My social dominance or inferiority (Preoptic Area)
How you are able, or not, to establish your own social place and dominion.
For example, can you stand up for yourself?Or are you dominated by others?Are you inferior?Are other people better than you?Do you normally feel intimidated, overlooked, or even used?
My thinking and behaviour for a reward (Anterior Cingulate Cortex)
How a certain way of thinking or behaving gets you some kind of reward.
For example, do you dislike something, but somehow can’t live without it?Do you secretly get something in return for your “unwanted” thought, feeling, or desire?Why do you really hang on to it?If you let go of it, will you suffer?
My self-identity and social place (Base Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis)
Knowing who you are and know where you ‘fit in’ with others.
For example, do you feel isolated from your own gender, age group, your peers, or your culture?Do you feel out-of-place or “different”?Do you know who you are, and what you are?Do you fit inside your own body, life, and existence?
My relationship to the outer world (Amygdala-Right)
Your ability (or lack thereof) to interact with everyone and everything else.
For example, how comfortable are you with the outside world?Does it threaten you?Do you want to isolate yourself?Have you learned that the outer world is painful or a threat?Can you cope with the outer world?
My relationship with my inner world (Amygdala-Left)
How you view yourself and whether you are acceptable in your own eyes.
For example, are you good enough?Do you view yourself poorly?Do the opinions and view of others effect you?Are you sensitive to other people’s emotions, and “take them on board” too easily?How solid is your own inner sense of security?
My instincts and assumptions (Suprachiasmatic Nucleus)
How you have learned to instinctively react and feel to thoughts and situations.
For example, do you instinctively feel or do something?Do you automatically assume you must act or feel in a certain way, to enjoy, or hate, something?Have you learned how to react in that manner because there’s no better way?
My motivation and self-control (Basal Ganglia)
How you are motivated to do or feel something, or to allow something.
For example, is there some deep-seated reason (or reasons) to feel, think, or desire something?Is this the only option?What motives are there, deep down?Is self-control a poor option?Will you suffer pain if you make a different choice?
My emotional awareness (Insular Cortex)
How aware you are of your own emotions, and the emotions of others.
For example, can you tell what you are feeling?Or would you rather be blind to it?Is it overwhelming?Can you tell what others are feeling, and are you able to empathise with them?Or are other peoples feelings unwanted?
The emotional goals I pursue (Caudate Nucleus)
How you act and feel in your pursuit of an emotional goal.
For example, do you secretly get something good out of an “unwanted” thought, feeling, or desire?Are you blind to seeing that something harms you because it provides something else along with it?Have you never reassessed the goals you’re pursuing?
The pleasure or pain I expect (Orbitofrontal Cortex)
How you expect to feel in return for feeling something, or for acting a certain way.
For example, do you assume and expect that others will accept you, or reject you?Do you expect that something will give you pleasure or pain?If you keep experiencing your “unwanted” thought, feeling, or desire, what do you expect it to give you?
Comprehending my experiences (Hippocampus)
How you are able, or not, to take in and comprehend your experiences in life.
For example, is facing up to life too much?Must you be blind to some of it?Do you feel confused or overwhelmed by your experience of life?Can you cope?Is comprehending life too painful?Would you rather avoid it?
Over-charged
Being over-charged means there is too much energy/activity in part (or all) of your body, like a nervous energy.Too much mind-chatter.Too much anxiety.
The “charge” is needed to figuratively help keep you together.If you let go and rest, you feel like you’ll fall to bits and collapse.A constant supply of energy is needed to survive.
Under-charged
Being under-changed means that when you are living through a problem, there is a lack of energy or activity in part (or all) of your body.A deadness.A lack of life.
Figuratively your body has checked out of the hotel.It’s dead.Your body is dragged behind your mind.Is it numb?Is there no drive (or no point) on having any energy?
Over-grounded
Being over-grounded means you are too connected to the harsh reality of life, your feet are too firmly on the ground.Reality is ever-present.You can’t escape it.
It’s like you’re too focused on the here-and-now, and cannot imagine any other possibilities.You are too literal, too concrete.You cannot “switch off” and escape.
Under-grounded
Being under-grounded means you are not rooted into the ground of reality.You have escaped up into the air, away from the harsh reality of life.
Reality is not taken seriously, or not dealt-with.You do not focus on the here-and-now.You escape to the imagination and fly away.
