Shadowing Practice: This will DELETE your OLD Self. Watch This Everyday (2026) - Learn English Speaking with Video

1
I have read hundreds of books on habits, motivation, discipline, manifestation.
2
They're all trash because you see, unless you focus on this one thing that 99 % of these books don't even mention,
3
you will never upgrade your life because in the next 30 minutes,
4
I'm going to show you how to brainwash yourself and permanently clear your subconscious blocks.
5
What do you mean, Prince?
6
Brainwash myself.
7
I don't want to be brainwashed.
8
Yes, you need to be brainwashed You need to deep clean the gunk
9
that the world has put in your head They call it information, but it's noise See, you keep listening to podcasts,
10
watching YouTube videos Hoping
11
that just one bit of information is going to change your
12
life Riding the wave of hopium Injecting motivational dopamine into your system,
13
into your veins But it never actually sticks I know this because I'm like this.
14
I'm a seeker I would search for the master key thinking
15
that once I found it my whole life was gonna change
16
But then I realized it's not the key you should focus on
17
It's the lock itself
18
and therefore you need to realize one simple thing a man actually won a Nobel Prize for this
19
If you put a frog on a bed of dead flies What will happen?
20
Now most people will say, oh, it'll be in heaven.
21
It'll go into a food coma But the truth is
22
It will starve to death
23
Why you ask it's
24
because it's nervous system is wired to only go after what it sees in its visual field and you say Oh,
25
that's a what a stupid frog but you are just like that frog.
26
See we all share the same primal reptilian brain as the frog.
27
The truth is you are not in control of what you do.
28
You just think you are.
29
You have this feeling that you are this this doer
30
and you can do anything but the truth is you're a frog who can't see the opportunities.
31
Eyes shut to the potential around you because you are blinded by the limitations of your nervous system.
32
And if you don't wake up to the abundance around you, then like that frog, you will die.
33
You will starve.
34
And it's not your fault.
35
See, that's the thing.
36
It's not your fault.
37
You are a victim of a dysregulated nervous system.
38
Let me break it down a little bit more.
39
Think of your brain as your home computer.
40
Your nervous system is the firewall.
41
Your beliefs are the programs or the apps that you want to download into your computer.
42
And the firewall sits in between the apps and your computer, blocking out or letting in certain programs.
43
Your nervous system sits between new programs and your brain, blocking out or letting in certain beliefs.
44
It's there to protect you.
45
And every experience you've ever had, mainly the ones when you were two feet tall at the age of zero to seven, has shaped, has constructed this firewall,
46
a process known as imprinting.
47
So in other words, your nervous system is the filter that determines what your reality looks like.
48
See, there is not one reality.
49
Every second, there are billions of data, information coming at us, right? the chair we're sitting on the the wind the light the sounds you couldn't be conscious of
50
that many signals all at once
51
so your nervous system is doing this without your conscious effort deciding what to let in
52
and what to block out
53
if we tried to be conscious of all of those signals we couldn't do it
54
if we did we would only perceive chaos
55
which is actually the first reaction to taking psychedelics feldenkrais said
56
the purpose of the nervous system is to organize chaos
57
so since we can't handle all of
58
that information our nervous system it it throws out all of
59
the information that's unimportant information is threatening to our belief systems
60
information that's not consistent with the way we see ourselves our self -image
61
and then our brain constructs a model and this is what we call reality
62
but that is not reality it's our reality
63
tunnel see there is one earth
64
but there are billions of worlds each person you your your
65
friend your family everybody's living in their own world in their
66
own unique reality tunnel most of us never question our reality tunnel
67
because to question it would make us feel unsafe And the nervous system, remember, it wants you to feel safe.
68
It wants to protect you from dissonance.
69
See, this is why you've never seen a child of a Catholic become a Muslim.
70
This is why most children of Democrats do not vote Republican.
71
We usually stay in the same reality tunnel as our parents because this is what was imprinted on our nervous system.
72
This is a world that makes sense, but it is not necessarily true or in our best interest.
73
As one of my favorite modern -day philosophers, rest in peace Robert Anton Wilson once said you don't experience
74
reality you experience the reality your nervous system is capable of receiving see two people can experience the same event
75
and have two totally different reactions you have seen this throughout your entire life the reason why is
76
because two different nervous systems so to allow new empowering beliefs
77
or software to be download it
78
and take hold you have to upgrade your firewall right now
79
your nervous system firewall is is way too strong your lock is too rusted
80
and you can't let anything in even though you desperately want to you you want
81
that key you want to change your life but you can't get through
82
but in this video i'm going to show you how to free
83
and re -imprint your nervous system so that it works for you and not against you.
