Sugar and it's effects

Funny how life presents challenges. Today's challenge wasn't so successful.  I was called upon to help out a friend at a vendor booth. That, in itself, was fine, but in this age of attracting clients to the booth, the one tried and true way is to offer free chocolate.  So, in a bucket there were pounds and pounds of individually wrapped mini candy bars in the booth I was manning.  And that tactic was extremely successful. Most everyone wants one or two, many with that guilty little snicker (pun intended).

When my body tells me it's time to eat and I'm not at home or have my home made sugar free food available, it can be frustrating. Such was the case this weekend. Needing to have something in my belly, here is candy that I used to consume--and love--in quantity sitting right beside me. I gave in.  I consumed sugar in a binge for 2 days. Here is my observations of a no-sugar person re-experiencing sugar again.

The candy bars satisfied me, but only for about an hour. And I wanted more, and more. Since it was so available, I ate more and more.  It made me angry and irritated that night. I wanted more other food than usual. I went ahead and indulged in eating out (almost every food in restaurants have sugar in it). I felt fat, bloated, not real good about myself because I was out of control. My digestion problems kicked up a bit, along with a headache, and what I wanted to do was sleep/nap. My energy level was down, my motivation was less.

When I cleaned up the booth at the end of the gig, I had a box of candy left. What to do, what to do.  Do I take it with me? Do I keep it for the next gig--which meant holding on to, and dealing with available candy for 2 weeks. Do I go to some homeless shelter and donate it, further damaging their already poor health?  It was the moment of truth when all items were loaded onto the cart to be stored for the next gig, except the box of candy & all that chocolate. I made a management decision and put 3 candy bars in my purse, then said in a loud voice to all the other vendors packing up, "If anyone wants this candy, help yourself. I don't want it. If you all don't take it, it will be thrown out." I wheeled the cart out to the car, unloaded it, wheeled the cart back in, and all the candy and the box was gone. Phew, I was SO glad I didn't have to deal with that anymore.

At home, I ate the 3 chocolate bars and that was the end of my sugar binge. Out came the salads and sugar free chili and I'm back eating normally. I'll settle into feeling better soon. I may just take that nap to wear off that sugar side effect, and I'm sure I'll have to go through withdrawals and cravings again starting real soon.

I like me better without sugar in my system.

Profile of a sugar addict

I have a good friend.  This guy is very smart, open, wise, contemplative.  We have had numerous deep and revealing conversations over the years.  When I hear from Dave, it is always a positive conversation.  Dave is warm, caring, generous, and real.  Dave reveals who he truly is to me and this trait allows me to be who I really am around him--what a breath of fresh air!  I really value that man.

Now Dave has a different side.  Through his words, I learn about this side, although I don't see it much.  On Dave's day-to-day life, he has tremendous inner struggles.  Dave struggles with depression, anger, hopelessness, unworthiness, with bouts of suicidal thoughts.  Dave feels out of control in many parts of his life and seems to sabotage success on more than one occasion.  Physically, Dave has a few medical problems.  He has drunk alcohol regularly for quite a few years.  He finally quit smoking for a while, but that didn't last long.  His marriage is borderline, not due to fits of anger or problems, but to apathy.


In trying to understand why he is how he is, I hit upon a strong possibility.  The symptoms above all lead to one thing that I wasn't aware of until recently.  I had previously chocked it up to "alcoholism".  However, that just didn't fit with Dave.  Who he was really didn't scream alcoholism like I have known in others.  But nothing else fit the bill as an explanation…until recently.

Looking at his symptoms, depression, anger, hopelessness, unworthiness, suicide, out of control, self sabotage, drinks, smokes.  Plus taking into account things I didn't mention. I suspect Dave's root cause of all these problems are related to way too high of sugar consumption.  Really.  Check any list of sugar symptoms and you will find each of his, and more, in the list--(check my last blog post).  Plus, look at all the sugar that is in alcohol.  And, tobacco leaves have sugar on them (some people don't know that).  How Dave is now makes perfect sense to me.  I don't think Dave has an alcohol/tobacco/emotional problem as much as a sugar addiction problem.  Isn't it amazing that this poison permeates in most everything we consume, decreases our quality of life so much, yet it is legal, and very much sociably acceptable. 

