NLP ~ Neuro-linguistic Programming ~ Plus Hypnosis

Hypnosis Demystified and Combined With Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)


Clear Negative Emotions

Girl Meditating on BeachAre you one of those people who thinks you cannot be hypnotized? SURPRISE! All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, AND you get into the hypnotic brainwave state at least twice a day in typical activities.

You are in the hypnosis brainwave state when you enter that condition (known to some as “la-la land”) right before you fall asleep –  and again when you re-emerge from sleep while awakening – before you get to full alert consciousness.

During meditation, you also are in a hypnotic state of mind. Let’s learn the benefits of combining a hypnosis process with Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). I have many tools and techniques to use in personal coaching and spiritual counseling sessions, and I count hypnotherapy and NLP as key components among them. Continue Reading →

Your Fingernails Tell Health Stories!

See What Your Manicurist Sees When Looking at Your Fingernails!

The manicurist might not recognize the symptoms your fingernails portray. However, some practitioners of Eastern and Western Medicine or of Holistic Healing Modalities can identify health problems by looking at your fingernails before you cover them up with nail polish. Human fingernail types Vector illustration

Here are some resources before we continue. They help define our terms of Eastern, Western, and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM / holistic healing). They also provide more pictures and links than I can include in this blog.

The National  Institute of Health (NIH) compares Eastern and Western approaches to medicine and health.

An easier way to understand it may be found in the blog of a person who has practiced “all of the above.” Dr. Emili Kim describes his findings.

Eye Catching – Stitchless Cataract Surgery

Eye Catching – Stitch-less Cataract Surgery Is a Blessing!

January 10, 2014 by Nancy | 0 comments

 Are you one of these?   →    Most of my friends are 20 – 50 years younger than I, and they don’t think about the reality of their forming cataracts or needing stitch less cataract surgery.

Surprisingly, some of those young people gave me the “Funky Fashionista Award” when I worked at Northern Virginia Community College; and they still listen to me.

So, here’s what I posted on Facebook a couple of days ago.

The Announcement

eye patch - glamouseye patch - glamous b+WOR … eye patch - black

 

Vell, Dahlings, I’m about to become a Woman of Mystery – on Wednesday.  I would prefer either of the first two looks; but I’m pretty sure I’ll get the third one when I emerge from cataract surgery on my right eye. If that goes well on the 8th, the left eye will get its chance on the 22nd. I do so hope it will improve my vision significantly.

Cataract Surgery – the Rationale

In researching this, I learned that – if you are lucky enough to grow old, you WILL BE unlucky enough to get cataracts; and, if you don’t have them removed early enough, they can solidify and become inoperable. So, I suggest you all think about it. The procedure takes only about 5 minutes, and you can go home as soon as they know you’re not going to have difficulties from the light anesthesia they use.

Chirp! Chirp!


What Is a Cataract?

You know the purpose of my blogs often is to educate, so here goes!

About WebMD

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebMD), my source, WebMD (http://www.webmd.com/) “…is primarily known for its public website, which has information regarding health and health care, including a symptom checklist, pharmacy information, “drugs information”, blogs of physicians with specific topics and a place to store personal medical information. …. by February 2011, WebMD’s network of sites was reaching an average of 86.4 million visitors per month… and is the leading health portal in the United States….


About Cataracts

This link to WebMD gives a clear explanation of the subject of cataracts, using pictures, as well as words.  Definitely worth watching for a couple of minutes. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/ss/slideshow-cataracts


Why Did I Have Cataract Surgery Now?

First, the deal is that you have to continue giving yourself eye drops from one day prior to cataract surgery to several days thereafter.  So, I ‘m doing that.ASEA

One of my cats is small and gray with darker gray stripes. cat, gray striped 1 He is too trusting/too stupid to move out of the way of an oncoming car. So, he blends right into the gravel driveway – especially at night – as he comes to greet me. Although I often would like to kill him, I would NOT like to kill him.  I also would prefer not to kill anyone else – myself included – while driving in the dark and stormy nights on roads that have no striping.

