How do I know if I have a problem and how big it is?

I've forgotten where we were dowsing, though I can 'see' that place in my mind's eye.

How do I know if I have a problem and how big it is?
M'reen Hunt

There are many ways to find out if you have a concern or the answer to a question

and I shall describe four; one of which I cannot do.

Dowsers, kinesiologists and a good number of others might insist on pre questions or procedures but I don’t have time to itemise those here; so we’ll just ‘go for it’ or you could put your Magnificent Self 

in charge; this is an Energetic – NLP term meaning the combination of your Inner Wisdom which is based in your day to day reality with your Spirit which has an overview of your life’s big picture.

Why might you want to do this?

In Turbo Charged Reading we use purpose to set the course for success

and mind instructions to direct the innermind in the type of success wanted at that time.

If you do not believe that these are attainable for you

then your subconscious gremlins will delight in ensuring that subconscious belief.

Stand up and say to yourself ‘I am (10 or so years younger than your age)’

then ‘I’m (the age you are)’. What do you feel? What happened? Nothing?

Now tell yourself that you’ll lean backwards if your answer is ‘No’ and forward if your answer is ‘Yes’.

It’s always useful for your subconscious to know what is expected of it so that it can respond appropriately. There are reasons why ‘No’ is back, but not now.

Now ask yourself those questions again. Try ‘I’m a man’, ‘I’m a woman’, ‘I’m a child’ and anything else you care to find a ‘yes’, ‘no’ answer for or if you remain static then that counts as a response that says ‘I’m not sure / I’m not ready to answer yet’. Should you remain static between man and woman it may mean that you are nicely balanced between the masculine and feminine, or balanced between adult and child so ask, 'is my current front door black?'. 

What can you use this for? Examples could be: ‘is it helpful for my health / diet for me to eat cabbage’? Cabbage is a wonderful and very beneficial vegetable but too much of it can be too much for certain people / conditions. You may used these methods to discover food sensitivities particularly as our metabolism changes at points in our life and health; even during the day

as our food intake changes.

However, it is wise to remember that Midas knew exactly what he intended and he received exactly what he asked for! So you need a mind sharper than any lawyer and if your mind is not that sharp why not try asking a checking question?

Touch your thumb tip to your index finger tip and link your other thumb and index finger so that you now have a chain. Now ask ‘give me yes’ please’ and repeatedly gently pull your circles apart

and eventually after a few pulls you will find that one circle will break. Now ask, ‘give me No please’

and gently pull your circles apart a few times and the opposite circle will break.

I know a prospective Deacon of a church take her multi-choice exam using this method!

I am aware of a therapist who uses this to decide the best time for a client’s next appointment.

This one I’m not sure about because I thought that time is elastic and therefore things can change but another argument is that time is not linear. 

However, unfortunately, these dowsing or energy testing techniques cannot be used for finding 

the winning lottery numbers. – There is always a catch isn’t there!

Imagine that you can see traffic lights. It is easier if you close your eyes until you get the hang 

of this next one. Red means ‘no’ or ‘stop’, amber means ‘I’m not sure / I’m not ready to answer yet’ and green means ‘yes’ or ‘go’. You could ask if you believe an affirmation because if you don’t then the affirmation is counter productive for you. You could ask if your purpose for a project is in keeping with your overall life needs, or if your purpose is sufficiently specific. In Turbo Charged Reading we use both Purpose and Affirmations (as mind Instructions - thee is a difference )as the driving force to the process; though when I used to forget to use the affirmations it worked well anyway but since I like as much on my side as possible

I use affirmations and check that they are compatible with my beliefs about my abilities

or self confidence / esteem.

Finally, try dowsing with a pendulum. Much to the disgust of a friend I use anything that will act

as a plum bob such as a shoulder bag, a trainer dangling from a lace, a dangly necklace, etc.

Ask your pendulum to give you ‘yes’ then ask for ‘no’. For me ‘yes’ is a clockwise circle and ‘no’

is anti-clockwise; however some people have up and down for ‘yes’ and across for ‘no’.

I asked if I could physically achieve …… and received a ‘yes’. I then asked if I believed that I could achieve …. I received a ‘No’!!! This is because it is perfectly logical that a spider treated with respect

is not going to hurt you but do you believe this? A person with arachnid phobia will not believe.

Here it is useful to note that Carl G. Jung said that every man is born prejudice towards himself

and that he couldn’t use the I Ching because he had a vested interest in the outcome.

