[Applause]

our next subject is rapport in your

notes anywhere you want there's no place

for just right rapport is power rapport

is power earlier today we said anything

you want to achieve anything you want to

learn master experience there's somebody

out there who has a life experience the

understanding the network the capital

the thing you need to be able to achieve

it

but they're not gonna give you what they

want or they don't give you what you

want rather a need until you first give

them what they want need and you're not

even gonna find out what they want need

until you first get in a relationship of

rapport if you don't do that you're

never gonna learn anything rapport is

power what is a relationship of rapport

rapport means total responsiveness

between people when someone is totally

responding to you and your total

responding that you're in rapport

there's that connection it's that spark

that happens in certain communications

or relationships now everybody wants to

create rapport have it but most people

only get rapport with people who are

like whom themselves and they lose with

everybody else which means you got a

very limited world so we want to take it

to a different level so let's say for

example if I said to you right now guys

I want you to go out to a local

restaurant a bar and I want you to meet

somebody and I want you to develop

rapport with him a connection with them

how many feel like you do that no

problem say I and if you're not raising

your hand you're probably selling

yourself short of course you could how

would you do it though you walk at this

restaurant a bar you meet somebody and

you engage them in conversation by

asking a few what questions now is it

possible to ask a few questions and have

a conversation go boom just die is that

possible yes or no so questions don't

create rapport questions or a tool use

to dig for something what are you

digging for we ask these questions

you're trying to find something in what

that's right so write your notes rapport

is created by a feeling of commonality

rapport is created by a feeling of

commonality

rapport is created by a feeling of

commonality we people when we feel like

we have something in common with someone

there's a spark now here's the problem

if rapport is created by feeling of

commonality most people try to get

rapport by using words but you've

already learned something what

percentage of our communication skills

are words what percentage 7% which means

you're leaving at 93 percent of your

skills which is why most people don't

get rapport with a large number of

people yeah what do you do you walk in a

restaurant a bar and go hi what's your

name where are you from why are you here

and person says my name is Abby I'm from

Iraq I'm a terrorist I'm here to kill

people and you go amazing me too

now see words don't always work do they

but there is something that always works

to get rapport and that's something

called matching and mirroring matching

and mirroring now matching and mirroring

came about 35 years ago when it's we've

all done matching our whole lives but

the person who pointed out was Milton

Erickson dr. Erickson was a genius what

he did was he was a medical doctor but

he also was a psychologist and a

hypnotherapist probably the best that

ever lived and people will come to see

him who try to change everything

anywhere else in their life nothing at

work they see him for one session he'd

handle it and the reason is because he

understood something he understood that

you have both the conscious mind and a

subconscious mind and he knew the

subconscious is more powerful it's made

part that makes your heart beat a

hundred thousand times a day without him

to think about so he knew if he could

influence your subconscious mind he

could change anything and that's what he

did but here's how he did it he had

polio so he was in a wheelchair

so he spent an enormous amount of time

studying people and he began to notice

something about human beings that when

human beings got together if they got in

rapport a relationship of responsiveness

they became like each other in a variety

of ways what he called they mirrored

each other now I've taught this for 25

years I'm sure you've heard of it and

I've written in my books and it's been

taught in a variety of other areas now

but it's one thing to know it

intellectually or to understand it's

another thing to know it what you're

doing it that's what I want to get you

to do tonight so yeah

real experience of it that you won't

forget but here's the basis of it people

like people who are like whom themselves

and people don't like people who are not

like themselves to be more specific

rightness now people like people who are

like themselves or who are like how they

would like to be people like people who

are like themselves or are how they

would like to be people like people are

like themselves or how they would like

to be so question I'd like you to think

of someone you really really like a lot

and then if you would raise your hand

this person is either like you or

they're like how you want to be if

that's true is you can say I of course

that's why I like them now think of

someone you don't like I'm sure you like

everyone but if you once were a nun