There's nothing much I can do about helping Dave.  Sugar addiction is one thing people have to come to on their own--like all serious addictions--and be really ready to put it down for good. Since the severity of sugar addiction is virtually unknown in society, I can only hope to inform him so he can begin to do his own research on sugar addiction.  Maybe I'm wrong, but this makes the most sense in the 15 years I've wondered about Dave and his challenges.  He deserves so much better than that.  Maybe he will read this blog.

Sugar can cause

Depression problems, the alcohol consumption, and smoking, have a STRONG tie to sugar addiction. 

Cigarettes have sugar in each one.  Sugar is put on the tobacco leaves before they dry.  If they didn’t put sugar in tobacco, people would be a WHOLE lot less likely to smoke, as it would taste a LOT worse.  Many don’t know it, but it’s the sugar that keeps them hooked, not so much the tobacco.  If it was the tobacco, people would get addicted to the patch.  Sugar addiction is treated like any other SERIOUS addiction in hypnosis.  There is a 3 session process, just like stopping smoking, and the client MUST be ready to ‘put it down’ or it won’t work.  Sugar can ruin your health and is suspected to be the cause of a TON of diseases and ailments.

Taken from: http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/sugar_addiction.html, read below.

Health and Healing Stuff

It's so hard to divide my life into categories that are separate. All things tie in together. When I separated my life between home living and business info, I didn't realize there would so quickly be overlaps. Well, the first overlap is that my posted information about sugar-free eating should really go under this healing heading. Plus, the animal healing I have posted there also, should probably be under healing heading,  So, I invite you to my other blog to see if anything there interests you in the name of healing, foods, food preservation or animal health.

Making hypno recordings--Why not?

I have a really good hypno friend. He has helped me with my hypno education and has been real good to bounce hypno challenges off of. In talking to him tonight I realized how I could benefit from more self-hypnosis. I'm missing out on what I really want out of life, and can get very easily.  My true desire, as is many who get into this helping others business, is to help self. There is NO reason I can't start making more hypno recordings of all those session subjects that people come to me for. AND that I want to experience myself. Why not? What am I waiting for? These recordings are timeless, so even if I don't yet have the correct labels, I can still make the recordings.

The list of sessions that I have ready now--off the top of my head are below. Which ones would interest you? Maybe I'll upload them on www.scribd.com for just a couple of bucks.

1. Removing negativity
2. Boosting Self-Esteem
3. Five minute Pain Relief
4. Remembering Success (already have)
5. Self-Hypnosis for Self-Healing (already have, entitled: Intentional Self-Healing)
6. Higher Self Advice
7. Individual weight loss issues
• Night urges
• Passion for Exercise
• Room of the Eater
• Mirror Image of Self
• De-Snacking/Craving Control
• Drink more Water
• Love the Healthy Foods
• Portion Control
• Security is King

Not So Perfect Speech

I like to speak in front of an audience, and had that opportunity this week. I was the guest speaker at a woman's group of 15, about hypnosis and hypnoband. The few days before the speech, I had one crisis after another and my time became scarce. The only preparation time I had was as I was on the road driving. On the day of the speech, I expected to get out of work early and write that speech. Of course that didn't happen. Luckily I had handouts and flyers already printed, so the bulk of my speech, I decided to just do a quick overview and then questions and answers with a demo or two at the end. I did as expected and the group seemed to like it a lot. The demos were geared towards audience participation, and about half did participate and had an enlightening experience.
Where it went wrong was that I opened my mouth really wide, and inserted my foot completely. Basically I reminded a woman that she was NOT slim and trim. Ya know, when those words somehow just fall out of your mouth, there's nothing you can do but apologize. I spose some would go into denial, as standard for many politicians, but the cat was out of the bag and I just had to let it go. Oh well. So much for thinking/planning before I speak!

