The Treasure Chest

Higher Spirit has commented: "Your greatest ally or your greatest foe is the subconscious mind." This means, the programs of your subconscious mind either support you or get in your way. How does this fit in with "free will"? Your thoughts are part of your "free will". Your actions are part of your "free will". When you accept the thoughts/words of yourself or others as true for you, these become part of your subconscious programming. Habitual actions become part of your subconscious programming as well. In this sense, your subconscious programming is a "record" of your free will. This "record" tells your subconscious what to do in any given situation. Example: When you learned to drive, you were teaching your subconscious how to drive too. You had to consciously think about what you were doing as you learned to drive. Once your subconscious accepted the "how to drive" program, you were freed of having to think about how to drive. While you think, talk, listen to the radio, watch the road (hopefully), your subconscious is driving the car as it was taught to do, by you, of your own "free will".

Subconscious programming is very valuable. This programming keeps the body functioning, including gauging muscle movements - like calculating the speed of a ball thrown at you so you can catch it. Try figuring that out consciously in time to catch the ball! Subconscious programming tells the subconscious how to act in situations where the conscious mind is diverted by other thoughts. Using the example above, while you are thinking what a hero you will be when you catch the ball to win the game, the subconscious is taking care of moving the body in position to catch the ball as well as calculating where to move the body for catching and throwing the ball where it needs to go to win the game. That is, IF your subconscious programming is that you can be a hero and a winner. If your programming is you are clumsy or you could never be a "winner" or a "hero", the subconscious will move the body in a manner to drop the ball and/or to throw it poorly.

Subconscious programming has a major effect on the way you think, feel, and behave. Example: You are in an argument with a loved one. While you are consciously focused on this argument in the present, your subconscious is remembering arguments with loved ones in the past and is bringing forward not only the unresolved emotions from the arguments of the past, but the thoughts and behavior programmed in childhood as the preferred (willed) automatic response to arguments with loved ones. You may find that despite your best intentions you react in a way seemingly beyond your control - saying, doing and feeling things that surprise, upset, and confound even you. Your body and your emotions respond more readily to subconscious thoughts and programming, than they do to the conscious thoughts. Another way to put this is the programmed will is more powerful than conscious intentions.

Here is another example of the power of subconscious programming: You believe money is good. But as a child, your parents argued continuously about money. Dad and mom would be alternately mad and sad about money. You are really to young to understand what money is but you are not too young to decide money is bad for upsetting your parents all the time. If you are told mommy and/or daddy are gone all the time because they have to get money or there is not enough money, you will make up your mind as a child that money is not only bad for taking away your mommy/daddy, it is also scarce and hard to get. These thoughts become part of your subconscious programming. Such thoughts can make it difficult to get money. Thoughts money are bad can cause you to subconsciously get rid of money as soon as you can.

Conflicting subconscious programs - such as money is good, money is bad or I can heal, I can’t heal - confuse the subconscious and create stress. Which program the subconscious carries out depends upon the amount of energy attached to each program at any given moment. Not the most effective scenario of being in charge of your own destiny.

Many people believe subconscious programs change automatically as people change their beliefs. This is true but the change is often so gradual as to be too late for achieving in this lifetime the goals the old programs block. The same is true of conscious efforts to change subconscious programming through affirmations, prayers, suggestion, guided imagery, visualization and will power. Subconscious programming is protected by the subconscious. To change the programming one must convince the subconscious to change it. To convince the subconscious of anything one must first get the attention of the subconscious. Not an easy task in a "normal" state of consciousness, because in this state, the subconscious is paying attention to everything going on around it, including what you and those close to you are thinking, feeling, and doing. Narrowing down the attention of the subconscious to what one desires the subconscious to focus on is a state of focused concentration that is popularly called hypnosis. This is the ideal state for changing the subconscious programming because a) it is much easier to get the attention of the subconscious mind and b) it is much easier to convince the subconscious to change programming IF the person whose programming is being changed does not object to this change.

When the person whose programming is being changed, or some part of that person, objects to the requested change, the change will not be made or if it is made, it will not be a permanent change. The part that objects will bring the old programming back until this part is convinced the change is desirable.

