or points to a oneness that you've perhaps long suspected, but resisted embracing, that can have a profound effect on how you perceive life.Subscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for shorter clips and reflections.Contact me at mark@whatisagood.life to book a free 30 minute consultation for one-on-one coaching programs or to hear about corporate workshops I am offering around this question.Running Order:02:14 What makes people tick?07:02 The space before psychology10:22 Realising there is something more14:19 Personal development is predicated on a self identification18:22 The pursuit of oneness through various modalities21:52 Getting over our attachment to our self24:36 Going beyond the mind30:39 Embracing emotions and the human experience36:39 Not taking conflict so personally42:36 Not resisting what is56:14 What is a good life for Piers?For further content and information check out the following: - For the podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/- Piers' LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/piersthurston/- Piers' website: www.qualityofmind.biz 

In this episode we speak to Piers Thurston who is bringing about groundbreaking change in the way we understand how our minds work. Piers works with business teams and entrepreneurs to help bring about profound change in the way they live and perform in the workplace. About Piers & Quality of Mind: Quality of Mind is a pioneering, game changing approach, leveraging profound realisations that operate 'BEFORE' psychology, leading to transformative shifts 'IN' psychology (mindset & behaviour). Quality of Mind changes everything for exponential, not incremental results. Shifts in peace, potential and performance. I have studied and trained in many personal and professional development disciplines over the years. Now all my work is based from the transformative grounding of direct path non-duality leading to a fundamentally different and pioneering approach to change. It is both profound, and highly practical and relevant for any organisation. Read here www.qualityofmind.biz or for podcasts listen here www.qualityofmind.co.uk

On your recent podcast with Piers Thurston, I heard you say 'something that is manifested from within us and then held in place by our resistance to it.I understand how we hold it in place by our resistance to whatever it is, but am not clear about the manifesting part.Do you mean we create it due to our conditioning? Or is it something to do with the Law Of Attraction whereby we attract situations to us due to our way of being in the world? Or both?? Or something else altogether?Thanking you in advance for any light you can shed on my confusion.

Welcome to Episode 70. Have you ever experienced feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, or even burnout in your agency job?  We all know that working in an agency can be fun and rewarding. But it's also really fast paced. Many account managers are juggling lots of different client relationships, multiple projects, and reacting to the inevitable unexpected fires that also need to be put out. And, let's be honest, some days, weeks, or even months can be constantly busy and feel pretty relentless. Account managers need a high level of personal resilience, and also a certain degree of resourcefulness, and being able to keep your cool when dealing with problems. I recently had some training myself to help me with my own resilience, called Quality of Mind and it was unlike any other training I'd experienced before, because it was talking about how the mind actually works. It hasn't only helped me with my resilience, it's also impacted very positively in all sorts of areas of my life. # The foundations of this training that I did were based on what's known as non-duality, the direct path. And since the training three months ago, I've been pretty riveted by this topic and I've managed to read four books and I've watched a couple of documentaries on YouTube. I felt like I was discovering a big secret with this training, but I've been surprised to see that it was actually just this world that I knew nothing about, and that these principles that I learned, I have already been adopted by 1000s of individuals, business leaders and organisations. I've been so impacted about what I've learned that I wanted Piers Thurston to come on and share these principles of this Quality of Mind training with you. If my chat with Piers piques your interest and you're curious to go a bit deeper, or maybe you want to ask questions to see if it might help you or your agency team, then please join us for the free Quality of Mind for Agencies mini training at 1pm on Wednesday 14th of September 2022.

In this episode, my friend and coach colleague Piers Thurston and I discuss what it's been like for our coaching to move from a focus on psychology to a focus on something closer to spirituality or nonduality.

The energy just is” - in place of the “just is” did I say “dies”? “I don't see it as an activating, I see it as a revealing and that in the thinning of our confusion that clarity that we already are gets revealed, like the metaphor of the sun and the clouds” “We are infinitely creative and we can create separations, difference, anywhere and we can create any systems we want as well” Piers Thurston can be found here -> https://www.makingchangework.co.uk/ Helen can be contacted as follows: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenamery/ Web - https://wildfigsolutions.co.uk/ You can also find out more about Garry as follows: Web – Sign up for updates at www.hexochangenow.com Email - garry.turner@hexochangenow.com LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/garryturnerstrategicadvisor/ Clubhouse - @vulnerablegarry --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/activatingconsciousness/message

