Within each of us lies the inner child. Not all of us had happy and healthy childhoods. Many peoples early years were times of emotional and mental trauma. In some cases, this was physical and sexual trauma.

Traumas, big and small can affect us deeply and when left unhealed they can result in negative patterns of behaviour and emotion in later life.

When we begin connecting with and healing this fragile part of us, we can begin to evolve and transform.

In my clinic I see clients experience profound changes when we work with the inner child. Tears begin to flow for the first time in a long time and afterwards, people express how light they feel, as though a heavy weight has been lifted from them.

Here is an excercise that you can do on your own to begin the process of healing your inner child.

-Close your eyes and begin to imagine this part of you

-Notice what age this child is

-Notice how this part of you is feeling. Is this part of you happy, sad, alone or afraid?

-Imagine you could speak words of encouragement and love to this young part of yourself telling them that everything is going to be alright. Imagine becoming the parent the child needs.

-Take a few moments to do this and then come back into the room.

With repeated practice this short excercise can be the first step at healing this part.

Throughout life, sometimes people treat us in a way that causes us pain. It doesn't matter if the pain is intentional or unintentional it still leaves a mark on our emotions. Most people don't try to hurt others, usually the one that hurts is experiencing their own difficulties handling life.

When we get hurt we can get angry at the person that hurt us and angry at ourselves for allowing it to happen. We can begin imagining revenge scenarios and wanting the worst to happen to that individual. In reality this sort of thinking is toxic to the system. It doesn't move us forward in life to where we want to be. It keeps us stuck. Even if the person is long gone these feelings can still emotionally tether us to them.

One of the most healing and cathartic processes for releasing the past can be forgiveness. And yes, Love. Love and forgiveness allow you to rise above what happened and take back control of your life, and yourself. Forgiveness is not forgetting. We learn from every experience that we have. Through integrating what you learned from your experience with this person and situation you become better equipped to handle life in the future.

Furthermore forgiveness is not agreeing with what happened. It is not justifying the behaviour of the person. Instead it is saying, "I choose to let this go so I can move forward in life."

And lastly the person that benefits the most from forgiveness is not the person that hurt you, but rather yourself. It is only through the forgiveness of others can we truly release the past and move forward to a brighter future.

If you need help in learning to forgive others, I have recorded a hypnosis MP3 program entitled, Forgiveness-releasing the anger and resentment of the past. It is the same forgiveness process I use with clients.

Almost every client that comes into my clinic asks me the same question. "So why did you choose to become a hypnotherapist?"

Being a hypnotherapist certainly is a somewhat obscure and interesting choice for a profession.

10 years ago it I was hypnotized. It was a profound and life changing experience. I was able to heal my past issues and traumas and it transformed my point of view on life. After my sessions were completed, there was this thought in my mind. "This is what I want to do with my life" I wanted to share with others the profound change that can occur with this powerful modality.

And that is what I did. Everyday I work with people is truly a wonderful experience. To be allowed into anothers life to help guide them to make change is the most fulfilling career I could ever imagine.

And for that, I am truly grateful.

September has been a busy month in the clinic so far. And things are only getting busier.

I have been hard at work creating 4 new hypnotherapy audio programs which will be available this weekend.

Here is a list of the programs and there applications.

1. Healing the Inner Child-When we heal the part of us that is the inner child, by grieving the wounds that we suffered, we can change our behavior patterns and clear our emotional processes. We can release any old anger, shame, guilt, fear and pain from this place that resides within us. When we mend the emotional wounds from the past we move forward into a life of happiness and peace. In this program you will learn to rescue, nurture and most importantly, love this part of you. When you learn to own and honor the child that you were, you learn to love the person that you ARE.

2. Forgiveness-The Path Of Healing and Peace-When someone you care about hurts you, you can hold on to anger, resentment and thoughts of revenge. Only by embracing forgiveness can you heal and move forward. If you don't learn to forgive someone, it may be you who suffers the most. Forgiveness is the decision to let go of resentment and hurt.  Forgiveness can lead to feelings of understanding, empathy and compassion for the one who hurt you. In this program you will learn the forgiveness technique that will enable you to release and let go of old emotions and move forward into a life of peace.

3.Do It Today-Overcoming Procrastination-Tired of putting things off till tomorrow only to put them off till tomorrow? Does your "to do" list seem to get longer and longer and nothing on it seems to get done? This program will teach you simple, yet effective techniques for overcoming procrastination once and for all so you can get things done!

4.Chakra Balancing-Alignment Of Self-Are you feeling discombobulated? Off centred? Tired? By balancing your chakras you will connect with a quiet place that is deep within you where transformation and healing occur. Chakra is sanskrit meaning wheel of light. If you have taken yoga before you understand the chakras. Our bodies have 7 chakras or energy centres. When we balance these 7 energy centres things flow much easier within our lives. This program will teach you how to balance your chakras so you experience a renewal of energy.

Dr. Oz has promoted hypnosis on Oprah a few times now. Once for past life regression and once for weight loss. It is great that a Doctor in the media is showing the world just how powerful this tool can be. Dr. Oz says that hypnosis does work and can be an effective tool to help people lose weight and keep it off.

I have moved into the web 2.0 world of appointment setting. I found the best way to keep in contact with my clients is to have a tool available 24 hours a day where YOU can choose what time works best for your appointment. This gives you the convenience of setting an appointment with me whether or not my office is open. You'll find a appointment button on my websites homepage. Feel free to give it a try.

Negative thoughts can be like weeds in a garden. Weeds choke out the growth of flowers preventing them to flourish. When negative thoughts are present it affects our ability to have positive life experiences. Negative thinking can cause people to always see the worst side of a situation, cause one to lose hope, complain about life or oneself and limit new horizions and creativity.

An easy method of quelling negativity is to begin talking to yourself as you would a dear friend. It takes some practice at first but it gets easier the more that you do it. Become your own cheerleader. Tell yourself that you "can do it" and that "I can overcome this".

Instead of putting yourself down, start to lift yourself up. By rewriting and re-scripting negative self talk to positive self talk life can be much easier.