Hypnosis is used for changing subconscious programming by removed the old and replacing it with the new. Hypnotherapy is necessary for dealing with the parts that object to changes in programming.

You can make your own hypnosis tape for changing subconscious programs that get in your way. It is rarely possible, if it is possible at all, to do your own hypnotherapy. There are many hypnotherapists set on disproving this because hypnotherapists - like everyone else - would prefer to save themselves money. They figure they have the skills, why not apply these skills to themselves? The reason is one cannot be both client and therapist unless one wants a fool for a therapist and a fool for a client. It is difficult, if not impossible, to move back and forth as client/therapist. Not to mention the difficulty of finding blocks and resistance one is hiding from oneself.

Below is an outline on making your own tape for erasing undesirable subconscious thoughts, beliefs, programming and replacing these with those that are desired. If you follow the guidelines, then listen to the tape, you can make these changes IF no part of you resists this change. How do you know if there is resistance? Here are some clues: You have every intention of making a tape or seeing a hypnotist about a goal you have, but you never seem to get around to it. You make the tape and never listen to it. You do listen to the tape and it makes you feel irritable, angry, upset in some way. You do listen to the tape and you find yourself NOT taking the steps necessary to reach your goal and/or find yourself thinking and acting in ways you know are counter to reaching your goal. Like listening to a tape or hypnotist about losing weight and then going out and eating everything or anything you think/know/believe to be super fattening to you. If you have resistance, you can 1) Continue to play the tape or see a hypnotist in an attempt to move past the resistance. (Do not take this route if you become too emotionally distraught.) 2) Seek a hypnotherapist to help you find and resolve your resistance. Choose a hypnotherapist who is professionally trained in regression therapy.

To prepare for making this tape (or seeing a hypnotist), write down every negative belief/thought your think might have been programmed about yourself and the areas of life you wish to clear of negative beliefs, thoughts, and programs. (Remember, most of your programs are imprinted during gestation, birth, and early childhood, so think of the thoughts and beliefs and actions you may have been exposed to during these stages of your life.) Leave a space after every "negative" for writing in the programmed thought, belief, emotion you want to imprint in place of the old. (Make this the opposite positive belief/thought/program. If you cannot think of this for every one, repeat one you have already used.) Below, you will find an extensive list that does this for you. The purpose of this is to share with you some of the more common "negatives" we find with our clients.

Self-muscle testing wtih a pendulum can be of assistance in finding your negative beliefs and old programming. Go to How to Use a Pendulum to see how.

Use tapes on which you can make a recording of 20-30 minutes on each side. From your list of negatives, choose one area and decide which thoughts you are going to erase and replace in your tape. (Choose only one area or field - such as money, sex, self-esteem - per tape and no more than 10 negatives in that area.) Under each of these negative thoughts/beliefs, write the positive you will replace it with in your tape. (See examples below.)

Now make the tape. You can put on soothing sounds in the back ground for the taping if you like. Nature sounds are best. It is better not to play music with words or music to which you know the words as this can be distracting when you are in hypnosis. Speak to yourself on the tape: You can use "you" or "I". For the suggested script below utilizing the BLACKBOARD OF THE MIND, "I" is used. (You can substitute for the blackboard, a computer center if you prefer. Or be at the beach with waves erasing the negative written in the sand and your writing with a wizard’s staff or a magic wand the positive in the cliffs along the shore.)

Begin the tape and speak: " I have found a private place to relax. I make myself comfortable as I close my eyes and take three deep breaths. I choose to be in hypnosis now. My subconscious knows what hypnosis is and I am directing my subconscious to pay attention to everything I say now on this tape. I now relax my body from toe to head (or head to toe if you prefer). As I breathe slowly and deeply, my body relaxes deeper and deeper. A very pleasant, heavy feeling in my body signals me my body is relaxing. A very pleasant, light feeling signals me that my spirit is relaxing too. I want both my body and my spirit to relax into a very pleasant state of hypnosis. I want my subconscious to pay attention and act upon my directives on this tape.

