NLP phobia/fear easy self-help cure

There is more good news for those who are held hostage by pain and fear programs. NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) has a likewise fast, simple and effective cure for phobias and fear-laden issues. This technique, known as the fast phobia cure, rivals the tapping technique described previously for fast, simple effective relief. This technique, as well as other NLP techniques, is described at the website http://www.thenlpcompany.com/techniques/ . The strategy used in this cure is to re-live the trauma event, but in reverse! The procedure is to imagine being in a movie theater, and to experience the trauma second hand, vicariously, as it is being run in reverse on the screen. Because recalling the memory of a trauma can be problematic, the trauma victim is encouraged to recall the traumatic event as if it were happening to someone else, remaining detached from the event at first. The subject is instructed to pretend to be in a movie theater, observing himself in the audience watching the action on the movie screen. Thus he is twice removed from the action. Once the mind movie sequence is run in reverse, then the experience is to be experienced first-hand by “jumping in” to the movie for the reverse experience. In terms of our mind model, what has happened is that negative trauma program now has an alternative to ending in the emotional soup once triggered. Previously the triggering of the trauma memory led the subject one-way to the painful conclusion. Once the trauma is experienced in reverse, there is a new program, the “reverse trauma” program, present that gives the mind an alternative choice to the “emotional soup” that leads to the status quo of before the trauma. And as mentioned before, you always and automatically select the most resourceful alternative!

The Psychology of Subconscious Thinking.

The following entry contains an important new self-help technique from the field of energy medicine. To be in the upcoming book The Psychology of Subconscious Thinking. Einstein said that in order to solve a problem that we are faced with, we need to find a “new level of consciousness” from which to approach it. And that makes sense, especially if the problem is within you. If your consciousness contained the solution, and you were aware of it, you would have already solved your problem! You need to think outside the box - the conscious “map of reality” mind box. This box is your conscious awareness, and you need to expand your consciousness. This part of your mind is based on all of your past experiences, it is part of your past and you need to reach outside this box to go forward into your future. Open up your consciousness and expect a miracle! These past programs have us boxed in, in a number of ways: Pain/fear programs. Perhaps the most toxic of all programs are the traumatic episodes from our past that persist and interfere with our present. These programs often operate outside our awareness and outside our control. However, some methods for detoxifying traumas and their phobic responses have recently been developed. Two very simple techniques are from the fields of EFT and NLP. Tapping. This technique, also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), consists of tapping on the body’s energy meridians used in acupuncture and acupressure, the ancient Asian energy medicine therapy points. This 5,000 year old healing science has been largely ignored by mainstream Western medicine, at least until lately, as research and practice has shown it to be an effective alternative method for treating many and varied physical and psychological ailments. The WebMD website has an explanation of these energy healing methods at: http://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/acupressure-points-and-massage-treatment The energy healing EFT tapping technique was developed by Gary Craig, in 1993; this was an adaptation and simplification of a similar energy healing technique being used by psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan at that time, plus some of Gary’s insights as a NLP Master Practitioner. Gary was able to streamline and simplify Roger Callahan’s methodology to the point where anyone, even a child, can quickly learn the technique and use it effectively. And this is all without medical treatment or drugs, and at no cost to the user. (This may be part of the reason that the medical establishment has largely ignored this promising new field of energy healing.) The procedure is deceptively simple; it consists of a two-part phrase that is spoken aloud and (at the same time) gently tapping with the fingers on some easily accessible “meridian” spots of the upper torso. The first part of the spoken phrase focuses on and “exposes” the problematic condition (perhaps a headache) or negative memory (perhaps a fear of heights from a childhood fall). The second part of the phrase is a spoken assurance of self-acceptance (“I deeply and completely accept myself”). This phrase is repeated each time while tapping on nine meridians as detailed in the website below. Gary Craig offers this website for those who want to learn EFT to heal themselves and/or others, or to teach it. This free website, http://www.garythink.com/ offers full information, free EFT tutorials, videos and much more. Gary is a man on a mission to reach out and help others with EFT. He is now working with his daughter, Tina, researching and developing new ways of promoting healing. No doubt we’ll be hearing more from them. So how does this tapping procedure work? Most theoretical explanations revolve around balancing the body’s energy system known as “qi” (chi). This qi flows throughout the body through a network of channels that may be accessed at various “meridians”. While the most obvious component of qi energy would seem to be transmitted by the nervous system, other components are thought to be the skin, connective tissues, the bloodstream, etc. And these are all part of the body/mind/spirit package that is us. Sometimes “blockages” can occur in this energy flow, presumably from some past physical or emotional occurrence. As these meridians are stimulated by tapping on them while focusing on the cause of the unbalance, (the first part of the spoken phrase) and pairing it with the second, self-acceptance part, the qi is redistributed and balanced. In terms of the Hebbian/NLP model of the mind presented in The Psychology of Positive Thinking, we know that negative programs may well interfere in our daily life, consciously and subconsciously. These are the “dead-end” programs that can land us in an emotional soup. They may also be seen as causing the emotional “qi” blockages that occur, and result in the unbalanced energy system. The effect of tapping on the meridians while focusing on the negative program triggers the balancing effect of the redistribution of qi. The negative program is no longer the only player; the entire somatic nervous/energy system gets involved. And pairing the exposed negative program with the second self-acceptance program makes the negative program become a trigger for self-acceptance! This gives the previously negative program new choices to connect to emotionally free alternative programs. And the beat goes on, with emotional freedom. The previously dead-end program now has viable alternative programs to connect to, instead of the emotional soup. You (your conscious or subconscious) now have a more resourceful choice,(and according to NLP's main principle)you always and automatically select the most resourceful alternative!
