Active Deconditioning

Active Deconditioning helps when resistance, contractions, or distractions arise that seem to pull you away from your underlying experience of fundamental wellbeing. Rather than fighting against these experiences, you learn to gently embrace them.

What it is

A technique for working with anything that seems to interrupt or compete with your access to fundamental wellbeing.

When to use it

• When resistance or contractions arise
• If you're distracted by thoughts, emotions, or sensations
• Any time you feel pulled away from the underlying experience

How it works

1. First stabilize in ease, peace, or fundamental okayness
2. Then either:
   • Lean into the resistance/contraction, or
   • Pull it into your field of peace/ease
3. Sit with whatever arises for a minute or two
4. Notice if anything has changed
5. If still being pulled away from the underlying experience, repeat the process

Important notes

• This is a normal part of the process - nearly everyone encounters experiences that require dedicated time with this technique
• Some sessions may need to focus entirely on Active Deconditioning, with no Shifting
• There's no rush - take as much time as needed with each round
• Continue until the resistance either clears away or becomes part of the underlying peace/ease
• This might take multiple sessions - that's completely normal and nothing to worry about
