So at this point allow whatever you've been holding an awareness to be released. You don't have to push it out of

awareness by any means, just no longer feel the intention to keep something that we've worked with in the front of your awareness and instead I'd like you to replace that with an image just a static image of an event that happened in this past year that really sucked.

Something that was painful, disappointing, not so much on a global scale, but just, a breakdown in a

set back

whatever comes to mind don't judge it ever comes to mind don't judge it

just allow the right hemisphere, the emotional mind to bring up an image that you associate with disappointment in the last year and just hold it there and just ask yourself,

how did this feel?

Don't retell the story, just hold the image and ask yourself how did it feel.

Just connect with that

emotional emotional, ever so important emotional life that we so often don't check in with.

Just find that feeling of sadness or disappointment or anger and just allow

yourself to connect with whatever needs to be felt, especially not so much a thought, but a feeling

in the body. And now letting that image dissipate and then bringing to mind a new image without any thought

just allow whatever image arises associated with joy in the last year,

something that brought you a sense of

uplift, something that made you excited or made you feel buoyant or

useful or joyous. buoyant or

or joyous
