"All we are is a result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become."   ~Buddha

Change Your Mind

As Buddha says, the mind IS everything. I see it daily in my work. I tell my clients that the subconscious mind always says "yes." Not a problem if our thoughts and beliefs are positive and life affirming. Not good, of course, when we slide into negative thoughts and beliefs.

Here's an example of how easily we can change our perception and move forward. I worked with a new client this week who has trouble when the weather is gray and overcast. The word she used to describe her response was despondent which she felt in her head. We did a simple reframe and anchor. I asked her to imagine the attributes of this feeling, e.g. color, shape, size, etc. Once it was tangible I asked her to remove it from her head and discard it. We filled that newly emptied space with sunlight and with the color red which represents all the qualities that she'd like to have instead of feeling despondent.

At the end of her session I asked her to look out the window at the gray, overcast sky and describe how she felt. She said that she could see that it was overcast but there was no emotion attached.

Seems too good to be true, doesn't it? But I know from personal experience how powerful a reframe can be. Years ago I was really upset about a nasty word that an ex-boyfriend (well, he wasn't an ex at the time) had called me. I won't tell you the word as it's one of the four letter words that polite people don't say. However, another friend laughed when I told him why I was upset and redefined the word for me. It felt completely different in it's new framework and it has never bothered me again.

I'm excited to work with this client again and see the effect of our initial session because I know that we really can change our minds and keep the change.

EFT for Professionals: CE hours for MFCCs, LCSWs. RNs

What is EFT?
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.
