Communicating with your basic and high self

Want more conscious communication with your basic self and high self?  Good, me too.  Communication between levels simply takes education and practice.  The funny thing is your basic self and high self are always in touch.  They are more similar than different, cut from the same cloth, subconscious and unconscious, similar.  On the other hand, the conscious self is an island, by far the most isolated of the three selves. The conscious self can get in on the conversation between b/s and h/s, but it takes desire, willingness and practice.

The conscious self is the most isolated of the three selves by design.  The c/s represents the soul here in 3D life.  Our soul, your soul, does indeed stand outside of all conditioned levels and is free of conditioning.  In order for it to KNOW this is true, here in the confusing mish-mash of 3D life, the c/s has to have the possibility of objectivity, being IN but NOT OF the chaos of 3D experience  That’s why the c/s is the most isolated self here.  The value of the isolated c/s is, fewer distractions.  This enables the c/s to do its job better:  making healthy choices.

Differentiating distinctions between the conscious self and basic self was the major blind spot of 20th century psychology–except for Huna–and education–except for Waldorf education.

The conscious self is the

most isolated of the three selves

This helps explain why the three selves has been a cultural blind spot.  The good news is, fewer distracting phenomena enable the c/s to do its job better of making healthy choices. The c/s is out of the loop of the basic and high self (John-Roger); the b/s and h/s are cut from the same cloth; the c/s is cut from different cloth.

List of equivalencies for the basic self

The basic self is functionally equal to all of these:

- inner child,

- our immune system,

- our sub- and unconscious,

- our etheric body,

- the Little Artist of The Artist’s Way,

- our ‘habit body’ (habits and routine behaviors on all levels),

- our reactive self, and

- our ‘memory body.’

Why do we say these are all functionally equal?  Because the c/s communicates with each of these in teh same way, as a loving, patient parent.

Mental age of the three selves

In general, the inner child has the mental age of a young child, three to seven years old.  Therefore it is converged with concrete senses and the physical body.  It is more awake in our feling mind than in our thinking mind.  The young child still gives itself up into Oneness frequently.

In gneeral, the conscious self has the mental age of an adult.  It is clear light-of-day rationality.  It is also our yak-yak monkey mind.  The c/s can use either thinking or feling as its dominant rational strategy.  Feelings are a rational way to evaluate and make decisions. Thinking is second rational way to evaluate and make decisions.

In general the high self has the mental age of an unconditionally loving and accepting grandmother or grandfather, wise with age, already reunited with Spirit.  Healthy elders have expanded and relaxed their psyche.  They embrace an expanded range of their own psyche.  Wise grandpatrents understand all three ages, child, adult and other elders. Healthy elders are no longer slaves to the isolation of left brain sequential logic.

The nature of human nature: your three selves

What do the most grounded and effective self-healers do?  What effective, HAPPY self-healers do that merely talented people do not, is they have a comprehensive VISION of what it means to be fully human and optimally healthy.  They have a direction towards wholeness in their own psyche.

We ended 2008 with virtually no functional psychology nor virtually any functional K-college education, for the purposes of personal-spiritual growth.  What’s needed is a model of human psyches simple enuf to appeal to high school seniors and college freshmen, engaging enuf to draw young adults into lifelong health of the psyche.

We desperately need new views on the Nature of Human Nature.  Without new models, neither a psychology of health nor more education producing  independent thinkers can easily develop.

A good basis for healthy psychology comes from Hawaiian mysticism, Huna.  In in the West it’s called the Three Selves.  The Three Selves (3S) models the whole human psyche including our natural spiritual capacities  The model is so simple, versions of it can be taught to five year olds as long as loving is the focus.  Always make loving your focus.

The inner child, also called the basic self, is the one breathing you right now.  The conscious self only occasionally attends to how we breathe.  We CAN breathe consciously–but–frankly, the conscious self has more pressing and interesting things to do.  Typically the inner child has the language of a two to five year old; and, can only count to ten.

What does the inner child want? It wants the loving cooperation of the conscious self to bend down and lovingly assist it with all the places it hurts and where it is stuck in life.

The conscious self

The conscious self (c/s)  is the one reading this word right now.  The job of the c/s is to make healthy choices and decisions.  The c/s is trying to do the right thing, at the right time, with the right people, for the right reasons.

