Regression Therapy

Regression therapy originated in hypnotherapy. It is a technique used to help someone access a past memory in order to heal a present issue and can work wonders with inexplicable fears, guilt or shame, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or with a number of psychosomatic problems. It is a safe, low-cost, and drug-free way to overcome psychological issues and its effects can be immediate.

For example, a client came to me for help with a fear of closed-in spaces, especially airplanes. She had to travel the next day by airplane and wanted to reduce her anxiety before and during the flight. When I regressed her to the point of the first occurrence of her fear of closed-in spaces, she was able to remember a time when she was very young and would hide in a closet whenever her parents argued. This memory was the trigger point to her current fear of closed-in spaces.

Oftentimes, just the remembrance of a past memory can greatly reduce or alleviate the present effect. In this case, my client reported that although her claustrophobia symptoms were not entirely alleviated, her symptoms were reduced to the point where she was able to relax enough to enjoy the flight.

Another client of mine who was accosted by a burglar while in her home, requested regression hypnotherapy to remember more details about the experience in order to help the police solve the crime. A detective joined us during the session and recorded it in case additional details were uncovered. We agreed that the primary goal of the session would be to reduce her fear so that she could once again sleep and feel safety in her own home. Although a few more details about the attack were revealed during the session, the most important result was that her fear was greatly reduced to the point that she was able to sleep for the first time since the incident. Over the following weeks, she reported to me that the hypnosis session reduced her fear and allowed her to once again feel peace and safety in her own home.

Past-life regression therapy is a form of hypnotherapy used to help a person access a previous lifetime memory to understand and resolve a current unexplained issue. Whether the story brought to mind while under hypnosis is true or a fabrication of the mind is not the focus of the session. The focus is on using the healing power of our subconscious mind and imagination to learn about and resolve the present issue at hand.

If you have questions about regression or past-life regression hypnotherapy and how it may be able to help you, please contact me. I would be happy to answer your questions.

EFT - Tapping Your Way to Health and Wellbeing

The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a method of energetic healing that utilizes a number of theories from alternative medicine such as acupuncture, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), energy medicine, and Thought Field Therapy (TFT).  While related to acupuncture, EFT does not use needles. Instead, it is a simple process wherein a person mentally tunes into a specific issue while stimulating certain meridian points on the body by tapping on them with their fingertips. When properly done, EFT balances disturbances in the meridian system thereby reducing the duration of conventional therapy procedures. Anyone can learn the techniques and experience positive results.

EFT is used for physical, emotional, and performance issues and operates on the premise that there are unresolved emotional issues causing a disruption in the body’s energy system. Even physical issues such as chronic pain and diagnosed illnesses can be caused by emotional stress that impedes the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Some of the emotional impediments to health that EFT is used to alleviate are stress, anger, fear, grief and low self-esteem.

Losing weight is a cultural obsession backed by a billion-dollar industry. While healthy eating habits and exercise are important ingredients for achieving and maintaining optimal weight, most often there are emotional issues driving poor or obsessive eating habits. EFT works on the energy body to release blockages that build up in the body’s energy pathways (meridians) from traumatic life experiences and negative emotions. Once the energy pathways are cleared and energy is able to flow freely once again, the body can do the work it is designed and heal emotional and physical issues.

One of the best things about EFT is that it is safe, free to practice, and can be done almost anywhere with only 5 brief steps to complete. Once the technique is memorized, each round can be performed in about 30 seconds. Click here for a brief intro (6:58 minutes) on EFT from founder Gary Craig. It is important to note that although you can learn and practice the techniques yourself, in order to receive the most benefit, work with a skilled practitioner.

Dream Weavers

Paramhansa Yogananda's poem "God! God! God!" referenced the idea of the mind weaving dreams. The original reference to the term "dream weaver" may have been spiritual, but many current teachings talk of using our mind's power to manifest our dreams. However, to be a powerful dream weaver requires that we know the threads needed to weave a dream into reality.

First, we begin with the threads of an idea or fantasy. Oftentimes these threads will appear as lucid dreams when our bodies and minds are relaxed and our imaginations engaged. Lucid dreams are dreams in which we are aware that we are dreaming, and usually occur spontaneously. With practice, anyone can cultivate this skill.

Some of the world’s greatest scientists and artists actively engaged in lucid dreaming. Albert Einstein regularly utilized the power of his lucid dreams and said, “Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” Director, James Cameron, cited lucid dreams as being the inspiration for the movie Avatar. He said “…I’ve kind of realized that what I was trying to do was create dream imagery, create a lucid dream state while you’re watching the film.”

Successful dream weaving may start with a dream but it certainly doesn’t end there. The threads of passion and purpose must be woven into the fabric. Purpose weaves reason and meaning into the fabric, and passion weaves in the fire necessary to make the dream vibrant and compelling.

The next vital threads of our tapestry include our values and goals for these constitute our compass pointing us in the right direction. Furthermore, when we align our values and goals, we remain focused on the priorities of our work ensuring the most direct and luminous path to fulfillment.

Finally, we must weave in the threads of reality for powerful and successful dream weaving requires planning, hard work, dedication and persistence. Imagination and reality go hand-in-hand and are both necessary components for bringing your dreams to life.

When my mind weaves dreams
With threads of memories,
On that magic cloth will I emboss:
God! God! God!
- Paramhansa Yogananda
