IEMT & Me

Not Recommended When Driving

I was driving to the office one day when my brain went to visit the recent past and it retrieved some annoying memory about a young woman I knew and her annoying behaviour and communication over the recent weeks. I ranted to myself at the memory of her actions and experienced tightening in my stomach. Then I checked myself and began the following conversation with myself.

'What are you doing? why are you so cross? who is actually doing this to you? Is she doing it? are you doing it or am I doing it? 

The answers were of course that I was doing it to myself up. I was making myself cross with my own thoughts and the emotions I was experiencing were generated by my own body.

I was feeling my thinking!

I sarcastically asked myself if this young woman knew how much power she had over me! I challenged myself to pick up the phone and tell her about it. Then I wondered what she might actually be doing at 8 in the morning and the answers were many but the most important one was that she most likely was not thinking about me or the event that was currently annoying me.

At this point I realised that her words and behaviour were nothing to do with me, they were not said to cause me upset, distress or annoyance and that how I felt was a result of my interpretation of the experience. 

As I pulled up at the red traffic lights I remembered that I have the tools to change this and so I did a really quick kinaesthetic pattern on myself.  As I pulled away from the now green light, I recognised that there was something about this situation that was right in front of me so imagistically I picked it up with my right hand and tossed it into the bush over my left shoulder where it became left behind. 

From that day to this I have no memory of the original events no memory of the feelings and have a fabulous relationship with the young woman.
