A chance to get clear about what they really need and want.

•Can Hypnosis Transform a Spender Into a Saver?
Some people like spending money. It makes them happy to believe they are experiencing all life has to offer. They enjoy transforming hours of work into hours of pleasure by spending what they make on what they enjoy.
The problem begins when spending outstrips saving. It can happen quickly in our current economy. (Even job searching costs money!)
You’ve heard advice about balancing assets and expenditures, making a budget, looking for bargains, skipping non-necessities and recording every...
•Creative Miserablization: Are You Practicing it Daily?
You’ve probably heard of creative visualization, a technique that helps you imagine what you desire in great detail with the intention of making it real.
You communicate your desire to your unconscious creative mind so specifically and authentically that your inner mind naturally leads you toward acquiring it.
Say you want to meet the ideal life partner. You’ve tried dating services, clubs, and fix-ups without success.
So you make it a habit of imagining your desired partner: You imagine...
•Can Hypnosis Help You Make More Money? And Other Surprising Possibilities
Ok, no jokes about hypnotizing the boss to hand you a raise. This is for real.
If hypnosis can help lifetime smokers quit in one session, in shedding pounds that have held onto for years, even open the possibility for lifelong singles to attract love, might hypnosis help you bring in the income you’ve been dreaming of—even in tight times?
Could be.
Here are six ways:
1. Hypnosis can help you finish your education. If the notion that education would make you snobbish, or you didn’t have the...
•Hypnotism in Real Life: Have You Experienced It?
Someone offhandedly comments that a salesperson hypnotized them into a purchase. Obama is seen by some as having hypnotized voters into voting for him. A commercial, an effective teacher, a persuasive friend, is characterized as having hypnotic powers.
When a man spends more time with his new girlfriend than with his buddies, you may hear them joke “That woman hypnotized poor Phil!”
The idea, facetious or not, is that Phil is choosing her over them only because he has lost his free will.
But...
•Empower Your Broken New Year’s Resolution Any Time of Year
You had good intentions. But that resolution is broken, or on its way. Just like last year.
This year you’ll learn what to do about it. Next year you’re a pro.
Frankly, there are problems with traditional New Year’s resolutions:
1. Why we make them: a yearly tradition. It a rare person who makes them only when aiming for something compelling.
Making a New Year’s resolution is a tradition our country shares, not always meaningful to the individual. We create them haphazardly.
2. How we...
•Hypnosis For Women and Men—Same or Different?
There are close-to-universal cravings and desires that may, or may not, be healthy. And yearnings to be better in something than we are now. The topic varies—socializing, academic pursuits, a particular skill, appearance—but the feelings are the same.
Few can entirely escape sadness and loss; desire for something we believe we cannot have; judging ourselves as less-than-others in some way; feeling misunderstood.
Yes, some of these are unavoidable. But many can be eased or eliminated entirely...
•Improve Your Hypnotizability For Powerful Results
People who are more attuned to logic, facts, and figures than imagination, feelings, and possibilities often believe themselves to be difficult, or impossible, hypnotic subjects. They espouse pride about this, believing it protects them from being fooled, duped or overpowered by another’s will.
But they will likely feel cheated once they realize habitual left-brainedness cuts off valuable emotions and experiences, too.
Many left-brained smokers arrive at hypnosis appointments saying they want...
•Accidental Hypnosis: Can it Happen to You?
You are more powerful than you give yourself credit for. Honestly. When you say things off-the-cuff, you are rarely aware of the impact of those words and thoughts.
That’s dangerous. And, yes, I do mean the casual statements you make to friends, to your kids, and most of all, to yourself.
You are the one person you are always around, the one you can’t escape, who hears everything you say, both aloud and within the confines of your mind. While others can take a break from you, you are uniquely...
•Hypnosis For Menopause: Real Or Scam?
If someone says he or she can stop menopause, and turn the clock back 20 years, don’t buy it. I know it’s tempting. And maybe a decade from now it will be possible, or even sooner.
But not just yet—no matter whether the product on offer is a drug, vitamin supplement, or hypnosis session.
On the other hand, don’t be too surprised if a hypnotist, whose clients are primarily women forty and up, mentions that hypnosis can relieve or alleviate many symptoms of menopause, both physical and...
•Does Hypnosis Scare You? Should It?
Sometimes it’s simple. A woman calls me about her smoking problem. The problem is her doctor says she needs to stop smoking, and she says she wants to quit, but she simply isn’t quitting.
Cold turkey doesn’t work and neither does the nicotine drug her doctor prescribed and she faithfully took. Now she’s both taking the drug and smoking.
“I’m desperate,” she says, “So I called you.”
Long story short: she comes in and quits in one session. Longer story: some people are so afraid of a painless...
•Hypnosis For Actors
When an actor as accomplished as Sir Anthony Hopkins says he has used hypnosis successfully, you can’t help but be curious, right? You probably wonder, as I did: what has he used this often-admired, more-often-misunderstood tool for?
The answer: to quit smoking.
Hopkins knew smoking wasn’t healthy and, it is rumored, was concerned about his voice, so smoking-cessation hypnosis was an ideal choice for him, but there are many other uses of hypnosis that could be beneficial to actors.

