Greetings
For Your Information: A "new" (relatively) technique
"sweeping" psychotherapy and psychology is E.M.D.R. Which stands
for: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a means
of re-processing thoughts/memories to desensitize emotions/trauma
(and negative beliefs/programming). It is now also called B.L.S.
for Bi-Lateral Stimulation as it can be done by alternating steady
sounds between the right and left ear or steady tapping on opposite
sides of the body - like the knees or hands or shoulders.
EMDR/BLS is (we quote): "An empirically validated
treatment that integrates cognitive therapy and experiential therapy."
It is said it helps the brain to find adaptive resolutions. Brain
scans during and after treatment show brain changes occurring.
(See Book: Daniel Amen: "Healing Anxiety and Depression"
for pictures of brain changes that occur during and after EMDR)
It is particularly helpful for people who say they
are "not interested in working with the past" as it can be described
as "Working in the present, using the past if it comes up naturally."
What seems to occur during the process is: 1: A linking of stored
information. 2. A Mindfulness. (Opportunity to "step back" and
observe events / thoughts / emotions / images / pain in a non-judging
way which leads to acceptance and letting go of the events / thoughts
/ emotions / images / pain.
Psychotherapists and psychologists describe it
as "not hypnosis" though any hypnotist who uses it (we do) would
find this laughable. It is a technique of temporarily (meaning
for the moment) altering the attention in a way one can look at
things in a way that allows them to process them differently.
The American Medical Association defines hypnosis as "a temporary
condition of altered attention." As any hypnotist will tell you,
focusing your eyes on a steadily moving object, or listening to
steady rhythmic sounds, or feeling a steady rhythmic sensation
will move you into hypnosis. The advantage to using this technique
rather than hypnosis is so many people have an erroneous impression
of what hypnosis is (and is not). They expect to be unconscious
during hypnosis and are disappointed when this does not happen.
They also think of it as brain control. EMDR/BLS is a lot less
frightening as they expect to be and are in complete conscious
control. (True in hypnosis also, but many don’t believe this until
they experience it).
The changes that occur with this technique are
rapid and lasting if the patient/client reaches an unconscious
and conscious resolution of the origins of the condition.
We have found the changes are noticeable to the client/patient
immediately because of its immediate effect on the brain and body.
Changes from working with the mind alone sometimes take time to
filter from the energy fields of the mind into the brain and body.
Which gives the person time to decide "that didn’t work", which
can undo the positive changes. To read more (free) on EMDR go
to: www.emdrportal.com.
While NOT recommended for self-use for traumatic
or upsetting memories, EMDR/BLS CD’s or Cassette Tapes can be
used to move oneself from negative thoughts (or beliefs) and feelings
to more positive ones. How? While listening to the tape/CD, begin
thinking of the negative thought or belief. Notice how it affects
you emotionally and physically. (Angry, sad, shame, guilt, depressed,
heaviness in chest, upset stomach, lump in throat, choked up etc.
If you are out of touch with your emotions or body and don’t know
what you are feeling, test with a pendulum - see treasure chest
on our website below - or other self-muscle testing technique.)
Put on the BLS C.D. or Tape. Think the negative thought/belief
and feel what you feel, then just observe/listen to the thoughts
that follow. It may be the same thought. New thoughts may float
into your mind. Just quietly observe what you think. If another
negative thought occurs to you, pause, take a breath and begin
again with this ‘other’ negative thought. If a negative memory
comes up, pause, take a breath and think about this negative memory
from your viewpoint now. (As though you now are observing you
then and giving you then your guidance. If this triggers anxiety
or heavier feelings than you started with, imagine you are taking
the memory and placing it in a briefcase to take to a hypnotherapist
who does regression therapy or E.M.D.R. practioner.) Continue
this process of observing your thoughts/feelings for one - two
minutes at a time (while playing the tape/C.D.) until you have
an "aha!" This is usually a realization the negative thought and
feeling have disappeared. Or you are aware of a positive thought/feeling
that have taken their place. Example: A client of Pamela’s
began with the thought: ‘My body is ugly". After 30 seconds she
blurted out: "My God, my mother told me that. How ridiculous.
I don’t have an ugly body!" Her shame when she thought of her
body had disappeared. Yes, it can happen that fast.
Using the tapes/C.D. while doing the "Black Board
Technique" to Erase and Replace Negative Thoughts/Beliefs (See
Treasure Chest our website below) is very empowering too.
To purchase Bi-Lateral Stimulation C.D.’s and Cassette
tapes go to: www.BioLateral.com
or e-mail: lauriedela@aol.com or phone Laurie at: 516-826-7996.
To play them you will need a Stereo Player and Stereo headphones.
Remember, it does not work the same unless the sound alternates
from ear to ear. A Self-Tapping Bi-Lateral Stimulation technique
is the "Butterfly Hug". Cross arms and tap your shoulders while
tapping out the negative thought and tapping in the positive.
Take care of yourselves. And, please, Have A Light
Moment Daily to Light The Earth, You, and Loved Ones.
With Light, Pamela & Dr. Hugh

Greetings!
My son and daughter were visiting this week, so this is a kind
of rushed ezine.
First: Please note that any email sent from us will be from odyssey@odysseyofthesoul.org
or from lightspirit@earthlink.net If you receive email from odysseyofthesoul.org
with any other prefix in front - delete it.
We have received returned email (hundreds and hundreds) sent out
from comments@odysseyofthesoul.org. Not quite sure how to fix it
yet, but be sure to delete this if it comes to you.
Second: For our ezine, I shall share with you an email response
to a woman in Singapore asking for a Spirit Session to find more
about past life connections with a relationship today. It is information
that may be useful to you as well:
"Dear _______,
We would be happy to look into your Soul Records regarding your
relationship. All we need is your birth information - name at birth,
place of birth, birthdate. Not for astrology reasons, but to pinpoint
you as there are often several people with the same name (and once,
the same place of birth!) in the Records.
But a question.....can you find a hypnotist in your area? It is
so much more meaningful to discover these things for oneself. Hypnosis
is not an unconscious state nor is it an out of control state. It
is simply and profoundly a state of shifted attention you might
say.
The hypnotist would have you close your eyes and help you to focus
your thoughts inward. When you are in a comfortable hypnotic state,
the hypnotist will say something like: "Go back in time to the first
time you met the soul you know today as _______"
Then the hypnotist could ask you, while you are in that past life,
questions you've brought to the hypnotist to ask. Or you may just
choose to have the hypnotist let you remember and talk about that
relationship. Or both.
If you find you can't get names and dates yourself or if you want
verification of what you've remembered, then you could ask us for
that.
If you prefer to have names and dates before doing sessions with
a hypnotist that is fine too. But again, I tell you, it is so much
more alive and meaningful and so much more self-revealing to uncover
one's own past lives myself.
So if you still want a session, email the questions you have. After
we do the session we will mail the tape back to you. It is a cassette
tape, so be certain you have a recorder to play it on. After you
have received and listened to the tape and determined its worth
to you, we would appreciate it if you would remember FREOMM with
a donation to help spread Light's Messages to the populace of the
Earth."
If you are willing to share your information with others on our
website, type up the session and email that back to us. Let us know
if you do or do not want your name and contact information posted.
Otherwise we will keep the information anonymous. "

Greetings
It’s Halloween ~ All Hallow Eve, the night before the
festival of All Saint’s Day, began as a day when the powers of
darkness were said to be prevalent. Said to be the night that
begins the witches’ new year and a night in which the etheric
world has tremendous power.
