Phobias, NLP, hypnosis, aromatherapy

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm mostly a lurker on this list, but a few things caught my attention....

 

First, a bit about me...I'm an herbalist with formal herbal training in TCM,

western herbalism and Cherokee medicine. My training included diagnostic

techniques, plant ID, herbal materia medica, and much more...

 

I also have studied hypnosis, NLP, reflexology, introductory massage, energy

balancing and other holistic health-oriented practices. I am " certified " in

hypnosis. I am not certified in herbalism...Certificates in ANYTHING like NLP,

hypnosis, aromatherapy or herbalism are not worth the paper they're printed on.

ANYONE can issue a certificate.

 

Instead, what is important is to determine the level of proficiency...if there

is a certificate, where is it from? What qualifications does that school/person

have to issue a certificate? IMO, a certificate only sort of guarantees you

actually studied somewhere...Heck, if I wanted to, I could print out nice

certificates on my laser or ink jet printer.

 

That said, NLP and hypnosis can be useful tools for dealing with phobias. I've

combined those in my practice, along with aromatherapy and energy balancing. One

can use Neurolinguistic programming techniques, like anchoring in good feelings,

during a hypnosis session. One can use that in combination with an essential

oil that a person would associate with being calm and centered. For one person,

that might mean using rosemary e.o. For another, grapefruit diffused into the

air might

provide the right association.

 

Well, I've rambled enough for now....

Dear lurker

Yes, well ...... for that matter, why should

doctors, lawyers, physicists etc undergo strenuous courses and then take all

those silly exams. They could just read a few books and then have a mess in

all those areas. I'm sure anyone could do a bit of brain surgery - they just

need a little intuition, some trust in themselves, plus the right karma.

Universities are only for the spiritually challenged - yeh.

Don't sell out sister - you keep messin'
