What we learnt from Nelson's hypnosis course

Dear Nelson and lovely classmates,

The short hypnosis coursecame to an end but the beautiful, heartfelt memory will be alive in our mind for a long time.

Chris sharing makes me feel how happier we are comparing with many who are suffering in beds or worrying for food and shelters...

Charlie's sharing shows how appreciation, love and kindness can create value and synergy;
Ryan's dedication to find his goal impressed me so much and his sentimental voice will stay in our mind for a long time to come.

Venus's beautiful pyramid in the sand is an enlightenment to me to open our heart and to be grateful for what we have had. Only when our heart is pure enough and open enough, we can fill more things, learn more things and become more rich spiritually and physically. Our potential will be excelled better.

Eugene's sharing shows if we look at the positive side and look forward, negative thoughts will be minimized and confidence will be regained.

Dear all,
An article to share:
It expresses what I want to say and enlightened by Nelson's class: To take the responsibility of ourselves. To live our life at cause and live at this moment fully. The key to be happy is to live at cause.

What is stamina - Thoughts from Nelson's sharing



What is stamina?

"Stamina is the plural form of stamen. Figuratively, it means the power of endurance.

In life, stamina come in two kinds: those arising from casting pearls before ignoramus and those arising from repeated defeat. Stamina imply an ability to pick oneself up when one is down, to dust oneself off and to try and try again."


Our instructor of a hypnosis course, Nelson shared his experience of being a trainer of self-development courses by telling his reflection on what dreams means to him:

Everyone has dreams. Everyone dreams at night. But not everyone carries on his dreams during daytime. Those who dares to share their dreams with others during daytime need passions. And those who really practice their dreams day and night need preservation, (as things are not as fun and easy as expected in reality, I believe). But one's passion, interest and belief will support them to continue. Those are the source of stamina and preservation, they ultimately factor to success.

Knowledge and wisdom


To distinguish between wisdom and knowledge -

"Knowledge is often regarded as acquisition of facts, information and skills through experience and education"

Knowledge is not knowledge without sharing.

"Wisdom implies an understanding of the "cause and effect" of events or decisions taken and  reflection on events and response." 

One can be knowledgeable but not wise.

Cancer prevention update from Johns Hopkins

Cancer prevention update from Johns Hopkins
Cancer Update from John Hopkins

YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update from John Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow , gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9 When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened Soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become purified and leads to more toxic build up.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Florescence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily and deep breathing, helps to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ

1. No plastic containers in micro.

2. No water bottles in freezer.

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Ed ward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Johns Hopkins 的最新癌症研究報告

I can't wait to forward to you:

In Chinese:
Johns Hopkins 的最新癌症研究報告

每一個人身上都帶有癌細胞,癌細胞是無法在一般檢查時被檢查出來的,除非癌細胞擴增至幾十億個數量。所以每當病患治療到一個階段後,醫生會告訴病患其體內已無癌細胞時,醫生所指的是其體內癌細胞數量已縮小到儀器無法偵測出來的數量。

在每個人的生命期裡,癌細胞都會出現6至10次。當人體免疫系統強時,癌細胞是會被摧滅的,同時免疫系統強是能抑制腫瘤形成及擴增。當人被發現有癌症時,它意謂這個病患是有大量營養缺乏;這可能是由於基因、環境、食物及生活方式等因素造成的。如何克服營養缺乏,那就是要改變飲食及多進用增強免疫系統之食物。

化療不只能毒殺快速增長之癌細胞,亦會一併消滅骨髓及胃腸道內之健康細胞,同時造成器官衰竭;如:肝臟、腎臟、心臟及肺臟等等。放射治療在摧毀癌細胞時,亦會灼傷健康細胞、組織及器官。

初期化療及放射線治療是很容易將腫瘤面積縮小到某一程度,然再延長上述療法並不能造成腫瘤完全消除。化療及放射線治療會讓體內存有大量毒素而危及或摧毀免疫系統,因而導致病患易於感染及併發症。

化療及放射線治療會造成病患癌細胞突變及產生抗體而變得難以摧毀,而手術則易使癌細胞擴散至其它部位。

一個有效的擊潰癌細胞之方式是不供給癌細胞繁殖所需之食物,即是餓死癌細胞。那麼,癌細胞以何為食物呢?

