Hypnotherapy & Healing

I have wanted to come out and write about healing in hypnosis, but up to now I have felt confined to the closet because most conventional medical practitioners think it's a joke, something for mass entertainment. The present-day doctor was brought up in the belief system of modern science that has driven allopathic medicine for the last one hundred and forty years. If the efficacy of a treatment has not been demonstrated in controlled clinical trials, it is unconventional, dangerous and can't be said to work, no matter... Read Full Article

 

Children & Hypnosis

There are many children's problems that hypnotherapy can help with. And, the great thing is that children are usually excellent hypnotic subjects. They have such wonderful imaginations that you can induce the hypnotic state easily and rapidly by getting them, for example, to imagine taking off in a space craft or taking part in their favorite television program or movie.

A surprisingly large percentage of childhood complaints stem from unresolved emotional issues. Many children, for example, who suffer from Bronchial... Read Full Article

 

Self-Hypnosis

Everyone has experienced a trance-like state many times.  We go into light hypnotic states every day of our lives.  Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming and not been aware of things happening around you?  Have you ever been so absorbed in a book or watching a movie that you haven't realized an hour or two has gone by? What about driving in your car and at the end of your journey not remembering a thing about the details of your journey?  These are all forms of hypnotic trance. The main difference between these...

The Mind Set of Healing

Have you ever wondered why some people get sick while others, who may be exposed to the same stresses or source of infection don't seem to be affected?  Some people's immune system is strong, helping them recover quickly while others may experience a prolonged, debilitating chronic illness. What determines whether and why a person gets sick?

Practitioners of acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, Reiki, Kinesiology, medical intuitives and other healers will often blame energy imbalances - blocks or leakages along... Read Full Article

 

Motivation & the Inner Game

I am often called upon in my hypnotherapy practice to help people motivate themselves more effectively.  This can extend to successfully thinking about your job or career, about making money and having abundance in your life, or to maximizing your sports performance.

Hypnosis can be a very effective way to motivate sportsmen and has been used for many years now for enhancing athletic performance, especially in baseball, tennis, football, boxing, skiing and golf. The techniques for helping to enhance sports performance... Read Full Article

 

Covert Hypnosis

Without being aware of it, we slip in and out of hypnosis all day long. When we drive that car to work each day on auto-pilot without remembering the details of the journey, we do so in a light hypnotic state. We automatically stop at the traffic lights, and obey highway driving rules without having to think. When we day dream, or get absorbed in watching a movie, or reading an interesting book or in the act of sexual intercourse, we are in light hypnosis. It is similar to the light hypnotic state we experience every... Read Full Article

 

Letting Go

We were recently burglarized.

I returned home just after nine in the evening and on entering the garage, I noticed the back door and frame had been smashed open. My heart leaped as I immediately realized that burglars had entered our house. When I opened the door, I saw the contents of every drawer in the house strewn over the floors and corridors. I felt angry and defiled. Painfully, we began the task of calling the police and Insurance Company, cleaning up, replacing the doors, determining what had been stolen and... Read Full Article
