Austrian doctor Franz Anton Mesmer, pioneer of mesmerism or hypnotherapy, was a stage hypnotist. Initially, he used hypnosis just to perform some peculiar antics. Gradually he understood the power of subconscious and opened several health clinics in France. His popularity and success generated jealousy and strong protest from the conventional healing community. Finally, he was investigated by French Royal Commission and declared a fake. Today, hypnotherapy has evolved and accepted as a complementary healing method. It is used in several alternative as well as conventional medical environments. Hypnotherapy is used in combination with acupuncture, massage, psychotherapy, and nursing. Hypnotherapy works on the power of subconscious. It produces results by tapping into subconscious mind and programming it for desired results. Health benefits can be achieved quickly by inducing the hypnotic trance. Hypnotic trance is a deep sate of relaxation, but it is a wakeful state of mind and heightened state of awareness. Various methods are used to induce trance like awareness. During such trance subconscious mind is more receptive to suggestions. Conscious mind and subconscious minds are connected and at this point suggestions are implanted into the subconscious. Hypnosis uses various methods to programme your subconscious. Some of them are affirmations, visualizations, guided imagery etc. Hypnotic state of mind can be induced only if the client is willing. Client's participation is a must. Beneficial results of hypnosis have been experienced in treating stress, anxiety, insomnia, tension and headaches. Hypnosis can be used with weight control programs, de-addiction programs and pain management. Hypnosis is effective for self development and personal development, also. Some strong points about hypnotherapy are: it is effective without any suffering or side effects. It is not invasive or addictive. It generates permanent, long term results and life changes.

Universal mind is everywhere, within you and without you. Through your subconscious mind you can draw upon its unlimited wisdom and power. If you can access your subconscious mind with full awareness, it can connect your conscious mind with the Universal mind. Communion with the Universal mind is a mind blowing experience! In my previous post, we explored the potential of subconscious mind. Subconscious mind itself is a huge reservoir of power and wisdom. If it is in harmony with the Universal mind and aligned with it, it can attain the goals beyond imagination. One important rule is that every desire has to be in harmony with the Universal mind. Once your desires are for the good of everybody concerned and are aligned with the Universal mind, you are given access to unlimited knowledge and wisdom.

Sir Isaac Newton acquired the knowledge of physics and mathematics with no conscious efforts. Mozart said that beautiful symphonies just came to him. Marie Curie discovered radioactive elements through spontaneous flash of light. There are a number of incidents of great inventions or miraculous survivals that confirms the power, which is beyond comprehension of our conscious mind. According to Dr. Jung our subconscious mind contains all the knowledge that it has gathered during the life of the individual. In addition it also contains all the wisdom of past ages. By drawing upon its wisdom and power the individual may possess any good thing of life including health, wealth, happiness and success. Subconscious mind has unlimited power. It regulates all involuntary vital processes like digestion, assimilation, elimination, circulation and all the gland secretions. It is responsible for building your body, repairing and operating it. If you can guide your subconscious mind, you can heal yourself. Subconscious mind can put you in health and keep you in perfect health. Not only that, it can also help you acquire all the good things in life. Subconscious mind has immense wisdom and power. It never sleeps or rests. One drawback of subconscious mind is that it cannot decide on its own. Conscious mind is required to command and direct your subconscious mind. It can acquire anything you ask. It can fulfill all the desires of your heart. The sole reason of all the disappointments and failures in this world is ignorance of the power of subconscious. If you could involve your subconscious mind in your day to day activities and personal affairs, no goal would be impossible to achieve. Another important aspect of subconscious mind is that it can connect your conscious mind to the Universal mind. You can draw immense wisdom and power from the Universal mind through your subconscious. With the help of this unlimited knowledge you can acquire unlimited riches and live a life of abundance. Very few people understand that the power of subconscious can be utilized at will. Some techniques to reach your subconscious and motivate it are NLP, hypnotherapy etc. These techniques teach you how to master communication with your subconscious; how to filter out negative thoughts and send only positive suggestions. Before evolution, mankind and animals had only subconscious mind. With development of brain, conscious mind also developed in human beings. Before that also life went on perfectly. As subconscious mind has superb qualities of deductive reasoning, intuition, telepathy and ability to connect with the Universal mind. Our subconscious mind is our soul mind. It can create heaven or hell as per your thoughts and desires. Preeti http://www.liveperson.com/gypcywoman/ |

