The BIG Revelation About Your Brain!

There are people making big bucks in every field---and not delivering the goods. My client told me that she paid $150 to attend a group weight-loss seminar through her work place.  The seminar leader taught that negative thinking and bad habits have created a pattern in her brain...a pattern that he said cannot be changed. So, what was the purpose of theseminar? 

The woman left because she wasn't hearing anything of value.  And she didn't get a refund. "There they go again," I thought.  Giving outdated information; myth masquerading as fact; and taking people's money while giving nothing in return. Many of us in alternative healing, like my field of clinical hypnosis, keep up with new findings in scientific research, as well as new technology in our own field.  We are open to new concepts and paradigms.   

My client was looking for a tool she could use to change her thinking about food, her weight, and her self loathing.  The seminar presenter stopped short of giving her what she and others were looking for because he was uninformed, and not keeping up with brain research so he could actually help his customers.  What he could have explained in a few minutes---if he had known it---is a concept easy to grasp and easy to practice.

The brain is plastic---has plasticity; the capacity for change via new cell growth.   The body is always listening to the brain to know how it should feel; and the brain is listening to our thoughts!! The thoughts are created in the mind.  And mind isn't only in the brain; it is everywhere within us and around us.  The human energy field is our thought field.  

Think of the brain as an amplifier of thought energy (electricity). The brain "catches" a thought of a negative quality; then the brain sends negative messages to the body--all organs and systems, to react negatively; to release stress hormones--like cortisol and other chemicals that create physical and mental stress and pain. Through years of that process, disease is born.

Similarly, when the brain amplifies positive thought energy, the body "reads" the instructions to release "feel-good chemicals" and hormones--like the neurotransmitter serotonin.  Through that process, the body feels good, and retains mental sharpness and focus instead of confusion and nervousness.  One process lowers the immune system and causes disease, while the other boosts the immune system creating a healing state.

What I've described is called "the mind-body connection," and has quite recently been "discovered" by researchers in medicine...neuroscience.  Others have known about this connection for centuries. If you change your thoughts you can change the way you feel; with the correct quality of thought, you can re-wire your brain and change your life.  But how do you make this happen?

I gave my client the tool she needed and guided her to demonstrate it herself.  She could now practice transforming the negative electrical circuitry in her brain by interrupting her thought pattern.  And everytime she practices it....she saves $150!

 My next blog entry will teach this simple tool. Thank you very much for reading this.