Over-bounded
Being over-bounded means your figurative boundaries are too strong.You are an iron fortress who cannot be influenced from outside.
You can’t allow yourself to show outer expression, or to connect with others.You struggle to empathise.You’re a thick-skinned solid fortress.
Under-bounded
Being under-bounded means you are figuratively thin-skinned.You have little or no protection against the influences of the outside world.
The outside world flows right through you, like you’re made from a fine material that the wind can blow through.Indeed, you’re easily blown about by others emotions.
Looking at “[[person]]” at age [[age]], what do I need?
Test, “Reveal what I need...”
Look at my past (1 of 2)

Sensory techniques
Test, “Reveal what I need to do...”
Here we use sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. For example, if your feeling was a colour, what would it be, and what would you change it to if you could choose? (“Change a sense”) Or, if your feeling was a colour, what would it be, and what does that reveal about how you feel? (“Interpret a sense”)
Change a sense
What feeling?
Think, what are you considering? Your issue in general, something already mentioned, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:
Which sense?
Test, “Reveal which sense we’ll be using...”
The feeling is...
Think, if your feeling was a type of the sense above, what would it be?
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:
Change it
Let’s change the sense to one you want instead. The feeling is the same, but you are now choosing the colour/pattern/light/whatever that represents it. Think what you want it to be.
Test, “Reveal if this is what I want it to be: Yes, No, Maybe.” If it is, type it:
Close your eyes and imagine the first sense being replaced with the second one.
Open your eyes and take a deep breath.
Change a sense
Regarding “[[text]]”, I feel the [[radio]] “[[text]]”.
I changed this to be “[[text]]”.
Interpret a sense
What feeling?
Think, what are you considering? Your issue in general, something already mentioned, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:
Which sense?
Test, “Reveal which sense we’ll be using...”
The feeling is...
Think, if your feeling was a type of the sense above, what would it be?
Test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:
Interpret it
Think, why is your feeling that? What does it tell you about your feeling?
Test, “Reveal if this interpretation is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:
Interpret a sense
Regarding “[[text]]”, I feel the [[radio]] “[[text]]”.
My interpretation: “[[text]]”.
Physical techniques
Test, “Reveal which...”
These six techniques are designed to change your feelings through your physical body. They work by disrupting or muddling your normal way of thinking and feeling, helping you to ‘snap out’ of your current thinking pattern, so you can consider new possibilities.
Move my eyes
What’s this?
Repeatedly moving your eyes in a pattern while thinking of a feeling or issue helps to shake up a fixed way of thinking. It helps the mind break out of a set mindset and move on.
What to think about?
Think what you need to keep in mind. Is it your issue in general, something that’s already come up, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If it is, type it below:
Direction?
Test, “Reveal which eye movement I need: up/down, left/right, in circles, or any.”
Move your eyes
Repeatedly do the eye movements while thinking of the above. Use your fingers to guide your eyes if necessary. Do it until it feels difficult to keep the thought in mind.
Had enough? Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, do it a little more; if yes, take a deep breath.
Move my eyes
I moved my eyes while thinking about “[[text]]”.
Move my body
What’s this?
Repeatedly moving your arms or legs while thinking of a feeling or issue helps to shake up a fixed way of thinking. It helps the mind break out of a set mindset and move on.
What to think about?
Think, what do you need to keep in mind during this technique? Is it your issue in general, something revealed earlier, or something more specific?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, try again. If yes, type it below:
Move what?
Test, “Reveal which area of my body to move: Upper body, Lower body.”
Then keep testing to find out exactly what to move. For example, if your body chose ‘Lower body’, you can test for your feet or legs. Then test which direction to move them in, such as forward and back, side-to-side, or in circles. When located, type it below:
Move
Repeatedly do the movement while thinking of the issue. Do it until it’s difficult to keep the thought in mind.
Had enough? Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, do it a little more; if yes, take a deep breath.
Move my body
While thinking about “[[text]]”, I moved my “[[text]]”.
Tap my skin
What’s this?
Repeatedly tapping your skin while thinking of a feeling or issue helps to shake up a fixed way of thinking. It helps the mind break out of a set mindset and move on.
What to think about?
Think, what do you need to think about? Is it your issue in general, something revealed earlier, or something more specific?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, try again. If yes, type it below:
Tap where?
