First off, I've been a Sarno disciple for over 15 years so I'm very versed in what's going on and how it effects the mindbody connection. I used to search for what my mind was trying to block from coming out. As I stated in an earlier post, I've found through this course that once the years of neural pathways are built and strong, we need to shift to other methods. I used the somatic tracking first. the key here is setting your expectations. Again, patience is a huge part of this and it doesn't happen immediately, especially if you're new to this. somatic tracking isn't meant to kill the pain, it's meant to create new, safe neural pathways. The next thing was to reflect on Alan's video stating, if it was an injury or deformity, it would hurt all the time. This came on for no reason whatsoever so I comforted myself by knowing that this was absolutely without question a TMS based issue. Once I took all of that in I started feeling better to the point that I forgot about it. Once I focused on it again, I'd feel a little pain which only served to give me confirmation of what it was. More bullets to use against this thing! I know that sounds simple, but again, I'm years in to figuring this thing out. For some of us it's an almost instant fix from the beginning. For others, it moves around from place to place, especially if we had developed serious neural pathways for years without knowing what TMS even was. The other HUGE thing that can't be focused on enough is outcome independence.