FEELING the weight off

Tired of yo-yo scale weight?  I have homework for you to help get to the root cause of your over eating habit.  In order to permanently resolve this pattern, it helps for you to become aware of the emotion, thought, or belief surrounding those times when you overeat.  So here is your homework.

The next time you eat wrongly and feel the “out of control” feeling, the remorse, the really full, bloated feeling, take a moment and ask yourself “what feeling did I feel right before I put the food in my mouth?“  Do not allow “I don’t know”.  That’s not an answer.  Your answer will have nothing to do with another person, either.  Pay attention to what you were thinking, as opposed to what you were FEELING.  Dig deep for the feeling.  Many times the eating is used as a distraction to stop a particular feeling.  What might that be with you?  What feelings are you using food to suppress?  Below are some examples.  Think of YOUR feelings and words and send them to me.

· Revenge: “That will show them”.

· Frustrated: “Nothing I do works, anyway”.

· Mad: “I hate myself because I can’t quit it”.

· Depressed: “I don’t even care anymore”.

· Security: “I just want to be taken care of” or “Why isn’t anyone taking care of me?”

· Loneliness: “If I can’t have love, food comforts me”.

It is these feelings that are important to become aware of, plus it makes for a quicker and more assured resolve for you.  Think about it.

Not Your Ordinary Stress Article

Ready to pull your hair out?  Tried everything to change, only to get temporary results?  Fed up, forlorn, hopeless, in despair?  Good.  Now you’re ready to think outside the box for permanent relief.  You know there are plenty of people your age, similar circumstances, living similar lives, that are happier, and are not dealing with the type of stress which you do. WAIT! I’m not going to the same place as other stress articles.  Bear with me…It runs much deeper than you think.  You already know all the things you can do to reduce stress.  You can re-prioritize your activities, put yourself first more, tell others “no”, or begin stress-reducing exercises if you really wanted to.  You know stress can cause mental and physical ailments, even death--like heart attacks.  I wonder what would cause someone to “choose” to risk their mental or physical health, or even death when other more beneficial and happier choices are readily available.

Gawd, I hate it when people say, “Just choose differently”.  They make it sound like all us imbeciles have to do is choose another option and all will be perfect.  But, on one hand they are right—it is about choice.  So, why have you “chosen” to live a life filled with too much stress?  Here we go with the “out of the box” part.

What drives our choices? The answer to that is that our choices and decisions are driven by our inner self talk.  It’s what we hear ourselves saying--inside.  What drives our self-talk?  Well, our inner talk is driven by what we believe and feel, our values, and even those habits we have adopted.

What is the drive behind beliefs, feelings, values, and habits?  The driving force behind these is our life experiences.  At a pertinent life event, we interpret it and feel the associated feelings with the knowledge and wisdom we had at the time of the experience.  With 0-7 being the most impressionable ages in our lives, quite often these pertinent events are within that age range.  Therefore, an event (mother had to tend to younger brother and pushed child away who was asking to be picked up) interpreted by a child, (mommy doesn’t love me), produced a child’s feeling (hurt, rejection), which formed a belief (I’m not worthy). Other subsequent events reinforce the feelings and this belief and builds on itself strengthening with each one.  This most likely is affecting the adult you are today. (The boss doesn’t like me.  I’m not good enough for that promotion.  People may reject me if I don’t please them.)

So, let’s get this straight on how choices are made:

· We have a life event—as a child.

· In that event, we feel emotions, draw childlike conclusions, and form beliefs.

· This builds on the first, solidifying those initial conclusions, as we grow up

· These beliefs and emotions create our self-talk.

· Self talk drives the choices we make today.

Hm, childhood events are driving today’s choices? Really? Yes, really.  But what if this process isn’t working for us now?  How can we change this to choose different, better things today?

Following this logic, it would seem like we would need to change those past events in order to change today’s choices.  But that’s not exactly correct.  For one, events are events--just a fact of our past.  However, the feelings, the beliefs, the childlike conclusions from the event can be changed.

