Hypnosis
is a natural state of selective, focused attention. This unique
state of consciousness opens the door to countless possibilities
for healing, self-exploration and change. Hypnosis has been recognized
for thousands of years and used for many purposes in cultures around
the world.
Ericksonian
Hypnosis uses indirect suggestions, which are much harder to
resist because they are often not even recognised as suggestions
by the conscious mind, since they usually disguise themselves as
stories, traditional tales, or metaphors. Reflecting on the stroy
becomes the post-hypnotic suggestion.
Neuro-Linguistic
Programming explores the relationships between how we think
(neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our patterns of behavior
and emotion (programming). One oversimplification is "changing
the way you think, speak, and react" to a given set of circumstances.
As with Ericksonian hypnosis, trance is not necessary.
Qi
Gong is literally "energy work" in Chinese. There
are many approaches to Qi Gong (also spelled Chi Kung), including
physical exercise, manipulation of the body, and meditative practices.
Some forms can be administered remotely.
Usui
Reiki Ryoho is a specific Japanese form of energy work for personal
elightenment and healing, in which hands are placed just off the
body or lightly touching the body, as in laying on of hands.
Reiki can also be done remotely, long-distance. Dr.
Mikao Usui, a Japanese spiritual healer, introduced Reiki to the
world in 1922. It can be considered a Japanese form of Qi Gong or
shamanic healing. Recently, a branch of the Native American Church
has researched the parallels betwen Japanese and North American
shamanic healing and has introduced Nehm Usui Reiki Ryoho.
Life
Coaching helps people identify and achieve personal goals. Life
coaches assist clients by using a variety of tools and techniques,
drawing from many disciplines. Some specialize in business situations,
and prefer the term business coach. Whichever, the coach
helps the client recognize goals, set targets, and tailors a specific
and unique plan for each situation.
