5 ways that hypnosis can help improve your mind

Jolene Shields — Wed, 21 Feb 2018 01:22:18 +0000

Every day I receive Google updates from all around the world on the use of hypnosis in different countries and for different treatments. Recently I received an update that I wanted to share with you. While the U.S. seems ruled by Big Pharma, outside of the U.S. alternative and complementary medicine is part of many cultures healing protocol. I spend at least 15 minutes with every new client or phone call, explaining how hypnosis is not what the media or entertainment shows would have you believe it is. Hypnosis is quite simply a focused state of awareness and deep relaxation, which allows us to bypass the critical, cynical conscious brain and give new information to the subconscious brain for change in the mind and body. I love the Rule of the Mind that states that “New Programming in the subconscious is always more powerful and wins out over past programming when then two are in conflict.” So with continued hypnotic reinforcement of the new idea, change happens easily and quickly. Simply put, when you use hypnosis to change old outdated patterns and wounds, they readily heal because the subconscious mind is always ready and willing for healing and change.

Please take a moment and enjoy these 5 ways that hypnosis can help improve your mind:

Pain Management with Hypnotherapy

Jolene Shields — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 19:20:31 +0000

You may have read my history with hypnotherapy on this website. I was in a severe care accident in 1985 and suffered nerve damage to my head and neck (Occipital Neuralgia) and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. This caused a severe migraine like headache for 3 years along with limited use of my right arm. I was on numerous pain medications, muscle relaxants and anti inflammatory medications for all of those 3 years. I was also in physical therapy 3 times per week during that time. I was miserable, my sleep was effected, my mothering was effected, my ability to work was effected as well. I was only 27 years old and I could not imagine living the rest of my life in this amount of pain. At one of my monthly Neurologist visits, my very compassionate doctor suggested that I look into a new program that was being offered at LDS Hospital called the Pain Clinic. He said it was based on the Mind-Body Pain Clinic work at Harvard University. I was miserable and looking for answers so I went to the Pain Clinics information meeting and learned that they were using alternative methods to help patients with chronic pain to get back into control of their lives and reduce their pain. I was hopeful for the first time in years. I went into the clinic on February 22, 1988 (you remember the day you get well) and my life changed forever. During that first session of hypnosis, I was out of pain!!! Now that pain relief only lasted a few hours but we were told that with continued use of the hypnosis process we would be able to increase the endorphin and dopamine levels in brains and manage our pain. I practiced diligently for the next 6 months and finally found complete pain relief. Now while the daily pain is gone, I still have the same condition, my body just manages the condition with the relaxation and control of the hypnosis process. Unfortunately the Pain Clinic and many Pain Clinics around the country closed due to lack of insurance funding, but I was allowed to bring the process into my private practice and teach patients the use of this wonderful skill that is in fact, one of the first pain management techniques that has been used since the sleep temples of ancient Egypt. In deepest gratitude for my wellbeing and ability to get back into my life, I was later asked to join the staff at LDS Hospital Pain Clinic where I worked for 12 years prior to starting my own hypnotherapy practice.

Below is a link to a radio interview from the BBC that speaks eloquently to the use of hypnosis for pain relief. Enjoy and call today for an appointment to help manage your pain at 801-942-6175.

The High Board/ another Big Leap

Jolene Shields — Fri, 06 May 2016 19:46:21 +0000

Clear back in 1990, I found this beautiful quote by Anais Nin and it truly was the inspiration for the second half of my life. I made huge changes all sparked by hypnotherapy. Sometimes I was so scared I could hardly breathe but thanks to the Gay and Kathyn Hendricks and the support and love of so many friends and mentors it made it through. I am about to take my next big leap off the high board and I just keep reminding myself that “Fear is energy without the breath” so I breathe. Watch for my new revised website coming up soon. !! Wish me luck, love and light. Jolene

Recently the work of Joseph Campbell has been coming up in my life once again. I am currently in my own version of bliss working with Gay and Kathyn Hendricks Conscious Entrepreneur program. Gay and Kathyn changed my life 18 years ago and it is in their honor that each day I do my best to grow in my healing abilities for each of you. Enjoy this glimpse into Campbell’s work.
“If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be”

Jungian archetypes

I have mentioned the fascinating world of discovering your personal archetypes before. Here is a fun quiz to help you undercover more about your personality type and how you function in the world and in relationship. Archetypes can be a very direct way of helping you to not only learn more about yourself but help move you in a direction for self improvement. For further information read the works of Dr. Carl Jung and open the door of your mind to greater healing and understanding.

Happy Veterans Day Dad

Jolene Shields — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 19:33:07 +0000

Happy Veterans Day Dad!!!
Thank you for the gift of being my father. Today I am remembering fondly having the gift of traveling to many of the Military Schools you attended in the summer and learning the history America along the way. I remember having dinners at Officer clubs when other soldiers would politely ask Dad if they could ask me to dance. And how proud I was of dad being saluted by so many other soldiers. I am sure you to are thinking of dad today and the wonderful man he was. I will always remember the touch of my father’s hand proudly wearing his military Command and General Staff ring.
Thank you for the respect and love for our Country and Military that you instilled in me.
