Hi John, I have a few questions about the relaxation exercise.
During the visualization part, I had a hard time visualizing the silver light fully. After that, when I tried filling the aura and creating the protective shell, I kept getting images of the shell being invaded and cracked like glass. By the grounding link exercise, the link I visualized to the earth kept getting disconnected and it was falling off my body and and I was seeing the energy pouring out of my body as well from the severed link. I also kept seeing the black/red energy coming back through the link back into my body. During the the quiet time in alpha, I found my mind racing. I listened to the recording a total of 3 tines so far and similar things have occurred each time.
During the session I practiced letting these things be, observing these reactions and not getting myself worked up, but I would appreciate if you have any thoughts on how to go forward or if there is a significance to this. I have found this issue to be pervasive for a while, in therapy as well. Anytime I do any inner visualization or inner child work. I get obsessive, panicky and doubtful about whether I'm doing it correctly as well as feeling that I'm not in control of the visuals, I will try to visualize something but my mind will put something different in, usually the opposite of my intention. Any thoughts?