Conscious mind is well connected with the five senses and human brain. It assimilates the information received by all the five senses and analyzes with the help of reasoning capabilities of our human brain. It reaches appropriate conclusion and acts accordingly. It is active on superficial level. It controls voluntary muscle activity. It can discern between right and wrong in day to day activities. It can desire and plan, but sometimes it is successful in carrying out plans. Sometimes it just drifts away in the realm of day dreaming or imagination. It can even be clouded with preconceived notions and prejudices. Conscious mind is affected the most by likings and dislikings. Though conscious mind is the smallest part of our mind, it is the most important part as only conscious mind can get in touch with subconscious or universal mind. Conscious mind is a doorway to connect with our subconscious and the Universal mind. It connects outer world with inner world. Conscious mind can direct subconscious in right direction. So it is important that conscious mind is not always worrying or stressed out. Conscious thoughts can initiate healing, harmony or even disease and conflict. This can be achieved when conscious mind gets in touch with the subconscious and passes the message. Subconscious by itself is a slave and it cannot initiate the process of manifesting. It has tremendous power when programmed by the conscious mind. Most of the people are happy using the 10% of total mind that is conscious mind. They are willing to exist on a mundane level of existence. They are not bothered to explore the unfathomable depths and possibilities of their subconscious.

'Survival of the Fittest' is an ageold Sutra to thrive and flourish in competitive world. Definition of the term 'fittest' keeps changing with times. During prehistoric times, physical strength was essential to survive. Gradually with development of brain, man learned to conquer the forces of nature.With the invention of fire and wheel, technology was developed. So, technically skilled people became the fittest to survive. With the help of technology, people were able to generate food, clothes and comforts in surplus. They started to accumulate and hoard the essentials to survive. People became so obsessed with accumulating material possessions that riches became the symbol of the fitness and power. Poor were at disadvantage and rich people gone to the extent to make them slaves. Poverty and lack became a curse. Now we have entered the New Age – the age of spiritual awakening. We have become aware of the Universal mind. More and more people are connecting with this Universal Mind or the Source. In this Age of Aquarius, information rules, and knowledge rules. Earlier this knowledge was available to only a few privileged people. Now it has become available to humanity as a whole. We have become aware of the immense potential of our mind power. We have found various techniques to tap into this power to manifest our heartfelt desires. Religions, politics, healing modalities, New Age movement – all of them acknowledge the importance of mental involvement in achieving desired results. Proper state of mind and directing your thoughts in proper direction are immensely important in the process of healing, personal development and wish fulfillment. Sometimes just by a desire, we are not able to come out of the destructive, self limiting or negative thought process. When you feel trapped into your negativity, you must immediately seek an expert's help. Human Mind is a huge reservoir of wisdom and ability. Using your mind power you can gain immense wealth, power and success including healing and health. Various Alternative health therapies like Hypnotherapy, NLP techniques, Silva method of Mind Control are popular these days. These alternative health and healing methods are helpful in getting rid of mental distress and experience mental well being. They are helpful in choosing one's life purpose and making right decisions at right time. These methods are used with weight control programmes, de addiction programmes and for treating anxiety, fear, stress, and bereavement. Before exploring these alternative health techniques, let us have a general idea about human mind. It is believed that an average man utilizes only 10% of his mental abilities. He or she is happy performing daily routine like a robot. Though we have ability to accomplish whatever we desire, most of the time we keep ourselves buried into unwanted thoughts and worries. We keep analyzing unimportant issues and direct our mental energy into wrong direction. To channel our energies into right direction, it is necessary to get acquainted with and realize our mental potential. If we understand how our mind works, we can direct energies in right direction. For the sake of convenience, we can divide our mind into three compartments – conscious mind, subconscious mind and the subliminal or the universal mind. In my forthcoming posts, let us discuss them one by one. With Lots of Love and Light, Preeti http://www.liveperson.com/gypcywoman/ |

Some alarming facts and figures: · In the US, approximately 10 million females and 1 million males are fighting a life and death battle with an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. · Millions more struggle with binge eating disorders. Many cases are not reported because people are ashamed to admit they have a problem. · Millions of people struggle with body dissatisfaction and sub-clinical disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. For example, it has been shown that 80 percent of American women are dissatisfied with their appearance. · Americans spend more than $40 billion dollars a year on dieting and diet-related products. Air, water and food are basic necessities to survive in body form. Who could have imagined food can create so many complications in life? Food is even considered sacred in almost all the cultures. In Hinduism, food is considered as sacred as God. "Annam Brahmam" meaning food is a form of God. Children are taught to respect food as God. Preparing meals and having meals are as sacred rituals similar to offering prayers and worshipping God. Every culture has some rituals before having meals. For example thanking God and mother Earth for offering a wholesome meal, praying for well being of all living beings, etc.
In Hinduism it is also believed that it is a boon to be born as a human being. After performing good deeds during millions of previous births, one can attain human body. Human body is a sacred vehicle to attain self realization and God realization. Why millions of people are not happy with their body image? What prevents them from experiencing positive body image? More and more youngsters are becoming unusually sensitive to their own selves and surroundings. Sometimes they experience the feeling of low self worth and self loathing. Sometimes suppressed guilt emerges for no apparent reason. People just want to shake off that plain icky feeling and feel fresh and clean. Eating disorders are taking the form of behavioral disorder similar to substance abuse or gambling or any other addictions. Various therapies, treatments and programs are introduced everyday. Alternative health therapies can help in treating eating disorders. Now, people can choose from a number of alternative health options available. Group therapies, individual counseling, nutrition supplements... there are a many options available to choose from. Alternative health therapies like Yoga, Reiki healing and meditation along with affirmations and visualization can help very well in achieving positive body image. Here is an informative link about eating disorders and various treatments available. http://www.something-fishy.org/reach/treatmenttypes.php As I mentioned in my previous post, root cause of any disease can be traced in energy body. What possibly may be the cause of dissatisfaction with one's body image and eating disorders? One of the reasons is accelerated ascension process we are going through collectively. Our Earth is going through tremendous vibration changes and now the process is in its full swing. We are evolving collectively as spiritual beings. Some people who had started early, already feel that sense of home coming. They have aligned themselves with higher vibrations and are at ease with ascension process. A lot more are still joining the process. They are going through a massive purging process. Dense and unpleasant feelings are being released from their energy bodies. People whose heart centers and Crown centers are blocked, are experiencing a lot of trouble. They are finding it difficult to connect with their higher self. As a result they go through all sort of negative body images, eating disorders, confusion in life, experiencing guilt etc. All the negative feelings, darkness and dense energy are trying to release. Now is a great time to purge on spiritual level. Throw out all the muck and experience pure light. Acknowledging our spiritual self and spiritual needs was never so important. Cleansing your energy bodies, clearing the blocks on energy level, grounding with Mother Earth and being centered at your heart center can help in easing out these symptoms of ascension. Wishing you a life full of light, Preeti http://www.liveperson.com/gypcywoman/ |

Root cause of a disease can be traced into energy body, but once it manifests on physical level, it should be treated with appropriate medicines. Energy healing can accelerate healing process by cleansing and energizing energy bodies or aura.Alternative health systems determine the body type before prescribing medicines. Some remedies are good for the people of certain body type. Different remedies are prescribed based on their constitution, age group, seasonal variations at a particular place, cultural influences etc. All foods are not good for everyone. Similarly, different remedies and lifestyle practices are advisable during different seasons for the people of different age groups. People should follow regime and lifestyle practices appropriate to their culture, place of residence, season and body type. Ayurveda is the ancient most alternative health system originated in India. As per Ayurveda, our body is a sacred vehicle to experience the Divine. If health on physical level is not in robust condition, our senses do not perform well. If inputs from our senses are distorted, we create a world of illusion. As a result we cannot perceive truth and experience Divine. So, it is necessary to treat your body with respect and care. Ayurveda, meaning science of life, addresses questions like: what are we made of? What are the basic elements and constituents of our body? How do they shape our thinking process and affect our perceptions? How imbalances on body level can affect our mental/emotional state of mind? Etc As per Ayurveda, this whole universe and everything in it made up of five basic elements. These elements are Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Ether. Earth element manifests in form of solid state of matter. Water element manifests in the form of liquid state, Air manifests as gaseous state of matter, Fire element expresses itself as transformational energy. Ether is nothing but space. Space exists everywhere, even in between two molecules. Ether is that mysterious element that can be described at great length. Even our body structure is made up of different combinations of these five elements. Ayurveda defines and categorises body types based on three humour or Dosha. They are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Vata is composite energy of Air and Ether elements. Its characteristics are dry, active, cold, and erratic. Pitta is composite energy of Fire and Water elements. Its characteristics are hot, sharp, intense and oily. Kapha is composite energy of Water and Earth element. Its characteristics are heavy, cool, calm and moist. Our body comprises of all the three Doshas. Each individual is a unique mix of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These Doshas are energy flows or qualities that can be experienced by us. Each body type can have one of the above Dosha or humour as a dominant Dosha. Accordingly body type of a person can be defined. People with predominance of Vata have dry skin and dry hair. They have erratic temperament, slim body and cold hands and feet. They are restless people and cannot sit at one place. Emotions like fear and anxiety are associated with Vata energy. People with predominance of Pitta are hot blooded and hot tempered people. Their body temperature is slightly higher than the others. They have soft, warm skin and straight hair. They can easily lose their temper. Their senses are very sharp and speech is also sharp. Moderate body frame and premature gray hair indicate dominance of Pitta. They are intelligent people with high ambitions and ruling abilities. People with predominance of Kapha are heavy built, slow and calm people. They have beautiful skin, attractive eyes and curly hair. They enjoy good food and good life. They are loving, caring and forgiving people. Imbalances of these Dosha create diseases. Recently I came across shocking revelation that more and more people are not comfortable with their body image. As a result, severe eating disorders are created. Children as young as 8 years, are showing the symptoms of eating disorder. Here is the link to the News Article: http://live.psu.edu/story/34005 Can alternative health therapy help in treating eating disorders? In my next post, let us examine the various options. With Love, Joy and Peace, Preeti http://www.liveperson.com/gypcywoman/ |
