A Poem For You and the World

It’s there...

in the cloudy eyes

of a 12-year-old child

who already believes

deep into his bones

that he’s not good enough

for this world...

as every spark of promise

drains out of his tissues

and he begins to live a

dissociated life.

The Wonder that he is

existing as a hologram

in the long, long shadow

of his self-doubt.

There for his taking,

yet so far out of his reach.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH!

It’s there...

taped to a wall

in the cubicles of our lives

forgotten

behind the post-its of all

the frivolous things

we worry about,

suffocated

under the rubber suit

of our critical minds.

It’s there...

in the unease

that wrinkles

the folds of our comforts

and spoils the taste

of the tried and true.

It’s there...

dancing in the air

that brushes our skin

in that space we view as

nothing,

trained, as we are,

to only see what we can trust

even if it shrivels our heart

down to a tiny mound of

rust.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH!

It’s there...

in the bouncy bubbles

of our wild ideas

burst

by the gravity of our fears.

It’s there...

in the nonsense of a people

who yearn to tame the stars

yet argue

all day long

about the labels to use

to keep themselves

small.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH!

It’s there...

in the stickiness of our tears,

in the filing cabinets of our dreams,

in the rabbit holes of distractions

where we go to lose ourselves.

It’s there...

when we feel we don’t belong,

when we do all we can

to disappear

into the crowd,

when we tell ourselves

that all we do is wrong.

Why won’t you see me?

Why can’t you hear?

The boundless potential

we ALL

carry within

holds us close with loving arms.

It never, ever leaves our side.

But a caged animal it is

and one that has been starved .

It’s simmering, it’s boiling

and now it’s rising up,

spilling out

through any way it finds;

as the shards

we spew at each other,

the blood that stains

our streets,

the faults that tear

the Earth apart.

Roaring for our attention,

destructive as it may seem,

so maybe

maybe

we can finally listen

to its sonar ping

syncing us back

to the wonders we all can be.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH.

Don’t you see what force it has?

Don’t you feel how much it wants you ?

Believe, please believe.

You are so much more than

you were made to think.

You are the sap that feeds the forests.

You are the particles of steel.

You are the echo in the flatlands.

You are the rainbow across clear skies.

You are the tree that grows on rocks

and the wispy Northern lights.

You are everything at once.

You are ALL that’s yet to exist.

And it’s all there waiting for you

in the heat map of your body

in the helixes of your genes

if you will just believe

what you cannot see.

So STOP.

JUST STOP.

It’s time for you to be

the cosmic Wonder

you came here to be.

Hypnotherapy FAQs

There are lots of misconceptions about hypnotherapy. I don't want them to keep you from trying it our and receiving the incredible benefits of it. So, let's dispel some myths and talk about what to expect.

Regression Hypnotherapy: What It Is and How It Works

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 19:54:31 GMT

In regression hypnotherapy, you “travel” back in time to past memories and experiences that can help you overcome present challenges.

There are two types of memories we can access in hypnotherapy:

Events that are at the root of our limiting beliefs and caused us to get stuck in self-defeating patterns.
Memories that help us tap into resources or inner strengths we possess but have disconnected from, which can assist us in the present.

Events At the Root of the Problem

These can be pivotal events we remember or seemingly insignificant events that we might have forgotten. Either way, they left an imprint that keeps affecting our lives , whether we are aware of it or not.

Emotional, psychological, and even physical issues can – in many cases - be traced back to past experiences, big or small as they may have been.

The symptoms of these imprints can be ever-present in our daily life or they can stay dormant for years and resurface when something else happens that triggers a subconscious remembering of the original event.

Again, this often takes place without us being consciously aware of these connections, which makes it difficult to resolve our issues - no matter how much we try or want to do it.

WHY THIS REGRESSION WORKS

In hypnotherapy, we allow the subconscious (and the superconscious, which is our Soul self) to take us back to the relevant memories. We then use several therapeutic techniques to release the trauma, beliefs, and negative emotional energies associated with them.

We get to see the experience through a higher – often spiritual - perspective , which is profoundly cathartic and healing.

I practice client-centered therapy , where you as the client choose how to proceed every step of the way and we only go as far as you are ready to go. This creates a very safe space for my clients to re-experience these key events and have meaningful breakthroughs.

It’s also important to understand that it is really your Soul (or Higher Self) that is guiding the session and your Soul always knows what’s best for you . I never tire to see the wisdom of the Soul at work!

Memories To Regain Inner Strengths

Contrary to popular belief, regression hypnotherapy doesn’t always mean revisiting unpleasant or traumatic past events. In fact, sometimes all we need is to access happy memories that can reconnect us to parts of ourselves we have lost along the way.

These can be inner resources, strengths, or positive perspectives we once held. They can be feelings we had forgotten we are capable of having. The richness and intensity of these feelings, as experienced in hypnosis, can be life changing.

For example, I had a client who was sensing her mind, body, and heart were not cooperating with each other. It caused her to feel drained all the time. At some point in the session, I asked her Soul if it was important to go back to when this problem originated, so we could heal it.

The Soul replied it would be more useful for my client to experience a time when she felt whole with mind, body, and heart working in unison. So, I regressed her there (trusting her Soul would know exactly where to take us) and, boy, what a joyful ride it was! Knowing that she has that ability within herself was essential for my client.

Types of Regression Hypnotherapy, Explained

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 20:23:06 GMT

There are 3 types of regressions that can happen in hypnotherapy.

Regression To Past Events In This Lifetime

This means going back to any experience in this life that is related to your present issues and needs healing.

