Guest guest Posted April 10, 1999 Report Share Posted April 10, 1999 Hello! I decided to join this list because the correlation between what we think and what we create fascinates me. I've watched Caroline Myss' video tapes and have had some exposure to Chakras. I've been aware of affirmations for years and have used them with great results. In my own personal growth, I feel that journaling is the " missing link " . I have to admit that there are things that I find myself resisting, so I have chosen to persist and join the list.

I have taken a couple of weekend classes in hypnotherapy, mostly to support my guided visualization work with clients, but I am always interested in more. It is amazing to me that hypnosis can help a person get to an issue without having to consciously explore it; for those who have suffered trauma, that must be a plus.

How does this work? I thought when you did hypnosis, you would consciously remember whatever went on in the session. Tell me more about this, please? <sitting with ears all open> Anukki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 1999 Report Share Posted April 10, 1999 Greetings listfolk! I joined this list because there was a time in my career as an LMT when I had no idea what energy could do through my hands. I have since learned what Reiki energy is all about, and even though I have not recieved attunements from an earthbound master, I have them just the same. I am here to learn, to share, to feel, to experience. I know I am blessed with healing energy and need to communicate with others like me. List Mother Crow, bless you for the invitation. Thank you!.......Song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 1999 Report Share Posted April 11, 1999 Why I d? I work with various people mostly people with von Hipple-Lindau disease to help bring body and mind back into sync. In working with natural healing therapies I d to the list to see and hear other healing modalities. I will be giving a presentation in June on complementary therapies and I was hoping to gain additional insight from this list. Nicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Hippel-Lindau disease is one of the most common of the familial cancers. It is caused by a flaw in one tumor suppressor gene, Once changed, this faulty gene can be passed down in the family. Each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the faulty gene. Once the tumor suppressor gene is out of commission, tumors may form in one or more places in the body, while it may differ in individual families. Of the people that may carry the VHL gene 57% may have tumors of the retina 30% may have tumors in the adrenal glands 54% may have tumors in the cerebellum 15% may have tumors of the spinal cord 23% may have kidney cancer more than 50% may have cysts in the kidney and pancreas If you would like additional information on von Hippel Lindau see www.vhl.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky: I am participating on a panel at a MA state ANA meeting in May on " alternative medicine and its interface with modern nursing " (chew on that moniker-- LOL) I'm presenting, briefly, on Healing Touch. Who is your population for your presentation in June? How long will you have to speak/present?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 1999 Report Share Posted April 11, 1999 I'm not sure if I am in the right place, but I'm looking for something to help me with a constant feeling of fear and anxiety I have. I just don't understand it. I guess I'm looking for some kind of breathing or relaxing methods to use. I'm female, 43, married, mother of two adult daughters not living at home, two and a half grandkids, I'm a plant manager, I'm basically a good person. My husband and I are friends, we work together and have spent 24 hours a day together for twelve years. With the help of Viagra we have an awesome sex life. A couple of months ago I quit smoking and drinking alcohol. I have a wonderful life. I should be happy and proud of these accomplishments in my life. But my mind won't let me rest, be happy and free from fear. It causes almost a physical aching in my chest almost all the time. I need something to help me. Life is passing me by and I'm wasting it by drowning in sadness. Why? Well, that pretty much covers it. I d to learn. Is this the right place? cas > Greetings listfolk! > I joined this list because there was a time in my career as an LMT > when I had no idea what energy could do through my hands.

For all of those years, the smoking helped me supress the anxiety that I felt and I had to learn to let it go. As one of the many bodyworkers on this list, I would suggest that you find a massage therapist and have a relaxing, stress and anxiety reducing massage. If you let us know what city you are in, perhaps we can help you find someone. Another suggestion I have would be meditation. Exercise is also a good way to rid yourself of anxiety. Journaling in a private journal can help too. A good counselor/therapist can do wonders as well. Good luck to you and keep us informed as to your well-being.

Well, that pretty much > covers it. I d to learn. Is this the right place? This might be the place, and it might not be. Here you will find questions, such as yours. You will find answers, some which may apply, or not. That will be for you to decide. From reading your post, the first thing that came to mind was meditation. This can help to quiet the mind. I would recommend listening to the tape set " The Present Moment " by Thay Thicht Nhat Hanh (I rarely get the name spelled correctly.) There are various methods used during meditation practice, mantras, sounds, and the breath are a few. I would suggest looking into some available workshops and/or classes to find one with which you will be most comfortable. And I would recommend one other thing, as I do with all who seek answers to whatever questions they have: continue your search for your answers, until you find those answers. What works for one person may not work for another. You have to search until you find what is best for *you*. Manny Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 Thanks for your recommendations Manny. I am definately open to suggestions. Do you think if I listen to " The Present Moment " it will help quiet my mind? Does it teach breathing methods? My main problem is I live in a rural area and there are just not that many workshops. I'm not looking for an instant solutions because I've let this go on too long as it is. But I am looking for a small amount of relief and really think breathing methods or trying to teach myself meditation could help some. cas > This might be the place, and it might not be.

If you invest enough time and energy, you are likely to begin to see results. But you can't expect to listen to the tapes and find yourself suddenly with a quiet mind. > Does it teach breathing methods?

In addition to the breath work, Thay Thicht Nhat Hanh describes a method of walking meditation. It moves the focus from the breath to the feet. The idea is to feel your connection with the earth as each foot moves forward and is placed upon the earth. Another method is the use of sound, what he calls " inviting the bell to sound " , and focus on its reverberations as they fade into infinity. The price of the tape set may vary regionally, but it is considerably less expensive than attending a workshop. And it will provide you with exposure to meditation techniques so that you may determine for yourself if this is a direction you might wish to follow.
