Hi Mary Lou, First of all, this post is NOT about " part II " . That's a different subject. Here I'll go over some of what you are talking about. And it depends on the definition of 'positive'. It's the way people think that is productive or non-productive. Taking an expression like, " they can do it but not me " , is not very beneficial. Saying, " I failed at X " is not very productive, especially when they unconsciously stack all the non-productive times, comparing them with other times they were non-productive. That type of comparison builds negative thought forms, and as long as you keep them strong and power, it's hard to by-pass them. The comparison is incorrect, and that comparision done with other non-productive occurances only increases the problem. And, here's the good news. If all that they do is goal orientated, and then what they experience is compared with THEIR GOAL (not their non-productiveness)as FEEDBACK to where they want to go, then they can easily adjust their behavior directly towards that GOAL. Then all behavior is now positive feedback, NOT failure. Sort of like an airplane flying from Los Angeles to New York. It's off course most of the time...but because of the piolet constantly calibrating with where he wants to land, he eventually gets there. And the more practice the better his results of getting his goal becomes. He knows what he wants. He has a method of getting there (knows how to fly and has an airplane), and he can calibrate where he is in respect to where he's going. >Yet when things seem to be of our control and out of one's " area of >expertise " , it's not that hard to get down about it. Yes, like I stated above. What you are mentioning is the second area, " knowing the specific how-to " . This is the area of 'capabilities'. When you've got the 'want to', have the 'opportunity to', and you are ready to 'take action', but don't have the 'how-to' (capabilities), frustration comes quick and easy. >I've been struggling with knee injuries and misalignments for the >past 1 1/2 years. First it was one, and now the other. Sometimes >it's hard to keep going when you take one step forward and two back >and everything is on hold. It can take the wind right out of your >sails. Yes, I've been there and done that. Knee operation. Broke my back at C2 about 8 years ago. Car accident about 9 months ago put my neck, upper-spine and left shoulder on hold. But, I know how to fix all of them, and they are all doing quite nicely. And it did take time, knowledge and persistance. Between Energy Medicine, NLP, Self-hypnosis, Energy Psychology, The Edgar Cayce remedies, and lots of persistence and study, they all work rather well... ....even to kicking young hot-shot black belts in the head at will, but that's another story. ....and I just lost 21 pounds in 28 days without dieting and only minor amounts of exercise. ....and I did it during the holidays while all around me were pigging out. (Now 'why' did I choose that time to do the drill to get the outcome I wanted?) ....BUT IT ALL TAKES AWHILE! It takes TIME! That tiny part of the healing equation is your 'expectancy', your belief and the specific how-to that you are currently doing. This belief is called the self-efficacy-expectation, which is your belief in you own effectiveness in doing something. If they don't believe they are going to do very well at (fill in the blank with anything, ie, healing, giving a speech, losing weight, stop smoking, etc), then their performance/behavior is going to stay at about the same level. And, without instant visible results disappointment sets in and their initial positive belief starts to drop. Sometimes it will go even lower than the original competency level. Bluntly, when most people reach a plateau, they take that as negative feedback that what they are doing is not working. Now the other lady was talking about depression and how she'd tried EFT and it stopped working after 3 days. So she got good results, but since they didn't remain she decided (installed a belief) that EFT didn't work for her, but it probably works for others, which is non-productive. I'll bet that all she needed to do was to tap out all the aspects she could fine. EFT is good for getting rid of depression, but if you have no goals that are positive to more towards, that depression is re-established. For example, there are about 40%, 50% of the population that visualize quite well but NEVER get the results they want. Even when they see clear pictures of themselves being successful. These people were studied and it was found out that AFTER they made the good pictures they had an unconscious tag end that went something like this; " I will never be able to do that. That is just an unrealistic expectation or false hope! " And that negative tag end will BLOW OUT any visualization technique! Why? Because it (the belief) is at a higher level of manifestation that 'capabilities' (the visualization) is. Any 'knowing how-to' (a capability) is not enough if the belief does not support it. In fact believing that one is going to fail will make the best techniques for success fail. Notice how Donna installs (I think consciously) the skills and the beliefs, and the values so that when people are in her presence, they have HOPE. So they'll do the drills because of her stories (metaphors about other people's healings), because of her skills at teaching (hands on demonstrations with IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK), THEN you learn those skills under the careful and guiding eyes of her and her trained assistants. Then there are the handouts, the books, the manuals, the videos, the cd's, the dvd's. All positive reinforcement to install positive beliefs about those skills. On another note, I know that with my own knee, while walking into the office with a friend, he stated to me, " Doc, does that knee hurt a lot? " My answer, " no " . His next question, " well, why are you limping so badly then? " And I asked myself this question, " if I could walk as if my knee was healed, then how specifically would I walk? " And I instantly walked that way. And my knee felt good then and still feels good now. Did I have to adapt some of my behaviors? Sure. That's called feedback. More later.