I am now in a favorite place of solitude. (You can suggest any place you like - the beach, a country stream, by a water fall, in a cabin with a fire place as it is raining outside…….). It is so pleasant in this place that I lean back and close my eyes. I can hear the sounds and smells the smells and feel the feelings in this place. I feel so relaxed and so pleasant. My body drifts deeper and deeper into this relaxation. So deep, so relaxed, I float right out of my body and find myself walking now on a path that winds down into a valley. As I walk along the path, I round 10 curves - 10, 9, 8 - deep into this hypnotic state - 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 - free to be as deeply relaxed as I want to be - 2, and 1. I have walked around the last curve in the road and I am now in front of a schoolhouse. This schoolhouse is for me. It is my very own schoolhouse and I walk right up to the door, open it, and step inside.

Imagine you find the perfect place to sit down. You rest your back against a tree or hillside. Imagine that as you lean back you close your eyes and see nothing but black. This is the blackboard of your mind. Imagine that written on this blackboard are the two negative thoughts you came to erase from your mind. Imagine you pick up an eraser and erase them. As you erase them, move the eraser side to side and watch this movement with your eyes. Think to yourself as you erase them, this is not true for me. I want this thought erased from the programming center of my mind.

When I step inside my schoolhouse, I realize I am not alone. All the ages of me that know it is time to let go of these old thoughts, ideas, and beliefs I have chosen to erase today are here with me. They are sitting at the desks, each with a slate chalk board in front of them. I walk to the front of the room and stop in front of the black chalk board there. I can see the blackness of this board. This board is where I show the programmer of my mind what I want it to do.

Subconscious, bring forward that programmer now. Programmer - you are in charge of the programming center of my mind. You are to remove from my mind the beliefs, thoughts, and programs I say to you now. You are to erase, remove, delete them and wipe them away from my programming center. As I say what you are to remove, I also erase it from the blackboard of my mind - reinforcing to you that it is my desire, my will and my directive to remove this from the programming center of my mind.

Now, programmer, erase, remove, delete (read aloud the first negative on your list of 10 - or less- negatives). As you remove this, I also erase it from the black board of my mind. Every age me that has this program erases it from their black boards too. This belief may be true for others, it is not true for me. It is not true for any part of me.

Repeat the paragraph above, erasing and removing each negative you are erasing on this tape. When you are done with the list continue on to the next paragraph.

I put down the eraser now and reach down beside my feet. There is a pail of water there. Each of the other ages have a pail of water by their feet too. We reach into the water. There is a sponge there. We squeeze the sponge and use it to wipe the blackboard of our mind clear of eraser dust, chalk dust, all remnants of those old thoughts and beliefs. They are wiped away. They are gone, gone, gone..

We put down the sponges now and open to our light. The white light of our spirit brings creator energy to us. Energy for the programmer to use to program our new thoughts and beliefs. We can write the new programming on the black boards with our minds or with a brand new piece of chalk. Programmer, accept, imprint, and program these thoughts and beliefs I speak aloud now. (Read, slowly, each new positive belief you wish to have programmed now.)

As we finish, all of these new programs go right into the programming center of the mind. Thank you programmer.

We all go outside now, these other ages of me and me. We go outside to celebrate. I look at the other ages of me. I am very proud of them. They each had difficulties and each did the best they knew to do. I say to them now: "Each age of me is very important to me. Without every one of you, I would not be. I have learned from each of you. We have all made mistakes and the mistakes are important too, for we often learn best through the mistakes we make. I want you all to know, I have built a new home for you within the center of me, within the spiritual light of my spirit. This is a very safe and very loving home. It is a center of spirit. It is the center of my spirit and your spirit. It is the center of the spirit we are. Move into this home now. It is time to be in this center, this home now. Each age of me has a room within this home that belongs only to you. You are free now to be carefree. To learn and discover what is strong, and special and important about you. You have company when you choose. The other ages of me and you are in the home, the center of me, with you. You are alone when you choose, though the love of our spirit is always with you. You are strong and smart. You can take care of you. I can take care of me. We care about one another and our light helps us to take care of ourselves.

To the baby and the child me, I say: "Your parents cared for you when you had a body. They made mistakes too. You are spirit now. You can heal from those mistakes. Leave your parents and your family now and be with me. You belong with me, in the center of the spirit we share. You can visit anyone you choose to visit, but live now within the center of our spirit. Find the light inside of you, the light inside of me, and move within to the center of that light and you are home. This is a loving and a safe home. This is where you belong. This is where you are loved and honored.

