Similar to hypnosis in some ways - and yet hypnosis is not used - Zensight Process is a new self-help energy work that is already being used all around the world due to its speed, gentleness, ease of use, and effectiveness. This article outlines the basics of how to use Zensight to heal even pervasive and persistent anxiety.
Rachel looks in the mirror and notices a mark on her cheek. Immediately her breath becomes shallow, her heart races, and her chest tightens. She checks the spot more closely, and sees that it's just a speck of dirt. She washes it off and tells herself firmly that she is fine - it wasn't the beginning of skin cancer. It was nothing.
Hours later, Rachel still doesn't feel okay. What if seeing that spot was a "sign"? What is she is about to develop skin cancer? What if she already has skin cancer? Recurring thoughts of cancer stay in her thoughts for days or weeks afterwards.
Like an estimated 13-16.5% of adults, Rachel has an anxiety disorder. .
Zensight Process offers new hope to those with anxiety. In many cases, a practitioner who is very skilled with both Zensight and in working with those with anxiety, can help someone to experience dramatic improvement, in just a few sessions.
In most situations, many individuals will be able to use Zensight on their own - without ever consulting a practitioner at all - and still experience considerable reduction in their anxiety levels.
How to Use Zensight Process
With Zensight Process we begin by creating a "healing symbol". This symbol can be a word, picture, or colour. Some people choose to use a symbol such as "ocean", and may simply focus on the word or may visualize the ocean. When this healing symbol is used or focused upon with intent, it allows the fears, concerns, and "blocks" that someone is experiencing to gently heal and transform.
The healing symbol is then used together with healing statements and visualization, to soften, dissolve and release the concerns that are being experienced.
The individual is instructed to stop and notice any visual image that comes to mind when she or he thinks about a specific concern - and then focus upon this image while connecting with the healing symbol that was chosen.
What generally happens is that the image spontaneously transforms in a way that feels better. Verbal healing statements are used to accelerate this process, if needed. After each statement, the healing symbol is focused upon.
Examples of healing statements are:
I heal all of the fears that any parts of me have, that I can't get free of this problem
I heal any and all feelings that any parts of me have, that I am trapped.
All of the different parts of me now experience a growing sense of peace and comfort.
My entire body is relaxing now.
Sound simple? It is - extremely simple, and yet powerfully and deeply effective. Best of all, the effects are lasting. When energetic imbalances are also addressed, results will in most cases be permanent.
Energy Balancing
Someone who experiences frequent and/or pervasive feelings of fear has an imbalance in his or her triple warmer meridian, which governs the body's fight/flight/freeze response. In short, the triple warmer meridian has become overenergized.
When the triple warmer is overenergized, trying to talk someone out of intense fear or anxiety usually has little effect. Rachel rationally knows that the mark on her face was simply dirt and was no more an indicator of cancer than is a stain on her jeans. However, in spite of this awareness, Rachel can not let the fear go.
The problem that Rachel is experiencing is not in her mind so much as in her body and in her energy system. Rachel knows that she is safe - but her body and energy system need to know it too. In a sense, they need to be reprogrammed. With Zensight, this "reprogramming" can occur gently and easily during a rapid yet extremely relaxing process.
The emphasis which Zensight Process places upon using both visualization and verbal "healing statements" ensures that both hemispheres of the brain are involved during the healing process. This assists people in linking logic with emotion. After using Zensight, not only does Rachel logically understand that the spot on her face was not a sign of impending doom - she emotionally "gets it" as well, and has taken the first step towards leaving her difficulties with anxiety behind.
