Session 1: Session Prep
Core Exercise & AI Prompt
Exercise: Begin with reflection: Look back and describe the top-level reflection of your emotional and inner voice state, the first one you feel. This is the most recent “defined you” in your past, who you are trying to be or not be.
Now simplify into today’s workout. Who I was leads to who I am.
This step is designed to reveal engram nodes, navigational presets or alarms like a ship avoiding shallow waters. Journal your selections to reflect.
Definitions:
Begin with reflection: Looking at your memories as a mirror. There is no excuse, no blame, just memory and you. Examples: “I have been scared for too long,” “I have no idea who i am,” “Im excited and ready to do something but what,” “I cant find my passion,” “I am unhappy in this job | home | relationship | moment | etc.”
Defined you: The most power-forming story of you in your mind right now of how you believe you are being perceived in the world. Examples: “I am a hero,” “I am a coward,” “I am ugly,” “I am beautiful,” “I am everyones Idol,” “nobody loves me,” “Everyone thinks I am weird.”
Engram nodes: Navigational presets or alarms like a ship’s radar avoiding shallow waters and icebergs. These are moments of memory as story that affected you emotionally to the point of becoming navigational triggers through reality. Examples: “When my parents separated,” “When I lost someone,” “That time that bad thing happened,” “That time that good thing happened,” “when i found someone,” “When my parents loved me.”
AI API Call Prompt: “I am working on identifying unresolved issues from my past. Here are my initial thoughts: when I look at my recent self ‘[insert defined-you selection or other]’, I am wanting ‘[insert today-goal selection or other]’, my past storied location was ‘[insert old-story selection or other]’, and now I ‘[insert new-story selection or other]’. Provide a simple numerology name reading based on my name [insert name] and birth date [insert birthdate], and offer horoscope-toned guidance to address these issues.” (Use with an AI like Grok.)