All of the ages of me are powerful and strong. I am a powerful spirit with a powerful mind. I use my spirit and my mind to keep my body strong and healthy. My spirit and my mind and my body are a powerful team for my higher purpose and greater good.

I now am ready to return to full conscious awareness. As I count from one to five, I feel energy coming into my brain and body. Good, alert, vital energy.

ONE - The hypnosis is done. TWO - I feel energy coming through. THREE - Energy fills my body.

FOUR - More and more energy. I hear my voice now and begin to move my hands, my legs, my arms and hands to stretch. Clearing my eyes now at FIVE. At FIVE I rub the palms of my hands together to stimulate the natural healing centers in my hands. I place my palms over my eyes and look into the healing blackness as I think to myself: "My eyes clear now. The whites of my eyes are clear and white and bright. Every day I see more clearly as my eyes structure themselves for perfect sight. My left eye focuses easily to see near and far and in between perfectly. My right eyes focuses easily to see near and far and in between perfectly. My third eye - the psychic eye of my soul - focuses easily to see psychically when I want to and need to." I take my palms away from my eyes now and I AM WIDE AWAKE AND FEELING GREAT.

TURN OFF THE TAPE. Either now or when you have the time, sit down and play the tape. Let yourself be hypnotized by your voice on the tape. This is SO easy. Can you close your eyes and listen to positive suggestions without thinking to yourself "this isn't working" or "this won't work for me"? If so, then THAT IS ALL YOU NEED FOR THE HYPNOSIS TO WORK!!! In fact, the harder you try to be hypnotized the more resistance you will create. Don't try. Don't resist. Relax. Listen to the sound of your breathing, or the hum of the tape or the rise and fall of your words. DON'T criticize your voice. This will interfere with the hypnosis. If you MUST criticize, listen to the tape first and make notes of what you want to improve for the next tape you make. Ever let your mind drift to the drone of a steady noise - like a voice talking? THAT is hypnosis. Or ever drift off while doing a steady repetitive activity? THAT is hypnosis. Runners who are "in the zone" are in hypnosis. Yogi's who lie down on nails are in hypnosis. Daydreaming on hard chairs while you listen to a boring lecture is hypnosis. Just tell yourself, as the tape begins, you will listen to everything on the tape and do what it says. You don't have to see what you are doing in the hypnosis. Your subconscious will visualize what you are thinking/saying, even if you don’t. What will happen to you as you listen to the tape is one or a combination of the following:

1. You will resist listening to the tape by thinking of other things. For example, you say to relax in the chair and you think about playing tennis. You say to be at the beach and you think about going dancing. You say you are erasing the programming and you think, "This isn’t working." Avoid doing this. Gently move your mind back to listening to the suggestions on the tape.
2. You listen to and agree with what you are saying on the tape. Example: Suggestion: "My body relaxes." You think: "My body relaxes" or "My body is relaxing" or you note your body is relaxing. Or you simply think, "yes". You do not have to be unconscious in hypnosis. In fact, few people are unconscious in hypnosis. The exception is listening to a tape you have heard before. In this case, the conscious mind gets bored with what it has already heard and may drift off into unconsciousness. (See number 3 below.)
3. As you listen to your suggestions on the tape, your consciousness may begin to drift away; i.e. you are letting go of your voice and drifting into unconsciousness. This is fine as long as your subconscious is listening. You will know your subconscious was listening if you return to full conscious focus when your voice counts you "up". If you don’t "come up" with the count, you were asleep - not in hypnosis - and you will need to play the tape again when you are less sleepy.

Play your tape for erasing the old at least once but probably no more than twice. If you think you need more reinforcement of the new programming, make a tape on the opposite side in which you put ONLY the positive new programming on the board and/or in your mind.

If you continue to fall asleep every time you listen to a particular tape, or you do not play the tape or you continually think of thoughts other than what is on the tape, and/or you feel upset after listening to the tape or find yourself taking steps other than you need to take for the goal you erased the blocks to, seek a good, professionally trained hypnotherapist to work with you on that goal and resistance of some part of you to the goal or to letting go of blocking thoughts/beliefs/programming..

