Be careful of making wrong assumptions
What is the most common reason for making mistakes? Ignorance? Inexperience? Misguidance? Miscommunication? NO! It’s only Wrong Assumptions which lead us to make mistakes!
Respect for the Environment
Before environmental science evolved, before climate change studies became global topics, before devastations reminded us of the frailty of human existence, we already heard a simple call: respect the environment.
Respect for your own body
Oftentimes, we take for granted that our body is living being that serves as a temple of our soul. We, humans, are embodied spirits, yet we treat our bodies like machines. Health and wellness begin with true respect for the human body – ours and that of others.
Trauma and Hypnotherapy
Can hypnotherapy help in the treatment of trauma? Yes, as years of practice have proven. But to claim it is the best treatment for trauma, there is no empirical study to prove it.
Healing as a New Year Goal
To lose weight, to pay off debt, to get promoted... there are some of the common New Year goals, but it will be better if everyone aims to get healed – since health and wellness are the very foundation of all the other resolutions.
Achieving Interior Freedom Using EFT
Humans are created to be free. That is why freedom is one of our ultimate desires. But while slavery is already outlawed, a lot of us are still enslaved by our own fears, by our own bad habits, by our own pains and wounds. The best way to achieve interior freedom is to use a process called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT.
Healing Wounds in Life
Scarred people are beautiful. That is true. But scars are symbols of healing. There are people who are so wounded that their wounds (whether real or imagined) are still as painful as the day the wounding happened. But there is healing for every one. And there are ways to help those who seek healing.
Hypnosis can Help You Overcome old Habits
The New Year is always an opportunity to start anew. But instead of making resolutions, why not make new and better habits. But to do that, you have to overcome those old habits that are unhealthy and unproductive. To do that requires looking at the root causes of these habits using hypnosis.
Goal Setting-It is all in the mind
Hypnosis helps you build and achieve your goals. Here are four key areas where hypnosis can achieve up to a 93% success rate in a matter of six weeks with lasting results.
Hypnosis and Low Fertility in Men
In ancient cultures, as well as now, male fertility is a cause of power. A man with many children was – and is – seen as a powerful man in some countries around the world.
Hypnosis and Low Fertility in Women
While women in other countries are fighting for their right to contraceptive, thousands of women in North America and Europe are looking for treatments so that they can bear a child. Hypnosis is one of the best ways to address this concern.
How EFT can help release old blockages
Our body is a repository of memories. In our organs, bones and muscles are memories of wonderful experiences which feed our sense of well-being and give us positive outlook in life. But in some parts of negative experiences – memories which can be traced back to our childhood which block the flow of life resulting to an imbalance.
Reiki Healing vs Conventional Medicine
Wholistic medicine is all about combining best of both worlds – as one is the perfect complement of the other. There are people who go for extreme – especially when it comes to Reiki Healing – and decide to stop going for conventional medicine especially if they are discontented with their doctors. However, I still believe that Reiki supplements rather than competes with conventional medicine.
Hypnosis and Side Effects of Medicines
One of the travails of modern medicine is that most of the drugs have side effects. But the good news is that hypnosis has been proven effective to deal with and possibly even overcome side-effects from medicine.
Staying Positive
One of the marks of an empowered person is his or her capacity to remain positive amidst difficult times. And such an attitude is very much needed these days.
A news item in the US said that today, there is a deep need for the people of this great country to experience a resurgence of optimism. There are reasons to be depressed – the economy, the politics, the environment – but there are always reasons to hope. That is where health and wellness come in. Those who are mentally strong can see the dark and trying times – do not deny them – but they find a way of seeing the light.

Counseling for the Healing of Memories of Tragedy
As the whole world reminisces the tragic September 11 attack, this blog joins the remembrance by focusing on healing tragic memories.
Effect of Mental Depression on the Body
Depression is always seen as a mental disorder. Its effect is more obvious as behavioral one. But is there a physical effect of the depression? What is the effect of mental depression on the body?
EFT and Depression
There is no universal cure for depression; but is there a better way that is more organic and natural? How about EFT?
Failure and Depression
Yes we all know that depression is caused by many factors; but is it possible that one of them is simply a negative sense of self-judgment?
Fear of Failure
Fear of failure is one of the major reasons why most people do not want to try. This is a paralyzing fear that stops people from achieving their goals. But it is not a hopeless case, there are step you can do to overcome this irrational fear.
Is There a Healthy Way to Deal With Failure?
The online edition of Fox News Daily stated something that I thought was disturbing even for me who is not an American citizen. It said, “The most regrettable result of Barack Obama’s presidency is that he has changed America from a nation obsessed about success to one obsessed about failure.”
