Science now knows that our brain can re-wire itself, sometimes quite extensively, throughout our lives. This gets great press involved in such wonders as people who have brain injuries who relearn skills such as language, writing, and walking. But did you know that it's the same process involved in learning or unlearning any behavior? If you create a new habit in your life, you form new neural pathways. If you extinguish a habit, your brain rewires the old pathways, and creates new ones to support the new behavior.Join Cindy in a hypnotic exploration of three distinct ways to engage process to accelerate the changes in behavior that you desire. Come to this session with an idea in mind of a new behavior that you want to create in your life. (Not a habit you want to get rid of, but a new behavior that you want to do, or do more of.)Note: the second half of this program is hypnotic in nature and should not be listened to while driving or operating machinery, or while performing any task which requires your full consciousness.Find Cindy hanging out at:https://www.MinnesotaHypnosis.comhttp://fearofpublicspeakingminnesota.comhttps://HypnosisFirst.com

In this podcast I explore one of my favorite topics to cover with clients – the power of the Vagus Nerve, what it is and what it does, and how you may be unintentionally reducing its ability to calm your heart and mind.In today's podcast we will learn:How your Vagus nerve connects your brain with your heart, gut, and all your internal organs and serves as “the captain” of your parasympathetic nervous system-which is your body's natural relax, rebuild, and repair response team.How proper functioning of your Vagus nerve keeps chronic inflammation in check, putting the brakes on all major diseases and regulates your heart beat, maximizing heart rate variability which is a major marker for heart health.A simple exercise that will both immediately trigger the Vagus Nerve to calm your body and mind, and which will actually “tone up” your Vagus Nerve over time to help keep you calmer, naturally.

Here's a hypnosis session to help you begin to accept yourself, just as you are, and to accept the world around you, for what it is. So much struggle that people feel comes from trying to change things that you don't have control of. As the saying goes, "change what you can change, and accept what you cannot change." This is not about condoning things that are hurtful and wrong to yourself and others, but learning to accept yourself and your life as fundamentally whole and good; to appreciate what is beautiful in and around you.