AFTER you have listened to the tape, go to your list. Cross out the negative thoughts/beliefs you just erased. Say aloud: "Not true for me." Circle the positive ones below them. Say aloud: "This is true for me."

Make a new tape following this format for every five - ten negative beliefs/thoughts on your list. Make your way through your list until you have erased EVERY negative thought/belief you can think of. You will probably think of more during this process. You can tape over the tape you've already done or use new tape if you want to keep the old to replay when you think you might need too. Use your intuition with this.

Once a month or once a week or once a day - depending on your choice - DO sit down and say to yourself: "Is there an inner age me who needs my attention?" Then either let your mind drift and pay attention to your thoughts or pick up a piece of paper and a pen (or sit at a keyboard, or record into a tape) and note what comes into your mind. Don't censor yourself. If you write or think, "This is a load of crap." Write or think, "Now, what part of me thinks this?" You'll get an answer. Then think or write, "Why do I think this?" Get a dialogue with you going. This dialogue can be highly instructive.

Spirit never dies. Though spirit is always evolving every stage of that evolution remains ever present in the inner levels of the mind. The "you" of the past remains. Their peace of mind - or otherwise - affects you.
VERY HELPFUL during this process to think of the things in your past that greatly disturbed you. Write about them or speak about them into your recorder. If you still feel emotion over them, let this emotion speak. The
so called negative emotions are telling you something about that event is not yet processed. Go over the event in your mind first, just as it happened. Let your emotions react as they wanted to then. You do this IN YOUR MIND. Anger may want to hit, spit, kick, yell. Let it. Fear may want to run away and hide. Let it. THEN, after the emotions have stepped back, having released their energy, imagine the event again. This time imagine it as you might have had you been a wise, powerful, spiritual you. Use your mental and spiritual powers with this. You CAN make your body as strong as steel with the power of your mind and spirit. You CAN paralyze bullies with the power of your mind and spirit. Do what you need to do mentally to bring the event into the control of your spiritual self. If you can’t think what would have been the best way to handle the event, ask this: "Higher Self, how might I have handled this in a way to the higher good of all involved." Imagine a spiritual master (your Higher Self) shows you or tells you this in your mind. You might also want to ask your Higher Self WHY that experience happened as it did so you can know the lessons given and received in the choices made.

There is one more thing to do. This one is for "past life personalities" of your spirit. Sit down. Close your eyes. Say, "There are parts of my spirit that have experienced death. Let this message go to each of them. You are important. You may not even be aware how important you are. Move into the Light and you will be told and shown why you are important. Do this now. The Light waits for you. The Light is your home, my home. It is where we have come from and where we return. Your questions will be answered in the Light. If you are not in the Light now, go to it to know if you are where you need to be. In the Light, you will be given many choices. You will be shown how to finish what you have left unfinished, live what you have left undone. You will find healing and love and all you are seeking in the Light. Simply think of the Light. Be drawn to it. Be in the Light now."

EVERY DAY, several times a day LIGHTEN-UP! Mentally surround yourself with gold light as you think or say, "Higher Self, protect me from energies, entities, and experiences not to my higher good and bring to me the energies, entities and experiences that are to my higher good." Now open to the light of your spirit. As this white light (which has all the frequencies of color in it), comes in through your crown chakra (top of your head), see it or think of it coming to your third eye. Think of or image your own spirit in your mind’s eye, looking down at the beautiful green and blue planet of Earth, encircled with white clouds. Image or think of yourself holding the Earth in your healing hands. (There is a visual picture of this in Chapter 8, Odyssey of the Soul, Apocatastasis). Beam the white light of your spirit from your third eye to the Earth. Think of or image this white light going into the atmosphere, the surface, the magma, and the core of the Earth.
Go into the silence daily. Not expecting communication. Simply listening to the breathing of your body and remaining open to the presence of your spirit

.THOUGHTS & BELIEFS

It’s amazing what one "picks up" and "imprints" subconsciously in one’s life:

Thoughts and beliefs of childhood. Thoughts and beliefs formed at birth and in the womb.

