The Root of Power - Embody Peace, Heal Trauma & Be Happy
Most automatic things we do are conditioned responses that we learned during childhood, but they're no longer serving us. Until we are 6, we exist mostly in theta brainwaves, which is associated with a hypnotic state. We are the most suggestible we will ever be. Everything a child that young hears is taken as true, nothing is questioned. Most people then never question the programming they received as children. This is good for adults who need to teach a child how to behave in the world quickly, and not so good for the child that becomes the adult if they don't learn to question their...

info_outlineFree Stuff: https://livemyhappyhealth.com/free Have you ever watched an animal wrapped up so tightly that they can't get free? And they struggle and struggle, and get more tightly wound until they immobolize themselves. Maybe you've done this too - struggled and strained and tried to pull away only to become more stuck and more entrenched? This is something I see all the time, and while it's a normal instinct, it only makes us more stuck. In this episode I talk about how more often than not, the secret to breaking free is to surrender so that the tension and pressure releases. When you stop fighting, your nervous system calms and you can do what's actually helpful - think. Fighting doesn't help you. Struggling doesn't help you. Being calm and having access to calm and creativity does. Website: www.livemyhappyhealth.com IG: @amanda_chils FB: @amandachilscoach
