Visualization

[Guest Elizabeth K]

I have the DVD and CDs for the Deep Steath - "Finding Your Female Voice" - EXCELLANT exercises, but really something that needs to be practiced - results are not quick.

BUT

I needed something to help me reach my voice in public - it is a position in the throat - I would get too shy to make all the noises I needed to set my throat. So...

Visualization - I have Becky to thank for that concept! And I wanted to figure out how to use it for the voice as well - sooooo

Deep stealth uses a mantra "This is the voice I want to use!" to be said over and over.

AND

Reversing it, what 'mantra' would help with visualization?

MY MANTRA

I am a woman

I look like a woman

I think like a woman

I act like a woman

I talk like a woman

I am a woman

You FTM can easily modify that.

What it does is it aligns my mind into just the right place. I say it until it just sing-songs in my head - like being on autopilot.

Variations - substitute "girl" - substitute "female." Subtle changes but also really powerful.

I just wanted to share.

That is really cool, Lizzy......

I'll write that down and memorize it......

I could use something like this...

Puts me into the right mindset!

Just curious?

I currently do not verbalize a mantra like that you describe, but I really like the idea

I actively reinforce my self by makeing every small step that I can. I have discovered that even the smallest thing that helps to express yourself makes all the difference Exspressing yourself consistently and daily helps so much in your self acceptance and the acceptance by others

Hi Lizzie----you know i came up with a similar mantra that I repeat to myself---basically I repeat to myself I am a woman, I have a woman's body. I feel strongly that saying this to myself over time triggers my female hormones in my body. As to voice, mannerisms etc. these just seem to come naturally.

Hugs, Ricka

Lizzy,

You are welcome for the idea and this is exactly what I do when I'm out as Becky, whether I'm dressed with makeup or not. When I walk out that door as Becky, there is no accepting any other possible gender or identity.

However anyone treats me or whatever anyone may say to me, it has little effect, for I know who I am. If they have a problem, I guess they certainly have a problem. However, it's their problem, not mine. I don't share problems with strangers, they're on their own.

As Kathleen says, I can be totally Becky to me and I might even appear to others as a male. It's very satisfying to be Becky.

I'm glad you've found one of my mind control techniques to be helpful. It really does work.

Hugs,

Becky
