Therapeutic Meditation

Omega Met hod THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION is a powerful technique that anyone can learn and experience in just minutes.

It is based on the idea that the body and mind are constantly trying to heal; always striving to be perfect.All we have to do is get out of its way. Now, it's true that all forms of meditation facilitates this (getting out of the way), but, THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION is many times more powerful, and you don't have to sit in a cave in the Himalayas to learn it.

I learned this technique 20 years ago. At the time I suffered from Migraine and Cluster headaches. They were incapacitating and frequent. AMAZINGLY, it was 20 years

before I had another headache after only one session. I believe, with all my heart and several other vital organs that it was because of this technique. One thing I will guarantee; after your first session, you will feel a sense of peace and physical relaxation that will last for several hours.

Included in this ebook is a THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION script. Read it into a recorder for a powerful session; or, buy the CD and let James A. Loving take you on a meditative journey that will train your mind to reach deep levels of meditation in half the time. [Note: I will be updating my SoundCloud page soon and you will be able to experience the session for free. If you don’t find it there, check back later, in the meantime you can listen to those that are there. They, too, are powerful experiences. CLIC K HERE for my SoundCloud page.]

This eBook is simple, fun, and POWERFUL!

Meditation is an art that anyone can develop and a skill that anyone can learn. Someone much wiser than I defined it as “The art of doing nothing”. It is also a Spiritual Mental and Physical technique. In these 7 Steps, I’m not going to attempt to teach you the ART of meditation. However, you will learn a POWERFUL technique that will give you all the benefits in a fraction of the time. In fact, the very first session will take you deep into a meditative state and you will experience physical and mental relaxation that will literally last for several hours. That’s how you’ll know you are doing it right. Your session should be anywhere from 8 to 20 minutes. 3 times per day is excellent, 2 times is very good and 1 time is good. If you are using it for healing (physical, mental or situational) I recommend 3 times per day.

If for some reason you don’t experience a profound level of relaxation during and after your first session, don’t panic, you are probably trying too hard. Don’t TRY to meditate. Adopt the mental attitude that you simply WANT to relax, just WANT to meditate. Then go through the procedure again. Trying is the antithesis of relaxation and Meditation. It doesn’t belong in the process.

For good measure, there’s a dash of YOGA in this mix. No, you are not required to tie yourself in knots. But, blended into this unique method is a breathing technique borrowed from this Eastern practice.

Let me give you a brief overview of meditation and yoga.

MeditationThere are many forms of meditation. Most trace their ancestry from ancient yoga and Zen Buddhism,but, the practice is probably much older. TM, or transcendental Meditation, based upon Hindu teaching, is practiced by some. A secret mantra (sound) is given to the meditator by a teacher of the technique.

This sound is then repeated over and over with eyes closed. Some types of Hindu and Buddhist practices focus upon a mandala- a visualization of some object such as a thousand-petal lotus. Regardless of their origin, all the meditative techniques have at least two phases. The first is to quiet the body, and the second is not to quiet the mind, but to control the mind. Quieting the mind suggests stopping thoughts and that is neither practical nor necessary. Stopping thought(s) is unnatural and the mind/brain will not cooperate. Doing so would require a deed that, hopefully, your are not inclined to commit. And even so, that may not work either; in the words of Shakspear: “…who knows what dreams we have when we shuffle off this mortal coil…”. That being said, just be aware that whenever refer to relaxing the mind it means gentle control of the mind.

The relaxation and control are often done in the following sequence: 1. Relaxing the motor muscles i.e. arms, legs 2. Decreasing the breathing rate.3. Decreasing the rate of other body functions.4. Slowing brain activities.

As I mentioned, meditation is often considered the process of trying to eliminate the chatter of the mind-the constant thinking, planning, and fantasizing-which occupies the conscious state of the mind every waking moment. As arousal is reduced, so is anxiety. Self transcendence, or an altered state, is then achieved. Most meditators find they feel creative, positive, calm, and energetic after meditation.

A simple easy to learn meditation, which combines both a mantra and a mandala, is described as follows:[ Note: This is not a THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION exercise.]

1. Find a quiet place where you can be alone if possible. (This technique may be done in crowded places as long as it is appropriate for you to close your eyes. If you cannot escape to your bedroom or other isolated spot, you can always close the stall door in a public facility to achieve some degree of aloneness and privacy.) 2. Sit in a comfortable position. 3. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Let your thoughts come and go. 4. Start to visualize a particular object-for example, a rose.

