1. Say: “In this garden/beach, you can remember everything. To show you this, let us begin going back in time, at first a little bit, and then more and more. In a few moments, I'll count backward from five to one. Let a childhood memory come to you. If you wish to keep it a pleasant memory, that's all right, or it can be a memory that teaches you something or that has some value in releasing it now. Let yourself remember completely, with feelings, with sensations, using all of your senses. If you ever feel uncomfortable, you can always detach from it and float above the scene or the memory. You can float and watch from a distance. But if you're not uncomfortable, stay with the memory and remember it vividly. You'll be able to talk from that deep state and yet stay in a deep, deep level and continue to experience. But now as I count backwards, let the memory focus in vivid detail, using all of your senses. A childhood memory. Five, four . . . you can remember everything . . . three . . . focus now . . . two . . . it's all there . . . one. Be there! For a few moments, re-experience this; remember it. You'll be able to talk and tell me what you're experiencing, and yet continue to stay in a deep, deep level, continuing to experience.”
2. Ask: “What are you experiencing now? What do you see now?” Wait for a response.
3. Ask: “What are you wearing?”
4. Ask: “How old are you?”
5. Ask: “Is there sadness/happiness with this memory?”
6. Say: “Just experience it. It's vivid; you can be right there. You can even, if you want, hear what is happening around you.” At this point, you will need to bring in the other people, cut the cords with them, or do an inner child healing.
