Is There Science Behind Emotional Energy Healing?

Does it really work?  How does it work?  Is this legitimate?

Just like any other movement or phenomenon, energy healing and emotional energy healing have people lining up on all sides. While some people might stand firmly behind traditional Western medicine, others are just as sure that energy healing holds the key to health. Other people might maintain some skepticism but wonder, “how does energy healing work?” as they keep an open mind.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that there is new information emerging all the time about the energy field of the body. Science has actually shown us that our bodies are more than 99% energy. In fact, if you removed all of the “empty space” (i.e. energy) from our bodies, “the entire human racewould fit into the volume of a sugar cube”! You read that right — not just your body, the entire human race.

Theoretically, How Does Energy Healing Work?

The idea of energy healing and the effects of emotional energy on body isn’t new. There is actually research to support our assertion that emotions are energy! The late David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D and author of the book Power vs. Force, discovered that the energy in someone’s magnetic field (their “log level”)  can be profoundly affected by their emotions. He discovered that the body’s energy level actually increases as an individual feels more positive emotions. To a lot of people, this probably seems logical. Don’t you feel more energetic when you feel happy, and more sluggish or weak when you feel sad?

The Scale of Consciousness

Further, Dr. Hawkins learned that cells actually died with a log level under 200 on the Scale of Consciousness, where negative feelings like hate, shame, regret, humiliation, or despair exist. This evidence would suggest that taking care of our emotions is vital to not only our overall happiness but to our physical health!

When it comes to the work of energy healing, The Emotion Code™ works by first helping you identify, then release the energy of negative emotions that, according to Hawkins’ research, could adversely affect your health. This is done by tapping into the subconscious mind via muscle testing and asking questions that can help identify Trapped Emotions. Then, using a magnet and principles of ancient Chinese medicine, that negative energy can be released from the body’s energy field. Our premise is that by releasing negative emotional energy, we can enable the body to recover from emotional and physical discomfort. We believe the studies cited here, plus the wealth of testimonials we have received, support that premise.

Other Research of Interest

Research about the energy field of the body and its organs is ongoing. For now though, there are many interesting studies that seem to support the idea of energy healing and even the part emotional energy can play in our health. Below you’ll find just a few of those, and there are many more in the newly updated Emotion Code book.

The  heart’s magnetic field  extends several feet in diameter around the body! What could this indicate about the idea of the Heart-Wall?
When a person feels love or affection for another person, the  heartbeat  of the person sending that love or affection  becomes measurable in the magnetic brain waves of the recipient .We see this as evidence that we are all connected by the energy of emotions!
Researchers and neurologists at Vanderbilt Medical University have investigated the use of static magnets to treat chronic discomfort.
The National Institutes of Health National Center for Complementary Health (NCCIH) has spent years conducting research about the possible benefits of energy healing on conditions like wounds, fractures, cardiovascular health, cancer, fibromyalgia, arthritis and more.

Our Own Study

Discover Healing recently conducted our own study, where we collected the self-reported status of 158 participants, before and after having energy healing sessions using The Emotion Code™. Our volunteers told us about what they were feeling before any sessions were done, and then again at least one week after having their Heart-Walls cleared using Emotion Code techniques. Here is what participants reported at the end of the study*:

Symptoms of self-reported ‘depression’ decreased by 37%
Symptoms of self-reported ‘post-traumatic stress disorder’ decreased by 31%
Symptoms of self-reported ‘anxiety’ decreased by 10%

Watching the Trend

Over 50 major hospitals and clinics throughout the US offer some form of energy healing. The Emotion Code™ is a great example of an emotional energy healing modality, and we’ll be watching closely as more studies are released that support energy healing and its place in medicine. We recommend that you keep an eye on our website for updates, and conduct your own “study of one” using The Emotion Code™.

The Science of Emotional Eating & What You Can Do!

Emotional eating and food addiction are very real problems… While emotional eating is a universal phenomenon and won’t do any significant harm in the short term, if you find yourself reaching for comfort foods on a regular basis, it can lead to significant problems, both physical and psychological.

Physically, emotional eating can lead to obesity and related health problems, and psychologically, it may delay or prevent you from addressing your true emotions and sources of stress. Eating to avoid facing feelings is like putting a ‘Band-Aid on a broken arm.

The Chemicals Involved in Emotional Eating

Your emotions and food intake both result in a cascade of biochemical reactions, and these chemicals can have a potent effect. As explained in Dr. Pamela Peeke’s book, “The Hunger Fix: The Three-Stage Detox and Recovery Plan for Overeating and Food Addiction,” the neurotransmitter dopamine is a critical player in all forms of addiction, including food addiction.

The stress hormone cortisol and the neurotransmitter serotonin also play important roles. As reported by the Huffington Post.

“Cortisol is our main stress hormone, triggering our fight-or-flight instinct. It also regulates how our bodies use carbohydrates, fats and proteins. So if we’re stressed or anxious and cortisol kicks in, that can make us want to carbo-load.

