Our beliefs govern our reality

Our beliefs govern our reality: what we see, but also how we heal.

Hypnosis is powerful, rapid change work.  Through this change work, we are gifted the opportunity to retrain how we experience everyday life. 

Even though our old thought patterns live in our mind, they can send neural signals to every corner of our physical bodies.  Repeated stress, anxiety, and even inherited trauma can live in our bodies, resulting in a wide range of physical manifestations.  If you can think back to a time you felt anxious or depressed, you’ll remember that your physical body was also in a very real state of “unwell”.  The mind and the body are inextricably linked.

A great deal of our somatic experiences, and their physical embodiments, are rooted in emotional events.

The best way to shake loose, unblock, and help to heal the physical body is to loosen up and revise the neural pathways that were laid down at some point in the past.  It is my belief that by working through our emotional blocks that have been running on a loop outside of our conscious awareness, we can not only change our thoughts and emotional well-being, but we can unlock a slew of unconsciously-expressed physical manifestations as well. 

The mind is responsible for making the body feel.  Try this: 

Close your eyes.  Then, think about the big toe on your right foot tingling.  Give it a few seconds.  Send all of your attention there, and notice the sensation in that toe.  With relaxed focus and concentration, the body feels what the mind expects it to feel.   

Because the brain works with memories as the basis for its responses to new stimuli, you can give yourself a memory of a better future, and use that positive experience to shape your new responses and reactions.  By way of example, this mind-body connection is fundamental to sports psychology.  When athletes practice visualization training, the same parts of the brain are firing off (while seated in the therapist’s chair), as if they were actually physically performing the task.  In the state of trance, you too are able to rehearse the change you want to see in your life, and your mind and body record it as though this experience occurred in the physical realm.  Together we can imaginatively rehearse a healthier, more resourceful future for you and those around you.
