The Benefits Of Pain: by Sue Lester Head Transition
Coach, Master Practitioner of NLP & Hypnosis.
If
you are an occasional or chronic sufferer of pain, it
may seem odd there are actually benefits to pain, both
immediate and ongoing. The immediate benefits are more
obvious, but it is the ongoing which can be unconscious
and therefore not as quickly or easily treated. Neuro
Linguistic Programming (NLP) is particularly effective
for the latter, and complements more common pain treatments
such as acupuncture, massage, osteopathy, physiotherapy
and Frequency Specific Micro-current (FSM is available
at Paddington Clinic Brisbane).
Pain is our body's way of communicating that something
is wrong, and action needs to be taken to remove ourselves
from the source of the pain. During the healing process
pain persists as a reminder to take care of the injured
part. It's important to seek help during this stage
as untreated pain in one part of the body can in turn
injure another. For example, limping with a sore leg
for a few days throws our hips and subsequently back
out of alignment.
(Pain during childbirth is different. It can be signalling
to the mother to move position to assist baby's progress,
but unfortunately the agony many women experience comes
more from fear [the body tensing and resisting], and
expectations of childbirth pain from the stories heard
and movies seen. The mind-body connection with pain
is significant, and nothing illustrates this more than
the magic of watching a tranquil Hypno Birth, or the
amazing orgasmic birth - if every woman could experience
one of those our population would explode! In these
situations the mother's mind convinces her body that
birthing is safe, natural and achievable without significant
discomfort or pain, and her body and baby totally agree.)
The benefits of ongoing pain are less obvious, and even
the concept of Secondary Gain can be quite confronting
to a sufferer. On a personal note, once I was introduced
to the concept, my years and years of vomiting tension
headaches made sense, and I was able to develop strategies
to manage then prevent them occurring. For me, the Secondary
Gain, or benefits of an otherwise negative situation,
were time out from a stressful job, avoidance of situations
out of my comfort zone, a catch-up on sleep, sympathetic
attention and some tender loving care from loved ones.
For pain that is ongoing for more than 6 weeks, there
is commonly an underlying emotional reason or benefit,
and often there is no conscious awareness of that. This
is when NLP can be invaluable in both identifying and
removing the underlying cause, if desired, or simply
training the brain to communicate to the body in a different
way so the pain is alleviated. The obvious benefit of
the former is that the problem won't later resurface
in a different way i.e. back pain replaced with stomach
aches.
Remember pain is one way our unconscious mind communicates
with our conscious mind that something needs to change.
Whether we choose to listen and act, or not, is a personal
choice.

Unlock Your Creative Potential with Right Brain Genius
Workshops: Brisbane 13/12, Sunshine Coast 14/12 &
The Gold Coast 15/12!
HELEN
JOY - WHY AM I HERE?
To teach you about BALANCE! More specifically,
to teach you how to use both sides of your brain in
balance. Unfortunately this is not something that is
taught in school so most people grow up to believe they
are not creative.
Once you discover the right, creative side of your brain
and use it , you will have limitless potential to do
whatever you want with your life.
Right Brain Genius is designed to positively encourage
you to allow the right side of your brain to do what
it was designed to do - BE CREATIVE!
For most people in society, the left side of the brain
is the more dominant and it definitely likes to be in
control.
The left side of your brain is the analytical,
logical, verbal side of your brain. You need it for
balancing the cheque book.
STRESS is stored in the left side of your brain.
By learning how to unlock the right side of your brain
your stress will be relieved. Best of all, once you
know what it feels like to be using the right side of
your brain, you can call on that feeling at will.
The right side of your brain is the creative, visual
side of your brain; it is also where your intuition
and dreams come from.
Right Brain Genius is so much more than a drawing course.
The course will positively encourage you to challenge
any negative emotions you hold about your ability to
draw or be creative. The affect of this for most is
profound.
During the course, you will learn how to un-lock the
Right (creative) side of your brain so you can finally
give the Left (analytical) side of your brain a rest.
The classes are informative, inspiring and definitely
life changing.
A new adventure will begin the moment you enrol in Right-Brain
Genius. This course is an excellent kick-starter to
a multitude of many other wonderful things you can do
with your life.
Relax while building confidence, finding focus and making
new friends, (especially with your own right brain).
As you progress through the simple techniques, you will
thank yourself for the wonderful opportunity of un-locking
your creativity.
A number of students begin to realize their dreams,
while others simply improve on existing skills. Some
notice improved co-ordination skills while others become
aware of greater balance in their lives.
Engineers, Architects, Mums & Dad's, Builders, Accountants,
Professional Artists, Doctors, and Nurses, in fact people
from all walks of life, young & old have and will continue
to benefit in one way or another from this truly amazing
course.

testimonial
Before my Right Brain Genius was given her head, I truly
thought I could not draw. Now I know I can. And now
I believe I can do anything I put my mind to. In the
process of overcoming the fear that my artwork would
not be 'good enough', I have also begun to minimize
my panic attacks and social anxiousness, and have been
able to substantially reduce my anti-depressant medication.
Thank you for this healing opportunity Helen Joy. Your
mother named you well. Robyn Ellen

Why Dancing Fulfils The Most Basic of Human Needs: By
Rio Rhythmics.
What
would make you get up and dance? Like so many things,
dance is both adored and avoided. Adored for the beauty,
skill and fun of it- avoided for our fear of looking
a fool. Dancing can make us feel invigorated, empowered
and contented, and it provides an opportunity (especially
in partner dances) for the most basic of human needs-
relationships and connections with others. It has also
become a skill on which we are judged- we're quite happy
to laugh at those less- than- rhythmic specimens we
see on reality TV shows. We just don't want to be them.
Weddings, parties, nightclubs- life gives us many chances
to let loose and shake our stuff… and if our stuff's
not so flash? Learning to dance can be a very humbling
process. It can help to find which styles of dance-
or music- put you at ease; overcoming the feeling of
intimidation many new students feel can be a key step
to really enjoying dancing.
In West End, Rio Rhythmics introduces students to various
Latin dance styles, encouraging them to develop an individual
understanding and enjoyment of dance. Key to their teaching
philosophy is that "dance" is more than performance
or competition. Steps and techniques learnt in a dance
class can definitely make the "conversation" of dancing
with a partner smoother, but without the engagement,
joy, and presence in the moment, this "conversation"
can also fall flat.
Weekends at the Rio Rhythmics studios are devoted to
guest artist workshops, casual courses and Dance Party
nights on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. These events
drive dancers to thrive in an environment with new and
familiar faces- dancing with people from all backgrounds
and levels of experience. Hosting international guests
and teachers is also an exciting way for the Academy
to offer their students novelty, and the latest variations
of dance styles. To complement this, their teachers
frequently travel to experience new unique dance forms,
to inspire and share with their students.
The gathering of these students, teachers and guest
artists together displays the essence of what "dance"
means to these people. Dance offers the experience of
community, an expression of joy, and an invigorating
outlet to exercise and relieve stress. These things
are central to our wellbeing and the enjoyment of our
lives- well worth overcoming the initial trepidation
of enrolling in your first dance lesson!
As the New Year approaches, many of us will resolve
to achieve something. Often it's an unrealistic something,
and one we've tried at before. It might be simpler if
we only resolved to do something, not achieve it. Have
fun. Get fit. Make friends.
Why wouldn't you dance?
