You apply The Process when you feel any form of discomfort. You basically dive right into it and FEEL it in your body. Not as much intellectually, with your logic. Then you say certain phrases in order to reclaim your power from it. I'm sure you can find more detailed description on the internet, but I think it's much better (for me it was) if you read the chapters that lead up to The Process first. It will be much more fun that way.

I figured I'm probably gonna have to apply The Process to the same situation / discomfort / emotion more than once. I was just curious how long do people usually take each time. I see it can vary greatly, from seconds to over an hour.

If I'm alone, I'll just say it out loud (something like "I recognise that I created this situation with my beliefs and expectations, and I'm grateful that my reality is so responsive. Now I'm going to remove my energy from this situation. I recall my energy, I pull it back, I retireve it" and I just go with it until I feel like stopping. The steps given in the book(s) are just a guideline. You can do it however you want.

This is great, thank you.

So far, the few times I have tried, I had a hard time going from feeling the discomfort to feeling like the Expanded Self. I just couldn't make that transition.
