Energy Psychology: A New Way to Heal the Body and Mind

Ever wondered why tapping on the body works?  If you have an inquiring mind, like me, articles like this make me very happy when I can get a deeper understanding of the processes involved in doing something as simple as tapping on meridian points.  Read on and see where psychology and, indeed, conventional medicine are changing their idea about the mind, the body and health in general.  I’m excited about where we are headed – no more sick care – only TRUE health care – health care in our own hands!

Clearing Your Judgements – a biggie!

 

Here is a section of an article from Christie Marie Sheldon’s blog on her Love or Above web-site that fits in with Emotion Code and Chinese Energetics.  In this article, she shows us how easily we can clear our judgements on anything.  The example she uses here is money, wealth and abundance but you can easily change the wording to cover any issue you are currently working on.  For instance, today I’m feeling under the weather so I asked about health, vitality and strength.  Too my amazement, I had 600 judgements around that (muscle tested for it as I do for most things).  After saying the clearing message, I rechecked and it came down to 303 so I repeated the process again and I now had 47 judgements.  Got a little stuck at this level, so added the words “in all time-lines and dimensions” to the clearing message which took everything down to zero.  It’ll be interesting to see how deleting these judgements changes things for me.  I encourage you to go to her web-site and explore her way of raising vibrations.

Christie Marie Sheldon’s post:

But, if its okay with everyone, I am going to use this as a teachable moment. Higher Consciousness and the energy of 700 and Above is actually an energy that flows all good through all doors and has no judgement on how it all comes in. Every judgment an individual makes limits how much is available to them. Any one judgment can shut thousands of doors to the flow of all good. Pure Consciousness is available to anyone and everyone at anytime and is given freely by the Asker and the Chooser…it’s Universal Law and it’s a choice to take the energy

.So, if you can imagine a Reality, called your Life, you have unlimited potential doors open to you. Let’s say thousands of doors in this example, in which you can let what you think is good come into your life. Now, every judgment you have about how it all comes to you….Such as, it can only come from “Hard Work” is a belief and rule and judgement you placed in your reality that now shut all the doors to things that could come easily. So, because you have the “Hard Work” rule, you now cannot be “Lucky” because “Lucky” would be too easy…you would be cheating or something. I have cleared this belief on thousands of people.

So, just one judgement can close thousands of doors as well. So, please everyone..check out your reality and ask, “How many judgments do I have about how money, abundance, and good can come into my Life?” For some people the number can be hundreds! This is what some of your Blocks are caused by…Judgements. There are other things that block you…but this is a biggie.

I just spoke to someone a few days ago and he only thought money could come through one door. All of his money had to come through this one door, or else it wasn’t worth it. Can you imagine how hard his life looks right now? Plus his energy was focused on the money going out instead of flowing into this one tiny door. So, I had him open thousands of doors for the good to come in…and only focus on it coming in.

So, do this as a Declarative Statement a hundred times and tell me how your life improves.

All Judgments I have about how money, wealth, and abundance comes to me..I delete and uncreate them all now. All judgements I have about how much money, wealth, and abundance, I allow into my life, I uncreate and delete it all now. I fill in with more wealth, abundance, and good than I ever expected and increase this exponentially in all ways.

I’m adding this lovely method to my tool-box of energy clearing and vibrational raising!!  Get to it, everyone,  do your work – let’s get rid of judgements!  If you got this far, you might like to watch this video where she explains all about “Love or Above”.

 

The Most Ancient Natural Medicine..

I spent a fair amount of time this weekend reviewing Master Nan Lu’s site on Traditional Chinese Medicine.  What brought me there was, of course, a tele-seminar interview….my nemesis.   After listening to him, reading his articles and viewing some of his videos, I have a better understanding of a form of healing that has always interested me.  Why? Maybe because it’s the oldest form of natural healing that’s becoming the newest form in this day and age.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) recognizes that true healing is a multidimensional process where the body, mind, spirit and emotions must all be addressed in the healing journey.  Most people think that TCM is just acupuncture but it also encompasses the use of herbs, diet, Qigong exercises, meditations, acupressure, and, most importantly of all,  the understanding of emotions and their relationship to the internal organ systems and their influence on health.  I got that connection when I found the Emotion Code yet taking a closer look at TCM and how the meridian system is laid out is giving me a better understanding of how clearing trapped emotions can be of such benefit.

