What is PER-K and how does it work?

PER-K® (Performance Kinesiology®) is a proven process that can dramatically increase personal and professional effectiveness. PER-K is a unique blend of various tools for change, drawing on years of scientific research in brain dominance theory, and utilizing principles from the emerging field of "mind/body psychology." It is an easy and effective way to change self-defeating habits and behaviors by changing the self-sabotaging beliefs that drive them. Put another way, PER-K is a user-friendly way to rewrite the software of your mind in order to change the printout of your performance!

Brain Dominance Theory

A great deal of research has been conducted for decades on what has come to be called “brain dominance” theory. The findings of this research basically indicate that each hemisphere of the brain tends to specialize in and preside over different functions, process different kinds of information, and deal with different kinds of problems. Following are the differences listed in the "language of business". While the terms used by neuroscientists are somewhat different than the descriptions below, the general characteristics are the same.

The LEFT Hemisphere:

• uses logic/reason
• thinks in words
• action plan
• management
• detail
• individual effectiveness
• short term gain
• characterized as male
• identifies with the individual
• is ordered/controlled

The RIGHT Hemisphere:

• uses emotions/intuition/creativity
• thinks in pictures
• vision/mission
• leadership
• big picture
• group effectiveness
• long term goals
• characterized as female
• identifies with the group
• is spontaneous/free

While our birthright is the natural ability to operate simultaneously out of both sides of the brain, life experiences often trigger a dominance of one side over the other when responding to specific situations. The more emotionally charged the experience (usually traumatic), the more likely that the conclusion we draw from it will be stored for future reference, and the more likely that we will automatically overidentify with only one hemisphere of the brain when faced with similar life experiences in the future.

These conclusions (i.e. beliefs, attitudes, values, etc. ) drawn from past experience are stored in the subconscious mind. So, while we may be mostly unaware of their influence on us, they “direct” our observable actions and behaviors. These subconscious beliefs create the perceptual filters through which we respond to life’s challenges. They form the basis for our actions and reactions to each situation in our lives. The ability to perform effectively, both personally and professionally, is profoundly affected by such beliefs as “I am competent”, “I am powerful”, or “I am safe.” With beliefs like these, you can undertake challenging projects with confidence and stay focused on the task at hand. But, if you have beliefs like, “I don’t really trust myself to do a good job” or “How things turn out is not really in my control,” you will proceed hesitantly, fearing mistakes, criticism, and failure.

Some other common, “limiting beliefs” are:

“No matter what I do or how hard I try, it’s never good enough.”
“The decisions I make usually turn out wrong.”
“If people knew the ‘real’ me they wouldn’t like me.”
“I blame others (my boss, co-workers, my spouse etc.) for my problems.”
“I shouldn’t try anything new or risky because I’ll probably screw it up anyway.”
“I can’t trust people to support me. All they really care about is themselves.”
“My opinion doesn’t really matter.”
“What I do isn’t really important.”
“It’s not safe to ask others to help me because I can’t trust them to do the job right.”

Beliefs establish the limits of what we can achieve, or as Henry Ford once said, “If you believe you can or if you believe you can’t...you’re right!” This is especially true when the beliefs are subconscious. Most of us agree, and behavioral scientists confirm, that our behaviors are a direct reflection of our beliefs, perceptions and values, generated from past experiences. However, the difficulty seems to be in knowing how to change old negative beliefs, perceptions and values into new positive ones. With so much at stake, it is imperative that we know how to change self-sabotaging beliefs that are limiting us into beliefs that support us.

The good news is that there is a dynamic and proven program for accessing the subconscious mind in a way similar to the storage memory in a personal computer. PER-K works like a "mental keyboard" – a user-friendly method of communicating with the subconscious mind that is simple, direct and verifiable. It increases “cross-talk” between the two brain hemispheres, thereby achieving a more “whole-brained” state, which is ideal for changing subconscious beliefs. In addition, when right and left hemispheres are in simultaneous communication, the qualities and characteristics of both hemispheres are available to maximize your full response potential.

This method of communication enables you to identify the underlying, limiting beliefs and then "edit" and "update" them, so they align with the principles and philosophies that produce lasting successful behaviors, actions and results.

PER-K helps you communicate directly with the subconscious mind, so, you can change old beliefs that sabotage you into new positive ones that support you, quickly and easily. Like many effective innovations in the world, PER-K was the result of a “blinding flash of the obvious” generated by years of research and thousands of sessions with individuals and groups.
