All I Meet is Me: A Hypnotherapist’s Perception On The Human Experience
Written by: Paige Pezderic
So, you've read all the articles, took a couple of yoga classes, redecorated your bedroom, and bought some crystals and tarot cards. They look so pleasing on your bedroom shelf, and as you sip a cup of herbal tea you feel like you might actually have your shit together.
Right..?
The beginning of any meaningful spiritual journey, for us all, starts with the best of intentions. That feeling of wanting to become more pure, peaceful, powerful, and light. We want to be magicians, make potions, cast spells, see auras, connect with our energetic forces and help heal others. Things we can feel are already apart of us; practices that will return us to ourselves.
The artist in all of us is staring at an enormous block of marble, attempting to chip away at the pieces that no longer belong to us.
However, here’s the catch:
While the essence of our souls may be a blank slate, the bodies we incarnate with are most definitely not. Much like a supercomputer, we are constantly being downloaded with imprints that create the holographic reality which is our personal movie plot. Guess who the main character is? It's YOU!
How did all of these imprints get there?
These imprints are created by any experience that connects with emotion.
They are the generational trauma we inherited from the womb of our stoic mother and her mother and her mother:
They are the grief over your own death in a past life.
They are your parents fighting in front of you as an infant.
They are how your 7th-grade math teacher made you feel.
They are the diaper commercial you just watched on TV.
They are emotional stamps on your subconscious mind that rules 95% of your brain and body.
Woah, right..?
If it seems like a lot to have on your shoulders, that’s because it is.
That's why we store it in the appropriate parts of our mind and bodies, because if we didn't, then how could we possibly function with ALL of that information at the forefront of our consciousness?
When an imprint is stored internally it does not just lie dormant and silent. Oh no. It has a voice that can range from the softest whisper to the loudest roar. The voices sound like the pain in our lower backs, the diagnosis of illnesses such as cancer, difficulty getting aroused after being sexually assaulted by someone you thought you could trust, and the relationship patterns we keep repeating over and over and over to the point we would just rather be alone.
It's a memory, a blueprint, a code, an equation that will continue to repeat itself until it is altered.
So What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is essentially a guided meditation. Hypnotherapy is using the relaxed state of mind in a direct and focused way. The purpose is to reach the source of the initial incident the imprint took place in, then process, release it and redefine it. This is how it is altered and this is how we break the unbreakable cycles.
The difficulty in finding the perfect routine, the most righteous guru, the most powerful pill, or the newest superfood that will solve your problems is nothing compared to the integration of the said solution into your everyday life in a consistent way, which proves to be the biggest challenge of all, at least for me.
Hypnotherapy does not require consistency or routine, as it is automatically synced to your autonomic nervous system and your subconscious.
My Job as Your Hypnotherapist
This is the part of my blog where I scream from the top of my lungs that: I DO NOT HAVE MY SHIT ENTIRELY TOGETHER. I am not a perfect person who has every answer to every problem, or will I pretend to be. I am having a human experience just like everyone else.
But I will vow to do this:
I will assure that you're comfortable and know what to expect in a session with me.
I will meet you the whole way with the vulnerability and understanding that I would need to open up to someone.
I will never judge what lies within your heart.
I will hold heart-centered space through your emotional processing.
I will never let you leave feeling discouraged.
I will go on this journey with you and guide you through a process the leads to forgiveness and real healing.
I feel such a profound reverence and honor towards each one of my clients, you are all a very real part of me and my human experience. Thank you for sharing yourselves with me, and thank you to all reading this considering it. You’re wanted, needed, invited, and encouraged to reach out to me in any way, with any questions you may have about myself or my Hypnotherapy practice.
You're all delightful, full of unique magic, and human magnificence.
Come play with me!
