Three-Minute Stillness Practice

Fixed-Point Attention

Arriving

  • Find a comfortable place to sit where you feel safe and supported
  • Set a timer for three minutes
    The first minute is simply to arrive — to settle
  • Close your eyes and notice how the mind usually looks out at the world from the position of the eyeballs
    Most of us live in our eyeballs
  • Bring gentle attention to the breath
    No need to change it — just notice it
  • Allow yourself to settle.

Re-locating Attention

  • With an inward breath, invite the mind’s eye to
    • move back behind the eyeballs — towards the centre of the brain
    • and then forward again, looking towards the back of the eyeballs
  • Let the point of attention rest between the two eyeballs in the centre of the forehead — often referred to as the third eye
  • Invite the mind to stay here

Stillness

  • Now give a clear instruction:
    • Do not move
    • Do not wiggle
    • Do not brush anything away
    • Do not scratch an itch
  • Simply: be still
  • The mind will behave like a little puppy — it will wander. When it does, gently but firmly say: “Come back. Be here. Stay.”
  • Return attention to the centre of the inner forehead
  • Repeat this as often as needed:
    • Stop
    • Be still
    • Focus here
  • Stay with this until the timer sounds

Completion

When the three minutes are complete, comfortably and easily open your eyes and continue with whatever you choose to do next.

Why Direct Communication Matters


Your inner experience, your beliefs, and your path to systemic change are complex. When you seek to transform your mindset, you deserve to communicate your deepest thoughts and feelings in the language and mode you feel most comfortable.

The ability to communicate directly, where every nuance is received and understood, cannot be understated. It eliminates potential communication gaps and builds the foundation of trust essential for true transformation.

Deb Maes: Fluent, Accredited, and Culturally Aware

You will work with Deb Maes, a Master Coach who is also a fluent Auslan user with a profound understanding of Deaf culture and its idiosyncrasies.

  • NAATI Professional Level 3 Interpreter Accredited: As one of Australia's first to achieve this professional-level accreditation, I demonstrate a deep, trusted, and long-standing commitment to fluency and accuracy.
  • A Safe Space for Inner Work: My programs rely on a strong, trusting, and safe communication environment. Fluency in Auslan provides that immediate, direct connection, allowing us to get straight to the deep work that matters.

"The benefits of being able to communicate directly about your inner experiences, with someone who understands Deaf culture and idiosyncrasies, cannot be understated."

Dedicated to Resources and Community

I am dedicated to continually creating culturally and linguistically appropriate resources. You can find my existing Mindset Matters reels in Auslan on the Resources page, and I frequently engage Deaf Auslan expert consultants to ensure the quality and cultural accuracy of future materials.

Mindset Coaching in Auslan

I'm thrilled to share some incredibly exciting news with you all! As many of you know, I've been dedicated to sharing insights into mindset and the neuroscience behind mind hacks through my reels. Now, I'm taking a significant step forward in accessibility and inclusivity by introducing reels in Auslan - Australian Sign Language. Auslan is a profoundly beautiful visual language that allows for rich communication. By offering content in Auslan, I'm committed to making valuable knowledge about mindset and neuroscience more accessible. But that's not all! I'm incredibly proud to announce that our editing team has worked tirelessly to ensure that the captions for these Auslan reels are closely aligned with the actual signs used. This means not only can you understand Auslan users better, but it also provides a unique opportunity to connect with Deaf individuals on a deeper level and broaden access for all. Your support in this endeavour means the world to me. You can show your support by engaging with the Auslan reels in several ways​:

    Clarity of Purpose:

    Discussing your ambitions, challenges, and aspirations, can help you clarify what you REALLY want to achieve and create a roadmap for living more fully on Purpose. Clarity of purpose can offer immediate benefits in terms of perspective and focused prioirtising of you attention and energy.

  • image speech bubbles

    Immediate Insights:

    Every single session you can expect to have a profound shift at a deep integrated level. This is like a 'Brain Rest'. The neuroscience around memory reconsolidation is mindblowing - it's like deleting old code that no longer serves you. You'll also gain valuable insights and approaches to start working on your mindset or specific issues.
  • image speech bubbles

    Assessing our Compatibility:

    Vital to the ongoing sucess, is assessing whether we have good rapport and whether my coaching style aligns with your needs and personality. You'll be able to experience this in a single session.
  • image speech bubbles

    Sampling Techniques:

    I have a unique way of utilising neuroscience and many impactful modalities. "Reboot Your Brain" tool, disrupts automatic responses and lays down new neural pathways. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques “Change Personal HIstory” and/or "Reimprint" — can clean-up old experiences. “Advance Hindsight”, "Pseudo Orientation in Time" & “Kinesthetic Timeline” (NLP) provide insights into your true desires.
  • image speech bubbles

    Targeted Focus:

    You can use the session to breakthrough a particular issue or challenge you're facing. A single session can give you some actionable advice and new perspectives for that specific concern.
  • Self-Reflection:

    Going a little deeper, the session may help uncover underlying beliefs or thought patterns holding you back and give you a starting point for personal growth and perhaps inspiration to discover even more about your potential.
So, are you ready to take the first step toward a transformed life?

TESTIMONIAL

I speak two languages, have achieved my Ph.D., have a great job, have three beautiful children and a gorgeous partner, but I couldn't enjoy any of these things.

I sat at my desk, immobilised by panic attacks that seemed to come out of nowhere. I should have been soaring, but my brain was clipping my wings.

I thought, 'I need a coach who could help me set goals and make me accountable. I needed a vision and targets to achieve, to feel better.' But what’s the value of working towards achievements, if the main problem is how you're operating? My most urgent problem was “my anxiety”.

Someone told me that Deb could rewire my brain and fix my glitches. Deb said this could happen in a couple of sessions, and I thought, “That can not be right. Maybe for others, but I have been carrying this around for 42 years”.

We had ONE SESSION. In that one session, I felt something profound change in me and I have not had a panic attack since.

Merci du fond du coeur Deb.
Dr Aurelie Quade

Investment

A session is $795 inc gst for 90-120 minute.
The session can be conducted either in-person or virtually via ZOOM, and can be recorded.

Guarantee

Why do I offer a full refund if notable change is not achieved? Although I encourage an expectation of 10 fold increase or change in 12 months, many achieve this in the first one to three months. And these results do not depend upon you working hard or conscientiously. Because I work with the deep unconscious structures and processes that are innate in us all, I know that you can not NOT get profound results. All you have to do is: turn up for your coaching and implement, and you will get results way beyond what you can initially anticipate.
