Did you say, “I am” – meaning You, yourself ? I do hope so, You are The Most Important person in your own Life, You really are, and the more you are there for yourself, the Better you can be there for those other important people in your Life.

One of the biggest concerns that I hear from some of my clients and others is that they are too busy to even make time, to take more time for themselves. Many people are overwhelmed with the activities in their life but we have to remember that, these activities are from our own creation – we had a lot to do with making them happen. We had the power to create them, therefore, we have the power to make them easier to deal with.

So, what do you think? Is it time to take your power back from those activities so, you can have more control over how they happen in our Life?

Maybe, so – you are the one that does know the answers to all of your questions, they are there within you and that is why I want you to become Your own Most Important Person so, you can Release more Stress to find those answers and be able to hear them more consistently.

In my last blog post, I talked about the Movie, Avatar and how we can create our own type of Pandora feeling right Here on Earth - it is a long post (which you can read in two parts) but it ended with a simple suggestion about how to take that first step in taking more time for yourself. It is something that we do already and have been doing since, birth – but not all of us do it in the best way. It is breathing and I posted my “Breathing Better” video to help and motivate you to do that.

Here is the link to that post: click Here and I hope, if you have not already – that you watch the video to take the first steps in taking more time for yourself. Then, after you get better at breathing – watch the next video, “Hypnosis By the Sea” posted below for your next step in becoming Your own Most Important Person.

It is a video showing you how to do Self-Hypnosis – it is very simple and easy to do and can be done anywhere, where you can create a quiet space for yourself – so, just click Here…

Since, I Love the Sea – I took advantage of the beautiful serenity that it has to offer by giving you a place, through this video, to come back to practice and also, enjoy – but remember…

You don’t have to be by the Sea – to be more free.

I do believe, do you, That it is Time to be Your Own M.I.P. -

Click Here - to read the posting before this one.

My next follow up post, will have more steps to keep you moving in the right direction...

It will be about Sleeping Better with Motivative Suggestions to help You get to Sleep faster and Sleep through out the night. Sleeping Better and working on your issues through your Dreams can Release even more Stress so, you can be Better at being Your own M.I.P -

Avatar The Movie & What We can do Here…

On the Place we call Home – Earth, also, known as Gaia, another name for Earth that comes from Greek mythology, referring to the Earth Goddess.  Gaia, pronounced “Guy – uh” a beautiful name for this wonderful Planet that we get to inhabit.  It is a Planet like no other (that we know of, at this time) and if you have been to one that is more amazing – Please, do let me know about it.

We are so fortunate to be here to have this place to live and it’s really great to be connecting with more and more like-minded people who share the same realization.

As humans, we get to experience the many different opportunities our Planet offers us, and at the same time, have been given the abilities to change our experiences to the better.

Right now, I feel, see, sense and know that we are living in a time of Great Change and true discovery.  It is a time for many who have either been depressed, unhappy, angry, sad, fearful or even lost to realize and know their purpose in Life.  When we allow ourselves to have more peace and calm, it enables a better connect with our true self and that’s when change happens.  As these new changes become part of your everyday life, it can start to make you realize what is missing.

The many great changes taking place have created an awakening and with the recent effect that the Movie, Avatar has had – the longing for inner peace and calm is even more evident.

This amazing movie, creatively produced with such symbolic wisdom, shows that even though it takes place in the future where overgrown cat like natives live in heightened states of spiritual harmony, on Planet Pandora - it really is not much different than our own Planet. (figuratively speaking, that is)

Through the journey of the characters in this movie, the audience has gotten a glimpse of what more peace, calm and serenity looks and feels like and many are craving more.  They great thing is that most all of us already have the ability within ourselves to make this happen and after seeing this movie, I couldn’t stop thinking about how we really can create our own type of Pandora, right here on Earth…

Then, what motivated me more to write about this, was a recent connection with a new like-minded Friend on Facebook who had sent out a very interesting note.  The information in her note talked about the deep symbolism in this movie and we chatted about how we both related to it so well.  Even though she had received this information from another Friend, she was so excited to be sharing it since, it had helped her understand her own thoughts even better and I am so glad she did.

