Basically when I'm creating or synthesizing a process, I sit down and daydream intensely about what I want to accomplish. It's like writing a novel, I just let my imagination go. I also have a knowledge bank of processes that are both ancient and modern. I also let my unconscious do the work. Stuff will pop up in my daydreams and since these processes are a combination of mental, emotional, and energetic I daydream about how they might work in advance. My daydreams are often dreamstates after a bit--like the conscious dreaming you get during the M.G. and other stuff. Sometimes an idea or a pattern will just pop up at me. Add to this experience in mediation, examining all sorts of processes and seeing what makes them tick, knowing how my body and mind naturally processes things. I know us humans face certain obstacles in clearing and creating. We lock down, resist, tense up, suppress, get distracted etc, and so I have to problem solve around this. I pay very close attention to myself and how people do various things. A part of my unconscious is always examining what's going on. It's like a writer who's walked away from his book because an element isn't working quite yet. He turns it over to his unconscious.
The unconscious distills it and it comes back in the form of an evolved and intuitive answer.
I ask myself what might work here. I toss it up to my unconscious. Remember this process also involved many, many personal experiences, lessons, knowing about all sorts of tech both ancient and modern, knowing how they work from an experiential level. Also add to this experimentation with myself and with people I know who love this sort of thing. I watch what goes on very closely.
This person did X. This other person did x.
I'll ask my unconscious if there is another framework beyond feeling things, beyond energy work, beyond anything that we are aware of. Does a thought form or feeling form discreate another way. I know it evaporates from being observed in a relaxed state. I know it loses its energy.
I know if it is dispossessed from its anchors in the body and along the organs, and sometimes exterior to the body, it will dissolve quickly. I also know these bits of energy can dissolve outside our awareness. What is going on here?
To make this brief I'll talk about the MG and the Circuit Breaker. I knew for the longest time that breathwork, even by itself was a pretty powerful clearer and was quite capable of bringing up emotional material from the body.
I knew steady breathing was esential to really release things. Breathwork can rapidly overide many of our defense mechanisms and can in some instances create restims and panic reactions no matter how rapidly it moved energy and unblocked. I saw breathwork as a powerful engine, but one that sometimes was problematic. As a straight clearer it can be rather scattershot and unweildly. It requires something to focus it and make it safe. The sort of breathing I'm talking about here is the circular breathing you find in my processes. This is the creation of ancient yogis. Well I had this one powerful tool that I have immense respect for and I wanted to harness it and make it safe for voyagers. I knew that some energy therapists and kineasilogists had worked around the head. I knew the area around the eyes and nose and third eye was a major confluence of the energy meridians flowing into the head.
I knew this area might be able to channel energy into the frontal cortex. Above it kineasiologists and one-brainers
had developed some head holds like the neurovascualr point holds up on the forehead. The one- brainers placed their palm high up on the forehead. And they used an occipital grip. This didn't give me what I was looking for. I wanted something that would channel that energy and focus a beam between the front and the back of the head--the lower rear where the visual cortex was. Tapas Fleming had developed a very good process hold called the TAT that touched the third eye and the two below the eyebrow meridians. However this position can't be held for long, it did nothing to hold off the kind of restim or abreaction that circular breathing could launch. I experiemented with all sorts of grips and finally one evening I discovered the vertical hand grip of the MG. It channeled a lot of heavy energy flow into the frontal cortex. The middle finger caught energy coming over the top from the crown area and for some odd reason it seemed to shut down restims by bypassing the flight fight area. Further I added a safety tug on the upper forehead that covered the neurovasuclar points. As many of you know the MG can be used in the all energy mode or as straight feeling exercise. I urge people to use the energy mode if they have a history of panic or severe traumas. The focusing statements were developed out of the need to better utilize and focus the process.
The Circuit Breaker also uses the same breathing process, but it is a feelings oriented approach. I experiemented around just to give folks something different to do. It isn't greatly different from the MG save for two important respects: The hand hold is vertical and utilizes and neurvascular pull from lower down. Kineasiology has a similar palm across the forehead postion except it is higher up. I wanted something different because doing tech can be a challenge. If you do the same thing all the time some folks can get bored by it. Like going to the gym and using the same machines for the same exercise. So back to step 2 I played around with a slew of different segments here. I wanted a fast and simple process that people could learn and take home and could do with safety. I wanted to involve the third eye point because it makes a target stable if you hold it or tap it. The notch below the nose helps correct neurological flow problems, homolateral reversals. It also makes your targets clearer. I found you could do both at the same time because they are on the central meridian. They did what I wanted to do. I also followed this up with a kineasilogy head tap. This head tap, if it covers both hemispheres of the head, will disrupt signals in your brain and potentiates a dissruption likely in what ever you are focusing upon. This appears to dissolve temporarily your problem's anchor to wherever it is in your body. However you have to immediately do a palm hold on the region around your heart beat. This ensures the anchor connection is broken. I can't really tell you exactly what goes on here because it would be blind theorizing on my part at this time. Some of you are already noticing that it works. Then the head grasp which is different than the MG for variety sake. It provides safety in both its fron and back neurovascular holds.
There are those add on exercises to give folks some variety.
The roll forward, roll back does some similar things that part of the Core States exercise does. However it does not do the processess' return trip. The roll back, roll forward is one of those exercises that is floating around out there like the old hypnotherapist's process of looking at trains going back and forward in time, or the movie theater screen with the curtain being drawn. There as old as the hills and nobody seems to know who originally made them. They may have come from the 40's or possibly further back. Also a variance of the roll back, roll forward appears in Rational Emotive therapy. Albert Ellis used to ask people what could be even worse. He would, as one of the posters mentioned, keep asking that question until it hit a dead end. These dead ends didn't seem all the bad to the client. Someone out there also developed the backward questioning about what good could happen. I don't know who developed these processes and I never saw it recorded anywhere, but I think they are useful add ons in clearing work. Core Transformation has a much more complex variety of forward backward exercise that asks you to dissolve your previous questions. It also winds up using Time Line work.
So basically I do a lot of intense daydreaming focused on what I want to do, I sometimes synthesize, I utilize various natural processes on going in our mind/body, I use serendipity and chance discovery, I may reshape an old process and retrofit it. The MG is basically a hand hold that no ones used before coupled with an ancient yoga breathing system. The Circuit Breaker, although it uses items that may have appeared separately in kineasiology and yoga, is pretty all new stuff save for the add on exercises at the end. Some of that stuff has been around thousands of years and is part of our natural human processing.
Take care, Steve
