Much is said, but little is known about what meditation is. Dictionaries define that it is to think or reflect about something, exactly the opposite of what is said in the Eastern philosophy that created this technique. The most authentic definition of meditation is: the act of not thinking. It is to totally silence your mind. It is not as simple as it seems, when you try to do so, many obstacles arise spontaneously. But, with an effective method meditation gets simple and achievable for everyone. After all, what is the advantage of stop thinking?
When we act under the influence of emotions, we do not reason so well, we act without thinking. But even when we think, we also make a lot of mistakes, just remember how many times you missed a simple math calculation. The human mind is dispersed and cluttered by nature, especially when we are under pressure and stress, which distort the stimuli.
1- MIND FOCUS: Imagine that this same method could bring you a powerful concentration to stay focused on the tasks and moments that matter the most in your life, generating a higher quality of work and the annihilation of procrastination.
2- HANDLE YOUR EMOTIONS: Imagine if could understand better your emotions, learning to tame them in order to develop a powerful emotional intelligence and good human relationships, skills that are highly valued in the business world and for leadership positions.
3- REDUCE STRESS: Imagine if you can silence your mind and so manage your stress at levels suitable for a life of quality and achievements.
4- MENTAL CLARITY: Imagine if there was a method to train your brain so you can develop your potential, a simple, practical, objective training to gain more mental clarity to make better decisions at work and in your personal life.
5- INCREASE AWARENESS: Imagine that you could increase your awareness of everything you do and allow you to be more present at all times in life, especially in the most important moments and that matters the most, such as with your family.
6- MASTER YOUR INTUITIONS: Imagine that you could master your intuitions and apply them in your life .... Every single moment you are making choices that will affect your relationships, health, work performance and ultimately your happiness.
7- PERFORM AT FULL POTENTIAL: Imagine if you can have more consciousness about your behaviors, emotions and mindset. So, you will be able to reshape your choices and perform at full potential towards your aspirations.
8- INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY: Imagine how all this together would spur your professional results, producing a high performance at work and in life.

A neuroscientist from Harvard University has done an extensive research on the effects of meditation. She used brain scanners and what she found really surprised her positively! Meditation actually modifies your brain!
The practitioner of meditation increases the size of the brain's gray matter in some regions such as the sensory cortex, which increases your ability to become more present in life and to be more self-aware. It also increases the frontal cortex that is responsible for memory, focus and the ability for a better decision making. They also realized that the practitioner gains a greater ability to reduce stress and anxiety.
It’s known by science that the frontal cortex decreases with aging, but a 50-year-old meditator has the frontal cortex with the same size as a 25-year-old regular person! This is really fascinating!
As a conclusion, the study showed that 2 months of training are sufficient to begin increasing certain regions of the brain.
Stress is best managed through a powerful meditation training. In 1908, psychologists Yerkes and Dodson developed a powerful theory between brain performance and stress. In the picture bellow, it is showed that the absence of stress generates apathy and boredom which reduces the professional performance of the person for lack of stimuli, at the same time it shows that a lot of stress generate over time a series of health problems that also decrease the professional performance of the individual due to excess. The problems generated by chronic stress are in increasing order: irritation, anxiety, fatigue, burnout.
So, for you to operate on high brain performance you need to relief your stress, and meditation is powerful in that regard.

"What the DeROSE Method brought me was more focus and the ability to be more critical, rather than emotional, about what was happening in the race car. It was great to sit at my cockpit after our work and see the results of emotional management. I feel that I owe part of my 2013 title to the DeROSE Method."

Meditation and mindfulness are here to stay, in 2017 they exploded onto the scene. It’s time to fully understand what meditation is, what makes it valuable and why corporate executives, entrepreneurs and athletes are incorporating it into their daily routine.
Stress is the psycho-organic state produced by the gap between the individual's potential and the challenge they face. To manage stress, the DeROSE Method increases the practitioner's energy levels to raise their potential and empower them to face the challenge from the top down.
Stress itself is a good thing. Without it, human beings would be vulnerable and lacking the aggressiveness necessary to fight, work or create. Stress is only bad when it is excessive, that never stops or is exceptionally frequent.
Between one psychophysical alarm and another, the person needs to be able to recover from this state of extreme organic and mental tension. To do so, the person would have to experience this state of tension less frequently or, therefore, possess specific techniques to minimize the generalized fatigue resulting from the excessive stress, which otherwise produces a chain reaction of side effects such as infarction, high blood pressure, migraine, insomnia, depression, nervousness, decrease in productivity, hair loss, reduced immunity, herpes, digestive problems, ulcer, gastritis, sexual impotence, back pain and the worst side effect of all health problems: medical bills!
Simply reducing stress is enough to alleviate all those side effects, which any treatment would rarely be able to truly cure definitively. The treatment would be merely palliative or mask the symptoms.
DeROSE Method is one of the most efficient resources for reducing stress to healthy levels. For this reason, there are many entrepreneurs, executives, politicians, artists and professionals who are seeking the DeROSE Method for the extra dose of energy and dynamism they need, while simultaneously managing stress.
Ninety percent of people feel the effects of stress management after their first session.
THE ATTITUDE By Gustavo Oliveira
DeROSE Method Teacher
Director of DeROSE Method TriBeCa
I have always been intrigued by the fact that some people can reach a better performance than other. I know that at a base level we are all intrinsically equal. But why is it that some business people and sportsmen can reach unique heights?
I grew up watching Formula 1, where drivers such as Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher displayed incredible performances. I was in awe as I watched Kelly Slater win 11 World Titles. As I started completed my studies and started to delve deeper into business I observed and tried to learn from Steve Jobs, Jorge Paulo Lemman, and DeRose. The commonality were results above average.
As time passed my professional and sporting experience expanded and I realized that there was "something special" to the most successful people. As I grew more successful I was lucky to have experience with many successful people and I learned, almost by osmosis, a series of learnings. I learned much by reading their biographies. All this knowledge was augmented and expanded as I practiced and benefited from the DeROSE Method.
Through the accumulated experience and learnings I was able to become professionally accomplished. This meant that when I started to give lectures and teach courses, many people asked me how I could manage so many activities. How did I have such success while maintaining a fulfilled personal life? It was because of these questions and to share these insights that I created the courses "High Performance Method" and "10 Attitudes for High Performance". As I gained more insights, I also wrote text such as the one you are reading now.
In short, what I concluded was that while we all the the same potential, it is the inner attitude and the attitude towards what you face that will move you above the average. We can observe that, for example for high performance athletes, the physical and technical training is extraordinary. Amongst businesspeople, the intellectual training is very intense. But the competitive advantage lies in the emotional and mental training of the individual. The training which consistently forms a differentiated inner attitude that ensures above-average (or extraordinary) results.
As a result, I have collated a list of the main actions and attitudes that we must develop to achieve High Performance. The more of these elements that are present, the better the results.
- Focus and concentration;
- Creation of archetypes;
- Personal motivation;
- Mental and emotional Mastery;
- Self-study;
- Contentment;
- Self-Surpassing;
- Commitment;
- The Cumulative factor;
- The Associative factor.
I hope that this text can be a useful resource for you to find the path that will lead you to the accomplishments of your dreams.
Focus your mind, maximize your performance, cope with pressure, and perform at your best.
Develop your full potential at work and in life through a high performance training.
Adopt a method that improves your strength, flexibility, and vitality intelligently.