Test, “Reveal which area of my body to tap: Upper body, Lower body.”
Then keep testing to find out exactly what to move. For example, if the answer was “Upper body”, you can test for your face, shoulders, chest, or arms. When located, type it below:
Start tapping
Repeatedly tap on the area while thinking of the issue. Do it until it’s difficult to keep the thought in mind.
Had enough? Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, do it a little more; if yes, take a deep breath.
Tap my skin
While thinking about “[[text]]”, I tapped my “[[text]]”.
Look at a flashing light
Do not use this technique if you, or anyone who may see your screen, has epilepsy.
What’s this?
Looking at a flashing light while trying to keep in mind a feeling or issue, has been shown to shake up a fixed way of thinking, possibly helping the mind break out of an unwanted mindset and move on.
What to think about?
Think, what do you need to think about while watching the flashing light? Is it your issue in general, or something revealed in the session, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, try again. If yes, type it below:
Test, “Reveal which colour...”.
Test, “Reveal which speed...”.
Click the button below to watch the flashing light. Watch it while thinking of the above, until you can’t keep it in mind easily.
Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe”. If not, watch more. If yes, take a deep breath.
Look at a flashing light
While thinking about “[[text]]”, I watched the [[radio]] light at a [[radio]] rate.
Change my body language
What’s this?
Your body language expresses how you feel. By changing it to what you want, you can show your brain how you want to feel. It can break a vicious-circle, or habit of feeling. Body language includes your facial expression and any gestures you make with your hands.
What to think about?
Think, what do you need to think about while performing this technique? Is it your issue in general, or something revealed in the session, or something else?
Test, “Reveal if that’s it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, try again. If yes, type it below:
What’s your body language now?
While thinking of your issue, make a body language pose (remember, body language includes facial expression and gestures).
Think, what does this body language reveal about how you feel? Do you look open, defensive, scared-looking, confident, timid, arrogant, sad, or something else? Use a mirror if necessary.
When you’ve thought of something, test, “Reveal if that’s right: Yes, No, Maybe.” If no, try again. If yes, type it below:
What do you want?
Think, what body language (including facial expression and gestures) would you like to have instead, when thinking of your issue?
When you’ve thought of something, test, “Reveal if that’s right: Yes, No, Maybe.” If no, try again. If yes, type it below:
Practice it
Practice your chosen body language pose for a few moments while thinking of your issue.
Test, “Reveal if I need to practice it again: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, practice it again.
Change my body language
On the subject of “[[text]]”.
My body language was “[[text]]”.
I changed it to “[[text]]”.
Reassure myself
What’s this?
This is an opportunity to pause and reflect, to calm yourself, to say soothing words to yourself, and get some reassurance. It’s very useful if this part of your session is too stressful. It can also help you to understand what you’re experiencing, or to tell yourself what you need to hear.
Anything to say?
Think, do you need to say any reassuring words to yourself (if you are currently looking at a past age, it may be what you need to say to yourself at that age)?
If you have something, test, “Reveal if this is correct? Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it:
Wrap your arms around yourself
Hold yourself by wrapping your arms around yourself, like you’re hugging yourself.
Close your eyes (say whatever you need to yourself) and take as long as you need. When done, open your eyes and take a deep breath.
Reassure myself
What I said to myself: “[[text]]”.
Visual techniques
Test, “Reveal which...”
These four techniques use your imagination to see pictures or moving images. By representing your feelings as images, patterns, shapes, and pictures, we can help you to see things differently and to feel differently about situations and issues.
Recover a book (1 of 3)
What’s this?
You’re going to imagine that you have a book describing in perfect detail how you feel. Then you will imagine what the cover looks like. Finally, you’ll choose a new cover for that book. Changing the colours, smells, patterns, etc. on the book helps your brain to look at the contents of the book (how you feel) in a new way, helping to snap your mind out of it’s set ways.
What’s the book title?
Imagine you can see a book all about how you feel. Think, what is the book title?
When you’ve thought of something, test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If not, think of another title. If yes, type it below:
Recover a book
My book is entitled: “[[text]]”.
Recover a book (2 of 3)
What’s the cover look like?
Think, what cover does the book have right now?
What are its colours, patterns?

What does it smells like?
Type a brief description:
Close your eyes and imagine the book with the new cover, then take a deep breath and open your eyes again.
Keep it?
