Swimming Through Space Session 4 - Memory Banking – The Shift from Imagination to Direct Access

The use of vivid imagery to induce a new feeling state is only step one in the Feelization process, Memory Banking that induced feeling is the next critical component of the process.

In the first stages of this Swimming Through Space program, we rely on the power of "Feelization." We use vivid imagery to bypass the over-thinking, conscious mind. We trick the nervous system into organizing the body's fascial web to match the imagined environment.

But these visualizations, while powerful, are ultimately just training wheels.

Whether you engaged in a challenging activity, or facing an immediate physical threat, you do not have the luxury of time. You cannot pause to imagine yourself rooted like a tree and/or floating like a balloon before you align your posture. You need instant, "zero-inertia" access to your Whole Body Tensegrity.

By Memory Banking the feeling states we induce in our practice we can soon recall the state directly without the need of the 'hack' to induce it.

Welcome to the process of Memory Banking.

Here is the protocol, as outlined in today's guided video:
