NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)
Neuro Linguistic Programming could be described as the art and science of using your mind to achieve your desired outcomes.
We are all capable of achieving success, so what do successful people have that those who don’t achieve do not? Some people put this down to what they might call talent, or luck, however a fundamental principle of NLP is that we can all achieve similar results by modelling their thought strategies and physiology. NLP techniques offer a range of different techniques and tools that can help you model successful people and achieve excellent results more quickly.
Neuro Linguistic Programming was developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder who modelled some of the most successful communicators. The main people were Milton Erikson, Virginia Satir and Fritz Perls, who were all master communicators in the area of personal transformation. What they discovered from their research into these inspiring people led to the beginnings of NLP.
In NLP - Neuro is to do with the neurology and how information we take in through our senses and how this is processed internally. Linguistic is to do with language and how we communicate experiences to ourselves and others. Programming is to do with the internal strategies we run to achieve specific results.
NLP is about mastering your brain and behaviour to achieve the outcomes that you want in life. For example, one well known strategy is the NLP spelling strategy. Some people believe that they just cannot spell, however when they learn the spelling strategy that old belief totally disappears. The spelling strategy was developed by modelling the internal thought processes and behaviour of excellent spellers. The spelling strategy is easy to learn.
NLP also offers principles and techniques that can help you take control of your emotional state. I am sure you know people who some days are happy and other days are in less than resourceful states and don't appear to have any control over this. Or perhaps you have had occasions, perhaps an exam when you find yourself dreading the exam to such an extent that you become so wrapped up in your own anxiety when you get there that you look at the exam sheet and your mind goes blank and all that you know you have learnt is not easy to recall leaving you with a less than satisfactory exam paper. NLP offers a range of different techniques to give you back control over your emotions and internal thought processes so that you can achieve the results you want and deserve and are no longer held back by un resourceful states you had previously thought were inevitable.
By using Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques you can utilise your mind to achieve excellent results in every area of your life. NLP incorporates numerous ways of creating a new mindset in tune with your values, beliefs & desired outcomes.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
EFT is one of the new Power Therapies, also known as ‘Energy Psychology’ which are developed from the ancient Chinese meridian energy system - it is a form of emotional acupuncture without the needles, and is based on the premise that all negative emotions are the result of a disruption in the body’s energy system.
EFT works by clearing the blockage or disruption by tapping on the end points of the body’s energy meridians (while thinking of a specific issue) which sends pulses of energy to rebalance the body’s energy system in relation to that thought/specific issue. By shifting energy it changes the way the brain processes information about a particular issue, therefore tapping while focused on the issue is like rewiring or rerouting the brain's conditioned negative response which allows a new positive empowering way of thinking to prevail. You can imagine how beneficial this is if for you or someone you know who has lived with a limiting phobia, or is effected by traumatic memories. EFT also works in the same way to release the limiting thoughts and beliefs that get in the way of your success, happiness, health and inner peace. EFT is easy to learn and every client is encouraged to use it between sessions as a way of investing in their own progress.
NLP & EFT work with the body, mind and spirit towards resolution of emotional and physical issues and can be very beneficial for a whole range of issues including: phobias, addictions, stress, grief, anxiety, pain and physical symptoms.
EmoTrance
EmoTrance is a set of simple yet profound tools and techniques pioneered by Dr Silvia Hartmann, PhD and Nicola Quinn for working with the human energetic emotional systems.
EmoTrance requires the client to detect where the emotional disturbance lives in the body. By working with the natural kinaesthetic feedback mechanisms of the human body, the treatment is adapted to the individual client who is not required to know or relay what caused the emotional disturbance in the first place.
EmoTrance has been skilfully deveoped to be simple, effective, natural, gentle and respectful to the client, their history and beliefs.
Is EmoTrance a therapy?
Yes! But that would be doing EmoTrance a great injustice. Therapies are designed to get you back to square one whilst EmoTrance is designed to make you fly! An EmoTrance practitioner is always looking for the “Energised End State” as an outcome.
Is EmoTrance a Science?
Yes! But only if you can accept that all living creatures have an energetic/emotional system. Once you make that leap then EmoTrance is completely logical and just makes sense. Like all great discoveries, EmoTrance is simple, natural and you might find you have always been aware of these processes subconsciously.
Is EmoTrance a Healing Technique?
Yes! Doctors of this millennium can work what people just a hundred years ago would consider to be miracles. Yet are we just machines that need to be fixed, or is there something more to us beyond the flesh and bones we can see with our eyes? EmoTrance is about healing everything beyond these dimensions, from your biggest demons to your hopes, dreams and fears.
Is EmoTrance a Peak Performance Tool?
Yes! Merely understanding how emotions, body, metaphors and your energetic systems logically interact with each other will give you the edge over your competitors! EmoTrance enabled Peak Performance coaches know how people work on way more of a deeper level and thus are more able to help them achieve there goals.
Reiki
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us.
Natural Healing
Reiki is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926). Fired by a burning question, Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed.
A Reiki Treatment
The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is a very simple process. The recipient simply lies on a couch and relaxes. If they are unable to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position, the main thing is for the recipient to be as comfortable as possible. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through anything, even plaster casts. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. A full treatment usually takes 1 to 1½ hours with each position held for several minutes.
Which conditions can Reiki help?
It is possible to heal at any level of being: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Acute injuries can be helped to heal very quickly but more chronic illness takes longer. In some cases such as terminal illness, there is not enough time for the progress of the disease to be reversed. However, in such cases there is usually great benefit and enhancement of the quality of life giving a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining.
Reiki healing can be given anywhere at any time as no special equipment is needed. The practitioner is a channel which the energy is drawn through by the need or imbalance in the recipient. Neither person has to use any effort of will or concentration during this process.
As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki restores balance in one's life.
Reiki supports all forms of treatment both orthodox and complementary.
