Pod #567: Operative reality is reality to the subconscious mind – Healing Fundamentals (Part 5)

by

This week we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals series by looking at how the subconscious mind's understanding of the world influences every choice we make.

The subconscious mind is a valuable tool in helping us to navigate the world. It holds all our understanding about how the world works in the form of memories, patterns, stories, and beliefs.

This allows us to navigate the world without having to think constantly about our environment and everything we are experiencing. Problems arise, however, when one of the beliefs about ourselves or the world that is stored in the subconscious mind is wrong.

When this happens, we base our action on faulty information, which can only lead to problems.

In this week's podcast we explore how the subconscious impacts our choices in the moment AND how we can transform the inaccurate information from which it is working.

Pod #566: The negativity bias of the subconscious – Healing Fundamentals (Part 4)

by

This week we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals series with a lesson that is critical to understand if you want to clear self-sabotage and take more consistent action.

One of the best parts of our subconscious mind is that it is a learning machine. It takes in all of our experiences and uses them to decipher how the world works.

The type of lessons it is best at learning are around keeping us safe. The subconscious mind takes note of when something goes wrong and remembers it so that we can avoid it in the future.

The problem comes when it only remembers negative memories, or it gives too much weight to negative memories.

That is why we say the subconscious mind has a “negativity bias”; it is biased toward the negative.

This week in the podcast we examine the negativity bias and how you can use tapping to overcome it.

Pod #565: We are always making the best possible choice – Healing Fundamentals (Part 3)

by

This week we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals series with what I think is the most controversial fundamental of the whole series…at least at first glance.

One of the biggest complaints I hear from my clients is when they are berating themselves for all of the times they have made poor choices, even when “they should have known better!”

When this happens, they beat themselves up emotionally for being “so stupid” or “weak” or “thoughtless”.

The reality is we are always making the best possible choice. This is a healing fundamental (with two important caveats) and once understood, your personal transformation and healing will be easier, and longer lasting.

Listen or watch here to see how you can add this controversial idea to your healing practice.

Pod #564: Fear always wins! – Healing Fundamentals (Part 2)

by

This week we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals series, where we are covering the ideas and concepts that underlie every part of the healing and transformational process.

This week we are talking about fear.

Fear has an entire episode dedicated to it because it is the one emotion that is most likely to hold us back. Understanding the evolutionary reason behind fear and why it shows up in the moment makes it much easier to create transformation.

In this episode I teach you the hows and whys of fear, and two simple tapping tools you can use to clear it that will help you to take positive action towards your goals.

Pod #563: The Information of Emotion – Transformational Fundamentals (Part 1)

by

It can often feel like our negative emotions are the enemy and it makes sense why. When we experience negative emotions, we feel bad AND they also get in the way of us making better choices in the moment.

That is why when Gary Craig created his version of tapping, he called it “Emotional Freedom Techniques” because there is such a strong human desire to escape strong negative emotions.

For me, the process isn't just about escaping negative emotions, but also understanding them. Each of the negative emotions we feel is our internal guidance system trying to communicate a specific piece of information via the emotion.

An understanding of what information the emotion is trying to convey makes the journey to healing and transformation so much easier!

This week's podcast is the first in a new series on Healing Fundamentals that will explore the underpinnings of the transformational process. The information conveyed by our emotions is the first part of the series because I believe that it is the lynchpin in the wider healing process.

Here is how I think about what negative emotions are trying to say and, most importantly, how we can use that information to create transformation.

Pod #562: What goes wrong if I am successful? – Finding Root Causes (Part 4)

by

The fear of success is the single most difficult type of resistance to uncover.

I know it sounds strange to fear success, but it is a lot more common than you might think.

The subconscious mind may fear success because it is worried that we might have success and then lose it, or once we have it, it becomes hard to maintain, or we will have to keep working really hard (if not harder) to maintain that success, to name just a few scenarios.

Because it doesn't seem logical or obvious to fear success, it can be hard to uncover those limiting beliefs.

This week in the podcast I share some simple questions you can ask yourself (or your clients) to uncover fears around being successful when working on taking positive action towards your goals.