84
Before Tony Robbins, before all of the self -help gurus of today,
85
there was a plastic surgeon who discovered one revolutionary idea that you need to know.
86
He later wrote a book called Psycho -Cybernetics.
87
Maxwell Moss was a plastic surgeon and he would perform surgery on his patients,
88
fixing their scars, their noses, their deformities.
89
But then he noticed something after he was done many of
90
his patients still thought of themselves as ugly there was one woman who had a severe facial deformity
91
and so malts worked on her
92
and the surgery was a complete success i mean she looked incredible model worthy
93
and yet for months after the surgery she avoided mirrors
94
because she still believed she was ugly and so malts realized that the brain does not respond to objective reality.
95
It responds to the self -image of that person's reality tunnel.
96
Maltz started to do things like tap into the subconscious.
97
For example, after the surgical tape was removed, he instructed his patients to repeat the phrase, I am beautiful for 21 days.
98
Because if they didn't, they would still think of themselves as unattractive.
99
And Maltz helped and healed a lot of people.
100
But today I'm going to show you some new techniques that Maltz didn't know.
101
See, I'm going to show you some modern neuroscience and nervous system entrainment that will recreate your self -image and your reality.
102
Because listen, no matter what you read, no matter what you do, you will never be able to outperform the fossilized self -image
103
that was created when you were two feet tall
104
and like a rubber band you will spend your life only going so far and then snap back.
105
See that's the reason why so many people lose weight and then they always find it.
106
I got a friend who has lost thousands of pounds
107
if you know what I mean because you see
108
if your achievements exceed your own self -image you will unconsciously engage in self -destructive behavior.
109
I'm going to repeat that.
110
If your achievements exceed your self -image, you will unconsciously engage in self -destructive behavior.
111
Let that sink in and write this down.
112
The strongest part of the human mind is the need to maintain consistency with our identity.
113
In other words, the me I see is the me I will be.
114
See, it's the difference between somebody who was offered a cigarette
115
and one person says no thanks i'm trying to quit
116
if you're trying to quit don't say that
117
because you still identify as a smoker and you hope your behavior will change
118
but you're carrying around the same belief the same identity there's the other person who gets offered a cigarette
119
and they say no thank you i'm not a smoker this
120
is somebody who no longer identifies as someone who smokes and someone whose behavior is likely to last.
121
There's a book called Start With Why by Simon Sinek and I don't agree.
122
You don't start with why, you start with who.
123
Now why is important, but why is a doing.
124
You want to get to being so that doing is effortless.
125
This is why Dr. Maltz's patients couldn't feel beautiful even though they were physically perfect.
126
See, remember this, you have to be before you can do, and do before you can have.
127
It starts with being.
128
These scientists have concluded that 98 % of your brain activity is unconscious.
129
Not 80%, not 70%.
130
98 % of your brain activity is unconscious, meaning that the majority of your decisions that you make, the actions that you take,
131
the 60 ,000 thoughts that you have every day, that everybody has every day, depends on the 98 % of the brain activity that we aren't even aware of.
132
See, what you think determines what you're doing, but what you don't think determines where you're going.
133
One of my favorite people, Napoleon Hill, he wrote a book called Think and Grow Rich.
134
Napoleon Hill said the greatest sin of all of mankind is to neglect to use their greatest asset
135
because he said if they use that asset, they will have everything in abundance, everything that you could ever want.
136
He didn't say within reason he said everything that you want in abundance
137
and napoleon hill said
138
that greatest asset is your subconscious mind see this is why
139
all the books you can throw away in the garbage they don't matter unless you get to the subconscious
140
and the subconscious doesn't matter unless you walk through the doorway
141
of your nervous system now here's what most people miss the
142
subconscious it doesn't respond to logic it doesn't respond to spreadsheets to five -year plans
143
because scientists have found
144
that the subconscious is stuck at the age of four to seven it's a permanent child
145
so if you want to motivate a child what do you do first you have to allow
146
that child to feel safe once you allow it to feel safe then you can contact the nervous system
147
and start to re -imprint.
148
Now, you may have heard people say, maybe you said this yourself, oh, I can't change, that's just the way I am, that's just who I am.
149
Maybe you've said this yourself.
150
Well, how do you think you got to who you are?
151
Your nervous system was imprinted at certain moments by events that you watched, that you heard, or you experienced.
152
Again, Feldenkrais says the purpose of your nervous system is to organize chaos.