What is happening and why? And why do these techniques work?

As you found if you don’t set up the signals for yes and no then, generally, nothing happens.

If you hung a pendulum on a door knob and asked the same questions then nothing would happen.

That you get the answer to the question you actually ask your subconscious mind;

but importantly you may not be aware or cannot be aware with your current conscious knowledge

that there is an alternative question.

These responses are rather like a thermometer, a Geiger counter, a second hand or anything else that amplifies a signal so that it can be appreciated and measured.

We amplify our inner vibes or knowings and we can also amplify what we energetically perceive

in others and this generates the response of the technique we are using.

Even though you can’t actually see it you are swinging the pendulum as you are reacting 

to the energy of your own knowings or your energetic perception of the other person.

Sometimes the ‘handles’ of dowsing rods are in cylinders so that it is impossible for you to affect 

their direction. The dowsing rods are reacting to the energy of the ley lines etc that are travelling through you in much the same way as a weather cock reacts to the wind.

For example I dowsed where the dragon and dragona ley lines crossed in Thetford Uk,

as I was standing on this junction a friend then said, ‘close your eyes’ and I rocked rather dramatically as the energy wooshed up through my body!

Are we all equally sensitive and can we all ‘do’ this?

We all have the potential but like everything else it is easier for some than it is for others.

Also, some people can work with one sort of energy and not with another, or poorly with another.

At teacher training college we had a Galvonic Skin Bridge, this was an elementary lie detector

that measured the skin sweat or temperature – I forget which. With one guy we tried our dirtiest tricks but we couldn’t get anything but a flat line, with another we had to pull out all the stops

to get a small blip and when one girl agreed that the blue pencil was red and it went haywire.

For myself I couldn’t achieve a straight line so no one could find my truth or lie; though when

I trained as a hypnotherapist one guy knew every time I lied because I clench my teeth when I lie. Therefore we are all sending out energy or vibes and sometimes we can be aware of our own energies or the energies of others. Time and distance make no difference to people who are adept

at perceiving energy and transmitting energy. I just thought I‘d throw all that in for good measure.

What to do now that you have identified an issue?

Well you could check out my other articles on how to resolve issues or you could try the psychological reversal TFT or EFT tapping point as we do with Turbo Charged Reading as then we are not ‘doing therapy’ we are simply finding if the purpose and mind instructions are positive for that time.

To do this find the karate chop point at the side of your hand, that is the pad below your little finger and above your wrist and having found this tap it a few times with the finger tips of your other hand. When I tried this with my negative belief in my physical potential I got a neutral position with the pendulum, an amber traffic light or the stationary position when standing.

I then tapped a few more times before I received the positive response that I now believed

it is possible for me to achieve ….. On re-checking this a few days later

I still maintained a positive belief – I’ll keep you posted. Yes, I achieved with the help of a professional.

The neutral position, can you be more specific?

Neutral can mean that you are not ready to move yet and this would be worked with therapeutically

as would being somewhat stuck. With Turbo Charged Reading we are not in a therapeutic situation

and would simply use a different acceptable purpose of mind instruction or treat the neutral position

simply as just a point on a scale that we want to get into the positive range.

How do you find the 1 to 10 scale people ask for when trying to gauge how distressing an issue is and whether or not it has cleared up?

This, not surprisingly, is called a S.U.D. that is a Subjective Unit of Distress.

Imagine a thermometer, a fuel gauge or ask for a number (that may flash) or if you are like me you just take a wild guess. Actually there is nothing ‘wild’ about these guesses it’s just that I don’t ‘see’ 

nor am I consciously aware of these figures so I just have to trust my subconscious mind to come up with the right figure.

For example take a phobia and for me, as a therapist, they come as a five minute phobia cure,

a twenty minute phobia healing or it may take a few sessions in order to resolve the issue.

When using a SUD the person generally sets off with a high number which reduces however some people allow the second time of asking for the number to rise and this simply means that they are allowing themselves to feel the ‘fear’ more accurately and so they are making admirable progress.

Keep tapping or using the method of your choice until your number comes down to a level that is reasonable with whatever is happening in your life at this time. So while 1 or 2 or even 0 is desirable 

it might not be practical when taking all your other considerations into account.

Or your issue might be such that to release it all now might be far too uncomfortable

and so it is healthier for you to release a little bit now and a little more later on or in a day or so.

Spitting feathers angry!!!!!!!!!!

Spitting feathers angry!!!!!!!!!!

