ERT - A New Hypnosis Technique

Changing EmotionIn therapy land, new techniques are being invented all the time. Now I have also found another "new" technique. ERT - or Emotional Replacement Therapy. This technique was invented by an American who has been using it for years and has amazing results. I too am working with it now..

ERT

So what is ERT. It's a way to release emotions without feeling them. It involves first lowering brain activity to about 1 to 4 Hertz. If you consider that you are reading this at probably 22 Hertz, you can figure that you need to relax a lot more.

During relaxation, brain activity lowers and you move toward 1-4 Hz. From 4 Hz or lower you are dealing with the Delta brain wavelength and you have the same when you sleep deeply. So you can imagine how relaxed you have to be for this technique to work properly.

In that reduced brain activity, you can retrieve emotions without feeling them. Consequently, you can release them quite easily. In that state, what you bring with you in terms of suggestions is much more powerful. When you work with that state then the chances of success are many times greater.

EEGEEG Chart

With an EEG (electroencephalogram), you can see that when you use the
method, brain activity drops rapidly. It’s
amazing to see that this hypnosis technique works so well.
The blue color indicates low activity.

So how does it work?

You raise emotion when you are in the deepest state of hypnosis. The brain activity is then near 0 Hz. You then put that emotion into the right arm and let it go up.

Then you drop the arm and with it 50% of the emotion. You repeat this again with 30% (so you're at 80%) and then the last 20%.

Then install a new program with a different emotion and the results are amazing. It works insanely with anxiety, smoking cessation, weight loss and more.... Even clinical depression has been relieved with it, although much more research needs to be done of course to really say anything with certainty about that.

Of course, you can also do this yourself although it may be a bit difficult. Just follow the instructions above and you may start to succeed.

My way is very simple, very inefficient, fairly inexpensive and almost always applicable. It is an in-the-moment-thing and works perfectly in the moments you desperately need it. It is the perfect medicine for your emotions as long as the rest of your health leaves you cold. A medicine that almost everyone applies at times. Grandpas, grandmas and parents all over the world use this medicine. What is it? Candy, snacks and all the other unhealthy food that is like angels pissing all over your tongue.

I am someone who normally suppresses emotions, not consciously but as an automatic reaction to protect myself. Although I don't think about it then, it naturally manifests in my daily life through how I react to things and how I feel subconsciously. When the bucket starts to go way over I start cleaning, especially washing dishes helps because that goes on autopilot and it limits my vision because I am facing tiles. This combined with music that I know picks up or amplifies my emotions. It is then as if I am talking to myself, as if I am having a conversation with an outsider about what I am dealing with. First I put on music that puts me in this emotional state, and when I have "thrown it all out" I switch to positive and uplifting music. When I do this, it's like a burden has fallen off my shoulders and I see everything a lot more positively again:)

Hi Edwin, I change my emotions through heart breathing. I breathe in through my heart and let everything go as I breathe out. Best regards, Ger

Hi Edwin, I try to change my thought about it, so my feelings naturally change with it.I often have to repeat this a few days later, but it works!

Hi Edwin, I know from experience that meditation helps you relax, which in turn improves your awareness; and because your awareness improves, you’re better able to control your emotions or even let them go.

Interesting question: “What method do I use to change my emotions?” When I experience negative or unpleasant emotions, I use a few different ways to deal with them....... I take a few very conscious breaths. Sometimes I focus on my breathing for a short while. If I also have thoughts that intensify those emotions, I sometimes say that thought in a funny little voice—I need to do this more often, but it does stop that thought. I’m getting better and better at fully accepting my emotions; I used to find that incredibly difficult, but after listening to some of Adam Eason’s hypnosis recordings, it’s suddenly become a lot easier. I’m now getting better at sensing where the emotion is located in my body, accepting it, and allowing it to express itself in whatever way is needed. Don’t think of me smashing up a room, but rather, for example, that I acknowledge my anger or rage about something—toward myself or others—and truly allow myself to feel it. As soon as I do that, the negative emotion disappears, and I feel a sense of relief. The beauty of this is that I’m increasingly able to feel the real underlying emotion rather than the symptomatic one, and that I can then do more with it (okay, now it’s getting complicated ;). Although NLP has an emotion-reversal technique that works well, it feels very artificial, whereas what I’ve learned in the hypnosis sessions feels very natural. Another thing I’m learning to do more often is to take the time to truly reflect. This has a truly profound, healing effect on my emotions, and it helps me identify the sticking points in my life and prevent the associated emotions from recurring as often. It also helps me recognize patterns and respond in a timely manner. At the core of all this is the fact that I meditate for between 5 and 20 minutes every day. Something else that makes me curious: How do you manage your emotions, Edwin?