spiritual person and felt these feelings

some of you don't like raise your hand

up they're not like you or they're not

like how you want to be if that's true

is your hand say I and that's the

opposite people don't like people who

are not like them or are not like how

they want to be that's the bottom line

of it so this concept Erickson noticed

he used it in the following way watch me

if you came to see dr. Erickson instead

of talking to you intellectually and

trying to get through to you he'd go

right for the jugular

by getting your nervous system connected

to him getting rapport so if you came to

him and you said dr. Erickson I don't

know this is a waste of time I've I've

tried everything and I don't know I

think I should just go he would do this

he'd go I'm sure it looks that way on

the surface but you haven't tried this

so you haven't tried everything and I

think you should stay and the person

would go Oh something about this guy I

like

you know he's not over-the-top you know

I mean he's like really real there's

just something bad in the feels

down-home and real to me right if you

came to see him as a dr. Erickson I've

tried everything waste of my time I'm

out of here he'd say you sit out you

haven't tried everything you've not done

this before you're staying right here

okay goes hey I'm like this guy's got

some spunk kick ass maybe he could do

something see he became like the pee

blues communicating with and what it was

is whatever they put out he sent the

same message back like biofeedback and

didn't train them to him so that when he

didn't told their unconscious what to do

their brain just did it that was his

power now we all do this naturally you

want to some fun gone tonight or a

singles bar and watch people when they

first meet and then you can see when the

rapport happens if they finally sit down

and they'll start to lean in the same

direction I'll start nodding your head

at the same tempo if one's tapping their

foot often you'll see other one tap

their foot the volume and tone of their

voice will start to mirror if they're on

a poor you know their outer abour you'll

see them interact opposites of this

nature now if you want to be effective

then mirroring is so easy we do it

naturally but here's the problem most

people wait till they have enough words

in common then then they put the voice

in common in the body in common but

words only 7% they don't work all the

time and by the way do we judge people

in a matter of seconds by their style

yes or no that's right right this is

your note style is more important than

substance

initially style is more important than

substance initially that sounds terrible

but it's true style is more important

than substance initially notice I say

initially have you know any substance

it's not gonna last but you can have

lots of substance and no style and

people never hear a word you say no one

will ever get to know what you believe I

give an example how many you've ever

dealt with somebody whose tone of voice

alone drove you up a wall and you

couldn't listen to anything they said

they had like Dennis trill tonality

haven't even it was something like to

say I okay so that style gets in the way

of substance now let's give an example

let's say you and I want to mirror

someone we want put someone to feel

connected to us and we're going to do it

on the phone

what are some aspects of the voice that

you could mirror that would make them

unconsciously immediately feel connected

to you what are some aspect you tell me

okay tone of voice we just said is a

perfect one cuz if you're talking like

this and they're talking like this and I

said well I don't know what are you

saying you're not gonna feel very

comfortable through time tone of voice

is huge if you mirror someone's thought

a voice they will feel connected to you

and not even know why what else besides

tone of voice could you mirror on the

phone

okay tempo what kind of person talks

with this pretty complaints like I'm

talking right now what kind of people

talking this particular place won't put

part of the country to talk at this pace

come aware where what part of the

country where a new record we've got one

New York would be a good example how do

people talk more like this feel about

those fast talking city slickers do they

trust them no they don't even know how

to say the word dog house the fast

talking person feel about a slow talking

person what I think Mary Mary we think

Mary what a big Mary what a day Mary

goes well watch nobody's ever seen this

mismatch between two people right what

else besides speed volume loud talking

people who do they like they love loud

talking people they know you're a real

man you're a real woman too who else

likes loud talking people deaf people

like loud talking people but how to

quiet talking people feel about those

loud talking people they're obnoxious

aren't they

and of course intelligent people talk

like you and I do don't they do we judge

people in a matter of seconds by their

volume by by their tone by their tempo

yes or no

you better believe we do what else could

you mirror on the phone terminology key

words there's certain words people use

again and again if you sell real estate

and somebody comes in and says I'm