‘When we’re stressed, our bodies are flooded in cortisol,’ said … Albers. ‘That makes us crave sugary, fatty, salty foods.’ Then there’s dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with learning about rewards. It kicks into gear at the promise that something positive is about to happen, like eating a food you love.

The comfort foods we turn to because they taste so good give us a surge of dopamine, Albers said, and we look for that high again and again … And let’s not forget serotonin, aka “the happy chemical” … serotonin itself isn’t in food — but tryptophan, an amino acid necessary to produce serotonin, is.

Famously associated with turkey, tryptophan is also found in cheese … Carbs can also boost serotonin levels, which can improve your mood, and chocolate, too, is linked to a serotonin spike.”

Comfort Foods Lower Cortisol Levels in Highly Stressed Individuals

According to the experts on eating disorders interviewed by Huffington Post, emotional eating is primarily triggered by stress and boredom. Essentially, the act of eating “gives us something to do. It fills our time, gives us a way to procrastinate,” Albers says.

Food Versus Feelings

Over time, eating becomes associated with emotional relief; it’s a way to temporarily distance yourself from emotional discomfort and dampen your experience of stress. We can also have trapped emotions vibrating inside the body which leads to food addictions, sugar addictions and much more.  The emotion code energy healing technique can release those trapped emotions that are causing and contributing to this!  Hypnosis is another modality that can help you to get rid of old negative habits and to create new ones’ using the unconscious mind, where all is stored.

Comfort Foods Are Associated With Positive Memories

An interesting study published in 2015 found that people reach for comfort foods when they feel isolated in some way, because the food in question reminds them of a strong emotional relationship they once had. Highlights from this study include the findings that:

Comfort food is associated with relationships (it has “social utility”)
Feeling isolated predicted how much people enjoy comfort food
Threatened belonging led those with secure attachment to enjoy comfort food more

Here, a group of undergraduate students at the State University of New York at Buffalo were asked to recall a time when a close relationship was under threat, or a moment when they felt alienated and alone. Another group was not given this instruction.

Afterward, the group that was instructed to think back on an emotionally stressful time were found to be more likely to eat comfort foods, and they rated the tastiness of those foods higher than the group that were not eating to dampen their emotions. Huffington Post notes:

“Think about all the happy and comforting memories you have involving food. Maybe your family used to celebrate occasions with a trip to the ice cream shop, or maybe your mom or dad used to soften the blow of a bad day with macaroni and cheese. When you’re feeling rejected or anxious today, eating one of those foods is an instant connection to that soothing time.”

How to Separate Your Emotions From Your Eating

If emotional eating strikes now and then, it probably will not cause you any harm. The real danger lies in chronic emotional eating, which can undermine your health and emotional well-being. So, what can you do?

To start with, we have to remember food’s true purpose — to nourish us.  Ask yourself, Am I truly physically hungry?  IF not, what am i hungry for?  Love, attention, compassion, connection, ….Eat slowly and mindfully without the TV or computer.  Stop eating when you feel satisfied but not full!  I also get clients to ask themselves… “Is this food bringing me towards or away from my goals?”  

Lynn combines Emotion Code Energy Healing to release any trapped emotions causing emotional eating, sugar addiction, junk food cravings and more… along with hypnosis for weight loss, optimal health, motivation to exercise etc…. Combining these 2 modalities can yield excellent results, for the long term as our emotions are stored in the unconscious mind.

What should you eat if your dealing with Anxiety?

Whenever stress levels rise, some people typically reach for a bag of chips or pint of ice cream, a habit known as “stress eating” or “emotional eating.” But although you may temporarily feel good after eating “comfort food,” you might end up regretting this in the long term. Emotional eating & overeating can result in inability to address the situation responsible for triggering unhealthy heating habits, resulting in devastating stress and weight gain.

These Stress-Busting Foods Are All You Need

The next time you’re down in the dumps, feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious… opt for these potentially stress-busting foods to allow you to combat these feelings:

•Green leafy vegetables — According to Heather Mangieri, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, green leafy vegetables contain folate that produces “dopamine, a pleasure-inducing brain chemical [or neurotransmitter], helping you keep calm.” Your best bets for green leafy vegetables include spinach, kale and Swiss chard.

• Fermented foods such as kimchi, kefir and natto — Beneficial bacteria, or probiotics, are abundant in fermented foods, and may positively impact your mood and brain health, given that they are able to move mood- and behavior-regulating signals to the brain via the vagus nerve.

One example of a beneficial probiotic is the Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain. It improved GABA levels in certain brain regions, and helped decrease corticosterone (a stress-inducing hormone) levels and alleviated anxiety- and depression-related behavior.

•Animal-based omega 3 fats — Ideally acquired from fish like wild-caught Alaskan salmon, sardines or anchovies, or high-quality krill oil supplements, omega-3 fats can do wonders for your mood.

