I was over visiting a neighbor this weekend, just catching up and chatting. The weather was chilly with overcast skies and a slight mist falling. We were standing just inside of her doorway, out of the cold. Read more »

For those who celebrate the Christian faith, today is Easter. Easter celebrates Christ’s resurrection from the dead. I’m not here to talk about religion, just that this holiday today has me thinking about rebirth and its importance in EBT training. Read more »

It seems fitting that on today, January 1, 2011 or 1/1/11, my hope is that the world will learn to live at 1…one person at a time. Truly, a world at 1. Read more »

So, I'm creating JOY in my life. That's my JOB, because if I matter, I take my power, and I use my brain and body to create joy in my life, then I'm going to be a beacon of light, and not be crabby, numb, on edge or miserable. That sounds like a good thing. So I'm looking around my house and wondering if I am creating this nice little play pen for myself. Not what anyone else would like, but my personalized play pen. I have JUST what I need to make MYSELF enormously happy. Let's see. I have my cat, and she is loving and so soft and sweet. She lets me carry her around the house like a baby, and doesn't even act like she is tolerating me. She is that sweet. Then I have my bookshelves. I LOVE looking at the books, sifting through the books, and remembering reading the books and discovering what they say. I have a hot shower and I LOVE the heat on my shoulders and all the splashes of water. But what else could I do to make my house feel like my own personal playpen? What do you do to create joy from all the natural pleasures . . .speaking of that, I think I will go play my piano . . . and put my running shoes by the front door, so I go for a run tomorrow morning . . .

When you first start doing Cycle, my suggestion is to just have at it. Just trying is a victory. Also, don't expect much. Early in using EBT emotions are not as deep, so the Cycle penetrate and enable you to find unreasonable expectations. It's only as you use it over time, and feel that powerful switch from stress to joy that the tool becomes even more powerful.
However, right from the start, chances are you'll feel the shirt. Knowing what is happening when you use it, adds to the richness of the experience. First, be sure you are in Brain State 4, not 3 or 5. If you are in those states, use Emotional Housecleaning and you'll pop to 1 or 2. In either case, use a tool again to get to a deep, pure, fabulous Brain State 1. If you are in Brain State 5, use Damage Control. That could put you to Brain State 1, but it can also move you to Brain State 4, the state of that Moment of Opportunity. Read more »
