I have recently had a client who read my blog article about Brain Gym® Creative Vision and travelled to have a balance with me.
During the balance, some positive affirmations were selected as a way of achieving her goal and releasing emotions.
I would like to share what her session was like with some insights about what we could do with Brain Gym® when you want to achieve a big goal.
<Goal and Pre-activity>
The client had a clear goal/vision, that was to make a financial success by doing a business with her partner harmoniously with her masculinity and femininity integrated.
She started a balance with a positive mindset, but during the pre-activity after goal-setting, it seemed her mind and body were in a stressed state.
When she put her goal into action by doing a pose of tug-of-war with her partner, it appeared that while her goal was vivid in the mind, her mind and body were not coordinated, which made her stressful.
I asked her to feel the state in the body, and she described a tension in the chest, the shoulder, and around the shoulder blades, and a dark and unpleasant sensation in the abdominal region.
<In-depth checks on visual skills>
In addition to the checks conducted in Brain Gym® balance like laterality, centering, and focus, some visual skills were selected using symbols, and in-depth checks were performed on these skills in the Creative Vision balance.
These skills and movement menus were selected and determined based on the client's body swings, which was to sway the body forward and backward, and when the body moved forward it meant ‘Yes’, while moving backward meant ‘No’.
In her balance, the visual skills selected were about ‘Receptivity' and particularly on 'Perspective’ to see the big picture using the right-brain.
These are the skills opposite from expressional ones like total attention, analysis, or projection using the left-brain.
<Checking the visual attitude＞
Visual skill checks are not only about checking the eye movement, but also to check the visual attitude towards specific statements.
When the mind and body are in balance, positive statements should be affirmed, and negative ones should be denied.
However, under stress, this tends to be reversed, leading to a state where positive ones are denied and negative ones are affirmed, which was seen during her balance as follows.
(Positive statements/questions denied by the body swings)
‘Look and be aware of yourself at the same time’
’Let go and move on’
‘Can you open to the periphery?’
‘Are you fully experiencing your vision?’
(Negative statements affirmed by the body swings)
‘Hold the world still; stare’
‘Focus excessively; try to see’
‘Gape; analyze intensely‘
‘Get lost in details’
Even if one has a clear goal or vision, such a reversed state would make it difficult to achieve it.
<Movement menus>
Once the stressful state was noticed by the pre-activity checks, a realm to be balanced was selected.
The client selected “Receptive process” in the emotional realm, which was to anchor positive affirmations.
When I showed her a list of affirmations with opposite negative statements on vision issues, grouped by the related meridian, she found some negative statements that were familiar to her, and then chose one affirmation with which she wanted to work the most.
The following activity was performed to anchor the affirmation:
1) Affirmation related to Stomach meridian
Familiar negative statement: I am impenetrable.
Affirmation: I nourish myself in my environment.
Activity: To hug herself with her affirmation in mind, while the back of her head was touched.
2) Affirmation related to Kidney meridian
Since the process was not complete after working with the first affirmation for several minutes, she then selected "Resonation" in the emotional realm where she needed to express her sadness.
Following that, another balance with a different affirmation in the emotional realm was selected.
In this time, an option of age was selected, which was the time of conception, and the following activity was performed while imagining the conception time.
Familiar negative statement: My looks are cold.
Affirmation: My looks are warm.
Activity: To imagine the consciousness at the time of conception with her affirmation in mind, while ‘positive points’ on the forehead were touched.
After this activity, she looked brightened as if a significant release had occurred, and the process completed.
<My insights and reflections throughout the session>
As mentioned above, the balance was not complete with the first affirmation and it was obvious that some other activity was required.
After fully expressing her sadness, she came back to Receptive process with a different affirmation dating back to the moment of conception.
As it says, patterns of emotional conflict arising in the early stages of life tend to recur throughout one's lifetime and since there is no concept of time frames in the right brain, her stress pattern may have originated at conception, and it would have been necessary to trace back to that point during the balance.
In fact, at the very beginning of the session, she mentioned the possibility of having experienced birth trauma (feeling intense stress while in the womb) in introducing herself.
I felt as stress in the foetal-stage was extremely high, the activity to work on that period of time had to come at the very end of her balance.
The wonderful thing about a Gym® balance is that it follows what the body tells with regards to the priority and order of the balance, to make an optimal balance that satisfies all aspects of the mind, the heart, and the body.
Although she sometimes looked stressed, confused, and tired during the balance, trusting her body's wisdom led to a good ending - a joyful state with a broadened perspective.
<Home play and anchoring period>
In Brain Gym®, it is considered important to anchor what the client has experienced during the balance, and the balance concludes by selecting home play to do at home for a while.
It does take some time for the newly activated neural pathways to fully consolidate.
According to the research from University College London, which was shared in Calvin Coyle's NLP course, it takes 18 to 254 days, with an average of 66 days, for neural pathways to be rewired and for new habits (thought patterns) to form.
The shortest period of 18 days is true of cases where small daily habits become formed, so in more life-changing cases like hers, it is likely to take longer.
Transforming negative unconscious thoughts into positive ones cannot be achieved overnight, but for those who are struggling with achieving some big goal, Brain Gym® could be of great help and I would like to encourage you to use Creative Vision.
However, please be informed that it is generally intended for those who have already experienced Brain Gym® balances, courses or similar modalities as it is comprehensive, exploring the deeper layers in the subconsciousness.
Finally dear my client, thank you very much for coming all the way from afar!
