Better Decision Making – Three Intelligences Within

October 16, 2022October 17, 2022
by Nora Yolles-Young

Life can be miserable, depressing and challenging with the chaos of the times we’re in.

From the global pandemic, and threats of war to fears of safety and economic collapse.

It’s easy to feel lost, confused and that heavy dread that keeps us stuck in our tracks, wondering what the best nexts steps might be.

Looking around for resources and answers can feel as if we’re falling head long into a bottomless rabbit hole. There’s so much advice out there that it’s tough to know who’s right.

My recommendation to you is to lean into what feels true and in congruence with your head, heart and gut brains. When combined and accessed in conjunction with the intelligence that is the life force energy that animates your body, you will have what you need to make better decision in your life.

The 3 brains

Heart Brain – Soul Portal – When it comes to making decisions, this is the access point to your soul. Who wouldn’t want that as a resource for making your best decisions? The intelligence of this window to the soul can not be underestimated. This is also the gateway to understanding the experience of unconditional love. Initially, the heart brain can be shut down and become walled off with all kinds of scar tissue and fortifications of protection from life’s hurts. This can cause us to forget how to work with the heart brain. To ignore and misunderstand its purpose. The good news is, the heart can heal and open to become a huge asset to you in your life. The first easy step is to acknowledge and decide that the heart is a resource and that you are willing to start listening to what it has to share with you. That is the initiation.

When learning how to access the heart brain, it helps to get familiar with the location of the energy that is the heart-soul portal. It is an energy center located just beneath the sternum. Get comfortable with putting your hand there to get familiar with the felt experience of connecting with the heart. It also helps to use your imagination to activate the energy centers in your body. When connecting with the wisdom that is flowing through your heart-soul portal, have a clear question in mind. I recommend asking the head brain last. Initially, the head brain will make it’s opinions known no matter what energetic resource you’re tapping into. That’s ok. Get familiar with the voices of the different aspects of you and the information that’s flowing through. Place your hand on your heart center and imagine breathing through the heart. Feel the heart open in the breath. Then ask your question. Notice the very first answer that comes through. Then notice if there is a contrary voice that pops in. If so, that’s simply the intellect or head brain doing what it thinks it needs to do to protect you. Do your best not to worry about it. It’s just not familiar with you accessing the other intelligences. Remember, the head brain is not your enemy, it’s your friend, it’s just not used to having you listen to your higher level intelligence and it feels a little competitive. Over time, you will establish trust between the various brains. The heart and gut brains don’t concern themselves with the head brain’s point of view. The heart and gut are most sovereign and aligned with your inner wisdom than your head brain is for the time being. It’s not that you’re not going to trust the head brain, instead, you’re going to recruit additional powerful resources to help you make your best decisions.

Gut Brain – Body Wisdom – This is your direct connection to all knowing when it comes to your body, your inner yes’s and no’s as well as what is empowering to you. In essence, the gut is the authority on what is authentically aligned with your human self. Give it a try sometime. When you’re tuning into something about your health, or wanting to know if you should make a decision, tune into your gut. Again, be mindful, that the head brain often wants to override the wise life force that flows through the physical body.

When starting, a good rule of thumb is to have a clear question. Next, focus on your solar plexus region, that space just above the belly button. Sometimes placing your hand on your belly helps to bring your focus more fully there. Then ask the question. The correct answer is likely the very first most immediate answer you get. The head will often hop in a split second after that first answer. People new to this level of inner listening will often doubt what is coming through because of the mixed messages. It might help to know that the head brain is simply butting in because it’s used to running the show.

