I used the technique to remove the belief "Yummy food comforts me and makes me feel better" This belief has been active in my life since I was about 10 I think. Here is my analysis "yummy food comforts me and makes me feel better" No This is not true "Food is comforting and makes me feel better" - No. This is not true. Ideas where the belief came from - My dad thought giving me yummy food would help when I was sad, but he was wrong I thought yummy food would help when I was sad, but I was wrong The truth? "Care, love and forgeting about my problems comforts me and makes me feel better" My dad gave me food when I was sad - I may have Gave my own meaning to this event over time with the belief, but really, this event is meaningless My dad asked me if I would like some yummy food when I was sad and stressed many times - This event is meaningless - only I was the one that attached meaning & a belief I ate food when I was sad & stressed and it temporarily made me feel better and numbed my emotions - This event is meaningless, only I attached meaning and a belief I have eaten alot of food many times when I was sad and stressed - This event is meaningless I attached a meaning to all of these events, all of which have no meaning in reality What really comforted me now that I think about it, was my dad caring about me & helping me forget about the problems by comforting me and made me feel better. Doing anything to forget about my problems comforted me and made me feel better. This is true because I have done other things to comfort myself that are just as effective as "food": such as I went for a walk when I was sad & stressed and it temporarily made me feel better & numbed my emotions I had a bath and lit candles when I was sad & stressed & it made me feel better & numbed my emotions I did byron katies work (self help) when I was sad & stressed & it make me feel better & numbed my emotions I went and hung out & played with my pet birds when I was sad & stressed it made me feel better & numbed my emotions I had a big drink of water when I was sad & stressed & it made me feel better & numbed my emotions I cried my heart out when I was sad & stressed & it made me feel better & numbed my emotions I sat upside down when I was sad & stressed & made me feel better & numbed my emotions "So when I get an urge for yummy food or drink, What I really want is love, care & to forget about my problems & to do something relaxing where I forget about my problems & responsibilities. That is what I need to give myself." What I need is love & care & to let go of all the problems in the world & not worry about anything. Care & Love makes me feel better. Care & love comforts me and makes me feel better Care, & love, & being excused of my problems & responsibilities makes me feel better. Caring about myself & doing something to forget about my problems comforts me and makes me feel better It's so amazing the truth I found here..... Along with the book "I can make you thin" by Paul Mckenna [Amazing. Must-have] , & removing this belief, you will have a lot more happiness around food & eating & be a lot slimmer.

I noticed a program for Social anxiety? & Procrastination? I would like I thought wow...my social anxiety subscribers & followers on twitter & youtube may like to know about this. Then I thought, I wish it had an affiliate program! I even thought about emailing & asking if I could get a % to promote it. Then I thought, should I just tell my subscribers about it with no benefit for myself? I've been wondering lately, I try to give away as much as I can for free, because I'll feel like I'm bad & greedy if I put a price between the people & what they need...hey theres a limiting belief

Normally, when we disconnect we get some very soft reminder such as a feeling. If we do not hear and heed the whisper, Source starts to remind us of our disconnect a bit more loudly. Perhaps we clash with another human being or attract a mildly unpleasant event into our lives, perhaps our "bad" feelings get stronger. In my experience, we all receive many communication attempts from Source concerning our disconnect before Source has to throw a brick at our head. This is when so-called tragedies occur. They are the ultimate wake-up call and they indicate a disconnect not only on the side of the "perpetrator" but also the "victim". For anyone who lives and knows the LOA it becomes clear with time that there are no victims - only co-creators.

I had some difficulty accepting Morty's method at first - but the part at the end about the creator/creation seemed extremely useful. I think that I strongly resisted examining my childhood experiences because of another belief - "My childhood was wonderful as a whole; therefore, analyzing my relationship with my parents is a form of betrayal." Releasing that negative belief - and instead choosing to believe that examining my childhood experiences is a loving, courageous way to respond to my parents' role in my life - is wonderful. I'm also curious to know what Steve finds more useful - Morty's method or the Belief paraliminal. |

Can Steve or someone recommend which higher level belief the following limiting belief falls under: I see someone like Steve or "insert any successful person who pretty much works from home" and say to myself, sure he can do it but it's probably not realistic for me. I'm confident in most areas of my life and before this post had not considered that what's holding me back is me (the Creator). I feel like I'm on the cusp of a personal breakthru but am struggling a little. Any advice will be most appreciated. Thanks, Neal |

Limiting beliefs come in layers, like an onion. To get to a deeper layer, use "....and that means that I am ____." When you reach a belief at the level of identity, you're getting down to the nitty gritty, and it will tend to hit you like a ton of bricks. "it's probably not realistic for me and that means that I am _____." |

I just did the free I'm not good enough one and I have to say, I think it worked! I just realized that my parents have always had WAY too high expectations of me! In everything! Even as a little kid they expected me to behave like an adult! Damn! This is so cool. I think I am gonna buy their program for eliminating fear of rejection. Seems like it will work a lot better than a cheesy pickup line

Very interesting. I tried with I am not good enough belief and it made me think quite differently. (I had to stop in between because my internet connection could not load the bigger movie. Now I am going to try other ones. His method is very much similar to cognitive therapy.

