Hi,

I have been using the paraliminals for well over a week now and cannot get results.

I state my intention before hand but nothing helps.

What I am getting is consistent bad dreams.

Can anyone help.

Regards

Jay

It's not possible to comment because I don't know what you expect, what your intentions are, how you are using the Paraliminal, When you are using the Paraliminal or even why you are using the Paraliminal. For all I know you need to be working with different Paraliminal for this.

Perhaps you've mentioned it on another thread please don't expect us to search. It helps when you give some background when you write a new post.

If it's personal, send me an email.

Hi Alex,

I was using it for social phobia.

Beforehand i ask myself what is bothering me
about security guards, authoritive figures and social situations in general ie walking down the street and then i say to myself that these are the situations i wish to be more masterful over.

However having used the paraliminal for well over a week it is not working. All i am getting is an increase in bad dreams

Thanks

What is being Masterful in those situations for you? Can you be specific?

Your wording for me creates a battle in my mind like I have to overpower these people.

Paul asks you to to consider 'what physical and mental preparations you need to do to properly handle future events.'

With fear we often need to bluff our way to confidence. If you keep saying you want to "master" the situation will have difficulty. The mind is very literal and the word Master means to have authority over. You're creating a battle with these authority figures in your mind because you see them as your superiors and want to fight them down.

Rather focus on how you want to feel when you are around people who seem to have an authority over you. Perhaps its more cool, calm and collected when you are near these people. To be able to walk calmly by. To be anxiety free, when you happen to be around them. Having no more tension than necessary around these people and to behave in an appropriate fashion around them.

If you're having bad dreams stop listening to the Paraliminal for a couple of days and lighten the intensity of your intension. It seems you've taken too much on and if the dreams bother you, you need to lower the anxiety in stages. like starting with not feeling anxious when you think about these people. Next not feeling anxious about going past a guard. Then work on being okay with dentist.

BTW, you seem focused on the bad dreams but on a scale of one to ten how anxious are you when you see an authority figure like a guard?

Hi,

Has anyone else out there had difficulty in getting the paraliminals to work.

I just cannot get any results. Having used the same one for two weeks i have nearly given up.

On the bright side i still have my daily holosync meditations.

Hi! How about checking to see if there is anything in the "bad" dreams telling you anything you need to know about the phobia you have?

Even though I know very little about your situation, and this might or might not be what's happening for you, my guess would be that your bad dreams are increasing while using the anxiety-free tape, because your unconscious is being stimulated to talk to you, while your conscious mind is still "keeping the lid on" while you're awake regarding whatever issues or situations that are causing your fears.

How about doing the CD with an itntention of resolving the bad feelings from your latest dream first, and perhaps that would start unravelling the "thread"?

And, also when it comes to phobias and fears, I would check out the "recommended reading" section on Learning Strategies' website, where I found two books that I have read and found EXTREMELY fantastically (ok, enough superlatives...) helpful when it cones to daling with any kind of emotions: "The Sedona Method" by Hale Dwoskin, and "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie.

Hope you'll get through it!
:-)

I have also had problems with anxiety-free.. Until I start pushing myself into the situation where I was anxious and worked on with my anxiety-free... Like just only listening never really helped. What helped me was a combination to really go out and try to work with my anxiety and to listen to it too... both.. But in the beginning I could not get myself to do the action, because I felt anxiety, so I used it with Get around to it and Automatic Pilot.. That really gave me a drive for going out and conquering my anxiety for that specific reason.. My reason was that I had some big fears approaching women... So I just start listening to anxiety-free.. but I still never went out to approach women, like my anxiety never was gone.. So I used Get Around to it, and my workprogress started.. Started to listen to side A of Get Around to it: My project was to go out and approach girls with a "Hi" and then go by... Small steps, you should take that too.. Choose a step you feel you could do but still feel some anxiety doing.. Listen to Get around to it for that.. And Anxiety-free.. Go out and do it, and do it often, untill your anxiety is gone... progressing, and surely moving forward.. and when it's almost gone, maybe you then can find a new goal: Something new that gives you anxiety, and then choose Get around to it and Automatic Pilot and Anxiety free and that will almost drive you to do it.. you will feel a urge for that.. And till that feels comfortable, let it be approaching a security guard or something like it. Or better, even smaller step... and when that anxiety almost has disappeared then choose a next goal which you know you can do, but still feel anxiety doing.. till it all feels comfortable again and so on and so on.... That really helped me.

I also found out that anxiety-free did not worked for me if my purpose was too big for me to handle at one time. REALLY importent to break it down to such small projects, that you feel that you CAN do, but still feel anxiety doing. And then doing it till it feels comfortable.. Then you have come a really really long way if you can notice the effect of that only once... The rest projects will then be a peace of cake, bacause you then have got familiar with the process.... It all may take years, but it's worth it, is it not?

It sounds like you might be clobbering a nail with a screwdriver.

What other Paraliminals do you have? New History Generator might be useful. Use it to go back to the time when this fear started. Even if you don't know when it started. Use A and B just once and see what happens. Keep a journal. Notice how it changes, better, worse, same.

Then use Anxiety Free B if you know you will meet or see someone you consider an authority figure in the next 24 hours and check again.

Hi Alex,

I may have hit gold.

Last night before I did anxiety free instead of saying I wish to be more masterful in social situations I changed it to the following.

I said to myself that I will be calm in the following situations i.e. at shop queues, walking past security guards, in the barbers etc.

I really did feel a change in my confidence as I walked around the shops today.

I also didn’t get much sleep last night which has made me feel even more excited.

Any way I will keep you posted of what happens.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I also do Holosync which I love. I do both on the same day but leave big gaps.

Regards

Jay

P.S. unfortunately I still have the bad dreams. But as I have got results I don’t care.
