Bilateral stimulation is a process of inducing an altered state of consciousness by stimulating alternate sides of the brain. The stimulus distracts the subjects attention as he or she attempts to look inward and induces a hypnotic effect. This light hypnotic effect occurs while identical information is flowing into both hemispheres of the brain slightly out of sync. As the brain responds to the dissonance, habitual ways of thinking begin to crumble the brain begins to rebalance; and mental, emotional and spiritual healing begins to unfold.
The altered state of consciousness achieved through bilateral stimulation provides the proper set of conditions for the client to first “desensitize” the feelings, thoughts and beliefs surrounding the original traumatic event and then to “reprocess” that experience with new insight, understanding and perspective.
Bilateral stimulation is an excellent tool for breaking the trances of habitual thinking. It is an effective process for revealing faulty beliefs and then for discovering and embracing new positive core beliefs to create a more joyful and fulfilling life!
