Mindfulness Mode | Interviews & Mindful Tips With Bruce Langford

Or those two words may reveal to you why you’re struggling, why you’re not feeling grounded, why you experience scattered thoughts. Just think about those words for a second. How often do they pass through your thoughts? What if I don’t finish this report on time? What if that car veers over and hits me head-on? What if I get the corona virus?  We can start a million questions with WHAT IF, and does it do us any good? That’s something we could debate, but lets think for a second about children and how they think. Do any young children you know often ask the question, WHAT IF?  If they do, it’s probably because they’re learned that phrase from adults. In their most comfortable, happiest state, I’ve no

Transforming broken relationships using mindfulness is the topic today because my listener, Monica, responded to my request on a previous show. I asked listeners to send in show topic requests and then I'd send out a Mindfulness Mode mug to the person who submitted the topic I chose. That is Monica. Mindfulness Helps Having interviewed over 600 guests for Mindfulness Mode, I’ve certainly gained a lot of expertise on how mindfulness can help a lot of aspects of your life. I don’t consider myself a relationship expert, but I do know that mindfulness can make a huge difference when interacting with people and when building and growing relationships. Thinking way back, I remember my first wife getting really angry with me and taking off her ring, dropping it in my shirt pocket, and then telling me in no uncertain terms what I could do and where I could go.

Hypnosis, much like mindfulness, is a powerful state of focused awareness. Mindfulness can be used to become more grounded and more content. Hypnosis is a specific tool that can help uncover and dissolve the root cause of many issues people suffer from every day. Hypnosis allows you to access healing resources within the subconscious mind, promoting natural healing from within. Hypnosis is used to help people discover the subconscious reasons for their symptoms, behaviors, or habits. When these reasons are discovered, certain tools and techniques are used to help release them and relearn a new positive way of thinking, subconsciously. Hypnosis has been sanctioned and used by the medical community since 1958 to help patients overcome chronic pain, create anesthesia, and heal psychogenic illnesses.