Head Brain – Earth Knowledge – This brain refers to the intelligence that you gain while being human here on Earth. It’s the brain that is perceiving your conscious perception of reality. All of your beliefs, perceptions of truth and the way you feel you should be experiencing your life come through the head brain. It’s also the practical, biological access point of all the things we currently understand the brain to do. From the perspective of the work I do, the intellect is the executive thinker, the ego, the one who is the driving force in the human life. It’s the one who has a real belief about who and what you are, and if left to its own devices, will shut out all other intelligences to become the solo player in your life. This part of us is not a “bad guy” it’s simply an aspect of you that has been running the show and is doing it’s best to work overtime on your behalf. It doesn’t yet know that there are other intelligent contributing aspects of you that can help out with the heavy lifting. When you’re reaching out to the intelligence of the head brain, I don’t need to give you tips about that. You already do that all the time. Just ask the brain to do what it does and notice what it says.

These three very distinct intelligences, when combined and used in tandem are powerful internal resources that are often underutilized or overshadowed by the highly over accessed intellect or head brain. We highly honor head brain over heart and gut brain in our society. My goal is to help you become more intelligent by accessing more of your intelligence. You are more than your head brain.

Bypassing the mental chatter box

There are steps you can take to quiet that mental chatter box. I’ll cover that in another post. For now, my best advice is to tune into the three brains first thing in the morning before the mental chatter box has fully awakened. Another good time to tune in is after a great workout or meditation.

So the next time you need to make a decision. Tune into your three brains to gain more clear inner guidance.

Steps

Have a clear question
Ask the heart brain – get the answer – Write it down.
Ask the gut brain – get the answer – Write it down
Ask the head brain and notice what happens. It may or may not agree with what is flowing through. If not, you can explore having a dialog with the various brains. Through dialoging, come to an agreement or strategy using the three brains.
Have fun with it!

Remember, 3 brains are better than 1!

Rush. The legacy that inspires my work

September 19, 2022
by Nora Yolles-Young

I’ve always been a big Rush fan. If you know Rush, you know that their fan’s tend to be rather geeky and philosophical. One of the things that stands out to me about Rush is that they met in High School and they stayed together for 40 years. The band mates always enjoyed one another’s company and they always strove for excellence. Geddy Lee, the lead singer and bassist said in a recent documentary that their fans gave them the freedom to become who they were. And I, being the Rush nerd that I am, contemplate the deeper meaning of what a world might be like if we all had that level of love and support. Would we all thrive?

Although that is not something I can really know the answer to, I can consider that there are 3 key things that I see in the longevity of Rush and their thriving.

* Doing something that they love with those they love.

* Commitment to excellence.

* Resilience through intentional focus.

When we combine these 3 elements in the expression of our own lives, we become the Rock Stars of our own experience. What that Rock Stardom looks like is unique to everyone of us. Yet the fact remains, we can show up in life like a Rush, or a Led Zeppelin, or like a half-tuned, unpracticed lounge club act. We get to choose and the only one really judging is you.

What is your legacy?

We can all find solace in these key notions, because they remind us that even, sweet, nerdy, nice, thoughtful, people can achieve what might seem impossible. I’ve certainly been inspired to re-connect with my Rush filled roots and dive into the multi layered cocophany of lyic, sound, rhythm and soul expression.

We may not have the magnificent Neil Peart here in physical form to amaze us with his rhythmic precision and his lyrical genius, but we do have Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, the legacy of inspiration and one-of-a-kind musical gravitas of 40 years of Rush to remind us what being human is all about.

Is it time to create your inner Rock Star Legacy?

Innately good NOT evil

August 26, 2022August 26, 2022
by Nora Yolles-Young

Contrary to popular belief
you were born innately good, NOT innately flawed.
When you understand this, you can drop the battle within.
The battle with the angel and devil on your shoulders.
The wrong or flawed.
The winner or the loser.
When you understand that those parts of you are
simply remnants of the conditioning you’ve picked up through
the experience of being a person in this wild and whacky world.
The battle can end.
You can get on with living and stop having to use your vital life energy
to hide, shoved away and keep your ‘demons’ at arms length
without fear of becoming them.
That was a lie you’ve been told.
You are not those things.
Because they’re NOT you.
You are comprised of something entirely more awesome.
Find congruence with your true, authentic, innate GOODNESS.

