‘Harness power of
mind’ Saturday March 18 2006 11:02

Programme your mind to achieve your goals,
for the mind has infinite power which can be harnessed
to attain individual and organisational goals, tells
Murli Menon, an internationally acclaimed ZeNLP
trainer.
He is in the city to hold a series of
lectures on ZeNLP which combines Zen meditation with
Neuro Linguistic Programming.
ZeNLP is a
perspective on how success at work and in life can be
achieved through self-realisation and introspection. Zen
meditation relieves physical, mental and spiritual
stress.
“Do you know that clapping is best for
relieving physical stress? It has been scientifically
proved that keeping a coin on your forehead enhances
your memory and concentration. Zen meditation can take
care of overweight and even wrinkles.
“The sounds
of nature will relieve your mental stress and for
spiritual happiness one can turn to prayers,” he said.
And if you are not religious, just chant ‘Charles
Darwin’, he added.
Besides, a healthy Zen diet
can lower cholesterol levels and boost
immunity.
Zen meditation improves conceptual and
analytical abilities and stress management skills of
teams, with a focus on body language and communicating
with the unconscious.
A non-resident Keralite (he
hails from Kollengode in Palakkad district) now settled
in Ahmedabad, Murli has been pursuing advanced doctoral
research on the effects on Zen meditation on the
unconscious mind.
He is the president of
phenoMenon consultants inc, Ahmedabad, which conducts
stress managements workshops for senior managers based
on Indian, Buddhist, Zen and Tibetan scriptures which
are attended by senior managers, company directors and
CEOs.
ZeNLP is a school of psychological thought
which believes that the language of meditation can bring
about a structural change in behaviour. ZeNLP gave him a
second life. The left side of his body was paralysed
after a dreadful accident in January 1995 and the
doctors had written him off as a vegetable. But, thanks
to the NLP training and the proximity to Swami
Rajanish’s ashram, he had a miraculous recovery within
five months.
“When I was bed-ridden, I wrote down
20 goals and have achieved four of them so far -
becoming a trainer, travelling to the hottest and
coldest places on earth and visiting Manasarovar,” he
said. He goes around the world giving relief to cancer
patients, spastics, dyslexic patients and, most
important, the stressed up groups belonging to all walks
of life.
“I don’t claim a cure for the terminally
ill, but ensures a better quality of life,” he
said.
Annie, a Malayali nurse who attended on him
when he was bed-ridden, had noted down his day-to-day
improvement and that went into his first book ZeNLP -
The Power To Succeed.
‘ZeNLP: The Power to
Relax’, his second book, speaks about his interactions
with different tribes like the Mankadia and Kadia tribes
of Orissa, Sidhi tribe of Gujarat, Bonda tribe on the
Andhra Pradesh-Orissa borders and the Murut tribe of
Indonesia. He undertook these journeys to learn the
techniques they used to remain stress free, such as
clapping, dance, exercises and harmony with
nature.
His books have been prescribed as
textbooks in different American universities. His name
is listed in the ‘International Who’s Who of
Intellectuals’ by International Biographical Institute,
Cambridge.
Murli is the only Asian to become a
certified member of ‘We Care’ Coalition of USA and is
the recipient of the International Award for
Distinguished Leadership given by American Biographical
Institute, USA. He consults on tribal vaastu
which is based on the ancient, traditional tribal
knowledge of building science which teaches the art of
generating positive vibrations.
Expressing
concern over the mushrooming of stress management
techniques, he quoted Eric Hoffler, ‘The young gurus in
India are so busy teaching that they have no time left
to learn.’
