NLP NeuroShift

We have all heard that subconscious patterns are the root of our limitations and that if we can change those patterns our quality of life improves. Without a doubt that is true. Yet, thousands of highly skilled students of growth still find themselves trapped in the cycle of two steps forward one step back.nnOur brain comprises two hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum and the brain stem housing our primitive brain. The left hemisphere (LH) and the right hemisphere (RH) both contain sensory, motor and association areas, except for certain functions the two hemispheres are asymmetrical.nnOur thoughts create patterns of electrical energy that cause neurotransmitters, hormones, and chemicals to be released in the body and our bodies respond. We experience this physical translation of our thoughts to our bodies as emotions. When the anxiety response is activated the flow of neurological information and the flow of blood throughout the body are disrupted.nnUnder stress, energy for the brain areas of higher function are blocked, communication between the left and right hemispheres breaks down and conscious sensory input through eyes and ears diminish. At this point the survival state is activated and everything is hard to accomplish because communication between hemispheres is slowed or stopped.nnThe autonomic nervous system (ANS) can be divided into the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems. When the parasympathetic nervous system is active we are relaxed, our heart rate is calm and steady, and our breathing is slow and deep. On the other hand, when the sympathetic nervous system is active our body prepares for an emergency, and the “fight or flight” response is in effect, our heartbeat is fast and strong, and our breathing is shallow and rapid. Anxiety response symptoms can be present. Blood flow patterns, which are an indication of neural activity, are dynamic. They change depending on our physiological and psychological conditions. In a sympathetic, anxious state, our blood flow and neural activity are increased to the large skeletal muscles and the heart. Consequently, in sympathetic overdrive, when we’re experiencing panic and fear, and thinking clearly becomes extremely difficult. The primitive brain says: “You don’t need to think, you need to run!”nnThere are tens of millions of differing neural connections to the brain. Each has a task. All these tasks merge to create a complete cognitive mechanism. Since all lobes of the brain are interconnected, none stands alone and each compensates for the others. When we are functioning at our best, the brain and body functions well together, sending and receiving messages while keeping the entire organism in a state well connected for being present at whatever is taking place in our lives. In other words we are in Flow.nnA groundbreaking new model for change... NEUROSHIFT is a leap forward in letting go of old ineffective emotional patterns and bringing about an emotional balance, producing choice and change in your life. In an extraordinary process that takes only a few simple steps the brain hemispheres are recalibrated to release a flow of energy for new potential in whatever context it is applied.nnDrawing from the fields of Energy Psychology, Hemisphere Rebalancing, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Psycho-geography and others disciplines, NeuroShift utilizes natural physiological patterns along with the body’s energy field and neurological processing systems for re-patterning and recoding how experience is stored. It has the effect of releasing unconscious beliefs and corresponding unpleasant emotions, transforming them permanently, directed by conscious intention.nnNeuroShift is a gentle, powerful means for expanding and amplifying life experience by reversing the restrictive, cumulative effect of negative judgments and emotional imbalance. It is a simple technique that enables the quick release of old patterns and deep fears that holding back or limit, allowing an accelerated personal growth through new directions in life.nnNeuroShift activates the choice factors all growth systems strive for, but which often seems just beyond your reach. The process itself is unique as it acts to inhibit the flight/fight area of the brain and activate a balance or shift to a neutral emotional state from which choice is available to re-code unpleasant memories with the wisdom of life experience. It is easy to learn and taught in a one-day experiential workshop format, offering an opportunity to identify experiences to restructure to create a more harmonious flow to life.nn“I’m feeling really great. The process helped me to clear blocks I was not even aware of. Now I have the energy to do what I wanted to do.... I now have a calm stillness. When I (shifted) I felt a flow with all life. I don’t have to push and pull but just BE.” Judy S., Bostonnn“Now, all those negative feelings and beliefs seem silly because I know none of it was really true. I’m feeling calm and quiet and wonderful.” Vicki L., Dallas, TXnn“ I feel like I really became my ‘true’ self, centered and feeling like I belong.” Judy V.nnReprinted with permission from EarthStar Magazine, December, 2006
