You can Imagine and Visualize, right ?   Most all of us can -

For Hypnotherapy and or Hypnosis to be affective, there must be some Imagery and or Visualization taking place in your 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 start to get relaxed by taking three deep long breaths and then three more, keep focusing on your breathing, until you feel more relaxed.  Continue breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth, each breath brings peace and calm as you breathe out old used energy that you no longer need.

Now, with your eyes closed, start to visualize and or imagine in your mind that you have arrived 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 all of 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 aspects 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 your mind continues to drift.

Enjoy this time as long as you possibly can with each deliberate, 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).

Continue to be in this place of peace and harmony as you begin to see and know that you can make anything happen that you wish, you are in control here and you can work on anything that you would like to change for the better, right now.

See what it is that you have been wanting to change, what is it that you desire to make better in your life, right now ?  See yourself doing it and having the things that you know you deserve and allow yourself to have these wonderful things that you have been wanting and wishing for.  See yourself doing these things and having these things and enjoying the benefits of these positive changes that you desire.

Feel the change and allow the changes to continue to happen as you thank yourself for giving this opportunity a chance to happen so quickly – a chance to have those things that you know are yours to enjoy.  They have been there inside you just waiting to be release and now, you are allowing them to happen and be real.

Alright, as you see how wonderful you are, you also know how powerful and how in control you have the ability to be – Now, as you continue to deep breath, start to bring your awareness back to this place where you are in your body at this time and bring yourself here and 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. 1,2,3,4,5 eyes open wide awake.  Now, continue to enjoy this peace and calm as you go through your day and remember that you are the one that allows things to happen in your life the way that you wish them to be.  So, wish for great wonderful things to happen, always -

A Better You !!!

Did you make any Resolutions this Year ? Did you know that most people who make New Year’s Resolutions, do not follow through with them and I just read in a recent article that “on average, 85 % of people that make them, do not keep them.”

First of all, I think it is really great if you did make some Resolutions – since, that means, you do know that you would like some type of changes to occur in your life and hopefully, they are Positive ones. It is a start, even if you are not following through with them as planned or having a hard time making them happen, at all.

Now, if your Resolutions are happening smoothly then, Here’s more Motivation to You – along with a reminder to always have some good “Mind tools” for those days when old ways of thinking could come back to trigger old behavior. “Mind tools” (a term that I think, I just made up while writing this) are motivative thinking anchors that reinforce new changes and they are personalized to fit the issues of each Client that I work with. Also, the anchors given help in grounding new positive thoughts (like a boat anchor) to new positive actions, reactions and behaviors.

Change is always happening in our Lives and since, most all changes, that we would like to change, happen in our subconscious, that is why Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy works so well and quickly. Not only, does it get to that subconscious level where old ways of thinking, feeling and reacting changes for the better – it also, reinforces changes through the personalized repetition, suggestions and visualization that is related to those issues being worked on.

Now, the not so easy part is finding those changes and then, making them happen while allowing them to become part of everyday life and this is why I absolutely Love being a Hypnotherapist – I get to be part of this amazing transformation that is being created as my clients quickly change for the better.

Change is good and through our own experiences most all of us have probably had and seen some pretty impactful changes happen during this past decade. I know, I have and most everyone I know, has had some real good changes, along with some bad ones and then, there are others that are just confused with the many people having such difficulties while, at the same time, others are thriving by doing the best they ever have.

These extreme contrasts are causing us to become even more aware of what others are going through and the difference in opinions are surely being expressed. Some of which are: “We are just going through another recession that will past soon” along with, “This is the worst economy since, the great depression” then, there are others that are saying “What recession?”

Does it seems to be all relative then and what about the Law of Attraction that says, “What we focus on happens Most” ? Well, what ever it is that we are going through, we will get through it, as we always have and there is no doubt that yes, there really is something going on out there and things are forever and always changing.

So, through all of these changes, what I am sensing about this new decade is that the theme is already becoming, not about me, I or you but about We – We as a whole. We have to continue to do things together and with Social media and sites like Facebook we have already been doing this for quite some time and we are getting more and more comfortable with sharing, commenting and expressing our feelings.

As more and more like minded people are connecting and we continue to comment, share and express ourselves in a Positive respectful way, not only does our own life continue to change for the better but those that engage with us, change for the better, as well.