Test, “Reveal if I need to keep this book: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, pick a place, close your eyes, and imagine putting it there; then open your eyes again and take another deep breath.
The new cover: “[[text]]”.
Reframe a picture (1 of 3)
What’s this?
You’re going to imagine a picture representing the feeling or situation you’re considering. Then you will imagine what frame would go around it. Finally, you’ll choose a new frame. Changing the shape, design, colours, etc. of the frame helps your brain to look at the picture within (how you feel) in a new way, helping to snap your mind out of it’s set ways.
First, imagine your picture
Think, what is the picture of?
When you have an idea, test, “Reveal if that’s correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it below:
Reframe a picture
My picture: “[[text]]”.
Reframe a picture (2 of 3)
What’s the frame?
Think, what frame suits the picture?
What’s its colour? Is it patterned? Is it big or small?
If you pick it up, is it heavy? Is it fragile? Is it hollow?
If you touch it, is it rough or smooth? Hot or cold?
If you sniff it, does it have an odour?
If you lick it, is there a taste?
What tapped, does it make a sound?
Is it new or old? Clean or dirty?
Type a brief description:
The frame: “[[text]]”.
Reframe a picture (3 of 3)
Replace your frame
The frame is now gone.
Think, what frame do you want around the picture instead?
What’s its colour? Is it patterned? Is it big or small?
If you pick it up, is it heavy? Is it fragile? Is it hollow?
If you touch it, is it rough or smooth? Hot or cold?
If you sniff it, does it have an odour?
If you lick it, is there a taste?
What tapped, does it make a sound?
Is it new or old? Clean or dirty?
Type a brief description:
Close your eyes and imagine the picture with your new frame.
Keep it?
Test, “Reveal if I need to keep it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, pick a place, then close your eyes and imagine putting it there. When done, open your eyes and take a deep breath.
My new frame: “[[text]]”.
Be like someone else (1 of 3)
What’s this?
You’re going to remember (or imagine) someone experiencing something you would like to experience, but could not. Then, you’ll imagine that you are magically taking that person’s place, experiencing exactly the same things. This helps you to see new possibilities for yourself.
Who do you need to imagine?
Think of someone else (real or imagined) who is experiencing something you would like to experience, but you feel you never could. Consider:
What are they being?
What are they doing?
What do they want?
What do they feel?
When you have a person and their experience in mind, test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type a brief description of who they are and what you see them experiencing:
Be like someone else
I imagine: “[[text]]”.
Be like someone else (2 of 3)
Imagine yourself in their place
Close your eyes and imagine the person experiencing the same things as before, except this time it’s you with your face. You will do and feel exactly the same things in exactly the same way.
See yourself doing the same
See yourself wanting the same
See yourself feeling the same
Again?
Test, “Reveal if I need to imagine it again: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes (or maybe), replay it again in your mind. If not, click “Next”.
Be like someone else (3 of 3)
From a first-person perspective
Close your eyes and replay it one last time, keeping everything exactly the same – but this time see it from a 1st-person perspective, as seen through the eyes.
You are doing the same
You are wanting the same
You are feeling the same
Again?
Test, “Reveal if I need to imagine it again: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes (or maybe), replay it again.
Keep it?
Test, “Reveal if I need to keep this: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, choose somewhere, then close your eyes and imagine putting it there.
Take a deep breath.
I then imagined taking that person’s place.
Imagine a scene
What’s this?
Sometimes we are so set in our ways that we can’t imagine things being any different. If we could consider a new possibility, it may open us up to new ways of thinking and acting. You’re going to imagine how things could have been, could be now, or could be in the future.
Past, present, or future?
Test, “Reveal which I’m looking at...”:
What to imagine?
It should realistic – something that really could occur in real life, and something that you want.
Think what that scene might look like. When you have something in mind, test, “Reveal if that’s correct: Yes, No, Maybe.”
When correct, close your eyes and imagine that scene until you feel you’ve had enough.
Test, “Reveal if that’s enough: Yes, No, Maybe.” If “Yes”, take a deep breath. If not enough, imagine it some more.
Type what you imagined below:
Keep it?
Test, “Reveal if I need to keep it: Yes, No, Maybe.” If yes, pick a place, then close your eyes and imagine putting it there. When done, open your eyes and take a deep breath.

The Feelings lists
Test, “Reveal which...”
