Last weekend I attended the NLP IASH (Institute for Advanced Studies in Health) Conference where two of the world leaders in NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming), Kris and Tim Hallbom, shared their latest work on healing, called a “template for healing”. Their presentation was powerful and moving, and I want to share it with you. There’s a lot, so I have split it up into three parts. Part 1 was posted on September 16th. Here’s part 2:
- For the NLP people out there, they suggested you make a list of all the NLP processes that can be used to heal so you remember to use them if the need arises. When we are ill, we tend to forget the resources we have for healing. Some of the best are hypnotic processes with an “as if” frame and creating a compelling future for when you are healed.
- Praying, blessing or visualizing healing for others not only helps them, it helps you and turns the focus away from identification with your particular health challenge.
- Have a dialog with any of the organs affected by your condition and ask them how they are doing. Negotiate with your body parts and get a sense of inner support.
- Hold a positive space and don’t go to where the worst case scenario lives in your head.
- A core question to keep asking yourself is “What is my best possible outcome?’ as it directs your attention in a powerful and positive way.
- A compelling future should be created and used in hypnosis. Include the following elements:
– physically
– socially
– mentally
– emotions/states of mind
– spiritually
In Part 3, I’ll talk about life style changes, give some other resources, and talk about the recovery phase if you’ve had some sort of surgical intervention.
Comments and questions are welcomed. I’ll do my best to answer them and even ask the experts if need be.