Research has proven that omega-3 fats were effective in inhibiting initial symptoms of depression without the side effects. Another study recorded a 20 percent decrease in anxiety among medical students who took omega-3s.

•Blueberries— Pigments called anthocyanins are responsible for the deep colors of blueberries, and help with the brain’s production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that may boost your mood, memory and function.

•Bananas— These yellow fruits are home to dopamine, which may assist with promoting a better mood. Other vital mood-boosting nutrients present in bananas include B vitamins and magnesium. The former may help calm down the nervous system.

•Kiwis — These vitamin C-rich fruits may not just assist with combating infections, but aid in alleviating stress too. Studies have shown that consistent vitamin C intake helped lower both levels of stress hormones in the blood and typical indicators of physical and emotional stress.

•Dark Chocolate — Anandamide, a neurotransmitter found in dark chocolate, is said to be beneficial in momentarily inhibiting negative feelings of pain and depression. However, eat chocolate in moderation, since some varieties contain high amounts of sugar that can be devastating for your health.

•Tumeric — This spice has been renowned globally, and most of its health benefits may be traced to the pigment curcumin. It’s responsible for the spice’s bright yellow-orange hue and health benefits, such as neuroprotective properties that may defend your brain and improve your mood.

Does the Combination of Caffeine and Anxiety Work?

Caffeine-containing beverages like sports drinks should not be considered for anxiety disorder patients because it may worsen their condition. However, a cup of organic, shade-grown black coffee without added creamers, sugars or sweeteners may be an exception to this rule.

A cup of joe can positively affect brain health by enhancing production of neurotransmitters that may assist with mood control, and promoting release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) that allows brain stem cells to develop new neurons.

The key to making coffee work for you, despite the caffeine in it, is to consume it in moderation and know the amount of coffee your body can tolerate in a given day, since different studies have suggested varying amounts of black coffee for a specific benefit.

Let Go of Mood-Wrecking Foods

Steer clear of these three types of foods if you have been diagnosed with anxiety or are feeling anxious, since they can exacerbate symptoms:  SUGAR, Gluten and all processed foods!

Other Ways to help Anxiety

Take a few deep breaths, close your eyes… relax the muscles around the eyes and take that relaxation all the way down your body… now, Imagine you have a balloon, a helium balloon and all your anxieties, worries are inside that balloon… close your eyes, take some deep breaths, see the anxieties, worries lifting high in the air, up up and away with the helium balloons, watch them disappear completely… (form of self hypnosis)


 


Exercise can also help alleviate and reduce anxiety… whatever you feel like doing. walking, yoga, dancing, swimming, a class. just go for it!


 


Relax in a warm bath, use some essential oils, send yourself love and acceptance and breath deeply to calm the nervous system down…

Get to the root of it all, some NLP Coaching can help find root causes… and using techniques such as hypnosis, emotion code energy healing and time line therapy can help alleviate a lot of the anxiety!

Why Victims of Sexual Abuse Are More Likely to be Overweight…

Christine was a preteen when she went on her first diet. At school, she was bubbly and outgoing, an honors student immersed in social causes. But at home, she would carefully ration her food.

By the time she was 14, she had developed bulimia. It was easier to hide the purging from her family than it was to explain why she wasn’t eating. In her darkest moments, she would scribble her anxieties into a blue-lined journal.

“When I eat food now I feel guilty,” she wrote in rounded, 14-year-old script. “I don’t like to eat in front of other people.”

As a college student, she stopped throwing up but kept overeating. Carbs were her crutch. “If I’m stressed, let me crawl inside a bag of Tostitos,” said White, who goes by her nickname, Cissy. She would shovel handfuls of cereal in her mouth, or boil and eat enormous amounts of pasta.

She didn’t fully understand what drove her binges, but she had one idea—an experience she referred to as “my hell” and “my secret” in later journals.  Her stepfather abused her sexually and to her she stated  “I knew that I didn’t like what was happening,” she said, “but I didn’t know what was appropriate.”

Researchers are increasingly finding that, in addition to leaving deep emotional scars, childhood sexual abuse often turns food into an obsession for its victims. Many, like Christine become prone to binge-eating. Others willfully put on weight to desexualize, in the hope that what happened to them as children will never happen again.

In her case, overeating did not lead to obesity—her weight only ever ranged from roughly 118 pounds to 175. But research shows that in general, childhood sexual abuse might be a key predictor of obesity and overweight in adulthood. More importantly, experts say, this disturbing connection suggests it’s fruitless to treat eating-disordered patients without investigating and addressing potential childhood trauma first.

One analysis of 57,000 women found that those who experienced physical or sexual abuse as children were twice as likely to be addicted to food.  Experts say sexual abuse is one of the worst adverse experiences, and also one of the most likely to compound other life stressors.