looking for a magnificent home do you

want to say oh I have a fantastic place

to show you know I have this experience

myself once

look at this no no I got a fantastic

place fantastic and magnificent maybe

the same to you but I guarantee they

aren't for the other person

if you mirror their words they will feel

heard they will feel understood and they

will also feel you're as smart as they

are what else besides words tone tempo

volume accent well only if you really

have that accent because are you trying

to duplicate it it's not really your

accent you're gonna break rapport right

what about the body

what could you mirror in the body if you

were there in person what could you

mirror posture is very powerful they're

really up right you're up right they're

more relaxed you're more relaxed what

else gestures watch this if somebody's

talking and people are funny when

they're making important points people

have idiosyncratic gestures

idiosyncratic mean gestures that are all

their own so if you're talking this guy

and he said I don't think so I think we

ought to do this and he makes this funny

little gesture when he's talking about

what he really wants to do if you turn

back to him and say you know that's a

great idea can I ask you a question

though what if we do this instead you

make that same emotion with your hand

and look at him you'd be like a friend

you think I'm kidding you go out tonight

at dinner and you find somebody who's on

an angle to you or in front of you don't

even look at him just mirror them for 5

to 10 minutes they reach for the glass

reach for a glass the glass is empty no

one's gonna know it's just reach for the

glass they bring it up they bring it

down bring it down they reach the fork

reaches a fork 5 to 10 minutes 5 minutes

usually 10 minutes max after you notice

5-10 minutes you'll have some fun reach

for your glass and watch what they do

don't reach for it like that it's called

pacing and leading it's also known as

entrainment many of you know that if you

go to an old clock shop where they have

those old grandfather clocks so they

have the little pendulum that once they

widen those pendulums start out

different and they all end up in sync

called entrainment women know this but

most men don't

so I'll just share this with you women

have the ability to be like clocks with

other women when women hang out together

men they literally end up having their

periods at the same time so that all the

men are crazy during that time

is it true ladies yes or no if they are

poor their periods become in st. so

women's periods can come in sync you

could get rapport with a stranger across

the room and all you gotta do is mirror

them for five or ten minutes and make a

change right it'll make it happen all

right how many follow so what else

besides posture could you mirror in the

body what else gestures we already said

what else facial expression most of us

if someone's telling you a story and

they're like really into their story and

they're making these faces do you sit

look at them like this no you look back

and make the same stupid look back look

what about eye contact a lot of business

people and sales people on top a total

why they've been taught like if you're

really truly going to influence someone

you must look directly into their eyes

and not break eye contact for 45

straight minutes this way they know you

really mean it there's only one problem

with that problem is people like people

who are like whom themselves so if

you've got somebody just stares in your

eyes and doesn't blink for 45 straight

it's gonna freak you out what kind of

person steers your eyes and doesn't

break eye contact aliens that's who most

humans look away right so if they look

away give them a break and look away

don't make him crazy now if you meet

somebody who like locks eyes with you

and doesn't break eye contact you lock

eyes right back

you keep monitor for 45 minutes they'll

know you're an alien - it'll build

rapport what else what else besides eye

contact facial expressions gestures

posture come on what else breathing

breathing is very powerful one of the

most powerful if you breathe it the

exact same pace as another person you

will feel what they are feeling period

but you gotta be in for the same

location the same tempo and breathing is

magnificent because it really hooks you

to this person how many of you can think

of a time in your life when you were

breathing at the same pace as another

person and you felt really close for

some reason anybody think of a time like

that

see I used to do a lot of sexual therapy

for couples and when you help people in

this area you get a practice because

people pay anything they'll fly anywhere

to get this part of their life handled

so I end up with a six-month waiting

list no exaggeration I mean every single

day booked and people be calling me

based on referrals cuz I help their

friends and they'd be like I gotta see

it Gus you gotta see you now and I'm

like I got a six-month waiting list

no no I'll pay for your lunch time I'll

buy your dinner

look I really how about I refer you to

somebody I've trained it lots to be my

friend no it's gotta be you so here's

how I would deal with it I would say

okay I will give you one of my lunches

