THE JOURNEY WITHIN
By Richard ScaleraIf you ask someone where the next great journey could take you, very few would answer, "the mind". Yet I find myself on such a journey now. My guide is Britta Dubbels c.H.T. of pre'sent Inc. Ms. Dubbels does Hypnosis and Energy Work. The second you meet Britta you notice something amazing. She has a peacefull radiance that at once disarms and nurtures her clients. Her goal is to help each of us find the happiness and center in our own lives. I explained that my life was not as vibrant as it used to be and that stress has consistently affected my health.
Britta explained that I could regain what I had lost and learn to handle stress in new ways. She said "It is through self realization that a person can have a fulfilling job, be in love, make money, have success, and enjoy it all"
Under hypnosis the subconscious works with the conscious mind to resolve disputes. Britta says that the number one misconception about hypnotherapy is a loss of control. I was surprised to learn that being under hypnosis means you are really in a more relaxed state that allows your mind to accept change.
To counter my self-doubts, Britta shows me the love and strength I already possess at my very core. Using semi-guided imagery I was able to find the spirit guide if you will, that is always with me. We start with imagery of a place I will feel completely comfortable at. From the safety of an imagined warm field next to a stream, I lie back in the high grass and soak in the peacefulness. As I looked up I could see a globe of light that hovered a few feet above me. The light showered me with tremendous love and support. It flowed through every pore and enveloped me. There are many names that different cultures would use to describe it as. I choose only to be happy that it exists for me.
One of the great tools that hypnosis gives you is tailoring a new response to bad habits. Now whenever I am confronted by a stressful situation my left index finger slowly rises. I am immediately aware that if I dwell on it, I will be lost in the thought. I replace it with a positive and my finger lowers.
So much of what shapes us as adults happens in childhood. Sensing the need to resolve and revisit something there, Britta asked me if I wanted to go back. Without hesitation I agreed. We went back to a traumatic time when I was eight and my ten-year-old sister was dying of Leukemia. It was a devastating event for my entire family. I didn’t expect it to be more than a visit, but it became much more. I was asked to see my sister as she looks now. She appeared as a young woman, caring and smiling. Britta posed the question “was there something I wanted to get off my chest”? Tears poured down my face. I told my sister that I was mad at her for the years I needed her to be there for me, and the turmoil that we all had dealing with her loss! After a moment Britta then asked if I wanted to say I was sorry for something. Once again the tears came. I had held in guilt from childhood from an incident where I told my parents what my sister was going to give them as a present. I asked her forgiveness, she smiled and easily gave it to me. I floated up leaving the memory. I then saw my sister as a child again and hugged her. She seemed so small and I forgave her for not being there, as I now understood she was just a helpless child of ten. As I was brought out of hypnosis I saw Britta smiling. My eyes went wide, and all I could do was say “wow”!
As a result of my sessions I feel free of the stress of life and more interested in living it. I am a much better man for having gone through the experience and forever grateful for such a caring guide. There are over one hundred and forty things that Hypnosis can help you with. It's a journey that is as fascinating as it is helpful. I highly recommend you give it a try. Britta Dubbels of pre'sent Inc. is located on Main Street Bridgehampton.