糖是癌的食物,若不食糖即刪除癌細胞很重要的一項食物供給。代糖如Nutra sweet, Equal spoonful 等均是由Aspartame組合而成的,是有害的。較好之天然代糖是Manuka糖漿或Molasses糖蜜,但只能取用少許。食鹽為使顏色變白而有化學添加物,較合適的選擇是海鹽。

牛奶會使人體產生黏液,尤其是在胃腸道內,而黏液正是癌症之食物。因而阻絕牛奶及採用不甜之豆漿作替代,癌症就會在無食物情況下萎縮的。

癌細胞是在酸性環境中繁衍的,以肉為基本飲食的體質是酸性的,因而食用魚類及少量雞肉是較食用牛、豬為合適的。肉品均含有家畜抗生素、生長賀爾蒙及寄生蟲等,而這些均是對人體的有害物質,尤其是對癌症病患。

以80%新鮮蔬菜及青菜汁之飲食;含全穀類、種子、堅果及少量的水果是有益於體質轉變為鹼性的,剩餘20%可進食煮熟的豆類。新鮮蔬菜汁可提供活性酵素,活性酵素極易在15分鐘內被細胞組織吸收進而滋養加強健康細胞,為取得活性酵素強壯健康細胞應多飲用新鮮果菜汁(多樣蔬菜含豆芽),同時每天進食生青菜(未煮過之)兩至三次,按活性酵素在40度C時會被摧毀。

飲料必須避免飲用咖啡、茶、巧克力因上述飲料含咖啡因,綠茶是較佳之選擇,因為其有抗癌特性。而平常應飲用淨化水或過濾水,然應避免飲用有毒的或重金屬的水。蒸餾水是酸性的不要喝。

肉類的蛋白質不易消化的,因為肉類的蛋白質需要大量消化酵素消化,未消化的肉質會留殘在腸內淨化,而引發有毒物質形成。

癌細胞壁有很硬之蛋白質包裹,因而節制食用肉類可讓多出之酵素去攻擊癌細胞壁之蛋白質,而體內殺手細胞則有空間摧毀癌細胞。

部份營養品是能增強免疫系統(如抗氧化劑、維他命、礦物質等等)去驅使自體殺手細胞去摧毀癌細胞,其他營養品如維他命E會使細胞萎縮,或漸使細胞死亡,而非原體內一般處置損壞、無用及不需要細胞之模式。

癌症是一種心態、肉體和心靈上之疾病,因而能有前衛及積極的心靈是可造就癌症戰士變為勝利天使,怨尤和苦痛會讓體質變為緊張及酸性,所以必須學習愛與寬恕,同時學習放鬆及愛惜生命。

癌細胞是無法在充滿氧氣的環境中繁衍,所以每日必須運動,同時多作深呼吸以利氧進入細胞層,按氧氣療法是另一種擊潰癌細胞之工具。

A dream


B,

Just had an intriguing dream( provocative) this morning that my subconscious mind is guiding me to find more resources on problem solving.

Main Background of the dream:
The introduction section of Hypnosis course 
The film " LIFE OF PI"
Your recent ideas on your future