Trauma that occurs during critical periods in the brain’s development can change its neurobiology, making it less responsive to rewards. This anhedonia—a deficit of positive emotions—more than doubles the likelihood that abused children will become clinically depressed adults. It also increases their risk of addiction. With their brains unable to produce a natural high, many adult victims of child abuse chase happiness in food. It’s this tendency, when combined with what many described as a desire to become less noticeable, that makes this group especially vulnerable to obesity.

We can learn to re program the mind and release the negative trapped emotions associated with trauma and abuse.  The emotion Code Energy Healing Process is one way that is helping women reclaim the health and their lives.  To learn more about this process, please visit http://lynnthier.com/emotion-code/

Ways to Let Go of Past Hurts…

We’ve all been hurt. You can’t be an adult — or teen — or a young kid alive today who hasn’t experienced some kind of emotional pain.  This is life… with its ups and downs, like a roller coaster to some or many.

But what you do with that hurt is probably more important than the hurt itself. Would you prefer to get back to life Or do you prefer to ruminate endlessly about the past and something that cannot be changed?  Unfortunately, we cannot change anything that has already happened.  The question becomes… what now?  how do we move past it, let it go so we can move forward?

Well, i could tell you about some techniques that really helped me, that i sought out professionals who did alternative modes of healing… then was so impressed by the results, decided to embark on 5 years of training… (NLP, Hypnosis, Time Line Therapy, Emotion Code Energy Healing) And, i can also tell you about some things you can do, totally on your own, for yourself too.

Blaming others for our hurt is what most of us start off doing. Somebody did something wrong, or they wronged us in some way that mattered to us. We want them to apologize. We want them to acknowledge what they did was wrong.  It could be something minor ( a snap reaction, a hurtful word) Or something traumatic (Abuse, mental, emotional, physical, sexual).

But blaming someone else for our hurt can backfire.  All your feelings are legitimate. It’s important to feel them fully, and then move on. Nursing your grievances indefinitely is a bad habit, because (as the title goes) it hurts you more than it hurts them.

People who hold on to these past hurts often relive the pain over and over in their minds. Sometimes a person can even get “stuck” in this pain…

Ways to Let Go of Past Hurts

The only way you can accept new joy and happiness into your life is to make space for it. If your heart is filled full-up with pain and hurt, how can you be open to anything new?

1. Make the decision to let it go.

Things don’t disappear on their own. You need to make the commitment to “let it go.” If you don’t make this conscious choice up-front, you could end up self-sabotaging any effort to move on from this past hurt.

Making the conscious decision to let it go also means accepting you have a choice to let it go. To stop reliving the past pain, to stop going over the details of the story in your head every time you think of the other person (after you finish step 2 below). This is empowering to most people, knowing that it is their choice to either hold on to the pain, or to live a future life without it.

2. Express your pain — and your responsibility.

Express the pain the hurt made you feel, whether it’s directly to the other person, or through just getting it out of your system (like venting to a friend, or writing in a journal, or writing a letter you never send to the other person). Get it all out of your system at once. Doing so will also help you understand what — specifically — your hurt is about.  Once you’ve written it down, you can also burn it or shred it, watch it dissapear sending a message to your unconscious mind that, hey, its gone, i’m choosing to let it go!

We don’t live in a world of black and whites, even when sometimes it feels like we do. While you may not have had the same amount of responsibility for the hurt you experienced, there may have been a small part of the hurt that you are also partially responsible for. What could you have done differently next time? Are you an active participant in your own life, or simply a hopeless victim? Will you let your pain become your identity?

3. Stop being the victim and blaming others.

Being the victim feels good — it’s like being on the winning team of you against the world. But guess what? The world largely doesn’t care, so you need to get over yourself. Yes, you’re special. Yes, your feelings matter. But don’t confuse with “your feelings matter” to “your feelings should override all else, and nothing else matters.” Your feelings are just one part of this large thing we call life, which is all interwoven and complex. And yes, even messy.

In every moment, you have that choice — to continue to feel bad about another person’s actions, or to start feeling good. You need to take responsibility for your own happiness, and not put such power into the hands of another person. Why would you let the person who hurt you — in the past — have such power, right here, right now, over you?  Take charge, you can do it.

4. Focus on the present — the here and now — and joy.

Now it’s time to let go. Let go of the past, and stop reliving it. Stop telling yourself that story where the protagonist — you — is forever the victim of this other person’s horrible actions. You can’t undo the past, all you can do is to make today the best day of your life.

When you focus on the here and now, you have less time to think about the past. When the past memories creep into your consciousness (as they are bound to do from time to time), acknowledge them for a moment. And then bring yourself gently back into the present moment. Some people find it easier to do this with a conscious cue, such as saying to yourself, “It’s alright. That was the past, and now I’m focused on my own happiness and doing _______________.”

Remember, if we crowd our brains — and lives — with hurt feelings, there’s little room for anything positive. It’s a choice you’re making to continue to feel the hurt, rather than welcoming joy back into your life.

