Key #1
Calm, Cool, & CollectedYour Physical State: From Tense to Relaxed
ALPHA CONDITIONING
Under no circumstances do I naturally fall asleep. I allow myself to relax . . . I relax and allow myself to become as comfortable as possible. I feel myself relax. I allow the sensation of gentle rest to begin flowing throughout my body. I can feel myself growing more and more relaxed with each and every breath that I exhale. I visualize a balloon exhausting all its air. I too relax, releasing greater and greater amounts of tension as I exhale . . . dissolving into the deepest state of rest. I feel . . . feel . . . the sensation of soothing relaxation as it begins in my toes . . . and each and every fiber and muscle in each toe now responds to the irresistible urge to let go . . . to let go. Each toe grows limp, loose, and relaxed. As a dry sponge absorbs warm, languid liquid . . . my body absorbs the soothing, languid, glowing quietness . . . of relaxation. Irresistibly . . . the relaxation flows into both of my feet. Smoothly yet quickly, with an ever-increasing sense of pleasure and enjoyment, the sense of peaceful, calm relaxation reaches my knees . . . and my knees relax. Swiftly now, like that thirsty sponge . . . soaking up warm liquid, the relaxation spreads to my upper legs, saturating them . . . spreading smoothly into both hips, and I am, from the hips all the way down to the tips of my toes . . . firmly aware . . . and yet deeply relaxed.
With every breath now, my level of conscious awareness grows less and less . . . and less. Feeling safe and secure, my legs seem to fade . . . fade . . . fade away. Every breath is slow and easy . . . slow and easy . . . slow and easy. As I relax deeper and deeper, the same soothing, tingling . . . relaxation . . . now begins to develop in my fingertips, filling each finger smoothly, deeply, and totally, with the sensation of deep relaxation. Each finger discharges every last bit of muscular tension, and in doing so . . . grows limp, loose, and relaxed. As the relaxation grows deep and complete, it spills over into both of my hands, saturating every tissue . . . every fiber . . . every cell . . . with the most enjoyable sensation . . . of absolute ease and quietness. As tension is dissipated, I become aware of the sensation of the free-flowing circulation of my blood, which adds to the glow of relaxation. Both my hands are now completely relaxed . . . and the relaxation spreads with increasing effectiveness into my wrists, and my wrists let go . . . into my forearms . . . and they, too, grow limp and relaxed. My elbows let go as they too . . . seem to fade . . . fade . . . fade away.
Swiftly now, the growing sensation of utter calmness and tranquility permeates my upper arms . . . the muscles grow limp and relaxed . . . and finally permeates both shoulders and . . . my shoulders let go . . . very limp, very relaxed. With each soothing, satisfying breath, they seem to fade . . . fade . . . fade . . . from my conscious awareness. My legs are deeply relaxed, breath takes me deeper and deeper. Every breath finds me with less and less conscious awareness, but with greater and greater receptivity of my subconscious mind. I am, from this time forward, growing more relaxed, serene, and calm during all my waking and sleeping hours. I can, at any time, achieve this same deep sense of relaxation and quietness. I have the ability to relax and I do so with the greatest ease and pleasure . . . making relaxation the easiest thing I do.
Upon awakening . . . I find I am more refreshed and more invigorated than I have ever felt in my whole life. I always find relaxation refreshing . . . invigorating . . . rejuvenating. You now have the choice to either awaken or to drift off into a normal, natural sleep.
If you are going to awaken, say:
Twenty minutes. Wide awake.
If you are going to drift off into a normal, natural sleep, say
I am now going to drift off into a normal, natural sleep. When I awaken, I will feel fully rested, calm, and at peace with myself, the world, and those around me.
Once you have completed the above program, you can progress to a more immediate form of Alpha conditioning . . .

RELEASE AND CLEAR SCRIPT
So relaxed . . . so relaxed . . . slowly drifting into a most satisfying state of relaxation. Relaxation is good for me. I release every last ounce of useless tension . . . as I rest contentedly, to awaken when I must, refreshed and invigorated. I am alive with the feeling of freedom, ofpromise, of exhilarating positive expectation. My mind is clear . . . my body recharged . .
. and my past deactivated . . . and left behind me.
As I relax . . . I release every unhappy experience of the past . . . and everything connected with those experiences. I find it easy to let them go. I am a part of life . . . as are we all . . . and we all move, live, and think, as we have a right to. Life goes on, and so do I . . . growing rich in experience . . . and in capacity to achieve. My positive experiences supply me with a directness to meet the challenges of my life. All I must do is use the amazing
power of my subconscious mind. I am using that capacity now to disengage me from every negative . . . destructive . . . and harmful impression ever made upon me. They fade . . . fade .. . fade out of my life forever.