Direct & indirect suggestions/directives of parents, teachers, peers -whether we admire them or fear them.

What we are taught by church and state. What we hear over and over - sayings and advertising.

Subconscious "imprints" are acted upon automatically by the subconscious mind.

We don’t even have to think about them. We don’t even have to be aware of them!

They become our fate and our destiny unless and until we change them.

The following are common "imprinted" programs of the subconscious mind.

You only need to think or fear this thought is true for you once to imprint it.

Even if you haven’t thought it is true for you, if you hear/heard it often enough,

your subconscious is likely to imprint it anyway!

A word about writing positives: Write what you DO want, not what you don’t.

Example: You don’t want to write, "I’m not stupid." Write: "I am smart".

Also, don’t write, "I will be", write "I am".

Why? All change occurs FIRST in the energy fields of the mind.

How quickly or slowly the change filters to the physical depends entirely

on how much physical energy you give the change.

The thought, "I will be healthy soon" does not change the present condition in the energy fields of the mind.

The thought, "I will be wealthy" does not change the present condition in the energy fields of the mind.

The thought "I am healthy now" DOES change the energy field of the mind.

The thought "I am wealthy now" DOES change the energy field of the mind.

Keep this in mind when you state/think the positive. Remind yourself consciously

the change IS taking place NOW on the energy levels of the mind and will filter to the physical are

Guard against the negative, whether spoken or thought. Guard against doubt, whether spoken or thought.

Immediately think or say, "My truth is different." Then reaffirm the positive.

If a negative thought keeps returning, do the Black Board of The Mind technique with that thought again.

If a negative thought keeps returning or you find you are giving no physical energy to the change

or signs of the change are not happening,

seek a GOOD hypnotherapist to help you find the root/cause/origin of that thought.

No one will ever tell me what to do. I’ll never do what adults tell me to do.

I listen to others opinions with respect and choose what is best for me.

I won’t. I can’t. NO! It’s impossible. I shouldn’t. I should.

People with controlling and/or critical parents/siblings often develop the above as automatic responses to anything anyone suggests, even when self suggests it! Just erase these words from the blackboard of your mind and replace with, "I can". "I will." "Yes" "It is possible" "I make my own choices."

If you have seen an x-ray or picture of an unwanted condition you have, and/or read or been told what is happening with an unwanted condition you have, LOOK up a picture of the desired condition and/or read how that part of the body, brain or mind is designed to function. If you can’t find a picture or description of the mental or emotional condition you wish to have, describe it in your own written or spoken words.

AFTER you have done the above, sit down and close your eyes. Breathe deeply for several breaths. Then IMAGINE you climb a mountain or a hill, whichever you prefer. IMAGINE the feeling of climbing. IMAGINE smelling the fresh air, feeling the warmth or the coolness of the air, the scents of the nature around you. IMAGINE you get to the top and sit down. IMAGINE a cool cloud surrounds you and lifts you up, high into the air, high above the earth. IMAGINE this cloud takes you to a place of LIGHT. There is LIGHT everywhere, all around you. IMAGINE a voice in the LIGHT says to you, "How may I serve you?" IMAGINE you tell this voice about your physical, mental, or emotional condition. IMAGINE you ask this voice WHY you have this condition. LISTEN CAREFULLY. Pay attention to what this "imaginary" voice tells you.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD. If the condition has to do with nutrition, do something about that. If the condition has to do with emotions, deal with these emotions. Even if they are in the past. Do NOT confront the person or persons involved in the experience(s) that created this condition. Go to the past - mentally - and IMAGINE you are in that experience again. Put a Golden Light around everyone in that experience so he/she or they are in a kind of "freeze frame" in which they cannot move. Now let your emotions involved in that experience speak out and/or act out. Remember, you are not physically hurting anyone, the anger/rage are reacting to the energies that created them in like manner. Anger and rage are emotional triggers of self-defense. The body is flooded with chemicals to empower the body to defend itself. If the body cannot/does not "act", these chemicals become "stuck" in the energy fields of the mind. If you want, you step out of the body and let the angry/enraged body act out against those that angered/enraged it. DO NOT

