A Look Inside Anxiety & Panic Disorder - Working Your Time Line

When working with anxiety & panic disorder, as well as related addictions & behaviors, it is important to work directly with your time line, including your past, present & future for all are important to your progress in Self-Mastery.…Elizabeth Bohorquez, RN, C.Ht

Your subconscious mind is vast, but very organized. In our work we begin inside the subconscious mind or library of the mind. We work on a personal time line. This unique metaphor can be designed to meet your own belief system. If you believe in past life regression, you might have a time line that goes back many centuries, as well as forward through those yet to unfold. However, for the purpose of this article & my books & CD’s, time time-lines will be considered from the moment of birth, completing at death.

Take a piece of paper and simply draw a line. On one end place the word “birth” and on the other “death.” Somewhere on your line is this very moment, “the now.” Everything that happened before “now” is your past, and forward is your future. It’s a simple as that.

You are meandering on this time line each moment you are involved in talking or thinking about the past, the present, or the future. However most of these moments are on automatic pilot, not designed for specific goal achievement. As you begin to wake up to more of these, you might be surprised to find that instead of working towards your desired goals, such as managing disorderly eating or addictions, you are going towards them.

The time-line can offer tremendous value to our self-development and certainly to the goal of managing your current problems. Throughout my books & CD programs, participants are in contact with their personal time-line, even in the very first chapters and personal assessment. Here we will apply some additional exercises that will benefit all areas of your goal-den path.

KNOWLEDGE HOOK

Memories are stored in a very organized linear fashion on the time line, the past lined up in one direction and the future in another. For good management purposes it helps to know the direction of each. This is quite easy to do. Simply, think of a past event, perhaps what you had for breakfast this morning. Your eyes will go to the left or to the right. This is the direction of your past time line. Now think of where you are going to go later this afternoon. Your eyes will turn in the direction of your future time-line. For most people the past is to the left and the future to the right, but sometimes it is reversed. This isn’t anything to be concerned about. However, sometimes the past or future lines are behind or totally in front and in these positions can sometimes interfere with current thought processes or with gathering recourses.

People who have their past time lines in front are often lost in the past, having difficulty moving forward. On the other hand, if the past is positioned to the rear it is difficult to reach into the wealth of materials waiting to be gathered. Future time lines that are behind present problems for gathering resources. The old adage “out of sight, out of mind” helps us to understand what happens with a misplaced time-line. So while you don’t want to trip on your past or future, you do want to have them easily accessible.
