1. OPENING UP TO CREATIVITY AND ORIGINAL THOUGHT
By: Philip Holder PhD.
Copyright Philip Holder PhD. 2014
ORIGINAL THOUGHT
People often come to me with the goal of being able to better open up to their creative and intuitive powers. Patients, students and friends are often looking for ways to expand their horizons and to gain the ability to look at life from many different perspectives. There is one simple concept that I relay to them all. Original thought can never be achieved with the conscious mind.
THE CONSCIOUS MIND
The conscious mind represents the analytical and rational part of who we are. The analytical mind is great for solving math problems, putting a puzzle together, or keeping us on the right road when we are driving to the grocery store. The rational part of the conscious mind assigns reasons to our experiences in life. If someone pulls out in front of us when we are driving, and we have to hit the brakes, most people’s first instinct would be to look for a reason why that happened. A person might first say to him or herself, “Why did he do that?” Then he or she would likely assign that experience an explanation or reason like, “Oh he’s a jerk”. Often it may not be the right reason but nevertheless we (as a species) feel better having a reason for the things that we experience. There is one problem with the conscious mind. It can only relate to what’s been programmed in over the person’s lifetime. Because creativity is not a function of the conscious mind, a person can never truly experience original thought while anchored in the conscious thought process. All conscious thoughts are second-hand thoughts. Think about it. Every conscious thought that people have can be traced to things that person has read, watched on TV, heard on the radio, or been taught by their parents, teachers, or clergy. Much of this information is needed and often good, but it is not original thought.
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
The subconscious mind represents the creative, intuitive, imaginative, perceptive, emotional, part of who we are. It is the little child in all of us that can easily turn a cardboard box into a train, plane, or a wonderful fort or playhouse. It is the part of us that knows no physical, rational, or logical boundaries. It is the child who can see and believe there is a purple rabbit behind the couch. It is the boundless part of us that sees wonder in the simplest of things.
HOW TO UNLOCK THE CREATIVE POWER WITHIN
Critical Faculty Bypass (commonly known as trance state) is the only path to achieving true original thought. Hypnosis (and trance state in general) occurs when the conscious mind steps aside allowing untainted access to the creative subconscious mind. Trance state is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Simply staring out of the window and daydreaming can often meet the criteria for trance state. I believe that all of the great artists, musicians, inventors, and writers throughout history spent a significant portion of their lives in trance. Perhaps the biggest difference between the average person and a great painter, musician, or inventor, lies simply in the fact that the artist, by nature, often has the inherent ability to spontaneously go into trance state (in most cases probably not knowing they were even doing so).
Trance state allows the creative talents, intuitive ability, imaginative qualities, perceptual flexibility, and the most emotionally honest, part of who we are to freely explore ideas that were never before part of their thought process or life experience. It allows us to bypass all of the “It couldn’t work”, “how could that be”, or “that doesn’t make sense” hang-ups and to simply enjoy the creative process.
Meditation, hypnosis, or for that matter any spontaneous or induced trance state allows the subconscious mind to be free from the conscious restraints which are present in the conscious waking state. The more you exercise a muscle the stronger it becomes. Likewise, the more you exercise your inner creative child, through vehicles like meditation, and hypnosis, the more powerful your intuitive and creative powers become. Conscious thought can only take you over paths you have already traveled. New and original thought can only be achieved by letting go of the conscious/critical mind and allowing the trance state to free the wonderful creative powers within you.
Note: Read below and see how our Alpha-Theta Training can help you achieve a deep trance state quickly and easily to help increase your creativity, intuitive ability, relieve stress and much more (without the need for long term meditation practice).

2. YOGA CLASSES
Instructor: Maureen Parvati Heil
Maureen teaches a beautiful and traditional style of Hatha yoga that encompasses the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the practice. She connects with her students by meeting them where they are, so they can truly connect to themselves and grow through the practice of Yoga. Immersed in the teachings of the eight limbed path of yoga, the Divine Feminine, and Tantra which recognizes everything, including ourselves as divine, she is an Ayurvedic Counselor (an ancient form of natural health which recognizes that we are unique individuals, which utilizes dietary and lifestyle therapy, seasonal practices, and spiritual counseling to bring wellness and balance to the individual, children, and their families). She came to the practice of yoga through the prolonged illness of her father and fell in love with the healing it brought. She has connected to her inner muse and wants to share this gift with her students.
As well, Maureen is an artist, blogger and social activist who has traveled to Haiti to bring yoga to children in trauma. She is on the board and is the coordinator of Appalachian outreach for “Go Give Yoga”. Maureen was given the spiritual name of Parvati by her teacher, Shiva Das, meaning the Goddess of love, power, yoga and devotion. This is reflected in her teaching style….she teaches from the one true teacher; the heart. Come experience her teachings and connect deeper to yourself, and find your inner muse!

