Everybody seems to kind of agree that your thoughts and emotions – most of them unconscious – derived from long-forgotten experiences, indoctrination and behavioral conditioning are a powerful force that can aid or degenerate your health.
By saying that, I want to make one thing clear: I am not a medical doctor and I don’t offer any medical advice. If you have a medical condition you should consult your health provider for help and advice.
Your Unconscious Mind is running your life. You may think that you run your life consciously, but I beg to differ. Probably about 90 percent of your daily activity runs unconsciously, from how you get out of bed, what you eat, how you drive your car, what clothes you wear every day, what have you.
It is one of the themes of our NLP Master Practitioner Training especially in the Time Line Therapy® section which is 5 days long, that emotions are trapped in the body, much like a black bag of energy blocking the normal neural information pathways. Those of your who already took our trainings will remember our metaphor with the black bag of Negative Emotions trapped in the body.
The Negative Emotions can become lodged just about anywhere in your body, where they can then cause disruptions. The information which was supposed to travel in a certain direction can go elsewhere or not go anywhere at all – in other words be blocked.
It’s interesting to note that certain emotions are known to be associated with heart related diseases, depression and sadness, and with lowering of the immune system function. Trapped and dissociated emotions of which you may not even be aware of consciously can lead to pain in certain regions of your body. Medical doctors are well aware that prolonged stress is one major factor that can produce significant negative alterations at this underlying energetic level, leading to so many health related issues that I would take pages to even enumerate. This is why NLP but especially Time Line Therapy® is a unique tool easy to use to remove all these Negative Emotions and influence positively your health although our traditional science cannot give an explanation for why. The expression that someone “died from a broken heart” may not be so far away from the truth.
The short video below is a short description of how Time Line Therapy® works and why is it so different from other techniques utilizing the Time Line.
It is then very easy to see why finding the root cause (to use a Time Line Therapy® term) which precipitated the onset of a certain disease will assist you not only to understand how it all started but also how from that time on conflicting activity at the energetic and of course mostly unconscious level brought your health where it is today. The release of those emotions off the old memories allow the body to release the blocked energy and your Unconscious Mind can start the process of regeneration and healing – which is what Time Line Therapy® does.
According to an article on Dr. Mercola’s website,
“The American Medical Association (AMA) states 80 percent of all health problems are stress related, and even the conservative Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that 85 percent of all diseases appear to have an emotional element.”
Although we disagree with the method proposed by Dr. Mercola (EFT is not releasing the emotions but producing just a kinesthetic pattern interrupt – which means you cannot run the emotion any longer however the emotions still remain trapped in the body) I agree with the premise of the article. Negative Emotions do influence our heath.
As I wrote in my previous articles – you can read them on our blog here – your Conscious Mind is the part of you that’s rational, logical and abstract in thinking. It does not have emotions. It can become conscious of emotions but these stem from the Unconscious Mind which produces them. I am surprised that just now MD’s “discover” what we’ve been teaching for 30 years. Your Unconscious Mind can be defined as the intelligence of your body. I will quote here a paragraph from the NLP Coaching Trainer’s Training manual where we bring forth as a scientific evidence the work of Chartered occupational psychologist, Prof. Hodgkinson of the Centre for Organizational Strategy, Learning and Change at Leeds University Business School, (source Science Daily of March, 6, 2008).
“Humans clearly need both conscious and non-conscious thought processes, but it’s likely that neither is intrinsically ‘better’ than the other,”
Unfortunately many people are conditioned to not pay attention to what their bodies are telling them or to reach too quickly for a pill as an instant “cure”.
One thing is clear – your emotional makeup on a daily basis must be acknowledged. Negative Emotions must be released if you are to maintain a strong and vibrant body. We’re looking forward to teach you all about that.
Until next time, be well.
