Breaking Free: How Addressing Old Patterns and Beliefs Can Transform Your Life

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle, unable to break free from the same unwanted patterns and beliefs that keep holding you back? You're not alone. Many of us find ourselves trapped in familiar routines, behaviors, and mindsets that limit our potential and prevent us from achieving our goals.

But what if I told you that there's a way to break free from these old patterns and beliefs, liberating yourself to create the life you truly desire?

Old patterns and beliefs often stem from our past experiences, upbringing, and societal conditioning. They may have served a purpose at some point, helping us navigate challenges, or protecting ourselves from harm. However, as we evolve and grow, these patterns can become outdated and restrictive, keeping us confined to our comfort zones and preventing us from reaching our full potential.

The key to breaking free lies in understanding the root cause of these patterns and beliefs. Through hypnotherapy, we can access your amazing subconscious mind, where these deeply ingrained beliefs reside. By exploring the origins of these beliefs and uncovering the underlying emotions and experiences that fuel them, we can begin to unravel their hold on us and release them.

Hypnotherapy offers a safe and effective way to reframe our beliefs and create new, empowering narratives. By challenging negative thought patterns and updating them with your current knowledge and wisdom, we can rewrite the script of our lives and align ourselves with our goals and aspirations.

As we release old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us, we experience a profound sense of liberation and empowerment. We become the architects of our own destiny, capable of creating the life we desire with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Breaking free from old patterns and beliefs requires courage, commitment, and a willingness to embrace change. The rewards are immeasurable. By freeing ourselves from the shackles of the past, we open ourselves up to new possibilities, opportunities, and experiences that enrich our lives and propel us forward on our journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

So if you find yourself feeling trapped by old patterns and beliefs, know that there is hope. I can help you get to that place where you can help yourself break free from the chains of the past and step into a future filled with unlimited potential and possibilities. Embrace the journey of transformation, and watch as your life unfolds in ways you never thought possible.

Neurons & Anxiety

Neurons that fire together, wire together.

If your brain fires off two neurons, or perhaps two networks of neurons, at the same time then they will begin to become wired together.

For example, when you see or think of the Nike logo, what phrase comes to mind?

“Just do it.”

These two networks, the Nike logo and the phrase “Just do it.”,  get to know each other. Once intertwined they start firing together becoming a single network.

Soon, you may find that one naturally goes with the other!

How might this relate to anxiety?

Consider for a moment a young girl in school.

• During show and tell she becomes nervous.

• In high school when presenting to the class she becomes extremely nervous.

• In her first job, she has to present in a boardroom and becomes so nervous that she begins to have a panic attack.

Through conditioning this woman’s brain has wired two things together- presenting to a group of people and being nervous  to create one mental circuit!

Presenting to group of people =  Feeling nervous

Does this sound familiar?

How can we create positive change?

Fortunately there are many ways to interrupt this conditioning and create new circuits in your brain so that you feel empowered with the ability to move forward feeling more comfortable.

I may teach you simple yet amazing neuroplasticity tools.

We may use hypnosis to anchor in some wonderful resources such as feeling calm or comfortable.

And the more you use these tools and bring in those resource anchors the more neurons and neural networks will be recruited and working for you!

Self-limiting Beliefs

Do you have self-limiting beliefs that you would like to change?

These limiting beliefs may come about for a variety of different reasons. These beliefs may have you:

• Doing something you don’t want

• Doing something more often than you want

• Doing something less often than you want, or

• Not doing something you want!

---

Self-limiting beliefs may be formed in a variety of different ways. Perhaps consider where your belief may be rooted.

1.       Thought + emotion = belief

At some point you may have had a thought that was combined with an emotional “energy” or “force” behind it creating a belief.

 

2.       A belief created from emotionally charged unconscious “one time learning events”

These are often, but not always, created during childhood before the age of seven and are a by-product of emotionally charged moments. These moments may, or may not, include another person. The result is often a child who makes a decision about him/herself or the way the world works.

In some cases, if there is an adult involved when a limiting belief is installed during emotionally charged moments, and that adult is often a parent, teacher or authority figure.

 

3.       A belief virus

At times a new belief may happen as a person is exposed to another person’s thinking process. This may originate from a family member or friend.

For example, someone with a self- limiting belief financially may have heard from a parent while growing up that money doesn’t grow on trees or that you have to work hard for your money.

---

You can change your self- limiting beliefs by tapping into the power of your subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy provides a wonderful modality to create positive change thereby empowering you to:

• Stop doing that thing you don’t want to do

• Do that thing less often

• Do that thing more often, or

• Start doing that thing you want to begin doing!

Are you curious about how to begin this process and update those old, outdated beliefs?

Benefits of Hypnosis for Diabetes

Would you consider hypnosis in managing your diabetes?

