 “I was watching the Green Mile on Netflix last week and you know as I was watching it I was thinking that I haven’t seen Michael Clarke Duncan in any new movies for a long time. So I googled his name and I found out that he had actually died...”

“He seemed to be pretty healthy until he suddenly had a heart attack and died... I felt so bad reading about it because I knew exactly the pain that his family members had to go through... because not long along my Grandpa passed away with me sitting right beside him on his deathbed...”

“I remembered him holding my hand and told me in a frail voice that he was very scared to die... and as I was sitting there looking at him, with all the tubes going into his nose, arms and body, looking very frail and there was fear, real fear in his eyes...”

“At that moment I wondered what it must feel like when you’re going to die... what flies across your mind, like, the things you had always wanted to do but didn’t... like, did you have the courage to quit your job and chase after your dreams... or, like, did you risk it with the person that you have fallen in love...”

“Losing my Grandpa haunted me for a long, long time... and yet it made me realize what I truly treasure in life... that I must take chances if I really want to be happy...”

Start to imagine what you would do if your best friend suddenly dies in an unfortunate accident? Can you imagine the grief and emotional suffering that bites you inside the very core of your soul?

“Then, a friend gave me this old book passed to him by a Buddhist monk in Tibet, and according to this book, we as humans need to suffer through pain in order to fully appreciate the pleasures in life.”

“What my friend taught me was also this meditation technique that the Buddhist monk had shown her. When done correctly, it will reveal to you your hidden self, and a path to enlightenment, happiness and eternal fulfillment.”

“According to the monk, enlightened beings have this ability to see the color of a feeling, or a musical note, or a particular taste in food. I can show you how this is done. First, close your eyes.”

“What I want you to imagine right now is that you’re in the middle of a field... and you see a large field with some big, juicy, tasty strawberries. Picture this in your mind... a large field with lots of red strawberries. Now I want you to tell me, what do you see?”

“Now look at the strawberries. How do they look like?”

She might say: “Big, red and really luscious looking.”

“Now imagine yourself picking some of those red, luscious strawberries, and then walking up to one of those big trees. You sit down under the tree and start eating them. How do they taste?”

She might say: “They are nice, wet and juicy... they are very tasty.”

“How do you feel as you taste the nice, wet and juicy strawberries inside your mouth? Do you feel the passion and excitement as you continue eating the big, red, luscious strawberries?”

“Yes.”

“Now feel this passion inside your body right now. Picture it clearly in your mind right now, and feel it right now inside your body.”

“Where is this feeling in your body?”

She might say: “On my chest.”

“You feel that feeling of passion on your chest. Now make it flow downwards in your body. Where is it now?”

“It’s flowing down to my stomach... and to my legs...”

Encourage her. “OK, good. Now feel it around your inner thighs... and back upwards, into your stomach, and up your chest again, and now slowly... up your neck and into your arms and face.”

Periodically, reaffirm her and ask her how it feels again with suggestions: “Good. How does it feel now? Does it tingle?”

“OK, now I want you to concentrate on this feeling, and you are starting to notice that this feeling is turning into a color. Tell me... what color is it?”

She might say: “Red.”

“Now with each breath you take, the red feeling gets a little warmer and intense... it gets brighter and brighter as you breathe...”

Now, say: “I am now holding this red ball of energy here in my left hand... and see in my mind that this ball of energy getting brighter and bigger as I put it on your body...” Now press your palm on her body.

“Now as I pull it away, the feeling goes away slowly... and slowly...until it’s gone.” Pull your hand away. Repeat this cycle so that she fractionates, getting deeper and deeper into trance as you along.

Say, for example: “Now I am bringing the feeling back and closer to you, and this feeling gets more intense... and the closer we get, the stronger the feeling gets... the red color of the feeling becomes brighter and brighter as it pulsates inside your body... close your eyes and take a deep breath as this feeling now moves and creates ripples all over your body... feel and enjoy it as it becomes even warmer and more intense.”

“Now I want you to recall the saddest and most painful experience that you have ever had. For example, the death of my Grandpa was completely devastating to me... so I want you to remember a similar experience. Just remember it clearly in your mind... and you don’t have to tell me what it is. It is something painful that has happened to you in the past... and something that has perhaps scarred you for the rest of your life.”

“This is painful and yet I want you to know that you’re becoming better because of it. So we’ll go through this together to help you get over it. Now, as you are starting to feel the pain, where in your body do you feel it?”

She might say: “In my head... it feels like I’ve got a throbbing headache.”

Reaffirm her. Say, “OK, your head feels painful. Now where is the feeling going next?”

She might say: “It’s going down to my stomach... I feel a little nauseous.”

Again, reaffirm her, and continue to lead her. “Good. This is natural. Now, is it flowing downwards? To the lower parts of your body, like your groin, inner thighs, calf and your feet?”

“Yes.”

“Now imagine the pain swirling around the lower part of your body, and moving back up to your stomach. How do you feel now?”

“I feel horrible... I feel sick...”

“OK, don’t worry, I’ll make it go away for you. Now I want you to focus on that feeling in your stomach right now... imagine it turning into a swirling energy with a certain color.... what color is it?”

“Purple.”

“Good. Now I want you to make that energy bigger slowly.... and it’s growing and growing until it completely fills your body,

from top to down.” Pause for a couple of seconds for effect.

