Clearing Inner Turmoil and Confusion

[xise]

The opposite balancing technique is great.

Another good technique is the asking of questions to get to the core belief. Teal Scott describes a decent way to get to core imbalances here in her shadow work video (I know the technique can definitely be used outside of shadow work as I use something similar. I would also advise that her video is not the end all be all of shadow work or balancing techniques in general; it's just something I found yesterday that may be of use to you):



Basically, whenever something bothers you, keep asking yourself two questions:

(1) What does that mean to me?
(2) If this were true, why would it be bad?

The video has a great example of this at around the 5:00 mark. You gotta go deep with the questions, layer after layer, probably around 5-10 iterations of repeated questions for most to get to the core beliefs. In her example, she goes from the bothersome thought "my roommate keeps our place messy" to the core belief of "I feel worthless." I have personally used questioning to go from a seemingly external bothersome belief like that to a deeply held internal imbalance. Questioning works wonders if you're willing to put effort into digging ultra-deep. Here's a key hint: The core belief is usually an energy center-related belief (I call it the chakra cheat sheet).

p.s. Teal actually also discusses a version of the opposite balancing technique in this video as well.
