Offering Us Wisdom In my last blog post, https://wiseheartcoaching.com/epigenetics/, I wrote about epigenetics. Since then, I have been studying more on this important topic and feel it is often the key to much of the pain that causes us to suffer. My marketing manager, Anne Haynes, created a wonderful grap hic that helps explain epigenetics by utilizing the wisdom of the Tree of Life. Let's Take a Look First, notice that she is a crone tree, old and riddled with wisdom – a sage … [Read more...] about The Tree of Life

Epigenetics
What is it and can you benefit from treatment? We all know that we share traits with our parents and grandparents like hair color or height, or even a talent for music or sports.

A New Perspective
Exploring the Benefits of the Meta-View In my work as a hypnotherapist, helping my clients let go of old anger, hurt, disappointment, pain, and tears has been the most important in supporting them to move forward in life. I do this by teaching how to take the 'Meta-View'. In the Meta-View the client is able to look at the circumstances of their life from a different perspective. According to Wikipedia: “Perspective-taking is the act of perceiving a situation or understanding a … [Read more...] about A New Perspective
