Vibes Entry #2
Did you do your cycles of Amygdala and Releasing? What did you experience?
-
Today I did three playthroughs of the Amygdala track. Fortunately, I had a really good night’s sleep, so I’m feeling energized and enthusiastic. The collapsing I did during the first and second listen were productive, and I felt great throughout, so I opted for a third listen.
-
The third listen is when I had responses similar to the past few days – specifically past difficult memories coming up somewhat randomly – but I already feel as if the past few days of releasing with the field has given me a thicker skin.
Did you do your Candle Exercise? How did you find it/Is it getting easier?
-
I started the morning off with a little over ten minutes of the focus/candle exercise (as opposed to twenty or fifteen minutes like before), but the experience went smoother than the last two attempts. It was a great way to start off the day – letting the thoughts go rather than to be attached to them – and at the end of the ten minutes I felt like I could have continued focusing solely on the candle! I’m thinking of doing another ten-twenty minutes tonight to calm my thoughts and strengthen my focus before bed.
-
Much of the focus on the flame itself has been in the ways it subtly moves/dances, the color (parts that are transparent vs more opaque), and the ways the wax of the candle pools.
Did you run cycles on your Goal Releasing? What did you experience?
-
So far today I’ve run five cycles on my ‘security’ goal, and I’m starting to pinpoint exactly where the bulk of the releasing needs to take place. I’ve been mentally keeping track of where the HPPv2 releasing takes me, but later today I intend to write down the specific trajectory the clearing has taken so far.
-
With HPPv2, engaging with the feeling of love is now near instantaneous. I can hold the feeling pretty consistently (at least in comparison to my focus during the candle experience) and I think that might be because I’m not using sight when I clear. I am excited to see how my focus enhances overall with both this exercise and the candle exercise, since they work through ultimately different modalities, despite both requiring directed attention. The physical sensations of HPPv2 so far have included warmth throughout my body and chest, relaxation of my shoulders, and a light-moderate buzzing, depending on how deep my focus is.
Did you end your tasks with giving yourself Love? Did you give yourself that feeling throughout the day? How do you feel overall?
-
I have ended all tasks with giving myself love, as well as throughout last night and today thus far. When out buying groceries, I noticed how much my confidence solidifies when I focus on love, and others appear to pick up on it as well. I’m far more likely to engage in conversation and crack jokes because ultimately I’m feeling more relaxed in those situations.
-
I’m feeling very grateful, very blessed, encouraged, and productive. Excited to see where the rest of the day takes me!