I was fascinated to read his explanation of knee problems from a TCM perspective.  Who would have thought that knee problems really mean that you have a kidney function disorder and a Kidney energy deficiency rather than just a sore knee! (the Kidney meridians run through the knees)  Or that TMJ is related to a Stomach function disorder as well as a disorder of the Stomach meridian!  (the Stomach meridians run through the jaw area).   Or that a cough could mean so many different things depending on what other parts of you are affected when you cough!  You really must go to his web-site and check out this information…it’ll give you a new perspective on health and healing!   Make sure you download a copy of the “Four Gates for Ultimate Health” – scroll to the bottom of this page.  Do these every day and you will see positive changes in your health – guaranteed – might take awhile but, then, it took awhile for your symptoms to show so be patient and don’t give up!

I’d, also, like to suggest, if you have breast cancer, had breast cancer or know of anyone who does and who wants to use alternative methods of self-healing, that you go to this site where there are sections for Qigong exercises and acupressure points that can be learned to aid in the return to health.

Now, I’ll go and do some Qigong for my eyes!   You go do the “Four Gates for Ultimate Health”.

East Meets West – Spring Forest Qigong

I just love teleseminars! Why?  Because I get introduced to wonderful new healing modalities that are simple, easy to use and meant for everyone to learn and use for themselves and on their families. The latest one that intrigued me falls in line with what I’ve been focusing on with a group already – getting your energy flowing.

Spring Forest Qi-sagge and Qigong are going to be wonderful adjuncts to my practice – in fact, I’m using the Qi-sagge already with some pretty impressive results! It’s so easy to learn that I’m eager to teach it to others – in fact, the creator, Master Chunyi Lin, encourages anyone who learns the Qi-sagge to teach it to others so that there can be “a healer in every family and a world without pain.” As to the Qigong forms, again, easy to learn in a short space of time.

So, what is Spring Forest Qigong? It’s a healing art form from Traditional Chinese Medicine that offers everyone a simple yet very powerful way to awaken their natural healing ability put together in a manner that is easy for anyone to follow. Simplicity is the name of the game. With the Spring Forest Qigong Level One program, there are only eight active exercises that are like moving meditations which will strengthen your physical energy and help to open all of the energy channels (meridians) in your body. They help bring your Yin (feminine, passive, spiritual) energy into balance with your Yang (masculine, active and physical) energy. Too much imbalance between the two leads to blockages in the body and, of course, to what we know as dis-ease processes (insert any name you want here).

In addition to the active exercises, Master Lin has created a meditation, The Small Universe, which teaches you how to consciously move your energy from one point to another using breath, sound and visualization. This meditation helps to clear energy blockages along the Governing and Central meridians – the main two energy channels, along the front and back of you, that control and influence the all the other channels in your body.

The part of the program that I am most excited about is the Qi-sagge - a technique that combines the energy principles of qigong with the art of massage! Like I said, it’s very easy to learn as it consists of about 32 points (on each side of the body) that are stimulated to open up the energy channels (meridians) related to the points. These points are on the head, shoulders, back, arms, hands, hips, legs and feet and are among the most important energy points in your body and stimulation of these points have a wide-reaching effect on your system.

For instance, if I massage the point on your elbow, the energy goes down the forearm to your index finger, flows back up along a specific energy channel to the top of the shoulder, then flows inside the body to the lungs and the large intestines clearing everything along the way.  Stimulating these points can also have a balancing effect on the emotions – which is interesting to me, in that, when I use the Emotion Code and find that a meridian is out of balance, it is often a trapped emotion that is the root cause.  Sweet when two modalities totally complement each other.

Watch this video to get a glimpse of a Qi-ssage session…..