And, I am hoping to be able to read better (books and computer screens) without reliance on glasses.   reading glasses


How Do You Prepare?  It’s Simple

You have to:

  • Have  a “pre-op” clearance from your Primary Care Physician.
  • Provide a list of allergies (and any Power of Attorney or DNR instructions)
  • Provide a list of all medications you take and follow instructions about what to take or not take in the few hours before surgery
  • Fast (don’t eat solid foods) for 5 hours prior to surgery.
  • Drink clear liquids, if you want to, for up to 2 hours prior to surgery.
  • Wear comfortable clothes. ( You will remain dressed)
  • Do the eye drops thing the day before
  • Avoid wearing face cream, eye makeup, cologne/aftershave the night before and day of surgery
  • Avoid wearing mascara for one week prior to surgery

That’s It!


So, How Did It Go?

My Opthamologist is Dr. Nancy Eiseley at Eye Associates of Winchester http://www.winceyes.com/.  She does “no stitch” cataract surgeries at the Eye Surgery Center of Winchester:  http://eyesurgerycenterofwinchester.com/.

From start (entering, handing over the insurance information, and signing forms) to finish (leaving with someone else to drive), the whole thing took about two hours.

The truth is that I (unintentionally) was thIMGP2412e subject of much conversation, because of the tangerine colored blouse I wore!  ??? Maybe it was because this took place during the historically bitter cold of winter, and most people were dressed in brown, black, gray, or khaki???  The staff kept talking about it all through the pre-surgery prep phase.  It is a shimmering and rare color, which is lighter and softer than this picture and which resembles the inside of a ripe cantaloupe.  Who knew that would be conversation-worthy?!

hand with fingers in meditation poseThere I was, trying to get into a meditative state, but people kept talking to me and asking questions, while I lay on a gurney, with my right arm propped up and cuffed for blood pressure readings; while my left hand was set up for infusions; and while an oxygen tube was readied around my ears and nostrils.

They kept putting numbing drops into my eye and giving me little bits of information during this prep stage.   Note:  when the staff is about ready to wheel you into the OR (operating room), you must lie flat with your head softly cradled in place and slightly lowered.

The thickly-accented anesthesiologist introduced himself, and (as happens to me frequently) wanted to know what my country of origin is.  My way of speaking usually makes people think I am European or from a different locale.  As they took me into the OR, the nurses said something “in code” to him and told me he was the only man in the group, so they joke with him a lot.  My response was that he probably thought he either was in Heaven or in Hell (depending on how he feels about working only with women).

andy-gilmore-geometric-patterns-1I remember almost nothing else, except I think I said to the doctor (mid-procedure) that all I saw were a bunch of beautiful lights … and I did see that, along with varying geometric shapes like this one from the amazing artist, Andy Gilmore, whose work you can purchase via:  http://www.123inspiration.com/andy-gilmore-geometric-patterns/   I was feeling nothing thanks to the anesthesia and numbing drops.

It was over, pardon the expression, “in a flash.”  Painless.  But, no eye patch to make me a Woman of Mystery!  (When the second surgery was done – on the other eye – I was awake and talking with the physician the whole time!  I still saw geometric patterns.)


The Aftermath

As I continued to use the eye drops and another product I use to help damaged cells be repaired or replaced, my vision changed, noticeably for the better, as each half hour passed.  I saw less blurriness, etc.

One of the most fascinating things outcomes is the difference between the right eye (sans cataract and with a new lens) and the left (untreated eye).  Everything looks brighter, bluer, and like the whole world is under fluorescent lighting.  When I close my right eye, in contrast, the view from the left eye is much warmer, softer, and darker in color – like the sepia tones used in movies depicting stories from the 1800′s.

In some ways, on these cold, barren winter days, the warmer view would be preferable; but there will be much greater discernment of details under the corrected eye, once the blurriness recedes completely.  I was warned that I might have to wear sunglasses, both indoors and out, until I get used to the additional bright light.

