What is Essential Alchemy? Essential Alchemy is the synthesis of Essential Oils with Alchemical Hypnotherapy in a new, exciting, powerful, cutting-edge technology. The Chinese believe that odors are the gateway to contacting the spirit world, wherein lie the connections to healing our lives. Odors also help us access the subconscious mind and the memories and experiences stored there. Esssential oils amplify, strengthen, and anchor the techniques used in Alchemy, and dramatically increase the results I get with my clients. What is Alchemical Hypnotherapy? Hypnosis is a form of deep relaxation, and is the primary method used to contact the subconscious mind for healing. The subconscious mind controls our emotions, our self-esteem, our immune systems, and our bodies. It is the part of us that stores the memory of all of our experiences, and has unbelievable powers. Hypnotherapy practitioners use the hypnotic state to help clients achieve certain goals such as weight loss, smoking cessation, or enhanced athletic and vocational performance. Hypnotherapy is a much more rapid method for achieving these objectives than other forms of therapy. Alchemy has traditionally been associated with the transmutation of base metals into gold. The ancient alchemists were also interested in transforming the human soul from the "base metals" of human emotions and childhood traumas within the subconscious mind into the "gold" of self-realization. Alchemical Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic process designed to assist the client in working with their Inner Guides, or archetypes, to change their lives. Alchemical Hypnotherapy is a blend of traditional Shamanism and the ancient science of Alchemy as translated by Carl Jung, with techniques from many modern schools of Transpersonal Hypnotherapy and Psychology. These techniques include Gestalt, Regression Therapy, Emotional Clearing, Psychosynthesis, and Somatic Healing. The client is taken into a moderately deep, alert trance state, and the therapist uses guided imagery to assist the client in releasing negative issues. This is a very client-directed therapy; the goal is to have the client become their own therapist, and to be able to practice Alchemy on their own. Contrary to what stage hypnosis and movies would have us believe, a person in a hpynotic state cannot be programmed to do anything they would not normally do! My clients are in complete control of their sessions, and we have a very interactive process. They hear everything we discuss, and recall everything they need to from our sessions. Alchemical Hypnotherapy consists of the following processes:
Somatic Healing is a new technology for healing the physical body of chronic illness and the residual pain of accident and stress-related injuries, in conjunction with medical treatment. Somatic Healing includes:
Benefits of Somatic Healing include:
What is Aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is the ancient art of using essential oils for healing, and dates back to the earliest Egyptian and Chinese healing traditions. Today, Aromatherapy can be described as the skilled and controlled use of essential oils for physical, emotional, and spiritual health and well-being. Essential oils can also be used for cleaning and purifying the home and for perfumes. What are Essential Oils? Essential oils are the distilled aromatic essences of plants which contain healing properties. These essential, or whole, oils carry nutrients and oxygen to the plant, and thus can help oxygenate people who use them. Essential oils target the limbic system of the brain, which is the center of memory, emotion, and motivation. How do Essential Oils Work? When an odor is inhaled it impinges on the olfactory epithelium, which contains some 20 million nerve endings. The odor is transmuted into a nerve message, which is amplified by the olfactory bulb, and then passes along the olfactory tract and enters the limbic system. After passing through memory centers and relay stations, this message then produces chemical reactions such as the secretion of endorphins (pain killers), seratonin (a sedative), noradrenaline (which wakes one up), and enkephalins (which produce a euphoric effect). Essential oils also work through application to the skin by being absorbed directly into the bloodstream, and through ingestion, such as in teas. What Can They Do for You? Essential oils have been successfully used as adjunct therapy in the treatment of Addictions, Cancer, Depression, Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Spinal Curvatures, also for killing viruses and bacteria, and for burns, bruises, and cuts. A Body/Mind/Spirit Practice Includes: Rescuing the Magical child from the trauma, neglect, and emotional pain of the past; Providing the Inner Child with new, loving, Inner parents who will always be available for nurturing; Strategies for contacting, testing, and working with Inner Resources through trance, movement, and Shamanic practices; Contacting past-life memories to access creative abilities, resolve trauma, change karma, and alter contracts with significant others; Integration of sub-personalities (inner voices) to resolve conflicting desires and goals. I utilize Trance Movement, Psycho-drama, Emotional Release, Touch, Breathing, Color, Sound, Somatic Healing, and Aromatherapy to achieve integration and transformation at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. I also encourage my clients to develop healthy eating habits, to practice Alchemy on a daily basis, to do work that is satifying and nurturing, and to engage in fun, physical activity.