So, those of you in my neighborhood, if you want to experience a Qi-ssage, book an appointment with me.  If you want to learn more about Spring Forest Qigong, the exercises and the Qi-ssage, attend the Monday Informational Sessions in April or, if that’s not an option, then email me and let me know if you would be interested in attending a week-end workshop on this.   For the rest of you, go here to learn more about this wonderful easy system and become the healer in your family!

And now….Emotional Freedom Tapping!

On Monday, our group (you can join us, if you’d like) spent the evening exploring the many different ways you can approach the negative aspects of weight loss – like body image, cravings, things that have been said to you, or that you overheard, at some point in your life.

I want to expand on this last one because I bet we all can relate to being told to “eat what’s on your plate because there’s starving children (wherever) who would love to be eating this!”  I just checked myself and wouldn’t you know it – I have trapped emotions relating to this statement!  Using the Sway Test, I found that it’s the emotion “love unreceived” which I didn’t process somewhere around the age of 5.   Dr. Bradley Nelson’s definition of this emotion reads ” a feeling that love expressed is or has been rejected, feeling unwanted, not cared for, not accepted, a lack of love where it is desired.”

I released this one and discovered that I had another one – “taken for granted” – picked up around age 7.  Definition of this is – “feels treated with careless indifference, not given thanks for something accomplished, similar to ignored.”  Released this one and have no others so it will be interesting to see if this makes any difference to me as my current tendency is to eat everything on my plate even if I’m full before it’s clean.  Oh, those trapped emotions – they can play havoc without you knowing it!

It was great fun to share our stories, to play with different ways of posing the questions, to discover someone’s trapped emotion without them saying anything – just thinking their question, and to run the magnet down their backs.  Love these sessions!

Next Monday, we will be exploring Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT) which we can all use in order to change our relationship with food and our body image in a short time.  EFT involves tapping on specific acupressure points that link to the meridian system which runs everywhere in your body and talking out loud about your problem in order to reprogram your mind and nervous system to adopt an entirely different attitude towards everything related to why you can’t lose weight.

In essence, this will neutralize your negative thought patterns and emotions that are keeping you stuck – allowing you to be at peace with them – and, then, you instill what you want instead.  A simple painless method that stops the self-sabotage, wild cravings, changes your self-image and cuts the emotional crap that is usually is the root cause of being over-weight.

I say usually because sometimes you also need to look at nutritional imbalances as well – any sensitivities to food substances can set up an inflammatory process that can balloon you up a size or two – and all the tapping in the world won’t help you then.  That’s where the Sway Test can be used to test for anything that upsets your digestive system – use this to improve your food choices so your body can detox and absorb the nutrition offered by your new lifestyle eating pattern.  Add in the EFT and you have a winning combination!  The unwanted inches will just melt away!

The Emotional Freedom Tapping is forever evolving and being applied to a large number of issues we can all relate to.   If you want to really dive into learning more about this fabulous technique, you might want to join the over 150,000 people who have signed up for the free 2011 Tapping World Summit that begins on Feb 21 – click here to learn everything you would like to know about EFT and the Summit!

I’m so excited to share with my group, and you, yet another fabulous method of quick and easy change that I found while doing research for this blog – it’s called “Ask and Receive”.  Watch Margaret Lynch, Master EFT practitioner and presenter at the Summit, receive the benefit of this method by clicking here.

Until next time, begin or keep on tapping!

Let's Begin The New Year Right!

It’s been awhile since I last posted anything here – Christmas came around with grandchildren to play with and then I needed time to rest and rejuvenate from a sinus infection that appears to be making the rounds.  In this first part of the New Year, which, by the way, is the year of creativity, I’ve been reflecting on what I would like to offer you, the readers, in terms of information and ideas – I have lots but would like to be able to focus on you and your concerns.  So, would you be willing to give me feed-back on what subjects you would like to receive more information about?

1. Do you want to know more about clearing emotions with the Emotion Code or EFT or TFT?

2. Do you want to know more about the Feldenkrais Method and how using this can reconnect you with body?

3. Do you want to know more about meditation and its benefits?

4. Do you want to know more about balancing your meridians and chakras for better health?

5. Do you want to know more about nutrition?

6. Or do you want all of the above?

Leave a comment for me or email me at lou5@telus.net with your suggestions.

