If you had 24 hours to spend alone, with no TV, phone or computer, how would that be for you? Would you find it relaxing, or would it drive you nuts to sit for a day in the quiet? Assuming the place was comfortable and restful, would you spend the day looking for some way to distract yourself or would it be easy for you to hang out for a day, watching Nature or reading or just sitting in the quiet.
If just the idea of this drives you nuts, you may be plagued by your thoughts. In our lives, we all have experiences that cause us to form our beliefs about “how life is.” Something as simple as being told we are bad when we are small can stick with us for a lifetime. Events can lead to thoughts that lead to happiness or unhappiness. Remember your first kiss? Remember a time someone was really mean to you? It could be 50 years ago, but you can remember the feeling like it was yesterday.

Years go by, and feelings harden into beliefs, many of which make us unhappy because we believe they are true. Just as a child who is bitten by a dog grows up as an adult afraid of all dogs, we identify with our beliefs.
This is where TAT comes in. It is a form of energy psychology that helps us to disengage from the emotional attachment and identification with a way of thinking or being. It even addresses the belief: this will never change. It can. TAT has given many people hope and more. I hope you will try it. www.tatlife.com or www.sukoshirice.com to find out more or schedule an appointment.
