I have been working with myself and two clients on cracking our engrams . Engrams Engrams are much like a memory capsule, much like an airplane’s black box. They are recorded with a human yet mechanical recording device, the reptilian brain , that never sleeps. The content of the engrams is every detail around a traumatic incident where you were in an altered state, sleeping, fainted, in anesthesia, or in a shock. None or little of it is available to the conscious mind, directly, instead the engrams act like a hidden program, like an ad-ware, that pops up whenever there is any similarity between the present moment and the moment of the engram recording.