In the meantime, I will share with you 2 things that are coming soon and that you can participate in….Jan 31 will be a showing of the documentary “Food Matters – let food be thy medicine” at 853-106 Avenue Dawson Creek from 7 PM to 9 PM.  It’s full of helpful information on making better choices nutritionally that are easy to implement and I can see a movement of some sort arising from this.   Secondly, I will be hosting classes bi-weekly, starting Feb 3 at 7 PM, on Donna Eden’s 4-day Introductory Intensive Energy Medicine for Women course where we will view and practice the energy balancing routines that are featured in her book “Energy Medicine for Women”. In fact, here is something I highly recommend for everyone – her 5 Minute Morning Routine:

Did you take the time to try this out?  If you did, how different do you feel?  No?  Go back and DO IT!  I wouldn’t recommend anything I haven’t already tried – this is good – just do it for your own well-being!

I look forward to hearing from you as to what you want to know more about….until next time……

Eating For Your Body’s Health!

Image via Wikipedia

Eating your food, all your food, raw is not something most people think about trying.   However, if we ate most of our food in it’s natural state, we’d be able to reverse most of the chronic degenerative dis-eases known to man…after all, a crappy diet is primarily the reason we get to that state in the first place!

Are you aware that a low grade inflammatory state is what is behind heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and that this state is kept in place by eating foods that our bodies can’t tolerate?

This is why I began my experiment of using the Sway Test as my indicator of how to feed my body in the best way possible.   And, here is what I discovered:

1. It takes less time to shop for my food (I used to like to linger over my selections and would end up with a lot of food that would stuff up my sinuses!)
2. Because I’m trusting my body to choose what it needs for nutrition, I’m a lot less stressed about making the right choices food-wise.
3. I’m losing weight (slowly) because I’m really satisfied with the meals I’ve been putting together when I use the Sway Test for everything – I even choose the spices and condiments this way and everything is really tasty!
4. I’ve even extended this to eating out – using another, more discrete method of Energy Testing – to choose off the menu selections.  Then, I just enjoy what’s on my plate without stressing on whether I’ll regret it later!

Truthfully, I just feel better about the whole food thing now and will continue to do this for myself and would encourage you to do the same for yourself.

I’m waiting for a couple of DVD’s called “Simply Raw” and “Raw for Life” to come in and then will share this with the people of Dawson Creek in January – so look for when this will happen!!!  In the meantime, check out these video clips from the DVD’s and notice how many people have commented or liked this page.  Get your own copy and take your health to a new level!

Move Your Energy!!!!

We had so much fun yesterday at the weekly Informational Session -laughing our way through tapping (and thumping) sequences to get our energy moving using Donna Eden’s Morning Energy Sequence (www.innersource.net/em – Resources tab – free handout) – an easy 10 minute routine that really revs you up!   Do this at least once a day and  I promise you good things will happen!   Like to follow along instead of reading? – then find her on youtube and breathe and tap along.

Keeping our energies moving is one true way to better health – do it with a smile on your face and it gets even better!   Did you know that Chinese Medicine is based on keeping the energy flowing through the 12 meridians?  The lung, heart, stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, bladder, small intestine, large intestine, kidney, circulation sex and triple warmer meridians run through and/or are connected to every tissue in your body.  Simply tapping on various points on your face, head or torso can keep them flowing nicely – add some words to your tapping, as is done with the Emotional Freedom Tapping, and you can make huge changes in your life!

Easy Steps to Flowing Energy:

• Smile (better still, laugh!) – changes your thoughts and feelings, doesn’t it?  Laughing works the diaphragm and massages all your organs as well.
• Breathe deeply - centers you, brings extra oxygen to your cells, clears the head
• Stretch, yawn, move around, dance – opens up the joints, expands you, gets the blood moving
• Tap, thump or rub – all over yourself – especially your head, face and torso – you’re bound to activate an acupuncture point or meridian and open up a blocked area by accident!
• Integrate the 2 sides of your brain – tongue at the roof of your mouth or touch opposite knee to opposite hand – anything that crosses the mid-line of your body.
• Shout!!! Just for the fun of it! and make it come from the bottom of your feet!  Get that voice energy moving!
• Do Brad Yate’s “Tap of the Morning” routine to get your day off to a great start!

