Ask Lewis: 4 Tips For Creating A 3 Person Synergy Group
Community, Fellowship, and MasterMinds
I usually tell my mentoring and coaching clients to begin creating a system for emotional support by forming a mastermind group or at least a 3-person support triangle.
A mastermind group is a peer-to-peer mentoring group used to help members become more creative innovative and even to solve their problems with input and advice from the other group members.
The concept was coined in 1925 by author Napoleon Hill in his book The Law of Success, and described in more detail in his 1937 book Think and Grow Rich. In his books, Hill discussed the idea of the Master Mind, which referred to two or more people. Most masterminds are designed to help business people rather than those doing spiritual or shadow work.
My spiritually and shamanically oriented groups usually have 3 people connecting.
When three minds come together with a common intention in what I call a “Wisdom Triangle”, a “synergy” arises a third, invisible, intangible force. As the Wisdom Triangle becomes a key aspect of your daily practice, you can conduct conference calls, tweets, e-mail, face-to-face video calls online, and many other new and developing technologies to facilitate the process.
It is easy to create multiple support triangles. For instance, you can create one for business brainstorming, one for sexual issues, one for personal healing, and one for multi-cultural interaction. These support triangles can open you to an entirely new reality. By creating intellectual and social interaction with individuals of different beliefs, races, religions, sexual orientations, gender choices, and cultures, you will expand your worldview. This way of thinking will reduce the likelihood that you will unexpectedly accept racial or ethnic stereotypes in your life or allow them to germinate and spread through you onto others.
The most effective Support Triangles need to have a group guide or sage/leader and a compassionate and loving environment to share issues connected to your Practice. As a result of your work within your Support Network, it should become increasingly easy for you and the members of your triangle to experience miracles of abundance, love, freedom, and self-actualization. These miracles were always there but have become visible through the magnifying power of clear intention, spiritual focus, light, and love invoked through the daily work of Support Triangles. The personal example of a life lived in the right relationship with others is inspiring and infectious.
The 4 Benefits Of Having A Wisdom Triangle Are:
- Having people to help you to stay on track with your Manifestation Practice.
- Gaining the benefit of differing perspectives, input, and feedback.
- Bringing new resources and perspectives to your Practice.
- Receiving inspiration and support to maintain focus in your Practice.
Here Are 4 Suggestions For Forming An Effective Synergy Triangle
1. Seek out individuals with a positive attitude who are also seeking to improve the quality of their lives, are good listeners, and have some basic common sense.
2. Don’t be a loner. Many friends (and strangers who will become your friends) are earnestly eager to help you.
3. Reach out to others. When you connect with individuals with a positive attitude who are seeking to improve the quality of their lives, share the concept of a Support Triangle. Mention how common the concept is in most societies. Speak of the simplicity of the work required — just an hour or two once per week or month.
4. Keep in touch consistently with your Support Triangle. Every member of your triangle should be encouraged to form other triangles. You can have more than one support triangle, even many.
