Depression

/in , , , /by

Depression, can it  can be passed on genetically? Blair Justus, Ph.D., stated in his book, “Who Gets Sick” (How Beliefs, Moods and Thought Affect Your Health), that depression can be passed on genetically.  Now, many people would automatically conclude that there is no way to deal with depression, other than medication.  While this may be true in some cases, there may be a different solution.  As always the debate of “nature” versus “nurture” comes into question.

Lynn  McTaggart, in her book, “The Bond”, cites examples of scientists affecting the genetic makeup of experimental animals.  She references the research done by Jirtle and Waterland’s mouse study that showed changes in genes passed on to their offspring.  They state, “Genes can no longer be considered the only driving force of nature if an outside influence can completely derail the programming”, pg 35.

In his book, “The Psychic Roots Of Disease” (psychic here meaning “of the mind”), Bjorn Eybl, explains that depression is linked to thoughts of what we want as opposed to what we have, to the degree that we feel imbalanced and many times, stuck.  

It is sometimes difficult to see that we have control over our lives, especially if we are going though a period of depression.  If we simply want our lives to be different of some level, it wouldn’t be a problem if we worked for the change.  The problem exists in the beliefs we have as to whether or not we can achieve the transformation and at times, what do we need to do and how do we do it.

Working together to discover when and why you get depressed allows us to eliminate those negative emotions that are stuck in our bodies.  Those emotions may be about ourselves, others or situations in our lives. Through processes using NET and OEFT, we can eliminate these stuck emotions and lessen or eliminate those depressive thoughts.

Pattern

For those of you who might not know Pavlov, he was a scientist who did an experiment with a bell, a dog and food to create a pattern.  He started his experiment by ringing a bell in front of a dog and then fed the dog.  After a short time, he noticed that the dog would salivate when they heard the bell, in anticipation of being fed, this created a pattern.

In a later experiment, he rang the bell but did not feed the dog.  Soon, the dog stopped salivating at the sound of the bell because they knew they were not going to be fed, this was called extinction.

We do something similar in creating patterns in our lives.  We are taught a certain way to act or be by how we are raised and taught by others.  Some of these things are useful and will serve us through our lives.  Some however are negative and detrimental to our growth and mental, as well as physical. well-being.

We may think that because the original input was so long ago, that the pattern would extinguish itself, but what we don’t realize is that when similar things happen in our lives that remind us of the original input, we reinforce the pattern.

It is only by doing something to combat the negative pattern, are we able to make different decisions and thereby take more control of the things in our lives that we don’t like.  Patterns that work for us are never discussed because there are no negative emotions associated with it.  Negative emotions are simply ones that stuck in our bodies and need to be dealt with.

With techniques like NET and OEFT, we can eliminate the negative emotions that drive the patterns interfere with our happiness.  Positive new pattens are just a result of not having the negative patterns anymore.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

/in , , , /by

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a mood disorder subset in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year exhibit depressive symptoms at the same time each year, most commonly in winter.  Common symptoms include sleeping too much, having little to no energy, and overeating. The condition in the summer can include heightened anxiety.

Now the question is why does it happen at just certain times for certain people.  Some say that the problems in winter happen because of decrease sunlight (there are higher incidents in Alaska than Florida) but that may not be the only issue.  There may be a first cause which created the Seasonal Affective Disorder.

What if, something in your childhood led to the feelings of depression and you just carry it forward into your adult life.  Did problems exist at home that started around season change or the holidays?  Was there an addition to the family that caused you or your family distress?  While there may be numerous reasons as to why this issue could appear, what is important to remember is that, no matter how it started,  it becomes a pattern.  Once it seems as if it is real because it keeps repeating, year after year, and so we start to believe there is nothing we can do to transform it.  

By delving into the problem, we can find a first cause, if there is one, and work to lessen the symptoms, or eliminate the problem, if possible.  Using tools  like Neuro Emotional Technique, and Optimal Emotional Freedom Technique, we can explore the emotions involved with SAD and eliminate them from the issue.  Making decision starts you on a journey to a freer life.

 

 

 

Molecules of Emotion

/in , , , /by

In her book, “Molecules of Emotion”, Candace Pert, Ph.D., discusses the fact that emotions are actually physical substances that adhere to receptor cells in the organs.  

By establishing the bio-molecular basis for our emotions and explaining these new scientific developments in  a clear and accessible way, Pert empowers us to understand ourselves, our feeling, and the connection between our minds and bodies (body-minds) in ways we could never possibly have imagined before.

Since the molecules of emotion that are embedded tend to be of the type that we would consider negative, by releasing these emotions from the organs, it means that the way we live our lives can change.  Instead of being caught in the pattern created by those embedded emotions, when faced with a similar situation, we can now make a different choice, if we want.  We are still in control of who we are.

What does that mean to us? The fact the emotions are substances that are attached to organs, when we use different processes like Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) and Optimal Emotional Freedom Technique (OEFT), the attachments can be broken and those patterns can be interfered with.

One example cited by the NET protocol is that anger and resentment are associated with the liver and gall bladder.  If over the years, you tend to get angry frequently, you are probably damaging the liver and gall bladder and they also feed back the pattern when you are faced with a situation where you have to make a decision and the fall back position for you is anger.  You might just be living the pattern over and over again and not really choosing the best or healthiest course of action.

There is no intent to eliminate emotions from your life, only to allow them to move on when no longer needed.

The Psychic Roots Of Disease

/in , , /by

In his book “ The Psychic Roots Of Disease”, Bjorn Eybl, uses the word psychic in the title.  The use of the word “psychic” is referring to the mind and how it creates the resulting emotional and physical manifestations in the body.  His research is based on the cases of Ryke Geerd Hammer, MD.

Believing that there is an emotional component (EC) to numerous disease processes he studied cases of Dr. Hammer and his research has resulted in identifying the EC that is associated with many processes so that it can be dealt with by reducing or eliminating the effect that the EC has on the problem and the patient can heal or heal faster, as is appropriate. 

In utilizing NET and OEFT,  the EC will be addressed and neutralized to facilitate that persons healing.  Now, this does not take the place of medical care but acts in conjunction with it so that the person can heal as quickly as possible. Using NET and OEFT, issues can be addressed and dealt with so that Subjective Units of Distress (SUDS) can be lessened.  SUDS is your description of how much this issue is affecting you.  As SUDS lower, more healing is allowed to take place.

ANXIETY

In the case of anxiety, his research indicates that it exists when a person is are afraid of the future, because they feel that they lack control of their life.

During this time of COVID-19, it is easy for some people to feel this way and consequently feel overwhelmed by the situation and lose sight of the fact that something can be done about the situation.  It is during sessions, that we can deal with your issues and lighten any load you may feel.  

 

NET Reduces Symptoms of Traumatic Stress in Cancer Survivors

/in , /by

The ONE Research Foundation is proud to announce the publication of “Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) Reduces Symptoms of Traumatic Stress in Cancer Survivors”. The study focuses on 23 cancer patients who had distressing cancer-related experiences that caused traumatic stress. Some received NET and others were waitlisted to a control. All patients received a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while listening to the story of their distressing cancer memory before and after NET.
