Reviving Your Body's Natural Immune Response:

Immersive-Healing is an immunotherapeutic mind-body approach to healing cancer & chronic illness. It is based on three basic premises [1]:

1. The body’s natural immune-system is designed to defend against all illnesses, cancer included.

2. Harmful states of mind (primarily stress, hopelessness, etc.) and negative subconscious programming can suppress the immune system.

3. If these harmful states of mind can be resolved and healed, the immune response can be revived and cancer prevented or healed.

In essence, all healing is self-healing, and at the root of every healing process is the decision to be in control of this process.  Healing will take place naturally in the body when unresolved emotional patterns and and past conditioning are addressed. 

Failing to do so, the internal subconscious calling for self-punishment and mutilation (root cause) will continue.  In order for the healing of the body to take place, we need to have a healing of the mind.

Part of what defines us as human-beings is that we are emotional beings, capable of expression. Sometimes, though, it seems safer to suppress hurts and pains rather than express them.

It can be overwhelming, or even a bit frightening to open up and let go of our fears, anger, guilt and shame or even admit to their existence.

From a mind-body perspective, suppressed and unresolved emotional conflicts and trauma, compounded over the years, build an internal pressure. Any illness, including chronic disease or cancer, can be caused, worsen or aggravated by this internal pressure. 

The by-product of the internal pressure is a state of disease. It is the non-physical aspects of the diseas that fules it i.e. self-limiting beliefs, distorted self-image and emotional pain. These aspects translate via the natural mind-body connection into the environment within the physical body.

Such a stressful internal environment is likely to develop a state of physical disease.

To facilitate and promote self-healing of these non-physical aspects, two powerful dynamic and therapeutic tools, hypnotherapy [2] and Neuro-Linguistic Programming [3], have been combined.  These techniques have been around for some time, and have proved effective individually. However, integrated into one healing modality, their efficacy increases.
