Helene Hadsell is The Winning Sage – Bonus 5
In 2009, Vishen Lakhiani and his team from Finer Minds (now Mindvalley) interviewed Helene Hadsell and created a program called The Winning Sage, which included 13 videos, 4 audio recordings, and a PDF version of the 2nd Edition of Contesting: The Name It & Claim It Game.
Since clips from those interviews are widely shared on Instagram and TikTok, I thought it would be prudent to create a blog series featuring highlights, along with the full video (or audio) from each interview, to ensure Helene’s teachings don’t get lost in quick sound bites.

What’s Really Getting in the Way?
If the Law of Attraction is so simple, why do so many people struggle to get what they want? Helene Hadsell believed that one reason was the influence of other people’s thoughts and expectations.
She cautioned against sharing your goals with everyone. Someone else’s jealousy, negativity, or doubts could influence your own thinking and create delays. She also believed that many people carry guilt about wanting more, often because of the beliefs and values they absorbed growing up.
Helene believed that our first seven years have a particularly strong influence on us. We pick up our parents’ mannerisms, beliefs, religion, and attitudes, then add the influence of our peers as we grow older. Part of changing our thinking is learning to recognize and undo some of that early conditioning.
NOTE: The Silva Method teaches this as we are in an Alpha brain state for the first seven years.
Helene also shared her experiences with hypnotic regression and some of the unusual things she believed she had discovered about the soul, its connection to the physical body, and the transition between life and death. She also explains why she approached this work carefully and believed permission was important.
Helene certainly wasn’t short on curiosity about what lies beyond our everyday understanding of the mind.
