relaxation techniques for cleaning your subconscious from all
the negative beliefs which are coming from your past.
21-Analysing reality: Autobiography.
What do you do when you start a new day? You shower and you
wash your body. Now, you are starting a new life: You have to
clean your reality. Reality is made up of two things: Your past
and your present condition
Your present condition is influenced by your past. As the past no
longer exists, it is above all your memories that explain your
current state. You are going therefore to examine your past or
more precisely the memories and beliefs that you have of it.
Take a pen and paper and write down your life from the
beginning. Write down your life chronologically, breaking it
down into distinct periods: Childhood, learning period, studies,
first job etc. Analyze each period and look for:
• What you wanted at the time
• What was your most outstanding feeling
For example, look at the following imaginary autobiography of a
young man that we shall call John:
1970-1975: I don’t remember much of my early childhood. I had 2
brothers and 3 sisters. My mother was very busy. My father came home
late and beat us. My little brother was very funny. We had good times
together. My sister brought me up and dealt with us, but she complained
all the time. I don’t have good memories of this period because of my
father.
1975-1987: I started primary school. I learned to read, write and count
quickly. My teacher was very nice. Later, I wanted to be a building
engineer. Overall, I have good memories of school.
