Vivation is the skill of happiness.
Vivation brings breath and focused awareness together to empower
you to heal yourself on many levels. Vivation enables you to produce
superior outcomes by removing negative factors from your own subconscious.
Yet Vivation works at the feeling level. Vivation is not a
mental process. Specifically, Vivation causes integration. Integration
means experiencing a feeling honestly and embracing it fully. Integration
is the opposite of suppression. When you hide from a feeling or
try to make it go away, you are suppressing it. When you face the
feeling squarely and accept it, you are integrating it. Integration
is physical as well as mental. Each emotion is made of energy, and
the energy it contains is held away, as a separate entity, until
you integrate it. Once you integrate the emotion, its energy merges
back into your overall aliveness. In the same moment, you gain the
lesson the emotion has for you.
The breathing we use in Vivation is called Circular Breathing. It
is continuous, without pauses. The inhale is intentional and the
exhale is relaxed. Circular Breathing creates waves of energy in
your body that you can readily feel. The waves of energy massage
and caress you from the inside. Simultaneously, the waves carry
valuable information to you from your subconscious.
Vivation is more than Circular Breathing. When you learn Vivation
you learn how to create the physical energy of unconditional love
within yourself. As feelings and emotions arise during the process,
you feel them in detail and give them your unconditional love. The
unconditional love, even more than the breathing itself, creates
the results.
At first you learn Vivation from a trained teacher, your Vivation
Professional. With just a few lessons you can learn to give yourself
complete Vivation sessions whenever and wherever you wish. Each
Vivation session gives you profound insights into yourself and deep
healing of energy blockages and emotional scars. When you complete
your session, you feel refreshed, revitalized and renewed.
You can also do Vivation during other activities. This is called
Vivation in Action. Vivation in Action enables you to be more present
with whatever is going on, less emotionally reactive, and more centered
and creative. When you do Vivation in Action in the presence of
other people, no one will detect that you are doing anything unusual.
They will just think you are a particularly alert, yet relaxed,
individual.
Since I developed Vivation in 1979, I have personally facilitated
more than 45,000 Vivation sessions in twenty-one countries. Including
all the clients of all my students, more than 100,000 people have
learned to do Vivation for themselves worldwide. I have therefore
had ample opportunity to observe the results people get from doing
Vivation. Obviously different people have different situations in
their lives. Therefore the results people get from doing Vivation
are as varied as people themselves. However, I have observed certain
consistent benefits obtained by nearly everyone who learns Vivation.
These are some of the ways you can use Vivation:
Use Vivation to reduce stress.
Vivation is the stress reduction technique so effective that
the stress never comes back! Integration of emotions is permanent.
Vivation uses breathing to make a connection between your suppressed
emotions and your spiritual essence. It relaxes you and renews you
physically at the same time that it eliminates worry and negativity.
Use Vivation to solve personal
problems. You can use Vivation to solve long-standing emotional
problems and patterns of unwanted results. With Vivation, you solve
your own problems within the privacy of your own being, without
obsessing about the past or future. During Vivation you focus on
the feelings in your body, which means you bring your full attention
to the present moment. By feeling the present moment in detail,
you can explore the entire life experience of your energy body.
And only within the present moment can you give love to your injured
feelings in the way that is effective at healing them forever. During
your Vivation session, your Vivation Professional does not give
you psychological counseling or make any attempt to produce your
results for you. Instead you produce your own results and develop
your own clarity and insights.
Use Vivation to deal effectively
with grief, depression or turmoil. Everyone experiences difficult
emotions, or even depression, at one time or another. Vivation helps
immediately by generating pleasurable energy within your body. This
makes it much easier for you to integrate depression or any other
feelings you might be experiencing. Vivation allows you to experience
your feelings honestly, without being traumatized by them. Love
heals everything.
Use Vivation to improve your breathing.
Most people are not very good breathers. Circular Breathing
not only harmonizes the energy in your body immediately, but is
also the best way to breathe all the time. Circular Breathing is
relaxed and does not produce hyperventilation. What it does do is
open the energy channels of your body. The bliss you feel during
Vivation is a result of your spiritual energy flowing freely. Suppression
of emotions requires inhibition of breathing. Every time you integrate
a feeling, your breathing improves automatically.
Use Vivation to improve your relationships.