if you take an assignment I give me but

first you're gonna answer some questions

honestly here's the first question when

you make love do you breathe in unison

while you're making well and in terribly

the guy will go huh can I say let me

explain

you're here telling me about all these

things you're upset with each other

about and you talk about these things

too you're blue in the face but the real

problem is you don't feel connected you

don't feel well

and I said you don't have that feeling

of total oneness with each other until I

can more about this not gonna change it

so if you really want to change this I

suggest you do this and if you do what

I'm telling you still need me I'll give

you one of my lunches so I want you to I

want you to do I want you go home and I

want you to make up for an hour and a

half minimum and while you're doing it I

want you to breathe in unison the entire

time with each other because what

happens is you feel totally connected as

one out of who knows three four dozen

people I asked to do that only one

person ever called us back and wanted to

be able to do session because the bond

is there so try it not now later this

evening plus the great thing about

mirroring somebody's breathing it's very

subtle

no one's gonna jump on their chair and

say would you stop burying my breathing

they're not gonna notice so you got

breathing you got posture you got

gestures you got facial expressions you

got eye contact what else could you

mirror come on use your brain I know the

answer I want to see if you can come up

with it come on what else could you

mirror proximity good

what does proximity mean proximity means

everybody has a certain amount of space

that they need to be comfortable and

it's different for every single person

you're gonna meet in your life so if I

come walking up here like this and I

start walking let's say

along here and I walk up to this lady

here she's comfortable right now

if I come here I'm right on the edge of

her comfort zone

am i right mm you can see it in her face

how do I know because the muscles are

neck went ain't face my aunt it all

tighten and she stopped breathing that's

a clue now that doesn't mean she doesn't

want you to come closer but that's the

first moment of her starting to feel

impact and I come right back to here

there we go now she's breathing again

how many could see the difference could

you see it you can see almost reading

her but she's reading it so this is more

comfort what's the difference here

versus here how many had somebody do

this when they get this close to your

face and you just want to punch them how

many have this experience and they

almost always have bad breath too don't

they so when somebody and are there

people like that they get this most in

your face yes or no now if you pull back

though you just broke rapport cuz that's

what they need to feel good so you got

to like hang in there with those people

so it's different for every person that

you meet so how do you know do you just

guess no you use your sensory what

acuity you have acute sensitivity see

what's the impact oh I'm getting here is

it's working all I can come closer or

not where is it and it can change too so

I'm gonna have initial reaction and then

they let you closer but you pay

attention because if you don't do this

breaking rapport in this area people

don't even think when you're in their

space and everybody's got different

space who here freaks out when somebody

gets too close there are some people I'm

sure in this room that are total freak

outs about this you ma'am

and the black what's your name Lisa

watch come down come on give her hand

come on give her hand

Lisa come on down here come on down you

run down here at least I run down here

run down here run down here oh it's your

face oh there we go it's the face see

she's one of body-block me did you

notice that he goes boom we can hit

bodies that's okay but the face watch

what happens if you get in the face are

you enjoying the seminar what's been

your favorite part not this part where

you going

now notice once you get too close to her

face did you see how many saw that

instant reaction okay she not only pulls

back she snaps to the side because some

people most people have like a force

field who have this experience hers is

more just the face and you got close

closer to her chest or something like

that they they'll do one of the things

so this kind of person backs off but

most people are more subtle if you did

too close here's what they do they start

kind of you'll see them as ER talk and

eat and they're kind of wavering back in

like the forth if you notice their ass

is moving them further and further back

from you right or they'll do this

they'll turn sideways cuz what does that

do to creates a sense of space okay

so everyone's different now hers hers is

not the body and she's kind of being

playful now here with this as well but

the face normally is something for her

that's in effect now she's going

different she says okay I'm comfortable

with you give her hand thank you very

much now there's another one that's

critically important that's touch now

you can get more rapport by touching

some people than by anything you could

ever say but again you're gonna have