•7 Ways to Make Your Brain Storm
To many, creativity simply means being able to produce lots of ideas quickly, with the expectation that some will be useful. But to those who deeply desire to be thought of as “creative,” any creativity challenge is also seen as a chance to fail and be “uncreative.”
This can quickly produce a kind of stage fright. Stage fright involves fear, worry, often self-chastising, and can result in freezing up.
Naturally that inhibits the flow of ideas, producing more stage fright.
It’s a vicious...
•Hypnosis For Procrastination: I’ll Try It Tomorrow (Part 2)
In Part 1 of this article, we dealt with the first three reasons why people procrastinate:
Fear of change; fear of ineptitude; and fear of success. I also introduced you to a client who had scheduled several hypnosis sessions at my office, only to cancel or miss them.
I recommend that if you haven’t yet read the first part of this article, you read it now and then re-join us here, at Part 2. We now stand at the fourth reason why people procrastinate, which may surprise you.
Reason 4: Fear of...
•Economic Stimulus Hypnosis?
Everywhere I’m hearing or seeing the words “economic stimulus.”
Today I received a flyer and an email announcing an economic stimulus sale from an office-supply store. Unfortunately, 10% off paper and pens will stimulate little more than the chain’s own bottomline.
But I believe we can stimulate our economic situations -- a lot or a little -- by how we think. As a consulting hypnotist who “walks her talk,” I’m already seeing the fruits of this attitude.

•Who Shouldn’t Be Hypnotized: Are You Among The Few?
Maybe you’ve read an article about the wonders of hypnosis: how it can eliminate negative habits like smoking and overeating; boost performance in sports, career, and artistic endeavors; help people sleep, let go of fears like public speaking, improve the odds of conception, and even make childbirth easier.
It seems like there’s nothing hypnosis can’t do—and no one who shouldn’t be using it, right?
But that’s not altogether true.
There are a few people for whom hypnosis is not advised for a...
•Hypnosis For Procrastination: I’ll Try It Tomorrow (Part 1)
It happened a little while back, but I remember it clearly. I should first say I’m a hypnotist. I help people lose weight, stop smoking, improve their romantic situations and solve the little foibles that sometimes make life, well, less than ideal.
Things like always being late, misplacing important objects, and, yes, putting off what needs to be done—endlessly.
Anyway, it was two months ago when I got this call from a woman. She left a message. “I’m calling for hypnosis,” it said, “Call me...
•Hypnosis For Students: New Study Aid Or Unfair Advantage?
Ask most college students if they have experienced hypnosis, and they’ll tell you about a hypnosis show they saw in high school or college. It was funny, and intriguing, but they haven’t thought about it since.
Yet hypnosis can give students far more than entertainment. Some know this personally. They’re just not saying much about it.
In fact, you may be surprised to learn that among top students who want to get the most from their studies, many have recognized hypnosis as one of the most...
•Hypnosis For Golf: Unfair Advantage?
Hypnosis is often thought of as useful for smoking cessation, weight loss, and fears like public speaking and flying. But did you know that hypnosis can be very useful in sports performance? Golfers, regardless of handicap, have used hypnosis on a regular basis to improve their game.
Although few will admit it publicly, many of the top names in golf have employed their subconscious minds to “make the difference that makes the difference” in their game.
What can hypnosis do for your...
