Geller is not the only person who has helped a number of sportsmen and women achieve that win, that personal best, that gold medal. Sports psychology is big business and those at the top of their particular sphere of activity will try anything to squeeze out that last effort that keeps them at the top. Of course, there is money is to be made in providing advice that hones that mental sharpness to scalpel finesse. However, the difference with Geller is that he has offered his advice on positive thinking to Scotland's fans free of charge. Geller knew of course that Scotland has to win both games, against Belarus on Saturday and Slovenia on Wednesday. He also knew that we need Norway to drop points. He said: “Slovenia I am concerned about but I have a good feeling about Belarus. Let me tell you how I usually motivate teams and fans. Many a time when I am not invited by a manager, in many case I am of course, that is done confidentially as the manager can be afraid of ridicule and I am sneaked into the dressing room to motivate the players. I would psyche them up, get their adrenalin up, motivate them to score goals, visualising themselves scoring goals, build their confidence. As Walter Smith is more that traditional manager, I don’t think I will be able to speak to the players directly. In this case I would suggest we unite the fans. We simply inspire the fans by telling them that no matter how sceptical and cynical they are about the power of the mind, the most important thing is Scotland must win. Nothing should detract from using their power to win. And the fact that it is a must win couple of games for Scotland which must be bombarded into the minds of the fans. If we pick a time for all fans to visit your website and do something quirky and touch the computer screen and focus on, say, a picture of my eyes and for thirty seconds saying ‘Win Scotland Win, Win Scotland Win’. What you are actually doing is uniting human consciousness, which is a tangible energy, and focusing it into the players’ minds, the atmosphere - the ambiance of the match. This type of energy can actually help a team win.”  Win Scotland Win, Win Scotland Win I asked him if it was possible for such powers to be used to help Norway lose on Saturday. Geller explained that the power of the mind is not so powerful when used in a negative way. He therefore suggested that the fans focus their support for Moldova on Saturday and Belarus on Wednesday to win their games against the Norwegians.
Of course, Geller has some previous regarding Scotland results. Back in 1996, when Scotland were playing England in the European Championships, Gary McAllister missed a penalty which would have brought Scotland back on level terms. However, Geller was circling Wembley in a helicopter at the time supporting England. I will let Geller explain where he came in. He said: "What I did there was highly unethical. What I did from the helicopter was used my phsyco-kentic powers, I actually made the ball move away from McAllister’s foot and he missed the penalty of course. And those are paranormal forces at work. I used these before Scotland (against England) I used to do it and then I realised it was highly unethical and I have shifted it, anyone who wants my help it is going to be inspirational only, rather that kinetic".
As we all want Scotland to make the World Cup play-offs, be sure to visit this site on Saturday at 11 am when we will have a new page for you to focus your support for Scotland. A fresh page will be available at 12 o’clock to focus the support for Moldova to win over Norway. We will have similar arrangements in place for the Games on Wednesday 12th October. | |||
