Whenever we are experiencing problems it is due to our own
feelings. If we keep feeling un-resourceful in the same
situation this indicates our feelings have become habituated
and we have had no choice in how we responded.

This will change though won't it because you can find
yourself becoming curious about the new and simple technique
below. ;)

People often have the intention to change their limiting
feeling responses but unfortunately stay stuck in
behavioural patterns by talking to themselves and others
with "why?" questions.

"Why do I keep feeling like this in that situation?!"
"Why can't I change?" etc.

Ooops! These kinds of thoughts tend to create neurotic
loops.

Another way that is usually more useful (i.e. gets a desired
outcome) is to modify the structure of the thought pattern.

If you think about it all of our thoughts can only be made
up of the five senses. Visual, Sounds, Feelings, Smells,
Tastes. Perhaps even so called subtle energy experienced in
healing systems such as Reiki are still experienced by the
mind within the five senses.

By becoming aware of some of the specific characteristics of
a thought process enables us to then change that structure.
For instance we could discover if the pictures we were
making in our head were still pictures or movies in black &
white or in full colour.

The following technique enables us to change our feelings by
representing them in sounds. Please go ahead and check out
the technique now, I'll give a little explanation
afterwards.

The Musical Tempo Changer

1. Pick a situation where you get a certain feeling that
limits your ability to respond with choice.

2. Become aware of the feelings in your body. Where do you
feel the feelings? Notice how the feelings move.

3. If you were to allow yourself to represent the feelings
in music what music would you hear? Simply let some music
come to mind.

4. As you listen to the music inside your mind pay
particular attention to the rhythm.

5. Now think of how you want to feel instead of the current
feeling. What kind of rhythm represents that desired
feeling? Now hear new music with that new rhythm.

6. Keep playing the new music in your head as you think of
the situation you choose in step 1. Five to twenty seconds
is usually enough.

OK, that's great, now think of something totally different
like what did you have for breakfast yesterday?

And now think about the situation you selected in step 1 and
notice how your feelings have changed.

By representing the feelings as music enabled us to become
aware of a rhythmic structure. And because we associated
that musical rhythm with our feelings they changed when we
changed the rhythm!

Nice, simple and effective right?!

Now what would happen if you were to apply this technique on
3 other 'limitations.' Would your unconscious begin to learn
the strategy and then begin to generalise the pattern into
other areas of your life or would it begin to happen in your
sleep and dreams instead?

Now WHY would that be a useful question to ask yourself now?