For example, you can say: “Now, imagine that I am putting all that pain in my left hand and it turns into this Purple ball of energy in my hand. Now pay attention to this Purple ball as I take it away from you...” At this point, move your left hand away from her chest. “Feel the intensity of the Purple energy diminish as I move it away from you.... it’s becoming weaker and weaker as it moves even further away from you...” You’re in effect placing an anchor on her by associating the pain with the “outside world”, away from you and her.

Next, hold both her hands and say: “To get rid of this pain, let’s throw it up in the air and let it vanish into thin air. Feel the burden lifted from your shoulders as the Purple ball of pain disappears!”

Following the previous step, you can say: “Now with the Purple ball of energy gone and vanished into thin air, I want you to recall the Red ball of energy... the one which is filled with intense pleasure, happiness and joy... and I want you to shrink the Red ball into this small Red pill which you are now holding in your left hand.”

Continue to manipulate the positive sensation: “Now place the Red pill in the palm of my left hand. It’s a small pill containing all the pleasures that you have ever experienced in your life... all packed inside this pill. It’s very powerful and intense.”

Next, place more anchors by touching her. “Now as I touch you in your wrist like this, feel the sensation going into your wrist, up your arms, into your chest and move upwards to your face...” Lightly, trace the path of the sensation from the wrist, arm, chest and finally brush against her face lightly. “Notice wherever I touch, you can feel this sensation spreading, and it gets more powerful and intense as it moves throughout your body...” Continue tracing the sensation around her body.

To further intensify the sensation, you can say: “Surrender to this feeling as it moves throughout your body.... and the more surrender, the more pleasurable you feel... it gets stronger and stronger as you give in to the feeling... now your body is filled with deep joy and pleasure as you surrender to the feeling...”

“All the time you feel that you have to put up a mask to face the society and act in a certain way which is deemed to be acceptable by other people... but at the same time you feel that there’s a hidden part inside of you with fantasies and desires that are frowned upon by the society.”

“I have this hunch about you that nobody else has... most of the people who know you don’t know that there are two sides to your personality. Am I right?”

She nods.

“The real you is the side that nobody else sees... it’s the part with all the dreams and fantasies that you imagine only when you’re with yourself and no one else... that’s when you can be the REAL you... and there’s nobody else who will judge you for your dreams, desires and fantasies. These are the desires that you cannot even tell your best friend. You’ve held back all these wild fantasies and yet you have the yearning to fulfill your dreams and fantasies despite what others may think or say to you.”

“Now I want you to take this part of you and imagine her as a person, and she’s looking at you in the mirror. What do you see?

Do you see... Persephone? Notice just how happy, carefree and fulfilled she is... and how she seems to carry this air of confidence and contentment as she smiles at you. Now imagine a color surrounding her and flowing out in your direction... tell me, what

color is it?”

She might say: “Orange.”

“Continue to close your eyes and imagine the image of Persephone as vividly as you can. Now, reach out your right hand and touch the mirror. Imagine that this woman is doing the same on the other side of the mirror. Now I want you to see the Orange ball of energy from Persephone’s hand move into your hand, and it slowly goes up your arms, and into your body.”

Then, “merge” the reflection with your target. “As the Orange ball of energy moves into your body, feel the woman’s soul merge into yours... slowly becoming a part of you... you are becoming her, and seeing things from her eyes. Notice what it’s like to experience the world through this new part of you... through Persephone’s eyes...”

To deepen the experience, run another round of Fractionation for full effect. Say, for example, “Tell me how it feels with this Orange energy now filling you up with intensity and warmth? Breathe slowly, and with each breath, feel the aura of Orange energy getting warmer and more intense as you let the soul of the reflection form a part of your very own soul... with the Orange energy getting a little brighter and warmer as you continue to experience sheer joy and pleasure...”

Then, reach out your left hand and place it on her chest. “Now I will take some of that Orange feeling here on your chest, and I want you to imagine I am capturing the energy and turning into this Orange ball of energy, right here on my left hand.”

Next, proceed to manipulate the symbol. “Now, take a deep breath, and continue to relax. Imagine this Orange ball of energy getting bigger and bigger as I raise it up in the air.” Raise your left hand slowly in the upwards direction, and at the same time, take a deep breath.

“Now, it gets smaller... and smaller...” Breathe out, and lower your hand slowly. Repeat the two steps above a couple of times until you sense that she is falling back into trance. As you will no doubt notice, this mini-Sequence itself is Fractionation as you manipulate the symbol and make it grow bigger and smaller in succession, varying its brightness and intensity.

To further induce her into deeper trance, say the following:

“Now, pay attention as I want you to notice as I pull the Orange ball of light away from you, and you’re feeling that it’s being taken away from you... it’s no longer as strong, and slowly it’s fading away...” While you say this, move your hand as if you’re pulling the Symbol away from her.

“Now as I bring this energy back and into your body, you feel its warmth and intensity yet again, and it’s growing in intensity and it throbs like it has a life of its own, and you can feel my hand touching your body as your hidden desires and fantasies slowly come alive... you have become Persephone.”

“Continue to relax, breathe in, breathe out... and feel the new soul of Persephone taking over... and let yourself assume this new soul and enjoy the moment when you embrace your true self... this is real and true... you are Persephone.
