AUDIO: "Good. As best you can, embrace the idea of the positive pole of the pair."

Response Options:

• As best I can, I've embraced the idea of the positive pole of the pair - discharge

• As best I can, I've embraced the idea of the positive pole of the pair - no discharge

• Shutting down | Don't want to continue | Realization

Write on Report:

(Use the names, and some abbreviations, for the pair you are addressing. For example, after seven times through this pair, fully embracing each pole each time and not just a quick peek, then it's flat):

Notes:

How to embrace the idea

Embrace the idea of the positive pole means that, without leaving your chair or doing anything too drastic, get into the frame of mind and body postures that go with the positive pole of this pair, also physically doing the gestures and mouthing the words and imagining the whole scene in the here-and-now as if this very positive stuff were really happening at the present moment. Wear the identity, the thoughts, the emotions, the attitudes. Keep up with the rubbing while doing this as best you can.

Worksheets

Write any brief comments or realizations on your worksheet.

Mark a Y to show you got off a yawn (or equivalent). x means no yawn, right near the end of the pair.

Alternate items, one discharge each

Even if you think you can get more yawns off without doing the other one of the pair, alternate them, one yawn for each. It works better like this. Near the end, it may be difficult to even get the idea of the negative one: in this case get off whatever yawns you can. It will often happen that you simply feel too good to continue the session - that's completely fine. Simply end the session, get on with life, and when you want another session take up the pair again and see if there is more you can get out of it. Maybe there will be and maybe there won't.

Pairs are dichotomies but not always exact opposites

The pairs are usually dichotomies, opposites, but not always. Use general items rather than specific ones, such as "a man/a woman" and not "Uncle Ted/Annie Johnson next door." Choose pairs of opposites as you wish, except that when a pair bites - as manifested by yawns or other obvious physical discharges - then stick with that pair until it is flat, then end the session or go on to another pair.