Pros and Cons of Counseling Online
Almost two decades ago, there was a movie called Twister which starred Helen Hunt. Basically it was about tornadoes and the lives of the tornado chasers and weather scientists. But one of the sources of humor was the character of the protagonist’s fiancée who was a therapist.
Healing via the Telephone: Does it Work?
For me, this is one of the many advantages of modern living: the fact that you can readily seek psychological treatment and spiritual healing through the phone with no hassles of going to the therapist office for a face to face counseling or to healer’s clinic for a session.
EFT and Psychosomatic Illnesses: The Simple Fact
I think the main reason why some people frown at Emotional Freedom Therapy is because it is simple and drug free. It will threaten the whole drug industry. Other’s question the validity of this therapy because they think that anything that is fast and simple is fraud. Well, that is not true.
How Emotional Stresses Becomes Physical Illnesses
Anybody who is in the healing profession now agrees that there is direct connection between our emotional health and our physical health. It has been established for a long time that our body affects our emotions, but it was only fairly recently when it was accepted that our emotions will cause some physical illnesses.
Hypnosis and Smoking
There are people who wake up one morning, decide to stop smoking, and proceed to do so without any hassle. This is not luck, this is psychology. Those who do have difficulty can trace their struggle to a combination of physical and psychological factors.
Exploring the Roots of Your Smoking
Do you wonder why some people find it very easy to stop smoking while others are struggling very hard? It is because smoking is a very personal habit – its roots and causes are dependent on a person’s genes, physical health, emotional wellness, and realities in life.
Write Your Vision for Weight Loss
We all know the power of having a clear vision, right? I mean, just take it literally. If you have a 20/20 eyesight, you see things clearly. This is the same clarity that serves as our motivation for important change plans such as losing weight.
Let Go of Those Emotional Patterns behind Your Weight
Among other things, weight, especially being overweight, can be a mental and emotional issue. Perhaps this is something that a lot of people tend to ignore or overlook as they focus on the physical aspect, oftentimes with minimal or no result.
How to control temper through deep breathing
Tempers always make it to the headlines. They also cause headaches and heartaches. Oftentimes, marriages are broken, people get hurt, jobs are sacrificed and lives are endangered simply because people cannot control their tempers.
An Invitation to Spiritual Healing
This is an invitation to a unique treatment known as spiritual healing. In my experience as a spiritual healer, I find it important that my clients feel the openness in their hearts to receive healing energies that bring joy, peace, contentment, even forgiveness and mercy.
Trauma and EFT
EFT works best with trauma therapy – although it also works also with other pains and illnesses, especially those with emotional content.
Counseling Parents of Gay Children
Gay people are usually encouraged to come out to their families as a sign of honesty, freedom, and responsibility. But not all parents are prepared for this coming out. They tend to react with anger, shame, guilt, disappointment, or shock.
Healing the Wounds of Discrimination
The wounds of discrimination can be psychological, emotional and physical. Psychology damage is usually self-doubt, loss of self-esteem, and even lack of personal identity. Emotional wounds are the pains, shame, guilt and anger that the person accumulates through years of being discriminated.
Why is crying important for wellness?
In an article, "The Miracle of Tears”, author Jerry Bergman said, "Tears are just one of many miracles which work so well that we take them for granted every day." And I agree. In my experience as a counselor, coach and healer, I find that crying is one of the best natural means to clear the path to recovery.
The Difference Between Counseling and Consolation
No one should go through grief alone. And that is the reason why any human civilization always includes a time for vigils and memorial services. It is not for the dead, for the dead does not require humans to pay respect.
Healing Begins With Being Considerate
Creating a healthy community requires the cooperation of everyone – not just those who live a healthy life. It is a responsibility of every citizen to make sure that the human habitat is healthy for children and adults.
In consideration of your body
While being considerate of others is a mark of an adult and empowered person, oftentimes we are not considerate about our own self, especially about our own body. More often, we tell other people to take a rest, or file a vacation leave, or eat properly, but don’t extend the same gentle consideration to ourselves.
The Human Body’s Natural Healing Capacity
Our body is a complex, amazing, and mysterious creation of God. Despite modern science and futuristic medicine, there is still so much to discover about our physical self. However, common sense and ancient wisdom have taught us something that the science of modern medicine always forgets – our body has a natural capacity to heal itself.
Sex Abuse and EFT
A lot of things in the news bothered me lately – calamities, political unrests, environmental destructions; but what bothered me the most is the series of news items that are related to sex abuse. All of the other “bad news” these days are really because of our abusive behaviors.
We Must Stop Child Abuse Now
The report said that, “Children who are physically abused tend to have higher rates of “functional somatic syndromes” such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome when they grow up, says a study published in the Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment and Trauma.
World hunger and your health and wellness
Here is the number that should alarm everyone: 925 million. That is the number of people who are considered malnourished and/or undernourished. Considering that there are 7 billion people in the world, roughly this figure means that 1 out of 7 is hungry.