3D life is a rapid sequence of opportunities to make better, healthier decisions.  As it matures, the c/s learns to make healthy decisions for the highest good of all concerned.  In other words, it learns ethics; it learns the value of alignment; it learns, “I am what I align with.”   The c/s also has the job of learning cooperation with the b/s and high self.

The c/s is also the one who makes To Do lists and lists of all kinds; including, “Bad people do these kinds of things. . . Good people do these kinds of things . . .”

What does the c/s want?  Just ask it; it has the same language you have.  In numbers, its domain is 100, the decimal system.

The high self

The high self (h/s) is the one who knows the plan of your present embodiment, the lessons your soul planned to accomplish and what opportunities you have to accomplish your goals.  Your h/s is working right now to ascertain the value of the Three Selves for you.  That’s its main job, to determine the VALUE of persons, places and experiences for you.  In numbers its domain is 1000.

What does the h/s want?  Whatever facilitates the soul doing and learning what it signed up to do and learn, whatever propels you forward to align with love, Light and angels and your own divinity.

The conscious selves communicate with each other by talking.  Two basic selves in the same room communicate with each other SUBconsciously thru body language and all other non-verbal channels.  The high selves communicate with each other UNconsciously, above the yak-yak mind, looking for people who are beneficial for you to relate with.  At each level, your 3S communicate with each other.

Whenever two or more people meet, all the basic selves and all the high selves are in constant communication depending on proximity and involvement.

Our most under-used energetic tool is …

Forgiveness is my candidate for the most under-used tool.  If you think of a more useful, less-used tool for self-healing, contact me!

Q:  If everyone has forgiveness in their toolbox, who is it under-used?

A:  People use forgiveness like a one-time affirmation and it does not work that way.  Most people I meet are not getting much of an inner shift with forgiveness because they use it like an affirmation.  Slow-Motion Forgiveness(TM) corrects this, making forgiveness effective for very many unresolved issues people face.

Q:  How does forgiveness work?

A:  To understand forgiveness, we have to step back and look at judgement also.  Learn how judgment works in the inner child and immune system and how to forgive becomes clear.

One job the basic self, the inner child, has is recording and storing unresolved disturbances, until they are accessed, and the life lessons extracted by the soul.  The soul knows all 3D experience is valuable and useful. The basic self records and holds onto all experiences charged with emotion but left unresolved.

Example of how an issue forms

For example, say you have an issue with feeling betrayed; you are super-sensitive to any sense you might be betrayed again.  Do you think this formed from a single incident?  Or do you think this formed from feeling betrayed over and over?  For a bona fide issue to form, requires many instances of feeling a negative emotion.  For faulty beliefs to become conscious here in 3D, requires much “rehearsing” and reinforcing.  The basic self records each of those instances.  Some clairvoyants see these hurts, these judgments, as pins.  Hence the commonly heard phrase “human pin cushion.”

When we have many instances of the same unresolved feeling, the inner child needs a simpler way to keep track of these incidents–it simply numbers them:  the first time I allowed myself to feel betrayed and let down, the second time I allowed myself to feel betrayed and let down, etc.

That’s the bad news:  each incident of feeling betrayed IS recorded.  The good news is, since incidents are recorded by the number―they can simply be forgiven by the number!

Therefore, the process of Slow-motion forgiveness goes like this:

“I forgive myself for allowing myself to feel __________ (i.e. betrayal), the first time, the second time, the third time 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 . . .

Q:  How do I know slow-motion forgiveness™ is working for me?

A:  You are looking for any inner shift of your energy.  Anything.  Count as long as energy continues to shift, move and clear.  There is no ritual here.  If no energy moves, try changing-adjusting the forgiveness target emotion.

Q:  How high do I count?

A:  Keep counting as long as energy moves inside you.  I ask clients in 1:1 sessions to coiunt to 30 or 50.  In the next three days, it can be very healing for clients do it again–as long as energy moves somehow.  I count to 1000 on my own issues.  I often do this walking, one number per step.

Q:  How do I know if I have identified the best target emotion?

A:  If energy moves, it’s a “hit.”  If nothing moves, change something.  Please do make up your own verbal formulas and try them!  You know you have the right word formula if energy moves and clears. Feel free to change the words to “hit the nail more on the head.” This is trial and error, simple scientific method.  NLP puts it this way, “If you don’t get the result you wish, try something else.”  The University of Santa Monica (USM) puts it this way, “Make something up,” (MSU).

