The Color Process

You can also effectively send implied communications to your Unconscious and receive replies in terms of changes in your body or your awareness.

For example, here’s a rather reliable way of “curing” headaches through Framing (which I’ll explain in a minute) and Dialoguing.

I call it The Color Process.

Try this the next time you have a headache.

Focus on the headache and imagine it has a color. Determine what that is and record it on paper.

Then imagine that the headache has a physical volume and determine how much water it would take to fill it. Record what that is.

Next imagine that the headache has a temperature that you can measure and record that temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Centigrade. Record what that is.

Finally, imagine that the headache is making a sound and record what that is. Repeatedly do this process until the headache disappears.

Normally, this requires 3 to 5 cycles and, in the process for example, the color goes from red or black to clear, the liquid volume will go to zero, the temperature will go from high to low and the sound will go from an agonizing or complaining one to a gentle and soothing one or none at all. And when you reach that point, you’ll usually find that your headache has disappeared.

In that process, you’re doing two things that make the Color Process work.

First, in order to imagine the color, volume, temperature and sound of the headache, you must intensely focus on your experience of the headache for some time. In the process, you very effectively Frame the headache, indicating clearly to your Unconscious what’s of interest to you.

In other words, you’re consciously separating your headache from everything else in your conscious awareness.

However, there is one more important aspect of the Color Process that I haven’t yet described and it is really key.

The headache was a message from your Unconscious to your Conscious Mind. Think of it as the ringer on your telephone. When your phone rings, it will continue ringing until either you answer it or your voicemail system does.

In similar fashion, when you actually consciously receive the message from your Unconscious, the headache stops.

Of course, the ringing tone is not the message just as the headache is not the message. You can usually greatly benefit by actually getting the message that your Unconscious is trying to send to your Conscious Mind when it gives you a headache.

That’s usually pretty easy to do once you have repeatedly Framed the headache sufficiently so that your Unconscious dissolves it.

Just focus on the center of your chest, your Heart Chakra, and silently say to your

Unconscious, “What is the message that you were sending me when you sent the headache?”

The answer will usually immediately pop into your Conscious Mind. Record that answer on paper and then, in similar fashion, ask your Unconscious, “Is what I wrote down the message you sent?”

If the answer is, “yes,” your conscious job is to consider and, if appropriate, act on that message.

If the answer is, “no” or “maybe,” ask your Unconscious to give you the real message, record it and check whether that’s what it sent. Usually one or two times through this cycle, which I call a Tune-Up, will get you the real message.

Congratulations. If you did what I suggested, you have just consciously Dialogued with your

Unconscious.

Getting back to the Color Process, it really works. No kidding!

For example, the other day I accompanied Gloria, my wife, to the local BMW

dealership because her lease had expired and she had to decide whether to buy her car out of the lease or to lease a new one.

After helping Gloria to Frame what she liked about her favorite car of all time, a yellow Mercedes 450SL convertible that she owned some years ago, my job was done. When we arrived at the BMW dealer, I gave her space to explore the available cars with one of the salesmen, a knowledgeable and courteous Russian fellow named Pavel. I didn’t want to influence her choice because, being a “car nut,” a former sports car racer, I have strong opinions about cars.

While waiting, I saw a couple of middle aged female sales people sitting outside. So, with nothing else to do, I walked up and said, “Hi. Beautiful day but a little warm isn’t it?” One of them answered, “It’s hot and I have a terrible headache. I wish I had some Advil but I don’t.” I replied, “I don’t have any either but would you like to try

something a little nutty that will probably resolve your headache?”

Somewhat timorously, she said, “Yeeeessssss.” So I led her through the “Color Process” a few times. In three minutes, no more headache and her Unconscious had told her to drink two glasses of water.

By the way, Gloria found her “perfect” car, a white BMW 328i hardtop convertible with the sports suspension that she’s named Aspen. Driving it she’s like a kid again, which gives me great pleasure. (And, while I think Aspen is a neat car that I feel comfortable driving, I’ll continue to be very happy driving my Porsche Cayman S which I’ve named Chloe. I’m astounded by and really like the precision of everything “she” does.)

Of course, I often think of Gloria as a big kid in adult clothes which makes her both extremely empathetic with children and wonderful to be with. My children think of me as a big kid so maybe that’s one reason Gloria and I have so much fun living together.
