How it works

Orthostatic position

As mentioned here, repetition compulsion is an unconscious drive to recreate emotional patterns similar to those experienced in the past. It leads, unconsciously, the person to seek out or recreate situations that evoke the same intense past emotions, and therefore also repeat painful or self-defeating experiences, patterns, or relationships, even when they consciously want to avoid them.

But how does the unconscious seek out these patterns from the past? It does so by drawing on fears that were formed, often in early life, and became embedded in the mind. These fears can be grouped into four main categories, acting as mental blocks.

• Guilt feelings
• Low self esteem
• Fear of abandonment
• Fear of judgment

In order to overcome any of the above blocks, anyone should first of all try to find out where they originate from.

Each block originates, most of the time, from a conflict or an unpleasant situation that occurred during the period of youth.

Below is an example on how you can find out which of this block is ruling your unconscious mind.

For now, you can simply focus on identifying which of these blocks is influencing your unconscious mind.

Note: Some people may have just one mental block affecting them, while others may have more.

Orthostatic position

The unconscious expresses itself in everyday life through simple language, with its own rules.

For this short test, it is useful to understand the binary language of the unconscious in order to identify mental blocks.

When we are drawn to something we like, we tend to reach for it or try to obtain it. Conversely, when we dislike something, we move away from it or avoid it.

For example, if you see a cute dog that you like, you will likely approach it to pet and cuddle it. On the other hand, if you see a dangerous animal such as a lion or a tiger, you will step back and keep your distance.

So, we now understand that moving forward and backward is a basic, innate instinctive system. We can therefore say that, for the unconscious, “forward” represents “yes” or “I like it,” while “backward” represents “no” or “I don’t like it.”

Before you begin, ensure you are in a quiet environment free from distractions, such as phone notifications or background noise.

First, stand up and adopt an orthostatic position as shown in the figure. Keep your body relaxed and evenly balanced on both feet, with your eyes closed to promote deeper relaxation.

Ask questions to the unconscious mind

You can begin by calibrating your responses by asking to your unconscious mind your real name and then a different name that is not yours, and you may notice your upper body gently shift forward or backward while your feet remain grounded.

The first question is about your name. You ask a question using your real name and a further question asking a different name. In this way you calibrate your unconscious mind about the Yes and Not code. This is helpful for the further questions, as if your unconscious responds with the “Yes” code (forwards) on your real name and with the “No” code (backwards) on any other fake name, it means that your unconscious is been calibrate well.

Let’s see how to proceed by following the instructions below.

Question: “Dear unconscious, is it true or false that my name is … (say your name)? If yes, move my body forward; if no, move it backward”.

e.g. If your name is Mike, you can ask: “Dear unconscious, is it true or false that my name is Mike? If yes, move my body forward; if no, move it backward“.

Your upper body should move forward to indicate the response while your feet stay grounded. Now repeat the question, but replace the name with any name other than your own.”

Question: “ Dear unconscious, is it true or false that my name is Kevin? If yes, move my body forward; if no, move it backward“.

Here your body should move backwards.

It doesn’t matter if you start asking first about your real or fake name. That is up to you.

Now you can go ahead with further questions to identify one or more blocks in the follows points:

1. Relationships with the family of origin (dad and mum) or adoptive family (if adopted).
2. Sentimental and emotional relationships
3. Sexual and passionate relationships
4. Self-realization, hobbies and work

  

Question: “Dear unconscious, in which of the following areas I have a problem to solve?”

Observe whether your body moves forward or backward. Take note of the result after each question, then continue exploring all the areas.

• “In the first area? Relationships with the family of origin? Yes or Not?”

• “In the second area? Sentimental and emotional relationships? Yes or Not?”

• “In the third area? Sexual and passionate relationships? Yes or Not?”

• “In the fourth area? Self-realization, hobbies and work? Yes or Not?”

Once you have done it, see in which of the 4 areas your unconscious moved your body forwards.

If the response indicates problems in more than one area, which is quite common in a lot of people, start always with the first area, the “Relationships with the family of origin” and then with any other you have found you have a problem. The relationship with the family of origin is the most important area where our problems usually origin, therefore sometimes we need to solve problems we have had with our parents, following then the other areas.

Let’s see how to proceed.

If, for example, you discover a problem in the first area, you can begin asking questions about that specific aspect.

Question: “Dear unconscious, which of the following blocks is causing my problem with my family of origin?”

• Low self esteem? Yes or not?

• Fear of abandonment? Yes or not?

• Fear of judgment? Yes or not?

• Guilt feelings? Yes or not?

This is an example of how to identify issues that affect people. However, there are also other matters that, for obvious reasons, can only be addressed with the help of an expert who has the appropriate knowledge of this system.
