Creating New Neural Nets
How can we make our very cells more responsive to absorb positive nutrients? How can we change the negative behaviours and fearful mindset that centres around illness?
Beliefs create reality. In other words, we make this change by working from the inside out. We change our reaction to our life and our environment.
This is the very first thing that we need to change. Because it is only by changing our attitude towards ourselves and others that we can then alter our brain chemistry. When we alter our brain chemistry, we create new neural nets. Neural nets which can then form around the concept of HEALTH and wellbeing.
Through concentration and focus, we can change and reverse our beliefs
We can then move away from the old negative familiar ways and towards a more self-nurturing, positive outlook.
Opening up New Horizons
The following is an amusing analogy that I came across some years ago – I don’t know who wrote it, but it illustrates how taking responsibility for our thoughts and actions opens out our life to new horizons of possibility:
I walk down a street – there’s a huge hole ahead. Not paying attention, I fall in.
“Poor me”, I rant and rage. “Who made this wretched hole?“. “How could this happen to me?”. Yelling and screaming, I demand that someone pulls me out. “I’m a poor helpless victim” . “This misfortune has nothing to do with me”. I wait for someone else to pull me out.
It takes a long, long time, but finally someone comes to helps me out
Again, I walk down a street – there’s the same huge hole ahead. I FALL IN!!!
Shouting and screaming I demand “Why me?”. “They should know better than leaving this hole here”. “How am I going to get out of here?”
“What do I need to do to get myself out?”
I finally work my own way out
Walking down the same street – there’s the SAME hole again. This time, I see it, but I fall in anyway!
Feeling really fed up with myself, I determine that this time it will be different. Therefore, I ask myself; “How can I get myself out”? “What did I do to end up down here AGAIN”, “How can I become more aware for the next time”
It doesn’t take long this time, because I remember how I got myself out before.
I walk down the street – there’s a huge hole ahead. However I SEE THE HOLE. Finally,I walk around the hole.
I walk down another street
Do you notice how young children express their feelings immediately as they arise; they cry/tantrum/sulk as if their world is collapsing and then a few minutes later, they’re smiling through their forgotten tears. Emotions like anger, grief or fear are a normal part of the human experience but often they’re not allowed. How can we ever gain mastery over these emotions if we’re not allowed to connect to what we’re actually feeling in the first place?
True maturity lies in learning how to handle our emotions in an effective, even compassionate way and then move on with our lives, unencumbered.
Emotions are Energy in Motion. So what occurs then when this Energy in Motion is blocked, trapped and stagnated? Physically this shows up as tensions throughout the body; clenched muscles, held breath, damaged digestion and an overwrought nervous system (to mention just a few). Emotionally we manifest a whole range of false behaviours designed to disguise what we’re actually feeling by masking it with something else. Read More
The HHI’s First Anniversary was a great success with inspirational speakers from varied healing modalities and a great opportunity to hear keynote speaker Tony Buzan, inventor of Mind Maps share his unique insights. Mutual sharing is so necessary among healthcare professionals and provides us all with a great opportunity to learn more about ways we can support our clients.
I gave a brief talk about healing the wounded inner child through hypnosis. The evening overall was a great success. My warmest thanks to Liz Svensson and Sinead Wyse for all their hard work and creativity in bringing Healing Hub International to fruition.
When we release feelings of anger or hatred for another, we free up an enormous amount of energy that then becomes available to invest into other areas of our life. Do you ever notice that when you’re angry or resentful towards someone, your thoughts keep returning to that person or situation, again and again, dwelling on what was said or done, or even plotting revenge? This takes a lot of energy and leaves you with little or no peace.
Self judgment always stems from our own unhealed pain. “Just for today, I will not judge – starting with myself”