These three lists show what feelings may be behind your issues. Including: what you believe you must feel (“I must be...”), what feeling you’ll get in exchange for being yourself or for being in your situation (“I will get...), or what you fear you might feel (“I fear...”).
I must be...
What’s this?
What must you be and feel? Something good that you really want? Something that you seek and would really help you if only you could be that way? Alternatively, is it something negative that your body feels is inevitable, like it’s your fate, or all you’re good for?
Test, “Reveal what I must be...”
I must be...
[[checked]]
I will get...
What’s this?
What will you feel in exchange for being the way you are, or for being in your situation? These two lists help you to understand what feeling you expect to get, and what you have felt before, for either being yourself or for experiencing your situation.
Positive or negative?
Test, “Reveal if I will get...”
I will get...
I will get a positive feeling
Test, “Reveal what I will feel...”
I will get to feel:
[[checked]]
I will get a negative feeling
Test, “Reveal what I will feel...”
I will get to feel...
[[checked]]
I fear...
What’s this?
What fear or worry is somehow connected to the issue you’re considering in this session? This list isn’t about common phobias, like being frightened of spiders or heights. It’s to show what fears or worries – both subtle and strong – are directing your personality.
Test, “Reveal what I fear...”
I fear...
[[checked]]
The Desires lists
Test, “Reveal which...”
These lists help identify desires that are either unhelpful, or are good but are causing pain by going unfulfilled. They list different desires (“I desire to be...”), why they may be there (“The purpose of my desire”), and describe their unhealthy nature (“Describe my desire”).
I desire to be...
What’s this?
A desire for something, perhaps something you have not considered, may be supporting your issue and preventing you from growing out of it. This technique helps you to find out what it, or they, may be.
Test, “Reveal what I desire to be...”
I desire to be...
[[checked]]
The purpose of my desire
What desire?
Think, which of my desires are we talking about?
When you’ve thought of a possibility, test, “Reveal if this is correct: Yes, No, Maybe.” If correct, type it below. If you don’t know it, just continue on anyway.
The purpose?
Test, “Reveal what is the purpose of my desire...”
How it feels
Test, “Reveal the important sentences...” and test each sentence while you read the below paragraph. Click to highlight each sentence your body chooses.
(Please select a description)
Using this is exactly what I require to maintain my life and bring it all together.
In fact, this is absolutely necessary!If I can use this for my own ends, there is surely no risk of my life going to pieces.
Actually, it does take some strength on my part to get this,but when I use this then I am fully assured that everything is all right.
This is something I oh-so desperately need!If I just had this, even for a moment, oh how it would be perfect!I would be so complete!
I can’t stand feeling bland frustration.Oh if only I had this!Everything would be so perfect, I would be renewed!
Sometimes I might tell myself I’m being selfless in this, but it’s not really true.Whatever it is, what I need is to have this provide a missing part of me — and it doesn’t concern me much what anyone else thinks.
How fulfilling it would be if I could be this way.Oh if only I could be this!Then I would be happy and I would be satisfied.If I am not this way, is my life worth living?What can I do?
I don’t know why I failed to be as this.I don’t believe I am, nor can I ever be, as I wish.Why even try?I’ve not been this way in the past.Why can’t I be what I want to be?
Whatever I need from this, I believe that if I don’t get it, I will be left with nothing.
This has complete power over me.My own feeling of contentment is entirely reliant upon this giving me what I need.I am at the mercy of this!
Thus I have no responsibility for it.All my personal responsibility has been handed over to whatever or whomever gives me what I need.
If for some reason it fails to give me what I need, then I am left with nothing!What on earth am I supposed to do then?

This is the opposite of what’s above. Test, “Reveal the important sentences...” and test each sentence while you read the reality below. Click each your body chooses.
(Please select a description)
I will only pay any attention to this for as long as I can get what I want out of it.
The truth is that I actually don’t really need to use this as glue to stick myself together.In fact, I never really needed to use this at all!
In reality, I already have within me everything I need to use.Within myself is, and always was, the true sources of strength to bring my life together.
Any of these things outside of myself are, in fact, inferior.With me are exactly the things I need to use.
This could never genuinely satisfy my need.It’s just a misperception.The missing part of myself which I was seeking, was really within me all along.Only what I already possess within me can genuinely satisfy my need.
I have no deficiency.Everything I require is already here, inside myself.Every part is present.I am complete.
