Davis Foundation for Providing Emotional Comfort for Anxiety, Depression and Stress Through Self-Hypnosis

Current Message

Message of March 3

An Inner Guide's purpose in existing is to bring you comfort. There are many different kinds of discomfort, one of which is the feeling of uncertainty. This can occur for a number of reasons. One source of uncertainty is ambivalence. Should you or should you not move? Change your job? Confront your relative? See a movie tonight? If you are of two minds about a decision you will be uncomfortable until resolution is achieved.

If you are uncertain how an external event will unfold your discomfort is stronger because it is out of your control. Will your boss give you too much work to do? Is your relative going to improve or get worse? When will the power go back on?

Perhaps the most disequilibrating discomfort occurs when you don't know what to think about something. Instead of one way or another way there may seem to be no way at all. How can you overcome a financial reverse? Find a misplaced item? Soothe a crying baby?

Your Inner Guide will work to solve all of these uncertainties. Sometimes it will deliberately allow an uncertainty to linger because the resulting disequilibration will hasten the resolution of a discomfort. But more often than not a delay is due to the overwhelming nature of the solution and the need for its novelty to wane before it can enter awareness. Your Inner Guide's overarching goal is to achieve and maintain your comfort.

For those of you who haven't established direct communication yet: upon going into trance, ask your Inner Guide which finger represents "yes." If a finger or thumb raises or tingles, then ask which finger represents "no." Even if you don't get a response, this practice will hasten the day when you do.

For those of you who have developed finger signals, think of an uncertainty you are currently experiencing and ask your Inner Guide whether it is deliberately delaying your knowledge of the solution.

For those of you who have developed automatic handwriting, think of an uncertainty you are currently experiencing and ask your Inner Guide whether it is deliberately delaying your knowledge of the solution. If it is, ask why.

I welcome your questions and comments and I look forward to hearing from you either by post or at info@davis-foundation.org. They will be anonymous unless you indicate that you would like to be named.

Best regards,

Judith M. Davis
