"Dear Rod,
I am always emailing you with one question or another about life, existence, string theory, anxiety……the list goes on. Today, however, I am just writing to say thank you. I have been attending Mindlink courses for 5 years now (some might call me a slow learner) and I just wanted to say how much my life has changed during that time. The whole thing has been an amazing revelation to me and besides providing comfort, peace and joy in my life (i.e. a plan for surviving the 21st century) it has finally allowed those strange “spiritual” yearnings that I have been blocking for years to take some form of shape. I know I have just started, with a few toddling baby steps, on an amazing journey but it was you and the Mindlink Foundation which enabled me to do that, and for that I am eternally (maybe literally J) grateful!
I think you made analogy once about climbing a mountain just to find you were at the base of another huge mountain…and so it goes on. Well, I am not sure if I have even reached the base camp of the first mountain, but I will get there eventually.
Thanks for getting me to look up and see the mountain in the first place!
With very warmest wishes,
Jill"

One of our Mindlink graduates, Suzanne Mulholland (pictured above), decided that she wanted to appear on the UK television show Deal or No Deal so she set about organizing it using the techniques she had learned on the Mindlink course.
It should, therefore come as no surprise to all of you who have done the course that she went on to become the third quarter-millionaire on the show.
"The biggest Thank you To Rod and Fi Briggs for teaching me MINDLINK all those years ago, that was the key to the success of my game!! Love and light to you all xxxxx" - Suzanne Mulholland, Facebook, 15 May 2011

Delegates Comments
"I came in skeptical but interested. During the first day I was amazed at what I learned about myself and the world around me and the power of the brain. The second day I was overwhelmed by the power of the experience. In all my experiences of "Self Management" or "Change" seminars, this was not just the most interesting, it was the most useful, meaningful and life-changing. Thanks." Brian Solan, Aer Arann

Mission Statement
The Mindlink Foundation is dedicated to the emotional, physical and spiritual upliftment of humanity.
This dedication finds expression in seminars and workshops designed to integrate both conscious and subconscious as well as the physical and non-physical aspects of mankind.
The effects of the resulting balance are far reaching and life changing. On a micro scale this leads to an enhanced lifestyle for the individual.
The macro impact is to raise the consciousness of the planet as a whole.
Binaural CD/MP3 Range:
When external stimulus is applied to the brain, it becomes possible to entrain the brain frequency from one brain state to another. For example, if a person is in the beta state (highly alert) and a stimulus of 10Hz is applied to his/her brain for some time, the brain frequency will change towards the applied stimulus. The effect will be relaxing to the person experiencing this. This phenomenon is also called frequency following response.
Rod Briggs will return to Ireland for a series of lectures, workshops, seminars and a Retreat in February 2012. Join our mailing list to receive updates via email.
Irish Independent Jan 2 2012 Transcript of article
Many people look for self-improvement books and courses each New Year. Anita Guidera reports on one that really worked out for a young Sligo woman.
At just 24 years old, Suzanne Mulholland owns her own home, runs a successful business and has the claim to fame of being only the third contestant to walk away with the £250,000 jackpot on the Channel 4 hit game show, Deal Or No Deal.
It has gone down as one of the most thrilling games ever seen on Deal Or No Deal, not least because a steely-nerved Suzanne turned down the highest ever offer of £165,000 (€199,000) in an attempt to uncover the elusive quarter of a million pounds (€400,000).
Hosted by Noel Edmonds, Deal Or No Deal is a game show in which contestants are confronted with sealed briefcases containing varying amounts of cash and play or deal for a top prize of £250,000.
Irish woman Suzanne was working in Bristol at the time of the show last year, but after her big win promptly packed her bags, purchased her dream home in Dromahair and fulfilled her childhood ambition of opening a beauty salon in her home town of Sligo.
But she is adamant that her extraordinary victory – on Friday the 13th – was not down to luck but to a calculated high-risk strategy, in which she gave nothing away, held her cool and pitted herself against the banker.
She credits her calmness and decisiveness to the mind-training skills she honed after attending a weekend-long Mindlink Foundation training seminar in Ballina when she was 14-years old. “Without Mindlink I wouldn’t have had the intuition to win my game in that I wouldn’t have listened to my gut instinct,” she explained.
Overview
Rod Briggs founded the Foundation in 1998 to answer the lack in modern education. From primary school upwards we are never taught how to think but rather what to think; we become adept at reading writing and ‘rithmatic but have no idea about the processes that drive us. Time Magazine called the human brain the “greatest feat of engineering in the known universe…”and yet the vast majority of people are never taught how to use the wonder that is inside us. We have become a society of under achievers. The various techniques taught by the Foundation are designed to teach us how our psyche works, at all levels, and this, in turn allows us to live life more effectively. With a basis in tried and trusted cognitive behavioural and critical thinking techniques the Foundations’ work engenders peak performance in all areas of life. The Foundations’ work has been used by Olympic athletes, business leaders, tertiary institutions, governments and medical professionals from all over the world.
The Mindlink Foundation (www.mindlinkfoundation.com), established by Rod Briggs in 1998, teaches “whole-brain training” to access one’s full potential. It claims that through the various training stages, intuition expands and the ability to think critically and react in stressful situations is enhanced.
Suzanne has been applying it to her life since, culminating with the Deal Or no Deal win last December, which has made her a poster girl for the Mindlink Foundation. “I started to use it straight away. It is absolutely mind-blowing. It is not invasive. You are not being brain-washed. It is about reaching you own potential. It has helped me with exams. It helped me with my confidence. I have used it constantly since.” She said. She stresses that Deal or no Deal is not a game of chance. “It is more a game of psychology and decisions. When pressure kicks in, that is when people start to change and the stress hits them about how much a particular amount of money might change their lives. The reality is that the £250,000 has been on the table hundreds of times in the past six-and-a-half-years and people don’t go for it. The banker always looks for your weak point which makes this more of a game of psychology”, she explained.
Suzanne doesn’t even put her selection from 145,000 applicants down to chance. “I never like to use the word destiny. I like to think we create our future. I always believed I would have gotten a call for an audition purely because when I applied I tried to make it stand out,” she said.
Once in the game she set in train her strategy of trusting her intuition, not commenting on others’ games – so that she wouldn’t give away anything about her own – and never asking for advice or delaying answers. “When I realised I had won, it was like I woke up and got the biggest fright of my life. I couldn’t catch air for the life of me. Later that night I woke up from my sleep and there were tears running around my face”.
Suzanne now frequently speaks at Mindlink seminars about her experience. “It is so much more than just Deal Or No Deal. It is like a mental tool-kit for everything you need in life. People engage with me so easily because of this energy I carry around with me. The main thing is that it teaches you to live your life in balance, mentally, physically and emotionally,” she said
This was the one most amazing experience I have ever had. I thank Rod from the bottom of my freshly nourished soul. Thank you. It was fulfilling, entertaining and above all it was info that I desperately needed to begin the life I have been waiting 25 years to start.