Valuing other’s opinions over your own

August 9, 2022August 9, 2022
by Nora Yolles-Young

Do you ever feel like you know what you want until you talk to
someone else about it, and they tell you what they think you
“should” do, or what you “need” to do?
Then you do what they say to do, and it turns out not at all the
way you wanted or expected it.
If you’d just gone with what you thought was right for you, it
would have been far better of an outcome.
But you shoved your insight aside.
You thought openly, maybe they know something I don’t.
Here’s the thing.
It didn’t work, because you didn’t check it with what you already
know in your heart to be true.
There is no other person in the universe that knows what
is better for you than, you guessed it, you!
I get it!
There’s no blame here.
This same thing has happened to me too!
It’s something that I felt frustrated by for years!
I’m the kind of person who loves to take on people’s information
and try it on for size.
But what used to happen when I did that is I took
it too far.
I let the opinions of others become my opinions.
I squelched my insight and shoved it aside only to take on theirs.
I chose to value other people’s opinions over my own.
But here’s the thing.
You have something within you that is perfectly customized.
A delivery system that gives you the perfect truth, data, insight
and guidance for you on your unique path.
It knows your trials and tribulation.
It knows how ready you are.
It loves you unconditionally.
It is designed to make your life easier.
It want’s you to succeed in achieving your hearts desire in life.
I’m talking about is your consciousness.
You can also call it inner awareness.
It’s not the same thing as your thoughts.
It’s connected to what you feel, and it’s spot on, powerful, and
just for you, every time.
The information you get is specific to you.
Not your parents opinion of who you should be.
Not your well meaning friends understanding of you.
Not your coaches multimillion dollar understanding of you.
It is the technology of your soul wisdom.
Communicating in real time.
Streaming.
Always.
You have this amazing, robust gadgetry within you, but you don’t
use it.
But it’s there.
In the back ground.
Ready to have your back.
When you don’t use it.
Other people’s opinions become easier to hear.
Accessing it is a learnable skill.
It’s like an app upgrade, but within you.
Once you know it, you get the full benefit of that upgrade.
You get to truly know thy self.
When you work with someone one on one to develop your skill,
the potential of what is possible becomes infinite.
That person must know how to help you hear your own authentic
truth.
Able to be truly client centered in your authentic soveriegn truth.
Imagine how amazing your life can be! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

3 Essential Phases of Transformation

August 1, 2022
by Nora Yolles-Young

Building resilience by understanding the
3 Essential Phases of Transformation
We are all going through transformation in life.
Transformation builds resilience if we let it.
The goal is to develop practices that support resilience building, provide insight and resourcefulness when we emerge on the other side.
There are 3 main phases of transformation:
Like a book there is a beginning, middle and end.
There are 3 key main phases of transformation to pay attention to. I call these phases: The initiation, Riding the Wave, and Completion.
The Initiation – This is when something happens that shakes up the rhythm of your life. An experience that tells you,
“we’re not in Kansas anymore!”.
An event or experience has happened in your life that cannot be ignored. T
This is the Initiation phase.
The next phase.
Riding the wave – This is the phase where the change is happening, like a storm or a tidal wave it’s blowing through your life. It can be sudden like a bomb blast, gradual and slow moving like a lazy river, or somewhere in between.
However your experiencing this event. It’s all about riding that wave, because it’s here, and it’s happening, and it cannot be ignored.
The key here, is TRUST. Trust that you have what it takes to get through it. Even if you or others have told you otherwise in the past.
Trusting that whatever comes, you have what it takes to get through it.
The good news is, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT.
Instead, consider it an opportunity to let go of and to ride the wave of what is in front of you. One step at a time.
Ride the waves of your emotions. Acknowledge them as they come up. and TRUST
This is the time to draw upon all of your resources, internal and external.
When you let yourself bend into the challenges and move away from being defined by them, by becoming the observer of the experience you’re having, and letting them move through. You can release the need to control the uncontrollable. Trust that you will eventually get back to shore. You will arrive on the other side of the experience.
During transformative events, there will be moments of rest. Like little coves along the river bank. Take the rest and downtime when the opportunity arises. Worrying about when the next wave will hit will only stress, and deplete you; reducing your ability to stand in balance and strength.
When you do this, it has a cumulative effect.
It builds your inner muscles of resilience to reinforce your strength through adversity.
Do not judge yourself for needing more down time than
necessary. Just give it to yourself. It won’t always be like that.
Eventually, you get to the phase of Completion – This is when you finally reach shore after being out in tumultuous seas of transformation.
Completion is an important time not to be missed.
When you honor the process of transformation as an inevitable
phase of the transformational experience, you have another
options than to be defined or victimized by what’s happening.
You’ll know you’re complete when you feel an internal shift within, like a feeling of encapsulation. You will feel it in your bones. It will feel like closure.
This is a win! 😍
No matter how big or small the transformation has been. Taking the time to acknowledge the journey you’ve just navigated anchors the experience within you as a valuable learning experience to draw upon in future life events.