What I believe I should be is actually not really special or remarkable.It’s actually ordinary and unremarkable.
What I can be, and perhaps what I already am, is just as “ordinary” and “unremarkable”.Inside I can be what I want to be, who I want to be, and I am capable of being anyone I wish.
Inside of me I already have everything required to be me.I am satisfied with what I can be inside myself.
What I believe this can provide me, was never really the best thing for me.
The best version, in fact, is only produced by me within myself.Only my own home-grown version of what I need is truly good enough.That’s far superior to anything it could give me.
Sure, whatever it is I need from this may be nice, but it’s not going to ultimately work.Only I can truly give myself the best version of what I need.

How it feels
Test, “Reveal the important sentences...” and test each sentence while you read the below paragraph. Click to highlight each sentence your body chooses.
(Please select a description)
I need this thing, right now, to survive!If I don’t get it, I don’t know what I'll do.If I don’t get it, or if I am denied it, what on earth will I be left with? Nothing!I need this, it’s essential!
Why shouldn't I get what I desire?I can reach out and get it from wherever I wish.I’ll be brazen and get what I want no matter what.
This is the thing I need!Without it, things will be very difficult.Everything else is second-place, this is top-priority!This is very important.I must pursue this because nothing else will work!
This is exquisite and unique, like a buried treasure!It is precious and magnificent!Oh, how this perfectly fits with exactly what I need!Without it, where would I be?I can’t even think about it!
Woe is me,I don’t have what I need and want.But I can see where I can get it!If I could only go and get it, then it would be so amazing, so incredible!Unfortunately, I could never really own it for myself.But I can try!
This isn’t about anything truly deep or meaningful.All it’s about is me getting what I want.That’s the only “meaningful” part of it.I desire this purely because I get to use it for myself.
The more this degrades, the more it provides me.The more I hurt myself, the more I get.The less worth I have, the better.Since I cannot own what I need, this desire will force me into it!
This is the only place I have to turn.There is no other option.Further, there is no way to resist.I am a mere robot or a puppet on strings.I cannot stop it.I am no longer responsible for my own actions.

I can see that in reality, I already have everything I need.Everything I ever needed was here within myself.Further, what I already have within me, is better than what I desired.Stepping back, I can see that what I desired was actually unnecessary.
I can calmly see that what I already have inside of me is sufficient.I appreciate how much I already have.I have no need to go looking elsewhere.There is nothing of more value anywhere else.I humbly appreciate that I already have everything I need.
I already have enough of what I need inside of myself.If I need more, I can manufacture it.Since I already have a sufficient supply of what I need, there is no urgency.I am free to pursue whatever I want.My desire was unnecessary.
I can clearly see that everything I ever needed was already inside of me all the time.What I thought my desire provided me with, was never really special.I believed it was special, but I now see that it’s unremarkable and ordinary.What I already have is perfect, and I already have exactly what I need.
I see that I was always able to own what I need.I already did own everything I need.I am complete, there is nothing else I require.Nothing else is needed, I already have it all.
I can see beyond the surface and see what I truly need, deep down.I fully appreciate and consider what I need.I can look deep down and clearly see who I am, and what I possess inside.What I need is already fully and truly satisfied by what I already have deep within myself.
I give myself dignity and respect.I honour and appreciate both myself and what I need.I can meet my own needs with what I already possess inside myself.I already have the best, the brightest, and the most noble versions of what I need.I am pure, full, and satisfied.
I have a sufficient supply of everything I need; I am not lacking.Therefore I am free to pursue whatever I want, I have no urgent need of any kind.I already have everything I need and can exercise full authority over myself.I am in charge of myself, not someone else, nor something else.I am self-sufficient.

Thoughts
Test, “Reveal which...”

Where I’m stuck
What’s this?
To change, we must all follow a process. You must first accept you have the issue at this time. Only then is it possible for you to admit it needs to change. Once you do that, you are finally able to allow it to change. This technique shows where you are stuck in this process.
Find out where you’re stuck
Test, “Reveal where I am stuck...’

Decisions I’ve made
What’s this?
We are not always victims of our circumstances. We often choose how to feel. The decisions we make can remain alive in the back of our minds, “pulling the strings” from “behind the scenes”. This technique helps bring these into the light where you can see them, and change them if desired.
What decision?