5. Forgive them — and yourself.

We may not have to forget another person’s bad behaviors, but virtually everybody deserves our forgiveness. Sometimes we get stuck in our pain and our stubbornness, we can’t even imagine forgiveness. But forgiveness isn’t saying, “I agree with what you did.” Instead, it’s saying, “I don’t agree with what you did, your behavior is unacceptable, and I forgive you”

Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness. Instead, it’s simply saying, “I’m a good person. You’re a good person. You did something that hurt me. and I want to move forward in my life and welcome joy back into it. I can’t do that fully until I let this go.”  An NLP presupposition comes to mind = People are not their behaviors, accept the person, change the behavior.!

Forgiveness is a way of tangibly letting something go. It’s also a way of empathizing with the other person, and trying to see things from their point of view.

And forgiving yourself may be an important part of this step as well, as sometimes we may end up blaming ourselves for the situation or hurt. While we indeed may have had some part to play in the hurt (see step 2), there’s no reason you need to keep beating yourself up over it. If you can’t forgive yourself, how will you be able to live in future peace and happiness?

* * *

I know this stuff is hard and that it’s incredibly hard to let go of one’s pain — I’ve struggled with this myself. If we’ve held onto it for a long time, it feels like an old friend. Justified.

But nobody’s life should be defined by their pain. It’s not healthy, it adds to our stress, it hurts our ability to focus, study and work, and it impacts every other relationship we have (even the ones not directly affected by the hurt). Every day you choose to hold on to the pain is another day everybody around you has to live with that decision. And feel its consequences.

So do everybody — and yourself — a big favor: Let go of the pain. Do something different today and welcome happiness back into your life.

Warning Signs That You Need Emotional Heart Healing

When physical signs of a heart issue are observed, it’s clear that something is wrong and it’s important to seek medical attention immediately. However, we often ignore the emotional signs of a heart in danger. The heart is a major organ and inherently important to the body. It not only pumps the blood that carries good, clean oxygen, but it also circulates our energetic vibrations and sends and receives energy, both good and bad.

Negative vibrations surrounding the heart can cause overall damage to the body if they are allowed to fester and become toxic. Heart healing can help to identify the issues and clear them from your body. Read on for both physical and emotional warning signs, and tips on how to heal your heart.

Warning Signs That You Need Emotional Heart Healing

They call it “heartache” for a reason: Whatever is causing you grief can manifest as physical pain. Some signals are easily recognized, while others stealthily rob us of joy. When you are no longer feeling like yourself, look for these warning signs that your heartache needs healing:

Depression
Anxiety
Continuous grief
Apathy
Lost creativity
Disconnection

It may be difficult to identify the negative emotions affecting your heart. If you know you are feeling blue but are having trouble identifying the cause, take some time for reflection and consider whether you are feeling any of the following:

Abandonment
Betrayal
Forlorn
Loss
Unrequited love
Un-reciprocated effort
Insecurity
Vulnerability

You can use The Emotion Code to determine if a heart wall has been put in place and what has caused its construction. Once you have determined the cause for this heart wall, you can begin your heart healing.

Warning Signs That You Need Physical Heart Healing

Sometimes when we are experiencing intense emotional trauma, it can manifest itself in physical symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pains, even though there is nothing physically wrong with your heart. With that said, the following physical warning signs need to be taken seriously, as they can be an indication of a heart attack:

Chest pains
Chest pressure or tightness
Shortness of breath
Discomfort or pain in the neck, shoulder, back, jaw, or stomach
Heart palpitations
Nausea and vomiting
Abnormal sweating

You should contact emergency medical personnel immediately if you are experiencing these physical symptoms.

Emotional Heart Healing vs. Physical Heart Healing: How to Tell the Difference

The worrisome thing is that sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference between warning signs of emotional heartache and physical heartache. An unexpected shock like a break-up or a death or a betrayal of friendship, for example, can manifest as any or all of the physical signs of a heart attack.

If you feel that your heart is under stress, take a few seconds to calm yourself with deep breathing and relaxation. Emotional heartache can respond to these practices and help bring your physical reactions under control. If your symptoms are due to a physical issue, you will continue to suffer these physical signs and must seek medical help immediately.

I offer free monthly seminars on the 7 Keys to the Emotion Code Energy Healing… as well as do sessions for clients privately.  If you feel a need to release heartache, a heart wall, please do reach out.

Welcome April – Time For Some Spring Cleaning?

April 

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.  -Jan Glidewell

Spring Cleaning

People like “stuff”. We tend to hold onto it year after year. We save and stock up on things that we don’t know what to do with anymore. Maybe we keep things because they hold precious memories of days gone by, or they remind us of our parents, grandparents, past loves or childhood. To part with these precious possessions seems out of the question. There is a saying that goes, “You have to get rid of the old to make way for the new.”  If you are feeling stuck or stagnant in your life, try spring-cleaning. Throw out some of that stuff, say goodbye to your past and welcome the new energy of your happy, healthy future. Try these three ideas:

For good mental and physical health, we actually have two “houses” that need to be spring-cleaned: our physical homes and our physical bodies. Just as we accumulate “stuff” in the form of outgrown clothes, magazines, rusty bicycles, tools and random keepsakes, so do our bodies accumulate old food residues and toxins that need to be cleaned out.


