How can I vibrate my ideal feeling when my current feelings are very low?” This student was realizing that when the distance between your ideal feeling and your current feeling is too great, it doesn’t feel very good.
Immediately a picture began to take shape in my mind and I asked this student to imagine a ‘time-line’ which looks like ‘bar-bells’–with her default feeling on the left and her ideal feeling on the right.
