Core Image Work and Phobias

After another bout of shouting at the sky yesterday, storm clouds rolled in… and missed me by miles. Stupid weather.

Anyway, if you’ve read Practical Psychic Self Defense (which has about five pages of practical self defense and two hundred pages of theory) you know about core image work. The idea isn’t exactly a New Age thing – it’s a method of psychological healing. I’ll walk you through it.

There are memories in our heads that are just plain nasty. We may not even consciously remember them, or realize what effect they have on us. However, these ‘core images’ can do a lot of damage. That’s why it’s best to get rid of them.

What you do is meditate. I know – meditation sucks. I always lose focus after a while, although it helps if I’m outside. Still, do the best you can. Probe around in your mind if you know a specific bad memory. Otherwise, just let them rise to the surface. To test if an image is infected – that’s the best word for it, really – mentally flip it over. If it won’t flip, it’s party time.

While visualizing, the thought is the deed. Imagine holding a sword and a torch. Slash whatever nastiness (I see metallic roots) wrapped around the memory to pieces and burn the pieces. I like to pour some bleach over the picture as well, just to be sure.

Why does one do this? You might ask. Typically, it’s done to remove negative energy from the body. However, I have an annoying phobia. It’s nothing life threatening, just a pain in the butt. Anyway, I knew the exact root of my phobia, so I decided to try core image work to get rid of it. I’ve only done two sessions, but I think it’s working. This just supports my theory – psionics and other sciences aren’t separate worlds. They can bleed into one another. For once, I’m getting some use out of it.