Since, jumping right in, to embrace Social Media, as many others did, through Facebook, this whole past year ended up being a Social Media Networking training camp for me and it has been amazing.  How great is it that, we get the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful new way to connect with people all over the world where our lives can literally be changed in an instant.

Just think about the many ways your Life has changed for the better through Social Media and think about those people that helped you to change and also, those you helped to change in the process.

Through this past year, that is what I have focused on most – the importance of embracing the changes that are happening in your Life, and what I have discovered is that, I can not do it all my own. So, that is why I am now taking Social Media to the next level by really understanding how important it is to have a special networking group of friends – like minded people to rely on and get support and motivation from.

First, I found how this worked on a large scale through Facebook and now, I am learning how it can work on a smaller scale with what is being called a “tribe”.   An old term that is being used to describe a new type of online syndication tribe and the leader of this new tribe that I am involved in is Kimberly Castleberry and she explains it all very well at this link, right here with more information here -

Also, I am having a great time getting to know some of the others that have joined our tribe and I am excited to share how they are making changes happen through the work they are doing, as well.  These are them, my new tribe buddies doing really great things so, you can just click on their names to see what they are doing for the Better:  Theresa Moss – doing some real Creative Marketing; Cindy Springsteen – is a Long Island Parenting Teen’s Examiner, very interesting;  David Merrill, helping  keep the Blues at Bay & some Powerful Online Marketing Tips; Kellie Frazier – Great Coaching through Connecting; Irene Sharon Hodes, the Foodie with a full appetite of Humor; Jacqueline Gates – Living Life Abundantly and helping others to know how, as well; Eugene Guilbault – blogging about the start of the New Year & what others are doing; Tracey Keefer - offering Tips for your MLM and Susan Davis – Living Life Full Out & sharing it with You -

What some Clients are saying about Phone Hypnotherapy:

“When I decided to try Hypnotherapy for my relationship issues and lack of motivation it was new to me and I did not know how Hypnotherapy over the Phone could work. It ended up being one of the best things I could do for myself.  The technique that Lori used, really helped to get me more motivated and, at the same time, I got rid of stress that was caused due to a breakup. I am really glad I took the time to do this for myself – it helped to reduce my stress and helped me stay motivated at work.” – Mike Spain

Self-Promotion that is Selfless since, ultimately it is about You, the most important Person in Your Life – Yes, You are the most important person in your Life and if not, well maybe, it is time to think about being that Person.  Life is so much better when you are your own M.I.P.

Now, more about how I can Motivate you more through the suggestions that I offer and also, about the Successful Phone Hypnotherapy that I have been doing…and a really good way to learn more about all of this, is to just listen to the Radio Interview that I recently did on Motivational Radio, an Internet Radio Station in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Doing this Interview was really fun and it is another reason why I Love Social Media so much since, I met Anthony Hosking, the Radio Station Manger of Motivational Radio on Facebook through of one of my Friends that I met through another friend and then, I loose track who that friend was…Facebook, bringing the Whole World closer together one Friend request connection, at a time. ( just came up with that saying about Facebook while writing this)

What made the interview so, fun was that – it is was not planned, it was off the cuff, an Impromptu type Interview and Anthony is really good at what he does over there – he is multi-talented and I found out we have more than a few things in common.

We talked about Social Media and how it is bringing more and more People together from all over the world and how it is Changing things for the Better. Also, we talked about Hypnotherapy, of course, and I found out that he, himself was a Hypnotist and his brother is one, as well. It also, sounds like he has some really good Shows and Interviews that he Broadcasts daily.

I do Hope that, if you decide to listen to the Interview, that it helps to Motivate You for the Better in a real Positive way with the Changes that you may be going through, at this time.

It seems, many of us are going through some real important and maybe, life altering Changes, right now and what we can do, to make it easier, is find a way to Release more Stress enabling us to cope Better and also, Realize the Good aspects that the Changes are bringing into our whole Life. (sometimes, really great Changes are even more stressful than, the not so great ones – just something to think about)

So, here is the information – The Interview, that aired Wednesday the 11th @ 4 PM PST & 7 PM EST is now archived on the Motivational Radio web site but you can listen to it now, by just clicking on this link: http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-65631/TS-291972.mp3