Emotion

The Wisdom of Emotion

June 14, 2022June 14, 2022
by Nora Yolles-Young

The wisdom of emotion.

I love my work. I have the best job in the world.

I get to help people like you find their way to fulfillment.

That Je ne sais quoi that one knows only when they feel it.

That feeling of connection, passion and purpose.

It’s something all people crave, yet seems so illusive, difficult to

find. I help people find what’s truly ineffible.

When you understand what fuels you in life,

what brings you deep connection and satisfaction,

blocks to fullfillment collapse.

Most are not surprised to learn that they’ve been conditioned to

ignore and distract themselves away from the information that

will elegantly lead them to where they’re really wanting to go.

What is it that is being missed?

Emotion.

I see it all the time. Clients who thought they had figured it out,

did all the things,

followed all the rules,

twisted themselves into a pretzel to make it all happen

became very successful,

reached the pinnacle of what they thought they wanted,

and it felt

empty.

Shocked to find that the one thing that they’d gotten very good

at is ignoring the part of themselves that gives them the most

direct guidance to fulfillment, joy, passion and purpose they

could ever want or need.

To nimbly shut down and deny that information the moment it

presents itself.

I show people how the special sauce that they’re looking for is

already there.

They just shut it out and ignored it.

When clients understand that they don’t have to shut down their

emotions, that they’re actually hugely informative aspects of

themselves, it’s a total game changer.

They want to dive in and understand what they’ve been missing

all these years.

To get to really know and understand themselves on a soul level.

And it makes sense to them.

It feels authentic.

It feels true.

Learn how to access your full life expression and discover your

path back to the joy that’s waiting for you.

You are enough.
You may have beliefs that contradict that.
You may have had experiences that cause you to doubt that.
You may have been told the oppsite.

That time is over.
It’s now time for you decide
who is running the show.
There is freedom from this feeling.
A life beyond.

The cell door is unlocked.
Your freedom awaits.

Your Bridge to a Less Anxious Life

August 31, 2021August 31, 2021
by Nora Yolles-Young

Contrary to popular belief, you are brand new in every moment.

Your consciousness is the bridge to your less anxious life, but the reason you doubt what I’m telling you right now, is that you

have a system of beliefs that keep you stuck in a perpetual cycle of anxious thought loops that are re-generated in each linear

moment.

Freedom is available to you right now, but you must be willing open to the possibility of radically shifting the way you do things.

It doesn’t need to be difficult.

What’s required is a willingness to throw out the old, outdated play book and consider that there might be more effective ways of

being well in this life.

To give yourself permission to reconsider the way anxious thinking effects your life.

A common way to see our negative patterns of thoughts and behavior is to marginalize them.

To hate on them.

We’re taught to think of our problems as cancers to take a drug for or have a surgeon slice it out and remove them.

