Self Mapping: A Sat-Nav To The Soul - Brian Mayne
Tuesday 1st September 2009
By ‘Goal Mapping’ founder, Brian Mayne
These days more and more of us are using Satellite Navigation systems to get from here to there. But what about a system that guides you back to a reunion with your soul. That’s the aim of Brian Mayne’s Self Mapping.
Brian is an enigmatic character with a colourful past. Born into a Travelling Showman’s family Brian had a nomadic childhood leaving school at thirteen with no qualifications and poor levels of literacy. Despite this he went on to help run the family amusements business and enjoyed a good level of success.
When the business crashed in the recession of the early 1990’s Brian lost everything and found himself in a dire situation; he had no assets, no qualifications, and because he had always worked for the family business, no real past employment history. There was very little to put on a CV, that’s if he could have put one together, because at 29 he was still relatively unable to read and write.
This was actually the start of a dazzling new period in his life. He says; “Through a chain of synchronicities I discovered the secret of personal development - the realization that; you can change the condition of your life by altering the attitude of your heart and mind.
I was shown some very simple but powerful self-improvement techniques and, through their use, I learnt to read and write well, paid off my debts and rebuilt my life. Little did I know in those early days that I would go on to help countless thousands of people around the world improve their lives with my own personal-success systems.”
In his latest book ‘Self Mapping’ he says; “We all crave comfort, it starts the moment we are born and we chase it throughout our entire life.
My baby daughter Ayesha craves comfort through cuddles, milk and her dummy. She laughs when she’s in comfort and cries when she’s not.
As we grow our need for comfort drives us to seek it in admiration, possession and power. In a challenged life where the love is lacking, people often search for comfort in excessive amounts of food, drink, sex or drugs. And while all of these things may bring moments of pleasure, joy and even at times bliss, they never truly satisfy that deep inner yearning for comfort at our core and only result in some form of dependency. We are ever chasing the ‘comfort dragon’.”
If we are fortunate, we release that these pursuits are ultimately unfulfilling search for something meaningful such as caring for others, supporting a cause or following a faith. Unfortunately, we tend to carry with us the same flawed mindset and deep cravings for comfort that drove our search in the first place. And, inevitably, we discover that even these worthy aims and ideals don’t truly satisfy our deepest and most primal need for comfort at our core.
In truth, it is only by being still and connecting with our essence, the part of us that is joined with our soul, that we ever truly find the authentic complete comfort and perfect peace that we crave.
The Self Mapping System
Through a combination of ancient wisdom and modern psychology, fused together in words and pictures, the Self Mapping system helps you connect a little more each day with the part of your self that exists in eternal comfort - your soul - and bring it into all the areas of your everyday life.
This simple but power technique will guide you to create a fun and exciting Map of the best of YOU - a blueprint of your true potential - and design for living your grandest life.
