Why NLP is the Cheat Code to Success and How to Use It

June 25, 2019 by @TheSassyNation in Sassy Wellness, Smart And Sassy

So... what’s the deal with NLP?

Do you know what some of your mega-successful faves, like Oprah, President Barack Obama, Pharrell and Tony Robbins all have in common? It’s a passion for the science of NLP.

In the book NLP: The New Technology of Achievement, the authors describe NLP as “The study of human excellence.”

So, if Aristotle’s words, ““We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit,” are true… then NLP is the real life cheat code that reveals the tested & proven habits and ways of thinking of great achievers in a way that’s accessible and completely applicable to your life.

NLP allows you to see exactly HOW to achieve your goals by helping you to:

Resolve inner conflicts that may be preventing you from deciding on and taking action in your life
Break lifelong habits & beliefs that are holding you back
Create and reinforce positive feelings about yourself
Change your limiting beliefs
Model the thought processes, beliefs and behaviors of winners

When can I use NLP?

Use NLP at work to help you become more confident and persuasive verbally and in writing to lead others, even when you’re not in charge.
In your relationships to let go of past heartbreak, sadness or anger to attract more high-vibe love from the people in your life.
In your business to feel comfortable with selling your services and promoting your products and marketing yourself.
With yourself to tap into your internal resources in order to operate at a high-level. Improve your mood , focus & outlook on life.
In everyday interactions to only attract the best from people and situations you encounter.

Ok, so how does NLP work?

NLP consists of hundreds of techniques that help you accomplish SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timed) goals and get results. Some of the foundational ones that trained master practitioners, like myself, use include Time Techniques, EFT Tapping and Clinical Hypnotherapy to name a few.

"I'm a huge NLP, Neuro-Linguistics Programming person; I love NLP.”
-Pharrell,
Psychology Today

Ok, so what is EFT Tapping?

Have you ever had a negative thought or nagging feeling that you just couldn’t shake off? A few rounds of EFT tapping can knock that right out. Emotional Freedom Techniques are based on acupuncture/acupressure, and uses the same energy meridians (points on the body), to move stuck energy, emotions and physical discomfort. EFT is used to restore balance to the system of the body to it’s natural default setting. And, the best part is that once you learn it, it’s a tool you can use anytime—at your desk, on your flight, stuck in traffic, pretty much anywhere.

And, TIME Techniques?

TIME, or Time Integration for Maximum Empowerment is a set of techniques from NLP that are used to eliminate problems rooted in the past or future; undo limiting decisions, which are the root cause of a stubborn belief; release negative emotions; and re-program your subconscious mind for future success. For example, once we pinpoint the reason and locate point where the habit of being, let’s say, self-critical began in your life, we can revisit and neutralize its original cause (in a loving, self-compassionate way, of course).

Alright, now what about hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis is relaxation, plus focused attention to speak to your subconscious mind—that is the part of your brain that’s responsible for your automatic thoughts and behaviors, like whether or not you will procrastinate or take action. The body is much like a robot and your mind has the programming that runs the show. That’s why hypnosis is a powerful tool that I use to help my clients program their mind for more success, love, confidence, abundance—whatever is needed! You, too, can give up what’s been weighing you down.

In a short time, NLP can and will ultimately lead to personal success in your life. But, beyond it’s reputation as a tool that everyday, exceptional people like you can use to easily model the ways great achievers use their brain to get results—NLP allows you to release the discomfort of heavy feelings that you’ve likely been carrying around for years. The subconscious remembers each and every detail of your entire life. And, it’s constantly using that info it has collected to do it’s job of trying to protect you from perceived harm, like a bear chasing you in the wild back when we used to hunt for survival. Or… getting up to do a speech—which can seem like an impeding bear attack when you’re not used to doing it (that’s called activated fight or flight mode).

