Dear Stewart,
My name is Larry Valmore, and I am a Certified PSYCH-K Instructor.
Thank you for writing about this.
Tanya's response to you is very good. Because the Core Belief Balance
is in a real sense the beginning point of PSYCH-K (because it was the
pattern that was 'downloaded' into Rob's mind), it's better not to
mess with it. At the same time, it is quite valid to use the Balance
(assuming Commitment) to reach a goal of self-esteem, or any other
goal.
In such a case, the pattern goes like this:
1. Establish Communication
2. Pre-test the self-worth statement
3. Permission (It's safe and appropriate to balance for this goal
now.)
Test for VAK, do if necessary
Commitment (Every part of this system is ready, willing, and able to
balance for this goal using the Core Belief Balance.) If yes, then the
Core Beliefs will test in relationship to the self-esteem goal
statement.
4. Do the Core Belief Balance exactly as instructed.
5. Post-test the statement from Step 2.
6. Celebrate!
BTW, there is a technical error in your description of the Core Belief
Balance. We do not use a surrogate BP to balance for the 13 beliefs.
We discover a priority Core Belief to balance, then balance that
belief with the priority BP. The surrogate belief point idea comes in
the Relationship Balance.
Hope this helps.
