Life Mentoring is a step beyond life coaching; it is a professional partnership in which mentor and mentee work together to clarify areas the mentee would like to improve, reclaim inner joy, and work toward achieving their desired outcomes. Mentoring is distinct from consulting because the mentor will help the mentee to come up with their own answers and may offer some educational resources. It is different from therapy in that mentor and mentee will address obstacles that keep the mentee from achieving their goals and finding joy. Still, mentor and mentee will not engage in treatment or any psychological area that requires training and licensing. However, mentoring sometimes overlaps with coaching. Both aim to bring the best out of the mentee. They have the answers they are looking for within themselves. The mentor’s role is to be a facilitator and, some times, an advisor who gives the support the meente needs during the life mentoring process, which is customized to meet mentee’s needs.

Hypnosis is the bridge to the Subconscious Mind.

The Subconscious Mind dictates 90% of our behaviors. The Subconscious Mind is in charge of our emotions, intuition, creativity, imagination, memories, problem-solving skills, and instincts. There we can also find our limiting beliefs and stuck emotions that prevent us from reaching our potential and developing a more successful and meaningful life.

The superconscious mind is the source of our creative potential and psychic abilities, and it is the part of our mind that transcends time and space and accesses the quantum soup we live in.

Time and space are human constructs. As Einstein explained, these concepts are relative. Although we are not aware of the superconscious mind in our awakened state, it is there holding all the resources we need to have a whole and meaningful life. We naturally go into hypnosis seven to ten times a day. For example, when we daydream, when we go for a walk or run without any electronics that distract us, or when we are looking for the car key and it is in our hand already.

First, you will experience what is called induction, which is relaxation. It allows the conscious mind to settle down and access the subconscious mind. Next, the Hypnotist will flood the client’s subconscious mind with positive and healthier messages called suggestions.

In the end, the Hypnotist will help the client to come out of hypnosis in a gradual yet quick process.

The result is a wonderful feeling of well-being. Ten minutes of hypnosis is equivalent to two hours of restful sleep. That is why clients feel so good and energized after a hypnosis session. It is important to remember that the client has total control over the hypnosis. The client is aware of what is going on during the session and will just accept suggestions that are in agreement with their goals.

No. You are in control the entire time. You will feel more relaxed and aware. But no one has any power or control over your mind or body. Some hypnotists say “sleep” during the induction (the relaxation phase), but it is just an expression. The word sleep can be substituted by relax.

Emotional Freedom Technique, E.F.T., was created by Gary Craig, a Stanford-trained engineer and personal performance coach, in 1995. Emotional Freedom Technique (E.F.T.), also known as tapping, is a technique where you tap with your fingertips on acupuncture points around the body to release stress, worries, pain, and negative beliefs. The body is composed of meridians and energy centers that are connected to cells, nerves, organs, thoughts, and emotions. E.F.T. is based on the idea that a thought or memory from hardship or stress can cause disruption and blockages in the body’s electromagnetic energy system. By tapping these points, the body releases stress, relax, and balance is restored in the body and mind!

Mindfulness Meditation is a relief for a busy mind. It is the awareness of what is happening in our minds, moment by moment, without judgment. It soothes the mind, reinvigorates the soul, and relaxes the body. By learning how to switch from the doing mode of the mind to the being mode, we become aware of our inner world and all the resources we have to cope with any situation in our lives. When we meditate, we travel to the present moment, our real destination. When we meditate, we undress the worries or escapism of the future as well as the regrets or resentments from the past that our minds carry around, and just be.

• It can reduce stress symptoms, such as low energy, constant worries, deep sadness, and improve mood and relationships.
• Mindfulness also decreases ruminative thoughts, reduces stress arousal, and increases the positive state of mind.
• Mindfulness-based Meditation can be practiced in many ways, for example, by sitting comfortably in a chair, walking, doing chores, and so on.

Restorative Yoga is the art and the science of rest! Restorative Yoga is for everyone; there is no need for previous experience with Yoga. It is a practice that aims for total relaxation of the body and mind through resting poses. The emphasis is on the quality of the poses rather than the quantity. Although the poses are usually held between three to fifteen minutes, I work with short periods (approximately 3 minutes), so the physical body has enough time to restore and rejuvenate itself without causing discomfort. Thus, the student will learn to keep relaxed, which is a protective factor against stress and its unhealthy consequences.

According to Dr. Orloff, empaths are people more sensitive than HSP (Highly Sensitive People) described by psychologist Elaine Aron. Nonetheless, they have some features in common, such as they are very sensitive to light, loud and annoying voices and sounds, strong smells, and they don’t feel comfortable in crowded places like malls, airports, football fields, and so on.

Empaths and HSP are people with good hearts. They are good listeners and like to make people feel better. That is the reason the majority of them choose some kind of helping profession. It is not easy to be an empath or HSP because most people are not one and they don’t know how to deal with people who are empaths and HSP. The complications are that being an empath is not an ailment or a health condition; it is a more constructive way of being human.

General classification of empaths described by Dr. Orloff that is also valid for HSP.

1. Physical Empaths: the ones who absorb the physical symptoms of others; the good and bad ones.
2. Emotional Empaths:  the ones who absorb the feelings and emotions of others; the pleasant and the not pleasant ones.
3. Intuitive Empaths: the ones who have extra sensorial perceptions such as:
4. Telepathic Empaths: who get information telepathically.
5. Precognitive Empaths: who get premonitions about the future while sleeping or awake.
6. Dream Empaths: who can receive information about others in their dreams.
7. Mediumship Empaths: can access spirits that made the transition.
8. Plant Empaths: can contact plants and know their needs.
9. Animal Empaths: can communicate with animals and know their needs.
10. Earth Empaths: are the ones who are attuned to the changes in the planets and the solar system.

If you see yourself in the above general classification, know that you are very needed on this planet at this time. You make all the difference in the world.
