Re-Imprinting the Parents’ Timeline

1. Lay out your timeline on the floor. Get a sense of where your past lies, where your present is, and where your future extends to. Visualize a long, straight line so that your lifetime uses the full space available.
2. Step beside your timeline and move to the point just before your conception. Turn so you can see your entire timeline stretching before you.
3. As you stand before your own conception, imagine two other timelines — your mother’s and your father’s — converging before your conception. On which side is your mother’s timeline, and on which is your father’s? Whom do you want to offer your Core States to first — your mother or your father? The Core States are then integrated into the timelines of your grandparents and parents.
4. Look down your mother’s or father’s timeline to the point just before their conception. See your grandparents at that moment before your parent was conceived. How old are they approximately? (You can simply imagine this if you don’t know.)
5. Now allow the [Core States] to flow into your grandparents until they are fully filled with them.
6. Then imagine your mother or father being conceived in this environment, taking in these [Core States] from their parents. Let their timeline evolve surrounded by these Core States. Observe how the Core States continue to strengthen as your mother’s or father’s life unfolds. Let their timelines progress up to the point just before your conception.
7. Repeat steps 4–6 with the other parent. (Repeat Phase I [steps 4–6] as many times as necessary until both parents are fully filled with the Core States before continuing.) Then absorb the Core States from your parents.
8. Now step into the moment of your conception and experience yourself surrounded by the [Core States]. You are just a single cell in a universe filled with [Core States]. You can completely absorb them as you are immersed within them. As you divide into two cells, the [Core States] double; as you divide into four, they double again — continuing this way as you grow, taking in even more [Core States] from your environment. When you are ready, step forward into the moment of your birth. You are born into a family filled with [Core States]. When your parents hold you for the first time, you can absorb even more of them. Move through time at your own pace, slowly or quickly, letting the [Core States] within you grow as you continue absorbing them until you reach the present. Your unconscious can recognize how the presence of these [Core States] transforms everything in your life in helpful ways.
9. After reaching the present, continue moving into the future with these [Core States], feeling them become even stronger and more available in every situation. (Repeat steps 8–9 as often as you wish to benefit most from this phase. Vary the speed — from a few minutes to just a few seconds. If you are reading these instructions aloud to someone moving quickly through their timeline, read as much as you can in the time available.)

Rooting the Core States

10. You can, in a single moment, return to your conception and move forward again through your entire past. This time, your parents act as they did in “real life,” with the difference that you now carry the [Core States] within you. Notice how this transforms your entire past. Move through this step quickly, so that new connections form easily and deeply within your unconscious. As you reach the present, feel how the [Core States] radiate into your future, transforming everything yet to come. (Repeat step 10 as often as desired to strengthen the rooting. Again, vary the pace.)
11. Now that your past, present, and future are infused with these [Core States], you can let your new timeline flow naturally in whatever way feels most right for you as you move forward into your future. The more your past and future are filled with [Core States], the more vividly you can experience them here and now.