The information in the note, was written by Ada Monola, and she talked about “the many hidden messages… or maybe not so hidden for people who are aware…” then she shared her opinion about what she saw in these hidden messages.

The rest of this information could be a spoiler for those who have not seen this movie, but who has not seen this wonderful film, yet ?

I was able to see most of the same messages but what surprised me, was that I was not aware of something that is now, so obvious.  When she talked about the Heroes in the Movie, it immediately got my attention and what I read next, almost left me breathless.  She said, “The heroes are set in hypnosis mode in order to connect with their avatars… we meditate, we ‘put in sleep’ our vehicle (the body) so we can connect with the avatar within us (our Soul, who is Divine – an avatar -)”

Wow, I thought – what an amazing way to describe the most important symbolic message of this whole movie and in such a beautiful way !!!  Then, I thought – of course hypnosis…that is exactly what they had used and how did I not see it, something I know so well.

That is how great this movie is – the peace and harmony on Pandora contrasted with the cruel reality of life is so captivating that it has overloaded those so deeply effected.  And it seems, many are still trying to figure out what they are feeling about it.

Have you heard about the avatar effect, (click here to read more) also, know as the avatar blues.  It is a type of post depression from the deep feelings felt about this movie and it is causing many to have a hard time with their reality ?

Notice, I said, their reality – since, we have the ability within to change our own reality for the better.  This ability is there and it is just waiting to be released and Hypnotherapy is one of the best ways to make this happen.

Hypnosis is just a deepened state of relaxation that occurs naturally when your mind is being overloaded with message units, much like watching a movie.  The guided imagery and visualization that send the message units offer suggestions to slow your breathing and that enables more stress release, much like watching a movie.

During a session you are still conscious but the messages units that distract the conscious part of the mind cause your thoughts to go deeper.  These deepening thoughts that are relaxing you, are also opening up the subconscious part of your mind more and that is where you decide which suggestions to believe or not believe.  This is much like the effect that Avatar has had but the most very important difference is that during a Hypnotherapy session, only Positive suggestions are used.

So, it seems the positive suggestions taken from this movie created a healthy desire for more, which is great, but many of those, so deeply affected, are not aware of how to experience this again.  Also, their negative thoughts might have them thinking that they had nothing to do with what they had felt since, it occurred watching a fictitious movie of make-believe.

I can’t speak for all of the people going through this but I do know that most all of us have the ability to create more peace, calm and serenity in our lives.  It might not be like the Planet Pandora, in the Movie Avatar, but you can get to that place to release more stress to find your own peace and calm within.  When your mind becomes more quiet, you are able to hear better what your soul has to offer and that is what allows you to know your passions.

Many people I have been connecting with are happily living their Passions with much peace and serenity and some of the others are beginning to discover this even more.  These are the people who know – you gotta do what it takes, to get to where you want to be and this gives me much hope that more people are understanding that, if you really want something – you have to be willing to do the work to get it.

And for those who are not quite ready, yet – that is O.K. too, everybody finds their own way to deal with change.  I love it when people come to me and I get to motivate them further but ultimately, they are the ones who have to really want it.

So, if you are searching for some positive things that might be missing in your life – you want them and also, know there will be some work to do, then, it is a good idea to find other ways to release more stress - and it’s as simple as Breathing…

This is the easy work to get your going in the right direction – learning how to Breath Better can make Your whole Life Better and the link below, Breath Better Now, will take you to a Simple Video that will motivate your further.

Most of us have probably heard about People using Phone Psychics to know what Changes may be occurring in their Future but not quite as many, have heard about how Hypnotherapy Sessions over the Phone work in allowing your Changes to happen the way that you would like them to Happen.

Phone Hypnotherapy Sessions take place in your own environment, at home, which automatically makes you more comfortable and since, you initially will be listening only – it allows all your other senses to become heightened, as well.

When You are more comfortable and all your senses are heightened, that enables you to go deeper into the subconscious part of your mind where change takes place.

