Food For Thought
What we need is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out.
Knowing what is and knowing what can be are not the same thing.
Certainty is a cruel mindset. It hardens our minds against possibility and closes them to the world we actually live in. When all is certain, there are no choices for us. If there is no doubt, there is no choice.
When we are certain, we are blind to the uncertainties of the world whether we recognize it or not. It is uncertainty that we need to embrace, particularly about our health. If we do so, the payoff is that we create choices and opportunity to exercise control over our lives.
We are not our disorders, and we shouldn’t be defined or constrained by them. There are several reasons that we cling to the illusion of stability to the extent that we do. First, although we recognize on some level that the world around us is always changing, we are oblivious to the fact that we mindlessly hold it still. Diagnoses are just words and words are static.
We can all say we believe in the possibility of improvement, but unless we really do, we won’t find it. That is we are more likely to find it if we look than if we presume it cannot be found. All told, we can accept the idea that we have no control and be correct or incorrect, although life is meaningless in the first case and wasted in the latter. But if we accept that we have control and are incorrect in any one instance, again, we can never be sure we won’t find a way in the future and will reap the benefits of the search. And if we are correct, we have conquered the so-called uncontrollable.
Experience it:
Think about a minor problem or irritation that is bothering you, nothing major. Got it? Use your imagination visualizing the problem and your position relative to it. Read the following slowly while manipulating your images of the problem as directed.
When you see the ellipsis (...), slow down and really think about what was just written. Think about a problem, if you could...
When you think of that particular situation, think of every aspect of it... Consider that entire situation for a moment... Would it be fair to say that things are getting a little bit more intense now,... so whatever the negative emotions were are getting a bit stronger, right?... What else could you think about other than that which is part of situation, only better?... How was that?... What just happened?...
Hypnosis helps a person to become more motivated. Imagine the power to stay on a particular weight loss plan. It doesn't matter whether your favorite program is counting calories, or carbohydrates. Hypnosis can help. Are you ready to implement your favorite diet to achieve a 100% success at reaching and maintaining your goal?
Chronic Pain
We all have a lifetime of associations that we've linked to pain and they are activated by the sensation of pain. What is it anyway? It is only an impulse that travels up a nerve the spinal cord into the mind. Learn a new way to feel your sensations. You have heard about people with very painful experiences being able to ignore their pain and so can you. Examples are child birth, fire walking, major surgery and battle field injuries. Pain is an important warning for something physically wrong and for this reason, I will require a medical doctor to understand your pain and give you written permission to pursue hypnosis as a method to minimize your discomfort and maximize your ability to cope. Hypnotism is always complementary to the best medical and psychological services.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is cooperation between you and the hypnotist. You are volitionally going along with the process. It is a form of influence not control. You are aware that you are participating. A professional hypnotist always gives positive empowering suggestions. You can step away at any time from the trance. He is only giving ideas. The hypnotist is not a master of you. You are always in control. The hypnotist suggests or nudges, and you develop your own mastery.
Unwanted Behavior
Fears cause many unconscious behaviors that we do not want to do and prevent us from doing the things we want to do. Hypnosis can help you resolve the fears, changing your understanding of them so they do not interfere with your normal life. Sadness, Always feeling disconnected, Fears, Habits, Rituals, Public speaking, Money, Goals, Self-awareness, out of it, Blank spots in memory, Nightmares, Flashbacks, Intrusive Re-experiencing a terrible event, Numb to life, No emotions, Unreasonable avoidance, Neglecting Injuries, Agitated, can't sit still, Unreasonable worrying, Unreasonable anger, Shame and/or guilt. "Only if, I...", Sleeping problems, Alcohol and/or Substance abuse. I can help.
