Debunking the Myths: Fabián Tejada Reveals the Science Behind NLP and Hypnosis

Published Thu, 27 Feb 2025 08:23:56 GMT

www.oscarpereira.myportfolio.comNeuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that integrates thoughts, language, and patterns of behavior learned through experience to achieve specific personal and professional outcomes. Its inception was aimed at replicating the strategies of successful individuals in order to create a roadmap to success for everyone.However, despite its widespread use, NLP continues to be shrouded in mystery and misunderstandings, often dismissed as pseudoscience by skeptics. According to Fabián Tejada, an author, and prominent Master NLP trainer, one of the reasons why this field has been clouded in uncertainty and mistrust is because of a prevalent—yet groundless—belief that NLP, and hypnosis in general, is a suitable tool for manipulation. As the sole NLP Master trainer in Latin America certified by the creator of advanced NLP, he stands out as a foremost expert in the field within the region.Tejada argues this couldn’t be further from the tru...

When Ginger DeClue became chronically ill in 2009, she didn’t know where to start.Now? She’s eliminating symptoms everywhere through studying eyes.Iridology, a holistic and age-old practice, is the study of the iris’s colors and patterns to determine information about that person’s health.“The iris is divided into multiple zones, each of which represents a different aspect or organ of the human body. This helps me as an iridologist determine which organs and systems in the body are under stress and at risk of developing specific conditions,” DeClue stated.The health guru’s interest in iridology stems from her own experience with an accurate iridology reading, she said.“The iridologist was so accurate in describing some past health issues I had struggled with; but what was more fascinating was how my eyes drastically changed the more I changed my body,” DeClue stated.Detoxification is a natural modality designed to remove toxins from the body, DeClue said. This can help humans get ri...

Introducing Jung Hoo Lee, SF Giants finally have a reason to celebrate

Published Thu, 27 Feb 2025 08:23:56 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — It had been so long since the Giants had hosted one of these that Farhan Zaidi found himself wondering Friday morning the last time he wore a tie.Devoid of postseason baseball for all but five games in 2021, absent any marquee acquisitions to parade in front of fans and media, the Giants’ top baseball executive has had no reason to dress up. Likewise, the absence of a proper interview room has largely gone unnoticed.But, officially introducing $113 million dollar man Jung Hoo Lee, that changed Friday.“It’s been a while,” Zaidi said off to the side of the makeshift stage erected in the home clubhouse. “I think my level of discomfort is an indication of how long it’s been. But it’s fun. It’s an exciting day.”Going with an orange, silk number, Zaidi was happy to be upstaged by the 25-year-old one seat to his left in a shimmering black suit, red tie and a K-pop haircut.The Giants are taking risk, awarding the franchis...

‘Dying on their watch’: Newsom criticizes Santa Clara County for slow-walking conservatorship reform

Published Thu, 27 Feb 2025 08:23:56 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday accused Santa Clara County of delaying new conservatorship reforms aimed at bringing more homeless people off the street and into treatment — and warned of potential penalties for dragging their feet.The reforms are part of a controversial bill Newsom signed this year to ease restrictions on those who can be ordered into treatment centers against their will. During a briefing with reporters, the governor singled out Santa Clara, and a handful of other counties outside the Bay Area, for not phasing in the changes until 2026.“The counties are the frontlines of this battle to address the crisis of our time, and that’s what’s happening on the streets and sidewalks,” he said. “They have to do their job with a deeper sense of urgency. They have to recognize people are dying on their watch.”County officials did not respond directly Friday to Newsom’s criticisms. Reform backers argue the current conservatorship syst...

Coroner: Matthew Perry died from effects of ketamine

Published Thu, 27 Feb 2025 08:23:56 GMT

By Andrew Dalton | Associated PressLOS ANGELES — Matthew Perry died from the acute effects of the anesthetic ketamine, according to the results of an autopsy on the 54-year-old “Friends” actor released Friday.The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner said in the autopsy report that Perry also drowned in “the heated end of his pool,” but that it was a secondary factor in his Oct. 28 death, deemed an accident.People close to Perry told investigators that he was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy, an experimental treatment used to treat depression and anxiety. But the coroner said the levels of ketamine in Perry’s body were in the range used for general anesthesia during surgery, and that his last treatment 1 1/2 weeks earlier wouldn’t explain those levels. The drug is typically metabolized in a matter of hours.The report says coronary artery disease and buprenorphine, which is used to treat opioid use disorder, also contributed.The amo...

Restaurant news: Alameda’s newest wine bar highlights drinks by women makers

Published Thu, 27 Feb 2025 08:23:56 GMT

Alameda has a new wine bar, and it comes with a mission: to highlight the products of women winemakers, brewers and proprietors.Mo’s Wine Bar aims to bring something new to the Alameda community, says owner and Alameda native Maura Passanisi. While plenty of restaurants in town have nice wine lists, few remain open past 9:30 or 10 p.m., she notes. This wine bar stays open until midnight.“I am really happy and excited to open a bar like this here,” she says. “I wanted a place like this for me.”Passanisi has worked in the wine industry for the past decade — including at High Treason and Ungrafted in San Francisco, Wine on Piedmont in Oakland and at the now-closed Alameda Wine Co. — and a few years ago, when she was at a local natural wine festival, noticed how women were underrepresented. So she cofounded a new festival, Della Donna, aimed at highlighting the work of female winemakers.The road to opening her own wine bar hasn’t been easy, though, es...
