Whoosh the Undesired Behavior

Tina was confident and consistent with her car driving skills. While most of her colleagues travelled by bus, she had been driving to office daily from more than a year. One sudden stroke of migraine induced a life-long fear of driving?

  While she was driving and waiting for the traffic signal to go green, she suddenly felt acute pain in her head and black out as she couldn’t see anything ahead. Everybody around started honking and she got so afraid and affected by this incident and lost all her confidence in driving. This was the last time she drove the car. Even in case of emergency she would not drive as she felt so fearful thinking she would again get the attack at the traffic lights.

  I and Tina sat down for a discussion where she shared that she had left driving from some 3 months as now she was quite scared after the incident.

  I asked her to close her eyes and imagine/ visualize a red frame and picture that moment of attack adding every possible memory to it, and then visualize at the bottom-right of the red frame, a small green frame where she could see herself driving confidently and happily as she had always done, and then as I made the sound “Whoosh” she had to expand the green frame and break the red one with it and then feel the green and open her eyes to break the pattern. Then again close her eyes and repeat the steps.

  She did this 5 times and later when she tried closing her eyes and visualize the red picture, she was amazed to realize that she could only think and see green picture. The old, scary and undesired pattern got completely vanished from her thought pattern. Next day onwards she started driving with the same zest and confidence as she had always been.

NOTE: This technique of changing the unwanted behaviors or neurological patterns is a powerful approach used by NLP. NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. It works on the principle that there is a connection between the neurological processes(“Neuro”), language (“Linguistic”) and behavioral patterns learned through experience (“Programming”) and these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life. Anyone can apply this simple technique of “whooshing” to let go of any unwanted behavior or thought pattern. 

CASE STUDY

Sahil was having severe back aches from a year and a half. He would stop in the middle of activities when this pain would come to foreground and this was affecting his productivity from quite some time. As we started discussing what he was desiring out of the session, he quickly answered I want to be free of this pain and ultimately Happy!!

We started with the session and I instructed him in order to induce the hypnotic state for the purpose of healing. As we forwarded, he began to feel tired in his body and started breathing fast and deeply. I asked him to share what was happening. Sahil said 

I am running in the small lanes, rather many people are running. I enquired him to find out how old he was and in which area he was running. Had he been to these lanes in this lifetime?

He said I have not been there before, it’s Islamabad. I am 20 years old.

I asked him about his current age. He said 20.

I understood the backache was definitely a trigger of some past memory.

I instructed him further to the count of 5, and asked him to find out more details about himself and the reason why he was running.

Sahil responded I am wearing a Maroon colored Pathani suit and I am being followed by people with big beards, they are running behind me. I am running to save my life. They are going to kill me.

I instructed him to go further and see what happened next, and find out why they were trying to kill him.

He said these people with swords and knifes in their hands are Muslims. They are killing me because I am a Hindu. I asked him to move even further and see what happens and find out which year it is.

He said its 46.  I questioned 46 of what?

He said 1946.  One of them has stabbed me in the back (just above the point where I feel the pain) with the sword and I have fallen down. I am in pain.

He died at the same spot.  I guided him on how to let go of the pain and the emotional trauma associated with the experience using one of the powerful letting go techniques(Hypnodrama).

 As he did that, he felt relieved and free of the pain. And finally affirmed “I AM HAPPY ”

NOTE: At times during the events, the emotional trauma gets locked within the sub-conscious even after the soul has made transition to a new life. And these memories tend to trigger physical or emotional issues sometimes as the experiences are stored in sub-conscious and remain alive and bound to the soul. So by revisiting such memories and settling the traumas associated with them, the issues can be healed.

CASE STUDY

Sanjay had been living a good life financially, physically, socially but always felt heavy and incomplete inside. Some kind of burden always was with him as If there was something he was supposed to do but couldn't because of the work pressures and other responsibilities. One fine day he decided to deal with the guilt he had been carrying with him for so long. As he came up for session I asked him what he wanted to accomplish through the session.

In guilt-stricken voice he replied “I want to be free of the heaviness that I am filled up with inside because I couldn't take care of my dad during his last times. It was not that I didn't want to do it but because I was not being able to balance my work and family life.”

He wanted to be relieved, free and happy.

As we started with the session, soon after the induction, he started shivering and crying. I asked him to share what was happening.

