even if you are primarily a visual processor, the issue you are want to change may be associated with an auditorily and/or kinesthetically based experience from your past. Consequently, a strictly visual approach to changing it may be ineffective. The secret is to use a change process that allows the subconscious mind to choose its own method of processing, rather than choosing the method consciously.
The PSYCH-K belief change process takes the guesswork out of choosing the best method for changing a belief, based on the unique characteristics of that belief.
VAK to the Future
I have used this V-isual, A-uditory, K-inesthetic format for many years to translate nonspecific conscious goals into sensory-based language the subconscious mind can understand.
Overall Goal: Happiness
If the criteria are too general, the results will usually be disappointing because the subconscious won’t know what resources to mobilize in order to accomplish the goal.
It is important to define your goal as specifically as possible and to do it in sensory-based language (visually, auditorily, and kinesthetically). For example, if your goal is to be happy, it is helpful to the subconscious mind if you can answer the following sensory-based questions:
1. What will you see in your life that will let you know that you ha...

More specifically, if you were happy, what would you see that you don’t see now? For example, you might see yourself surrounded by friends. You might see yourself on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. You might see yourself on a bathroom scale weighing in at your ideal weight. These are all tangible, visual examples of...

The answers to these questions should be “quotes” from the future like hearing a friend say, “You’re one of the happiest people I know.” And from yourself you would hear a com...

To describe it in sensory-based language, allow yourself to reexperience the feeling as much as possible, then ask the following questions:
1. While thinking about the past feeling, ask yourself where in your body you notice the greatest concentration of the feeling. 2. What color do you associate with it? 3. What temperature is it? 4. What shape is it? 5. Does it have a texture?
These kinesthetic answers are tangible, sensory-based descriptions of an otherwise abstract concept of joy. Now, the concept of joy is defined in such a way that the subconscious mind can understand it and mobilize its resources to manifest the feeling you want to have.
Describing your goal in a language the subconscious mind can understand is often critical to achieving the results you want.
Chapter 7 Putting It All Together
The Plague of Powerlessness
Permission Protocols
For instance, I worked with a teenage girl and her mother in a series of private sessions. The girl was having epileptic-like seizures.
This experience illustrates the importance of considering the consequences of simply removing symptoms without being aware of the purpose they may play in the total picture of a person’s life.
Had the medical treatments removed the symptom, I can only wonder: What other symptom would the mind have manifested to cope with the fear of being independent? Removing symptoms by a medical, psychological, or self-help process, without considering the benefit the symptom may be providing in a person’s life, may be just trading one problem for another.
With PSYCH-K you can get the lesson before releasing the symptom. The change process uses muscle testing to get permission before making the change. Permission is requested from both the subconscious and superconscious minds to assure the safety and appropriateness of proceeding with the belief change process.
The Superconscious Connection
The superconscious mind is different from either of the other “minds.” It’s more like a watchful and caring parent.
If You Don’t Know Where You Are Going, How Will You Know When You Arrive?
Expressing your desires as negations is not only confusing but can even be counterproductive. The subconscious mind tends to omit negations.
For instance, the previous sentence would most likely be heard by your subconscious as “I (negation deleted) want to go to Times Square,” one of the many places you don’t want to go!
You Can’t Build a House with Only One Tool
Einstein Was Right
In my exploration of various self-help change techniques over the past twenty plus years, I discovered that most of them seemed unnecessarily complex.
What Counts Is the Wisdom and Ability Within You
PSYCH-K relies on the inner wisdom and ability within the individual–a wisdom and ability most people don’t even know they have.
When It Comes to Muscle Testing, the Eyes Have It
Clarity of Intention Matters
The most important features of the conscious mind in the PSYCH-K process are volition and discernment.
It is particularly important to have a clear intention when accessing the subconscious and superconscious minds. Where you direct your attention determines which part of the mind you are communicating with.
asking the subconscious mind to give you information beyond its “habituated” perspective is inappropriate and can be misleading. The subconscious is like a precocious five-year-old with lots of information, but not much wisdom.
Remember, the subconscious is the storehouse for your attitudes, values, and beliefs, and it controls your habitual responses in life.
On the other hand, the superconscious mind has wisdom and perspective the subconscious and conscious minds don’t have.
Its job is to provide counsel and support to the other levels of mind and to help manifest the intentions of the conscious and subconscious mind by creating those “meaningful co...

The step-by-step written instructions and personal training offered in the PSYCH-K workshops are all you need to utilize the change processes safely and successfully.
And one final point: PSYCH-K is a vehicle for change. It’s like a car; it doesn’t decide where you should go, it just gets you there. In other words, PSYCH-K doesn’t choose what you should believe. It helps you believe what you choose.
