The ‘Magic’

Posted on by

I’m continually impressed and satisfied (even after over twenty years) with the results that this work creates for people and the one-on-one clients that I see during the week.

That old habit of analysing things and trying to work it out in the head, once that is put to bed, the real healing begins to take place, or as some clients call it, ‘the magic happens’.

And to the intellect this does some like magic, because ‘it’ isn’t doing the work. It feels automatic and so it is labeled  ‘magic’. But as I mentioned to one client this week, we don’t go around every moment of the day thinking that our heart beating is magic. We forget about it, we take it for granted. We forget just how sophisticated our subconscious bodymind is. Then in sessions when we turn it back onto your inner needs and goals, more of that magic kicks in and it seems amazing.

I’m continually excited when I make more breakthroughs in this method, advance the work further (even more so currently with the research and writing of my first book – to be released soon) and especially when I help people that have ‘tried everything’, as I often hear.

There is a very deep reward in this work, a very deep feeling of being and depth to the soul that opens up that is nourished in sessions, that also beautifully, spills over onto myself. This is such a healing and enlivening state, everyone should be feeling this at least once in their day.

It helps to keep you young, free, happier and healthier in mind, body and spirit. Its a sipping (or even better, drinking) of the life force that permeates you all day and everyday.

It speeds up healing and it works wonders for your health!

Subconscious Conflicts – Road Blocks to your Goals

Posted on by

Do you have trouble achieving your goals?

Achieving goals is a step at a time process. Making decisions in each moment that are aligned with your aims. However the subconscious within you is also trying to get its needs and aims met. Many of them set a long time ago (from childhood).

So often those aims are in conflict with your present day goals and wishes. So you have road blocks within you. Your subconscious often will not allow you to achieve your aims (whether they are career, financial, relationship or health related) unless its  more urgent needs are met.

This work provides the conditions to help you resolve the subconscious needs within you, helping to heal your subconscious body, freeing the way to achieving your deepest goals and wishes.

This cannot be done consciously. It requires involving your body, emotions and spirit at a deeper level. This deeper level is the mindfulness, alpha/theta frequency level of your mind and body. Working at this level allows for the real changes and releases to occur.

This has been my expertise and specialty for the last 21 years. Helping people access areas deep within their subconscious body where the conflict and forgotten, unmet needs reside.

Fighting with this part doesn’t work.
Drugging it is not the answer either.

It is a real unfinished need, deep within you. And it is waiting to be heard, met and healed.

Stillness

Posted on by

Who we are I believe, correlates more with the state of stillness than it does with our intellectual thinking. Your ability to feel stillness, to just be with yourself, the world, nature, or with others, is a greater indication of your maturity and level of humanity.

Stillness is not reading a book while lying on a beach or watching TV numbed out on the couch. Stillness is being comfortable with silence and doing seemingly nothing in that moment for a period of time. Whether with yourself alone, or with another.

So in Body Psychotherapy and in fact with all the work done in a session with a client, once the initial talking is done and we move to deepening, there is a lot of stillness time. The stillness can be quiet or active, but there are few words if any, it is simply still. The thinking becomes less important and the attention moves to the body and the inner workings of the subconscious.

Stillness breathes in fresh air to a crowded over thinking, over worked mind and gives the body a chance to speak and heal itself in areas that had been locked and pushed away for far too long.

This is why Mediation is a good practice. To meditate you need to accept stillness.

‘BE’ and still get everything done!

Spending quality time for self centering and whole body contact with yourself is crucial in this day and age. Especially with all the distractions, demands on our time and our highly over worked society. There is so much ‘doing’ that the ‘being’ part of us, our more real nature, is squashed or put on hold with ‘some day I’ll…’ or ‘one day I’ll….’.

It is very important to step off the over worked ‘doing’ cycle and allow yourself to have ‘arrived’ in the present moment, to just ‘be’ again. (Which is what the over doing most times is trying to accomplish, to get you to where you can just ‘be’ again.)

Most people don’t realise that they can just ‘be’ and still get everything done that they need to. Rather than the other way around that we are brought up with (and much less efficient way) in our western culture, ‘I’ll do do do, so then I can ‘get there’ to relax and be myself. You rarely get there in this way.

So if you allocate some regular time to ‘being’ each week, your ‘doing’ becomes much more efficient, creates less drama, is much less erratic, more fulfilling, and you feel more in control of your life. No one else or thing is running you.

How slowly or quickly this happens will depend on how much you are carrying from the past and how easily you can accept, feel, release and let go that past, over time.

Releasing Blocked Emotion is Critical to the Mind Body Connection

Posted on by

With one of the orders for my Guided Self Healing CD this week, the customer mentioned that he had come across my YouTube videos and interview. He said that my approach seemed to tie in with a book that he had just read: “The Biology of Belief”, by Bruce H. Lipton, PhD.
Bruce trained as a “Darwinian” biologist and discovered that every body cell has receptors which govern its behavior and respond powerfully to emotional energy which is subconscious.

My reply was that Yes! indeed, my work definitely ties in with Bruce Lipton. I have read his book and seen him live and it is good to see a respected scientist finally starting to ‘get it’. (For his troubles he was shunned out of his University post.) But I put my hand out to Bruce for following his truth and not sticking within the limits of the old medical model box.

Also I’d recommend looking up the work of Candice Pert and her book, ‘Molecules of Emotion’. More proof from a respected scientist that our mind and body are truly connected.

The scientific world will eventually catch up and realise that your mind is in your entire body and that every cell has intelligence to listen to your mind there. And that releasing blocked/unresolved emotion is critical in creating this mind body connection.

Block your feelings and you block your connection to the intelligence of your entire body. Free your feelings and you begin to tap an incredible power house of energy and healing that you can guide to heal whatever you want.