I am grateful and thankful for every experience of the past. I now forgive myself for every mistake I have ever made; and I forgive everyone else who may have in any way harmed me. Iknow that out of each experience . . . as I understand it . . . good must surely come to me. I forgive myself for every mistake because I know that each mistake is a stepping-stone to greater understanding . . . to greater opportunity . . . and to greater achievement. I grow stronger with each experience . . . and I am stronger than anything life can offer. I am preparing myself to meet its challenges directly . . . free of negative conditioning. I am more than any challenge . . . for I possess the power and the ability to channel any experience into a rich and rewarding way of life.
I now fully release the past . . . and all its effects upon me. I am free . . . free of the past . . . free to be me . . . entirely. I accept myself completely. I am a valuable and talented human being . . . I am always aware of my innate worth. There are things to be done by me . . . thatare done better by me than by any other human being. Every word . . . every movement . . .every gesture of mine . . . preserves my unique stamp upon life. For as long as time has been . . . or ever shall be . . . there is no one who can exactly duplicate me. I am pleased . . . I accept myself . . . I love myself . . . I am grateful for my new level of understanding. My acceptancereleases me from negative self-dislike
. . . and so I am now free to change that which must be changed . . . to improve that which can be improved . . . to let go of that which is inhibiting or destructive. My self-acceptance nowenables me to accept everyone else .
. . I accept myself . . . I accept others as they are . . . I accept even those who are unacceptable .. . as unacceptable . . . and go on my way.
I bestow upon others my affection . . . true and unencumbered. In my imagination . . . I see them having all the good I desire for myself. What I desire for myself, I also desire for everyone else . . . I have fulfilled my nature. I have supplied myself with those pricelessqualities and feelings . . .
acceptance . . . love . . . and forgiveness . . . and so I now have them to give. I give them freely. I feel the warmth and excitement of building a new and rewarding life. A firm, quietsense of self-love and self-determination dominates my every waking and sleeping hour. I amready to release, and do so this night. CLEAR . . . CLEAR . . . CLEAR.
After you have done Release and Clear Script:
- Remain in a relaxed state,
- repeat your chosen alpha word, and
- proceed to the script at the end of the chapter
Positive Self-Talk
When negative thoughts enter my mind about golf, I mentally say the word “CANCEL” to myself. I replace any negative thought that I may have with a positive one. Positive thoughts remain within the conscious portion of my mind much longer and much clearer than ever before. Without fail, without exception, without excuse, each and every time a negative thought or idea enters my mind I mentally say the word “CANCEL” to myself. My personal life is in order, my private life is content, and my health is in correct order. I see myself how I want to be. I am positive, happy, healthy and glad to be alive.
I know that being positive, happy, healthy and being glad to be alive is called being “in the zone.” I am in the zone when I am on the golf course. I understand that being “in the zone” is when I feel that I am winning all of the time … it is an unstoppable, powerful confidence that means that I am the best that I can be. I am always absolutely doing and achieving what I set my mind to do. I am thankful that through the power of positive thinking I have the ability to create positive actions. My internal positive self-talk allows me to achieve whatever outcomes I want to work towards. I know that when I practice positive self-talk, my subconscious mind allows positive thoughts to flow through to the conscious mind.
Every day that I play golf I am physically stronger and fitter. I am more alert, more wide-awake, and more energetic. Every day that I go to the club I remain so deeply interested in whatever I am doing. When I am on the course playing, my mind is much less preoccupied with myself and I am much less conscious of myself. I focus on the task at hand. Every day that I play golf my nerves are stronger and steadier. When I am over the ball my mind is calm, clear and composed. I think clearly … I concentrate easily … my memory is sharp … I see things in their true perspective and do not allow them to get out of proportion. Every day I spend time on the golf course I am emotionally calm and tranquil. I feel a wonderful sense of personal well-being, personal safety and security. I am completely relaxed and tranquil. I have confidence in myself and in my ability to make good shots. I am optimistic, happy and confident. I stick up for myself … I stand on my own feet … I hold my own ground.

Mastering Fear
In order to prepare to compete when I am at the course, I go through my round quietly in my mind. My mind is serene as I take slow deep breaths and allow quiet to occupy my insides…I spend several minutes going over the round in my mind…. I relax and breathe…relax and breathe…relax and breathe. Calm and trust is all that is right. If there are any unnecessary internal voices, I use counting so that my unconscious mind can assume control of my body and its reactions. One...relax, two...breathe...three, four, five…relax, six…breathe, seven, eight…relax and breathe…nine, ten. Counting calmly puts me into a state of relaxation. I feel composed and free of tension … my breathing is slow and even.