But how?  First, how do we find the pertinent event that is the driving force behind today’s bad choices? Second, once we find it, how do we change the conclusions of the event?  Well we know that the subconscious mind is a storehouse of every experience, every thought, feeling, and emotion that we have experienced in our lifetime.  I bet it knows what the event is that is interfering in today’s choices.  What if we just could get into the subconscious mind, uncover the event that is causing us trouble today, see it as an adult, change the feeling around it through understanding (mommy had to attend to brother, it had nothing to do with your value as a person).  And then visit subsequent events, reinterpreting them with this new information.

I bet that would change our self-talk, which would enable us to make different choices and decisions today.  Hm, we are getting somewhere now!  Sounds plausible, but who does this kind of work?  Hypnotists.  No, not what you’ve watched on stage at the county fair, but serious, advanced hypnotherapy.  It has enabled millions to stop smoking, lose weight, and overcome phobias in a remarkably short time.

Hm…I bet a really skilled hypnotherapist would be able to guide me deep into my subconscious, for a pertinent past event and do this necessary work.  Wow, there is hope to start making better choices permanently so I can live a less stressful life!

Shout out for Parts Therapy

So, the question is, how badly do you want permanent change?  Maybe you are struggling with weight loss, maybe you desire relief from illness or pain, maybe it’s time to quit smoking for good. Let’s talk weight loss for a moment.

Many weight loss challenges have their base in security within. Security is attained through familiarity. That which is familiar to the person is secure.  And when a person lives their life in a familiar way, same job, same routine, similar experiences, it is a very secure place to reside.  However, there may come a time when things in life need to change, such as in losing weight.  Sometimes, life in this familiar, secure environment just isn’t acceptable anymore. And these challenges can force the person into needing change to happen.  That can be scary for those who really value the feeling of security and familiarity.

If the weight could be permanently reduced within the familiar secure environment, great. However, weight loss, as well as other health problems, most likely will require an inner change for the person.  The part of the person that values security and does not want change, could be standing in the way of the change that person desperately wants and needs to make.

If the part that doesn’t want change stays where it is, there will be NO CHANGE within. The person can go through all the pills, the diets, even weight loss surgery, and any change will be temporary.  It MUST be that way, because the part that is resistant to change is ruling.  The person knows this, as they have not yet found permanent weight loss success.  (Now, this scenario is a general rule of thumb.  For each individual case, there may be conflicting parts that have concerns, OTHER than simply resisting change.  The variety of reasons for the conflicting part is endless.  However, the need for security is quite often linked to weight loss challenges.)

So how does one overcome this and help to make thing happen?  Stephen Parkhill, author of “Answer Cancer”, is a sort of a miracle man who has helped thousands of people overcome cancer and chronic illnesses through hypnosis.  In his book, Stephen says:

“When a person has a problem, there are only two agencies anywhere that know the cause and cure for that problem—God and the person’s subconscious mind.  Go anywhere else for answers and we’re wasting time.”

When the subconscious is enacted, the resisting part is brought out and has the opportunity to be fully heard.  Compromises may need to be enacted, as mediation from a hypnotherapist skilled in parts therapy will provide for inner resolution.  Success is then sure to follow once all parts are in harmony and not conflict.

Unlike many hypnotists and other healing/helping people, a hypnotherapist with this skill can easily get to the deeper issues and help to resolve them--with the client’s cooperation, commitment, and willingness to go out of their comfort zone.  With the trust that they are in good hands, the client is on their way to successful and permanent weight loss.

So the question is, how badly do you want permanent change?

HypnoBand / Gastric Band Hypnosis

Have you considered Gastric Band Surgery for weight loss?

What if you could have all the benefits of a surgical Gastric Band, without the surgery and cost? Well now you can!  HYPNOBAND is the World's No.1 Gastric Band Hypnotherapy Weight Loss System.  Over 170 Clinics in Nine Countries—NOW in the US!

A new revolutionary weight loss system, HypnoBand, could change your life forever. Imagine having the results usually achieved by having a surgical Gastric Band fitted but not having to go through the risks, drugs, inconvenience, and surgery, and spending thousands of dollars!

Gastric Band surgery is not for everyone. Usually the surgery is only carried out on people classified as "obese" and with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) usually over 30.  A surgical Gastric Band works by reducing the size of the stomach and therefore you eat smaller portions and feel full. Through this method it is possible to lose weight fairly easily.