Start your day off doing any of these and your day will flow much better – try it for a few days and see!

Honestly, if we all could get used to the idea that everything is energy – thoughts, sound, movement, emotions, illnesses, humans, plants, animals, rocks, water, air, everything around us – and could get used to the idea that everything is connected through the transmission of energy – then, maybe, we’d all begin to understand that we can affect the way energy moves – especially within ourselves.

I guess that makes each and every one of us natural healers.  So, get to it, folks, quit relying on everyone else to make you feel better – get your own energies moving, get back to having fun with it, learn some different techniques and then teach them to someone else.   Before you know it – the whole world will feel better!  Or at the very least, you will and that’s what counts!

Eating According to My Body's Requests

Image via Wikipedia

Now, how does one do this?  I decided yesterday before I went grocery shopping that I would only buy what my body asked for.  How did I do that?  Sway (or energy/muscle) Testing, of course!!  It’s easy to do… let me refresh your memory or introduce it to you.   Simply stand comfortably (preferably with your eyes closed), take a deep breath to relax yourself – then, say “my name is..(insert your name here)”.   Notice which way you feel yourself swaying – either forward or back.  Then, say “my name is ..(use Bob or Joe or somebody’s name you don’t like)” and notice if you move in the other direction.  Whichever direction you move when you say your own name is your truth direction or your “yes”.

When I went shopping this time, I had no list and had decided that I would trust my body’s requests and would, somehow, make meals based on what ended up in my cart.  I just picked up an item and held it against my stomach and asked “Is this what my body needs this week for nourishment?”   It’s a very interesting way to shop – try it sometime!   The fun part now is putting together meals…I’m trying something new here, too.

I’ve decided that for this week, or for as long as I can stand it, I will Sway Test for, not only, what my body wants me to eat but, also, for any seasonings and condiments.  So, today, for lunch, I made a salad of spinach, kiwi, sprouts (my own) and flax oil – I even Sway Tested how much of each to use and was, pleasantly, surprised to feel full after eating.   Then, my supper consisted of pork (thinly sliced, seasoned with Sway Tested seasonings) and cooked in coconut oil along with steamed asparagus and served with a, sort of, Caesar salad.    Again, filling and satisfying!   The pork selection surprised me as I have all sorts of fish in the freezer but, what the heck, maybe my body knows something I don’t know as to what vitamins or minerals are needed today.

It’ll be an interesting week – I’m really curious as to what changes this new way of fueling my body will bring.   I’ll keep you posted!

Hello world!

I just read an email from Kaitlyn Kyet, visionary creator of the VibesUp products, who reminded me that we all have something to say and there will always be someone who is interested in hearing from us…so, here I am – to share my thoughts and to pass on what I find interesting from others.   For now, I will pass on what Kaitlyn suggests in her email…..ENERGIZE EVERYTHING!!!

I carry VibesUp products in my clinic, Northern Lights Massage Therapy, and love them!  I use different items all the time – for myself and for my clients in their sessions.   The brilliance of these products is that they continually raise the vibrational level of everything they come in contact with.  So, the next time I go grocery shopping, I intend to do what Kaitlyn does…energize food items randomly throughout the store since she’s done testing that shows that once one item has been energized, everything it touches also becomes energized.  Can you imagine the benefits of this?  Who knows how long the energy would last but, imagine if it lasts for a long time and is continually passed on from one food item to another as they come into contact with what’s in your cart and, then, in the bag and, finally, in your pantry or someone else’s  pantry!  Then the food would be healthier for us – imagine those benefits!

So, if you have any VibesUp products – bracelets, squishies, the new Earth Bottom water bottle – be brave and start helping everyone else out – energize something the next time you are shopping!
