Everyday Bliss For Women In Leadership

Here’s something my buddy Andy would describe as "toad-ally FOOOO-GLY" …..but ver-r-r-r-y interesting. Ladies and gentlemen, the horrifying pre-gumline graft recession:  Bleah!! Blouwoeooeoeoeoeoeoh! Geeyakkata-ick!

It’s a terrible thing, truly awful to have happen. The phrase "becoming long in the tooth" suddenly takes on a new and awful meaning. A meaning to the tune of nearly $4,000 that insurance pays only a quarter of. Yeee-ikes!

How do I know so much about this subject?  Yesterday I had a gumline restoration to six lower molar teeth. After several years of watching my lower gumline go south, I bit the bullet, sucked it up and scheduled myself for a gumline graft with the best periodontal surgeon in Silicon Valley. 

Dr. R. tried Emdogain on the upper molars a few years ago and it was only partially effective. Emdogain causes tissue to grow, but unfortunately it didn’t grow enough and has partially recessed again. Now you may think I might look like a snaggled toothed country cousin, but these defects largely didn’t show when I smiled. Yep, my smile pretty much looks like the picture over on the left of my blog here.

GOT DENTAL OR OTHER MINOR SURGERY COMING UP?   

I am running a PRIVATE STUDY on the methods I use to consistently eliminate pain and anxiety. If you are interested in reducing or eliminating PRE-OP MINOR SURGERY ANXIETY and POST-OP DENTAL OR OTHER MINOR SURGERY PAIN, do consider enrolling in the study. We’ll be using my patented Energy Coaching Pain Relief Process to experience NO pre-surgery anxiety and elimination or great reduction of post-operative pain.

You’ll get: Three sessions of energy coaching, customized energy exercises, a healing audio made just for you, and followup, for the price of a single session with me.

These techniques work, that’s all I can say. I’m proof positive! Won’t you join me in being pain-free?

Here’s the glam shot, of the after-work. No, these pics aren’t mine, I borrowed them from the good doctor at the website here. But do you see how nicely the fooo-gly exposed root got covered up? Mind you, this must be six months to a year after surgery, it takes awhile for the graft and the surrounding area to match up color wise. But all in all, not bad, eh?

Now, let’s talk about how I remained cool, calm and had no pain during or after the procedure…

STAY TUNED FOR PART II In The "Dental Adventures" Saga…

If you’re a hypnotherapist NLP
(Neurolinguistic Programming) practitioner or Energy Coach, you know this one. But for others who may not have these kinds of tools in their toolbox, if you work with clients in a helpng relationship, this technique is a must-have. Try the below "no-fail coaching tip" and have
fun with it!

Whatever is happening in session, or whatever
direction the client is taking, it is always a good idea to get them in
touch with their body. The body is the one thing in life that will always
stay with the client and can be utilized as a powerful aid in your coaching or therapy sessions. How they’re feeling about what’s going on is a large
part of the key towards breaking through blockages and having all the
resources they will ever need at their beck and call.

I have the client
identify where a desired resource feeling - "Where does Courage (or insert whatever you’re coaching on) live in your
body?" Get the client really into it, have them "amp up" the feeling as
much as possible. When that feeling is at its peak, have the client put
a hand over that space and warm it up with the heat of their hand. If
this isn’t physically possible, mentally imagining the hand in the
appropriate place will also do the trick.

This is called "resource anchoring" in hypnotherapy, NLP and Energy Coaching. Resource anchoring allows you
to elicit a specific, chosen, emotional state upon demand. It connects
the client with extensive resources they may not realize they have, get
real with their true intents, and can act as a "Go button" to take
action in a given situation. They can "trigger" this anchor in the
session or at any time in the future that they desire by touching the
part of the body where the resource is felt, and has been anchored in
session. Remembering that "Courage lives here, Courage is mine" and
feeling the feeling of Courage opening and embracing them fully as they
touch their hand to their heart, would be an example of self-triggering
a resource anchor.