Q:  What will I feel?

A:  Often clients cannot feel the energy move. A more intuitive person can tell them what’s occurring.  The typical experience is throwing off a burden you no longer wish to carry.  This feels like throwing off a wet blanket.  Give me a phone call if you get stuck.

What’s in your self-healing toolbox?

Whether you know it or not, you have a toolbox for self-healing.  These are the techniques, information, protocols and ideas, you use to solve everyday problems for yourself, family and children.

Some of your “tools” are simple home remedies:  what to do for a sunburn, poison ivy, sore feet.

Some of them are interpersonal wisdom:  how to treat a cranky child, how to break bad news to a friend, how to stage a surprise party.

The tools you use for self-healing, are more conceptual, things like curiosity, asking questions, honesty, and integrity.  Awareness, goal setting, intention, choice, and love also come to mind.

It’s no credit to our K-12 schools that we arrive at adulthood with so few tools in our self-healing toolbox that we require professionals to do most of our healthcare.  We can remedy that now.  In the history of the Earth, there have never been so many healers, techniques, modalities for growth and opportunities to learn as there are right now.  These articles introduce you to as many new tools as you wish to assimilate.

Your toolbox is unique because each person is unique.  Each person heals uniquely.  Every practitioner uses tools uniquely with their clients.

Whether you work on clients or only on yourself, you know how to work tools.  The tool itself does relatively little; it’s passive; you are the active party.  The tool waits for you to pick it up.  You pick up the tool because it gives you leverage and access you wouldn’t otherwise have.  You can only acactate a tool by using it and practicing with it.

A story:  I have about 20 dental tools at home because once I had a great success keeping myself out of emergency dental care with a handmade dental tool. Now I have professional dental tools.  However since I don’t know how to use funny shaped surgical knives, they sit in my hardware toolbox rusting away.  A real dentist would be using such tools every day and getting more and more skilled with them because she wishes to solve problems these tools are designed to solve.

What kinds of problems do you wish to solve today?  What kinds of tools will do that work?  Look thru this “toolbox.” This series of articles.  You may find what you need.  If you get stuck, give me a call (310) 287-2813.

If you know of more or better tools, please share them!

The future of healthcare: join the Self-healing Club!

You found it!  This is your ticket to the club of people healing themselves at a more rapid rate than the general public.  This is your ticket to the lifestyle of healers—whether you practice with clients or not!  In this lifestyle, if you do the work, it’s possible to have a healing almost every day.

I define self-healing as asking for, and arranging things, to create shifts in your mental, emotional, unconscious & spiritual energies, towards wellness & wholeness.  Physical improvements then become inevitable.

Do this enuf times and you can, over time, tramp your way out of arthritic symptoms, benign brain tumors, teeth and gum problems, low self-esteem and a thousand sub- and unconscious disturbances, like I have in 30 years.

As the price of health care goes up and the supply of general practice physicians goes down–taking care of yourself first is the most practical thing we can do for ourselves.

Healthcare starts and ends with SELF-care–always has, always will.  All healthcare should begin with self-healing, don’t you agree?

In the future, all health care for adults, except emergency care, will begin with self-care, self-healing, kinesiology and energetic practices.  These are the least-cost ways to address problems, corrctions and prevention.  Better self-care is most impactful on chronic and degenerative conditions, the most problematic conditions.

Earlier self-healing was pretty much reswtricted to herbs, massage, and reflexology.  In the 1970s this changed when Applied Kinesiology restricted to chiropractors lead to Touch for Health for nurses and lay persons.  .  The 1970s brougt the sub-culture of dowsing more public exposure.  Many of the energetic modaliteis we have today can be described as teh “children” of Touch for Health, dowsing and NLP.  These three converged in various ways to produce:

Psych-K – belief portion of Touch for Health usefully expanded,

Energy Medicine – the meridian cleairing part of TforH usefully expanded,

EFT – meridian clearing applied to trauma release,

Theta Healing – clearing of beliefs combined with many otehr isnights,

Babinetics – a combination of TCM, muscle testing, and new ideas, leading to,

Peace Theological Seminary Masters & Doctorate programs.

Dowsing and NLP both encouraged individuals to develop custom protocols to address specific issues, problems and situaitons.

