WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?

Simply stated, hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation. With the aid of a trained hypnotherapist, positive suggestions can be made to your subconscious mind to help you with:

• weight loss
• smoking cessation
• managing and relieving physical pain
• traumatic memories

Most people have been in a hypnotized state in very ordinary ways—like driving down a long stretch of highway or staring at a television screen. Hypnosis is really a very familiar and natural state in which you maintain awareness and control.

WHAT IS ALCHEMY HYPNOTHERAPY?

Alchemy hypnotherapy addresses childhood pains and traumas by rescuing the inner child—the part of the adult that has been damaged by outdated beliefs and memories. David Quiqley, founder and director of Alchemy Hypnosisi Institute, states that Alchemy Hypnotherapy transforms the lead of “mental and emotional debris of our mortal consciousness into the Gold of self-realization."

Alchemy hypnotherapy uses a combination of processes, including Conference Room, Inner Guide work, and Inner Journeys, to help clients overcome a wide range of conditions, including addictions and phobias.

Alchemy hypnotherapy can be used to aid in calming anxiety and managing pain. Clients can be taught how to use self-hypnosis to manage pain and anxiety on their own.

EFT (EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES

                             Photograph by Tim Fleming

    Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.

                                                                            Ralph Waldo Emerson

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF EFT?

"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system."

                                                                                              Gary Craig, EFT Founder

EFT evolved from a technique called Thought Field Therapy™ (TFT) developed by Dr. Roger Callahan, a clinical psychologist. Dr. Callahan discovered this technique while he was studying acupuncture and the body's energy system. During this period he was treating a patient who had a severe water phobia. Dr. Callahan noted that the patient said her fearful feeling was located in her stomach, so he tapped on the meridian point under the eye that is linked to the stomach and anxiety. After a few minutes of tapping, she stated excitedly that the fearful feeling was gone. She then told him her water phobia was also gone and proceeded to prove it. 

Gary Craig, an engineer from Stanford and a master NLP practitioner, studied with Dr. Callahan. After several years he created a procedure that is easy to use which he called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) .

Here is a brief description of how EFT works: After measuring the emotional charge of your problem (on a scale of 0-10), you state the problem clearly and do the Basic Recipe. The Basic Recipe consists of tapping energy meridians on the body while saying a phrase associated with the presenting problem. It takes only a minute or two to do, and the results are often quite remarkable. For a complete step-by-step explanation of how to use EFT, call for an appointment or visit www.emofree.com .

THE METAPHOR OF THE FOREST AND EFT

Gary Craig uses a metaphor to explain EFT. He states the presenting problem is similar to a forest with diseased trees. Each of the underlying specific issues of the problem represents a diseased tree. At first, the forest is so densely populated with trees that it seems impossible to find your way out. When you neutralize each specific negative event connected to the problem with The Basic Recipe, you are effectively cutting down a diseased tree. Continue cutting down these trees, and after a while the forest will have thinned out so that you can walk out of it with ease.
