POST- INTRODUCTORY LEVEL I
Four Basic Tools
Used at The Fourth Way,The Toronto Institute of Self Healing, Living
Circle, The Centre for Relationship
Coaching, The Mill & StillNess
1. Continuous Conscious Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing
Once
Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing is well established as a new habit, begin to bring
the breath to the lower chest after the belly has fully expanded. Then bring it to the upper chest and to the neck and shoulders,
all the while expanding the belly right down to the pelvis with each cycle. Aim to remember to do this once a minute, gradually
extending both the inspiration & the expiration to ½ a minute or more. Learn to continue this conscious breathing even
into the “unconsciousness” of sleep! (Level III!)
2. Affirmation
“Now
I commit to experience, express and witness the fullness of my feelings and thoughts in the moment, in ways that uplift me
and all creation. I choose to connect with Essence and govern my behaviour by principle”
To be said at the beginning of each period of conscious diaphragmatic breathing. You are cautioned that this
process of deep diaphragmatic breathing is designed to dislodge the various glues that have held the false selves in place
over your lifetime. Many emotional, physical and other symptoms may appear and you are urged to connect with your facilitator
the moment this happens to help be clear what is simple releasing and what may require medical attention.
3. Stroking
This is
the act of doing any behaviour (thoughts or actions) to give oneself good feelings on demand, creating the sensation of “warm
fuzzies”.
Perhaps involving
frequent self-appreciation, self-acknowledgment and unconditional loving compassion, done in a spirit of gratitude and celebration,
together with physical stroking.
Triple
stroke:
1-Stroke yourself
unconditionally.
2-Stroke for witnessing a behaviour or thought.
3-Stroke yourself
for stroking yourself.

A

the quality of one’s own experience.
