My Body is a Wellness Machine

You roll your eyeballs up, keep them there, close the lids, then let your eyes relax while they stay shut. The teacher says this takes you into an alpha state where you are open to suggestion in a good way. She treats it as a one-minute practice run: if you can do that, you can do the rest.

Direct, instruct, command, code and compel. You say them as "I direct, I instruct, I command, I code, I compel this to work perfectly, exactly as nature intended." In the session you pick one area, such as skin, vision or memory, and name it in the sentence.

As the vortex reaches your ears and mouth, you are asked to notice the words you use about yourself. The idea is that phrases like "my headache" or "my illness" reinforce what you don't want, so you say "I am doing wellness" instead. The belief you repeat is "my body does wellness, always wellness, only wellness."

When the vortex reaches your heart, you are invited to look at it with kindness. The session compares it to a bodybuilder who builds muscle by first breaking it: a heart that has been broken has grown back bigger. The scars are likened to wabi-sabi, adding beauty, and you affirm a functional heart with a great capacity to love.

Near the end you are told to praise your body, be grateful for it, hydrate, get enough sleep and eat better. Before that, you spend a minute thinking about what your body does: legs that carry you, eyes that see, arms that hold people you love.

The vortex leaves through two valves in the soles of your feet, taking old beliefs with it, and you are told you can reapply it anytime. You can say the command in short, specific lines, like "I direct my skin to work perfectly," while walking around or travelling. You can also ask the vortex to keep working while you sleep.
