Dynamind Results - Workshop Demonstrations

Explanation

Dr. Serge Kahili King does live demonstrations of the Dynamind Technique throughout a Dynamind Workshop. The results of most of these demonstrations are described in the pages listed below in an abbreviated form. When used, the letter "L" designates the intensity of the symptom as perceived by the subject on an imaginary scale from "0" (no pain) to "10" (intense pain). The letter "R " designates one "round," or full application of the technique as described in Dynamind Manual. The term layer, if used, refers to a working theory that physical tension occurs in layers, and that relaxation consists of relieving one or more individual layers. The term " symkey, when used, indications the addition of a symbolic image into a round.

As these are simply notes, only significant variations on the basic statement ("I have a problem and that can change; I want that problem to go away") are used, while the tapping/touching and final breath are assumed for every round. The last comment of each round gives the results of that round. The demonstrations are short - usually under a minute, and rarely over five - so not every case is carried to completion.

3. Woman who feels panic in her solar plexus when she goes into the water. Working with this information gave no results until we were able to specify the exact nature of the problem. it turned out that the woman experienced feelings of panic only when thinking about a swimming pool with blue water, two meters away, and more than four meters wide. She had no fear of a pool that was farther away, or one that had green water. Also, there was no transition in her fear. In other words, it was total panic or nothing. The panic tension was so strong that DMT could not affect it. I had to find a transition point, i.e., an experience of lesser tension, in order to begin a process of change. This happened when I suggested blue-green water. At this point the problem became a sensation like a stone in her solar plexus.
