84. Healing Pain Through the Subconscious with Jim Curtis | Part 2
What if the key to healing chronic pain lies not in your conscious mind, but in learning to reprogram the 95% of consciousness that's actually running your life?
In this hands-on Part 2 with Jim Curtis, master hypnotherapist, transformational coach, and author, we move beyond theory into the practical application of subconscious healing. During a live hypnosis demonstration Jim demonstrates exactly how NLP and hypnosis work to eliminate limiting beliefs and physical pain stored in your body.
Jim's journey from 20 years of chronic pain to complete healing through quantum sessions led him to master these techniques, and now he's sharing the exact processes he uses with clients who've gone from despair to thriving businesses, marriages, and transformed lives.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ The fascinating science behind NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and why Tony Robbins became the king of coaching through mastering it
✨ How the specific words you use create chemical reactions in your body and reveal your deepest beliefs
✨ Jim's process for identifying trigger language that creates stress chemistry and keeps you stuck
✨ Why beliefs like "I am bad" get stored in childhood and how to reprogram them
✨ The difference between conscious and subconscious approaches to healing
✨ Step-by-step hypnosis technique from building rapport to flooding the body with healing energy
✨ Live hypnosis demonstration as Jim guides Emily through a complete session for physical tension relief
You'll witness the entire hypnosis process, from initial eye fixation and hand spreading techniques through deep trance induction with nature visualization, muscle relaxation, and energy work. Jim demonstrates how to access the subconscious mind while addressing specific physical issues and installing new positive patterns.
This episode bridges the gap between spiritual healing and practical neuroscience, showing exactly how beliefs become biology and how changing your internal programming can eliminate decades of suffering.
Jim's insights on shadow work, forgiveness, and why we unconsciously sabotage our own healing will transform how you approach personal transformation.
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, curious about hypnosis, or ready to stop limiting yourself to the 5% conscious mind, this episode delivers both the science and direct experience of subconscious reprogramming.
