Isn't this session stuff just for crazy people, wimps and losers? Besides, people don't really ask these questions, do they?

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't this session stuff just for crazy people, wimps and losers?

Some people think so, sure. But it was mainly developed so that the normal, fairly intelligent layman (man in this sense and as used on this website includes women in standard English) can improve his outlook on life in the comfort of his own home in his own time with very minimal expense. And to do so without having to get therapy or seek professional help or even go and talk to someone. If you think you really should seek professional help, by all means go and do so.

Why is it so important to be sessionable? Why can't I just get five hours sleep the night before and drink beer for lunch like I always do?

Basically because you won't get much out of a Rub & Yawn session if you are not prepared for it, with quality sleep and food and so forth. Just as it won't work to try and paint a wall or your nails if the surface is rough and covered with dust, so it won't work to try and have a session here if you are tired or hungry or under the influence or too distracted, etc.

What's this Rub & Yawn thing about?

How it seems to work is this: If you put your attention on your topic and do the visualization procedure per the instructions, the harmful energy associated with your topic will get discharged through the body's action of yawning, or sighing, or sobbing, or similar physical means. The rubbing -- vigorously rubbing your hands together, or rubbing your chest, your back, your arms, your legs; s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g; squeezing the chair and table; this kind of thing -- causes the body to draw in fresh energy to replace the bad energy, the stagnant energy, the frozen energy, you just got rid of. It seems that the body needs a certain minimum amount of energy, whether good or bad, and if you go below this amount you will soon feel very short of energy. If you only do part of the procedure here and fail to rub, you will rapidly deplete your stock of total energy (good and bad), and begin to feel run down or wiped out. One solution is to rub vigorously for as long as it takes to recharge your batteries, so to speak, which might take several minutes. The correct way is to keep up the rubbing all the time and not get into such a depleted state in the first place. If you are feeling short of energy because of low blood sugar, this is a different thing.

Why do some people keep a written record of their sessions?

Two reasons. Some people find it useful to have a report to refer back to after the session, to see the dates and times of the sessions and how they were doing before and after, how many yawns etc. came off that particular topic, what realizations they had, and so forth.

But there is another very important reason, quite apart from the record-keeping aspect of it. It can be very therapeutic to write down things about your life, especially when the topics are charged or hot. In other words, when they have harmful mental energy attached to them. In order to write down the details you have to hold the events out away from you to some extent in order to look at them in enough detail to describe them, and doing this helps you to sort things out in your own mind. Many people who keep a daily journal or write posts to message boards on the internet have noticed this.

If I find I do well with these sessions and get over some things, won't I get sort of addicted to these sessions? Will I get dependent on them?

Unlikely. What tends to happen is that as you discharge more and more harmful energy connected to unpleasant things in your life you become more in control of your baggage and it begins to affect you less and less. Things that once adversely affected you in life you may find you can easily shrug off without going anywhere near a formal session.

How often should I have sessions? Three a day? Once a day? Once a week? Once a month?

If you are handling charged stuff, it can get to the point where you can't find charged stuff any more. You just want to enjoy life, smell the roses, head in the clouds with your feet still on the ground type of stuff. It's called "having your win." Go off and enjoy life and have another session when you feel like one.

It's also possible (I believe) to feel kind of worn out solely because there has been a lot of energy exchange. It's not so much that you are short of energy and need to recharge with a bit (or a lot) of rubbing while suppressing the yawns etc. It's more a case of you can only discharge and recharge the battery so many times in an hour or a day, and it would be better to wait till another time.

Now, there is also the case where you are not doing a session to handle charged stuff, but are doing a session to explore your auric bodies or something, like with some of the Brennan-based modules, especially SpotAnAngel [at PaulsRobot3]. In that case, the wonderful win-type feeling is the starting point for the session, not the ending point, and as long as you want to do such a session then there is no reason not to -- on the contrary!

I was having a great session -- I discharged a hot topic and felt wonderful. I figured on keeping the momentum going and started on another topic that I usually have trouble with and the session went lousy after that. How come? I was doing the procedure exactly the same as before.

Once you've discharged a hot topic and feel great for now, end off and enjoy your win. It just doesn't work to try and work on another hot topic when you're in such a good condition. It is known as trying to do a session over a win and is a big mistake. So lay off it for a bit. Enjoy the win and do another session when you feel like one, the next day or next week or whenever.

This is rubbish. I'm doing what it says but I don't yawn at all.