some sensory acuity you can't go up and

go he looks like a touch of a man I love

your hair love your hair really good

that's really cool really good you do

that you could get killed but he's a

nice man so he didn't kill me so we got

a notice there's notice how the man

shakes hands like he shakes hands he

puts one top of the other Genesis he

reached over he just I shook his hand

immediately he brings the other hand on

top like this and when he does it some

people they shake your hand they like

squeeze it see if they can break a few

of your blood vessels you know just to

show they're a real man other people

they got that fish handshake and

but if they fish you you got to fish

them back yeah here we go fish fish

right cuz that builds rapport but in

this case it's like boom boom I get more

connection rapport with him with that

touch than anything you could ever say

thank you so notice how does a person

touch somebody like even it's in

business notice how the business woman

or man touches their assistant in a

non-sexual way and this notice if they

come along and he comes my honey goes

thanks a lot Tony hits me like this

three times on the shoulder and I come

back and I say thank you John I'll get

more rapport by that touch than by

anything that I could say to him so

touch and proximity are huge huge now

you might say well this is interesting

Tony but what are you suggesting are you

saying something like okay they sit down

I sit down enough to mirror everything

someone does that rapport it's not like

they lift their leg you lift your leg

they lean forward you lean for they sit

back they you sit back you don't have to

do that although believe it or not you

can do a lot people not even notice but

for example you get rapport just with

the leg position and maybe the tone of

voice

because physiology is 55% of

communication if you're sitting there

let's say let's say you cross your leg

like this can I cross my leg like this

while we're talking yes or no it'll feel

comfortable to you so you start bouncing

your foot like this back and forth

can I bounce my for the same tempo if I

do you'll feel totally connected to me

we do at the same tempo and by the way I

can do it for a while and then if I

don't like it I can slow it down and

he'll slow yours down that's pacing and

leading again but if you do this if they

cross their leg and now they go ahead

across you don't have to uncross the

moment then cross wait you go to say

something and say you know what because

when you go to speak speaking requires a

change of physiology and they'll ever

notice what you're doing alright very

unique now it is true if you know they

leaned for it are you saying well right

they leaned for it I leave or they lean

back I lean back they cross the leg I

cross my they pick their nose I pick my

nose

exactly no you don't have to do

everything and if you start going like

this when they're mirroring you start

going after about 20 minutes ago what's

wrong with you

but you'd be surprised you can mirror

people and be mirroring almost

everything they're doing and they rarely

have ever noticed it right

5 Proven Ways to Strengthen Relationships

No.1, Find common goals.

A study conducted in collaboration with a dating site in the UK, found that 13% of couples,

reported no longer having the same goals.

This situation represents a ticking time bomb, as research has shown that couples who share

dreams and goals, have longer-lasting, more satisfying relationships.

If you feel like you've been out of sync, lately with your partner on this front, discuss

your philosophy of life together.

The aim is for both of you, to share what you want your life to be about, where you

want to end up, and what these things mean to you.

Look for anything that's common between the two of you, and talk about ways to work

toward that aspiration together.

No.2, Say thank you.

Think about the last time your partner did something to help you out, or made you feel

special, and then say, "thank you" for it.

You get so comfortable with your partner, it's easy to expect them to meet your needs.

Too often couples forget to express a simple thanks, whether one of you helps out with

the chores, or surprises the other with a gift.

And have you ever said thank you to your partner for simply being in your life?

It's important to express gratitude for this, not just for what they're doing for you.

No.3, Set Aside Time for Intimacy at Least Once a Week.

Couples who do the deed at least once a week report the greatest relationship satisfaction,

according to a recent study.

Even though couples who have sex, less than once a week report being less satisfied with

their relationship, the findings don't clarify whether having more sex makes partners happier,

or if happier couples simply tend to have more sex.

No.4, Create couples rituals.

Do something regularly that bonds you, such as, 10 minutes to chat before bed, always

having morning coffee together, or saving Saturday for date night.

No.5, Remember seasonal celebrations.

Many seasons of a year bring holidays periods for families, friends and loved ones, to come

together and have a wonderful time.

Keeping these moments memorable, must be your focus, birthdays, weddings, marriage, anniversaries,

and all.