4

CENSOR YOUR BODY. Let the teeth bite if they need/want, the arms push/hit if they need/want, the hands punch/scratch/slap if they need/want, the legs kick if they need/want, the mouth yell/curse/scream if it needs/wants, the stomach throw up on the person(s) if it needs/wants, the sexual organs push out what they need/want to push out. Let the body go. Let the anger/rage utterly destroy the person(s) if it needs to. Remember, this is NOT the person, it is the unbalanced energies of that person(s) the ENERGY of anger/rage is destroying. It is the anger/rage energies in the cells of your body and the thought forms of your mind that are being released. NEVER end here. ALWAYS take the next step: After the anger/rage are done, release the person(s) by saying, in your mind, "Go now and take care never to seek to hurt me again, for you cannot." Now imagine you are going to a sacred place. Imagine there is a sacred being waiting there for you. Ask this being, "Why did I have this experience. What was I to learn from it." LISTEN to what you are told. Then ask, "How might I have handled this to the higher good of all involved?" LISTEN Then thank this sacred being and move along to where there is a body of sacred water. Wash whatever age body was involved in this experience in the sacred waters. Say to the body, "You have served me well. I thank you and bless you with these waters. You are reborn and clean inside and out." Once you have finished this, go back in your mind to the experience again. Relive it following the guidance of the sacred being. When you have finished say to the person(s) involved, "Thank you for your part in my spiritual growth. Go now, for your role in my life lesson is now finished." Then say or think to yourself, "All shame in this experience is ended, it was a valuable lesson. " Do this for guilt, resentment, fear - whatever emotions you think you might harbor from the experience.

AFTER the above, write down the negative thoughts/beliefs you think this old experience might have imprinted, as well as the positive thoughts/beliefs you’d like to replace them with. Then do the Blackboard Technique to erase these from your mind. After you have done so, ERASE from your mind the unwanted pictures and descriptions of the unwanted condition and replace them with the wanted picture and descriptions.

NOTE: If you suspect you have experiences you cannot recall - such as abuse - go to a clinical hypnotherapist who is experienced in helping people recover and heal traumatic memories.

EATING & FOOD

(Many people are allergic to bottled waters. Yes, even organic, clean, spring fresh bottled waters. Go to our website: www.odysseyofthesoul and click on ALLERGONE® to "tap away" allergy response to bottled water - and other allergies - or quit spending your money on them.)

NOTE: Everyone processes food differently. No one diet or way of eating is best for everyone. Pay attention to YOUR body’s response to the foods you eat and the drinks you drink. Use the blackboard technique to erase thoughts/beliefs about food and eating that work against you.

Vitamins and minerals: The food supply is quite depleted of these today. SO, bless your food with Light. Take a daily supplement of vitamins and minerals. If you have trouble swallowing these, ERASE & REPLACE THAT THOUGHT. Then either use powdered supplements or used guided imagery: Swallow some water first, then as you swallow the vitamin/mineral IMAGINE your throat OPENING UP!

What a "charged" field sex is, and we mean that literally. Sex IS an exchanging of energies and these energies are usually very charged by emotion and/or desire. "Playing" with sex is like "playing" with electricity, it is easy to get hurt or to hurt another when ignoring or in ignorance of the energies involved. First, the body must be mature and ready for sex. This eliminates anyone who has not finished moving through puberty. Next, the mind must be mature and ready for sex. This eliminates most teens and all teens and adults who are not aware of and do not pay attention to the following:

