But you wanna figure out what is it you already really have a strong positive association with that emotionally and physically makes you feel strong or empowered or confident, whatever the state you want. And in your case, it was that song.
so then you just play that song not in the car you can do it in the car but ahead of time you can play it and you can just let yourself feel those empowering feelings or confidence or whatever it is build up within you and then what you do is you choose some kind of cue or trigger or anchor a gesture of some kind usually rubbing your fingers together making a fist tapping on your you know neck it doesn't matter as long as it's not something you do every day
You do that when you're feeling that feeling as strongly as you can, and then you just repeat that process for four or five minutes just to really condition yourself. And then when you're in the car, it helps to have the music again, but even if you don't have it, just when you get to the point where you might have otherwise started to feel uncomfortable,
you do that trigger or that gesture or whatever that is. And usually that brings back some of those positive feelings that you had basically copied from the music and pasted onto that gesture. So it's kind of like a copy paste. And then what you're doing is you're creating in real time a more positive association with the environment that previously was nerve wracking.
So you're teaching your subconscious, oh, we can feel good when we're driving.
I've heard of it generically. I know that's something you're big into.
Yeah, you explained that pretty well. I think it was actually late 1800s, but nonetheless, or even maybe later, whatever the case is, it's something that is built into all Actually, I think even down to the cellular level, I think even bacteria can be conditioned with a shock or with some form of environmental negative stimulus. They'll move away from it. So even something at that level.
So the point is that this is not something... That kind of conditioning is not a conscious... level of conditioning, and it doesn't require intelligence, depending on how you define that. Most people probably wouldn't say bacteria are particularly intelligent, but there are basic things that they can be conditioned to do.
And if I'm wrong about bacteria, then very primitive animals certainly will do that. But I would say the emotional part is important, whether it's positive or negative, because when you're bringing up feelings of gratitude or it doesn't even be gratitude but any any empowering feeling when an emotion is paired to a thought it's more likely to become a memory now if you have hungry dogs
and you present meat, they're going to get emotional about it because they're very excited. So if there's no emotional level there at all, it's a lot harder to learn things. Think about how long it took us to learn stuff in school. It was probably boring and repetitive, and it wasn't particularly emotionally inspiring.
And so we had to kind of drill it into our head by repeating it 100 times and studying and cramming. But when someone develops a phobia, let's say, or a trauma happens, traumatic experience, they only need one time to learn it. That's called single trial learning. So that's even faster than with the dog, the Pavlov dog. A very intense emotional experience can imprint a memory immediately.
One of the reasons why the work that Gina and I do tends to work so well is because the brain, the mind, you know, the mind is a concept correlates to certain parts of the brain, but basically our mind learns things better quickly as trauma proves.
and so it learns it unlearns quickly better than in a slow drawn-out analytical process which is one reason why just talking about your problems again and again while initially might be insightful eventually is going to hit a wall because we don't learn that way we learn better quickly and we learn the subconscious mind i do want to say one thing though about the the mind movie there's a lot of pop psychology
in the personal development world i mean there's definitely some legitimacy and some value to the mind movies that you're talking about it's just a lot of emphasis and marketing is put on promoting a positive thinking or uh you know let's just let's just make ourselves feel good while we think about something in order to get our mind to focus on it like you're talking about what's missing a lot of cases is that if there's a subconscious belief based on some past experience
about the individual or how they relate to the world that is strongly disempowering, such as a traumatic experience, upsetting experience, low self-worth, anxiety, fear, whatever, just doing that kind of empowering exercise is going to have diminishing returns unless you remove the crap that's already there.
So what Gina and I often do is when we talk with someone and we determine what's really naturally holding them back from what should be ideally a fairly natural flow towards their goals, but rarely is for people, we ask, okay, what's getting in the way of this? Just like the body naturally heals when we get rid of the toxins and the garbage and all that stuff.
If it's not healing, we have to ask what's stopping it. So if we're not achieving our goals or we're constantly sabotaging our health or relationships or money, whatever it is, it pays to ask what might be causing it. And it's probably a belief self-worth or a fear of some outcome, whatever it might be. There's other things too. And then that has to be dealt with.
Once that is neutralized, once that disempowering perception is unlearned, then often you don't even need to do the mind movie kind of thing. But if you do it, it will simply accelerate realization of the person's outcome or goal.
Well, you know, while Gina and I have not seen everything, I mean, she's been in practice nine years. For me, it's been 18. We've seen a lot. And we've seen, you know, we could rattle off all kinds of examples of people with really, as you said, effed up experiences. past experiences like big T traumas, you know, crazy stuff objectively.
And that led to a lot of, you know, health issues and relationship issues and money issues and career issues and all these different things. They're just, they're just surface level issues. bits of evidence that something is off at a subconscious level. It's not anyone's fault. But when shit happens, you have to know how to flush and move on.
