I am Ravin Lochun,born on 20th June 1946 at Palma, Quatre-Bornes.After hard times during my childhood and having completed my schooling in very difficult times and situation, I started my professional journey as a dedicated teacher and educator.
During 45 years I have been in loyal and sincere service to the community as teacher, journalist, marketing manager, politician-member of Parliament during a period having marked the political history of Mauritius. That is for the first time a political force sweeping 100% of seats in Parliament by the score of 60/0.
Thereafter I have been at the service of my country as diplomat. I was appointed Ambassador to the Malagasy Republic based at Antananarivo where I learned to embrace the love, rich traditional culture and the magical way of life of those wonderful people. I was so much imbued in the way of life of the Malagasy Community that the then President Didier Ratsiraka elevated me to the rank of Commandeur de l'Ordre National Malgache.
My diplomatic experience acquired then, brought me once more to have the opportunity to serve my country and participate in the wonderful process of cementing the world together into a Global Village and that in the capacity of Advisor for Diplomatic Affairs to the then Prime Minister.
Married, for fourty years now, progenitor of six wonderful children, four daughters and two sons, standing on their own, by God Bliss.
Having travelled such a long way in the journey of life, I have been often called upon to counsel and advise people around me and above. I then said to myself, Ravin, why not serve humanity and share your experience and Guidance to the world.
So, I got qualified through the American Union of NLP as a Certified NLP Practitioner and Certified Life Coach. It is in this capacity that I am offering my service to help you acquire a better a better life for the best of the World.
Neuro relates to the nervous system(the mind), through which our experience is processed via the five senses of visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, olfactory and gustatory(sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste). These five senses are the inputs in our nervous system and the sources that we rely upon to build our internal experience.
Linguistic relates to language and other non-verbal communication systems through which our neural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning. This includes pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes, smells and words(self-talk or internal dialogue).
Programming relates to how the structure and sequence of our thoughts will lead to a predictable and reliable outcome. In other words, NLP is how to use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes.
How can NLP help to rewire our Brain
Today Neuro Linguistic Programming is widely accepted in countries all over the world as a set of tools for producing reliable and verifiable results. This methodology started to become immensely popular in the 1980s with huge personalities like Anthony Robins, Deepak Chopra, Robin Sharma and almost all the great Gurus in self- development using it to help thousands of people making lasting changes in their lives.
As our awareness as a society increases around the importance of self responsibility and personal empowerment, these tools become more applicable and accessible through qualified Practitioners who have mastered the craft of handling those tools.
Therefore as you can see above that this technology is relatively young and has only recently touched the shores of Mauritius where it is making its way gradually. I can affirm that because very often people are not aware of what is NLP and how it can change ones behaviour and all the limiting beliefs built up in our subconscious since our very childhood.
Where and how Neuro Linguistic Programming can be used?
Wherever human communications skills can enhance results:
Business Consultation
Management
Negociation
Education
Coaching--Counselling
Therapy
Relationships
Parenting
Nursing
Public speaking
Confidence Building
Sports performance
And many other areas
In fact NLP helps therapists change the impact of past on a person; boosts a teachers capacity to teach and improves a student's spelling skills; Increases a businessperson's non-verbal rapport with who ever he interacts; Assists them in running more efficient meetings; enhances an Athletes performance and more.
NLP, least but not last, can be defined as a method of therapy, but what makes it different from traditional therapy is that it has a holistic approach and goes deeper to the root of any challenge you might be facing. It Studies excellence and teaches skills that promote positive change, which generates new possibilities and opportunities.

Faster EFT (FEFT)
( Faster Emotionally Focussed Transformation)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) has made a tremendous leap in the field of energy healing or self- healing for years now and is practiced in almost around the world. Its effectiveness has been scientifically tested(read more in my blog about science and EFT)
The Chinese traditional medicine discovered more than 5000 years ago that there are some key points in the body where the energy flow is accessible. These are known as the Meridian points.