Christmas is a perfect time to reach out to families and friends, to have a merry filled

moments, that makes up for the times of separation, to exchange gifts and inspiring messages,

with those we sincerely care about.

Remembering seasons and sharing happy moments, is one of the proven ways to keep our relationships

with loved ones

Ben Higgins Opens Up About Ex Lauren Bushnell's New Relationship: 'From What I Hear - Duration: 5:50.

Ben Higgins Opens Up About Ex Lauren Bushnell's New Relationship: 'From What I Hear, She's Happy'

Ben Higgins didn't hold back about how he is dealing with his split from fiancéeLauren Bushnell. The reality star has been open about their breakup on his Ben and Ashley I.

Almost Famous Podcast and has now revealed to Us Weekly how he feels about his ex's new relationship with Devin Antin.

Bushnell recently went public with her new relationship on Instagram, but Higgins insists that even if it's hard for him to see, he just wants to see his ex to be happy.

I don't know a lot about the situation, honestly. From what I understand and from what I hear, she's happy.

As hard as that is for me to think about — because it's still hard to think about and I think it would be hard for her to think about if I was in that situation," the reality star told Us.

"I was on a run a few weeks back. I was praying the whole time. It was kind of first when I heard about everything. Life was catching up with me.

There was a lot going on. I was just praying like, 'God, please clear some things up. Release some burdens or release some anxiety,'" he continued.

"I just stopped and I thought, If you're the man you claim you want to be, which I'm not always, then you need to celebrate Lauren being happy and you need to do that well and you need to mean it when you say it.'".

Still, Higgins has nothing but nice things to say about his former flame. "Lauren is an incredible person.

She's great and she's beautiful and she has a ton going for her. That girl is going to crush it when it comes to this world.

She's a good friend to people. We need people like her happy and so if she's happy right now, I will celebrate that the best I can." he said.

Higgins and Bushnell, who met on season 20 of The Bachelor, announced they were going their separate ways in May 2017 but have kept mum on the details.

"I think in fairness to Lauren and myself, the details of our relationship have been kept quiet and they should be kept quiet. But I will say there was no big, dark hidden secret," Higgins told Us.

"You can probably assume what happened if you've been around. It's unfortunate because I think we both really cared about each other. But, for whatever reason, life brought us in two different directions.".

The TV personality, 29, has been coping with his breakup by expressing his feelings and keeping a positive outlook on the relationship. "I wrote a letter right after things ended.

I wrote a letter because my buddy recommended I did. He said, 'Write down your feelings, write down your thoughts right now. Even if you never do anything with it.' I read back through that letter last week," the Bachelor alum told Us.

He continued, "It's just really saying, 'Hey, I love this person. It's hard, but it's also life.

These moments are the ones that hopefully — instead of looking back on and bad mouthing each other kicking each other when we both at some point felt down — we will learn from whatever happened in this relationship and consider it a good thing.' And it was.

It was a great thing and it was a real thing.". Although Bushnell seems to be happy with her new man, the podcast host is not quite ready to start dating again.

I've been thinking about it a lot. I'm not ready to date. It still feels weird to me. I don't know if that makes sense.

How do you take that first step and that's where I'm at right now," he revealed to Us. "I do desire a relationship.

I do long for a commitment. I do long to love somebody really well and really hard and through life and I long for somebody to do the same for me. I'm ready to find that. I'm not closed off to that.".

How to improve self esteem in relationships - Online Mindfulness Therapy - Duration: 6:51.

So I'm often asked how to improve self-esteem in relationships.

This is a very interesting area really to examine what it is that actually causes low

self-esteem for most people.

Low self-esteem is produced by habitual reactive thinking reactive thoughts that basically

feeds the emotion of low self-esteem not feeling adequate, feeling helpless, feeling very small

in relationship to other people, to the challenges of life in general.

In relationships it's feeling that that you're not able to stand up for yourself and your

needs in that relationship.

That you're not worthy of that relationship, and so on.

All of these kinds of reactive thinking is what really fuels low self-esteem.

