Overcoming Sabotage of PP

 Overcoming Sabotage of PP Example 4: When I do seminars I always tell the story about! the Peaceful Place sabotage that Greg experienced sitting on the beach and not being able to see the two red sails because of the brick wall. One day I received a telephone call from a 16 year old girl saying - "My Peaceful Place is totally destroyed. It's a cave, up in a mountain, and I've done it out like my house. My focal point for my Peaceful Place is my bed. My bed collapsed, and I thought back to the story about the man and the brick wall across the beach. So I decided, not to worry, I'll build a stronger bed. The steel bed collapsed. Not to worry, I sat on a carpet on the floor. The carpet flew out the window. I thought I'd give it one more try so I sat in front of the fire, but the fire spat at me. Now what do I do?"
This was a special case. I asked the young lady, what was her journey to her Peaceful Place. She had a wonderful imagination, and described how she used to line herself up in front of a hill where she could just see the windows of the cave up in the mountai! n and then she pressed a secret stone key, and the mountain opened up. She went in to the mountain and it was like Disneyland, and she got on to one of the rides, with the music going, loving every moment of it, and this ride took her all the way to the back of her Peaceful Place. I said - "Stop there. What I want you to do is to make your new Peaceful Place chair (or focal point) the seat of your musical ride."  Just to explain why this will be okay - I have measured many people on the electro-encephalograph and most of them are in the Alpha brainwave state as soon as they start their journey towards their Peaceful Place. I told her that with her imagination, I was sure she would be in the Alpha state as soon as she started her journey on the ride. Remember, the purpose of Peaceful Place is to get you to Alpha, so that you open the filter, so that you can access memory or change a habit.