Q:  Which modality will work best for me?

A:  Everyone heals uniquely.  The best one for you–is teh one that works and gets you results.  As long as beneficial results keep appearing, keep using it.  When it stops working, have the wit to let it go and move to something else.  Several large books, catalogues for nurses exist, large lists of complementary and energetic healing modaliites at Amazon under “alternative medicine.”

In practice, you’ll find yourself gravitating either more towards modalities exercising Sensory and Thinking percepts, like chiropractic and muscle manipulation; or, towards iNtuitive and Feeling percepts.  Learn more about your own personal preferences in by Googling MBTI +test.  If you get stuck, give me a call.

Check willingness to heal first! How effective will my client’s session be?

Surprisingly, the effectiveness of any client session can be estimated with some accuracy.

This has to be done right at the start, as soon as a client announces what issue they wish to work on.

What the conscious self wishes to work on is the “target” of the session.

I encourage clients to compose a “shopping list” of issues they wish to clear up.  This is what I do when I have 1:1 sessions with my coach in medical Intuition.  When clients have a shopping list, the conscious self has many “targets.”

Is the inner child aligned with the conscious self?

That I, the conscious self, wants to heal loneliness, poverty or illness is good; but, what about the inner child, your basic self, your immune system?  Is it aligned with that target–or not?

If you do not know about the inner child, see my other writings at IseeInto.net > Articles > The nature of Human nature:  Your three selves; or, Google “inner child.”

Very often the conscious and basic self are NOT in alignment on the same goals for healing.  More commonly the two selves are in PARTIAL agreement on the target issue.

The degree of alignment the two selves have on the target to heal is easy to measure on a scale of 1-10 because the inner child can count to ten.

Alignment needs to be 7/10 or higher in the basic self for the session to create significant positive movement.

I like to see willingness to heal int he basic self at 8/10 or higher.  Then movement in the session is easy to get; the client “feels something is happening!”

So if they have a shopping list of issues, I go down the list and learn which issue they have the highest willingness to heal on.  This becomes the best place to start.  usually ti is also a good doorway into all the other issues they have on their shopping list.

How to test willingness to heal

How to test?  Simple.  You need permission to muscle test or surrogate test your client.  If this is a phone session, you will be doing surrogate testing.  Don’t know how?  Then you are t the stage of more practice with muscle testing and self-testing.  You might like the book Self-healing 101! Awakening the Inner Healer on this.  It has eight simple exercises to get you into self-testing the EASY way.

Example

If the conscious self has just told you, “I want to quit smoking,” that’s a clear target.  It’s wise to slow down and first test and check how the inner child of the client feels about giving up smoking.  The inner child can count to ten so you can measure its willingness to change the smoking habit on a scale of ten.  I find a willingness to heal in the inner child needs to be 7 or higher for the session to produce results the client feels as “real.”  If the basic self is not aligned with healing or changing the unwanted habit, if the willingness to heal is 6/10 or lower, the session can easily be sabotaged by this lack of alignment on the target, in the client.

Stephen Colbert models OUT of alignment

Need an example of what it looks like when the conscious self and basic self are out of alignment?  This is where much of the humor of Steven Colbert on the Colbert Report comes from.  On his first show, Colbert is surrounded with large stage props with his name in big letters.  The big letters throw a shadow of his name on the curtain behind him.  His name is on three sides of his desk.  Finally his desk, from above, is in the shape of a letter “C.”  Colbert points to all these and then turns to the audience and says, But this show is not about me–it’s about you.”  This sense of not-matching, of mismatch, is the source of much humor and often used to deflate big egos who are out of touch with themselves, with their basic self.

The degree of change achieved as perceived by clients, appears to have 90% to do with the client’s willingness to heal, not to the skill of the practitioner.  I measure every client’s willingness to heal their issue as a preliminary intake question.

Always make sure the conscious self an basic self are in agreement on the goal the client announces.  The greater a client’s willingness to heal, the easier the healing and the more dramatic results are likely to be.

A Medical Intuitive speaks about self-healing, self-testing & being spirit-led

Caroline Myss & Norm Shealy created a new, more professional role for professional intuitives who up until the 1980s had been mere “psychics.” Myss & Shealy lifted the role of professional Intuitive by converging it with the rigor of 20th century experimental science and tough-minded objectivity about why people don’t heal.  Practitioners practicing int his way were lifted above card readers and 1950s style psychics.