Learning from the above events:
1
The most essential part of NLP and its key part - Hypnosis and meditation is it facilitate us to know what human brain is doing to project so many their own realities and imaginations ( good and bad) and who we are, and why we behave and response so differently - everyone is unique but there are still many things in common; how we can make less mistake by reflection and achieving our goal much more easier /effortless by applying our most important resources - SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. probably more than half of people waste it. That makes them so poor in spiritual aspect especially.
2
Hypnosis is an advanced channel for us to connect with our spiritual world - subconscious mind and the physical world our natural part the body. In trance conditions, we can communicate with them well as they are totally naked, opening door for us to talk heart to heart. They are full of so called useful imaginations, hidden wisdom and caring, protective advices for us to digest, choose or judge, adjust. But if we don't know how to comprehend it, we may be controlled by our emotion. Turn his hidden kindness to outside life - our evil behavior.
3
Everyone has a Bangladeshi tiger in our subconscious mind, no matter knowing or not, accepting or denying. Don't let it control our mind. It can kill us.
But if we want to survive, we get to learn how to communicate with him and turn his evil energy to kindness and compassion, courage and constructive power.
4

Pi says at he end: "人生是无数的放下,遗憾的是我没有好好的道别". What I understand is Life is full of "let it go" and then move forward. But why regretting? It is probably because we don't have done proper reflection and we don't learn from lessons. "Let it go" is good, but the thing is we should not repeat mistakes. Ultimately, we have not really let it go and not accept the facts either. Life is going on but we are human, not animal, we get to fully use the "best trials and mistakes".

With the above ideas in my brain, I fell asleep and started the following vivid dream:

A boy calls me outside of a door and rings the door bell suddenly. I open the door in a hurry and find a pile of stuff on the ground, a five or six year-old boy and Luisa, our ex-helper rushing into the flat. The boy is not as handsome as Eugene at his similar age but very cute, holding a much heavier bag, heavier than his own weight probably. I am happy to see he is growing up and doesn't want other to carry his things!? I am grateful to see his graduation from a boarding school ( a kindergarten). The boy doesn't speak anything but rushes to the balcony fence wall ( a big sea view in front of us) and sit on it and later lie on it, relaxed. ( Pi and his girl friend do this on the seashore) It is crazy. But I can't speak despite that I am anxious.

Just before his fall into sleep and dropping down to the ground from 20th or more higher roof, he turns back and jumps down to the floor, smiling as nothing happens - like me, every time when I am going to fall from the edge of the bed, I can awake myself from my dreams and sleep back to the center part of the bed.

The dreams have so many metaphors. 华山博士说过: In our dreams, anyone or anything can be yourself. a shadow or image of yourself, a projection of yourself. Really or imagination mixed up. So mysterious and profound. ( What I think is whether it is reality and imagination is not important. The importance is its impact, our response and consequence)

I was moved by my dreams many times in my life. They always protect me, open up my views, help me and guide me. Thank you - my subconsciousness.

This dream is so timely to me, conveying so many massages I need to digest. But one thing I immediately realized is I need to trust my boy - he is so green like me on the first day from Polytechnic to the society but he will manage himself well. ( I knew I was so green but I was eager at that time to learn from anyone at that time and I was so happy almost all people around helped me). 

So will be my son.

The Boy is like my young aged Dong Dong and she grows up afterwards via endless trials and errors. The thankful thing is she has been always curious, she is open-minded and humble to learn from others' and own experiences, bad or nice, although she is still green and young in any new phase of her life.

Curiosity, open mind attitude, audacity and never losing hope. Pi's life conveys this message, I believe in this.

Subconscious power - 潜意识的无限能量




  • Nelson, our Hypnosis instructor makes a good summary on NLP above. I couldn't agree more and really am appreciated for his effort.

    Today I started a new short course called Hypnosis. it is a review for my NLP course. With hope to improve sleep quality and help others, to know more about self and subconscious power and impact to my and our life, I decided to throw myself into a happy and relaxation environment - subconscious learning and discovery journey.
    It turned out to be extraordinary relaxing environment that I have not had for a long time, lots of questions and answers, fully interactive. I like it!

    I found we human have huge potential but most of us only develop 5-10%. 

    Everyone has ability to solve all their problems.
    Life is choice. How to make a right choice at any time? 
    How to be stronger and tougher and less emotional?
    How to be more creative and resourceful?
    How to be more compassionate, convincing and empowering to self and others?
    We cannot control event but we can control our response.
    All above are the purposes I need