What is HypnoBand?  The HypnoBand™ Weight Loss System is a combination of suggestion, visualization, and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques which, combined, convince the client that they have undergone gastric band surgery thereby enabling them to eat smaller portions and have their hunger satisfied earlier in the meal.

Does gastric band hypnosis really work?  The success rate for hypnosis based gastric banding is extremely high and comparable to actual gastric banding surgery.  Gastric band surgery is risky.  Many people cannot have surgery for one reason or another.  For some, their physician will not approve of surgery until they lose weight.  For others, medical conditions make surgery unsafe or otherwise unrealistic.  With HypnoBand there are no surgical risks or medical complications.  No anaesthetic or drugs are involved in the HypnoBand system.  It is working effectively with the mind to affect change on a permanent basis.  And yes, most people can reach a hypnotic level sufficient enough for the HypnoBand system.

HypnoBand Weight Loss System is huge in UK, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Australia and other countries. It just recently has made its way to the US. If you are interested in Hypnoband, just let me know and I'll get you going by sending you detailed information explaining more about the HypnoBand System as well as Basic Weight Loss Programs. My office is in Kennewick, WA.  Limited client availability.

ALL LIVING THINGS HAVE A VOICE,
AND BOY DO THEY HAVE A FEW CHOICE THINGS TO SAY!

Surprising Chats with Animals and Nature about Human Life is a fascinating book which houses 63 telepathic chats beginning with domesticated animals, branching out to wild animals, fish, snakes, and then taking the leap to speak with various ‘lower’ forms of nature. In her repertoire of animal chats are:

Fred the Banty Rooster and the teachings of being physically attacked by a dog.
    Flo the Sheep on being labeled a dumb animal—yeah, right!
    Rita the Guinea Pig on gp’s as silent royalty.
    Making a deal with sugar ants to NOT invade a house for a whole summer.
    Injured baby squirrel on experiencing unconditional love.

Then the chats shifted to other living things. Cynthia has documented chats with:
        Rocks on: The significance of graffiti.
        Bamboo on: Humans need to bend a little bit more.
        Wind on: Making the Columbia River dance, (a.k.a., white caps).
        Forest Fire on: The need for humans to control things.
        Cold, the temperature, on: non-judgment.

Using EFT for Immediate Stress Relief

How many times have you noticed that you are upset about something, your stress level is high, and you didn’t know what to do to immediately get back to normal?  Yes, you can do your breathing, you can meditate, you can walk away.  Those things are great tools, but what if you are in a situation where you just don’t have the flexibility to do those things, like in a social circle or work environment?  What if you’re in a difficult situation and your stress is high, but you cannot escape?  How, then, can you take the emotion away from a situation immediately and not get caught up in arguing, reacting, damaging your credibility, and risk the chance of getting disciplined or even fired in the workplace? 

Well, there is a solution to reduce immediate stress and to get back to balance that you can do at any time.  It is a series of tapping on socially acceptable places on your body and takes only about a minute.  If done properly, it works nearly ever time to take away the emotional “charge”.  This is a fabulous tool that will serve you for many years for the relief of immediate stress reduction.

If you find you have any sort of stress, you can use a really effective technique called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to reduce the stress immediately.  So, let me tell you how EFT works.  EFT is a technique of tapping on collective meridian pressure points in order to release and neutralize an emotional “charge”.  EFT is a very simplified version of acupuncture or acupressure, without needing to engage in many years of study.  These instructions below are for the layperson who has limited or no experience with EFT, meridian pressure points, or acupuncture. YOU will soon be capable of immediate stress relief for yourself in most any situation!

PREPARE
To first get ready to use EFT, you must learn some simple rules.  You will be tapping on specific areas of your body.  To tap, you will use the index and middle finger of either hand.  When you tap, you will exert a bit more pressure than you generally would if tapping on a table to make a drumming sound.  The tapping should certainly not hurt or make the area sore, but since the intention is to disrupt the body’s energy in that area, it cannot be so slight that you barely feel it.  Somewhere in between the two extremes is great.  When you tap, you will use at least 5 taps on each point.  It does not matter which side of your body to tap on.  It also doesn’t matter which hand you use for tapping, as long as you can reach the areas needed with the tapping fingers.

