Elevators, MRI tubes, crowded subways, windowless conference rooms—any enclosed space sends adrenaline flooding through your system. Your mind knows the door will open. Your body screams that it won’t.
Replacement Beats Suppression
You can’t bully your nervous system into calm. You must replace the fear sequence with a precise ritual: tactile anchor, breathing cadence, visual focus, mental script. Without that, every elevator becomes Russian roulette.
Create a “Safe Capsule” Protocol
Before the door closes, run your protocol: place thumb on wrist pulse, inhale for four counts through the nose, exhale for six, repeat three times, then narrate the environment (materials, colors, floor numbers). This keeps the thinking brain online. The quest teaches you to encode this protocol so it launches automatically.
Run the Quest
Follow the method in the book or inside the quest. It’s free; it just requires two project tokens sitting in your wallet. While they sit there you can reprogram as many fears as you like.
FAQ
Do I have to ride elevators daily? Nope. Install the protocol first, then practice in gradually tighter spaces when you choose.
What about sleep panic? Run a bedtime version of the protocol to prevent night terrors triggered by feeling “trapped.”
Medication? Work with your doctor if needed. Replacement programming still matters or the fear returns when meds wear off.
