Kevin: Let's talk about number one. How are some of the ways that someone can deal with the way that they're thinking or not even deal but free themselves of some of the stress and some of the emotional issues that they have? Brenda: Well, first thing is a lot of times we are thinking thoughts that we don't really even realize are negative. Many people, if you talk to them about negative thinking or negative speaking and you ask them, "Do you speak or think in a negative way? Most people will say, "No, I don't." But then when you really kind of get down to how they are talking to themselves, you will see that the way that they're talking is not really positive, that they are meaning to say something positive but they're saying it in a negative way. So that's the first thing, it's really just kind of teaching people to unprogram themselves, you know it's kind of like whenever you are child and you're sad, you're told, "Don't speak unless spoken to," you know or "Don't talk to strangers," and then you grow up and you're in a job, you're in a sales position, you've got to speak and you've got to talk to strangers. So, now what are you going to do? So, it comes just as a part of reprogramming some of those old tapes that we have heard and how to talk about ourselves positively. One way we do it is to teaching people some very simple affirmations and even though they may sound very simple, almost too simple and people will say, "Gosh, it seems so easy, how can it work if it's so simple?" Well, you know anytime you say the words, "I am" and then you feel that blanking with another word, you're saying the most possible...a positive or a powerful three words that you can say. So, if you say "I am healed" then you're going to create the energy of healing. But if you say "I am sick" you're going to continue to create the energy around sickness. So, that's one thing, really being careful when you say "I am", you know let's say you work really hard all day and you're tired so you're saying "I am so tired". Well, the more you say it, the tired that you get, you know instead if you go out and take a little walk around the block and say "I am energize, I am enthusiastic, I am excited to be alive." You begin talking to yourself in that way, breathing the fresh air, getting the body moving a little bit, you'll see that at the end of that 20 or 30 minute, well you are actually feeling better. So, that's one thing. Now, as far as emotional stuff, really we like to help people to understand what are the emotional components that are related to the disease or symptom that they'd manifested. I used a couple of books that I really like for that. I used a book call Feeling Buried Alive Never Die by Karol Truman and I used a book that a lot of people have heard of call You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay and then I used a book call Radical Forgiveness by Colin Tipping and we really study those levels of, okay first let's get real about what is that emotional component and does it bring through with you and sometimes people will say, "Wow, I cannot believe how much that is like me, what you're telling me, this emotional thing." All the times people will even be in denial more and they'll say, "Well no, I don't think that's it, I don't see how that could be causing my problem." So we just gently and lovingly work with people to get them more aware. We have specific exercises that we do in our emotional healing classes to help people to be able to see within themselves and, you know we get them to face some of the things, you know asking them questions like what is it about yourself that you would like to see change and, you know how do you think that the way you've thought in the past has impacted you and do you think that you are fulfilling your mission in life and just get people dialoguing and thinking, you know when you start talking among yourselves, you can even create a wonderful mastermind group and all of the sudden just from hearing what other people are saying, many times we get our own answers. We're not looking to somebody else to figure it out for us, you know we can figure it out our self but it helps to be able to discuss it with others. And so that is also a part of the way that we help people through emotional healing. Now, with stress, we are doing breathing exercises, relaxation exercises, stretching, yoga, you know helping people to learn how to relieve stress that gets impacted in their self and in their organs, in their glands. Most people don't breathe to their full capacity, that shallow breathing and they find that when they really use more of their lungs and breathe in deeply, that itself can relax. We talk and teach about meditation and how just to free them on of thought for a little bit, don't even think about anything and you don't something, Kevin, that's more challenging than it sounds. So, just not focus on thinking about a particular thing and to rest the mind and I think all of those things put together can really impact the person in a positive way.