But there is a way to take the bitter battle out of the equation.

And it does not require drugs or surgery!

This new way paradigm of thought, in other words, long lasting transformation happens when people are really truly ready to

move away from what’s not working and commit to adopting new more nourishing ways of being.

Even if that means shifting away from negative behaviors that although negative, provide some level of comfort.

When it comes to consciousness shifting – changing the old programs of the mind – there’s got to be total ‘buy in’ by the client.

That is because the subconscious mind will only take in what is believable.

Yet, knowing that change is possible is enough for anyone to give it a good college try, right?

The way I like to lead into building an understand of what this new paradigm of thought might be like is like changing the scale on

a map.

Imagine zooming in for more detailed clarity, zooming out for more big picture perspective, or a third option, zooming to a

space in the perceptual gray area of perception.

Hypnosis brings you there.

Wherever your ‘there’ is.

Consider this perspective shift:

A shift from a linear time progression forward in life, to a quantum, streaming-in-the-moment, all perspectives access to reality.

Yet if it’s as easy as playing with zooming map perspectives, why are humans struggling with anxiousness and worry so much?

It’s because we as a collective have fallen into a pattern of thought that prevents us from feeling safe.

What causes us to feel safe?

When our primary needs have been met.

If we’re anxious, the mind and body can’t feel safe.

We’re in fright/flight mode.

When we’re in FF Mode, we lose track of the ability to grow.

Because to our subconscious programming, we’re not thriving, we’re under threat.

The thing about FF Mode is, it becomes the default program if we don’t do something to convince the mind/body complex that it’s

safe.

The intellect is the ‘driver’ of these programs.

The emotions are the expression of these programs.

So how do we change this old, no-longer-interesting paradigm of thought?

By understanding 2 simple things, we can create the bridge to your less anxious life.

Acknowledge your feelings and emotions.
Be the in-the-moment advocate and resource for providing for the needs of your emotional expression.

Acknowledgement of your feelings, sensations and emotions is key to becoming the quantum optimizer of your life experiences.

If you do nothing other than simply saying to yourself, I acknowledge this feeling, sensation or emotion at the moment you are experiencing it, your life will change. This is because the reason you are having these experiences of feeling, emotion etc. is because it is the wisdom of your consciousness communicating what your mind/body complex needs in real-time.

By advocating for those in-the-moment bits of streaming data, you are employing the wisdom of all of the cells in your body, as well as allowing yourself to learn how to listen to the needs of your being in a way that shifts you out of FF Mode, and into wellness, thriving mode.

I think we can all agree, that we want that for everybody.

The funny thing is, this is just one simple thing you can do to build that inner bridge to your best life.

Trusting Yourself

June 14, 2021
by Nora Yolles-Young

When it comes to making decisions about you, The person that has access to all that is knowable is you. Every other voice external to you is simply an opinion that can contrasted with your inner knowing.

We’ve been taught and trained in life to believe that there are authorities outside ourselves that know better than we do. If you want external sources of guidance, that is perfectly fine too.

Consider this, who know’s your body, your sensations, your feelings better than you do. Who knows what you’ve been through better than you do?

Does a psychic?

A medium?

An energy healer?

An acupuncture practitioner?

A primary care physician?

A therapist?

They too can only see through the lens of their own experience.

The reason we heal in the care of others is our willingness to trust what they are offering.

When you trust what you are receiving within your thoughts, your sensations, and feelings about what is going on in your life, you decide what is resonant and true for you.

Think back to a time when you received an intuitive hit, a gut feeling where you knew something to be true. But then, once you noticed the hunch, you squashed it, doubted it only to find out that you were spot on all along.

As you move into deeper listening and trusting, there can be years of old patterns of thoughts and beliefs that clutter up your access. This is why having a trusted guide to support you in you self discovery can be a great asset to your healing team.

If you’re ready to clean internal house and really tap into your inner wellspring on knowledge, I’d be honored to be along side you.