153
So, it formed in a certain way in order to make sense of the chaos
154
that was around you at that time ultimately to protect you
155
but sometimes it screws up it gives us these irrational fears right the negative thinking it is imprinted on us
156
so deeply and it becomes very difficult to come out of these protective reality tunnels
157
and most of us were imprinted by accident you know what
158
i'm talking about i'm talking about our parents right unconscious imprinting
159
this is parenting our parents did the best they could at their level of consciousness But let's face it.
160
Most of them screwed up.
161
Therefore, we have to re -imprint ourselves.
162
Now What is imprinting?
163
There's a story of a baby giraffe whose mother was shot by hunters right after it was born.
164
The baby giraffe imprinted on the first object that fit the giraffe archetype, the Jeep.
165
The Jeep has four wheels like the four legs of a giraffe.
166
It followed the Jeep around.
167
It attempted to nurse from it and
168
when it became an adult tried to mate with it the
169
baby giraffe instead of imprinting on his mother imprinted on the
170
jeep there's another story of a man who was in a
171
car with his girlfriend this is the first time they were
172
about to get get it on right as marvin gay would say well as soon as he was about to
173
finish a policeman pulls up to his car flashes his light inside of the car says what are you two doing?
174
That man became impotent for 20 years because of that one imprint.
175
It created shame and embarrassment until some doctors at Masters and Johnson worked with him and cured him through re -imprinting.
176
Now, these examples are important because they show during situations where the brain is vulnerable under intense emotion,
177
it creates these long -term imprints.
178
Most of your limiting imprints were created the same way by trauma, right?
179
Which created some type of fear, a lack of self -belief, timidity, perfectionism, people -pleasing.
180
So to re -imprint, what do we need?
181
We need intense emotion.
182
Intense emotion is the key and feeling is the secret.
183
Now here's how to re -imprint dedicate your time to these practices
184
and they will change your life
185
but understand this the heart I know this is hard to believe growing up in this school system
186
that we all had to go through
187
but the harder you're gonna try this the more difficult it
188
will be relaxation is the secret you should do these practices
189
when you wake up and before you go to sleep because this is when the brain is most vulnerable to suggestion.
190
Now let's talk about brain states.
191
your brain is normally in beta right as you watch this
192
video you're in beta beta is the normal activities the thinking the stress now as you're breathing slows and you get calmer
193
you go from beta to alpha alpha is the calm relaxed state and then finally when your alarm systems really shut off,
194
you go into what's called theta.
195
Theta is where you want to be.
196
Theta is the state of meditation, the state of hypnosis.
197
It's the state of light sleep.
198
And see, as you fall asleep, your brain enters this theta state.
199
And this theta state is highly receptive to suggestion.
200
So listening to affirmations during this period, especially the 20 minutes before sleep can help to reprogram the
201
subconscious mind making positive beliefs bypass the nervous system firewall and begin to re -imprint you.
202
In other words this is how you brainwash yourself.
203
See Salvador Dali the artist Salvador Dali this is really cool
204
he would take a nap in a chair holding a metal key or a metal ball over a plate.
205
As he drifted off to sleep his muscles would relax
206
and the object would fall to the ground clang
207
and wake him up right he'd snap awake and
208
when he was awake he would be right at
209
that edge of sleep and wakefulness and
210
that in -between state is where brilliant dream -like ideas come up
211
and dolly would immediately start to sketch and note them before they vanished
212
and he wasn't the only one who did this technique Thomas Edison used a similar trick using steel balls for problem solving.
213
They were both using the theta brain state.
214
Okay, enough talk.
215
This is what you're going to do.
216
This is how you brainwash yourself.
217
Okay, step number one.
218
You're going to record a hypnotic induction on your phone.
219
And you're going to lay that induction onto a theta brainwave track behind it.
220
And you're going to listen to this every night.
221
Now, don't worry about going to search for this.
222
I've got everything in the description box below.
223
I've got a script and I've even got my own audio recordings that you can use if you like.
224
Step number two, after you've got them recorded, this is what you're going to do.
225
You're going to sit or lay down in the bed and totally relax, totally soften.
226
This is the key.
227
See, relaxation allows the nervous system to feel safe, which will allow for the re -imprinting to happen.
228
Again, the harder you try, the further you're going to get away from it.
229
It's like trying to go to sleep.
230
You can't try to go to sleep.
231
You've got to let go.
232
One of my favorite relaxation techniques is the calm body, calm mind technique.
233
After doing this for one week, you will be able to bring your body into a state of relaxation on command.
234
Step number one, you lay down or sit in a comfortable chair
235
and you imagine your body is made up of balloons and there are two valves on your feet.
236
They open and the air escapes from your legs.
