practiced one kick
10,000 times.” – Bruce Lee

During my tenure as managing editor of Black Belt magazine, I
became very familiar with this refrain/admonition: “You fight the way you
train.” It didn’t matter that you have practiced your martial art for thirty
years and have a tenth-degree black belt in that style. If your training and
competitive expertise are in point-sparring versus contact fighting, chances
are you will still be in trouble when it comes to defending yourself against someone
who jumps you in an alley. The problem isn’t bad technique; you just defaulted
to your subconscious “known,” your comfort zone. Over the years, your repeated
training to pull your punches to not
make actual contact with an opponent ultimately over-rode the natural instinct
to connect a devastating punch or kick with the attacker’s body to defend
yourself.
I keep this philosophy in mind when I help my hypnotherapy clients achieve
their self-improvement goals by creating a new subconscious
mental script to facilitate their desired behavior change. By the time they
contact me for hypnotherapy, chances are they have been practicing that
unwanted action or belief system for many years. No matter how many times they
tell themselves they absolutely, positively do
not want to smoke one more cigarette or eat another piece of sugary/fried
food, this message is coming from the Logic/Will-Power/Decision-Making and
Reasoning faculties based in the Conscious Mind. No matter how much you want to
get rid of that negative habit, the Subconscious Mind will have a different
perspective.
All those memories and positive associations (pleasure) with doing the
“unwanted” behavior are stored in the Subconscious Mind, and the Critical
Area of the mind, which is positioned in both the Conscious and
Subconscious areas—is a great gate-keeper to prevent change in this status quo.
For the Subconscious Mind, change—even desired change—equals pain, and it will fight very hard to
prevent change from occurring. To our frustration, this usually means
succumbing to temptation to smoke just one more cigarette or polish off your
child’s left-over fries, and we go back to practicing those actions we want to
stop once and for all.
The great thing about hypnosis is its effectiveness to overhaul or even
delete those mental scripts that keep us in that loop of practicing unwanted
habits. When you are in hypnosis, I can talk directly to your subconscious mind and, using your motivations,
reasons and goals for the behavior change, rewrite that negative script to
facilitate desired behavior changes. Once these new mental scripts are in your
Subconscious Mind, resistance to making these changes melts away and are
replaced by consistent repetition of new, healthy actions and belief systems to
reinforce and achieve your self-improvement goals. With hypnosis, we can create
a new “default” behavior and connect that metaphoric punch with the desired
target: achieving your self-improvement goal!

Hi, there. I am Tom Neil and I want to narrate how life had been for my younger brother living with schizophrenia and how he had been permanently able to resist this debilitating disease via a naturopathic, herbal method.
ReplyDeleteMaicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was brought to the emergency room by the campus police of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. A professor had called and reported that he had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his tuition money, and refused to leave.
Although he had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. My sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from my room and ask my family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.
My father and sister told the staff that Maicon's great-grandmother had had a serious illness and had lived for 30 years in a state hospital, which they believed was a mental hospital. Our mother left the family when Maicon was very young. She has been out of touch with us, and they thought she might have been treated for mental health problems.
Maicon agreed to sign himself into the psychiatric unit for treatment. The whole family except I had agreed to have Maicon transferred to a mental asylum. I knew inwardly there was still some plausible means by which my kid brother could overcome this condition. I knew botanical means of treatment will be more favorable than any other type of treatment, and as such, I had taken a keen interest in the research of naturopathic alternative measures suitable for the treatment of schizophrenia. I had pleaded for some little patience from the family in the delay of the transfer, I was looking forward to proving a point to the entire family, of a positive botanical remedy for this condition.
It was during my ceaseless search on the internet I had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially schizophrenia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that my brother had been able to improve his condition for better.
Before the naturopathic remedy - Maicon's story had reflected a common case, in which a high-functioning young adult goes through a major decline in day-to-day skills. Although family and friends may feel this is a loss of the person they knew, the illness can be treated and a good outcome is possible.
My brother Maicon is just like many other patients out there suffering from this disease. Although he was able to overcome this condition via a naturopathic herbal remedy administered by this African herbal physician and saved completely thus, rekindling the lost joy which had been experienced by the family members.
I wish to use this opportunity to reach across to anyone who may happen to be diagnosed with this disastrous condition to spread the hope of an everlasting herbal remedy that is capable of imposing a permanent end to this disease.
