FDS: Instructions

AUDIO: (No audio)

Response Options:

• Great! Let's do the full pre-session check to make sure I'm ready for the session.

• I'm familiar with what is needed and I am fully sessionable. I've set up the session environment. Let's go!

Notes:

PaulsRobot FDSing not for beginners

This False Data Stripping module is not really a beginner's module. There are three things the user needs to be familiar with in order to get good results from this module:

The theory of False Data Stripping and how it works
The usual Rub & Yawn procedure and how it is used in PaulsRobot sessions
The phenomena that accompany a "blow", a sudden lessening of charge.

The first two are fairly obvious, but the third one isn't. It could be that the only way to get familiar with it is to do the procedure a bit and find out that way by trial and error.

Common error

The usual error is that one continues on past the point where one should have ended off, and one is trying to work with something that isn't there any more. Nothing drastic is likely to happen if one does this, other than feeling that there is something wrong with the procedure as it isn't working out properly. So just be aware that this is a possibility if things start going wrong in session.

Theory of FDSing

The theory of FDSing is here.

You might not need FDSing

Before assuming that you need FDSing, check out this page first.

Rub & Yawn

It is assumed that you are already familiar with Rub & Yawn and have had successful sessions using it. And that before starting a session you will have taken the necessary steps to be fully sessionable.

Notes (continued):

FDS end points

The different FDSing end points are covered here.

Before starting the session

It is assumed that you know enough to only start the session when you have had enough sleep and are not tired; you have eaten enough good food (not junk food) and you are not hungry or thirsty; you are not under the influence of drugs or alcohol; you have set up a safe auditing environment and are not going to be disturbed by outside factors while you are in session (also turn off your mobile phone, radio etc.); and you have enough time for the session.

Shutting down

If you feel yourself shutting down, recognize it as such. Hit the red Shutting Down link, and then rub stuff and yawn for as long as needed to get rid of the shutting down. End off dealing with the shutting down when you can rub away for a full minute by the clock without getting any more yawns. Close out the Shutting Down window, and continue the process where you left off.

If you feel you need some energy exchange during the session, but aren't particularly shutting down, that's OK, your choice. Make a note in your worksheets, and just start rubbing and yawning away. Once you start rubbing, rub for a full minute by the clock without any yawns before ending off, though.

Have a written session plan before you start the session

You should have a written session plan before you start. Here are half a dozen examples you might find useful. You can write this yourself if you don't have someone else acting as your session supervisor. The reason for writing it is so that you know exactly what you will be doing in the session, and don't go off on some wild tangent. You should not do a session without a written session plan which you keep to in session. If the session plan turns out to not be working in session, then end off the session and write a different session plan outside of session. Why? In a heavy session one's analytical thinking powers will be tied up with dealing with the session phenomena and there won't be enough clear thinking ability remaining to make a sensible plan on the spot. Outside the session one can usually think much straighter.

Use the Robot commands

These sessions go much better if you follow the instructions and allow the Robot to give the commands and run the session. If you stop clicking the links and try to do it all in your head instead it really doesn't work so well.
