 0.0 Introduction

Hello and welcome to the introduction for Healing Unworthiness, An 11-day Hyp-
notherapy Program. Before you dive into the course, I'd like to make a few recom-
mendations.

First, do the course as it's laid out, from day 1 through day 11. What we'll be doing is
training your mind to work differently. So it takes so time to assimilate that into
your subconscious mind.

Also, if it’s possible, find someone else or a group of people, to take the course with.
Support is a huge component in healing fear. Find a friend, family member, or even
a coach to a to take the class with. Success tends to increase with support, so try not
to go it alone.

Also, don’t hesitate to reach out to other students on this platform. They may be able
to provide answers, insights and encouragement that are just beyond your reach.
Remember, they’re interested in the same thing you are, namely, improving the way
they feel about themselves and increasing their joy for living.

So thanks once again for your interest in this course. If you have questions, please
don’t hesitate to shoot them my way. I am also on your support team.

Best of luck and may you create the inner peace you so deeply desire! See you in
class!

1.2 The Importance of Deep Relaxation

Deep Relaxation is a crucial element to
healing unworthiness, when using medi-
tation techniques. When you're deeply
relaxed, the subconscious mind will open
up, exposing the subconscious emotional
influences we talked about earlier. Once
those emotions are exposed, they can be
safely and effortlessly released, using
numerous healing techniques.

If you are of the notion that your anxiety

is caused or influenced by past trauma,
and you think meditation may be the tool
to assist in your healing, then it's abso-
lutely imperative to learn and master the
initial step, which is deep relaxation.

The first thing to understand is that going

into a deeply relaxed state is a learned
skill. So, like anything else that is worth
learning, it takes practice. It takes com-
mitment. It takes discipline.

2
Now, with that said, let me remind you that the discipline of learning how to relax
deeply is a very pleasant discipline. It feels great. So setting time aside to do it is
something to look forward to.

Now, let's ask a few important questions about deep relaxation and meditation.

1.3 Learning to Enter a Meditative State

How often should I meditate?
If you're just starting out, I highly recommend doing at least one day. For most peo-
ple, the most convenient times are first thing in the morning, or just before going to
bed in the evening. I meditate every evening for about 15 minutes or so, just before
going to bed.

Also, if you're starting out, I suggest using some type of guided meditation audio or
video, such as the meditations in this course. It's much easier when someone guides
you through the process. Plus, the results tend to be much more noticeable and sig-
nificant, with the help of a guide.

3
What are some of the benefits of deep relaxation?
As you progress and develop in your own meditation practice, relaxation will start
to become part of your subconscious. That means relaxation will become interwoven
into the fabric of your being.

When that happens you'll be able to enter a relaxed state at will—when you're in the
shower, driving your car, during breaks at work, or even in the middle of a challeng-
ing conversation.

Another way to say it is: learning to relax will reduce your overall level of stress.
And that may be extremely beneficial, if the anxiety you are experiencing is trig-
gered by stress. Also, as you master the art of deep relaxation, the techniques offered
in this course will become much more effective.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, there are numerous documented health benefits associ-
ated with deep relaxation, above and beyond alleviating anxiety.

In the following relaxation exercise, we'll be using a technique referred to as Pro-

gressive Relaxation. It's a simple guided meditation, directing you to relax your en-
tire body.
Use this meditation regularly and start opening the channels of deep relaxation.

Understanding Unworthiness & Emotions

2.2 Understanding Unworthiness

Feelings of Unworthiness or Not Being Good Enough effects the lives of millions of
people throughout all cultures. They're created in the past and can have a significant
negative impact on living your god-given life potential.

Those feelings can really bog your down. And almost all of us get a taste of it.

The reason is, is because no one gets

enough love. It's just not possible.
That's because we enter this world
completely dependent on someone else
—physically and emotionally, 24 hours
a day, seven days a week.

There hasn't been one set of parents

throughout human history who have
had the ability to satisfy the insatiable
needs of an infant. It literally takes a vil-
lage to raise a child. Add another kid or two into the mix and forget about it.

We all grow up competing for love and attention and we'll do anything to get it.
We'll be perfect, troublesome, depressed, sick, hurt, or even a superstar. If you add
some parental neglect or abuse, it can produce some very deep seated pain, that we
can carry with us into our adult lives.