In fact, your survival instinct is so sharp and efficient, anytime our conscious mind has an idea to do something new, like start your business or a relationship, for example, your subconscious mind jumps in and not only calculates the risk, but then it determines whether or not to green-light the necessary habits, functions and internal resources you need to make it happen. When the subconscious is not on board it’s starts flashing red lights to stop you, so you end up do things like procrastinating, making excuses, and self-sabotaging to not act on the brilliant idea your conscious mind dreamt up and you’ve been telling yourself you actually want.

Your subconscious also harbors around latent feelings until it finds what it thinks is an opportune time to bring it to the surface and resolve it. Have you ever witnessed someone who maybe had a bit too much to drink at a party and have an “inappropriate” outburst seemingly out of nowhere? Well, the subconscious simply thought— ‘Hey, this is my moment to resolve this issue! Let’s do this!’ The beautiful thing about the work that I do with my clients is the emotional freedom that they get as a result of taking charge of their subconscious inner workings. Reaching your goals and desires becomes so much easier once you’re finally able to let go of the ton of bricks weighing you down and re-write your subconscious programming.

By now, I’m sure you’re probably thinking, well, where can I get some of that and how can I start using it today, because I need more success and less stress in my life, ASAP!

I hear you! And once you learn how easy it is to start making the conscious choice to take control and be at cause and create the life you deserve, you’ll wonder why you took you so long to say YES to yourself and book that free first discovery call to learn more about how to uplevel your life.

Hypnosis and Mindset Tools for the Modern Girl

June 16, 2019 by @TheSassyNation in Sassy Wellness, Smart And Sassy

So... what’s the deal with hypnosis?

Did you know that we all go into hypnosis or a light trance on a daily basis? Do you find yourself mindlessly & obsessively scrolling IG and next thing you know you’ve lost track of time?? If so, you’ve become entranced. If you watch TV, you have to allow your mind to go into a light hypnosis in order to take in the programming. Even when reading a good book, we’re opening ourselves up to suspend other thoughts and become immersed in the words & ideas the author has created.

Of all of the things you choose to interact with, what would happen if you opened yourself to messaging that empowers you to have more confidence, better money habits & a mindset for success in your business, personal life & relationships? That’s what good hypnotherapy can do for you.

What Hypnotherapy is not

It’s not spooky, or weird, and it’s not mind control. What you see on stage at hypnosis shows is for entertainment only. You’re actually in full control the entire time.

What hypnotherapy is

Hypnosis is relaxation, plus focused attention to speak to your subconscious mind—that is the part of your brain that’s responsible for your automatic thoughts and behaviors, like whether or not you will procrastinate or take action. The body is much like a robot and your mind has the programming that runs the show. That’s why hypnosis is a powerful tool you can use to program your mind for more success, love, confidence—whatever you need!

hypnotherapy4.jpg

Hypnosis is not something that’s done to you— you agree to it, and we do it together.

Think of it as kind of like having a tour guide for your mind. But at the end of the day, if you want to have an impactful experience, it’s up to you to take action & get results after a session!

“This session truly helped me feel uplifted. It was so empowering. After, I was feeling confident and ready to go.” -Sandra F.

Imagine what your life would be like if you could get rid of imposter syndrome, the fear of being seen, scarcity and let your true self shine through, you’d be down with that, wouldn’t you?

You’d want that, right? Well— now is your chance to try your first (or maybe your new fave—hint, hint) abundance mindset hypnosis for right here.

Suppose you could have fun doing work you love that makes the money you deserve. Imagine what you’ do, where you’d go & how you’d spend your time.

Whatever your lifestyle goals are, it all starts with the belief that you are worthy & capable of of having what you want. That’s the power of hypnosis. Try it today.

Self-Love Goddess Bath

Weekend Wellness: Self-Love Goddess Bath

January 22, 2019 by @TheSassyNation in Sassy Wellness, Otherworldly Sass

Dust off your aura with a sweet & floral bath ritual

Have you been feeling the pull to love on yourself a bit more lately? Everyone knows that the more you radiate love and high-vibe energy, the more that same energy becomes attracted to you. In my quest to love up on myself more, over the past 3 days, I’d been planning to create a honey jar to sweeten my aura and draw more opportunities and high-vibe people into my space.

