Emotions

The holidays sometimes bring up long buried emotions. Some that we appreciate revisiting and others that are not as welcome. As I decorated my tree this year -- my first Xmas tree in at least 10 years -- I revisited quite a few sweet sentiments that were attached to certain decorations. These were pleasant emotions, reminding me of past holidays when my children were growing up. But for many the holidays bring up painful emotions that have been suppressed. What to do then?

First, keep in mind that emotions are simply energy in motion. We can see that clearly by observing a baby or toddler. Even though they may throw a raging fit, crying as if the world is about to end, very shortly they are sunny and smiling again. Now, I'm not recommending that you throw a fit to clear out your negative emotions. There are better ways for us grown ups. :)

Here are a few tips for working with emotions during the holidays:
1. Keep breathing... sound simple? It is. And yet, when we want to stuff something back inside we hold our breath so it would make sense that we can release emotions when we keep breathing and get back to feeling good.

2. Take a break from everyone. Excuse yourself and take a walk around the block. While you're walking, concentrate on breathing fully, stand up straight and walk with a half smile.

3. If you have learned the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), USE IT. I am embarrassed every year when I hear the song, Silent Night, because I cry. When I heard it this year I was sitting in front of my computer so I just tapped on feeling sad and the feelings dissipated with one round of tapping.

If you haven't learned EFT I am teaching a class on February 2, 2008 for the general public. See below for the details.

However you celebrate this time of year, enjoy yourself!

Neurotherapy

If you haven't had a session in awhile and are considering making an appointment, I have something new to offer! I have added Neurotherapy to my life and practice in the last few months with some amazing results. I never expected to be interested in using technology in my hypnotherapy practice but after spending three days at a conference next to a licensed psychologist and experiencing a profound trance state, I was convinced. I use the therapy every day and in the last few months I've noticed that I am sleeping much more soundly and my connection to Spirit has deepened.

"Over 40 years worth of research has found neurofeedback effective in treating numerous conditions including ADHD, depression and anxiety disorders, among others. Researchers have found the training reliably strengthened alpha/theta waves; decreased depression and promoted positive personality changes; increased spirituality, and decreased alcohol abuse during follow-up in 67-93% of subjects."

Make an appointment and experience the results for yourself! 916-373-1932