5. In your thoughts, start to repeat the word for the object-"rose"-over and over, at any speed or rhythm it wants to go. 6. As you continue to repeat the word, start to imagine the rose opening and closing in the same rhythm.7. If distracting thoughts come into your mind, let them pass through. Continue to repeat your word and see its image. (Often, worries of the day, like "what shall I have for dinner" or "I have three exams to study for," will flow through your mind to distract you. 8. Keep this process going from two to twenty minutes.

9. When it is time to stop, open your eyes slowly.You should feel relaxed, refreshed, and less anxious after trying this technique.

YogaYoga is a Sanskrit word meaning "union". The practice is at least 3000 years old, and its origins can be traced to India. It is considered to be a philosophical system. There are now several sects or "paths" of yoga which have developed over the years. Bhakti yoga is a way of devotion of love and faith directed to God. It uses chants and worship, Dhyana yoga is a method of concentration. It is a purely mental discipline leading to trance states. Karma yoga is concerned with selfless work and good deeds. Charitable acts are accomplished by individuals who follow this path. Kriya yoga is primarily concerned with religious action and ritualism. Kundalini yoga theorizes potential energy coiled up in the nervous system, which can be released with the recitation of sacred mantras. Hatha yoga is the most familiar to Westerners. It is the path of health using exercise as a means to mental and physical harmony.

All forms of yoga teach methods of concentration ad contemplation to control the mind, subdue the primitive consciousness, and bring the physical body under control of the will. In Hatha yoga, slow stretching of the muscles in exercise is taught, along with breathing in certain rhythmical patterns. The body positions or asamas for exercises and meditation can be learned, with some practice, by most. These positions are thought to clear the mind and create energy and a state of relaxation for the individual. A common breathing technique that can be done while in the Siddha, or Lotus position (sitting on the floor with the feet tucked under the knees), is as follows: 1. Sit comfortably in the Siddha position. 2. Breathe in through the mouth to the count of 6. Hold your breath to the count of 9. Exhale your breath through the mouth to the count of 3. 3. Repeat this procedure three times. 4. Breathe in through the mouth and out through the nose, using this procedure, three times. 5. Then hold the left nostril closed with a finger and repeat the procedure, breathing through the right nostril three times. 6. Continue to repeat the procedure in the following manner. Breathe through the left nostril, breathe deeply or shallowly, hot or cold, panting, puffing, or making animal-like noises such as mooing, cooing, barking, etc. Repeat each of the breathing patterns three times for each sound or part you are concentrating upon. These breathing exercises can

then be done in the various yoga positions. After engaging in this activity, many find that they feel relaxed and are energized, alert, and calm.

Ok now, keep this in mind, this eBook, as with all the others in the Omega Method series, is a recipe. The 7 steps are the ingredients. If the recipe is followed exactly as presented, the outcome is predictable. However, absent from these books are detailed explanations of the laws and principles behind each step. I did this for 2 reasons; 1) I'm a lazy writer so I like things short and sweet; 2) I believe you are more likely to commit to finishing it. Besides, you don't need to know where eggs come from or what flower, salt, etc. is to make a cake. All you have to do is follow the recipe and you will have a cake.

I don’t know if you are in the groove, or in a rut. I have no idea if you are happy or just content or, heaven forbid, unhappy. I don't know what state your health is in at the moment. What I do know is, whatever you’re experiencing, you want it to be better. Yes, some will say that they are totally happy with their life just the way it is, but, that’s because life for them seems to get better and better as time goes by without effort. This is a rare breed and most of us are annoyed with these folks. Always laughing and smiling; never complaining no matter what, even though we can see things they should be worried about. We can see all the imperfections in their lives. Yet there they go…Grinning and skipping through life oblivious to all the pain and problems that they should be experiencing. And I am only half joking here, Anyway, THERAPUETIC MEDITATION is not for them. It is for the rest of us.

It is therapy. That is, its specific purpose is therapy. Initially it was designed for people diagnosed with some sort of illness. Now it is used to maintain health as well. This form of meditation, also called Dynamic Meditation, is quite unique. Ok, Ok, one more bit of rationale, and then we’ll get to the meat. There are two categories that all forms of meditation fall into: PASSIVE MEDITATION and ACTIVE (DYNAMIC) MEDITATION.