Tapping PointsNext, you need to know a few body spots where you will be tapping.  They have common sense labels.  On the left is a drawing of some of the areas and what they are called in EFT lingo.  Below is the sequence flow of tapping, AFTER the karate chop set up phrase is stated, which I’ll explain in a minute.  The sequence is:

Inside eyebrow - nearest the center of the face
Side of eye - the bone at the side of the eye
Under eye - on the bone under the eye
Under nose - midway between the bottom of the nose and the top of the lip
Chin - the bottom of the lower lip, in that indentation area above the chin
Collarbone - located about one inch down and over towards the outside of where a man would tie his tie, on that bone.
Under Arm - about 4 inches below the armpit, where a woman’s bra rides.
Top of head – straight up from the ears on the top of the head. Use flat of hand to tap.
Inside wrist – where pulse is taken.  (Not shown)
Back of Neck – On the occipital points, those indents on each side of the base of the skull.  This is my favorite spot and I use two fingers on each hand and tap both occipital points at same time.  (Not shown)

Now, you also will need to know the karate chop point.  This is the fleshy part of the side of your hand that you would use if you were going to give a karate chop.

SET UP:
When you notice any unwanted stress—the stronger the emotion the better—you set up an appropriate phrase for what is happening.  (“Even though…..”and follow it with “…I deeply and completely accept myself”).  For example, if your boss has just told you that your workload has just been increased (without an increase n pay) , you may say, “Even though I hate being told what to do by people in authority I deeply and completely accept myself”.  Just fill in the (underlined) phrase with exactly what you are thinking at the moment.  Be as specific as you can.  Note how strongly you feel these words.  The more highly charged the emotion, the better. Ask yourself, “On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being low and 10 being high, what number would I give this emotion?”  Mentally remember the number you have designated.

This next step is to take care of any psychological reversal (unknown resistance to overcoming this issue).  This needs only be done once for each subject.  Once you get the right SPECIFIC phrase, tap continuously on the karate chop spot while saying this set up phase completely, three times.  For an example:
“Even though I hate being told what to do by people in authority (or fill in what the problem is), I deeply and completely accept myself”.
“Even though I hate being told what to do by people in authority, I deeply and completely accept myself”.
“Even though I hate being told what to do by people in authority, I deeply and completely accept myself”.

PROCEDURE:
Then take the “even though” part of the phrase and shorten it to just a couple of easy words.  In this case, the words would be “hate being told what to do”, or even better, “hate authority”.  Keep saying these words as you tap on the other areas of your body in the sequence stated previously.

Each session will go something like this:

Figure out your set up phrase.
Take two fingers of the left hand, and tap on the right karate chop while saying the set up phrase three times.
“Even though I hate being told what to do by people in authority (or fill in what the problem is), I deeply and completely accept myself”. Repeated 3 times.

Shorten your set up phrase to a couple of impactful words.  Take your tapping fingers and as you say the shortened phrase, tap on each location 5-7 times.  Tap on:
inside of the eyebrow (hate authority)
outside eye (hate authority)
under eye (hate authority)
under nose (hate authority)
chin (hate authority)
collarbone (hate authority)
under arm (hate authority)
top of head (hate authority)
inside wrists (hate authority)
back of neck (hate authority)
Take a deep breath in, exhale. 

CONCLUSION: How do you feel?  Take another internal survey and give your emotion a number.  Is the number considerably lower than it was to start with?  One or two rounds of doing this, and most of that highly charged emotion you felt at the set up will simply be gone.  If emotion is still there, repeat the process from number three, omitting the karate chop set up.  Repeat until the emotion is greatly weakened.  If it does not subside, be more specific with your set-up phrase and do the entire procedure over again.

When you have released the emotions surrounding this stress, take inventory and see if there is any other resistance or emotion that needs to be neutralized on this subject. Figure out your highly charged set up phrase and repeat the entire procedure for all stress that you want to reduce, until there is nothing more to tap on.  THEN you are ready to take on the day!