He replied “My mother is standing in front of me. I lost her few years back. I want to convey her the reasons, why I couldn't take care of dad. ” I guided him to go ahead to share whatever was creating the heaviness in his life from so long.

He continued to have conversation with his mom for 10 minutes and after a while stopped crying and notified “I am done.” I asked him to share how was he feeling after the talk and if he would like to share what happened during conversation.

He replied “I am light, relieved. While I was conveying her my thoughts she hugged me, loved me and said that she knows everything and does not need any explanations. What I did was right in that moment and I did my best.”

Sanjay looked extremely relaxed and relieved after the experience.

NOTE: Many a times we want to convey a lot of things to people around or even lost loved ones and do not get the chance to do so in the physical plane because of time and space considerations but we can settle things in the metaphysical realm as there are no time and space constraints in the spiritual world. And by getting into hypnosis we open ourselves to the dimensions of higher realms and thus are powerful enough to heal ourselves of any physical, mental, emotional issues.

CASE STUDY

Jack was experiencing severe pain in left leg from 6 months. He consulted many doctors, got as many physical tests done as required but nothing came out. Nobody was able to find out any physical issue with his leg. He got to visit our place for a day, as he is my brother’s very close friend. While he was sharing his issue, he suddenly asked “Nidhi, can you help me out with this?” I prompted “If YOU want to help YOURSELF”.

We went to my office for the session. While filling up the form and trying to trace the root cause of his issue during the counseling session, I asked “Jack, what do you really want out of this session?” He said “I want to be free of this pain and feel relaxed.”

As we started, I began to induce hypnotic state in him for the purpose of healing. The deeper he breathed, the more relaxed he felt. And the more relaxed he felt, the deeper he went. As we continued, I asked him to locate his healing space and share what all he could see.

He said “I can see nothing but white light”. I asked him to move forward and explore more.

He said “I see a sword”. I asked him if he could find out any connection between the 

sword and his pain.

He said “No.” I asked him to move ahead and find out at the count of 3.

As I counted till 3, he moved a bit more ahead and saw a temple far away on the top of a mountain. I reminded him of his powers and abilities (as everybody possesses while in hypnotic state) and asked him to climb to the temple at the further count of 3. He climbed to the temple, and went inside. I asked him to share what was happening.

Jack started smiling and said “It’s God Shiva’s temple. I am standing in front of His statue.  A golden-red light is coming from him to me and I am storing it in my heart. It is very relaxing.”  While I was still wondering about the significance of the sword he initially saw, he uttered “I am getting ready”.

I asked “Getting ready for what?”

He replied “For a war”.

Well I got almost cleared of the root cause of his leg pain, but still the actual experience was yet to follow.  So I asked him to move ahead and share what happened next.

 He suddenly started shivering, and began screaming for help. I asked him to share what was happening. Jack replied “I am fighting a battle and somebody has injured me by putting sword in my left leg, I am feeling severe pain, I can’t take the sword out and nobody is helping me with this. Everybody is busy fighting. I feel helpless”.

 I again reminded him of his powers and abilities to float above the experience and directed him to watch the memory from a distance and not to feel anything in his body.  As guided, he began to let the memory go away. The farther he let the memory go, the better he felt. And when the memory went out of his sight, he felt calm and relaxed in his body and said “I feel relaxed.”

 As he felt relieved of the pain, I took him out of the hypnotic state. After a while he said “I feel light, free and relaxed.” Well the purpose of the session got accomplished.

NOTE: At times during the events, the emotional trauma gets locked within the sub-conscious even after the soul has made transition to a new life. And these memories tend to trigger physical or emotional issues sometimes as the experiences are stored in sub-conscious and remain alive and bound to the soul.

What is Hypnotherapy?

•  Hypnotherapy, also referred to as hypnosis is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration.
•  Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a therapist using verbal repetition and mental images.
•  When you're under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and are more open to suggestions.
•  Although you're more open to suggestions during hypnosis, you do not lose control over your behavior. 

How does Hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy interacts directly with the inner consciousness to find core issue causes of problems in a person's life.

The conscious mind is more logical, critical and analytical as it is constantly making value judgments. If somebody was to say to you "you really should give up smoking, you know, it's terribly bad for you", you're highly unlikely to become a non-smoker on the spot. Rather you're more likely to come up with a dozen, rational sounding reasons as to why you should carry on smoking, or you might tell them to shove off and mind their own business. Even if you do consciously accept that you should give up smoking, it's not the conscious part of the mind that is keeping the habit in place.