This week’s guest on the Higher Purpose Podcast is mindset transformation coach, Piers Thurston. He joins host Kevin Monroe for what the latter calls “a unique, different kind of conversation.” Ten years ago a mentor showed Piers a different way of seeing the world. Once seen, he could no longer do his work the old way. One thing that occurred to Piers in the last 10 years is that there's so much richness in the most ordinary of lives. Kevin comments that he named his community This Extraordinary Life because the life we have is extraordinary if we embrace it. Whatever we create in our lives lands much more beautifully, richly and effortlessly when we go with the wind rather than against it, if we sail rather than row. Conventional wisdom, Piers says, is that we can achieve our goals if we work hard at them. Sailing, however, is intuitively capturing an inspiration coming through yourself. It emerges with an obviousness and direction, but not necessarily an outcome. Piers calls this flow.  When we sense that what we see in our external world is real but not true, we have an opening of our aperture to emergence and sailing and resourcefulness. Ironically, Piers says, we become better at the external stuff. Piers describes his approach to goal setting. He says he never lets today’s wisdom be tomorrow’s prison. He finds that he is now retroactively spotting goals after he has achieved them. They came through with such obviousness that he just acted on them in the moment. Kevin relates how he feels frustrated with conventional goal setting methods. Piers explains that we’re not designed that way. When we get frustrated with our ability to set goals, we're putting it all on us as this separate entity. However, if we see that we are a part of a broader system that it happens through and to, it takes the weight off. Flow is when a freshness has occurred to see the same thing differently. It turns up with an obviousness and a clarity of feeling and lightness. Piers advises that you should be with the feeling in the moment. An intangible understanding of the mind increases the likelihood of the emergence of flow. Piers wants listeners to take away a lingering curiosity but also to be comfortable with not knowing. Press pause on what you’ve been taught and look afresh, he says. You don't have to look far. You just have to look into what you already are.

‘My mouth just started saying different things.' In his second appearance on the podcast, Piers talks in depth about the impact of understanding ‘The Three Principles' on his coaching, his business, and his life, and offers much insight into how coaches with a grounding in this understanding can be of service to clients, irrespective of the past experiences. And how coaching is similar to being a midwife… Piers has been coaching for 18 years, and works with both private one-to-one clients and many commercial organisations. He has two children, loves cycling, running and technology. You can find out more about Piers at www.piersthurston.com

Inside-out or Outside-in. Does it really matter whether you know the Three Principles or not? For example - if you get hit on the head with a brick it will still hurt, regardless of whether you know the 3Ps or not. In this fascinating conversation Mandy Jago (who has a keen interest in mindfulness and other compassion-based practices) asks some simple, challenging questions about the Three Principles.  She wants to know: If everything is about the inside, how does that take account of events on the outside?' How does this thinking take account of the neurological effects of trauma? How does the 3Ps fit into other modalities? Piers Thurston is a specialist in state of mind transformation, he works extensively in organisations and businesses sharing the 3Ps understanding. Piers answers Mandy's questions in this insightful conversation about the Three Principles. Join Liz Scott, Mandy Jago and Piers Thurston in this latest episode

Now he is having a wonderful time exploring the Principles with his clients, both in the corporate and private client worlds. Piers is currently in the final stages of divorce and has generously agreed to share what he's learned from going through the experience. So in this show we explore whether it's possible to go through a relationship break-up and divorce without it being a long battle of bitterness and anger. I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: We all have our own narrative about what a relationship should be like. Recognising that that that narrative is just something we've made up (via thought) allows us to 'loosen our narrative' and be open to moving onto a different relationship with the other person, whether that's as friends, amicable exes or something else. Some thinking can be particularly seductive - Piers likened it to being sucked in by the Dementors from Harry Potter! That kind of thinking can be very hard to notice that it's just thought. But it can be so helpful to notice that even the most seductive, Dementor-like thinking isn't us (just like our dreams aren't us), it doesn't last 24/7 and when we're not thinking about something, we're not feeling it. We often build stories around people in our life and then continually see that person through that lens. But we can look afresh from a neutral space ('mind neutral' as Piers described it) and see the person how they actually are in this moment, without all the thinking around justification, traditional, commitment, beliefs, history and fairness. From that neutrality we have the opportunity to create a whole different relationship with them. Even knowing this neutrality exists, makes it possible for us. You don't have to stick at difficult conversations if either of you are in a low state of mind. Piers gave the example of he and his ex-wife having a conversation about money and having an awareness of their state of mind. When the feeling dropped, they agreed to pause and then waited until they were in a higher state of mind before restarting the conversation.  I loved the point that Piers made at the end: if you're going through a difficult break-up right now, there's probably aspects such as money or custody which don't look like they're 'just thought', but it is all made of the same stuff as everything else. You always have the opportunity to have a liberation from the way you're thinking and feeling about it at the moment.

