Two weeks ago I asked my daughter if, instead of "good for you" and "bad for you" she wanted to try asking her body what it truly needed and eating that, as well as that amount. Audrey says that it may take a few weeks for her body to stop reacting to the earlier judgments by choosing cookies most of the time, and to truly feel what it needs. She says she closes her eyes and then whatever she sees, that's what her body is choosing. I'm thinking of teaching her the "hold this at your sternum and ask it and see which way you lean". I plan to tell her that if her body really desires something other than a cookie, no doubt that thing will taste better than the cookie. I plan to move things out of her and my sight, because we often forget to ask "who does this belong to" and often it may belong to the movie we watched that reminded us of the food we now want, or the fact that we saw it on the counter, not what we truly want.
For my back pain: Who does this belong to? Is it mine, someone else's or something else's. If it's mine or persists: "Thank you body for the awareness, what do you require of me? I am willing to do my best to fulfill. Now what will it take to dissipate this awareness?"
I've been doing lots of "Cellular Memory, POC turn." That seems to work better than MTVSS.
It's so hard to talk in Access Classes because almost everything you say, they tell you to use different words and it's so hard to remember. I often have to say "I don't know how to say this except directly, you can help me with wording later." But "want" and "but" are such an integral part of our language, and so taboo in Access.