Passive MeditationAll meditation systems, such as Yoga, Zen, Transcendental Meditation (TM), Silva UltraMind, Blue Rose Therapeutic Meditation (From the Omega Method system) and others have similar benefits. By "passively" letting go and going within, we "deactivate" our survival mechanisms and allow our body’s natural health and rejuvenation abilities to

be activated. Each method has its own way of reaching the inner state of mind, and each has its own goals.

Active MeditationThe Omega Method techniques allow you to use the relaxed, healthy state of mind that occurs during meditation to solve your day-to-day problems. I found that by "actively" utilizing brain languages (kinesthetic, visual, and auditory thought processes), we can use this higher energy state to improve memory and learning skills, change unwanted habits, enhance health and healing. I also developed techniques to achieve what many people call "tapping the super-conscious" to solve problems, reach goals, come up with new ideas and solutions to problems. Some students use the Omega Method System to enhance their spiritual growth. Using such techniques within a meditative state is called "active" meditation.

Are you still with me? Ok, now, what you are about to experience is a technique with the following ingredients: Passive Meditation; Dynamic Meditation; Yoga breathing; NLP and Holographic Visualization all packed into a 20 minute exercise.

You will first notice a deep relaxation from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. And you will notice that relaxation grow deeper and deeper as you continue. You will then notice that your chattering minds begin to slow down. After you bring yourself up and out you may be aware that your body is still relaxed yet full of energy. And your mind will feel serene yet alert. You will also notice that each time you practice this technique; you are able to reach deeper and deeper levels. You may also be surprised that you are motivated to make it a daily practice.

As I mentioned before, I first became aware of THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION about 20 years ago. Actually, it was 23 years ago. I was still in Practitioner training with The United Church of Religious Science (Science of Mind). I was also exploring other healing arts; Yoga from an oriental Master named Hittleman{yep, I know, but that really is his name}; Hypnosis from a Beverly Hills ($$$) Psychologist and of course, various forms of Meditation. At that time, I was still suffering from periodic Migraine and Cluster headaches. They were becoming more frequent and more severe. Long story short, one headache-free night I decided to put into practice all this stuff I was learning. I sat down and wrote my first THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION script. I recorded it on a

cassette; I sat in a straight-back chair and hit the play button. The tape was 20 minutes long. I remember sweating perfusely, but I was ok with it. EUREKA!!! When I emerged I felt WONDERFUL. For several hours I felt relaxed and focused. I spent the next few weeks tweaking the script and experimenting with different background music. I was so into it that it was a month or so before I realized that I hadn’t had one of those excruciating headaches since that very first session. Well, I couldn’t be sure that it was due to the meditation, but I was certain that it played a significant role.

So, I made a few copies of the tape and gave them to fellow the students in my Practitioner Training class who either had health challenges themselves or knew someone who did. I began to get phone calls the very next day. I was onto something here. I developed a series of tapes and produced a seminar; Dubbed it: Spirit/Mind Meditative System and presented all over the West Coast. Sometime later I renamed it THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION. Now, of course, THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION is a general category in which there are many.

You too may find, as many others have, that you wake up one morning and realize that for some reason you feel great! Some people say they feel distinct changes day by day, and others say they notice a change immediately. You are probably wondering how soon you will feel improvement as well.

Enough already, let’s get to it.

The7 STEPS

Step 1-Read and sign the "Commitment Agreement".

Step 2-

Memorize the Emile Coue affirmation: "Every day in every way, I am getting better, better, better and better."

Step 3-Learn the modified yoga breathing exercise.

Step 4-Familiarize yourself with the simple (but powerful) script. Or... read the script into a cassette recorder. Or... have someone who will read it to you.

Step -5Prepare to go within. Sit in a comfortable position. Back and head straight. Hands in your lap or resting on the armrests. Take a few comfortable breaths and allow your body to relax as much as it wants to relax, no more, no less.

Step 6-Close your eyes. Visualize or imagine your TIMELINE. Imagine that where you are standing is your PRESENT, to the left is your PAST, to your right is your FUTURE. Everything that has ever happened to you is on your timeline to the left. All of your problems are there too. There are absolutely no problems in your PRESENT, and all solutions are to your right; your FUTURE. Bring both ends of your timeline together and form a holographic sphere. This is your Holographic Timeline. There is no PAST and no FUTURE. Say "My consciousness cannot be divided".

Step 7-Go within. Eyes still closed, mentally go through the script. Or... Push the play button if you are using a cassette, or signal your friend to begin reading the script.