Hypnosis for Cancer?

The most versatile and powerful healing science known to man is hypnosis. Hypnosis has helped with so many issues it’s hard to keep track. Hypnosis has even helped reverse the effects of cancer, Crohn’s disease, AIDs and other terminal illnesses. It is said that with every patient who contracted a chronic or terminal illness, there is a desire of self punishment, mutilation, or limitation residing unnoticed in the subconscious mind of that patient. The patient with such a debilitating disease generally has a base-line belief that the world, parents, or other significant persons, would be better off if they weren’t alive. As with all beliefs, the subconscious strives to prove the truth of inner beliefs. This causes the patient to play out this belief by creating their ultimate demise in the form of terminal or chronic illnesses.

Steven Parkhill, who specializes in this Age Regression work with cancer patients states on his website http://www.alfcentral.org/healing.htm

    …the subconscious mind is the most powerful goal achieving device known to man. And it will achieve any goal implanted into it with ruthless efficiency. Programmed for abundance, it gives you the person who can lose everything and in so short a period of time be back up on top. Programmed for limitation, it gives us the risen Hollywood star who crashes and burns for no sensible reason, or the lotto winner who in five years finds himself broke and in debt, or the obviously gifted athlete who can’t keep his head together long enough to do anything with those gifts. Programmed for mutilation, it produces chronic illness. Here, the doctor medicates an outbreak of some kind, oblivious to the continuing existence of a program calling for the mutilation. This is the mechanism behind recurrence and substitution that medicine refuses to respect. Going into the subconscious and removing the mutilating program allows the body to quite naturally right itself.”


If the subconscious mind can create illness, then the subconscious mind can un-create or cure illness. How this reversal is accomplished is through Hypnotic Age Regression. The hypnotist works closely with the client to uncover the root cause of the illness. When the patient’s emotion that surrounds the disease is brought to the surface and expressed, the client, guided by the hypnotist, follows an imaginary thread and travels back in time where that emotion was initially experienced, due to a specific event. This first occurrence—or root cause—event is then dealt with appropriately by throwing adult logic and wisdom of the event into the mind of that child who perceives the event inaccurately (but logically for his or her young age at the time).

Then, more work may be needed to include forgiveness of self and others from that root cause event. Once the emotion of the event is neutralized and resolved, the client travels forward to present time hosting this new information. As long as first occurrence is obtained, and there are no other issues needing to be dealt with, the disease will begin to reverse on its own, no longer a need for the subconscious mind to continue with self-mutilation.

This is an absolutely fascinating process. This genre of hypnosis was developed in the 1940’s by Mr. Dave Elman, who called it “hypnoanalysis”. Elman was a hypnotist who taught medical doctors and dentists how to do this fantastic work to resolve the issues of their patients. His work went without fame or fanfare by the general public at the time, yet by those who understood the value of this work, Elman was highly respected and his teachings were very in much demand. After Elman’s death in 1967, Elman’s legendary work was brought to the forefront and given world recognition and the respect it deserves. Today Elman is considered one of the great hypnotists in history.

Hypnosis with age regression work is the base of what I do to help heal animals in overcoming their physical and emotional challenges.

Eliminate Hypnosis Resistance

If you have tried hypnosis cds before with limited results, know this:
    Resistance is understandable

Resistance to hypnosis sessions or recordings can cause reversals, holding back, hold ons, and may SHIELD you from the immense benefits that can be obtained by hypnosis.
Many of us have a resistance to authority. How many times have you thought, "S/he's not going to tell me what to do?" Or, "I'm smarter than s/he is, I'm going to do it MY way". And, most of us have fear of change, even when outwardly we demand and cry for change. There may still be that tiny bit of nervousness of the unknown that change brings with it. And not to mention the fears associated with hypnosis itself, such as the fear of losing control. This isn’t a bad trait in most of life, but it sure is when it comes to a hypnosis session. Resistance when attempting change through hypnosis can diminish your results.

