Energetically, you are dealing with and processing millions of bits of information or energy every moment of every day.

Most people don't realize that, energetically, you are dealing with and processing millions of bits of information or energy every moment of every day.

Every person, place and thing you come into contact with has an energy field that your energy body & subconscious mind has to process and deal with.

Everyone has, not only a physical body, but an “energy body”.

Your physical body is a physical manifestation / mirror of your energy body, thus, when you influence the energy body (positively or negatively) your physical body is soon to follow / mirror.

The energy body shifts and changes much more quickly than the physical body.

You will be interested to know that, not only do you deal with your own energetic & emotional “problems”, but also those of everyone and everything you come in contact with.

Everything from your own thoughts and beliefs, to the food you eat, the products you use on your skin (lotion, deodorant, soap, etc), the people you surround yourself with & the music you listen to, affects your energy body & contributes to your over-all vibrational state of being & will ultimately influence your physical health.

Generally speaking, your over-all vibrational state of being will determine your health, prosperity, emotional state and outlook on life.

Weight Loss Goals

The subconscious must move towards something (attraction) not away from something (lose weight).

The best weight loss goals are stated in the positive, in the present and with emotion.

Your goal is to see yourself in the future at your desired weight while experiencing the emotions that “ideal” would be feeling.

Neuro:

The nervous system (the mind), through which our experience is processed via five senses:

Visual
Auditory
Kinesthetic
Olfactory
Gustatory


Linguistic:

Language and other nonverbal communication systems through which our neural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning.

Includes:
Pictures
Sounds
Feelings
Tastes
Smells
Words (Self Talk)


Programming:

The ability to discover and utilize the programs that we run (our communication to ourselves and others)

in our neurological systems

to achieve our specific and desired outcomes.

In other words, NLP is how to use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes.


When was NLP created?

NLP was initially created in the 1970’s

by Richard Bandler

a student of mathmatics and gestalt therapy

and

John Grinder

a Professor of Liguistics

at The University of California Santa Cruz.

They began modeling and duplicating the "magical results" of a few top communicators and therapists.

Some of the first people they studied included Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson,

gestalt therapist Fritz Perls

and family therapist Virginia Satir.

Since then, many others have contributed to the growth and development of the field.

Today, NLP is widely used

in business to improve management, sales and achievement/performance, inter-personal skills;

in education to better understand learning styles, develop rapport with students and parents and to aid in motivation;

and of course,

NLP is a profound set of tools for personal development.

“I can tell you as a biologist that when we step into the part of ourselves that doesn’t judge, that is simply open to the possibilities of the moment, that what happens is we feel a sense of peace and gratitude.

"Enormous biochemical changes accompany that, changes in the neuropeptides from the emotional center of the brain, changes in our immune system and our cardiovascular system that are all consistent with good health.”

- Dr. Joan Borysenko, co-founder of the Mind-Body Clinic at Harvard University

Change Your Brain, Change Your Life

THE BRAIN CAN CHANGE
Dr. Amen has found hypnosis to be very helpful. You will be glad to know that hypnosis, guided imagery and deep breathing are specifically recommended to resolve and heal problems with the brain!

Certain parts of the brain tend to do certain things. For example, the prefrontal cortex is involved with executive functions; the temporal lobes are involved with memory, auditory processing, word finding and emotional reactions; the parietal lobes are involved with direction sense; etc.

The deep limbic system controls our state of mind, our automatic thoughts, and our degree of connection that we feel with others. Noticing the good is much more effective in shaping behavior than noticing the bad. Dr. Amen recommends taking responsibility for nurturing relationships in your life with love, appreciation, affection, trust and connection.

One of the parts of the brain that controls the integration of feelings, thoughts and movement is called the Basal Ganglia. You might be interested to learn that the Basal Ganglia’s function includes the ability to integrate feelings and movement, control feelings of being overwhelmed emotionally, conflict avoidance, suppress unwanted muscle movement, and set the body’s idle speed or anxiety level. Isn’t that interesting

One of the main ways to sooth the brain is DEEP BREATHING and DAILY RELAXATION THROUGH GUIDED IMAGERY/SELF-HYPNOSIS. The way you breath has a huge impact and trains your brain how to reset to a relaxed, healthy level. Guided Imagery trains relaxation into your body and lowers tension in your muscles. These exercises may seem too simple, but they can have a powerful effect on how your body reacts.

The alert trance is a type of trance used by many hypnotherapists.

“What is hypnosis?
Will I be unconscious?
I don’t want someone controlling my mind while I am under!”

"Since I hear these remarks with such regularity I figured it was best to address the issue in an article.

Some kinds of hypnosis therapy do indeed depend on the client being in a deep, nearly unconscious, state of hypnosis. In this state the client lies silently with eyes closed and may appear to be sound asleep. This is a restful, soothing, and very blissful state in which the body is floating, the mind is drifting, and one is mostly unconscious of the hypnotist’s words.

Such a state is sometimes referred to as somnambulism. This state is quite useful for hypnotic anesthesia in surgery and is an excellent state in which to deliver hypnotic suggestions, because it is a highly suggestible state.

Since it is the state preferred by many clinical hypnosis practitioners, it is the one most often associated with the word “hypnosis” in the public imagination.

It is indeed a state in which the client’s conscious mind is mostly gone, and the subconscious can be manipulated by the hypnotist’s words.

The client often awakens with no memory of what happened, as if they were in fact asleep.

It has been repeatedly documented that a hypnotized subject will never do anything to violate their internal ethical standards of behavior. Your subconscious mind will keep you safe in a hypnotic trance. Hypnotherapists who have proper training operate in an ethical fashion.

The alert trance is another type of trance used by many hypnotherapists.

The client is in a state of expanded awareness, similar to meditation, in which the client is completely, acutely aware of everything that is happening in their inner world, although they may be largely unaware of the normal stimuli of their physical environment, like the sound of traffic outside or the buzz of a phone. In this relaxed but alert state, the client may experience very powerful memories that emerge from the subconscious mind.

During the alert trance session, at no time are you asleep or in any way unconscious. Nor will you ever feel out of control or experience any loss of memory of the guided imagery trance journey. Instead every detail is recalled.

We have discovered that we don’t need to be unconscious in order to be hypnotized effectively! In fact in the alert state of trance we may have more energy and clarity to do effective emotional release than in deeper states.

When we hypnotists use the alert state of trance, we empower our clients to continue this powerful work on their own to create the results they desire. "
