How Many Sessions? To release the hurt and pain; to reprogram the subconscious mind for health, joy, and confidence; and then to reinforce all that healing and massive transformation I recommend 4 or 5 sessions depending on what you want to work on. Research from the University College of London shows that it takes around 66 days to create a new habit within the subconscious mind; that’s 10 weeks (2.5 months) for your subconscious to lock down new behaviors, ideas, feelings, and beliefs so they become as automatic as tying your shoes or walking. So I advise people who want…

You’re reading this email because someone had a dream. The books that inspire you the most are in print because somebody had a dream. You’re able to listen to your favorite music because someone had a dream. You keep returning to your favorite restaurant and ordering your favorite dish because someone had a dream.   The medicine that heals you, the robots on Mars, the fancy oven that cooks your food, the tires that roll you down the road, all the various things that touch your life are there because someone, somewhere, at some point woke up and said, “wouldn’t…

  I became a Hypnotherapist after being fascinated with the idea that you can give someone a sugar pill, a saline injection or even perform some fake surgery or give someone a fake treatment, and a certain percentage of those people through their belief that they will be healed will get better with a substance that has zero healing capability. Their body’s automated healing abilities take over and create the exact chemicals within their own physiology equal to the substance that they think they’re taking. That is the placebo effect. The placebo effect proves we have the capabilities to help…

“Here is the amazing thing: the caterpillar and the butterfly have the exact same DNA. “They are the same organism but are receiving and responding to a different organizing signal.” Dr. Bruce Lipton ___________________________________ You don’t choose between a program and no program. You choose between a conscious program and an unconscious program. If you’re not consciously working your program… You’re being worked by your unconscious program. So, no matter what is going on in life, despite our circumstances, we’re still in control of the most important factor affecting our success and our happiness: Our mindset and our actions. To…

    If you are unhappy, disappointed, and frustrated with your life and desperately trying to find a way to change it from the outside you will be destined to stay stuck. If you’re waiting for happiness and success to appear at your door, you’re wasting your time. It’s not going to happen. The first step in changing your life is to become the person you want to be mentally, emotionally, and physically. You will need to walk, talk and exude from your very core the person you want to become first, and then the Universe will go out of…

    “To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.” Johannes A. Gaertner (1912-1996) Professor of Art History and a much-admired poet and a theologian. So Now What? To say “thank you” when someone passes the salt is polite. To bring a bottle of wine or dessert when invited to someone’s house for dinner is a cool thing to do, as is sending a thank you card after someone gives you a birthday present. But how does one actually “live gratitude?” How does one live in…

    “Remember, happiness doesn’t depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.” Dale Carnegie An early leader of the personal development movement and author of many best selling books including How To Win Friends and Influence People.   So What Do You Think?

  Editors Note: This is a wonderful article by Hannah Seo and published in the New York Times on February 8th 2023. What Can Hypnosis Do for Your Health? This 200-year-old treatment can be effective for a variety of conditions, but it does take work. By Hannah Seo | Feb. 8, 2023 In the 1770s, a German physician named Franz Mesmer made a splash when he said he could cure physical and mental ailments by putting people in a trance to realign their magnetic fields. “Mesmerism” was popular for about a decade until it was publicly discredited in 1784, but…

  You may have seen people before bragging about how much they “hustle” or “grind”… As annoying as these people are… There is a method to their madness. You see, they don’t view motivation as binary… Either you’re motivated, or not at all. When really your motivation is always there… Just in lower amounts than other times. Here’s how I raise my motivation: Through visualization. Let’s say you have a motivation level of 10/100. Now visualize yourself turning up the dial to 100. What are the thoughts you’re having as you turn it up to 30, 50, and 80? Think…

You probably already know the importance of one’s mindset when it comes to making a change. As Henry Ford said, “If you think you can…or if you think you can’t…you’re right.”  So, I wanted to share a quick-change technique you can use if you have a list of things you “can’t” do. Sooner or later you may hear the litany of negatives from your friends, clients, TV, social media, or maybe even yourself. But you can now notice how easy it is to get a new perspective. Create this new positive perspective by using different language … What happens when…

    “People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. “But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.” Dr. Thomas Szasz Psychiatrist and Author   So Now What? If you are unhappy, disappointed and frustrated with your life and desperately trying to find a way to change it from the outside you will be destined to stay stuck.

    “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” Marcus Aurelius 121-180 AD, Roman Emperor and Philosopher   So Now What? What if it really was all up to you? What if your thoughts really created the happiness, joy and love you felt within you? If that was true, how would you start thinking differently about yourself and your world? Make thinking beautiful thoughts an automatic subconscious habit by taking time everyday to practice and train your thought patterns (just like you practiced and trained to walk, ride a bike, drive a car, play guitar)….

