Apposition Of Opposites

Script

Ask your client to sit with their hands resting on their lap, palms facing upwards.

As you relax deeply now … you can start to become more aware of your body … and the many
different systems that make up your body … become aware of these many different systems
… such as the immune system … endocrine system and nervous system … each of these
systems is made up of a variety of subsystems … and all of these systems are interconnected
… and you can recognise that there is a natural and effective balance … between all the
different systems of your body.

Explore how you can become aware of these different systems now … It could be a physiological
experience of them … or a creative, symbolic image of them … perhaps creating a mental map
in your mind’s eye … that represents the different systems of your body … all interconnected
… all working together …

Pause

And now, you can become aware of the system that now most needs balancing as you work
towards _______ (insert the client’s goal).

As you become more aware of the imbalance in that system … you can start to imagine …
placing the weight of that imbalance into the palm of one of your hands … feel and experience
the appropriate weight of that imbalance … in that hand … experience it in a way that’s safe
for you right now …

Pause

And as you allow yourself to experience the weight in the one hand, you can become aware of
the opposite of that weight, the lightness … and experience the opposite in the other hand …
allow yourself to fully experience that lightness there in that hand.

Pause

Just be aware now of the difference between those hands … perhaps you can imagine or see
the difference between those hands represented by a set of scales …

Pause

And I wonder if you know … that one of your body’s strongest drives … is to heal itself … is to
return balance to the systems of the body … and you can begin to engage with that potential
now … as you allow your body to return to its natural state … allowing balance to return to
those hands … as your work towards _______ (insert the client’s goal).

And I don’t know if … both hands will become heavier … or both lighter … one hand heavier
… or one hand lighter … perhaps something can be added to one side …or removed from the
other … allowing whatever change needs to happen … so that balance can return … to those
hands … to that system … as you engage with your body’s natural intelligence … its powerful
capacity to heal and rebalance …

And I wonder what thought … response … or chemical change needs to happen right now …
in order for you to experience that balance returning …

 Pause, until balance has been restored.

And as you find that balance, allow every cell to know what that change is. And I wonder how
you will begin to experience this balance right now, as it is communicated to every cell in your
body?

And with that balance restored … you can begin to wonder … what will that new balance
mean to you … how will your life be different … how will you experience that change … as
you work towards _________ (insert the client’s goal).

(Repeat for any other systems that need to be balanced.)