 The unconscious part of the mind, on the other hand, is much more accepting. It is also quite literal and tends to take things personally, relating any information it receives to you as an individual. Hypnosis works by bypassing the critical conscious mind (usually through relaxation or linguistic techniques), and speaking directly to the unconscious in a language which it understands - pattern, association and metaphor.

 You can examine beliefs and thought processes that give rise to emotional, mental, physical and spiritual problems and make changes at the core level from which the outer manifestation originates.

MYTHS & FACTS about Hypnotherapy

There are various myths about hypnosis like “I will be asleep and will not be able to recall anything when I wake up” or “A hypnotherapist can make me do anything” or even worse “What if I would not come out of a trance?”

 But the facts are that “You will hear and remember everything” as you actually are in a very relaxed state and therefore you are more in control and therefore “A hypnotherapist cannot make you do anything against your will or your morals, ethics or beliefs”. And “Most people wake up feeling more refreshed, energized and relaxed after the trance”.

How is Hypnotherapy carried out?

• The process of hypnosis involves utilization of deep relaxation techniques thereby opening the doors to the vast reservoir of memories, the subconscious mind. The therapist assists in uncovering and exploring memories, emotions and past events which may affect a person's conscious mind.
• By activating your own inner resources, hypnotherapy can help you to heal numerous psychological and medical problems.

What can Hypnotherapy do for me?

• It can heal you of psychological, physical and medical problems which you might be carrying forward from years in this lifetime or may be past life times. 
• Also, hypnotherapy can be used to teach you how to relax using post- hypnotic suggestions regardless of time, place or situation.
• You can replace negative messages in your subconscious mind with positive suggestions. 
• Example: "I'll try" with "I CAN" or “I am no good” with “I am a worthwhile person”.

Is Hypnotherapy safe?

• Hypnosis is an absolutely safe therapy that can help you heal yourself without any medication. It’s a process which utilizes your own mind to cure you of your issues naturally.
• There are records of immense benefits derived by those who have undergone hypnotherapy in India and other parts of the world.

Spirit Release Therapy

Spirit release therapy uses hypnosis to open up a safe communication with any energy that does not belong to a person and a therapeutic discussion ensues, allowing the energy to be gently returned to the light. Even dark energies contain light and these too can be dealt with compassion and love.

 Earthbound spirits, negative thought forms, or dark energies can attach themselves to humans at times when they are vulnerable or suffering from trauma or negative emotions.At the end of a life that has ended with shock, confusion or unresolved issues, be they positive: not wanting to leave a loved one or negative: a desire to get revenge, the soul energy of a person does not travel into the light. As a result they can be stuck on the earth plane and, at a loss for where else to go, will be attracted to a person displaying similar energy.

 The emotions and feelings connected with a sudden, traumatic death can become the force which attaches a spirit to the earth plane. Anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, guilt, distress, even strong ties of love, can interfere with the universal transition into the Light. If a person dies by drug overdose, the newly deceased spirit may attach to someone who uses drugs or alcohol in order to maintain the sensations of the habit.

 A person can be vulnerable and open to attachment due to any mental or physical symptom or condition, strong emotion, repressed negative feeling, conscious or unconscious want or need. This vulnerability can act like a magnet to attract a foreign entity with the same or similar emotion, condition, need or feeling. Severe stress may cause susceptibility to the influence of an intrusive spirit. Alteration of the consciousness with the use of alcohol or drugs, especially mind drugs, opens the unconscious mind to invasion by discarnate beings.

Spirit Release is a therapy which comes from the space of compassion, not confrontation. It aims both to free the client and to assist the attached spirit to continue its evolutionary journey.

REGRESSION

Regression is a wonderful healing process to resolve an issue relating to an individual, faced by him or her, which is stopping them to reach their full potential and at times the person may be faced by issues and problems which may be limiting him or her to such an extent that they may feel as if they have been trapped into a cave with no opening.

 Age Regression includes recovering memories and feelings from events that occurred in the course of life since the time of birth. Inner child work is one of the most common types of age regression and could even be considered a field in itself.

 Past Life Regression (PLR) necessarily entails a belief in the theory of reincarnation. The therapy works on the basis that the cause of a person’s physical and /or psychological ailments might result from a trauma that the person had experienced in an earlier existence, or at any rate, by some sort of personal ordeal buried deep within the subconscious.
