Weaving
Transurfing of Reality
Vadim Zeland, 'Transurfing of Reality'
Transurfing is a system by Vadim Zeland about reducing 'excess potential': when a goal or problem becomes too important, tension arises that hinders achieving it. The key is internal and external importance, the observer's position, and the paradoxical permission to not achieve the goal. In DreamsFlow, elements of transurfing are woven into visualization to relieve tension and need.
Techniques and elements
- Awareness of excess importance: 'my life won't collapse without this'
- Internal importance — letting go of self-esteem through the goal
- External importance — the goal is not 'vital'
- Observer's position: 'Wow, how much this affected me'
- Background mode and permission to not achieve the goal with full intention
Pros
- Reduces anxiety and obsession around goals
- Helps with perfectionism and fear of failure
- Does not require belief in 'magic' — works as a cognitive technique
- Enhances visualization by removing internal resistance
Cons
- Terminology may seem esoteric
- Without practice, it's easy to remain at the level of 'just relax'
- In laziness, 'permission to not achieve' can become an excuse for inaction
