Move Forward and Let Go All Fear

by Janyelle Huff

The tool of hypnosis is truly a tool to help one overcome, release, move forward and let go all fear.

Whatever you call the symptom/ action/ habit you are fearing to change on your own, is your own block from doing so. Hypnosis allows one to relax, let go and accept new programming opposite of the fear or behavior.

Going deeper into reprogramming is simply changing the flow of blood or pathway in the mind to flow in a new direction for a new or wanted behavior.

Now, thinking of that for a moment, let’s go deeper and look at the trigger factor that allows the behavior to occur.

Coping with Pain

“Coping with Pain”

by Kelley Woods, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

Living with pain is exhausting and can make a person feel hopeless and isolated, especially when it feels like there are no more options than to just “live with it”.

While pain can serve a valuable purpose, capturing in case of the need for medical care, sometimes this signal can get stuck, even when the body is healed, keeping the sufferer stuck in a loop of chronic misery.

Unassisted Changes Are Very Difficult

Unassisted Changes Are Very Difficult

With the beginning of this new year, you have probably made some great resolutions like ” Wow, this is going to be the year that I am going to quit smoking, lose weight..or just fill in your resolution. By February any thought of change has usually gone South. Why, we might ask ourselves?

The reason is that as time goes on we have a hard time visualizing what it would look like not having this habit, and therefore, we can’t visually see what this change would look like. Unassisted changes are very difficult. This is why by February most people have given up on their resolutions.

With hypnotherapy you actually have a chance to see what it looks like to be smoke free, to be at our ideal weight, or you can just fill in the blank of the thing that you would like to change. In hypnosis you are taken to a very relaxed place, very close to sleep so that in your minds eye you can see this transformation actually taking place. Hypnosis takes you down the path of recovery. This very pleasant vehicle for change is unlike any thing else. It is the easiest, most relaxing way to make changes in your life and get yourself on a path of your choosing.

Allow yourself to be the person that you have always dreamed of being. It only takes a phone call or an email and you can be where you want to be for the rest of your life.

Professional Help for New Years Resolutions

“Professional Help for New Years Resolutions”

by James Hazlerig

It’s no secret that most new years resolutions are doomed to a short and difficult life, rarely making it to February. Like tomato seeds planted with the best of intentions, they sprout, fresh and eager, into the new day, but if under-watered, over-watered, denied sunlight, or given no framework to grow on, they wither within a month.

Commitment itself is great, but it’s only the first step. So why do so many resolutions fail? Because it’s easy to decide to make a change, but difficult to maintain the change. And while gardening may be suitable for a hobbyist, change work is a more complex matter.

That’s where a professional can come in. Hypnosis practitioners are trained experts in helping people like you execute and maintain change over time. With the help of a specialist, you can move beyond merely planting the seeds of new years resolutions to reaping the harvest of an all-year success.

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…SLEEP

Where did we get the idea that when our head hits the pillow we should just be able to instantly fall asleep. With this in mind, we seem to always disappoint ourselves when this magic doesn’t just happen.