There are quite a few ingredients that I felt compelled to work with and add to this jar. I spent a couple of days the week prior collecting some new herbs that intuitively felt in alignment with my intent. I’d planned to put everything together on the morning of the blood moon eclipse. However, the universe had other plans. Instead of working on my jar, I woke up with a strong desire to clean and purge. I ended up spending the better part of the day organizing my room, throwing things out, cleaning my altar and tidying up. Marie Kondo would be proud! Plus, I later found out that big eclipse energy requires letting go.

Afterwards, I didn’t feel like doing anything but resting, and felt that since I’d done so much physical cleaning, and touching things that no longer resonated with me that I wanted to let go of, I thought it would be a good time to do a spiritual bath.

I already had many of the items for my honey jar, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to test some of them out. My intent was primarily to let go of old stuff and to clear my energy to make way for the new-new —basically more self-love, more compassion for myself, and of course a highly attractive energy field.

And I’m so glad that I did, ‘cause when I got out that thang… honey… I felt like NEW cash money! And, the very next day, I got a sudden windfall of cash unexpectedly. Okurrr! So, if you want the recipe for my self-love goddess bath to try it for yourself, here it goes…

What you’ll need:

Dried Lavender (Love, protection, healing)

Cinnamon stick (Success, healing, power, protection, love, luck, strength, prosperity)

Chamomile (Luck, love, healing, calm)

Dried red roses (Divine love & lasting relationships)

Raw sugar (Love, sex, power)

What you’ll do:

Boil on med-low 15-20 minutes, long enough to release the plants’ essence.

*Fresh flowers and herbs can be used, no boiling necessary. Instead, you can give them a loving massage to release the natural perfume and oils.

Either way it’s a good idea to invoke the power of each ingredient as you add to the pot (if boiling) or tub (if using fresh ingredients). For example: ‘Thank you roses for for lending your divine love and lasting relationship power.’

Cool & strain (Alternately, you can strain right into the tub if using it for a bath).

In the tub add your bath salt. Pink Himalayan works wonders + your fave essential oils. I used moldavite bath salt +  jasmine and rosemary essential oil.

ALSO, I forgot to mention this on social, but I added some of my fave crystals in the bath with me while I soaked. I grabbed my rose quartz, labradorite, amethyst, moonstone, red tiger’s eye & moldavite. Make sure whichever ones you choose are suitable to be submerged. Some crystals don’t fare well in water.

Burn your favorite incense. Again, I used moldavite (my favorite transformation tektite essence).

Afterwards, try to air dry, and wrap up in something comforting or that make you feel your best. I did this bath on Sunday, which is ruled by the sun, so I chose a vibrant gold yellow cropped sweatshirt over my fave black bodysuit.

One of my blogger baes DM’d me on IG to let me know she was planning to use hers as a Florida water. You can see her version in the video above. However you decide to use it, make it your own and remember— it’s more about the intent than following a stringent guideline. Your own spirit knows what you need. So, let that be your guide!

Hit me up and send me photos if you decide to use this recipe and it helps you. I’d love to see your work!

Ayahuasca & The Black Traveler

Griots Republic: Ayahuasca & The Black Traveler

January 08, 2019 by @TheSassyNation in Sassy Wellness, Sassy Wanderer

Aya Stories | Ayahuasca & The Black Traveler feature story x @GriotsRepublic

I can't pinpoint with certainty why I felt compelled to experience Ayahuasca. It’s said, if it's for you, it will call you. And Muva Aya (my name for her) definitely drew me in. For me, Aya seemed the natural next step in up-leveling my consciousness. To prepare, I watched many videos on Youtube—although, no amount of research can adequately reflect what it’s like....
