The Triple -‘T’

THE TRANSMUTATION STEP A

Now, wherever it says ‘summarized problem,’ that means that we need to read the summarized problem statement that we wrote down in ‘Pick a Problem.’ So, in this example, the problem statement is: I’m stressed about my homework assignment. So I should read that as: ‘FEEL (emotion) the stress about my homework assignment, what does that FEEL like?’

REMEMBER: What will come up with each question is an emotion, a body sensation, a thought or a mental image.

So, having read Step A, I now close my eyes, and I do it. ‘FEEL (emotion) I’m stressed at my new homework assignment… what does it FEEL like?’ And I notice the FIRST thing that comes up. Which maybe is, I notice tension in my body. So I open my eyes and I write that down: ‘Tension in my body’. Then I move on to Step B.

THE TRANSMUTATION STEP B

Part B says : ‘FEEL your answer to Step A’ (what I just wrote down), so I should read that as: ‘FEEL the tension in my body’. What happens in yourself when you feel tension in your body?

I now close my eyes and ask myself: ‘Feel tension in my body’, what happens in myself when I feel tension in my body and notice the first thing that comes up? If I noticed that I feel anxious, then I write that down. ‘I feel anxious,’ and move on to Step C.

THE TRANSMUTATION STEP C

Now part C should read as: FEEL stressed about my homework assignment, what needs to happen for this to NOT be a problem?

So, having read the question and closed my eyes, I do it. I FEEL the stress about my homework assignment, and notice the first thing that needs to happen for this not to be a problem?

Maybe I notice that I need to be calm. So I open my eyes and I write that down. I need to be calm, and I move on to Step D.

THE TRANSMUTATION STEP D

I read that as: What would you FEEL like if you were already calm?

Having read the question, closed my eyes, I do it. I FEEL the ‘calm’ and the first thing that comes up that I notice is that I would feel good.

So I open my eyes, and write that down that: ‘I’d feel good’. I then move on to Step E.

If we don’t know/can’t FEEL it, then guess what it would feel like (That solves the problem 9 times out of 10).

THE TRANSMUTATION STEP E

Step E should read as, FEEL good. What does good FEEL like?

I close my eyes and I FEEL good. I look for what ‘good’ FEELs like?

Maybe I notice that I feel more like myself. So then I move on to Step F.

If we ever don’t know, or can’t feel it, then guess what it would feel like (that solves the problem 9 times out of 10). If you can’t even guess, write the answer as, I don’t know and keep moving forward.

THE TRANSMUTATION STEP F

Read as: FEEL ‘more like yourself,’ what happens in yourself when you FEEL ‘more like yourself?’

I’ve read the question, I close my eyes, and I do it.

I notice the first thing that comes up. Maybe for example, I feel good.

I open my eyes, and write down: ‘I feel good.’ I then move on to Step G.

THE TRANSMUTATION STEP G

Read Step G as, ‘FEEL I’m stressed about my homework assignment… Does it still feel like a problem? I close my eyes, and FEEL if I’m still stressed about my homework assignment. I determine if it still FEELs like a problem? I look for the first thing that comes up. It should be a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’.

If it still feels like a problem, then click the ‘YES’ button, and it will take you all the way back to Step A, and you repeat Step A to G again. We repeat the cycle as many times as we need, until, in Step G, the problem, no longer feels like a problem and we click the ‘NO’ button.

Note: if ever you are unsure whether a problem still feels like a problem, then it probably means that it does seem like a problem a little bit, so treat it as a yes (it does still feel like a problem), and go back to Step A. We keep going until Step G becomes clear that the initial problem no longer still feels like a problem. ONLY at that point do we move on to ‘Hold my beer.’

YES

Tips: If the answer to Step C is the same every time, we need to allow our answer to change. A couple of times is okay, but if it’s over, and over, every cycle, it probably means that our mind has become fixed on it. We remind ourself to allow the answer to change. Make sure our notes state the ‘first’ thing that comes up every time, and that should solve the problem.