To spring clean your body, give it a break from rich and complicated foods by either cleansing or fasting for a short period of time. Cleansing means paring down your food to just simple fruits and vegetables, lots of water and perhaps whole grains. Fasting means limiting foods and drinking lots of water, after 16 to 20 hours have fresh vegetable juices, teas and soups. Without much energy going toward digestion, more energy is available to the rest of your body and mind. Cleansing and fasting can sharpen your concentration, help you gain insight and promote spiritual awareness. It can also bring improved immune function and better digestion.


While you’re cleaning out your body and home, don’t forget to spring-clean your heart. Throw away negative thoughts and habits you’ve been harboring that no longer serve you. A clean, open heart will allow you to receive all the good that awaits you each and every day. If your heart and mind are cluttered, there is no room for life’s gifts and surprises to enter.

Do you want to do a 3 to 7 day Cleanse?  Maybe a 30 day Clean Eats Program?  Hit me up and i’ll send you my 30 day program for just 30.00!  

Food Focus: Greens

Leafy greens are some of the easiest and most beneficial vegetables to incorporate into your daily routine. Densely packed with energy and nutrients, they grow upward to the sky, absorbing the sun’s light while producing oxygen. Members of this royal green family include kale, collard greens, Swiss chard, mustard greens, arugula, dandelion greens, broccoli rabe, watercress, beet greens, bok choy, napa cabbage, green cabbage, spinach and broccoli.

How do greens benefit our bodies? They are very high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous and zinc, and are a powerhouse for vitamins A, C, E and K. They are crammed full of fiber, folic acid, chlorophyll and many other micronutrients and phytochemicals. Their color is associated with spring, which is a time to renew and refresh vital energy. In traditional Asian medicine, the color green is related to the liver, emotional stability and creativity. Greens aid in purifying the blood, strengthening the immune system, improving liver, gall bladder and kidney function, fighting depression, clearing congestion, improving circulation and keeping your skin clear and blemish free.

Leafy greens are the vegetables most missing from the American diet, and many of us never learned how to prepare them. Start with the very simple recipe below. Then each time you go to the market, pick up a new green to try. Soon you’ll find your favorite greens and wonder how you ever lived without them.

Recipe of the Month: Shiitake and Kale  Prep Time: 2 minutes  Cooking Time: 10 minutes  Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-2 cloves crushed garlic
1 bunch kale, chopped
pinch of salt

Directions:

Warm oil in pan on medium heat with minced garlic until aromas of garlic are released, about 2-3 minutes.
Add chopped shiitake mushrooms, stir-fry for 5 minutes.
Add chopped kale, stir-fry for a couple of minutes.

Become Conscious of Your Unconscious & Rewire Your Brain

I bet right now you’re not aware of the feeling of your feet touching the floor, or the feeling of your back against the chair, until i mentioned it just now…While we are fully aware of what is going on in the conscious mind, we have no idea of what information is stored in the unconscious mind. (Only everything we’ve ever seen, heard, felt, touched etc…).

CONSCIOUS MIND

The conscious mind has limited processing capabilities, compared to the unconscious mind. The conscious mind is dominated by the logic of natural language partitions represented in the narrative of a linguistic description.  George A Miller’s paper ‘The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two’ is often cited in NLP as a reference point for research into the limitations of our capacity for conscious awareness.  Miller suggests conscious processing is limited to just seven plus or minus two bits of information. We refer to the conscious mind as the representation of the immediate map you have conscious access to.

Your conscious mind is the part of your mind that you are using to read and process these words. As you look at this page you are saying the words in your mind, and as you derive meaning from the text, you establish how the meaning relates to you. Your conscious mind is linear, sequential, and logical and likes everything to make sense. People seek to logically understand everything (a real paradox), wants a label and explanation for his experience, finds it difficult to be in the moment or go with the flow, does not switch off from internal dialogue, and is often less aware of sensory experience.

UNCONSCIOUS MIND

The unconscious mind is everything else in the mind body system that is not conscious in that moment. Research shows the unconscious mind absorbs millions of bits of sensory information through the nervous system in any one second. Given the name ‘unconscious mind’ you will not be aware of a lot of the processes that the unconscious mind engages in. Some people are more aware than others of the functioning of the unconscious mind. These people have what’s called good communication with their unconscious.

On the physical side, at this moment your unconscious is regulating the functioning in your body, pumping blood from your heart, digesting your food, cleansing the lymph cells healing any cuts, counteracting any antibodies that come into the system and so on. You don’t consciously have to think about making your heart beat; your eyes blink or your lungs fill with oxygen. All this happens unconsciously.

The components of your past experiences and what you have learned in life physically and mentally are within your unconscious. If I was to ask you to think of your first day at school, your first kiss, a representation may come to conscious attention. These representations of past events are located in the unconscious mind. The past representation came from the unconscious and was then brought to conscious attention.