What Do We Really Mean by Healing
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines healing as: to make sound or whole; to restore to health; to cause (an undesirable condition) to be overcome; to restore to original purity or integrity, and to return to a sound state.
Addiction: What is it really?
Abuse and addictions are different but related terms. Abuse is any use that results to negative consequences. Alcohol abuse, for example, is drinking too much that it results to health problems, marital crisis or problem at work.
The Importance of Personal Responsibility
The news about the admission of Arnold Schwarzenegger that he has a child with a former staff member which led to his divorce from Maria Shriver reminds me of something that is very important in our process towards growth and maturity: personal responsibility.
The Benefits of EFT
People always inquire about results, especially if it concerns their body and their health. And that is why every time I introduce a new therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique, clients will always ask: what are the benefits? Well, I can summarize the benefits in three words: painless, powerful and pocket-friendly.
EFT and Freedom
People like me in the field of healing, counseling, and recovery always find it exciting when a new trend comes. We attend workshops, read reports and experiment with these approaches. However, every once in a while, we encounter an idea, an approach, a method that really feels right.
Prayers and Healing
Some people find it effective to combine medical treatment, wellness practices, and prayers in their healing journey. While I do not prescribe that to my clients, I also find it logical and meaningful that some of them CHOOSE to include prayers in their healing path.
Closure and Healing
In my own practice, I noticed that no one is prepared to deal with death. No one. The pain, the grief, the anguish, and the anger that happen after the death of a loved one is oftentimes difficult to deal with. It is no wonder that depression is one of the major consequences of loss and grief.
Appreciating the meaning of Labor Day
May 1 is celebrated as Labor Day or May Day in many parts of the globe including my home country Denmark. In the US and here in Canada, Labor Day falls in September.
Aspirations Start with Self-Acceptance
Like the rest of the estimated two billion people all over the world, I watched with fascination the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. I cannot help but reflect on the relevance of the royal family in the life of the whole humanity today.
Life Is Like a Cup of Coffee
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Move Away from Depression
Maybe because of the climate, the economy, the political turmoil, the natural disasters, or the fact that our lives have become sedentary and isolated., but here is a growing epidemic of depression today.
Self-acceptance is a major step towards empowerment
People today are talking about the coming royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. While it is a celebration of marriage and royalty, and a welcome respite from the onslaught of bad news, I can’t help but be reminded of the life of William’s celebrated mother Princess Diana.
An Easter Message of Peace
As the whole humanity joins the Christian world in the celebration of Easter, I thought it might be appropriate to move away from my usual blog content and write an Easter message for my family, friends, and clients. Whatever our religion is, it is always the desire of the soul to experience Peace.
Overcoming a bad self-image
There is a word that bothers me the most: labels. These are emotionally-loaded words or phrases that, at one point or another, were assigned to us by the important people in our lives, and they stuck like glue to our identity.
Hypnosis and Sexual Confusion
Sexual confusion, at least in the context of this blog entry, does not refer to people who have made a choice to live a gay lifestyle. It refers to a mental condition of some people who think of themselves as being of the opposite sex, i.e. male who think of themselves as females and vice versa.
The Benefits of Owning Your Feelings
Emotional freedom, as scientists now know, is one of the paths to health and wellness. "When it comes to our health," says Seligman, "there are essentially four things under our control: the decision not to smoke, a commitment to exercise, the quality of our diet, and our level of optimism.
Counseling for Financial Stresses
Fact 1: Financial stresses can ruin a marriage.
Fact 2: Financial stresses can affect your mental health.
Fact 3: Financial stresses can damage your self-confidence.
Being Healthy With Reiki
Health and wellness is all about carefully managing our energies. When positive energies freely flow in our body, it is like a clean river where crystal clear water flows freely. Life blooms abundantly and supports the other life forms around it. If we are living a healthy life, we can take care of the people we love and become productive in our work.
Being earth-friendly can start small
A butterfly beating its wings on the banks of the Amazon can touch off a tornado in Texas. This might be used to explain the chaos theory but for me this illustrates our interconnectedness as human beings. Our everyday action, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem will eventually affect the state of our environment and the future of our children.
Journal Writing as an Instrument for Healing
Gary Craig, who developed EFT, once said that everyone is a healer. Even patients and clients, when they participate in their healing process, become healers. Everyone has a life force that is the healing power within the self, and everyone is fountain of wisdom. But how can we access these powers within?
Benefits of Regression
As the whole humanity joins the Christian world in the celebration of Easter, I thought it might be appropriate to move away from my usual blog content and write an Easter message for my family, friends, and clients. Whatever our religion is, it is always the desire of the soul to experience Peace.