Formally these points were being stimulated by touch (Acupressure) and needles (Acupuncture). All of that was based on the knowledge that the vital energy (Chi or Qi) flows through those meridian pathways.
In as far as EFT is concerned, it all started in the 1960's and 1970's with George Goodheart and John Diamond and it was further refined in the 80's and 90's by Roger Callahan working with a lady on Acute Phobia of water,so much so that she was even afraid to get in her bath tub.
He has been working with that lady for years utilising all possible then existing psychological tools, but to no avail. At the very thought of water she once complained of a pain in the stomach. Roger Callahan having read about acupuncture remembered that the meridian link to the stomach was just beneath the eyes. So he tapped on that point and the MIRACLE occurred. The lady got rid of the phobia and ran to the swimming pool Roger's garden and started splashing her face and body with water.
Then after one Garry Craig, an IT engineer further refined the tools further developed by celebrities in personal development and healers like Patricia Carrington, Fred Gallo, Donna Eden, Carol Look and more recently by Nick Ortner who published a best selling book on Amazone(The Tapping Solution).
Faster EFT is born
Just as there has been a natural evolution from acupressure, acupuncture and further development of these these into what became Emotional Freedom Technique with Roger Callahan, Garry Craig and many others, this technique could not remain static and was bound to develop further and may be in coming years other developments will take place.
Steps in Robert G. Smith
A former student of Gary Craig, Robert Smith, after many years of practice and research stood out audaciously challenging the 5000 year old paradigm of Chinese traditional medicine which claims that pain is caused by a blockage in the flow of life energy. In so doing, he broke with the basic belief system accepted by thousands of practitioners around the world. He did away with the Psychological Reversal, further streamlined the tapping process to five points, incorporated Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and hypnosis and continues to study and challenge existing beliefs and modalities. He is presently touring the world teaching this new methodology.
As mentioned above, Faster EFT is combined with other techniques such as NLP and Hypnosis. It is believed that there are no broken people, that in order to have a problem you must be doing something correctly to manifest and produce what ever it is that bothers you. The cause of all our problems are based on our perceptions and emotions.
An example: You think of something that makes you feel bad and YOU FEEL BAD. Both thoughts are a creation of mind which you did all by yourself, because whatever you think, your body follows. From these experiences in life, you store in your unconscious memory, not only visual memories, but also your senses, such as tastes, touch, sounds and smells. Your past experiences and the emotions dictate how you see the world and how you react to everything in your life.
A sound Mind in a sound Body
With Faster EFT, we address the Mind/Body connection to give you control of your thoughts and emotions. By tapping on the meridian system you are creating a blockage which breaks the communication connection, shifting perception and shifting your life. This enables the conscious and unconscious mind to communicate with each other, allowing for the body to reduce stress, along with relieving physical and emotional symptoms. It does not take years to analysing your past, and will work even if you don't know why you feel the way you do. Giving you personal power, with the freedom to change how you internally represent your past, and become open to new possibilities for your future.
What is Emotional Freedom Technique(EFT)
Emotional Freedom Technique is a simple, elegant process which allows you to eliminate blockages with your body's meridian system quickly and easily, eliminating negative thoughts, self limiting beliefs and pain. simply put, meridians are long, narrow conduits that carry life force energy through your body. When those meridians get blocked due to a trauma of some type(physical, emotional or chemical) the normal flow of life force energy gets disrupted. As a result of blockages, the body often loses its normal energetic balance and negative emotions and self-limiting start to emerge. By tapping on points along the meridian, you break the blockage and allow life force energy to flow again naturally. The negative thoughts, self-limiting beliefs, and/or pains dissipate as you and your body go back to functioning normally and feeling at peace
The primary purpose of using EFT is to reduce all negative emotions and eliminate all self-limiting beliefs so that all but Peace and Presence is left within your body/mind. It is all based upon a simple premise. All pain, stress, fear, worry, anger, rage, resentment and all other negative emotions occur as a result of blockages in the meridian system. When we eliminate the blockages associated with those negative feelings, we are left in a neutral or positive mental state.
