FINDING BELIEFS TO CHANGE
In some of the first aid sections, exercises to help find particular beliefs were
outlined. You may have reached this section and have found no beliefs to practice
with.
There are many ways of locating the hidden limiting negative beliefs. Here is one
way.
Whatever one blames another or others for is a hidden limiting belief in oneself.
If you are a parent you will find plenty in what you blame your children for, especially
when you are stressed or frustrated. We pass them down from parent to child.
If you write them down and change them in you, you benefit all generations. Write
them as belonging to "I." Six to eight are enough for your first session.
e.g.
I am naughty
I don't deserve
I must do as I am told
I am dumb
then work out the preferred belief by having it as near as possible the opposite
of the unwanted one (without using negatives).
e.g.
I am naughty . . . . . I am good now
I don't deserve . . . . . I deserve now
I must do as I'm told . . . . . I decide what I do
I am dumb . . . . . I am bright now
Now you have a list. You can have someone change them for you or do it yourself.
BELIEF CHANGING TECHNIQUE
This technique is from Mark Jones' book Realizing Our Dreams.
I have put it into my words. I will assume in giving the procedure that you are using
this technique on someone else and then tell you about doing it solo.
Prepare for the session
Have a list of beliefs that are to be changed with those that they are to be changed
to written opposite them.
Alcohol within 24 hours and drugs within one week make this technique very difficult.
It may not be possible to use it. If you need to have a first aid session and you
have taken drugs or alcohol within these time periods you may need to repeat the
session later.
Make sure you have drunk enough water.
Make sure that you will not be interrupted--put a do-not-disturb sign on door, take
phone off hook, etc.
The person doing the session makes sure the person having the session is relaxed
by using a guided meditation. Use the one following (or one you are already familiar
with):
Lie or sit in a position in which you can relax completely without going to sleep.
"Let the body cells relax. They know how to relax. Let them relax with the thought
of doing so. Start with your feet. Let them relax. Let go. Now let your ankles relax
and as they relax, relax the calves of your legs. As you let the relaxation flow
into your knees allow any suppressed anger or resentment flow away from you. Let
your knees relax. Let your thighs relax and let your pelvic area relax. Let the organs
there relax with the thought of them doing so. Let your abdomen relax and let its
organs relax. Let you chest relax. As you let your lungs relax they will breathe
more evenly and deeply and as your heart relaxes it will beat strongly and rhythmically.
Now let your shoulders relax. Let the relaxation flow down your arms and let your
hands relax and let each finger relax. Let the relaxation start again in the shoulders
and this time move down the spine till it is completely relaxed. Feel the relaxation
again in the shoulders and now let it move upward and relax the neck-front and back.
Let your head relax. Feel each of the many muscles of your scalp relax. Let your
jaw relax, let you mouth relax top lip and bottom lip, and now your cheeks and your
nose forehead eyebrows and then your eyes and eye lids. Let go and let it all relax.
As I count from 5 to 1 allow your self to drift into a deeper state of relaxation;
a deeper state of consciousness. Five . . . . four . . . . three . . . . . two .
. . . . one(said slowly).
Imagine you are in a place where you can enter the earth, through a cave and a tunnel
or down a staircase in and old mansion or into an opening in the trunk of an old
tree or any other way that you choose. Enter the earth and go deeper within, deeper,
deeper. Feel the safety as you go deeper within. You come out into a large cavern
where everything you have ever owned is stored and you see it all covered in dust.
On the other side of that cavern is and old person with white hair. This is your
helper. Go to your helper and ask, "Which is the way to the room of beliefs?"
Your helper points down the passage and you see light coming from under a door. You
thank your helper before moving down to the door. You see written on it "Room
of Beliefs." You open it and go inside. You are in a brilliantly lit room. There
is a table on one end of the table is a brass container with a flame in it and there
are pens pencils small cards and on the other end a large book. You go over to the
book and see written on it in gold, "My Beliefs."
1. Open the book. You see written there ............................... (here
you read, clearly, the first of the beliefs to be changed)
(You now command the subconscious mind and it will obey instantly:)
2. Go to the earliest time you formed the belief ............................
(say the belief )
3. Create the feelings that go with the belief .............................
(say the belief allow enough time to do this) Feel them.
4. Create those feelings more. Feel them more.
5. Create them as intensely as you can.
6. When you have created them as intensely as you can put all the feeling energy
in the container. (allow sufficient time)
7. Write VOID across the page. (Make sure you both know the meaning of the
word 'void' before the session)
8. Tear it out. Scrunch it up and throw it into the container and watch it all
go up in smoke until it is all gone.
All gone. ( it helps to put a line through the negative belief on the sheet of
paper)
9. On the clean page that is now in front of you write ........................................
(here you read out the positive belief slowly--at writing speed)
10. Create the state of consciousness that goes with the belief ...................................
(say the belief)
11. Feel all the feelings you choose to have that go with the belief ......................................
(say the belief and allow enough time for it to be done)
12. Pick up a small card and write on it .......................... (say the
belief at writing speed)
13. Keep creating those good feelings as you put the card in your pocket.
14. Turn the page. It says ............................ (say the next belief
to be changed)
Continue changing the beliefs you have listed using steps 2 to 14 until they are
all changed.
15. I am going to bring you back and you will open your eyes on the count of five
and not before.
One, coming back bringing with you all the feelings that go with .....................................
(read each of the new beliefs)
Two, coming up coming back, three, four and five. Open you eyes.
You may need to gently help the person orient by saying "Notice the wall."
"Notice the floor." "Feel the air on your body" etc., giving
as much time as they need to do each of these. You will notice when they are fully
with you.
Do the 33 second technique
The 33 Second Technique
1. Feel the good feelings, and visualize yourself with the positive beliefs already
creating your new reality
2. Desire this. Expect it. Imagine it.
3. Desire, expect, and imagine it more.
4. Build desire, expectation and imagination to a peak. (This will take thirty three
seconds)
5. Let the picture go!
Do this at least once a day and you will find things changing.
SOLO BELIEF CHANGING
The above technique can be used solo but needs to be learned first so that you do
not have to think about or read the steps. You can learn by practicing. Practice
on a toy an animal or if you have someone who is interested, on another person.
Once you are familiar with the technique you can do it for yourself just as you do
for the other person. You may tell yourself what to do either aloud or silently.
You will soon be able to open your eyes to see the beliefs on the list without coming
out of the meditative state.
Alternatively you can tape the session for yourself and then go through it with your
finger on the pause button of the player to give you time to do each step.
It would make it easier to begin with a session with a trained person either before
you begin or after you have learned the technique.