M’reen Hunt (c) 

I was angry, so very, very, very  angry that words cannot describe how angry I was.

First some essential background.

I have a qualification in Dream Work and some famous author (it was a long time ago) dreamt 

that she was at dinner and that she hated with a passion the woman sat opposite to her.

She then realised that the woman was herself and that this was a dream.

With that realisation she knew that she could not physically hurt the woman opposite

she proceeded to beat her up reducing that part of herself to a mangled pulp.

As a counsellor; in ‘real’ life with such passion it may be suggested that a person take a Stanley knife and slash a photo to pieces as the person photographed cannot be injured.

As a hypnotherapist I may arrange that the offending person can be required to sit and listen

while the aggrieved can shout, kick, scream and physically beat up as much as they wish.

One client used to put offending people through a giant paper shredded on the beach. 

I often wondered how she managed when she met them later that day in the pub! 

The person required to sit and listen, often a parent, is usually shocked at the hurt

they have inflicted on their loved child and offer an explanation as to why and they then

beg forgiveness which is generally accepted. ‘Generally’ requires just a little more work.

Forgiveness does not mean condoning the action;

it means you letting go of the effect those actions previously had on your well being.

Back to my very deep anger.

Now I would deal with such anger in a different way

but all those years ago I used the skills I then had .

I forget my first foray. During my second piece of trance work (thinking of the picture) I really wanted to slash my former husband with a large shard of greenish glass. I wanted to cut him to miniscule shreds. But.  My goody two shoes self wouldn’t let me!!!!! This gremlin kept arguing that he 

was the best person he could be. (Thinking of the dream) I thought ‘just let me get him’!

No! You can’t. You are a nice person, nice people understand – and all that rubbish!

This argument went on for quite some time.

In the end I contented myself with putting him in a large skip and burying him with tons

of broken shards of ¼ to ½ inch thick glass. (Warning – DO NOT mess with mama bear!)

The next time I was simply far too angry to work with myself; so I took my issue to a fellow hypnotherapist who worked with my specific type of anger using TFT. This seemed to satisfy me.

However, a few years later I decided to make sure when working with a pair of Shaman.

Although my former husband had never physically abused me (in this life) I asked that any issues involving abuse were cleared. I don’t ‘see’ or ‘experience’ much when working with the Shaman,

just enough to be involved with the process. He or was it she journeyed for me hundreds of years ago to a severely abusive relationship where I was battered so much that I was unable to have children 

(I have three). The situation was that there was no point in running away as there was no way 

to support myself. But my former self had the guts to run away (good girl) but was unfortunately dragged back. I experienced myself as being dragged back by my long brown hair

however the Shaman said that it was long and black.

Six months later at the encouragement of our son, my former husband rang to say that he was sorry.

For myself, I admired his ability to contact me, but for me there was nothing to forgive.

Grow to Accept People as they Really Are.

Grow to Accept People as they Really Are.

M'reen Hunt (c) 

Midnight thoughts without the wine!

‘Grow to accept people as they are and not as you need them to be’ was the thought that concluded 

my midnight oil musings as my mind’s eye had envisioned a partially formed shell person atop

a mound of cardboard cut out idealistic others.

Earlier I’d read a variation of the advice to surround oneself with people who love and support us, 

with those who are filled with joy and light; the converse being to avoid all others?

I understand the concept but wonder; would I like you as a friend?

Possibly not if that was all you were capable of being.

What about growing in the ability to appreciate and return a hundredfold the limited love a parent 

or lover is able offer to you, just because you are you?

The memory of hugging a stranger in the street as they cried after feeling you were someone

they could trust and talk to for a few sentences before continuing with their life?

Are you able to enjoy the time someone can share with you between their being tired or ill

or continuing with their demons? The list goes on for it includes us all at times whether during the day or during periods of our life. I think we all need training wheels as we grow into finding the confidence within to be the person who loves and supports our own self esteem and that of others.

I think we all need the wind beneath our wings so that our joy and light shines through us and spills out to those around us and to be content with whom we are as we make today a holiday in the balance of life. Please find support in your journey to inner calm using the resources on my home page at http://www.innermindreading.com. Look under the aeroplane and find:

Kinesiology – I’m a great fan. Art and Rudy, energy therapists who’s free sessions I actively use. 

Faster EFT – a tapping therapy. Or Inner Mind Read all the self help books you can find in the library; the effect of which is rather like your hair slowly growing as you naturally change

to become closer to the peace and joy that just radiates from the Dalia Lama.
