After using the guided journey for a couple of days, here’s a brief description of my experiences.
The 30 minute journey has 3 parts:
- Relaxation and going into the “self-hypnosis” or quiet state
- Identification and integration of the two opposing wishes (to lose weight and to keep the benefits of the weight)
- Reinforcement of the learnings from the integration
What’s happened to me so far is that I’ve experienced strong emotions and memories while relaxing, and that each identification and integration experience has been different.
Example: today I visualized a scroll in my right hand, holding the rational reasons to lose weight, and a pile of fat in my left hand, representing the layer of safety and protection that fat provides. Upon integrating the two, I visualized muscle.
From that, I conclude that building muscle will provide me with the same protection and safety that I formerly got from my layers of fat. That’s a powerful reason to exercise.