EFT can help:
Relieve stress and promote general relaxation
Release and transform painful, uncomfortable or "negative" emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger, guilt, frustration, etc.
Improve or even eliminate physical discomfort or pain
Increase self esteem, clear thinking, positive feelings and a sense of greater peace
Heal the effects of emotional trauma
Improve performance(artistic, professional, athletic, sexual, etc.
Maximize creativity, visioning and goal setting
Increase energy and productivity
Diminish cravings for food and addictive substances
Foster better sleep and sleep habits
Resolve financial blocks
Address relationship problems
Empower children, parents and families
Resolve emotional eating and weight issues
Promote spiritual growth, self empowerment and confidence
Move us beyond self-limiting beliefs and open us towards greater possibilities and so much more....
Life coaching
" Most people know what they want, but they don't know how to achieve it."
Life is not simple nor is it easy. We need knowledge and support along the way to achieve to our full potential. There are so many parts to life, both physical and emotional, that we cannot be expected, at an early age, to know how everyone operate and how we can get the most of them.
Life is learning. Life is change.
Life is challenge.
Your life is precious, get the most from it.
Tell me what you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.
Life Coaching is about gap analysis which closes the gap between life and dream.
Life Coaching can be compared to a motorway maintenance and construction. It fills and removes the ruts of life to build a smooth surface. Then life's journey takes the traveller to the destination they really want to visit, rather than remain in the slow lane of inactivity, drifting without purpose or direction.
"To be able to look back on one's life in satisfaction is to live twice." (Khalil Gibran)
Life Coaching is moving people towards success.
Life Coaching is a focus on the future.
Life Coaching is all about change.
Life Coaching moves people from idea to action
Life Coaching focusses one in taking action toward the realisation of one's goal or desired self.
How Life Coaching works
People hunger for positive change, but in their busy lives they find it difficult to take the necessary steps to make that change. Research has shown that the more defined an individual's, the more likely they are to achieve their goals. Clearly defined goals in work and life lead to more successful business and individuals. However clearly defined goals of their own do not guarantee success. For the most part they fail, not because goals were not clearly defined, they fail because the process and strategies people employed were unsound or unsuitable.
"Both success and failure are the results of habit."
The Coaching process allows clients to stop everything they are doing and take a close look of their lives; evaluate what they want and check the direction in which they are headed. Through a series of individual sessions, the Life Coaching process challenges, inspires and supports people in achieving their goals, while at the same time holding them accountable.
Just the very nature of human beings, we are more likely to complete tasks that are being monitored by another person. This is accountability and it is built into the coaching process. So you are assisted in expanding the view of yourself by recognising your own potential, and clearly defining action or actions that will transform your potential into success.
The power of commitment relies on the social reinforcement of people conforming to who they say they are. It uses the power of honesty. Clients become dishonest if they do not fulfill their commitment to the Coach. Humans are conditioned to believe that people who do not fulfill their commitments are not to be trusted. They are seen as shifty, unreliable and devious as liars and cheats. People do not want their Life Coach to think they are any of these, so they will move heaven and earth to achieve the actions, goals and targets that they have agreed upon.
"The first step towards success is knowing what it is you aim to do."
Guilt is another factor in the power of commitment. When people do not achieve the goal set, they punish themselves with guilt. This self-flagellation gives them far more pain than anything the coach can inflict. Humans usually have a driving need for pleasure and a driving pleasure to avoid pain. The pain and pleasure continuum used as a powerful leveraging tool ensure that people achieve results.
How it is different
The physical or sports Coach specialises in the body and specific sports.
The business consultant defines problems, provides answers and helps to implement them within the business environment.
Life Coaching focusses on results, results and nothing but results.
Life Coaching works on all areas and aspects of life with a Holistic approach.
Coaching. Is it a new phenomenon or an old profession dressed up to look exciting? Life Coaching is one and both at the same time. It uses some of the skills of the old Coaching styles combined with innovation. It concentrates on the person's whole life instead of just an area.
