Supercharging Your Movie or Your Principle

Archive note: This is the complete text captured for this piece. It refers twice to a “Coach the Body” section that is not included in the preserved source. That section could not be recovered; no missing instructions have been invented. The original step numbers, including 6–10 in the final scanning sequence, are retained.

The Lightning Rod principle as describe in Raising Talent is the idea that under extreme situations our body often reverts to some level of flight/fight/freeze.  If we can create powerful enough positive extreme situations then we can identify and pre-emptively remove the limiting beliefs that will limit you about that theme/idea.  Of course you don’t have to use a lightning rod movie for this, create any outcome you want and put it into a vivid movie and supercharge that with meaning to see what it feels like to have your mind and body aligned for that outcome.

Elicitation question for Lighting Rods:  Do you have an audacious goal that you want to move towards, however you know that something is stopping you from taking action – would  you like to find out what this is and have the opportunity to release it?

Elicitation question for Scanning in principles– same as Mind to muscle – do you have a principle that you believe is so valuable to you, that fits so completely into your life that you want to scan it into you body so that the whole of your neurology is aligned with that principle?

Supercharging your Lightning Rod Movie – adapted from Raising Talent

1.    Create a 5-30 second vivid mental movie of the performance, situation, experience, result that you want.

2.    Make sure you are seeing the movie from your own eyes, and NOT like you are watching yourself on TV

3.    Use all your senses, what does it feel like, sound like, smell like, look like, taste like during your movie.

4.    Once you have played the movie so you can vividly experience it, find the best part of the movie and focus on that, and then answer the question, “So what does that mean to me?” five times (or more if you can – the more answers the better) [1]
*Make sure your answers are stated positively – so if you answer, “I won’t be nervous anymore.”, ask yourself the question, “So what will I be instead?”, “I will be confident and feel capable!” Then continue with the process, “So what does that mean to me?”

Scanning in the positive

1.    Once you have fully supercharged your movie (by answering all the, ”So what does it mean to me questions”) Focus on the positive and imagine scanning that all into your body slowly from the head down to your feet and back again.

2.    Make a salute gesture with your hand, and imagine telling every cell in your body, “This is what I want” and slowly moving your salute gesture from the top of your head, down your face, neck, upper body and then imagining the feeling slowly carrying down to your feet – this should take about 20 seconds if you have no “wobbles” or “interruptions.”

3.    A “wobble” or “interruption” will be a slight hesitation in your scan, some part of your body suddenly feels different, even if subtly so.  Once you find a wobble, go to the Coach the Body section

4.    Once you have scanned all the way down to your feet and have Let go or Solved any wobbles, scan from your feet back up to your head to see if you can find any wobbles on the return. This return scan should also take about 20 seconds.

5.    When you have completed your two scans (one up and one down) and your whole body is brimming with the positive energy, lock that in by Supercharging in – focus on the best part of the energy and ask , “What does this mean to me?” five times or more.

You can also use this technique for en ecology check (once you are in state), and also a mind to muscle- the mind to muscle is described below  There is another piece that I have developed where you scan from the back of your head down to your feet and I frame it about accessing your shadow, the things that are there but you are not facing, and I am often getting feedback from clients that they find things there.

Supercharging your principle – adapted from Raising Talent  (mind to muscle)

1.    Spend some time making sure the wording of your principle fits and is right for you and that you would want it in your body to be a ‘guide’ in all circumstances

2.    Focus on your principle and then answer the question, “So what does having this give me?” five times (or more if you can – the more answers the better)
*Make sure your answers are stated positively – so if you answer, “I won’t be nervous anymore.”, ask yourself the question, “So what will I be instead?”, “I will be confident and feel capable!” Then continue with the process, “So what does that give me?”

Scanning in the positive for the principle  (Mind to muscle)

6.    Once you have fully supercharged your principle (by answering all the, ”So what does having this give me?”) Focus on the principle and all that it will give you and imagine scanning that all into your body slowly from the head down to your feet and back again.

7.    Make a salute gesture with your hand, and imagine telling every cell in your body, “This is what I want” and slowly moving your salute gesture from the tips of your head, down your face, neck, upperbody and slowly all the way down your body, then imagining the feeling carrying down to your feet – this should take about 20 seconds if you have no “wobbles” or “interruptions.”

8.    A “wobble” or “interruption” will be a slight hesitation in your scan and it can be very subtle, once you find one, go to the Coach the Body section

9.    Once you have scanned all the way down to your feet and have Let go or Solved any wobbles, scan from your feet back up to your head to see if you can find any wobbles on the return. This return scan should also take about 20 seconds.

10. When you have completed your two scans (one up and one down) and your whole body is brimming with the positive energy, lock that in by Supercharging in – focus on the best part of the energy and ask , “What does this mean to me?” five times or more.