Also known as the astral world, soul world or invisible
world, the etheric world is realms of vibration slightly faster
than the vibrations of physical matter. The biggest difference
between the etheric world and the physical world is thought manifests
instantly in the etheric world because it does not need to make
its way through the denser solid fields of energy that make up
physical matter. Thus, what you think in the etheric world - you
get. This is the world in which thought images appear - whether
they are the thought images of visualization, imagination, fantasies,
memories, dreams, or nightmares. These are the realms of astral
travel and out of body experiences and the world in which demons,
ghosts, angels, archangels and spiritual beings appear. Any spirit
can take any shape or form it wants in these realms. Our own minds
can project any shape or form in these realms too. Which is what
causes so much confusion. In trance states, meditative states,
prayer states, dream states or when one just awakes or is just
falling asleep - one is slightly out of the body and is vibrating
at a slightly faster rate which enables one to see into the etheric
world. What does one see? One sees what the mind of the spirit
or spirits present want one to see or one sees what one’s own
mind wants one to see. After all, to see pure spirit is to see
light. It is the mind that creates form for spirit.
For example: You are meditating and you suddenly
see Jesus, let us say, or Buddha, or Krishna, or Mohammed. Are
these beings in the etheric realms? No. All are ascended. What
are you seeing? There are three possibilities: 1) You are seeing
a very high spiritual being. Your mind or the spiritual being
wants you to know it is of a high spiritual vibration so your
mind or the mind of this being projects around its light the form
of a spiritual being that you know to be of a very high spiritual
vibration. Is this less special than actually seeing the being
you think you are seeing? Why would it be? Personalities are not
important in the spirit realms. Knowledge is important. 2) You
are receiving a message from higher spiritual levels or beings
in these levels and your mind or the messenger is projecting around
its light a form that informs you of the source of the message;
i.e the being you see or that the message is from higher spiritual
levels. 3) A spirit that is not of a high spiritual vibration
is projecting around itself a form it knows you believe to be
a spiritual being, thus using your beliefs to mislead you.
Ewwww. So which one is it? Now THAT, our friends,
is the purpose of working with one’s own subconscious mind and
Higher Self (the spiritual levels of one’s own vibrations) to
establish signals that let you know which it is. Just as your
physical eyes can deceive you in the physical realms, your psychic
eyes can deceive you in the psychic realms (the realms of spirit).
Do not trust what you see or hear psychically until you have received
clearance from your own subconscious mind and Higher Self.
If you are working with spirit guides or with angels
or archangels or with spiritual beings without having established
clear communication and signals with the Higher Self and subconscious
as to the source of spirit messages - you are ripe for being deceived
by spirits. If you have not cleared your subconscious/unconscious
levels of false beliefs taught you as a child you are ripe for
being deceived by spirits. If you have not cleared your subconscious
levels of self (including the inner child) of fears and false
desires, you are ripe for being deceived by spirits. As Light
writes: "If you do not know the mind, you cannot know spirit."
As we write: "If you do not know your subconscious mind, you do
not know your mind or your spirit."
Everyone wants to know "Who am I?" "Why am I here?"
"What is special about me?" Few are willing to discover these
answers by diligently exploring their inner selves and opening
communication with the subconscious and the Higher Self under
the careful guidance of a tutor who can help them establish the
signals to discern fantasy from truth. Most prefer being told
what they want to hear by someone or something else. Then, feeling
unworthy of what they want to hear, they withdraw into their fantasies,
depriving the physical world of their presence. Who are you? You
are a spirit of light presently embodied in a human form. Why
are you here? To give of your light (your energy and your consciousness)
to humans, including the human you are in. What is special about
you? THAT is the journey dear friends, to discover what is unique
about your light and in this discovery, to move the spiritual
progression of humans, your own soul, and all spirit forward.
How do you discover this? Ah, the most difficult task of all -
discover what makes you truly happy. When you are not happy, your
light shrinks. This makes you and those around you depressed.
Until you find what makes you happy - suggestions
on this next week - find a way to bring happiness - however brief
- to all that cross your path. If you do this, you are on your
path of purpose. It does not matter to the spiritual realms what
you do to bring light - joy - into the world. It matters to your
own soul that you do what makes you happy for this is what grows
your light.
With Light, Pamela and Dr. Hugh
