Recapitulation: How to heal your past

There is a shamanic technique called recapitulation the idea is to change the energy (attractor field) of a series of past events that had affected the way you are today.
By changing, the energy of the events then the past events are also changed and the way they affect you today will be different.
I discovered this technique by accident and I posted about it in the past. Seth in his book called “Seth Speaks” says interesting words about an equal method.

“Pretend a particular event happened that greatly disturbed you. In your mind imagine it not simply wiped out, but replaced by another event of more beneficial nature. Now this must be done with great vividness and emotional validity, and many times.
It is not a self-deception.
The event that you choose will automatically be a probable event, which did in fact happen, thought it is not the event you chose to perceive in your given probable past.
Telepathically, if the process is done correctly, your idea will also affect any people who were connected with the original event, though they can choose to reject or accept your version.“

Seth Speak, page 232.

In practice, you choose an emotion or a feeling that is impairing your life. For instance, you could take the feeling associated with procrastination.
Go in a comfortable trance state and mentally go back in your past try to find the oldest occurrence of the behavior.
Replace the event with a feeling of motivation, rewrite the scenes of the event with great emotional vividness, you have to work chronologically from the oldest to the newest.
This is the way I got rid of shyness, a reader told me, she used the method to heal the feeling she had toward a family member.
Working from the newest to the oldest can also be done , I have seen an adaptation of the method done that way by writer Stuart Lichtman but for me it doesn’t work too well that way.
The rewriting doesn’t need to be long as long as great vividness is present, only a few seconds will suffice, I was able to work about 15 years of life in just one night.
Now, if done properly one time will suffice but I think that many people would need to do it several time especially ,If important events are skipped.
There is a EFT exercise that resemble “recapitulation” it is the EFT’s personal peace procedure:

1. Make a list of every bothersome specific event you can remember. If you don’t find at least 50 you are either going at this half-heartedly or you have been living on some other planet. Many people will find hundreds.
2. While making your list you may find that some events don’t seem to cause you any current discomfort. That’s OK. List them anyway. The mere fact that you remember them suggests a need for resolution.
3. Give each specific event a title….as though it was a mini-movie. Examples: Dad hit me in the kitchen–I stole Suzie’s sandwich–I almost slipped and fell into the Grand Canyon–My third grade class ridiculed me when I gave that speech–Mom locked me in a closet for 2 days–Mrs. Adams told me I was stupid.
4. When the list is complete, pick out the biggest redwoods in your negative forest and apply EFT to each of them until you either laugh about it or “can’t think about it any more.” Be sure to notice any aspects that may come up and consider them separate trees in your negative forest. Apply EFT to them accordingly. Be sure to keep after each event until it is resolved.
If you cannot get a 0-10 intensity level on a particular movie then assume you are repressing it and apply 10 full rounds of EFT on it from every angle you can think of. This gives you a high possibility for resolving it.
After the big redwoods have been removed, go to the next biggest trees.
5. Do at least one movie (specific event) per day…preferably three…for 3 months. It only takes minutes per day. At this rate you will have resolved 90 to 270 specific events in 3 months. Then notice how your body feels better. Note, too, how your “threshold for getting upset” is much lower. Note how your relationships are better and how many of your therapy type issues just don’t seem to be there any more. Revisit some of those specific events and notice how those previously intense incidences have faded into nothingness. Note any improvements in your blood pressure, pulse and breathing ability.
I ask you to consciously notice these things because, unless you do, the quality healing you will have undergone will seem so subtle that you may not notice it. You may even dismiss it saying, “Oh well, it was never much of a problem anyway.” This happens repeatedly with EFT and thus I bring it to your awareness.
6. If you are taking medications, you may feel the need to discontinue them. Please do so ONLY under a qualified physicians advice.

Recapitulating is something interesting to do.