If you have a phobia, every time you experience that phobia you are physically and mentally matching current stimuli (VAKOG) with an unconscious reconstruction of a past representation. The unconscious mind is habitual and learns easily when stimulated. In the case of the phobic it’s usually one experience that creates the learned behaviour of a phobia. It’s amazing how the unconscious mind remembers to activate a fight or flight response every time the phobic comes into contact with the phobia stimuli. Introduce the phobia stimuli and no matter what the phobic is doing, his conscious attention will be jammed with the fight or flight response.  Even though intellectually the phobic understands the spider/mouse cannot hurt him, he cannot override the unconscious response with conscious will. The logic of the conscious mind does not work when dealing with problems.

The unconscious mind has within it enormous potential for change and is able to learn positive new responses easily as well. It’s a question of stimulating the unconscious mind through effective communication with it to create change.

With every experience, your unconscious mind soaks in information like a sponge.  It rejected nothing while you were young because you didn’t have any pre-existing beliefs to contradict what it perceived. It simply accepted that all of the information you received during your early childhood was true.

You can probably see why this becomes a problem later in life. Every time someone called you stupid, worthless, lazy, or worse, your unconscious mind just stored the information away for reference.  By the time you were 7 or 8 years old, you already had a solid foundation of belief based on all that programming from people in your life, television shows you watched, and other environmental influences.

Now that you’re an adult, you may think that you can simply discard the hurtful or untrue messages you absorbed during your early life, but it’s not quite that simple.  Remember that all of this information is stored below your level of conscious awareness. The only time you become aware of it is when it limits your progress in creating a balanced, successful and productive life.

Have you ever tried to achieve a goal and kept sabotaging yourself at every turn?  What’s happening here…. is you’ve got some old programmed messages that conflict with the new conditions you want to create.  AND…the programming still continues to this day.  With every experience you have, you draw certain conclusions and store the messages that will guide your future actions.

How To Reprogram Your unconscious Mind

If your daily environment is filled with negativity and strife, imagine what kinds of messages are being absorbed into your mind.  Your first action is to strictly limit the negativity you’re exposed to from this moment on.  Avoid watching the news unless you absolutely must, and avoid spending too much time with ‘toxic’ people.  Instead, seek out positive information to read and watch, and spend most of your time with positive, upbeat people.

Your unconscious mind responds well to pictures.  Visualization is a great way to program your mind with positive, empowering images. Try spending 10–15 minutes a day visualizing positive scenes that feature you and your life experiences.

Here are some things you may want to visualize:

Fulfilling relationships
Passionate work
A beautiful home
Fun vacations
You at your ideal Health, weight, shape and size
Anything else you wish to draw into your life

As you do this consistently, you end up redrawing the negative pictures stored from your past experiences, fears, worries, and doubts.  To boost the power of visualization even further, be sure to emit strong, positive emotions while you picture these wonderful things in your mind.

Your unconscious mind will absorb the messages as if they’re real!  This is the true beauty of visualization — the power to bypass limiting messages and focus on pleasing images, all of which are being absorbed right into your unconscious to be replayed later.

Affirmations are another effective way to install positive messages into your unconscious.

They work best if you follow a few simple rules:

Word them positively, and they have to be believable to your unconscious mind. Say “I am in the process of attracting and allowing my most confident and successful”self rather than “I am confident and successful” because if the unconscious mind doesn’t Believe it to be true right now, being in the process – it can believe this.
Call up the corresponding feelings. Saying “I am wealthy” while feeling poor only sends conflicting messages to your unconscious. Whatever words you’re saying at the time, strive to feel the corresponding emotions because your unconscious will be more apt to believe it.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. Affirmations don’t work if you say them just once or twice. Recite them many times throughout the day for the best results.

Brain Entrainment Binaural Beats

Another popular method is the use of audio recordings that deliberately alter the frequency of your brainwaves.

It may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but reports from people who’ve tried these audio programs are overwhelmingly positive.  Your brainwaves fall into a specific frequency depending on what you’re doing at any given time:

Gamma when you’re engaged in certain motor functions
Beta when you’re fully conscious and actively concentrating
Alpha when you’re relaxed
Theta when you’re drowsy or lightly sleeping
Delta when you’re in deep sleep

“Binaural beats” result when two tones are played at differing frequencies, triggering your brainwaves to follow a different pattern.  For example, if you wanted to shift from stressed to relaxed you would listen to an audio that triggers the alpha state.

Research has shown that your unconscious mind is more receptive to new information when you’re very relaxed, such as in the alpha or theta states.(states in hypnosis)

Hypnosis can be effective in much the same way as brain entrainment programs, except without the use of brainwave-altering frequencies.  Instead, the hypnotist gradually talks you into a more relaxed and receptive state and delivers empowering, positive messages to your unconscious mind.