You may have noticed that this whole subject is not covered in Wikipedia. Or anywhere else in mainstream science. Quite honestly, this is all somewhat-experimental cutting-edge research dealing with a person's extended anatomy, his or her subtle-energy processes. At a rough estimate, maybe 80% of people who follow the instructions seem to do OK with Rub & Yawn procedures. What's with the 20%? Possibly they haven't followed the instructions properly and they are doing something else. A session is unlikely to go well, for example, if the person is hungry or short of sleep, or short of energy for some other reason. Possibly they really are following the instructions exactly and it still isn't working. Maybe they need to work at it longer than others in order to open the subtle-energy pathways. You also might want to look at the "Letting Go of Stress" section in this post.

Glossary

6-Direction

This is a simple visualization technique used in Rub & Yawn. The six directions here are above, below, to the right, to the left, in front, behind.

On each above/below/etc step, one simply tries to place the topic above/below/etc one's body as best one can. This is easy to do with an uncharged topic, but hard to do with a hot one.

These steps repeat Above ... Below ... Right ... Left ... Front ... Back ... Above ... etc for as long as appropriate.

Charge

Harmful subtle energy connected to a topic or incident, that is discharged in running a process. This discharge is often seen as yawns or sighs or other bodily discharges. When something has been discharged the memories will remain but they will no longer be unpleasant.

Discharge

The entire aim of Rub & Yawn is to release the charge stored in the space of the body and about a meter around it in the associated subtle energy fields there. The subtle energy effects are not readily seen, but the physical manifestations (shutting down or discharges or neither) are fairly obvious and can be worked with as excellent indications of what to do next.

Flat

A procedure is flat when there is no more change occurring, no more charge coming off.

Flow 1

Thing happening generally, or someone doing something to you. Examples: you catch the flu; you win the lottery; your aunt kisses you on the cheek; someone slaps your face.

Flow 2

You do something to another. Examples: you kiss your aunt on the cheek; you kick a cat; you set fire to a waste basket; you hit someone.

Flow 3

Another or others doing something to themselves or others. Examples: A cat plays with a mouse; a young girl harms herself; Mexico invades Texas.

Flow 0

You do something to yourself. Examples: You eat far too much and feel sick; you trip over and break a leg.

Item

A topic you address with Rub & Yawn, like "Sally" or "the events of 1950-1959" or "my childhood home." It is important that an item is selected by you and not by someone else, and it is something you are personally interested in addressing.

Ownership

Sometimes handling some specific charge works better when the person concentrates their attention into a particular area of the body or space around them, as if the charge were "owned" there. The more familiar alternative is to address some charge generally.

PaulsRobot

Sets of web pages at PaulsRobot.com, PaulsRobot2.com and PaulsRobot3.com that deliver free fully-personalized Rub & Yawn stress-release sessions 24/7 to the user.

Residual discharges

Yawns or other discharges that sometimes come off at the beginning of a Rub & Yawn session, formal or informal, that are not connected to any specific topic. These would occur irrespective of whatever one's attention is on.

Rub & Yawn

Contains three parts:

  • vigorous rubbing of the body to energize it, and
  • visualization in various specified ways of one's charged topic, resulting in
  • yawns or other clearly visible physical discharges showing harmful energy being dissipated.

(Rub & Yawn) Session

Short period of time (usually 10-60 minutes) with a start and an end in which the user manipulates and discharges mental/emotional images.

Sessionable

In good shape for a session. Ideally, this means be well-rested, well-fed, not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, willing and able to read and follow the instructions, and have no distractions, enough time for the session, and nothing else likely to pull you out of session. There is a sliding scale here, with session success being more/less likely as one's sessionability increases/decreases.

Shutting down

Going foggy, blanking out, losing focus even slightly, as a result of some charge getting triggered. It is resolved easily by vigorous Rub & Yawn as long as one catches it in time. If not, it is easy to go to sleep, wasting valuable minutes of session time or life. It happens in life too, not just sessions, and the same remedy works in life.

Subtle energy

High-frequency energies of various kinds that make up the extended anatomy of a person (chakras, meridians, auric fields etc). The charge associated with the sensations, emotions and thoughts contained in a person's baggage is also made up of subtle energy.

SUDS

(Subjective Units of Distress/Disturbance Scale) A standard 0-10 negative scale for a client to rate her topic both before and after a session.

SUSHI

(Subjective Units of Session Harmony and Insight) A new 0-10 positive scale for a client to rate her condition and ability or inability to find anything negative now to continue the session on.

Topic

The charged subject of a session, very personal to the individual, selected by the user and not from a provided list. General suggestions may be made, like Relationship trouble? but it is the user who selects his actual topic of Lyn Rizzergard next door.

Trigger

Cause a topic to go from a dormant state to an active one. Cause the charge from a topic to suddenly become active and impinge on a person, so that he will experience the downscale sensations, emotions and thoughts contained in this piece of "baggage" and tend to "act out" its content. In more advanced PaulsRobot work one triggers things selectively and deliberately so that the topics in question can be discharged and so not be available to be triggered in the future. Life triggers topics randomly.