Unworthiness can be expressed in a variety of ways but tends to gravitate into two
extremes—over and underachieving. How it's expressed isn't just limited to our jobs
and careers. It can show up and have an affect in our relationships and our health.

5
The underlying message in both of these cases is the same, which is, 'I'm not good
enough'.

Take a moment to reflect. Can you feel feelings of unworthiness or not being good
enough? If so, where do you feel it in your body? If you could put a word or two on
this feeling, what would you call it?

Remember this feeling because we will come back to later it in the contemplation
and meditations that follow.

We'll be using two techniques to heal feelings of unworthiness. The first technique
will be to release the feelings of unworthiness from your past. The second technique
will help you remember the amazing truth of who you really are.

2.3 Understanding Emotions

Anyone who has experienced genuine
unworthiness or feelings of not being
good enough knows how deep those feel-
ings can run. The can be so deep they
prevent you from living the life you were
born to live.

So as we begin the pursuit of healing

these feelings completely, we'll be going
deep into the subconscious mind, to re-
lease unwanted emotions buried in your
past. To grasp the concept of what we'll
be doing more fully, let's start with a dis-
cussion about the nature of emotion.

There are four main points to under-

stand.

First: Emotions are born to be experienced.

Human beings are designed for growth
and to experience life to the fullest. That
includes all of our emotions. Pain, jealousy, anger, enthusiasm, joy, contentment,
unworthiness, etc., are all part of the human experience.

6
Look at small child who drops its ice cream cone on the sidewall. A few moments of
intense agony are guaranteed. However, in a few minutes, after the emotion has
been experienced, the tears dry and the child is back to experiencing life in the mo-
ment.

When emotions are experienced fully, they dissipate. The problem arises when we
avoid experiencing unpleasant emotions. We essentially put them in the closet to re-
emerge at a later date…and they do—sometimes with vigor.

How many of us know someone who has gone from relationship to relationship ex-
periencing the same problems? How about the person who avoids conflict with au-
thority to the point of becoming seriously ill? Our how about someone who feels a
sense of low self-worth to the point of being able to live up to their full potential.?
They’re all avoiding unpleasant feelings. We’ve all done it. In fact, it’s a natural re-
sponse.

Second: Unexperienced trigger emotions get suppressed into the subconscious mind, with-
out conscious knowledge or intention on our part.

That means we don’t know we’re doing it. When that happens, they get stuck inside
of us. In layman’s terms, it’s commonly referred to as ‘stuffing your emotions’.

Third: Suppressed trigger emotions create

repeating patterns of pain.
When emotions from the past get
trapped inside the subconscious mind,
they’ll continue to re-create uncomfort-
able circumstances, so the trigger emo-
tions can eventually be experienced.
Emotions want to live out their life cy-
cle. However, if we keep stuffing them
down, repeating patterns can last a life-
time.

In regard to unworthiness, repeating feelings of not being good enough may come
up over and over again to sabotage our relationships, our careers, or worse yet, keep
us from even trying in the first place.

7
Fourth: Trigger emotions are your creation.
Even though they may have been created long ago, in difficult or even abusive situa-
tions with someone else, the emotions living inside of you are now yours and yours
alone. It may seem unfair, but that’s how it works for everyone.

Therefore, suppressed emotions from the past are never about the other person. You
can’t blame someone else for your problems. They are your creation and experience
only. Other people who trigger your unresolved emotions are only props in your
own one person drama.

So let’s briefly recap this lecture.

1. Unpleasant suppressed emotions, like unworthiness, can underlie real life prob-
lems.
2. Those emotions can get trapped inside of us.
3. Suppressed emotions cause repeating patterns of pain.
4. Suppressed emotions are yours to deal with.

3.2 How To Use the Contemplation

The exercise following this lecture is a contemplation to help you see unworthiness
from a new perspective. Hopefully, it will help you reflect and perhaps shift your
perception on your experience and relationship with anxiety. However, the contem-
plation differs slightly from the meditations, so allow me to explain.

First off, the contemplation can be done

with your eyes open or closed, which
ever is most comfortable for you. Then,
the contemplation will lead you through
a series of questions to help gain deeper
insight to your situation.