“Write your name in kindness, love, and mercy on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten. Your name and your good deeds will shine as stars in heaven.” Thomas Chalmers Scottish minister, professor of theology, political economist, and a leader of the Church of Scotland   So Now What? Seems simple enough. Be kind, loving and compassionate to others. Every day. What an amazing life it would be if you were constantly making people feel better. And wouldn’t you attract into your life people who were full of love,…

Inspiration of the Day “Love life, engage in it, give it all you’ve got. Love it with a passion, because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.” Maya Angelou American poet, author, and civil rights activist. Author of the New York Times best seller I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. So Now What? This makes a lot of sense. But in order to love life wouldn’t you need to start by loving yourself first? How is the love for life, and therefore other people, able to shine if you are “engaged” in disappointment,…

Inspiration of the Day “Be miserable.Or motivate yourself.Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.” Wayne DyerInternationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development.He’s the author of over 30 books including the New York Times bestseller 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace. So Now What? This is a hard concept to digest. If you buy into the notion that it is always your choice then it’s rather defeating to wallow in blame, guilt, resentment, anger and complaining. How could these emotions even remotely be essential to living a wonderful life? I won’t call them bad or…

Hypnotherapy can help with different emotional and health issues including sleep issues, eliminating fears and anxiety relief. Talk therapy works with the conscious mind where we have analytical thought, willpower, create goals, and plan. But according to neuroscientists that only makes up 5% of mind. The other 95% is the subconscious mind, which runs our bodily systems, stores our habits, creates emotions, and holds our beliefs, fears, and judgments about ourselves and the world around us. So whenever there is conflict between the analytical and the emotional minds, emotions win every time. It doesn’t matter how “illogical” it is to…

  The Story of Jim Thorpe his Olympic gold medals and his mismatched shoes … Jim Thorpe was the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States in the Olympics. Jim won two Olympic gold medals for track and field in the summer of 1912 (one for the pentathlon and one for decathlon). He went on to play American football, professional baseball and basketball. This photo is of Jim on the day he won those gold medals. You can see in the photo that he is wearing different socks and shoes. This isn’t because he was…

  Are You Worthy Or Not?   “Accepting our worthiness is a challenge for many of us and one we have been working on for a long time. One of the reasons we never seem to master it is because we’re working too hard at it. “You can never work hard enough to prove yourself worthy because you already are worthy.” Cyndi DaleAuthor of The Subtle Body: An Encyclopedia of Your Energetic Anatomy.   So Now What? Here is the big secret about worthiness. You can’t earn it, work for it, have it given to you, or buy it. You…

“Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.” Steve MaraboliAuthor of Unapologetically You and The Power of One. So Now What? Now that’s a powerful quote. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness. Once again this quote points out that the power lies with you. There is no room for victimhood in this quote. It doesn’t ask you to grasp onto the hurt and use it to justify your anger for years and years. It’s about release. Feel the hurt. Then start the releasing process. This quote is brilliant, healing,…

Emotional Healing and Relationships Heal the emotional hurts from your past and free up your energy to embrace the present. Resolving past pain is easier than you may think. Emotional hurt from your past can be effecting your experience joy, love and happiness in the present. Consciously or unconsciously, triggers may be bringing up old traumatic emotions from long ago or recently. As if it wasn’t bad enough to suffer it once, you have to go through it again and again.

The Power of the Placebo Effect I became a Hypnotherapist after being fascinated with the idea that you can give someone a sugar pill, a saline injection or even perform some fake surgery or give someone a fake treatment, and a certain percentage of those people through their belief that they will be healed will get better with a substance that has zero healing capability. Their body’s automated healing abilities take over and create the exact chemicals within their own physiology equal to the substance that they think they’re taking. That is the placebo effect.

Stimulating the Vagus Nerve Your nervous system is your body’s command center. Your nervous system guides almost everything you think, say, feel, or do. It controls complicated processes like movement, thought and memory. Your nervous system affects learning and feelings, as well as, every aspect of your health, including your: Originating from your brain, a vast network of nerves sends electrical signals all over your body, to and from other cells, glands, and muscles. These nerves receive information from the world around you. Then the nerves interpret the information and control your response. It’s an enormous information superhighway connecting your…

Are You Committed or Just Interested? The Difference Between ‘Interested’ in changing your life and being ‘Committed’ to changing your life… Brain blocks are a part of everyday life. It might come in the form of procrastination, where an assignment or project just seems too daunting to even begin. It could also look like depression, giving up on goals due to previous failures, or even the mere thought of failing. Whether it’s a physical, mental or emotional block, I believe you can start moving towards the life of your dreams and achieving by answering this question: “Are you ‘interested’ or…

The Healing Power of Sleep This should wake you up: analysis of recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data of more than a half million Americans found a strong correlation between an individual’s level of happiness and the amount of sleep or rest a person gets each day. There was no direct correlation between feeling happy and having a higher income, educational achievement, being fit and thin, or having a job. In other words, this study shows that happiness has nothing to do with money, your job, education, or fitness. The single greatest factor identified by people who…

This is one of my most favorite quotes: “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” Buckminster Fuller It goes back to the idea that solution to the problem is never found within the problem. Or like another quote I really love: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them. We have to learn to think in a new way.” Albert Einstein (though it may actually have been said by Ram Dass) So the techniques I teach you in our…

Stress, worry, fear and anxiety are common experiences for most people. And to a certain degree a certain amount of fear and anxiety is just part of life and some stress is actually helpful. It keeps us away from potentially dangerous situations, walking down a dark alley at midnight, getting too close to the edge of the Grand Canyon, keeping us from petting the nice snake rattling its tail but your subconscious mind may have mistakenly confused real danger like a dark alleyway or a rattlesnake with something that isn’t as life threatening like giving a speech, going on a…

1. It’s highly effective and transformative. There was a client who was having trouble moving forward in her career. She refused to get up and make presentations at meetings and she also declined offers to manage projects. She also had no social life and no relationship. At her third hypnotherapy session she remembered how in the 5th grade the teacher asked her to come to the blackboard and spell the word “cat”. Well, she spelled it “kat” and the whole class erupted into hysterics, laughing at her and ridiculing her, plus the teacher got really angry at her for not…