In relationships people have trouble when they don't accept
each other as they are. Unresolved emotions from childhood and later
stages of life can often be projected onto other people. Vivation
eliminates old patterns of negativity and makes it possible to see
people (including oneself) as the magnificent beings they really
are. Vivation will make you more loving while at the same time helping
you to acknowledge problems with people while the problems are still
subtle. As a result, all your relationships, with everyone, improve
dramatically.
Use Vivation to develop
your spirituality. Everyone needs spiritual renewal. Vivation
enables you to experience your own divine spirit directly, without
belief systems. Every Vivation session gives you clarity. This is
because your feeling awareness is more connected to your spirit
than your thinking mind is. Your spirit reliably knows what's best
for you. Vivation resolves your emotions and enables you to feel
the will of your spirit.
Use Vivation to feel better fast.
Whenever you're feeling bad, for any reason emotional or physical,
you can use Vivation to feel better fast. Vivation enables you to
make peace with everything you feel. Integrating a feeling causes
appropriate change to take place in your mind, body and energy.
You can integrate anger, fatigue, headache, body aches, agitation,
and even grief and depression. While complete resolution of any
of these conditions might require a complete session, even the first
few minutes of Vivation make you feel significantly better. Just
as important, Vivation also improves your perspective about what
has been bothering you. In addition to improving your emotional
state, Vivation is also an effective method for coping with physical
pain, whether acute or chronic. And it's all natural!
Use Vivation to break bad habits
and addictions. Bad habits and compulsive patterns of behavior
exist for the purpose of suppressing emotions. Integrating the suppressed
feelings eliminates the perceived need to engage in the suppressive
behavior. Often, bad habits drop away spontaneously as a result
of Vivation. With particularly troublesome habitual behaviors, make
Vivation a key part of your program of behavior modification. Vivation
has been shown to be effective in helping people in recovery from
addictions. It works well in conjunction with Twelve-Step Programs,
such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Vivation helps in recovery by freeing
people from the past, increasing motivation through enthusiasm,
and developing emotional resourcefulness to find new solutions to
old problems. It also shows you how to feel incredibly good without
resorting to the addictive behavior.
Use Vivation to cause creative
breakthrough. Vivation increases your creativity by reducing
the barrier between your subconscious creative process (from which
your dreams originate) and your conscious will. It focuses your
creativity on solving your problems appropriately. All creative
breakthrough comes about through shifting your attention from what
isn't there to what is there. That is exactly what integration is!
Every integration you achieve through Vivation gives you a creative
breakthrough. Most important, with Vivation you cause creative breakthrough
at the feeling level, thus bypassing the mental inflexibility that
made it difficult to solve the problem in the first place.
Use Vivation to achieve your goals.
Fulfilling your heart-felt desires is the most natural thing
in the world. Unfortunately, people create unnecessary difficulties
for themselves by suppressing emotions. The suppression itself consumes
time and energy, and then the suppressed emotion creates problems
by influencing your behavior inappropriately from the unconscious
level. Vivation makes your goals clearer to you, because in the
integrated state you feel the guidance of your spirit. It clears
the emotional blockage that can create struggle and self-sabotage.
Vivation makes it easy to take appropriate action with enthusiasm.
Use Vivation to raise your self-esteem.
You have self-esteem to the extent that you love yourself unconditionally.
Shame and guilt rob you of self-esteem. Vivation resolves shame
and guilt gently, thoroughly and permanently. It does not matter
where the shame or guilt came from in the first place. When you
give unconditional love to your troubled feelings, they heal themselves
spontaneously. Through Vivation you find peace of mind.
Use Vivation to live your life
to its fullest. Vivation enhances your enjoyment of everything.
It makes both pleasant and unpleasant experiences better. Vivation
brings you into the present moment, where pleasure actually exists.
There is always pleasurable energy in your body as long as you are
alive. Vivation enhances the flow of this energy and allows you
to find pleasure where you wouldn't find it otherwise. Vivation
shifts your awareness to the positive aspect of your experience.
It directly increases the flow of love energy in your body and raises
your self-esteem. This makes you realize that you deserve the good
things in life. Combined with the way Vivation solves your problems
and increases your creativity and enthusiasm for achieving goals,
Vivation enables you to live a far richer life than you possibly
could without it.