1. Sex is an exchange of body energies. Body fluids carry diseases. It is important to be intimate enough with one’s sexual partner to know what diseases are present in his/her body.
2. Sex is an exchange of mind energies. Depression, anger, shame, guilt, humiliation, rejection, fear, sadness, hurt, resentment and so on are energies one can pick up from the energy field of a sexual partner. How much and how long depends upon how sensitive one is and how often one shares these energies. Be certain of your partner’s emotional health and whether you are willing to participate in such an energy exchange.
3. Sex triggers chemicals that can convince you that you are in love, even with people you don’t know or don’t like. The only way to avoid this is to have sex with partners you know and like, and to give the relationship time to "come down" from the chemical high before making life long commitments.
4. People can and do get pregnant from sex, even when they don’t mean to. Be very responsible about avoiding unwanted pregnancies. IN ADDITION to birth control, surround the womb with a gold light, saying, "This gold light neutralizes all sperm." This is not fool proof, so any fools using this as their sole means of birth control beware.
5. Sex can be as addictive as a drug. You can become sexually addicted to a particular person or addicted to sex in general. It is difficult to tell if this will happen to you before you have sex. Therefore, it is best to delay or avoid sex with persons you don’t know well enough to know if you would mind being addicted to that person and to delay or avoid sex with any persons if you have a goal that requires your complete focus. (Such as graduating from school, getting a good education, dedicating yourself to a sport or to a career, maintaining a marriage. Some people can handle sex and a goal without interference in their focus. It is best to know this about yourself BEFORE sex, as it is often difficult to regain the focus AFTER sex if you are not one of these people.)
6. Few people realize how many sexual programs are imprinted in the first intercourse experience. One should be mature enough to be able to request this of one’s first sexual partner: A pleasant setting in which the sex will be not be rushed or interrupted. All worries about disease or pregnancy (unless pregnancy is desired by BOTH partners) have been addressed and dealt with. Foreplay before intercourse: Exploring each other’s bodies and learning the kind of touch each enjoys. Voice admiration for each other’s bodies. Desire that each enjoy the experience. A commitment to taking the time necessary for each to experience orgasm.

How many people do you know who were fortunate enough to have the above as their first sexual intercourse experience? If you have children, speak to them when they are getting sexual education from their schools or their peers about all of the above. Point out to them how important their first time is and how beneficial it will be to have sex only when one is ready emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically for this first time.

For yourself, write down all and any negative imprints you think you might have gotten from your first time. Erase and replace these. To REALLY imprint the positive, close your eyes and imagine your first time in a way and with a person that covers number 6 above and all the positives you wrote down.

If you have difficulty with orgasms: Erase and replace negative thoughts/beliefs about sex, your body, and your self. Read how orgasm happens in a male body if you are a male and a female body if you are a female. Touch yourself. Don’t use a vibrator. Few sexual partners can mimic a vibrator. Learn how you like your sexual organs stroked by stroking them yourself. Imagine a fantasy in your mind that stimulates you as you stroke. Re-create your first time. When you are being touched by your sexual partner in your imagination, stroke yourself, imagining your partner is doing the stroking while you indulge in your fantasy. When you are ready to reach orgasm, imagine a force within you - an energy - that cannot be stopped. Imagine it has begun, deep within your genitals, and it cannot be stopped. Imagine it as a wave, or a fountain gushing up, or even a spiritual being pouring a golden liquid into a cup that runs over. Something you are powerless to stop. Imagine that when this wave crests, or when the fountain erupts, or the liquid pours over, you orgasm. If you actually do, great. If you don’t, fake it. Make the sounds. Make the body movement. Repeat as often as necessary until you DO orgasm.

Then when you have a sexual partner, ask this one to touch and stroke you in the way you’ve trained your body to respond. When you are ready for an orgasm, imagine the force within you that you have programmed for reaching orgasm. You MAY want to make a tape or have a tape made for you suggesting all of this that you can play for programming the subconscious while you physically program your body. If you think this is too technical, you might want to consider this: All great artists of all kinds develop "chops", meaning they develop techniques for triggering inspiration when inspiration is missing in action.

Uncover thoughts/beliefs about yourself and love and/or marriage you have probably thought or said about each of these because of your parents’ relationship and your relationships. Then erase and replace. Do the same for thoughts/beliefs about men (even if you’re a man) and women (even if you are a woman) you have possibly imprinted that do not serve you well. If you made judgments about your father - you probably thought:

"Men are __________." "Husbands are _________" "Fathers are __________________."

The same about your mother. Erase and replace the negatives so you are not bound to them or expect them.

Erase all thoughts children get when they are young: I’m too noisy. I’m being bad when I laugh and make noise. I should be seen and not heard. Fun is bad. Being funny is bad. It’s bad to have fun. Having fun is dangerous. I get punished when I have fun. I shouldn’t have fun. I shouldn’t be happy. I must be quiet. I’m too much. Feeling good is always followed by feeling bad. Highs are always followed by lows.