Events big and small can subconsciously trigger emotional, psychological, behavioral patterns (and even physical ailments) that stay with us long after the event is over. We may think we have moved on from it while it’s still affecting us in ways we don’t even realize.

I practice client-centered therapy , which means we only revisit memories you are ready and open to resolve. Plus, sometimes all you may need to create a meaningful shift is to reconnect with happy memories ; the bright spots you have forgotten about.

I am an example of this. I don’t have any fond memories of my school years, as I never felt I fit in. It’s something I carried with me into adulthood, believing I don’t belong in many social contexts. Yet in one session, to my surprise, I regressed to a memory of playing with classmates during recess in middle school.

I was there, engaged, happy, and very much “part of the group.” I realized I had created a narrative for myself that wasn’t entirely true. It had caused me to draw a negative blanket over an entire period of my life which had then affected how I looked at all social situations!

Womb Regression

This means going back to your time as a fetus in the mother’s womb, after conception and before birth.

Is it really possible? Yes! And this type of regression is often a great source of important revelations.

We can understand how family dynamics impacted us before we were even born. We can heal the relationship with our mothers (if needed). We can sense how our Soul felt about being born in a certain context, or why it chose our particular body. We can gain insights on our life’s purpose and the challenges and lessons we came here to face.

Womb regressions can be most surprising and deeply spiritual. There are many ways we can dialogue with our Soul in hypnotherapy , and the womb is one of the places that can facilitate that.

Past Lives Regression

This implies going back to memories of lives you lived in other times and places.

Here’s a post where I discuss whether this means reincarnation is real.

For now, let's look at how past life regression works therapeutically .

Hypnotherapists have long seen evidence that – contrary to previous beliefs - many issues and blocks we experience pre-date childhood and this lifetime altogether.

Current life’s events seem to just re-awaken imprints (fears, phobias, emotional scars, and physical ailments) developed farther back in time, essentially presenting a new “opportunity” to break the pattern and let go of past baggage that’s limiting the expression of our full potential.

To heal these issues, it’s often necessary to work both at the past life level and on the correlated event(s) in the current lifetime.

In a past life regression we are able to get a spiritual understanding of the past life and, if needed, reconcile with the people in that life who hurt us (or were hurt by us). We get to see the silver lining in those experiences and come to look at them in a whole new light.

The shift in perspective is quite uplifting and amazing to witness!

How To Choose Which Regression To Have

The initial talk we have will give us a sense of which direction to take and help us come up with a plan for the session. After that, though, the mantra is: your Soul knows best. So, let’s trust that it knows which experience to take you back to.

This, too, is part of client-centered therapy. It ensures you receive the healing you need the most right now .

Past Lives Regression: Is It Real or Not?

Sun, 15 Oct 2023 20:44:16 GMT

Does past lives regression mean reincarnation is real? What if you don’t believe it? Couldn’t it just be made-up stories?

Perhaps you are intrigued by regression hypnotherapy and would like to see if it can help resolve an issue or pattern that keeps affecting your life. Yet, you are asking yourself the above questions.

First of all, my purpose is not to convince you to believe in reincarnation . Nor does it matter.

There are scientists and researchers keen on proving (and disproving) reincarnation. There are many books on past lives recollections that have been proven accurate (even providing details the recalling subjects couldn’t possibly have known unless they had lived that life). There are also many instances of past lives memories that didn’t hold up well to scrutiny.

Past Lives Regression Insights Based On My Experiences

Before I came to this work, I was one of those people who occasionally say, “ in a past life, I must have been …” In reality, I didn’t know what I believed. However, I would often wonder about the origin of some of my crippling fears, which seemed to defy logic and I couldn’t trace back to any particular triggering event in my life.

When I had my first regression, I was surprised by how much I felt I was the person in the past life . I was back in that body, with her thoughts, beliefs, insecurities. Details of the life came to me effortlessly, not as if I was imagining them but as if I just knew them. Emotions were raw and real.

I see the same thing with my clients. Some plunge quickly into the memories, recalling details and even using expressions that don’t belong to our times. On occasion, I’ve had to play catch-up because the client was talking as if I knew what life was like in the historic period and place they were reliving!

Yet, other times the regressions may feel more like journeys at the edge between reality and metaphor.

All sessions have one thing in common, though: they are effective in helping people understand the issues they are encountering in the present life , in letting go of stuck emotions, and gaining a new perspective.

And that’s the intent of the session.

The Purpose of Past Lives Regression in Hypnotherapy

The purpose of regression hypnotherapy is NOT to dig for historical or biographical information that might help confirm the veracity of the past life. In most cases, those details won’t even come up because they are not essential to your healing goal. The details you will become aware of are the ones that are connected to – and influencing – what’s happening to you right now.

At the end of the day, what matters is: How can the regression help you in the present life? Did you gain new insights you couldn’t have gotten in any other way? Did it create useful shifts in thoughts, emotions, beliefs? Did it cause physical pain to decrease or disappear? (this can happen, too, in some cases).

If so, what difference does it make if the past life is real or not?

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to know but, in my opinion, regression for healing beats regression for curiosity , any time .

Also, in regressions done solely for research purposes, the client might revisit what can look like a hard life with no tools or support to comprehend its greater meaning. A skilled hypnotherapist, on the other hand, will facilitate the regression so that, if painful memories arise, you experience them only to the extent that’s needed (and you are comfortable with) to understand their significance and release them safely .

This leaves you with a positive cathartic experience and an opportunity to close the door on what’s been holding you back .
