Last week we talked about my I Command Self-healing technique that I use and teach clients. I Command Self-healing combines working with our spiritual support and self-hypnosis to command our thoughts, feelings, and the cells in our body in the ways we want. I spoke of my client with the knee injury. We’ve been using hypnosis, self-hypnosis and I Command Self-healing to get her past a healing block and avoid a 3rd surgery. I Command can also be used to move out of negative emotions, create our enhanced emotional state and attract what we want and like.