You don’t even need to be in person to do this
with your clients - it works superbly over the phone as you are having
the client do all the somatic work (touching where the resource is felt
in their body) by themselves. And once an anchor is set, it’s there for
good unless the client or coach feels the need to collapse the anchor.

More about anchoring is available on the internet, a good resource for
which is here: http://www.nlp-hypnosis.ws/nlp_anchoring.htm

Enjoy!

In my previous post on the “Piece of
Cake Process�, we were setting three anchors of resourceful states, stacking
those anchors and taking them into a present state where you are feeling
non-resourceful. I’ve been asked by those who don’t know hypnosis or
neurolinguistic programming, “how do I set an anchor? and what exactly IS an
anchor?�

An anchor, is a place in
the body/mind that holds a powerful memory of an emotion, time and place where
you were uniquely resourceful and could do anything, or unresourceful and
unable to do things for yourself. When you first rode a bike and fell off, it
may have set a NEGATIVE anchor in the part of the body that hit the ground.
When you first knew you could do something all by yourself, such as make your
bed on your own, it set a POSITIVE anchor, perhaps in the arms and hands that
drew the sheets and blankets up so nice and tidy.

Both Positive and Negative
anchors have their uses…

Robert Dilts in this week’s NLP World Health training program reminded us that the basics equation of NLP is very simple:

Present State + Added Resources -> Desired State

Tim Hallbom and Suzi Smith introduced a lovely NLP technique in the program that wasn’t in the manual and perfectly illustrates this process. They called it "A Piece of Cake" because it was changing a negative bodily symptom very simply, and features the use of submodality elicitation and mapping-over.

Briefly: Use floor anchors. Starting with a physical symptom step on anchor, fully describe it, stepping out of that place on the floor step into another and fully describe an incident of self-healing (a bruise that healed, a scrape or sprain etc.) and do this three times. Note your physiology in all states. Anchor each positive resource physiology in the resource state and stack these anchors for each of three self-healing incidents. Take these stacked anchors back to the Symptom anchor and release. Note what changes.

The below diagram is for my NLP family and training buddies but if you’re interested, I will be featuring this process in a forthcoming class…stay tuned for details! Click on the diagram for a larger, readable copy:

It has been a wonderful week here at the NLP World Health training - I am now a Certified Master  Health Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming through the NLP and Coaching Institute of California. And I have to say, better people you cannot find in the world. Where has this "family of the heart" been all my life? I wish I’d started taking NLP trainings back in the early 80’s when they were first introduced to my psychotherapy graduate cohort!

At the graduation ceremony capping fifteen days of intense training, everyone formed a very long double line and from Suzi Smith as "birth coach" at the "womb end", we all processed down this very supportive hugging, touching, uplifting double line through to Tim and Kris Hallbom at the end of the line being "born anew" with our NLP family chanting "We love and suppport you on your journey!" and other messages of love and appreciation At the end, our certificates came with a warm hug from Tim and special blessing and warm hug from Kris.

WOW. With stuff like this who needs drugs, fantasy games or trips into outer space? This rite of passage ritual produced the desired effect through the liminal, with great new resources gathered and assured, support network aplenty and into a new life armed with so much more than we thought we had coming in on day one. Every single NLP training has been like this for all of us. Being an orphan, practically speaking, I’ve taken the challenge of attracting family of the heart and my goodness, what an amazing, dear, precious and wonderful crew has gathered. It’s nice to know we will be there for each other for life, in a healthy, uplifting and mutually supportive way. What a true blessing.

Got dysfunction in your family? Sovereign remedy: NLP training. It may not change your blood relations, but it will change you. And afford you the opportunity to connect with those who will support you in healthy and creative ways.

NLP is really great energy work, transforming often in a fraction of the time that even the energy therapies such as EFT, BSFF, TAT and ZPoint. And sometimes not as fast, but bringing in far more resources to bear on the problem at hand. Using NLP with any one of the above therapies more sharply points and fine-tunes them to work so very much better  - this is what we do in The Certified Energy Coach Program. Go take a look at that here.

Namasté…