STEP 1SIGN COMMITMENT AGREEMENT

This is the easiest step but it's also the most important. The COMMITMENT AGREEMENT is a contract between your conscious mind and your subconscious mind.

Here's what to do: Read it at least 3 times. Don't just skim it. Pretend that it is an important legal document. Sign it.

Also, I want you to consciously adjust your attitude. There are 3 attitudes you can have as you approach this material; the first one is: "I like what I’ve read so far, this just might work". The second one is: "I like what I've read so far, I hope it works." And, the third: “I like what I've read so far, I KNOW it will work". You are not required to believe it on all levels, just decide to take that attitude; Say it aloud: "I like what I've read so far, I KNOW it will work for me."

COMMITMENT AGREEMENT

I, ______________________ agree to the following terms:

I will complete all 7 steps.

I will consciously adjust my attitude, as explained above while working with this material.

I will refrain from judging myself and others for the next 21 days. [NOTE: I know this is a tough one. Don't feel guilty if you slip. When you realize you're being judgmental, just stop it, move on and don't give it another thought.]

I will have fun.

STEP 2

Emile Coue was a Doctor of Pharmacy and Psychotherapist in the last century. He was also a renowned Healer. Most of his patients were considered incurable. His reputation grew as his patients improved and were subsequently cured. He believed: "...if all our illness begins within us, then the cure must be in there too." Of course I'm paraphrasing but, that is the essence of what he said. He knew that all healing begins from within; he knew that the mind was perfectly capable of healing the Body, Mind, and Spirit.

Coue came up with one of the most powerful affirmations ever affirmed. He would have his patients repeat it at least 20 times in the morning and 20 times at bedtime. So, that is your step 2, Repeat the following affirmation at least 20 times before you get out of bed in the morning, and 20 times just before you go to sleep for the night.

"EVERY DAY, IN EVERY WAY, I AM GETTING BETTER, BETTER, BETTER AND BETTER."

Do this for at least 21 days without fail.

STEP 3

Believe it or not, many of us do not breathe correctly. At least we don’t breath for optimal health. In this step I want you to practice a simple yoga breathing technique. Practice it as often as you want, but, at least 2 or 3 times per week. The more you practice it, the sooner it will become your normal breathing pattern and that’s what you want.

Diaphragmatic breathingThe diaphragm subsides while the breath is drawn in, and the abdominal region swells. This is the least faulty method of breathing. The base of the lungs fills with air, and the rhythmic lowering of the diaphragm produces a constant, gentle massage of the whole abdominal content, and helps these organs to function correctly.

In order to learn to breathe correctly from the diaphragm - easily completely and naturally - it is wise to practice it lying down, since it is then easier to relax the muscles of the abdominal wall, which serve to hold us upright when we are sitting or walking. Later you will be able to breathe from the diaphragm whenever required - even when walking or running.

To insure complete comfort it is often a good idea to place a cushion under the knees: this diminishes the lumbar arch. Do not lie on too soft a surface, because although it is possible to breathe from the diaphragm when in bed, it is even better to do the exercises on some firm support - such as a rug laid on the floor.

When practicing, close the eyes: this helps to increase concentration.

Before you begin, be sure to breathe out completely a few times; either by giving a few sighs, after which you pull in the stomach thus contracting the abdominal muscles, in order to get rid of any remaining air, or, if alone in the room, by emitting the sound OM. This obliges you to breathe out slowly and completely - and since the sound should be uniform, you will be able to expel the remainder of the air at the rate required. sound a long and sonorous OOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM, vibrating the MMMMMMM inside the skull, and concentrating meanwhile upon the various muscles of which the abdomen is composed. After a few long, slow, deep exhalations there is an automatic tendency to breathe in more deeply from the stomach. We are going to try to accentuate this tendency as far as possible.

It is important to empty the lungs thoroughly, thereby getting rid of the greatest amount of air. This piston-like structure is however not rigid, and unlike that of a motorcar is not flat, but convex rather like the lip of a casserole dish. The diaphragm has a rather rigid, flat central section - the Apo neurotic - and is surrounded by a girdle of peripheral muscles whose contraction determines its downward movements: the diaphragm muscles are among the strongest in the human body, or perhaps we should say, they are designed to be the strongest, because their owner alas, may allow them to atrophy. We can also understand why complete relaxation is only possible once the lungs are emptied without forcible exhalation - because at that moment the diaphragm muscles are at rest. Absolute relaxation therefore can only exist during those few seconds of respite which we allow when we hold our breath with the lungs empty.