How to quieten a worry-filled, noisy mind #2 of 3... A coaching session with Piers Thurston What you missed last week... I spoke to Rich Habets, a highly successful executive coach and business consultant about ‘conscious' business – or how to make money and be successful, consciously.

I'm speaking to Rich Habets, a highly successful executive coach and business consultant. What you missed last week: It was an unmissable Fly On The Wall Coaching Session between transformative coach Piers Thurston and his new client, Rachel. Rachel wants relief from her noisy, worry and anxiety-filled mind. She's tried everything, including self-help, meditation and counselling in the past. Listen to discover what Rachel found out about where all her worries were coming from. If you missed that then you missed out so... subscribe to the show and catch up with that episode after this show! And on this week's show... He says that he used to be in business for all the wrong reasons. He was focused only on money and success and he was manipulative and he gossiped, just to get the business. And he ended up burning out. Today he does the same work, consulting and coaching (and he's successful and makes money) but he does it for the right reasons, he does it from a place of service. And he's in a much happier place! So today we're talking about 'conscious' business - or how to make money and be successful, consciously. What you'll learn from the show: The real difference between 'How to' vs 'Want to', and why this is vital to understand if you want to be successful. Why some of your 'Want to's might not be a real Want to but just doing it, testing and learning is a great way to see that for yourself - Rich gave a great example of the surprising outcome when he gave a TedX talk. The power of persistence - which is a natural outcome of your service-focused 'Want to's.  

What you missed last week:It was a fabulous conversation with Reed Smith, cofounder of Gulf Breeze Recovery, a non-12 step recovery center. We talked about the myth of complexity of recovery: why it doesn't have to be a life-long struggle and why addiction is not a disease... and why we ALL have access to mental health. If you missed that then you missed out so... subscribe to the show and catch up with that episode after this show! And on this week's show... It's an unmissable Fly On The Wall Coaching Session between transformative coach Piers Thurston and his new client, Rachel. Rachel wants relief from her noisy, worry and anxiety-filled mind.

How to give children a super start in life... with Piers Thurston Piers is a top personal and business and is a father to two children - in this episode we explored how his understanding of 'quality of mind' has affected his parenting and has helped him to give his children a great start in life. Here were my fave bits: Children are a great reminder to us of how we were born happy! Even when we have an understanding of how our minds work, we'll still get caught up in thought from time to time. That's just human and the more lightly we take those times, the more fleeting they seem to be. Preparing our children to live the game of life entails showing them that it is a game and our best chance of playing it happily, is to be open-hearted and open-minded.

This week we're listening in on a business coaching session between transformative coach Piers Thurston and his new client Vicky. Vicky wants to create a successful coaching and personal development business and wants to be coached around her lack of confidence about making decisions. I loved how Piers guided Vicky to see that she'd managed to overcome other perceived obstacles in other parts of her life, it happened naturally as soon as she stopped putting weight into her thoughts about them. The same can be true of any of our beliefs, fears and limitations. This episode is a fabulous example of how an understanding of the three principles allows us to easily see how the principle of Thought is creating our reality and our perception of issues, regardless whether it's in business or anything else. Vicky reaped such useful insights from this one session that she's asked to postpone the follow-up conversations to a later date so she can focus on her studies in the coming weeks. "I really enjoyed my session with Piers as it was so useful to have someone make me see the two hurdles I was specifically finding with my new business are ultimately all part of the same thing, the made up story.  Something I am very aware of with some parts of my life but had never associated it with these other areas; this was very freeing and fun to play with and to trivialize the impact of them." Sorry, I know it's a shame not to hear how Vicky's journey continue next week but we'll catch up with her again in future. We've got a fab show lined up for you next week with the transformative coach and all-round bit of awesome Eirik Grunde Olsen. Eirek and I are talking about business (and all sorts of other things!) on the show - I know you'll love him!