Twenty years after Caroline Myss’s debut, muscle testing and more inward self-testing have enabled people who are much less clairvoyant than Myss to test their way thru issues and illnesses even if they can not see thru direct inner vision.  Turns out the effectiveness of Medical Intuitive sessions correlates more with accurate–and loving–discernment than clairvoyant ability per se. Practice of healthy discernment also expands natural clairvoyant ability.

This coming from my heart; here’s what’s real for me.  After decades of learning techniques including Touch for Health, Energy Medicine, EFT, Psych-K, Immunics, Theta Healing, etc.; after studying all the literature on Medical Intuition, after writing seven books more on it myself, after hundreds of hours of paid coaching on my own issues and after a thousand hours with clients, at the end…

It’s about being spirit-led.

From doing it over and over, a pattern is evident in my process of being spirit-led.  It often follows this sequence:

Gratitude > alignment > surrender > love > taking appropriate action in the NOW.

Expansion of my effectiveness with clients seems primarily due to two things.  One is my willingness to listen to Benefactors in Spirit who see the client’s issues more clearly than I do.  Down here you and I can only see from “I” level.  Spirit does not have this limitation.  Benefactors in Spirit, aligned with the highest good of the client can see the whole pattern and pin point where the disturbances are and where the therapeutic openings are now.

The other is my coaches in Medical Intuition, practitioners more skilled and gifted than I.  I bring my “shopping list” of personal issues to work on, be as transparent as I can be, and together we create pathways to healing them.  When we come to forks in the road, we ask Spirit for a second opinion on which fork has more Light on it.  These sessions expand my heart, my work, my service and my connection with my own Divinity.

With clients I “listen” to all issues with testing.  I also check my own work as well.  This takes us back to discernment, exercising my capacity to discriminate dark from Light, which of two directions has more Light on it, as Spirit sees it.

So far I’ve avoided being called a mystic and I hope it continues that way.  “Being a mystic” can’t be taught but testing, self-testing, muscle testing CAN all be taught.  I believe Caroline Myss’s “modern mystics,” people out in the world, assisting other people, grows at the rate more people learn to muscle test, self-test and self-heal.

You can learn to self-test if you have high willingness to learn.  In my experience “high willingness to learn” means an 8 or higher on a scale of ten.  Where do the numbers come from?  Thru testing, communicating with the inner child, learning if it is aligned with the goals of the conscious self.

But maybe I go too fast here.  Let’s start at the beginning.  What is a Medical Intuitive?  What is Medical Intuition?

Medical Intuition (MI) converges Intuition and testing (muscle-testing, other forms of self-testing).  Unusual insight into client complaints is gained thru testing and clairvoyance of various forms, see below.

The interests of Medical Intuitives cover a wide range from viewing strictly physical-tissue-metabolic processes directly to discussion and uncovery of life purpose and spiritual directions.  MIs are rarely licensed MDs or DOs and so may not diagnose.  Most of them work professional under protection of ministerial credentials and/or coaching training.  Most effective MIs are gifted counselors whether they have counseling certificates or not.

Practitioners have varying degrees of authentic clairvoyance, awareness of human anatomy.  Those following the impulse of Caroline Myss all value the scientific method of hypothesis, trial, result and retest.

While a large fraction of Medical Intuitive practitioners do put “hands on” clients, the growing trend is to keep “hands off.”  This trend is most dramatically evident in the very large fraction of MI client sessions done over the phone, a worldwide phenomena.  “Hands off” sessions are likely to be the trend.  Putting “hands on” greatly increases the likelihood of professional intuitives picking up disturbances released by clients.  Working “hands off” is part of many MI’s self-protection routines

Effective MIs are good sources of second opinions on disturbed physical health.  Effective MIs can very often short circuit expensive and unnecessary testing and reduce costs.  MIs are destined to increasingly be invited to collaborate with conventional MDs and DOs.

No official consensus on the purpose of Medical Intuition now exists.  The activity of Medical Intuition is well-described as assisting clients to connect the dots between their issues and their illnesses.   When successful, the primary causative factors are found, such primary causes are not physical-material in about half of all cases.  For MIs who also treat, effective sessions permit clients throw off burdens they no longer wish to carry.  This suggests the general aims of modern Medical Intuition as I practice it.
