Instantaneous Trauma Release or The "Spinner" Technique

Reposted from The Tao of Staas Blog

Does this happen to you? You are having a great day and then you see something, hear something, or are told something and that completely changes your mood and derails your day. You try not to think about it or shift your attention to something positive, yet you simply can't let go of the upsetting experience. Here is an easy and very fast spiritual technique that creates an instant relief from a fresh emotionally-charged event. It was developed by Zivorad M. Slavinsky, and is affectionatly called "The Spinner." This process can be done standing or utilizing a spinning office chair.

1. Think and replay in your mind the upsetting experience. Find a peak moment in your mind video (with a lot of charge) and create a static snapshot of it. This can be an emotional charge, visual charge or a body feeling charge.
2. Rate the upsetting experience on a scale of 0-10, 10 being the most upsetting.
3. Now close your eyes and imagine that you see this STATIC emotionally-charged snapshot in front of you.
4. Then, use an index finger of your dominant, leading hand, extend your hand and stick your index finger right in the middle of that snapshot.
5. Keep your eyes closed. Now standing or sitting on the chair, start turning counter-clockwise. Focus on your feelings while pulling in front of you a completely STATIC visual snapshot at the end of your extended finger. It's very important to keep the image static (not a moment before, nor the moment after), swinging it around at the end of your finger and allowing yourself to feel as intensely as possible. Don't worry, it's a very easy and short process.
6. Keep spinning counterclockwise, to the left, until you turn 3.5 times, while pulling the image at the end of your extended finger. Spin as fast as you can, comfortably without getting dizzy or nauseous, but not too slow either. Again, the snapshot must be static, outside not inside your body. It is better to actually picture yourself in the snapshot (as opposed to looking through your own eyes at the upsetting experience).
7. Now, re-evaluate the charge to the experience on a scale from 0-10. If it's not completely gone, run the process again.
8. Otherwise, if it's rated 0-1, imagine a sun above your head that fills you with light from the top of your head to your feet.

You may experience a state of confusion, but this is normal. Where there used to be an emotional reaction, now there is emptiness, and it can be a bit disorienting. But don't worry allow this new state to spread through your whole body with the light. Now even though you remember the experience, you are not affected by the emotional reaction it created.

Good luck with erasing unpleasant memories!
