As I keep using this process, how can I decide which part of
my old self to change next?
Can I use this process to work on more than one aspect of
my personality at a time?Make This Meditative Process Your Own
If you continue to do all the steps every day, what used to feel like seven
steps will begin to feel simpler, with more of a flow from step to step. Like
anything you have mastered in your life, you will only get better if you
continue to meditate daily.
As for the Guided Meditation and induction techniques, you might think
of them like training wheels on a bicycle. If using them helped you while
you were learning this process, continue to listen to them for as long as they
assist you to move ahead. But once you’re so familiar with the process that
you’ve made it your own, and you feel that listening to guided instructions
is holding you back, then let them go.
Keep Peeling Away Those Layers
Making periodic adjustments to your meditations is natural and to be
expected, because you aren’t the same person you were when you began. If
you keep up the daily sessions, your state of being will continue to evolve,
and thus you will continue to recognize aspects of your old self that you
want to change.
Only you can determine when and how quickly you are ready to move
ahead. And as I’ll talk about in the next chapter, your progress will depend
not just on your meditations, but on making change an integral part of your
daily life. But in general, working on one particular aspect of yourself in
your sessions for four to six weeks will likely bring enough results that you
feel an inner prompting to begin removing another layer of self.
So approximately every month, do some self-reflection. Look to your life
for feedback on what you’re creating, and how you’re doing. You might
revisit the questions in Part III and notice any that you would now answer
