Jade Goody Cancer News - Do you believe in the Mind-Body Connection?

I first contaced Jade Goody's agent on 28th January 2007 to ask if she would be interested in doing some Coaching around the Celebrity Big Brother fiasco which surrunded Jade and Shilpa.

I work as an NLP Trainer and Trainer of Time Line Therapy so have been working with people for the past 8 years in enhacing their communication skills and facing up to and resolving negative emotions and unhelpful patterns, beliefs and behaviours from the past.

My offer was declined but I remained curious about the longer term effects of the public backlash from an energetic and health point of view.

In health circles, it is commonly known that cancer tends to manifest 18-24 months after a significant emotional event or some kind of trauma if there is no proper resolution around the event(s). Given that I contacted Jade's agent exactly 19 months ago, this pattern seems to be holding true.

Cancer of the uterus and surrounding area is often related to self devaluation.  Given the harsh public backlash that erupted 19 months ago, I suspect that Jade wasn't feeling quite so great about herself.

What can you do to resolve your emotional stuff?

1. The first thing to do is pay attention to this issues which are still hanging around well beyond their 'sell by' date.  It's natural to be upset about an unpleasant event, but if you find that months later it is still metaphorically 'eating away' at you, resolve it.

2. Identify the root cause and limiting beliefs that support the problem.  What are is really going on?  What do you believe about yourself in relation to the problem?   What's the purpose in still holding onto the negative emotions?

3. Get what you need to learn from the event and make the necessary changes in your life, behaviour, mindset or approach to ensure that you don't just keep repeating the same patterns.

When I am working with clients we would typically use a mixture of NLP, Time Line Therapy, Hypnosis, Huna, DNA Theta Healing and EFT to resolve long term emotional issues.

Self forgiveness is also important, however, this can only truely come about when you have gained a sense of perspective and made the necessary changes.

I wish Jade a speedy recovery.

Geri Halliwell hears 'Voices'

Wow, Gerri was looking great in the media recently as she posed in her swimsuit for Hello Magazine.

As well as sharing her natural insecurities about wearing a bikini for the press for the first time after a 7 year cover up, she also spoke about the warring inner voices which would rise up and erode her confidence: "that voice is always there waiting to tell me, "You are not good enough, do better," but I'm more conscious of it. 'It used to be the loudest voice in my head but now I just tell it, "Shut up..."

If we are honest, there are times where the internal voice and inner dialogue seems to take hold. Often, it creeps up at the most inappropriate times, when you are feeling most vulnerable, and seems to take control.

People often describe it as being another 'part' of themselves or as though there are 2 opposing forces, one which supports you (usually the quieter and weaker of the 2), and the other that is determined to tell you just how much of a failure you are and erode your self confidence or make you doubt your decisons.

So what can you do to banish it??

From a Time Line Therapy point of view, a common intervention is to do a Parts Integration.  We would determine exactly why the voice is attempting to sabotage you, and integrate it with the positive, supportive, encouraging voice.

Coaching Tips

1. Identify where the voice is located (for those of you already practicing NLP do a Submodalities elicitation) and identify all of the key characteristics.
2. Identify the characteristics of the supportive or encouraging voice.
3. Start changing (or mapping across) the characteristics so that the supportive voice becomes the most dominant.

Also do some work to identify any limiting beliefs that fuel the negative voice.  Once you resolve those, the power behind the voice is easily diminished.  Things to look out for a beliefs such as:

• I'm not good enough
• I can't do it
• I'm not worthy
• People like me will never be able to do that

Shelving the inner voice.  Thanking it for it's opinion, and exploring it's purpose can also help you regain control.

Janet Jackson blames junk food lover for weight gain

Janet Jackson's long running battle of the bulge has reared it's ugly head again, this time blaming her music producer boyfriend for having too much junk food in the house.

Of course having access to and eating foods which offer little nutritional value has a part to play, wouldn't necessarily be the sole cause.  If it really did boil down to simply having access to food, we would be an entire Nation and World of heavies.

The root cause for constant weight gain and yo-yo dieting often runs deeper than access to a well stocked fridge.

When I am working with clients with long term issues around food, we would start by exploring key issues such as:

• What does eating get for them or allow them to do?
• How do they feel and what do they believe about themselves?
• What does food mean to them?
• When did they decide that food was the answer?
• What patterns have they noticed occuring?

Depriving oneself of food simply puts focus on the very thing that you are trying to avoid.  Anyone with children will know that as soon as you make something out of bounds, that which is denied becomes the often obsessive focus of attention.  The adult brain isn't much different, and the more you focus on 'not eating' or avoiding certain foods, the more strongly from and NLP point of view it becomes anchored in your mind.

In the life that Janet leads, there will always be an abundance of food available so it may be time to tackle the underlying issues so that food becomes somthing that she uses for nutrition but she can take it or leave it once her basic needs are met, and create a healthier relationship with food.
