Reconnecting to Your Authentic Self

A few days ago at Rocky Mountain Healing center, after a client came out of her session the receptionist asked me “what do you do in there”?  Her question was in part due to the positive shift in the woman, (the before and after) so to speak, partly due to the fact that I am new to the center and partly because there is so much myth and misinformation about hypnosis.

Hypnosis leads subjects to their forgotten authentic selves. By quieting the critical conscious mind through relaxation, the journey of transformation begins. Awareness in this altered state opens stored memories. Because trance is a naturally occurring and self-controlled state, it is possible to find out where someone else’s program, limiting old programs or unconscious programs are overriding personal desires.  Learning how to creatively craft new ways of utilizing “self-talk” along with the releasing and resolving of previous limited experiences, results in the elimination of negative habitual behaviors, self-sabotaging thoughts and unexplained blocks.

Self-hypnosis moves you rapidly into a healthier, clearer way of living through self-empowerment.  Repetition is one of the main ingredients for success.  You become the writer, director and star in your life.  Hypnosis works at the subconscious level where beliefs, memories and creative abilities are developed and stored.  Hypnosis is a safe, time tested, researched and proven techniques for deep, long lasting, profound changes to occur.

Please contact me for a complimentary ½ hour session.

Create a fabulous day.  You are here to do just that and nothing less!

Prevention is the Best Medicine

If you knew that you could reduce your chances of chronic disease by simply shifting decisions you make multiple times a day, would you make the choices that would possibly save and shape your life?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “A few, largely preventable, risk factors account for most of the world’s disease burden. Chronic diseases are the major cause of death and disability worldwide, and increasingly affect people from developing as well as developed countries. This reflects a significant change in diet habits, physical activity levels and tobacco use worldwide as a result of industrialization, urbanization, economic development and increasing food market globalization…”

What is going on? “People worldwide are consuming more foods that are energy-dense- high in sugar and /or saturated fats – or excessively salty” Not only are these food substances bad for your body, but most are highly addictive and create ravaging cravings for more.

Depression and Physical Pain

While some may argue to the lack of empirical evidence on the direct association between depression and pain, researchers believe there is a known connection between depression and physical symptoms through shared neurological pathways. The brain’s chemicals that regulate moods, thoughts, and feelings, also moderate and reduce pain signals. In the case of depression, where there is an imbalance in the neurotransmitters, the filtering mechanism of pain is negatively impacted, thus increasing the body’s sensitivity to pain.

Several studies have found an association among negative thought patterns, stressful life events, and incidence of major depressive disorder. There also appears to be a strong connection between severe depression and a preexisting personality pattern that includes dependence, anxiety, need for approval, dysfunctional thinking, and a weak self-image. Traumatic events, particularly those occurring early in life, have also been found to contribute to a vulnerability to depression. Physical, sexual, and emotional abuse; an unstable family life; and insecure attachment can leave us vulnerable to depression.

How Much of What and Why?

I am asked frequently how much we need to stay healthy. How many fats? How many carbs? How much protein? These three nutrients are called macro-nutrients. They are called this because these are the nutrients we need the most of.

I’ve gathered a little information to help you to understand these topics a little better, helping you to make better choices for yourself and your family.

Protein supports the maintenance and growth of body tissues. Protein is also the second-largest energy store, (carbohydrate is the primary source of energy). The recommended intake of Protein for healthy adults is ... (get out your calculator) .66 grams per kg of weight a day. For children 1 - 3, the recommended amount is 1.5 grams per kg per day. This is because children are growing and need a considerable amount more than adults. The average American eating the Standard American Diet eats way more than this recommended intake. Excessive intakes may contribute to risk for certain chronic diseases such as increased urea production, hypertonic dehydration, acidosis, azotemia, greater risk for type 2 diabetes, diarrhea, gout, osteoporosis, and certain cancers.