Having completely emptied the lungs and held the breath for a few seconds, you will soon realize that your breathing is attempting to start up on its own - therefore relax your stomach and allow the breath to flow. As air enters the lungs, the stomach expands and rises, because the dome of the diaphragm has flattened, and not because the muscles in the abdominal region have contracted. People believe, often in all good faith, that they are "breathing from the stomach", because they are flexing their abdominal muscles. In fact, the latter should be relaxed, and must remain so throughout the inhalation. The lungs

gradually fill with air from beneath. The inhalation will be slow, easy and unquestionably silent. If you do not hear yourself breathing it means that your respiration has acquired the correct slowness. If audible it means you have inhaled with much too haste.

It is essential to breathe in as well as out through the nose. The stomach should rise gently like a balloon being blown up, and the muscle structure should remain supple: should you wish to control the movement you may place your hand on your stomach near the navel, at the same time resting the elbow on the floor. In this way it is easy to follow the expanding movement of the stomach. While this is going on, place the other hand against one side so that you can ensure that the ribs remain completely still, and so realize that the abdominal and thoracic breathing are completely separate.

Should your ribs still move while the stomach is rising, they should be immobilized by girding the thorax with a belt placed near the lower part of the sternum, in the pit of the stomach. Fasten the belt when the lungs are empty, to the required girth. While you breathe in, your diaphragm will be forced to flatten and your stomach will be forced to expand. While you are breathing in, you should be conscious of what is going on in the warm depths of the thorax; you will soon find you are conscious of the movements of the diaphragm, and you will be able to separate the two phases and dispense with the belt.

STEP 4

Familiarize yourself with this Powerful script. Read it through 3 or 4 times. Don’t attempt to memorize it, but I want you to be very familiar with it. When you do that you create a sort of template in your subconscious mind. You will soon, however, find that you have memorized it without trying.

Record the script. If someone is going to read it to you, let them practice a bit for obvious reasons.

Approach this exercise with a sense of expectation. Feel good about it. Have fun with it. This attitude will give it incredible power. And speaking of attitude, remember to CONSCIOUSLY adjust it. You don’t want to “hope” it will work, or even “want” it to work; your attitude will be that it “WILL” work, Even if you have to pretend at first.

Speak in your normal speaking voice. You’ll notice that there are pauses in the script, these should be about 5 seconds in length. It does not have to be perfect, it just has to be clear and audible.

You'll find the THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION script on the last page of the eBook unless the editor moves it to a better location. It won't be hard to find.

Step 5

Prepare to go within. This is a mental thing. You want to build expectation; you're telling your subconscious mind that something good is about to happen. It's also a physical thing. For example, when meditating, it's a good idea to oxygenate the body; especially the brain. That's why we take a few deep, cleansing breaths before "going within". We make sure that the back and head are straight and aligned (as much as possible). This is because the spine distributes the nerves throughout the entire body.

And, remember, in meditation we don't TRY to do anything. We allow. We don't TRY to relax we just kind of let go. Deep relaxation will naturally occur progressively throughout the process. But, have no fear; this ritual is very short and very simple.

Here's the ritual...Sit in a comfortable position. Back and head straight. Hands in your lap or resting on the armrests. Take a few comfortable breaths and allow your body to relax as much as it wants to relax, no more, no less.

Simple, huh?

Step 6

I borrowed this NLP exercise from Chris Westra. I'm keeping this eBook short & sweet. I won't be explaining why and how these steps work here. But, you can find out all about them by visiting my website : www.jamesloving.com. They’re in there somewhere.

[Our consciousness, like a hologram, is an organic whole that refuses to be divided. As Michael says, a picture is very different. If you tear a picture in half, you only have half a picture. When we tear our awareness of reality into pieces, is it any wonder that we don’t have an accurate picture?Now play and experience the recording.Holographic time is whole. There is only now, which can never be divided or fragmented. The meanings of the past, and the implications of the future, are all now. When you choose to experience Holographic time, your consciousness is wonderfully whole. Incredible benefits result from the awareness, focus, and connection of Holographic time.By the way, I highly recommend Michael Talbot’s book The Holographic Universe. Read it with an open mind, it will challenge your views of the universe.] -- Chris Westra (I create Reality)

Close your eyes (after reading this, of course), and sit for 60 seconds quietly doing the following.1) – First, say out loud “My consciousness is one, and cannot be divided.”2) – Visualize linear time (past, present, and future) as a line and see the past and future lines being rolled up into the present. The present point becomes a sphere which cannot be fragmented or divided!

