Simple and practical.One of the best half hours on KZread.

Melissa remains one of my greatest inspirations and a gratefully acknowledged mentor. Anything you learn from Melissa will be worth gold.

You are so WISE!!! and yet, so genuine, straightforward and unpretentious - even teenagers will try these techniques! Thank You for your videos Melissa, they are such a gift!!! Some therapists/"clinitians" are like scholars and tend to suffer from conceit...you are more like an artist (not to say some artists are not conceited) but you're a creative thinker who does profesional integrative hypnosis like a grade school art teacher...and I mean that with the Highest Respect and Deepest Appreciation and Admiration.

I remember when I was trying to perform a simple "cross crawl" exercise to shift/switch/balance my brain hemispheres.. The exercise was just tap right knee then the left, then cross left to right and keep doing. And boom, I was feeling free from my own internal dialogue. I couldn't back to the previous state anymore. But we know, life always put us in a different trance state if we don't take responsability by our own internal behaviour.

These techniques are so effective, simple and powerful. I trained with Melissa Tiers and it has enriched my practice in a way that is so far reaching in a constructive direction. This video gives a terrific comprehensive look at 'change work.'

I watched this video this morning ....... Wow ! ... I have been studying and practising EFT, TFT and other self help modalities for over 10 years now ( with lots of success ! ) , but this one video is a game changer. No BS, no waffle, just straight to the point help, advice and amazingly effective exercises . Thank you so much for sharing all this Melissa, you have a new "fan" today ! lol :)

Thx Melissa as usual i like the way you ‘re teaching . So humble and well design for student to learn. I use these essentials tools for me and for my client like a doggybag they can bring home.

Habituated pattern : everything done in repetition, creating a neurogroup, firing without willing to do so, automtically. So basically a scientist told some ocd patients, that their brain was firing in a wrong way, as it ws very active in certain positions, this is your brain but it's not you. When they finally understood that they had choice, and that it was not them making those old choices. So they started acknowledging the feeling, the desire to watch their hands for example, but then what they did, is to do something else that is completly different, switching their attention, and then after some minutes, after it has worked, they say oh it feels much better gardening than watching my hands for no particular reason. After they understood how to rewire the brain, the compulsive tendency got less and less, and after a few weeks, the old pattern was completly gone. And i want you to really use your imagination and concentration with me, and when i tell you to sense a feeling, please do us both a favor and really sense it, because if you are not going to do so, then you are just wasting our time, and you are just going to think meeeh this does not work. First Technique : 1 Look for a thing that you can pass forward to both hands ( ex : a ball ) 2 Get connected, with what it is that you want to change : whether it is stress or a smoking a habit, really get into it. i'll give you a moment. and notice where it is in your mind and note it from 0 to 10 3 Bilateral stimulation, move the ball,keys, whatever from hand to hand, stimulating both regions of the brain, and thus stoping the abnormal reaction that is normally one sided. Second Technique : Stop inner dialogue , to do this technique, you have to focus on one point, and then trying to see with the peripheral vision. That means you will fix your eyes on a point and try to see things that are away from it while still fixing the point with your eyes. So if you are craving for cigarettes/cookies, then the cigarette become the focus point. Third technique Think of somewhere you would like to go, maybe paradise, or just a vacation you have been in, or maybe just the end of a yoga class, and as you close your eyes and begin to really experience that feeling of peace, take a feeling to really immerse yourself, and experience that feeling of just letting go, that experience of peace. and then open your eyes hold your hand and say peace, once again do it. ( first anchor) then proceed to tapping on third eye, side of the eye, and under the eye and then on clavicular bone, and finally return to your hand, inhale and exale slowly and say peace. You can use this in this way while having bad emotions or craving : start tapping on your third eye and say, i release and let this go then proceed to the next points and do the same until you get to your hand, take a nice deep breath, and hold your hand the way you use to do, and say peace and then release. Create that anchor that will remind you of peace. YOu can use this anchor whenever you are feeling that craving, and it will take in a whole new road, interupting it. All of this techniques real help your mind shifting from the abnormal reaction to a normal one, and not only will the mental problem like anxiety, smoking or other stuff disapear. Your Body will also benefit alot from it, as you know how strong the Mind-Body connection is, and our conscious thoughts alone has no power over it. So if you want to restore its functions, its capacities, if you want it to be healthy, you really must have a very healthy brain too. Fourth technique : Bring your attention to your heart, the essence of you spirit, bring your full concentration to your heart and the area arround it, and start imagining that you are breathing into your heart, that your heart get pumped while inhaling and then come back to his normal size while exhaling, feel the sensations in the area arround your heart as you do this, you can also put a hand into your heart to really stay concentrated. Each of these 4 techniques will get you out of that unwanted state, after you are in a neutral mood, it's time for change. I really want you to get your focus to something really interresting and fun that you want to do. So if someone feels fear when he wants to get into an airplane, let him do the tapping, and afterward, think of all the exciting stuff that he can do on a airplane, like talking to the person next to him, or watching the facial expressions of other people there, or feeling excited about the travel and really start to imagening what he will do in it, and as he imagine all of this, now it is the time to think about getting into that plane

Thank you Melissa. I will be using this to help my clients today.

Very Helpful,Thanks for sharing it.

Wonderful, thank you Melissa!

Hi Robert. The idea is to use bi-lateral stimulation as a pattern interrupt which gets you out of a hot state. Each time you use it you encourage neuroplasticity until you need to use it less and less as the habituated pattern gets rewired. Make sense?

Loved the video, very interesting. Thank you for posting.

thank you so much. This is some serious efficiant material you gave us here .

Not only are we not the brain. We can be absolutely and utterly free in every single respect from the restriction of every single limitation our imagination could possibly throw up.. Or such is what I am pretty much convinced. This is just the very beginning folks! It is remarkable that people like the Buddha were able to become enlightened without the knowledge we now have of the brain. With the knowledge we now have it is remarkable that far more people aren't becoming enlightened. Any thoughts?

sweet notes. thank you melissa

Is the bilateral stimulation effect temporary? Or should it create permanent changes in how you feel?

Is there a more powerful way to alternative quickly between left and right brain than to toss a ball between your hands?

+TobiasHeath Brown Try to write your hand with the hand you dont usually use :D Unless your ambidextrous of course. There BTW is some evidence that suggests that learning to write with your other hand might be bad for you, dunno if its really established tho

Thank you Melissa. I will be using this to help my clients today.
