DIRECTING THE AMYGDALA
Please read the article entitled, Directing Outcomes. You will find it under: 5. Vital
Distinctions to Help You Create More Effectively.
You will use this process to direct your amygdala to begin responding the way you want it
to and not the way it has been responding.
Using this technique along with the others that you have been learning about will give you the
direction, understanding and power to reprogram and retrain your amygdala within your brain.
Remember your amygdala is what controls your anxiety levels, your addictions, your
unwanted habits, your phobias, your panic, your unwanted results from past traumatic
experiences and most of your fear.
Our amygdala controls our Safety Response Switch which in most cases has become faulty
and is triggered way too soon causing our high anxiety levels, our addictions, our unwanted
habits, our phobias, our panic, our unwanted results from past traumatic experiences and
most of our fear.
This entire program in Monthly Mastery is to systematically and permanently reset our Faulty
Safety Response Switches.
We will take them from here (shown in the following diagram) - - -
Low anxiety (fear)– no alarm
SAFETY RESPONSE SWITCH
Extreme anxiety (threat – fear) alarm goes off in our bodies & minds
Normal Mid anxiety (fear)
Normal High anxiety (fear)
To here (shown in the following diagram) - - -
Low anxiety (fear)– no alarm
Mid anxiety (fear)– no alarm
SAFETY RESPONSE SWITCH
Extreme anxiety (threat – fear) alarm goes off in our bodies & minds
High anxiety (fear)
To here (shown in the following diagram) - - -
Low anxiety (fear)– no alarm
Mid anxiety (fear) – no alarm
High anxiety (fear) – no alarm
SAFETY RESPONSE SWITCH
Extreme anxiety (threat – fear) alarm goes off in our bodies & minds
What we want to do is give the amygdala, our “faulty safety response switch” legs and roots
that reach deep into the ground of ultimate safety, peace, certainty and freedom. We want to
stabilize it so it doesn’t rise to the top and explode on us whenever it feels slightly threatened.
The ways we will give it legs that anchor it to the ground will be to add each of the strategies
given in this section into our daily lives.
I hope you are taking this journey with me because it is not only thrilling but cutting-edge
technology. You will notice in the diagram that some of the roots, legs, anchors do not have
a label. That is because I have more strategies to give you. I want you to take the time to
implement each one into your life one by one. You don’t need to be in a hurry. Each strategy
will dramatically change the quality of your life and allow you feel more in control of your life
and more empowered.
It would be wise to review each of the strategies in this section on a regular basis.
Here is how I picture the implementation of each strategy and how each one anchors us into
the ground of safety, freedom, certainty and peace. (I am not a graphic designer so you have
to use some imagination with my little chart but I think you get the picture.)
I will update the chart as I add more strategies. Get excited!