Most people have some familiarity with massage, but people frequently ask, “What is Reiki?”? Reiki is a form of therapy that uses simple hands-on, no-touch, and visualization techniques, with the goal of improving the flow of energy within a person (The Chinese masters call it Chi, The Japanese Ki). Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means “universal life energy” in Japanese. Reiki practitioners are trained to detect and alleviate problems of energy flow on the physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Reiki touch therapy is used to relieve stress and pain, and to improve the symptoms of various health conditions. Practitioners have reported success in helping patients with acute and chronic illnesses, from asthma and arthritis to trauma and recovery from surgery. Reiki is a gentle and safe modality that is used successfully in many hospitals. It has been found to be very calming and reassuring for those suffering from even severe conditions.
Through specialized, one-on-one assessment for each client and personalized care, Kathleen provides massage and Reiki to help you feel your best. Call BodySmart Wellness To Set Up A Consultation Or Your Appointment Today!

Benefit From Our Alpha-Theta Brain Training Sessions
Brainwave studies done over the last few decades with various meditation masters have demonstrated that a key signature of meditation is synchronized brainwaves in the alpha and or theta range. This treatment can powerfully mimic traditional meditation training by giving users audio feedback when they are producing synchronous alpha theta brain waves. Neuro-feedback researchers found that theta states made it possible for subjects to maintain positive changes in their behavior and in their attitudes. Alpha theta brain wave training provides the benefits of meditation at an accelerated rate… You can enjoy much deeper results much faster. This Brain Training” can benefit participants in the areas of therapy, peak performance, creativity, and personal development. In addition, Alpha-Theta training has been shown to be effective for depression, anxiety, PTSD and addiction issues.

Free Workshop: Gene Testing and Anti-Aging
Your Genes Can Take The Guesswork Out of Becoming Healthier and Feeling Younger
Want to feel younger, look younger and get the most out of life? What foods are healthiest for you? How should you be exercising? Your genes can provide the answers!
Contained in the nucleotides of DNA are the genetic instructions for every function in the human body. Traditionally, DNA is associated with dictating individual appearance, hair and eye color, height etc. That holds true as well in regard to enzymatic pathways, receptor function and ultimately the precise requirements for exercise, diet and nutritional supplements for each individual.
Genetic makeup and expression exert considerable influence over an individual’s metabolic function and exercise physiology. There is extensive evidence that supports the direct interaction of genes with overall physiological processes of metabolic function and obesity and showing the intricate interaction(s) of polymorphism(s) that alter the degree or severity of metabolic disorders and/or resistance to weight loss. By knowing how a person’s genes instruct a person’s body to respond to various foods, levels of exercise etc., more efficient programs for weight loss, fitness and overall better health can be structured.
This and other health and Anti-Aging topics will be discussed.

Weight Loss, The Easy and Natural Way
Lose weight easily by changing your “relationship” with food. Are you a “comfort eater”, do you make poor food choices, are you unmotivated to exercise or simply eat too much? This is NOT a diet. Hypnosis works by modifying attitudes and eliminating cravings at a subconscious level. It is safe and is as natural as daydreaming. Philip Holder, Ph.D

Past Lives: The Theory and the Experience
Is it real or is it fantasy? Would you like to know if you are an old spirit, if you have lived a previous life or lives? In many cultures it is believed that our fears and anxieties, our talents and creative abilities, may have their roots in experiences from a previous life. By discovering our past experiences, and how they have led us to where we are now, we can better understand ourselves, our likes, our dislikes, our fears, our goals and our desires. During class, Dr. Holder will ask for volunteers who would like to experience a past life regression through hypnosis. Note: Please plan to arrive early as doors will be closed to avoid disruption.
