"Emerging from the Black Hole"
By : Gabriel J. Alvarado
The condition of distress caused by a fairly long chain of failures makes limiting beliefs, sometimes hidden or dormant, emerge an act upon an individuals life causing a spiral down series of events that end up in the personal and social annulment of the person. Because of the progressive nature of these events the individual is not aware of the condition until a domino effect is triggered causing catastrophic consequences all at once, or unexpected undesirable situations appear dangerously and rhythmically one after another making life unbearable. This condition, in an advanced stage or most of the time untreated, is found mostly in men rather than woman probably because of cultural biases regarding the attention of non "physical" circumstances in the masculine population.
Getting out of this condition has been achieved performing the following intervention.
1. Do a relaxation session. It is not necessary to go to a deep state. (Escalator or Elman induction)
2. See yourself in front of you. That part of you will learn a new approach on how to handle criticism and achieve high self-appreciation. Detach from that self. Put that self on center of the stage of a big auditorium. You seat far away and watch
3. See that part of you in the stage. That self of you closes his eyes momentarily, takes a deep breath and start evoking criticisms he has received in the past from the people that sharply criticized him including himself. He notices from where their voices are heard: left or right. He places all this people seating in the first rows of the side of the auditorium from where he herd their criticizing voices.
4. He surrounds himself with a protective Plexiglas shield and continues watching and listening. The shield helps him remain neutral and resourceful. As he listen all the remarks they have to say, he is making a slide show of what the criticizers have said. What they mean? Does that self have all the information to make a clear and detailed picture? If No, let that self listen and gather more information until ready.
5. Once that self is ready let that self decide on a response. It could be in agreement or not, apologize, etc. It could be that self decides to take the received information and act differently next time. Let that self select a new behavior then and step into the show and feel how it is like to act that way.
6. If that self is satisfied with the new behavior, think if you want this new strategy for yourself. If No, let that self select another strategy more fit to you. If yes, continue.
7. Let that self remain on the stage and now with the eyes closed listen to a different group: people that loves you. They are sitting in the opposite side of the criticizing ones. Let that self’s awareness dissociates, jumps and sits among this loving people, hearing and feeling their positive thoughts of love and appreciation towards you. That group is a part of you that wants you to be successful, have more confidence, health, look better, etc. Let all this people fuse into one entity: a loving entity with a particular shape, color, sound and feeling.
8. Now let that self awareness jump back into that self, empowering it with all this new energy of positive and loving thoughts of appreciation.
9. That self, empowered with new views and behaviors towards criticisms and enriched with love, see now those criticizing persons, those that make you procrastinate and do not allow you to succeed, as a friendly part of you. A part that protects you from the pain of failure. Let that part transform into an entity, a protecting entity with a particular shape, color, sound, and feeling.
10. That understanding self now thanks the protecting part for the good job done, tells it that is fine to fail, to try, to risk, for the benefits are greater than the pain, that there is no need for pain. Then allows both parts to come together and fuse into a powerful one, taking each other capacities with abilities you did not have before.
11. Let that self at the center of the stage fuse with that powerful entity and come to you at the back of the auditorium and reuniting with you at the place where to feel love and belief. As it happens you feel a surge of energy inside, and you can feel that it becomes part of you. You feel all this new behaviors, energy, self-confidence, self-appreciation, good health are easily and readily available to you. Take a few moments to appreciate and enjoy your new acquired qualities.
12. Now, think of the specific times and places where you could and will use this new capacities and abilities.
