Mind and body

In this section we discuss the very important inter-relationship between the mind and the body, how one affects the other. This is a vast topic and can only be covered briefly on this website.

Virtually every thought you have affects your body on a physical level. Some scientists are now considering that the heart organ is the 'brains brain'! Research is finding out that nerve plexi in the heart tissue responds before the brain to many situations. The Heart Math Institute in California has been doing some fascinating research in this field. How often do you get a feeling about something before you think about it? This is you experiencing your heart responding before the brain. This then send signals to the brain and the autonomic nervous system causing us to relax or tense up in response. 

Osteopathy

Osteopathic treatment is a hands on treatment to the body tissues. However just as massage can be relaxing so osteopathy can have a profound benefit to the state on both the mind and body. Osteopathy brings about a relaxing and rejuvenating influence on the body and nervous system.

NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming & Life-coaching

NLP or neuro-linguistic programming is a psychological approach which developed in the 1970's. Since that time it has gained favour all over the world and is now used in counselling, life coaching and in business marketing.

Tim Marris trained as an NLP practitioner in 2005 and gained his Master Practitioner certification in 2012. 

NLP & life coaching helps you take your life in the direction you desire. 

- Do you feel that your life is not where you want it to be?
- Do you feel that you want your life to 'move on'?
- Have you just ended a phase of your life but don't know where next to turn, or how to arrive where you want to be?
- Do you feel that you lack confidence or self esteem at work or in your personal life?
- Do you feel that there is 'more inside you' that you wish you could express and use in your life?

If 'yes', then NLP & Life Coaching will help you profoundly.

Tim uses his NLP training to find out 'computer bugs' which are preventing the conscious part of the mind and our unconscious part of the mind form fully cooperating and coordinating their activity.

Let's give an example (the character is fictitious).

John is in his mid 30's and looking to improve his chances of promotion. He has always felt a low level of self esteem and a lack of self confidence. His reasons for his lack of success in gaining promotion in the past may have been his lack of skill set, or he has the skills but the way he presents himself and expresses his CV do not come across well due to his shyness and insecurities.

Perhaps his parents always 'put him down' as a child:

"You'll never manage that!"

"Why do you think you can do it, when you failed in the past?"

Perhaps his lack of ability making new friends does not help. Whatever the possible causes (NLP can help easily discover these), he will have been 'programmed' in his thinking (at an unconscious level) to think and feel his chances of success are poor. Because this is within his thinking at an unconscious level John is not aware of it and pushes himself into situations where he feels uncomfortable - because the unconscious mind is at conflict with his conscious desire for a promotion. At one level his conscious (day to day) mind is saying "I want this new job, I have all the skills required" yet his unconscious mind is silently screaming "I'm not good enough" or "I can't do that" - the messages he received when younger and now no longer appropriate.

There are a significant number of simple NLP techniques which do not require 'digging up the past' which allow the unnecessary and inappropriate old messages to be released from the mind. When this happens the unconscious and conscious thinking become 'lined up' and the mind gains great power and direction.

Just as with osteopathy when the mind changes and releases its stress, NLP has the effect of releasing body tensions. Consider the mind and body like two ends of a piece of string. Pull one end and the other must move too.

Ordinary light is highly scattered light. Laser light is where all the light waves are in synchrony, in-phase - all lined up. This is how the mind becomes after an NLP life coaching session. Laser light being far more powerful than white light, can be used in extraordinary ways: It can travel without distortion huge distances (they use it to measure the distance to the moon). It can create 3D holograms, cut metal, be used in surgery for accurate tissue cutting and no tissue bleeding etc. etc.

In the same way when you have a 'laser like mind' - when the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind are working in complete harmony, you can use it in your daily life to achieve your desires and goals.

If you would like to get more form your life or feel that you have more potential within you that is waiting to come out, give Tim a call to arrange an NLP/ Life-coaching session. Tim arranges these sessions in Ashford or via FaceTime/Zoom, so that they can be at times more suitable to your convenience (you will need internet access).
