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.

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.

A Spiritual Awakening

In my profession I see people for many reasons. I do my best to facilitate each session within a person’s belief system- whether religious, spiritual or otherwise. My intention is always to hold a safe, non-judgmental space where a person may share and feel comfortable in using hypnosis to access and tap into their unlimited potential.

I have facilitated many sessions for those wishing to seek guidance, answers or to explore more spiritually. Clients discover that there is so much more available to each of us that we are not even aware of yet!

So, if you are seeking an opportunity to:

• explore within,

• discover more about who you truly are

• become your best self

• explore new ways of seeing, being and thinking

then I am taking new clients and would love to facilitate a session with you.

Hypnosis will provide a tool for you to relax, explore and perhaps expand your perspectives about yourself and your life.

I hold sessions both online and in-person in my Kelowna based office. Text, call or email me and let’s explore and perhaps expand your knowledge and abilities!

Managing Chronic Pain

If you are living with chronic pain you already know how over time it can also lead to stress, anxious thoughts or feelings, an inability to get restorative sleep and a decreased ability to focus during your day.

 It has been my experience that most chronic sufferers come to see me more than two to five years after the onset of their condition. By this time they have thoroughly explored their diagnosis as well as treatment options. Often a person has given up hope of finding any kind of relief.

Hypnosis allows you to focus your attention and alter your perception of pain and therefore change your experience. Your body has an amazing communication network already in place and functioning so we can tap into this communication system and begin sending signals that will benefit you.

Will hypnosis work? Chances are that if you can immerse yourself in your imagination- if you can easily get absorbed in a good book, or a great movie, or perhaps a video game- you can be hypnotized.

Hypnosis is a drug-free, non-invasive, alternative way to manage your discomfort. Often hypnosis sessions can be turned into audios that you can continue to use at home for continued comfort.

If you would like to explore ways in which you can turn your pain down so that you can start moving better, thinking better, living life better and on your terms, returning to things you like to do and sleeping well while feeling less anxious than call me for a complimentary 15 minute chat to explore how hypnosis may benefit you.

Physical pain manifesting in the body

Did you know that emotional stress may manifest as physical pain?

Emotional stress may manifest as pain in many different ways. A person may have a reoccurring headache or a pain in their leg, arm or back that doesn’t seem to heal or go away.

Over the years I have helped clients who were experiencing pain that the medical community could find no basis for. These clients, over time, had run out of medical options for finding relief from their physical discomfort. At some point they seek out alternative therapies in hopes of finding comfort. That is often when I see the person and unfortunately this usually occurs years after enduring physical pain!

One of the first things I am curious about are the events that happened in the person’s life when the pain first appeared. This can be very revealing! As part of the initial session we determine the best hypnotherapy path to explore and proceed. While there are many therapy options I have provided a couple of examples below.

Hypnosis is useful in accessing resourceful memories to rediscover a time when a person felt healthy- physically, mentally and emotionally.

That wonderful feeling of health can be anchored, like a magic button, so it can easily be accessed whenever desired. The result? That feeling of health is brought through the body and mind easily. This often provides relief .

There may be trapped emotions and self-limiting beliefs beneath the physical pain.

Hypnosis can be used to access the underlying emotion, which can be followed back in time to when it first occurred. It is so interesting to discover the source of the discomfort! For example, sometimes people hold on to discomfort to punish themselves; they may hold onto the pain for attention; or perhaps a person of authority told them they would never fully heal. Whatever the reason, once a person becomes consciously aware of the reason, it can be a game changer. That is when so much shifting and releasing takes place. Pain may be released immediately or may be released over a number of days or weeks.

I am always amazed at the healing that can take place!

If you are interesting in learning more contact Kristine for a complimentary 15 minute chat to explore how hypnotherapy may benefit you.

Stay tuned as I will discuss options for managing chronic pain in a future chapter.

A moment of reflection

I have been a little bit quiet on here lately as I have been busy working with my clients and building tools and materials to help future clients.

After working with a person I do my best to follow up and see how things have changed. Or, out of the blue I will hear from a client with an update on their progress. There are times when I get goosebumps as I read these emails and I can’t help but smile as I hear how that person is progressing- shifting, and healing as they move forward. This is what keeps me going! This is one of the many things that motivates me to continue to do what I do.

Especially now, it is so important to take care of your mental health. Doing so is not a weakness. Taking care of your mental health is no different than taking care of your physical health.

If you are noticing a few things going on in your life such as poor sleep, feeling frustrated or anxious, getting irritable or feeling overwhelmed isn’t it time to take some action? Why wait for it to get worse?

Who doesn’t want to feel good, capable and confident moving forward?

If you are ready I offer sessions Tuesday - Saturday and continue to offer evening sessions for those who can’t come to see me during the day. Contact me directly to book a session and change the ways things are showing up in your life.

Self-sabotaging your success?

What is blocking you from reaching your full potential?

Often, you don’t have to look much further than the reflection in the mirror.

Mental blocks can affect a person’s life mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, and in many other ways.

Perhaps you are making unhealthy life choices or limiting your success at work or school?

We may form mental blocks and self-limiting beliefs through our environment, the people we are around, as a result of a traumatic event, and even social media.

Using hypnosis we can tap into discovering what those mental blocks or limiting beliefs are and where they are coming from! You can then remove those blocks and update those old beliefs and start manifesting the outcomes you desire!

Plus, we can build your confidence by moving you forward in time- seeing yourself achieving those outcomes you desire and experiencing success!
