A Look Inside Binge Behavior - Regressing & Future Pacing Healthy Behaviors

When working to manage binge behaviors, it’s important to work on your time-line. This gives you the opportunity to reprogram past, as well as present behaviors & to future-pace future behaviors… Elizabeth Bohorquez, RN, C.Ht

Going back on the time line is called regression. This type of regression has nothing to do with past life experiences. Every time you look at old pictures you are practicing regression. Sometimes we don’t like looking at ourselves in certain periods of our life and that is fine, although it is always good to know why you feel this way. Perhaps it is an area that needs some emotional healing and it would be a good opportunity to work with a therapist in conjunction with this work. All of the Interactive Awareness and Self-Hypnosis tools you are learning can benefit therapy sessions. Be sure to tell your therapist about your new skills so he/she can design therapy work to coincide with your personal development work..

When you practice regression it is important to go back in time as a mature adult and not in the mind and body of the child. This way you are always in control and in command of the situation, giving you the opportunity to collect power resources from past experiences, and also to bring "healing gifts" to your inner children, or earlier adults living on the time-line. You met up with some of them in your earlier assessment. You might like to return to that area of the book to see if there are particular moments in time that stand out as good places to begin your regression work and especially if they house information related to your sugar addiction or eating disorder.

MIND EXERCISE

Relax deeply, making certain you will not be disturbed. Allow yourself to sink into the chair where you are resting and tilt your eyes up. After reading this exercise, close your eyes gently and bring the wide screen television onto your mind screen. Notice where all the past video tapes are kept, as well as the future ones. For now you will work with the past tapes. Choose one about yesterday and place it in the VCR slot. Push play on the controls and observe the screen. You can play it with sound or without. Notice if you are alone or with someone. What is the subject of the scene on the screen? Notice the emotions that are present. Their names are on their tee shirts. Are they helpful or are they disturbing? Look for the door that leads to the playground, knowing you are in charge and can ask any of them to go and lighten up.

You are the writer/director/producer of this program. Even though it is in the past, you can re-program it and actually change the perception chemicals that are stored on the memory. Go ahead and review this a bit further, making certain all parts are how you like it. Now…. Make it even better. Clear the screen and open your eyes slowly, allowing yourself time to adjust back.

Pierce: My mind always wanders when I do this work. How can I stay more focused? What happens to the suggestions I place on the screen before my mind wanders? Are they diluted in some way, or have I lost them completely?

Most of us have wandering minds, but that does not mean that subconscious mind work cannot be successful. Pierce will come to learn that desire is key to success. The more one wants something, the more likely it is to appear. So if a focused mind state is your goal, let your subconscious mind know this throughout your day. Earlier in this book you learned about “banking” and “fractionation.” This is a perfect time to plant your hotly desired goals! The suggestions on the mind screen can easily be put back in place each time you notice that your mind has wandered. This repetitive exercise will actually benefit the image by etching it further into the subconscious mind. It’s rather like someone telling you something over and over. After a while you know what they are going to say even before they say it and the same holds true for subconscious mind etching. Images or goals are only lost if you want them to be.
