Relax Through Listening

Over my years in practice I have worked with a lot of people that have anxiety. Recently while I was preparing my workshop, Yoga and the Chakras, I read about the 1st chakra (issues of safety and security). The author mentioned the concept of “having the right to be here”. It struck a chord with me and as I worked with my clients over the next few weeks that have anxiety as an issue I asked them if they felt like they had the right to be here. They felt a strong connection with the idea. Maybe not every one that has anxiety has this issue but I think a lot of them do. It would be hard to live life from a place of safety and security if you don’t believe that you have the right to be here and take up space. Installing positve beliefs and changing old beliefs are both helpful with this. Also, clearing out old memories that fed into the old belief is helpful. Using any of the relaxation recordings can also be helpful in reducing anxiety because it helps to connect the neural pathways to the relaxed pathways instead of the traumatic or neutral pathways. Listen, relax, and enjoy life to it’s fullest.

This is my first posting on my brand new blog. This is where I will share my thoughts about those topics that are of the most interest to me: relaxation, yoga, personal growth, and the connecting spiritual aspects that enchance all of the first three. Since 1988 I have studied, practiced, taught, and helped others with all of the above. I began with studying hypnosis to use with my clients and began to use it with myself to help me relax and change my beliefs about myself. What some people call guided imagery, I would put under the heading of hypnois. The unifiying factor for me is getting to an altered state of awareness that allows change to occur more easily. That is really what this blog, my website, and my personal and professional life is about. How do we change, how do we come to a place to allow change to occur? How do we find more peace in our lives and in our relationships with others? I truly believe that we will not have peace in the world, the nation, our cities, or our families until we have peace inside. So join me in this process as I continue to share with you my thoughts, learnings, and other experiences that bring greater joy, productivity, and better relationships in our lives.