So the first job is to literally take a piece of paper and write down all of those habitual

reactive thoughts that are associated with low self-esteem.

Just make a big list of them.

Now the second part of the process of building self-esteem uses mindfulness therapy which

is what I specialize in and that I offer online through Skype therapy sessions.

If you're interested in scheduling Skype therapy sessions with me then please go to my website

and email me and we can schedule a session.

But the principle here of mindfulness therapy is quite different than conventional talking

therapy.

So, in mindfulness therapy we do not try to negate those thoughts, those reactive thoughts

that create the self esteem.

You do not try to fight them.

We do not even try to replace them with positive thoughts.

Generally that approach is not going to be effective, simply because those self-critical

thoughts that are affecting your self-esteem and your confidence have an emotional charge,

and you can't just replace them with other thoughts that don't have an equally strong

emotional charge.

So we don't try to get rid of them at all.

What we try to do is change our relationship to them.

This is the central theme of mindfulness therapy.

The real problem is actually not the thoughts, it's just the fact that we become identified

with that we've basically become those thoughts.

We blindly allow those thoughts to overwhelm us and to control us.

In mindfulness training and mindfulness meditation, particularly, we actually learn to change

our relationship to those thoughts so that we stay as the Observer observing thoughts,

rather than becoming lost in the thoughts.

When you develop this conscious relationship that essentially frees you from the influence

of those thoughts, and the more that you focus mindfulness on those thoughts the freer you

become.

So, what I teach is to meditate on those thoughts that you have assembled in your list.

You take each thought and you hold it in the mind consciously and even with friendliness,

as well.

That's very important because that also frees you from the influence of the thoughts.

The more friendly you can be to the thought, the freer you become and the greater self-esteem

you will develop, because self-esteem really develops quite naturally when we break free

from those thoughts.

So we learn to meditate on all of the thoughts that fuel that self-esteem and the emotion

of low self-esteem, itself, that feeling of helplessness and vulnerability or hurt that

lies beneath the thoughts, we learn to form a friendly and conscious relationship with

that emotion also, because it very much needs your caring quality of mind.

It needs that.

It's like a child.

It needs the love of its parent in order to grow up healthy.

And it's exactly the same with the underlying emotions that fuel those reactive thoughts

that feed the low self-esteem.

That underlying emotion desperately needs your love, and that's a very important part

of the training of mindfulness meditation on low self-esteem.

So if you would like to learn more about the mindfulness approach to building self-esteem

and also self-confidence in relationships, then please go to my website and email me

to schedule a therapy session via Skype to help you in this process.

Thank you.

Annulment or De Facto Relationship? - Duration: 9:13.

Annulment or De Facto Relationship?

When I do an assessment of a potential partner visa applicant, I always feel a sense of relief

for the client (and yes, also for us at Down Under

Visa) when I see they have an uncomplicated life

and are both legally free to marry.

And I always feel sorry for them when I see that the Filipina lady

is still legally married because that means they have some work and some stress ahead

of them before they can start work on that partner

visa or prospective marriage visa.

Why is it a problem when a Filipina is still married?

Clearly when someone is still married, they can't just go and marry again.

That's called bigamy, and it's a crime in Philippines as well as

in Australia.

And in Philippines, unlike Australia, dissolving a marriage through a no-fault divorce is not

just a walk in the park.

Australia?

One grounds!

Incompatibility!

One proof?

Be apart for 12 months!

Get an easy "divorce kit" from the Family Court and you can do

it yourself.

I did!

Hearing took five minutes.

Thump of the gavel and it was done.

Philippines?

There are two countries remaining in the world that have no legal divorce.

The Philippines and Vatican City.

Even conservative old Ireland as taken that plunge.

Personally?

I well understand the motivation.

Marriage has become a disposable arrangement in most of the world.

Toss it away when "the magic has gone out of it" rather than knuckling down and working

at it.

I'm glad that my wife and myself are believers

in hanging on no matter what, because I know we can

survive whatever comes around the corner.

