More about the Mirror Method™

Look in the mirror. That’s right, get up from your laptop or computer and walk over to the closest mirror you can find. Relax your face and let all expression melt away. Now, look over your face and especially your eyes as objectively as you can. Simply observe. Cover the right side of your face with your right hand and observe the left. Then switch and observe the right. What do you see? Is one eye larger than the other? Is one side of your face lower, brighter, or more or less inviting than the other? Are both sides of your face strong and balanced?

More than likely, you are going to notice some differences. They may be barely perceptible, or they may be astoundingly obvious (now that you’ve taken the time to look). Good, now sit back down and I’ll explain why the simple exercise you just performed (in slightly different form) has changed the lives of thousands.

The Mirror Method™ is a revolutionary process in which individual’s faces are video-taped, without expression, before and after a coaching session, training, or even at the beginning and end of a day. The individual covers first one side of their face, then the other, then relaxes both hands down and gazes directly into the camera. The entire process takes less than a minute, but can impact the course of one’s entire life. After the “before” video has been taken, coach and client (and other participants, in the case of a training) watch the video, pausing on each eye, and on the full-on shot of the face. As they do this, they make observations out loud about what they observe. No criticism, only observations. What the client may not realize until later is that the moment he or she began to observe the video, changes began to take place in his or her body at a cellular and physiological level. These automatic changes are what make the Mirror Method™ process so powerful.

Even this alone will cause a shift in the expression and balance of the individual’s face. If an “after” video were taken later that day, or even a day later, the individual’s face would be different than in the “before.” The true transformational power of the method, however, comes into play when it is combined with training, coaching, or discussion. As a Curiosity Coach works, he or she is constantly using the skill of observation. For the most powerful results, an “interview” is conducted in which the coach asks the client questions designed specifically to engage the client in a process of self-exploration.

"What do you want?"
"What is the thing that when you are doing it, you totally forget about time?"
"What does your heart long for?"
"What’s working about your lifestyle/career/family life/relationship?"
"What’s not working about your lifestyle/career/family life/relationship?"
"When was the time in your life that you felt most alive? What were you doing?"

As the client responds, the Curiosity Coach is always observing and listening. The purpose of this meticulous observation is simply this: to discover what “lights you up.” As the common saying goes, “The eyes are the window to the soul.” When your eyes light up and your face begins to positively glow, your coach knows that this is a topic or direction to pursue. When little or no change in expression is apparent, your coach will continue to ask questions and talk with you until you hit upon “it;” the thing you want more than anything; your passion. When together you get to the heart of whom you (the client) are (what’s “fabulous” about you), your eyes will light up, your skin will glow, and you will look and feel younger. And these are actual (not imagined) changes! As long as you are incorporating what “lights you up” into your life, you will continue to enjoy this increased vitality, beauty, and happiness.

After a coaching-session, training, or interview, an “after” video is taken, exactly like the “before.” Then the coach and client watch the “before” video again, and then the “after.” The results are astounding. People have often said they look like two completely different people (despite the fact that only hours, or possibly days, have passed).

With all the craze of plastic surgery, botox, and face-lifts in recent years, it seems our culture has become obsessed with looking younger, thinner, and more beautiful. And yet for all the temporary (and artificial-looking) results, thousands complain that they just don’t last. I’ll tell you exactly why: a face-lift can lift your tissue and skin, but if the emotions and lack of vitality that are dragging it down in the first place aren’t addressed, the face will eventually begin to look dragged down again. Similarly, liposuction can cause a temporary weight-loss, but if the overall issues of one’s lifestyle and happiness aren’t given any attention, the weight will be quickly regained. Curiosity Coaching™ and especially the Mirror Method™ address exactly those issues that cause people to want plastic surgery in the first place. Discovering your passion is painless and requires no recovery time, and it is the best thing you’ll ever do for your beauty, health, and vitality. After experiencing Curiosity Coaching™ and the Mirror Method™ video-feedback process, clients have been known to look five, ten, and even twenty years younger! This is an inner change as well as outer change, and as a result, it lasts longer than any fixes or cover-ups (surgery, makeup, and botox) ever could.

One of the main purposes of Curiosity Coaching™ is to discover your passion and incorporate it into your life, and the Mirror Method™ is one of the most powerful tools in the discovery and transformation process.
