Transforming Core Beliefs

By Sasha Allenby

Last month we introduced Matrix Reimprinting, a new meridian tapping technique created by Karl Dawson that has far-reaching, positive effects on both physical and emotional health. This month we are going to explore how it can be used to rewrite our core-beliefs.

The work of cell biologist Dr Bruce Lipton highlights how our beliefs are formed in the first six years, and how these early beliefs continue to affect us in adulthood. In his book The Biology of Belief, Dr Lipton explains why the first six years are so crucial. During that time our brains are mostly in aDelta or Theta, preconscious state. This is the same state the hypnotherapists drop their clients into, to make them more suggestible. This hypnogogic state means that in that time we download the world around us as though it was the absolute 'truth'. If this truth is that we are bright, beautiful, special, loved and valued then positive core-beliefs are formed. But if we hear, experience or witness things or situations which tell us the opposite - that we are stupid, worthless, unsafe, unloved or unvalued - that is how we go onto perceive ourselves throughout life, until we transform our core-beliefs.

It's those beliefs formed in your early childhood that may be preventing you from living your life to the full in the present. And they affect you subtly or obviously. It might be that you don't go for that promotion you know in your heart that you always wanted, that there is a fear around advertising your business, or that you stay in a relationship that is not serving you. Whatever you are consistently doing that is sabotaging your success, can often be traced back to your core-beliefs.

So lets take a look, from a Matrix Reimprinting perspective, at how these beliefs are formed and more importantly, how they can be transformed. In Matrix Reimprinting we believe that our life experiences, both negative and positive, are held as 'pictures' in the Matrix, and that we subconsciously tune into these pictures, which affect our health, our wellbeing and our behaviour on every level. If we have lots of traumatic, negative life experiences, then we have lots of negative pictures that we keep tuning into. And the trouble is that our subconscious mind is not time-framed like our conscious mind, so when it tunes into a negative picture from the past it does so with the same perception as if that event was happening in the present. That is how we can sometimes feel 'triggered' often for no apparent reason, and begin to express a behaviour that is unresourceful.

The thing is, our early life experiences don't need to have been severely traumatic to create negative pictures. Often, especially in the case of core-beliefs, it is the 'small t' traumas, that happened repeatedly that told us we were not good enough, worthy, safe, valued, and so on, that create these core-beliefs. When are participants undertake the core-belief work on our Matrix Reimprinting training, most of them are running one of the negative core-beliefs at a very high rate, and it is always an eye-opener for people to learn that their seemingly confident or outgoing fellow participants are running 'I'm unloveable', 'The world is a dangerous place', 'something must change for me to be OK', and so on, at a high intensity. The good news is, that when we work on the relevant memories that created these beliefs, they can quickly transform.

With Matrix Reimprinting we have found that if you tap on specific points on the body's meridian system whilst focusing on a negative core-belief, it helps you to tune into the life experiences that created it. You can then use Matrix Reimprinting to go back to that point in time, give your younger self new resources, say or do the things you wished you had said or done, and transform the negative core-belief into a positive one. All this is carried out whilst tapping on points on the meridian system, to release the trauma from the subconscious mind, the body and the matrix simultaneously. When you tune into and resolve the memory or memories that created the core-belief, you will be amazed at how quickly someone goes from believing they are 'flawed' at 80%, for example, to that belief only resonating with them at 20% after transforming one or two memories. And it is relatively easy to get the belief down to a zero and for it to have no emotional resonance with a person anymore.
