Join me for episode 72 where I will talk about how to prepare yourself for your first MAP session. I will go over the most important step, which is to watch the 15-minute preparatory video, and the flow of the first session as well as some common concerns about the MAP process. If you are not familiar with the MAP Method, let me just say this: The MAP Method is a “beautifully simple” way to resolve or release trauma emotions. If you are familiar with energy psychology methods like EMDR or tapping, MAP is the next generation - gentler and goes deeper. If you are familiar with energy work like Reiki, you might think of MAP as Reiki for the mind. If you are familiar with acupuncture, this is similar, only we use the mind to diagnose blocks, and optimize energy flow. If you have tried neural retraining methods like DNRS, MAP sessions achieve the same ends with less time and effort. In this episode, I discuss: - How to schedule your Introductory MAP session. - Why it is important to watch the preparatory video. - How to access the Zoom and set up your video. - How to choose a subject for your first session. - Why we take a baseline of your topic before we get started. - The purpose of the first MAP session, a 60-minute session. - Why we take a few minutes to complete the initiation to MAP at the beginning of your first session. - The flow of the Introductory session - what to expect. - The purpose of syncing up our subconscious minds prior to working on your subject. - The two streams of information a practitioner is following in a MAP session. - How a MAP Practitioner is able to guide the session through muscle checking. MAP is not hypnosis, it is a meditative process. - What to expect as we begin to work on your subject. - How to observe the clues that your subconscious mind is giving you during a session. - Each MAP session is an iterative process. - What you will notice by the end of the session that is an indication that the method is working for you. - The value of neutralizing memories and its effect on subconscious programming, patterns of behavior, conditioned responses, symptoms, etc. - Factors that will improve your receptivity to MAP.
