What if the pain of past traumas could be reprocessed so that they no longer have a traumatic effect on you every time you recall them? Sound like magic? Actually, it’s based in brain research on how we store our memories, both the painful traumatizing ones and the happy unforgettable ones! When you think of an old unhappy memory, it’s like taking a file out of a file drawer in the brain, then reading it and getting upset again before putting it right back where it was. But if you choose to think about it using the techniques of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, it can be but a minor memory that may not make you happy to reconsider, but certainly won’t retraumatize you. It may even change your thoughts about the memory to much healthier ones!

Forgiveness: The Key to Unlock Your Future

by

Inspired by Associated Press interview

Would you like to soar ahead in life unencumbered by emotional baggage? Then ask yourself: Is there anyone that you need to forgive or who needs to forgive you? Holding onto hurts, resentments of grudges takes up a lot of energy, even when you aren’t thinking about it. It’s like carrying a backpack that you have forgotten is there and yet it weighs you down. This is true for any emotional baggage, but especially for people that you carry in the pack that you have not forgiven.

And why is it so hard to forgive or even forget? Because there is an erroneous belief that forgiving someone makes what they did alright. There could not be anything further from the truth. When you forgive, you are not saying that what happened was acceptable, or that it wasn’t hurtful, or even that you think the person who did should be let off the hook. It merely says that you are done carrying the emotional hurt that gives away your personal power and holds you both in a knot of distress.

Rachel Wants to Know: “Is God Santa Claus?”

by

Recently, a six year old with sandy blond hair tied up in pigtails, asked me, with a look of hope in her large brown eyes, “Is God Santa Claus?” She had struggled for the last week with the idea of entities with two different names who could give her what she asked for every night before falling into a deep, safe sleep. It was apparent that if God and Santa were the same, then it all made sense and she really, really needed it to make sense. Without the heart to tell her that they weren’t, the truth of the matter seemed to put her to rest.

Dreams: Windows to Understanding Yourself

by

 Originated from an interview in the Huffington Post, with Stephanie Hallett, September 2017

 

Dreams are mysterious, curious, sometimes promising and other times troubling. Most people love to solve mysteries and know themselves better, and so dreams are a window to yourself and your intuitive wisdom. There is a wonderful example in the 2016 movie A Monster Calls. When the lead actor has a recurring scary dream, the entire movie is built around how he learns the lesson of the dream.

Hypnosis for Health: Why Doctor’s Health Orders Aren’t Always Followed and How They Can Be

by

Originally appeared in Self Magazine 2017

Doctors know that if they tell patients that being overweight is dangerous for their health, it has little or no impact on habit change. But why? Because they are speaking directly to the conscious mind. The subconscious is where the decisions are made! And the reason hypnosis works to create change is that it talks directly to the subconscious.

Real Conscious Living: Let Your Best Self Filter Through

by

Whenever we speak of Real Conscious Living, we talk of the core self, the real you within your deepest self. Usually this is where your heart and soul’s desires live, waiting for you to realize and actualize them. When you are living from these desires you typically feel a sense of rightness and joy, with the realization that you are doing exactly what you are meant to do. These desires can manifest in your career, leisure time, creative expression, relationships, health or any part of your life. You may become aware of a desire in a dream state, during a meditation or prayer exercise, or just from living consciously.

More about Real Conscious Eating

by

Perhaps you recently walked by the newsstand and noticed the magazine covers with the model-thin women on the cover that read, “Lose 10 pounds this month” and “Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes.”  Does this sound like a mass of contradictions?  It is!  The mixed messages about food in our society suggest that decadence and total health can happen in the same package.  Well, maybe they can and maybe they can’t but there is definitely room in the middle for a wonderful relationship with food.

Lessons from Pema Chodron, Buddhist International Author and Teacher

Getting Unstuck and Changing Triggers:  Choosing a fresh alternative

I have often found that Pema Chodron is a wonderful teacher when your life seems to be changing, when you want things to stay the same and they won’t, or even when you need to release destructive habits. She asks “What is Happiness?” She suggests that it includes relief from anxiety, depression and stress with a positive expectation of good, positive groundlessness, a state free of bias and predjudice, no preferences and full openness to the moment without expectation. It implies openness and freshness.
