| How
many times have you thought about a bad habit or pattern of
thinking or behaving that you have that you don’t like, and
said to yourself, “Well, it’s always been like that in our family.
I know other people do it differently, but I just can’t seem
to do it.”
For
issues which are generational, sometimes the only way to clear
them up is to go back to the source. What we’re talking about
here is not going back and talking to your parents or grandparents
who may not be alive any more. But rather we’re talking
about your “internal parents”, your own perceptions of who
your parents are and what they mean to you.
When
we are very young (at least 7 years or younger) we are very
impressionable, have very little information to go on, and
take things very much to heart. As children we often,
in one area or another, take on our parents issues because
they are our role models. We cannot help but be influenced
by the challenges in our parents’ lives, or what we as children
perceived them to be.
Likewise,
our parents may have taken on some of their parents’ issues,
and so on, down the line.
For
some negative emotions and limiting decisions we have made
about ourselves and life in general, it is necessary to go
back several generations to find the root cause, the very
first event upon which all the other related events are based
on. This is done quickly, easily, and gently through
Time Line Therapy? and accessing the event through the unconscious
mind.
Once
the negative emotion around the first event has been released,
all subsequent events that were based in it necessarily have
to shift, and a new more empowering decision can be put in
its place.
The
effects of this gentle procedure are far reaching. As
an example, my husband had a heart attack 3 ½ years
ago and was in the hospital for a month before he could get
a triple by-pass. He was quite concerned about the operation,
because as long as he could remember, he couldn’t handle the
sight of blood. He would get very queasy.
The
odd thing was, he grew up on a farm and his family raised
beef. Every fall when it was time to butcher, my husband
didn’t like it, but it wasn’t until they had to saw off the
legs that he had to leave or would feel faint. This
seemed peculiar to me that it was only with the leg cutting
that he had such a strong reaction.
So,
he decided to have an NLP Master Practitioner come to the
hospital and help him locate the root cause of his aversion
to blood and operations. His unconscious mind took him
back to 1865. When he was looking down from above his
Time line to see what was happening down there, he saw a battle
field with an injured man having his leg amputated without
any anaesthetic.
To
release the negative emotion, he went a few days before the
event, and then his unconscious mind re-sorted and re-evaluated
all the other events based on it, all the way back to now.
The
whole family noticed a real shift in him after that.
He was calm, relaxed and confident and the operation went
as smoothly as it could for him and he recovered quickly.
(I’m the one who almost fainted when I saw his scar and all
the tubes in him after surgery!)
So
if you’ve tried a number of different approaches and haven’t
been successful, or if you’re just ready to try a new approach,
then Time Line Therapy? may be an avenue that can heal up
dilemmas and issues for you. It can, in a sense, help
you clean up your karma and move forward in your life.