Please keep in mind that the questions

are not designed for you to think and ra-
tionally figure out solutions to problems.
Instead, there are inquiries thrown out to
the Universe in a state of relaxation.
When your mind is calm, Wisdom will
provide answers and insights you may
have not considered before.

You may have insights of clarity, or intu-

itive perceptions, known as 'aha' mo-
ments. Or perhaps you will may trigger
healing sensations of energy in your
body. Your only job will be to relax, pay
attention, and allow the process to unfold.

9
If you do experience moments of insight, awareness, or healing, it's a clear indication
that contemplation is a technique that works for you, If that's the case, keep using it
regularly.

Once you've mastered the contemplation, you'll be primed and ready for the deeper
meditations that follow in the course.

4.2 The Flower Technique

I’ve use The Flower Technique count-
less times in my one-on-one sessions.
It’s not un common for my clients to
notice immediate shifts afterward.
Here’s how it works.

While you’re deeply relaxed and fo-

cusing on your emotional trigger,
you’ll imagine a beautiful flower hov-
ering above you. You’ll allow it to be
big and powerful, so you can actually
feel its presence in front of you. Then,
you’ll recognize that the flower has
enormous healing powers and actual-
ly pulls emotional triggers out of your
body.

At this point, you don’t have to do

anything. Let the flower do all the
work, by pulling the emotion out of
your body. Then, keep your relaxed
focus on the process until it’s finished.

2. Journal and/or reflect on your experiences over Days 8-9.

5.2 Age Regression

It’s not always necessary but there are times when finding the root cause to a prob-
lem can produce enormous therapeutic benefit. Age Regression is a detective’s ap-
proach to underlying emotions related to anxiety. It requires a bit of digging around
but can be an extremely effective tool.

We’ll start by relaxing deeply. When you’ve identified your emotion of interest,
you’ll imagine yourself going back in time to the first time you experienced it. If
nothing comes, then just pretend. When you get there, we’ll ask the question, “Is this
a new feeling or a familiar feeling I’ve felt before?” Trust your answer.

If the answer is, “I’ve felt it before”, we’ll

continue to go back in time. We’ll repeat
the process until the answer is, “This feel-
ing is new”.

You may end up somewhere you never

expected, like in your crib, your mother’s
womb, or someplace that makes no sense.
Don’t worry about the details, just trust
the process.

Once we’ve identified the initial event,

we’ll simply release the emotion and allow it to dissolve into the past. Then, we’ll
continue to relax and observe the emotion, until it is gone.

Day 11
1. Do the Meditation - Self-acceptance.
2. Journal and/or reflect on your experiences over Days 10-11.
3. Do the following assignment, The Verification Sheet.

6.2 Self-acceptance
In my private sessions, this technique is one of the most profound and transforma-
tive techniques I've ever used, because it allows the client to completely reframe
their perception of themself.

First, we'll deeply relax. Then you'll recall everything you don't like about yourself
and see them for what they are…namely expressions of divine energy. Then we'll
dissolve them into your body, as you realize a divine truth, 'You are perfect as you
are'. The experience can be quite moving.

1. Watch the lecture - The Verification Sheet
2. Do Assignment #1 - The Verification Sheet

7.2 The Verification Sheet

The work we’re doing in this course can have a very powerful and positive effect not
only on your body but also on your subconscious mind. There's a cause and effect
component to it. If your intention is to heal something, and then you put some effort
into it, chances are, healing will occur. It’s not rocket science.

In this course, it’s been our goal to help you lose weight. Hopefully, that has hap-
pened.

And even better, as you work along, you may notice that certain aspects of your life
improve, over and above what we actually work on. These are referred to as side
benefits and they’re very common in meditative healing.

For example, someone I work with may come to see me with relationship struggles,
and as our work together progresses, they may notice a boost in their creative work
as an artist. Or another person working on health issues may have an unexpected
financial windfall.

In order to increase your overall level of awareness, I’ve created a Verification Sheet.
It’s on the next page.

Pull it out once a week, while you’re using the meditations and see if you can check
off any of the boxes. If you can, it’s a clear indication that what we’re doing is actual-
ly working.