| Legendary Member | No, although I work with EFT, too. TIME Techniques is completely different -- more of a hypnosis session done in a very light trance, during which you use your active imagination to move over your unconscious representations of memories of the past and future (time) to get deep learnings from events in your life (and even from representations in your unconscious of past life and past generations), gently shift your perspective on the events, and recreate your internal representations, free of all those old, outdated negative emotions and limiting decisions. It's so much fun to see people emerge from their session looking ten years younger, laughing and lightened up from their burden of all that old gunk! I also use a more intensive technique when someone has a very stubborn limiting decision made at the level of identity, like one of being worthless. We deeply examine all aspects of that decision and shed a lot of light on it, shifting perspective in a really profound way, and generating a new, deeply inspiring belief that totally lights the person up and gives him the experience of an entirely new future. I just got done with one this evening, and it is the most rewarding work I've ever done -- it never fails to move me to my core. |

I'm quite interested in this package but I found myself questioning their method of distribution. Why would I want a piece of plastic to be shipped halfway around the world and back again (DVD-plant -> Morty Lefkoe, USA -> Me, Sweden) when they could offer it as a download instead? I still need to use it in my computer so the DVD doesn't add any value for anyone (more costly for all parts). That is a lot of harm to the environment transport something that was digital from the beginning. Additionally I need to pay $13.57 in Shipping, I need to rip the DVD:s (my netbook doesn't have a DVD-player) and there is always the unwelcome chance of having to pay customs as well (usually delaying the delivery additionally). This may not seem like a big deal but I can't see any plus side with buying a DVD. In the end I'll resign buy the DVD as it is right now. I realize I'm ranting here, I'm just wondering if I'm alone here. I posted a support ticket, I'll repost their answer if anyone is interested. |

Jeez, this guy is quite spammy. I signed up for the belief limitation thing when this blog post came out so I could work on it later this week. I've already received 9 mass emails from him about it already....! I'd hate to put his email addressm on a blocking list or unsubscribe myself, but I may have to do that if he keeps insisting on sending an email per day. |

I think he uses an auto-responder series of about 10 emails to further explain the process and to do a check-in to see if the limiting belief is really gone, but I don't think it's a daily thing beyond that.

I just tried the Mistakes and failures are bad demo movie. I'm still digesting it, but it feels interesting! I'm definitely a "feel" person rather than a "see" person, so I was glad to see that we "feelies" got some love in the program design too. There were a couple of places where it jumped; am I right in assuming that the free version had those bits cut out from the presumably longer for-sale version? Quote:
The big sets even come on a DVD-ROMs, so the files are presumably movie files and don't even need to be ripped, just copied to my computer. Sell me those, please! As an option, at least. Does anyone know if the individual programs come on DVD-ROMs too, or are they video DVDs that need to be ripped? He seems to be doing a good job, only needs a couple of tweaks to his distribution model. Definitely worth keeping an eye on! (And I also used a 10-minute email address so I wouldn't have to worry about overzealous followup emails. Good call --> me!) | |

I´m still receiving emails and they are not about checking up. They are a few lines about the next limiting believe that you can tackle and 10s of testimonials. They are still arriving daily, but I have signed up the 12th, so maybe tomorrow they will stop? I will wait one more day before unsubscribing... If you know him well, maybe you can give him the tip to lighten up on the spam. If he has confidence in his program he does not need all these emails. Just once a month to remind us that it is there is enough.

At the risk of being repetitive (fighting spam with spam?), ten minute email is worth googling... |

I use that email for things that might spam me and I only use it for that. Thus, it doesn't matter how much spam they send, I never really see it anyway.

If you got to the free belief page from the link in Steve's blog, he will be credited with any purchases you make. Also, if you get the Natural Confidence package, you are getting all the beliefs that cause the other problems too. In fact, if you get that package the guarantee is that you'll also eliminate all the other problems. Regards, Morty Lefkoe |

Sorry you are being bothered by the emails. After people eliminate one belief we write a few times to explain that the belief does not come back and how to notice that. Also, we let you know that if you eliminate a few more beliefs the same way, you can eliminate a bunch of common problems. There is a guarantee for life. If the emails bother you, please unsubscribe. Thanks, Morty Lefkoe |

I can see that many people seem to like this process, but isn't focussing so much on childhood problems quite a negative thing to do? How can raking up negative emotions from the past be good? Surely it's better to stay in the present and deal with the problem now by changing present thought patterns. It also seems unlikely that all problems stem from childhood. If new positive thought patterns can be begun in the present, which is what all of the personal development literature seems to assume. Then why couldn't negative thought patterns also develop during teenage years and beyond? |

My experience with literally thousands of clients is that if you spend a few minutes revisiting the time you formed a negative belief, you can get rid of it and never have it bother you today. I also found that virtually all self-esteem type beliefs are formed in the first six years or so. For more information on how beliefs are formed and how they affect our lives as adults, visit my blog Morty Lefkoe - Eliminate Beliefs Permanently--Guaranteed (TM) Thanks for your comments. Regards, Morty |

What do you believe that makes you think it is unrealistic for you? I'm not capable? I'm not competent? I'll never get what I want? I'm powerless? There are a great many possibilities and the odds are there are more than one belief. Hope this helps. Regards, Morty |

The free version is complete. Must have been a problem with your connection. It is the same as the one for sale. The programs are DVD-ROMs. The Natural Confidence program that contains all the beliefs and conditionings is available as streaming video. If you have any questions, let me know on my blog, Bust A Limiting Belief | ReCreate Your Life Regards, Morty Lefkoe |