Diabetes occurs when the body can’t regulate blood sugar very well, which causes an elevated level of sugar in the blood.

STRESS often leads to a rise in blood sugar to help improve energy, but in diabetes, the sugar cannot be used well.

HYPNOSIS can be beneficial in calming a person down, which helps in decreasing blood sugar levels! Hypnosis can also be used to promote more constructive ways to manage those stressful situations and promote a healthy life style that will in turn improve the control of blood sugars. Promoting a more healthy lifestyle may include maintaining a healthy diet, increasing your exercise and getting restorative sleep!

Do you have a fear of needles?

Hypnosis by also be beneficial in helping you being more comfortable with the use of needles or lancets.

It would be my pleasure in helping you discover how hypnosis may benefit you in the management of diabetes.

Building Immunity and Wellness: A Hypnotic Approach

Building Immunity and Wellness

It should come as no surprise that continual exposure to negative messages can overwhelm your conscious mind with stress, anxious thoughts and negative emotions. During the last two years fear has become common place. When you combine stress, fear and anxiety you may activate or suppress your immune system which may leave you more vulnerable to infections and illness against parasites, bacteria and viruses.

Hypnosis may be beneficial in building greater resilience and hardiness.

A Hypnotic Holistic Approach to Wellness

Did you know that hypnosis often includes wonderful breathing techniques and progressive relaxation which induces a relaxation response as your muscles loosen, your breathing deepens, your heartbeat slows and blood pressure drops. This is the physiological opposite of stress.  Clients often report feeling wonderfully relaxed and may even comment on how their once slow digestive system is responding in a positive way.

Emotions can influence your body’s systems in ways that are either renewing or depleting. By identifying those unwanted emotions and attitudes that may deplete you (such as stress) we can then replace them with positive, wanted emotions and attitudes that facilitate renewal as you build resilience and immunity. These positive feelings can be anchored, for easy access outside of your session.  Clients report finding themselves feeling more comfortable and at ease while performing routine tasks that once had them feeling anxious.

By exploring hypnosis, we can determine the methods that really work well for you and incorporate them into a personalized, relaxing self care audio for you to use anytime. I offer audios in the form of walking or sitting meditations as well as hypnosis.

Incorporating hypnosis or meditation into your self-care routine you can change the way you feel. You may become more self- aware of your thoughts and body, may enjoy locking in positive emotions as you build your mind-body resilience and strengthen your immune system- taking an active role in your state of wellness.

Are you ready to explore hypnosis as an option in self-care? Do you know someone who would benefit from a little self-care?

Sessions are offered in person, if you live in Kelowna or the Okanagan area, and online for those ready to experience this relaxed state of being from the comfort of your own home.

Discover how hypnotherapy may be incorporated into your self-care routine!

Ancestral Healing

An Alternative Healing Therapy

Ancestral Healing: What do I Carry and for Whom Do I carry it?

Have you ever felt like a part of your soul has been fragmented by trauma that originated with your ancestors? Could this entanglement be holding you back from healing or releasing unhelpful emotions or outdated beliefs?

Sometimes we need to go beyond healing the individual and heal our ancestors or a collective community.

We are all interconnected and we may go beyond the ‘me’ consciousness to achieve a greater sense of wholeness. Ancestral healing gives us one way to do just that. It doesn’t matter if an ancestor is alive or dead, their soul and remaining consciousness continue to carry their experiences from the past. It is these past experiences that may have great influence on an individual and society.

Ancestral healing is on a spiritual, non-physical inheritance that has travelled with and been carried by the soul.

Consider, if you will, your own ancestral past. Ask yourself a question, “What do I carry and for whom do I carry it?” You may find clues to the origin of residual helplessness, guilt, anger, low self-regard, depression, shame or perhaps anxiety you are feeling.

And these feelings may have come from your childhood- perhaps from an abusive or neglectful parent, a past loss or some other trauma. But residual shame or guilt may also be derived from a grandparent who lost their child, or a great grandfather who was killed in a war. You may not be conscious of these events that initiated those unwanted thoughts or emotions but it doesn’t diminish the power they may hold on you.

Through ancestral healing you may come to understand something that is much larger than your own life, you empower yourself and take responsibility for your own actions. You also come to understand that your relatives and ancestors did the best they could at that time. They would have acted differently had they known what we understand now and as a result forgiveness often comes more easily. The real lesson behind the story of life is that our soul continues to learn and grow.

Imagine, using hypnotherapy, you further understand where those unwanted patterns or old beliefs are coming from. You are guided to return those outdated beliefs to their rightful owner- who in turn can give them back to where they got them from. During this process you bring healing to yourself, those ancestors of the past and prevent any future generations from carrying those outdated beliefs and patterns.

At the time the fear may have served a purpose but now it may be hindering you from moving forward with a medical or cosmetic procedure.