I took a time-out from writing this to travel to Winchester for my post-op exam. To my surprise, I did not need sun glasses, and I COULD READ THE TEMPERATURE AND THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE’S DASHBOARD WITHOUT GLASSES OR ILLUMINATION!  It has been a long time since I could do that easily.

There still is some blurriness in the treated (and certainly in the untreated) eye; but I can tell there will be vast improvement.  I have no pain.  I do have occasional “flashes,” so the doctor dilated my eyes to make sure there is no detachment of the retina.  But, as of this moment, I seem to be healing fast, and all is well.  This lens allows me to be far sighted; the other eye lens will be configured more for nearsightedness to enable reading without glasses.

We’ll see.  Already I can see some things better without, rather that with, glasses!  YEA!

I recommend that, if it is time for you to do this, you should not wait.

Smiley Face - Wink - GirlThe only reason I waited this long to have cataract surgery is because my doctor actually did not realize how old I am, and she thought I was too young to do it.

NOT!

Emotional Freedom Technique – Tapping

Tapping (EFT) Coming Soon!

Eft_punkte

Tapping  = The  Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Hello, People!

Are you familiar with the “Tapping” (Emotional Freedom Technique –  EFT)  phenomenon?  This is a semi-miraculous, ritualized, way of “tapping” with your fingers on acupressure points on your body, while speaking about topics that have caused issues for you in areas such as health, financial circumstances, emotional pain, or some other theme.

For a more formal definition, here’s one from the ever-present Wikipedia:  “Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a form of counseling intervention that draws on various theories of alternative medicine including acupuncture, neuro-linguistic programming, energy medicine, and Thought Field Therapy.  During an EFT session, the client will focus on a specific issue while tapping on “end points of the body’s energy meridians.”  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapping.

The EFT Tapping Process   For those of you who are unfamiliar, here are the steps.  First, you identify the concern and pay concentrated attention to the sensations that arise, as your mind thinks about the issue and the emotions begin to be expressed in the body.  You might feel tightness, fear, pain, or any number of things.  As you experience whatever the body is communicating to you, you acknowledge it and assign it a number – between 1 and 10 – to describe the intensity of those feelings as you think about the problem.

You then state (usually aloud) that – in spite of this difficulty – you love and approve of yourself.  You do this three times, while tapping on the appropriate acupressure point.  (In this case, it is called the karate chop point.)  After that portion of the technique Is done, you go through a series of tapping points, using different words to overcome the feelings associated with that issue.  During the process, you stop periodically, to “check in” with your body and see if the sensations have changed.  You then re-assign a number between 1 and 10, if the intensity has transformed.  Often the number has gone from 10 to a very low number or to 0 after just a few minutes of this exercise; and the issue becomes resolved.

SOUNDS CUCKOO, DOESN’T IT?!!  But, guess what!  IT WORKS

Here is a link where you can learn much more and get testimonials about how great it is: http://www.thetappingsolution.com/.

So, why am I blogging about Tapping / EFT?  The answer is……..drum roll, please……..because I often do not like the words I hear being used to resolve the issues.  I think  the words – which are creating a new reality for you – need to be carefully chosen, so as to create the most healthful outcomes: mental, physical, and spiritual.

Consequently, I have decided to create some” tapping scripts on a wide variety of subjects.”  I’ll give a good sample on the website for free; and, if you like the sample, you can get more on my upcoming 8 For 8 program.  (Under many of my posts, I’ll be offering 8 something or others for $8…. In this case, 8 carefully crafted and tested scripts for $8.  Another example would be 8 short speeches (like wedding or retirement toasts) for $8).  So, stay tuned.  Tapping Scripts will soon be available and will focus on abundance, health resolutions, overcoming broken hearts or loss of loved ones, and more!    If you are interested, be sure to send me your name and email address; or, sign up when that opt in segment is added to my new website
