Handwriting Analysis
REIKI HEALING:
Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese seeker of spiritual truths, brought the Reiki method of healing into human awareness in 1922 after a deep spiritual experience. He is said to have begun teaching others in Japan and he felt urged to spread his knowledge. Reiki is administered by “laying on of hands” just off the body or lightly touching the body and is based on the idea that ” universal life force energy” flows through us all which is what causes us to be alive. In a Reiki session, the practitioner is seeking to be a channel to transmit Universal Life Energy to the client directly from the universe.. The intention is to create deep relaxation, to help speed healing, reduce pain and stress, and decrease other symptoms you may be experiencing. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.” A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being.
HYPNOTHERAPY:
Over the last 300 years, such names as Franz Anton Mesmer, Sigmund Freud, Doctor Braid, and Milton J. Erickson have helped develop what we know today as hypnotherapy – using hypnosis in conjunction with other therapeutic techniques to help people overcome a wide variety of physical and psychological problems.
Advances in hypnotherapy over the past few decades have lead to wonderful results, in office session and even by the phones. And the list of ways this can help just keeps on growing. Hypnosis therapy can help with:
Fears, phobias, panic, and anxieties
Weight loss and smoking cessation
Stress reduction
Improving confidence and self esteem
Procrastination and motivation problems
Relieving pain—acute, chronic (like fibromyalgia), surgical or dental
Enhancing athletic or test performance
*I have seen many successes using hypnotherapy for the above mentioned issues. Because every person is different, results may vary. Some issues are resolved more quickly for some individual than others.
HOW HYPNOSIS WORKS:
When therapists apply hypnosis in a clinical setting, the outcomes are successful. But now that you understand hypnosis is more than a party trick, you may wonder how hypnosis works as a therapeutic tool. A hypnotherapist uses a patient’s hypnotic state to explore memories, feelings, and thoughts that are locked away in their subconscious mind. Hypnosis gives patients the tools to take a different approach to their ailments; for example, a person struggling with pain might begin to block their awareness of the pain. Hypnotherapists tend to use hypnosis in two ways, for patient analysis or suggestion therapy.
When approaching the hypnotic state from an analytical perspective, hypnotherapists explore the psychological roots of a disorder by accessing a patient’s hypnotic state. The relaxation that usually occurs during hypnosis enables a hypnotherapist to find psychological bread crumbs that lead to the source of a symptom, disorder, or an addiction. For instance, hypnosis may reveal a traumatic event that lurks in a patient’s unconscious memory. Once the hypnotherapist is aware of the trauma, they can address it in psychotherapy.
Suggestion therapy is a well-known approach to hypnosis therapy. When a person reaches a hypnotic state, they tend to respond positively to suggestions. Thus, hypnotherapy can help modify certain behaviors in people such as smoking or even nail biting. Suggestion therapy is also an effective way to help people change their perception of certain feelings and sensations. Therefore, hypnotherapists will often use suggestion therapy to treat pain.
Hypnosis is believed to work by shifting a patient’s state of consciousness to such a degree that the analytical left side of the brain is inactive, while the non-analytical right side of the brain is more alert. As a result, the conscious mind is suppressed, and the subconscious comes to the forefront.
Having your conscious in the back seat of the mind and letting the subconscious in control is essential to altering a patient’s behavioral and physical state. If you’re not sure why that is, think of it this way: A patient who consciously wants to overcome their fear of heights can consciously take action, but they will fail to move on if their subconscious continues to retain their terror associated with heights. Think of hypnosis therapy as reprogramming the subconscious to alter beliefs and behaviors.
Hypnosis therapy is a well-respected medical treatment. If you struggle with phobias, pain, or addiction, contact Ava Evans to see what hypnotherapy can do for you.
I have always been fascinated with human behavior and emotions, and I enjoy a deep intuitive connection and understanding with others. She has worked in customer service and was a senior Administrative assistant for over 15 years. But she still felt that something was missing. She wanted to find a more direct way to connect with people and help them tap into a greater peace and harmony within the world around them. That’s when she discovered HYPNOSIS, LIFE COACHING and ENERGY HEALING. These three modalities became an even stronger passion in her life. She now helps to empower individuals from all walks of life.
Shadava takes great joy in telling her clients that life really does get better and better! She says, “The secret of life is using the power of the mind. Recognizing that every thought you think creates every emotion you feel." It’s mind-blowing to believe that you can create your own reality and then watch it happen. "Watching my client’s lives change into what they want is the most amazing feeling.”