In short,  you’ll know when changes are taking place in your unconscious mind because you’ll notice a shift in both your inner and outer being.

Top Traits Happy People Have in Common

The pursuit of happiness is more a choice than something that occurs by happenstance, but there are verifiable traits that those who achieve happiness tend to share.

In 2010, in a study titled “Eavesdropping on Happiness,” researchers equipped nearly 80 college students with an Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR), which randomly recorded snippets of ambient sounds taken while the participants went about their daily lives.

Every 12.5 minutes, the EAR recorded 30 seconds of sound, which allowed the researchers to figure out if the participant was alone or talking with others, and, in the latter case, whether the talk was small talk or more substantive, deeper conversation.

The study revealed intriguing insights into how conversations and small talk weigh in on happiness. What’s more, in 2018, researchers followed up on the study, recording new snippets and learning even more about the intricacies of what makes people happy.

More Meaningful Conversations Make People Happier Than Small Talk

Do happiness and well-being relate to the amount of small talk and meaningful conversations in your life? The 2010 study found a strong link, with less small talk and more substantive conversations linked to increased happiness.

Positive Humor Helps Maintain Happiness

Along with regular, deep talks with friends and family, previous research has identified the four following personality traits as being associated with happiness:

Extraversion
Locus of control
Self-esteem
Optimism

Researchers writing in Europe’s Journal of Psychology took the findings a step further, revealing that people with these four personality traits are happier because they use positive humor in their daily life.

“The happiness of ‘happy people’ does not depend on life circumstances. Rather, happy people seem to have personalities that allow them to find happiness even in the midst of adversity and challenging life conditions,” the study noted. And humor, it turns out, makes an effective adaptive strategy to maintain happiness.

Not just any type of humor was beneficial, however. Self-defeating and aggressive humor styles were linked to less happiness, while positive, self-enhancing and affiliative humor did the opposite by helping people cope with difficult circumstances. What’s the difference in the styles of humor?11

Aggressive humor is used as a means of teasing, criticizing or manipulating others, and may be used as a way to demonstrate superiority over others
Self-defeating humor may be used to avoid confronting problems or dealing with negative feelings, and may make fun of your own weaknesses
Self-enhancing humor is used to maintain positive psychological well-being by means of distancing yourself from adversity
Affiliative humor is used to entertain others, which helps enrich the quality of social relationships

A positive sense of humor, encompassing both self-enhancing and affiliative styles, is indeed another common thread among people who call themselves “happy.” The researchers explained.

Kindness, Generosity and Gratitude: Additional Indicators of Happiness

There’s a close relationship between being kind and being happy. Happiness levels increase when people count their own acts of kindness for a week.

Further, kind people experience more happiness and have happier memories, with one study suggesting “happy people are more kind in the first place and … they can become even happier, kinder and more grateful following a simple intervention [counting their acts of kindness].”

Giving to others is also linked to happiness, and generosity is certainly one form of kindness. People who agreed to spend money on others made more generous choices as well as had stronger increases in self-reported happiness compared to those who agreed to spend money on themselves.

Sleep May Be an Overlooked Part of Being Happy

Most research into happiness has focused on its social ties, but research has also found that people who sleep well are more satisfied with life, even after controlling for other factors like personality.

While sleep has long been linked to mood, researchers also suggested that people who sleep poorly are more likely to have a zero-sum view of happiness, which causes people to engage in more social comparisons and savor their positive experiences less, ultimately leading to less happiness.

“As many societies become more competitive and market-oriented, sleep is easily regarded as a waste of time (and money). However, sacrificed sleep may create a vicious cycle of making the world appear as a zero-sum competition, which aggravates interpersonal stress,” researchers wrote in Frontiers in Psychology.

Even the Happiest People Have Negative Moods Occasionally

Yet another study looking into the shared traits of very happy people found those at the highest level of happiness were highly social and had stronger romantic and social relationships than less happy people.

Try This To Be Happier

If you want to be happier, research suggests putting effort into your social relationships, particularly nurturing those that provide deep, meaningful conversations, will pay off. Likewise, be kind and keep a running tally of your acts of kindness, no matter how big or small.

Be sure to get quality shut-eye each night, and practice living in the present moment, not focused on past regrets or future worries. Ultimately, however, the social component of happiness cannot be ignored. If you’re feeling lonely or socially isolated, the following strategies can help you to make meaningful connections with others in your community, which will ultimately increase your level of happiness:

Join a club that interests you
Volunteer for a cause you believe in


Enroll in a class to learn a new skill or hobby
Create rituals of connection, such as calling a certain friend every Monday


Join a gym or sign up for a fitness class so you can exercise with others
Frequent local shops and markets, where you can build relationships with shop owners and other regular customers


Talk to strangers during your daily commute, at the grocery store and while walking your dog
Consider adopting a pet, such as a dog, which can provide companionship and a source of unconditional love, as well as act as an icebreaker socially


Move to be closer to your friends and family
Attend religious services or support groups