3) – See the sphere of the present as your powerful new symbol for time consciousness. If you wish, see the sphere pulsating or glowing with power and life.4) – Feel the feelings of connectedness, wholeness, focus, and power that the sphere of the present creates for you!This exercise may take longer than 60 seconds at first but you will improve with practice. As you go about your day and week use this exercise whenever you need to regain the present.If you are faithful, you will likely be using it several thousand times over the next few weeks. Fragmenting our consciousness has become a deep habit for most of us. In fact, we actually believed that reality was fragmented.Holographic Time is worth the work. When you are through with this book, you will see and feel all the benefits!

Linear time is divided into parts. It is fragmented into past, present, and future. Time is not meant to be fragmented in this way. When you choose to experience Linear Time, your consciousness is fragmented also. Many illusions and problems occur in our lives because we divide and fragment ourselves.

STEP 7

. This is a powerful mental exercise and it will work with anyone with an IQ above room temperature. However, it will take practice to train your brain and mind to reach and maintain the maximum ‘Healing depths’. My experience tells me that it will take 21 days to 3 months to reach these depths. However, there will be noticeable benefits with the very first session. Now, having said that, let me also say this, I realize that 21 days; 3 months even year is no time at all considering what you get, but even that can be shortened. You can cut that time in half by using the THERAPEUTIC MEDITATION link that I mentioned before, or in one week or less if you are lucky enough to attend the 1day workshop.

Now it’s time to go within, but, before you take that journey, you need to be aware of a few things.

1. You do not have to be in a totally quiet environment. Street noise, people talking in another room, etc. will not disturb you in any way.

2. During this meditation, you will be told to project yourself to your favorite place of relaxation. You will be asked to visualize or imagine this place. Some people see pictures some don’t. They just imagine a scene. Both are ok. …

3. There is a line in the script that reads: “…You are now within, you are at a meditative level of consciousness…” Do not worry whether you are actually "There" or not. Just ‘pretend’ that you are or give it no thought at all. Continue to listen to the script.

OK, you have made your tape or have your friend standing by. So, now, prepare with Step 6, then press play on your recorder, or signal your friend to begin reading and you’re off on your journey WITHIN.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!This is just the beginning. Notice how you feel now. Don't you feel more relaxed now? You may also notice an inner awareness that your body is already making changes. You feel more energetic and motivated. That's good. You are changing from within.

Here are a couple more NLP techniques. Use them.

New Behavior Generator...Do you want to generate automatic changes in your behavior or thebehavior of someone else? Want to become more comfortable in someparticular situation? More relaxed with others? More self-disciplined? Want to stop a bad habit or start a good one?

The New Behavior Generator helps you to do just that -- fast andeasy.

Now, there are typically two problems people face when trying tochange.

1) They have no map of their new behavior in their mind. Theyhave no unconscious knowledge of how to do it. They don't knowwhat it feels like to have that new behavior.

2) Some attitude or belief or past experience is giving them abad feeling about changing.

The New Behavior Generator takes care of the first of those two(other NLP techniques are more appropriate for the second).

In other words, the New Behavior Generator helps you build aclear, compelling representation in your mind, not only of yourgoal but of the unconscious learning and skill necessary toachieve it.

New Behavior Generator (with a role model)

1) After you've chosen a goal think someone who you know could dowhat you'd like to do in the way you'd like to do it. It could bea real person or a fictional character.

2) Watch a "mental movie" of them doing the behavior you wouldlike to do. Pay particular attention to things like theirposture, the quality of their movement, their rate of breathing,how they are speaking (if speaking is involved). From looking atthem think about how they are feeling and what kind of internalimages and/or dialog they are having to support their mental andemotional state. If there's anything you'd like to have happendifferently go ahead and make adjustments in your movie

3) Now watch the movie and "morph" their image to yours. In otherwords, change the image of them into you. See you up on thescreen doing things exactly as they did. Keep their posture,characteristics of speech, rate of breathing etc. If you want tomake adjustments after seeing the movie, go ahead.

4) Once you have it the way you want it, step in and experiencethe movie first person. See through your own eyes and hearthrough your own ears as you go through the experience behavingjust as you ant to. Once again make any adjustments that wouldmake it better for you.

Now you've given your unconscious mind the mental and emotional states it needs to go out and get the job done the way you want it to!
