QUOTE

As you embrace the present
and become one with it, and merge with it,
you will experience a fire, a glow,
a sparkle of ecstasy throbbing in every sentient being.
As you begin to experience this exultation of spirit
in everything that is alive, as you become intimate with it,
joy will be born within you,
and you will drop the terrible burdens of defensiveness,
resentment, and hurtfulness...
then you will become lighthearted, carefree, joyous, and free.

~Deepak Chopra

PRACTICE BEING PRESENT

This is a excerpt from Hypnotherapy Scripts, Vol. II. Make a recording of this for yourself and see what changes arise.

Copyright 2004 All Rights Reserved. For personal use only.

    Time doesn't exist; what we refer to as "past" has no reality. We've constructed the concept of time to suit our own needs. We have only this moment.
    We keep regrets about the past alive in our minds by constantly recalling old memories. The purpose of this exercise is to release regrets from the past. We do that by bringing our attention back to the present moment.
     Think about this question: do you actually experience the passing of time or just the passing of thoughts?

Begin with a relaxation induction & deepening...

    As I count from five back to one, recall a memory from your past that continues to affect your life today. Five, moving further and further back in time -- four, going as far back as you need to go -- three, your subconscious mind knows exactly which memory to bring to mind -- two, allow the memory to surface without thinking or 'making it happen', and one, you're right there now at a scene from your past.
    Stand outside that scene now and just notice how often you relive this memory. (Pause) In what way does this memory affect your present moment in a negative way? (Pause) Is there a lesson for you to learn by constantly recalling this memory? (Pause) If so, what can you do to learn this lesson and move on? (Pause) Do you benefit in any way by continuing to relive this past moment?
    Imagine releasing this memory. Let any colors fade, blur the focus, move it away from you... That's it. Just let it go. Take a deep breath, clear your mind and simply be in this moment. Experience your breath. Feel the relaxation in your mind and body. That's it. Focus on your breath and let your thoughts drift. How do you feel as you experience being in the moment?
    Imagine the life you create when you live fully present in the moment. Free of past regrets.
    Notice any thoughts about the past that may be passing through your mind right now ... and let them go. Breathe into the moment. As thoughts come into your mind, label them and let them go and turn your attention to your breath. Focus only on the air passing in and out of your nostrils. (pause 30 sec) Ask yourself, do you have any problems or upsets right now, in this instant? And return your focus to your breath.
    Does your power reside in the past or in the present? Continue to practice being in the moment and enhance your power.
    Accepting all suggestions which are positive and beneficial for you and releasing anything that does not fit into your life at this time.

EFT: CE hours for MFCCs, LCSWs, RNs

What is EFT?
The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a powerful new discovery that combines two well established sciences so you can benefit from both at the same time:
1. Mind Body Medicine
2. Acupuncture (without needles).
In essence, EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture wherein we stimulate certain meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips. This addresses a new cause for emotional issues (unbalanced energy meridians). And, since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that EFT provides astonishing physical relief.

You can make enormous strides by introducing EFT into your emotional therapy process (whether you are a professional or a client). Instead of taking  years using conventional talk therapy, EFT often does the job for you cleanly and thoroughly and much more quickly.

You Will Learn
• A Brief History of Energy Therapy
• The Basic Recipe
• How to Correct Psychological Reversal
• Why We Don’t Always Reduce the Intensity to Zero
• How to Uncover Aspects
• How to Apply EFT to a Variety of Issues

Pre-requisite: None　
This is a hands-on, experiential training. You will have the opportunity to clear issues from your own life as well as learning how to apply these techniques to others.