237
Your legs collapse until they are empty on the bed and then the valve opens in your chest and your whole body,
238
right, go from every part of your body until it collapses limply against the bed or the chair.
239
Your arms, your neck, your shoulders allow the air to escape
240
and envision your worries fizzing away with it after you finish the entire body
241
pay attention to your breath on each out breath on each exhale say calm body to yourself
242
and on the next out breath say calm mind calm body calm mind and when thoughts try to take you away.
243
Don't judge them.
244
Just gently bring your attention back to the outbreath and repeat calm body, calm mind.
245
Do this for about 10 minutes.
246
Step two, you're going to play the hypnotic induction.
247
When you listen to these tracks fully relax, you want to feel intensely, vividly, colorfully with all of your senses.
248
Touch, taste, hear, feel.
249
Feel the feeling of it already being done.
250
Drench yourself in that feeling.
251
Now you don't want the feeling of desiring something, of wanting something, craving something.
252
You have to feel as though it's already done.
253
This comes from Neville Goddard who said, Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and continue therein
254
and the universe has no choice but to harden your assumption into present fact.
255
Again, you're not craving it you have it.
256
You have to meet the vibration evenly.
257
Goddard also said, he said, if as you prepare for sleep,
258
you do not consciously feel yourself into the state of the answered wish that wish fulfilled,
259
then you will take the sum total of the reactions and feelings of your waking day and while asleep,
260
you'll be instructed in a manner in which they'll be expressed tomorrow.
261
Step number three, you sleep.
262
Step number four, after you awaken, right?
263
You need to do this practice as well.
264
Remember, as you wake up, your brain is highly vulnerable to suggestions.
265
So Now, you may be asking yourself, okay, Prince, I know what to do in the morning.
266
I know what to do at night.
267
Great.
268
How can I brainwash myself during the eight hours of my day?
269
That's a good question.
270
Well, during the day is very important because you're either reinforcing the old you or molding the new you.
271
And so there's two things that you must focus on during the day, your input and your output it.
272
Let's talk about input.
273
Every piece of information that's coming into your brain, you have to audit it.
274
Is it in alignment with the old you or the new you?
275
Remember, your input determines your outlook.
276
You're not going to heal your nervous system listening to dysregulated music,
277
being around dysregulated people, or conceptualizing dysregulated ideas.
278
Instead flood your system with the good the clean the pure
279
the powerful the positive your downtime Should be spent listening to things
280
that help you move up in life Your recreation should be used listening to things
281
that recreate you Affirmations are key to this now.
282
Some people say affirmations don't work, but that's nonsense You've been practicing affirmations your whole life every
283
word you speak every thought you think is an affirmation You're either affirming a negative
284
or positive future for yourself You must speak affirmations out loud
285
because then they are born into the world Keeping them inside of your head is okay, but not nearly as powerful It's better than nothing,
286
but it ain't better than speaking them aloud, right?
287
Scripture says let the weak say I'm strong When you say I am blessed, blessings start to look for you, right?
288
So for affirmations to work, they must be spoken and spoken aloud and spoken in the present tense, not the future tense.
289
You need to be saying I am, not I will be.
290
Visualize the end point, the desired result and feel deeply the gratitude of already achieving it throughout your day.
291
And here's a bonus tip on the note of affirmations.
292
Do some mirror work, right?
293
Every time you see a mirror look into your eyes
294
and say an affirmation
295
or something positive about yourself this is powerful right you may
296
be the only one to say something positive to you
297
that whole day this matters number two let's talk about output
298
when it comes to output you have to embrace the power
299
of questions see the brain is incapable of turning down a question it loves questions
300
and nobody knows why right
301
but we don't need to know why you don't need to
302
know how to build a car you just got to know how to drive one now since we know
303
that the brain can't turn down a question
304
be careful of the questions you ask yourself
305
because the quality of your life is based on the quality of your questions
306
if you ask questions like oh why am I such an
307
idiot your brain will find an answer it'll say well
308
when you were six years old you you flunked
309
that test your mom called you stupid and your dog bit you now don't ask disempowering questions ask power questions
310
now what are power questions here's some examples what would my highest
311
and most developed self do right now i love this one
312
i've got this one posted all over my house here's another one
313
what would a healed nervous system feel like right now here's another one what can i be grateful for right now.
314
Here's another one.
315
Who do I love and who loves me?
316
These questions can change your entire day.
317
Ask them throughout your day and watch your life change.
318
Now guys, I can't give you too much.
319
Again, I'm not trying to overwhelm you with information.
320
I've got a summary of everything that I just taught you in this video in the link below in the description box.
321
And join my community on school if you want to connect with me directly.
322
I'll see you there.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
