Hypnotherapy Potential

New amino acid L theanine and hypnosis
Greetings from Doc Judie
In my practice, I do more than just use hypnosis, which is a delivery system. It has to be connected to a therapeutic message. So I use a combination of counseling, hypnosis to deliver the therapy message, and nutritional information on healing the body.  I love amino acid therapy as aminos are natural proteins that make up most of the body mass. Through stress, addictions, depression, and anxiety the body and brain lose many of the vital aminos necessary for normal functions.  Sometimes, a little boost is needed to "teach the mind how to cope and learn to  make dopamine and serotonin, and amino acids are a great aid.  The best news is that because the amino acids are natural to the body, nothing artificial is added to the system.  So when I do an intake on a new client, I look at the mind and body from all angles to see what is needed. Sometimes it is really "all in the head" and sometimes "it is in the body," usually it is both, so why just treat from one angle when all parts need to be addressed. 
I am excited about an amino acid called L-Theanine which has been around since China first learned about the calming properties in tea.  L-Theanine is a free form amino acid found in green tea and various mushrooms. It has been shown to increase tranquilizing Alpha waves without inducing drowsiness. Clinical trials show that L-Theanine diminishing symptoms of PMS improving learning performance

heightening mental acuity

promoting concentration

supporting the immune system

lowering blood pressure increasing formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA

increasing brain dopamine levels among other positive benefits with no known downside.

helping in the treatment of cancer 

         I recently suggested the use of L-Theanine to a client who was suffering from anxiety attacks and General Anxiety Disorder.  Her blood pressure was up, it was hard for her to drive to my office, and as she told her story, she became agitated and cried throughout the session. By the second session, one week on L-Theanine, her blood pressure was done, she was calm, and was responsive to the hypnotherapy session I will be selling it to my on-line clients very soon.  It is under the name "Tea-Zen "meditation in a bottle" 240 capsules for $45.00.  Let me know if you are interested.  Look on the side bar for a complete list of amino products which should be up by the end of the week.

I

I garden, therefore I am

Greetings from Doc Judie

Memorial Day weekend is the start of the garden season in my hometown of Genoa, Nevada. I am located at the base of the Sierra Foothills, where the old timers warn never to plant until after Memorial Day!

It is then a race to the most beautiful garden center, the Greenhouse Nursery. The nursery is located in Carson City, where the following friendly advise is given." Plant corn, potatoes, asparagus & summer bulbs early this month. Plant around the 1st of June if you have the correct microclimate or are just adventurous. The last frost for many years has been Memorial Day weekend, so be prepared to cover the garden with cloth for greater protection. Plastic does almost nothing."

I am a believer,the Greenhouse Nursery has replaced the Dali Lami, Bible Study, and any and all social gatherings for awhile.  I am on a mission, I have purpose, I have dirt and I have seeds!  Anyone who knows me will know where to find me in the month of June-in the garden.

Now I know I am sounding over the top with enthusiasm, but there is sound reasoning behind what I do.  The benefits of gardening have physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. I drop 10 pounds and  two sizes every summer!  In the winter, I turn into such a wimp, I huff and puff when I have to carry more than two grocery bags into the house from the car. However, something snaps when I am gardening, I only see the task at hand and do whatever it takes.  I can dig in the dirt all day, sling 50 pounds of fertilizer over my shoulder and stretch out a bale of fence wire.

Now if you are not a believer in hypnosis, try gardening to put you into an altered state! I lose time, I get lost in the beautifl forms of the flowers and plants I am in aromatherapy heaven when planting basil, cilantro and lavender.  The scents mix with the overgrown lilac bushes and I feel intoxicated!

In the garden, it is not safe for cell phones.  I don't need music.  I don't want chatter.  I enjoy the wind chimes which softly hit notes in the breeze.  I love to feel rich fertile soil and break it up with my fingers.  I feel energized with the warm sun on my back and I tingle when the cold irrigation water from the ditch rushes over my garden clogs.  It is almost sensual. (O.K. not quite there are some things that potatoes and rutabagas just can't do!).

In the garden, my problems do not make it past the weathered garden gate. The bills, the appointments, the phone calls are on the other side.  I will get to them in a little while. When I am in the garden, I am finding my balance, adjusting my attitude and resetting my biostat. 

I often state that I am not a "healer," but a facilitator to help people when they are stuck or feeling sad or overwhelmed.   Nature on the other hand is a true healer.  Try gardening, hiking, or sailing on a lake.Go outside where humans really belong. Try your hand in the garden.  Discover flowers, home grown vegetables, and fruit bearing trees.  Breathe fresh air and like my little seeds, you too will start to bloom.

Here's to your mental and physical health.

Endorphin Rush and Hypnosis

Greetings from Doc Judie

Spring is finally here, and it is nature's way of saying "Lets Party!"  Daffodils and Tulips are pushing up through the thick mat of winter leaves, blue birds are chasing each other around my yard, and runners are passing by the front of my house with a glazed smile and wave as they fly by. I get right into the spirit when I pick up a rake or turn the earth over.  I always get carried away, and work too long and too hard the first day out, but "I just can't stop myself!" I guess I am experiencing an endorphin rush.  The term has been adopted to popular speech to refer to the feelings of exhilaration brought on by pain, danger, or other forms of stress supposedly due to the influence of endorphins.  My runners who just passed by my house call this condition a runners high.

 Why does it feel so good to push through the pain of heavy exercise, sore backs, nicked fingers, and gasping for breathe while lifting weights?  Studies found that runner's high, or endorphin rush might be caused by the release of epinephrine, serotonin, dopamine and more "feel good chemicals."

It has also been reported that acupuncture can tap into trigger points and release endorphins, mothers who give birth or breast feed their babies report the same sensation, and of course, through deep relaxation in a hypnotic trance, pain relief can be experienced as endorphins are released in this extreme form of relaxation.

I do not understand the entire chemical response of the body, but it seems that we are build with a motivation center that encourages us to keep on moving even when it hurts because it will feel good in the long run.  Without that wonderful endorphin rush, I would give up on the garden with the first ache and back pain, my runners would have quit after a painful half an hour, and how would I ever get anyone to relax and forget about their pain in my hypnotherapy clinic!

So do what you love, push through the pain and enjoy that wonderful endorphin rush that will take over and take you to the end with a smile on your face.