So, would you like to – Stop Smoking, Reduce Your Weight, Release Stress, Build more Confidence, Improve a Relationship, Change a Habit, Fear or Phobia…or
Maybe, You just want to be more Happy ?

Did You know that Your Positive Changes are already there inside You just waiting but are You really Ready to find them ?

Hypnotherapy can motivate You to get more Ready and the Stress Release it brings allows You to find that Change within Yourself, Right Now.

Guided Imagery

For Hypnotherapy and or Hypnosis to be affective, there must be some Imagery and or Visualization taking place in the mind. Visualization is the seeing of an activity in the mind but Imagery is experiencing the activity in the mind with all, most or some of the senses involved – actually doing it, as if being part of it.

Imagery is a right brain activity which means it is a creative process verses the left brain which is the analytical side. Imagery is a flexible approach that strengthens the Nero Pathways, the brain responders, so by using Guided Imagery one can practice in the mind seeing and doing what one wants to be, change or accomplished.

Here is an example of a Guided Imagery used during Hypnotherapy:

First, sit in a comfortable position and get relaxed by taking three deep breaths and then three more.

Now with your eyes closed, start to visualize or image in your mind being at your favorite place in the world.
This could be any place that is safe, calm, relaxing and beautiful – you decide where it is – or create it now.

It could be a place you have been before or a place that you want to visit or where you are right now – you decide.

Now, be there as you begin to feel the breeze, the air, as you smell the smells and hear the sounds around you.

What colors do you see, who is there with you, what animals or beings do you see or are you alone? – you decide.

What does the ground feel like, the air the water the trees, are there any trees, mountains, valleys or are you inside?

Now, what do you feel – the positive feelings inside your body?  Calm, relaxed, happy, free, joyous, peaceful, creative, focused, powerful, out of your body…

Keep feeling the positive while staying in this place – enjoy this brief time of solitude as your continue to be good to yourself.

Be aware of your breathing as you continue to take deep long breaths into you belly and exhale slowly as the mind drifts.

Enjoy this time as long as you possibly can with each deliberate and slow wonderful and powerful breath to the next one (take time here to just sit and become even more relaxed as you let your mind wonder from one wonderful thought to the next).

Now, start to come back to this place where you are in your body at this time and bring yourself here now back to the present.

Begin to open your eyes and feel your body where you are and count up from 0 to 5 – 0,1,2,3,4, and 5 eyes open wide awake.

You could have someone else read this to you or you could record it and play it back or even memorize it and say it to yourself but it is always so much better and more effective when you are professionally guided to this wonderful place.

How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

With Hypnotherapy, the Hypnotherapist is able to gain access to the subconscious part of the mind of the client who has given permission to do so.  This is done through motivative suggestions of guided imagery and visualization for the client to reference as they begin to relax into this deepened  calm state.

All of this is quite simple on the client’s part, nothing is asked of the client but to begin to get comfortable and begin to relax and listen to the positive calm suggestions that will be related to the issues that they want to work on.  Before the hypnosis begins, the client is encouraged to talk about their issues and or anything they would like.  Also, the client does not have to talk about anything if they choose because with hypnosis, the Hypnotherapist does not need to know the reasons why a client has an issue or even how their issue started.

You are in control while in hypnosis and you can do or saying anything you want to and even get up if you choose but all my clients report such a great feeling of relaxation that they just want to be calm and listen to the positive suggestions.  And no, we are not going to find out any deep dark secrets about you because you are not going to do or saying anything that you would not ordinarily do or say.  And yes, every client is counted up and out of  hypnosis to a conscious but still relaxed state before they leave.

As a Hypnotherapist, I become that motivative support that helps my clients see how they can help themselves toward their own positive change for the self-improvement that they are seeking.  I am also there to listen and see the change as they discover a wonderfully powerful part of themselves that they may not have ordinarily had the chance to explore.

So, you see, it is a simple way to get relaxed as you de-stress while being a positive and motivating way to be a better healthier person as it brings self-improvement.  Hypnotherapy has changed my life in so many positive ways and I love sharing this amazing modality as I continue to practice on the willing who desire positive change to occur in their lives.