However I also well and truly understand that we all

want a soul mate, and being trapped in a loveless marriage or where the husband ran off years

before and there's no chance in him returning, well sure.

Everyone is entitled to happiness, and you can only truly sort out marriage problems

if BOTH parties are prepared to work at it.

Can't do much on your own.

One of the issues here is that young men act like young men everywhere, and here they refuse

to wear condoms.

Babies happen to couples who are not ready and definitely not committed, and

there is many a rush-marriage.

Basically, they "settle" rather than choosing wisely.

The young man decides he has more drinking and hanging-around

to do, so he takes off.

The single mum you meet has a remaining legal marriage to this

dropkick, and you are stuck with a large obstacle to

your own happiness.

And as I explained, no no-fault divorce!

Annulment in the Philippines.

Easy?

I'm sure annulments are described by many a four-letter word, but I doubt if "easy"

is often one of them.

Annulments are hard slog.

I've explained in detail in other articles about the overall basis of

annulling a marriage before, but in short it means this:

A marriage is a contract between two people that requires a commitment to a lifelong exclusive

relationship.

Like all contracts, they require that all parties to that contract understand fully

what they are committing to.

This is why you can get a drunk person or a 12 year old child to sign a

contract, because they don't understand what they are committing to.

Annulments are "a loophole" in the system basically.

If you can establish that one or both parties were psychologically incapable of understanding

the commitment they were asked to undertake when they walked down the aisle, the court

can declare the marriage annulled on that basis.

So definitely not a rubber stamp.

The Family Code of the Philippines is there to preserve the Filipino

marriage as the basis of a stable society, and they therefore don't let them go easily.

The annulment attorney needs to establish a strong

case, and then present it to the Filipino court

system.

Hard work!

A lot of evidence to gather.

Psychological reports.

The works!

Several hearings.

And all via a busy court system with judges who seem

to go on holidays and attend seminars a lot.

Some of the attorneys like to promise 6 months,

and some will present the client with different fees for

different lengths of time.

I'm sure there must be something against the rules about that.

Invariably we get a lot of frustrated clients who hope

like crazy that Down Under Visa have a solution to the

hole they find themselves in.

Do we have a solution to long annulments?

We have no way of getting involved in the court system, sorry to say.

The court system is how it is, and other than speedy no-fault divorces I

don't see that Australia has anything better.

They exist to see justice done, and that takes precedence

over convenience and always will.

The only real option to annulment is to consider a de facto relationship and applying for a

partner visa on that basis.

Fortunately that option is there, and if you find your annulment dragging it may

well stand as a realistic option for you.

De facto relationship partner visas

It's actually the same visa as a standard partner visa, ie. a Subclass 820 onshore partner

visa or a Subclass 309 offshore partner visa which is

applied-for in Philippines.

The only difference is that it's based on an established de facto relationship

instead of based on a marriage.

And when I say "established", I mean ESTABLISHED!

It's not a visa to commence a de facto relationship, especially for those who think it's a way

of avoiding a lifelong commitment.

The commitment comes first, and the visa application happens second!

Again, I've written lots of articles on the topic of establishing

a de facto relationship.

If you are already in one and have been in one for 12

months or more?

Great!

If you are almost there?

We can give you guidance to ensure you have a

solid case which the Embassy or Department will

accept.

What if you haven't even started?

Never lived together at all?

All is not lost.

But you need to accept that it will take time, and you will need

to be prepared to make effort and make changes in your

lifestyle, and you need to truly be prepared to take the plunge and to start living a truly

shared-life with your partner and to live as if you were

married but without the piece of paper that makes it all

legal.

It's going to take a year to do this, but if it looks like the annulment will take longer,

what do you have to lose?

And if you still wish to marry, good news is that you can get a divorce for a Filipino

marriage in Australia later and then marry in Australia.

Yes, it can be done.

I did it myself, and it was no harder than any other Australian divorce.

So let us know if you find yourselves stuck in the annulment cycle and can see no easy

end, and be prepared for some work with some solid

guidance and a definite light at the end of the tunnel.
