1. Orientation – Overview – Autobiography – What Happened?
Goal of the Method – Universal Application – Least complicated solution is the best solution – Nothing to ‘believe’ in – everything can be practiced and experienced for yourself. The only requirement is to suspend disbelief. This is not therapy!
2. Mindfulness Meditation – Body Scan
Theory: body sensations are primary – they happen before the brain puts an emotional spin on them. The sensory input goes to the amygdala (fight or flight) and the hippocampus (memory) and quickly determines that you either have an aversion or craving for these sensations. Your brain then puts an emotional spin on the sensations and labels them: frustration irritation anger rage; fear anxiety; grief loss sadness disappointment. You may then develop a belief about these emotions: I’m not good enough, not worthy, feel toxic shame, fairness/justice.
3. Grounding Technique – Anchor – Metta – Loving-kindness
It’s important to have a grounded, safe, ‘happy place’ to return to as you do your emotional work. It’s critical to cultivate the emotions of feeling unconditionally loved, safe and accepted. This is everyone’s desire: to feel unconditionally loved, safe and accepted.
