Incubating mind-body healing
:

This accessing formula draws upon the imaginative and planning functions, as well as visually-stored images of inner resources and problem-solving routines that may be encoded in previously inaccessible state-bound patterns.

Stage 1: Readiness Signal for Present Problem Review
"When you inner mind is ready to review all aspects of the problem as you are currently experiencing it,
(pause)
you'll find yourself getting more comfortable and your eyes will close.
(pause)
Review, especially, all parts of it you don't know how to deal with yet."

Stage 2: Incubating Current and Future Healing
"Now explore the future healing possibilities. How do you see yourself? How do you feel? What are you doing now that the problem is completely healed?
(pause)
Now let your inner mind review how you are going to get from the present problem,
(pause)
to the future when you are healed.
(pause)
What are some of the steps you will take to facilitate your healing?"
(pause)

Stage 3: Ratifying Mind-Body Healing
"When your inner mind knows it can continue the healing process entirely on its own, and when your conscious mind knows it can cooperate with this healing,
(pause)
you will find yourself stretching, opening your eyes, and feeling refreshed as you come full alert."

The frequent experience of emotional release that accompanies the insights and forgotten memories that come 'spontaneously' to consciousness during this routine are the typical signs of having accessed and therapeutically reframed state-bound patterns of memory, learning, and behavior. The psychological reorientation to a future when the problem is solved adds a stimulus and therapeutic frame of reference that enables people to break out of the 'present problem frame' that has limited their access to their own inner resources.