CINDY’S NOTE: As a person who resists authority, I had a hard time doing what the cd suggested. I would fight the speaker all along the way. At the very first of the cd, I’d not be relaxed, but still getting myself into the chair, taking care of business and such. I always figured I was better at this than the average person and didn’t need all this preliminary work. Inside I felt that defiance of “you’re not going to tell me what to do”. During the patter, I’d be acutely aware of any mistakes he made, things that were not said perfectly, or any visualization that was not 100% clear and have an ongoing judgment in my mind about it.
I then did the steps below and went much more deeply relaxed. My usual body aches went away, until I heard the cd skip. That brought a tiny bit of fear into me, (“oh no, the tape is getting damaged….”) and I came out of the hypnosis a bit. My body ache came back and I didn’t go back down as deeply after that. It was amazing to see the difference in my level of relaxation. With resistance and/or fear, I didn’t go nearly as deep. Once I realized the resistance or fear and resolved it, the hypnosis session became much more effective. My biggest resistance was the fear of change. Even though I thought I wanted change desperately, a part of me was afraid of not knowing what I would change into. I heard myself thinking, “Yes, but how I am now, I’m still alive and surviving. If I change I may not survive.” Amazing what our minds come up with!

Pick any good, solid and well recommended standard hypnosis recording.

    * Get ready in a comfortable, undisturbed situation with your player at your fingertips. For this first time, we will use the speakers instead of headphones. This makes it easier to stay up (out of trance) enough to do the necessary work if you are by yourself.
    * Hold the CD in your hand and consider if you have any resistance to this cd. Do you have any bad feelings about the process, any anxiety or nervousness? If you have even the slightest resistance, have a conversation with yourself about this resistant energy. If there is emotion associated with the conversation, allow that emotion to come up and be expressed fully. Listen to your body carefully and do not proceed until you feel totally okay about the energy of the cd.
    * If necessary, repeat this with the cover of the cd, the hypnotherapist's name, picture or logo. Note if there specifically is a distinct difference in energy between the tape itself and the hypnotherapist in question. Please remember that what you are feeling is ONLY RESISTANT ENERGY. It can not hurt you. This cd was made for the sole purpose of helping you and for no other reason. When the energy flows cleanly and freely through your system, you may move on to the next step.
    * Now put the CD into the player and turn it on. Pay close attention to how you are responding to the music, sounds, the hypnotherapist's voice. If there is any resistance or fear, work that through until the energy flows cleanly and freely. Then watch yourself through the introduction, and the experience of the session. If you feel any pain, discomfort or recoil response, stop the tape and take time to talk it out, shake it off, do some self-healing, and by remembering that "this is only energy – smooth it out".
    * Now, simply continue and listen to the instructions the hypnotherapist is giving you. Do what he says when he says it, such as closing your eyes, relaxing or drifting off. If you are finding difficulties with any one of the instructions, stop the tape. After each treatment, rewind the tape to TEST IF YOU ARE NOW CLEAR OF THE RESISTANCE of the instruction given, the wording, the tone of voice, or any other aspect.
    * By now, you will be having a very different attitude to the whole experience and you might well be ready to start from the beginning and do this for real. If so, go right ahead. If you are not ready, take your time. Go through each resistance until it is totally gone. This is a very important learning process for you and will unlock potentially ALL THE BENEFITS OF ANY HYPNOSIS RECORDING ever produced. This is certainly time well spent!
    * Now that you have eliminated all resistance, start over and go into the process anew. What you will find is that now you have a sense of lucidity and control that was previously absent, and that the experience of trance is quite unlike anything you used to experience when you were still suffering from blockages and reversals. What is even better is that should at any time throughout the hypnotic journey further problems in your energy system come to your attention, you have the added power of the lucid trance state to move energy swiftly and in real time, as it is happening in response to what the speaker is saying.
    * As such, you are experiencing and co-creating benefits with the hypnotist which is way beyond what any resistant person could possibly get to. And a simple, everyday hypnosis tape can become a profound tool of personal healing and growth to you. And of course, the whole wonderful world of hypnotic phenomena will become available to you with a little extra practice.
