3. Prepare Clients for Potential Blocks
Client Preparation
It helps to prepare clients for
for
potential blocks that might arise
to process authenticallyHere are sample scripts for thatSlide67
3. Prepare Clients for Potential Blocks
Sometimes while connecting to Resources, concerns or fears about the processing will arise. Unconscious fears may be expressed by the sudden arrival of a body disturbance such as unpleasant sensations,
dissociation, distracting thoughts, numbness, or sleepiness. That may or may not happen to you, but if it does, please tell me about it, even if it doesn’t seem important. You’re welcome to have concerns or fears – just let me know if they come up. I’ll want to address them right away.
Client PreparationSlide68
3. Prepare Clients for Authentic Processing
Be sure
to tell me about whatever comes up, even if you think its wrong – even if you’re confused. It might not make sense to you, but it might make sense to me. If it doesn’t – together we’ll figure it out.
We will not successfully complete this protocol if we do this over unexpressed fears or concerns, or if you don’t authentically disclose what’s coming up.

The Breath Meditation
Resource
Mobilization
There is a place inside you that’s quiet, peaceful, and still. It's always been there and you can get there by simply watching your breath. First, deliberately inhale. Notice it takes muscle tension to do this. You have to do a little work to get the air into your lungs. As you release the air notice that all you have to do is let go. Just let yourself float down, while the air leaves your body. Notice how good it feels to just let go. Take another breath, and again notice that muscle tension is needed. Then let go, and just float down.Slide84
The Breath Meditation
Resource
Mobilization
Notice that right at the bottom of your breath, right at the point where you stop exhaling, there is a moment where nothing is happening. Where all is quiet, peaceful, and still. As you breathe again, watch for that point. When you find it, just rest for a moment or two, quiet and still, not breathing. Notice what that feels like, what your mind is like - empty and calm.
N
ow as you breathe, notice you can stay connected to this calm and quiet place within you. When you’re ready, tell me what you notice. Slide85

What is a Provisional Resource (PR)?
A Resource you can use temporarily, until your Healing Circle team is established
Not as robust as NAS, PAS, & SCSLike a spare tire – can carry a light load
Provisional ResourcesSlide93
Why Connect to a Provisional Resource?
Some clients encounter deep-seated blocks when they mobilize these Resources
It helps to have at least one Resource to call on to help clear such blocks For example, a NAS can help you clear a block to connecting to a PAS
Provisional ResourcesSlide94
Why Connect to a Provisional Resource?
But
client may blocked from connecting to all three ResourcesA PR can help clear those blocks Usually very easy to connect to
