This post is in response to emails and comments I’ve received regarding accessing the Default when people have the experience that they were damaged from their earliest memory and earlier.
Here’s the summary: The most important thing is for you to begin tracking for the most exquisite form of you that you know, learning how you do yourself when you’re like that, and doing that all the time. That’s your Default. Establish it as powerfully as you can. Do it often and do it for longer and longer periods of time. Once you’re really good at it – begin rewriting your history in a way that brings your newly acquired state to your entire life, past and present.
Today’s post is in response to a comment from Andria (Thanks for the inspiration Andria – and I hope I pronounced your name correctly). The entire comment is posted below. Enjoy the video!

Hi Devon!
I have more sporting news for you…Lately, it’s been all about the eyes for me. I realized that when I ski and mtb, I have predatory eyes, which are tight and focused. They help me cut though a crowd of skiers with precision (without scaring or cutting anyone off, of course). And when I mtb, I’m the mountain lion, locked onto her prey.
The other day, I had a gorgeous experience skiing. I was up high in the bowls, in and out of the trees, and away from the crowds, just taking in the big view I get with soft eyes. But, when I got down to mid-mountain, I suddenly felt disoriented. It appeared as if people were coming from every which way, I was unable to judge speed and direction, and my spatial awareness was shot. It was a trip, because I knew why it was happening, but I just stayed defaulted instead of tensing up about it, and laughed.
The weather was warmer the next day. I’m on my bike, on a snow packed single track that I navigate every spring to get to my house. The consistency of the snow is like a sno-cone, very thick and slippery, and if you fall off, you go sliding down the hill. Anyway, in my mind I hear you say, ‘Allow your eyes to go soft.’ Whoa. My whole body relaxed, I felt very lightweight, and my muscles actually reacted quicker than when they were tense. It was a feeling of being on balance, rather than constantly correcting imbalance.
What are some of your body-in-motion experiences?
I’ve had a lot of questions about whether you can get value from Installing Inner Game while you sleep.
The short answer is: yes. The more complete answer is it’s also good to listen sometimes while you’re fully awake.
Check out the video below for the rest of my thoughts on the matter.
Today’s post addresses some of the aspects of how Installing Inner Game works.
For you text lovers, here’s the summary:
- Experience happens in your body. Afterward you put semantic ‘frames’ around that experience. In other words you describe the experience. The way we describe our experiences shape them for us.
- Your body, brain, mind and [...]
Todays’ post is in response to a stream of emails about discovering the specifics of your Default. Here’s a summary of the video for those folks too busy for online movies:
* When in doubt tell yourself, “This is perfect”. You always want to be giving the system of you the message that it’s perfect. The [...]
In this video I address two of the most frequent questions I’ve been getting about Installing Inner Game:
1. How often should I listen?
2. Is it normal to feel elated from listening and then wobbly a few days later?
Are you ready? Click the video below.
How often have you been listening? What are your suggestions?
There is a blueprint swirled into your DNA of who you were born to be and who you have the potential to become. When you are in alignment with this perfection it is unmistakeable – these are the moments that you feel like everything is as it should be in the world.
We’ve all had [...]
There was that red flag again. Why was it waving furiously in my mind? That’s simple:
Kelly was telling me how she needed her boyfriend in order to feel like she was ‘on track’.
It’s something I hear and see over and over again when I’m working; most people think that being in a state of profound [...]
