About HypnoGastric Band Surgery

Posted by on Apr 27, 2012 in My Thoughts | 0 comments

Last fall I was searching on a professional Hypnotherapist website for better weight release scripts, something that would really sing to me. I subscribed to the site just after I received my master Hypnotherapist certification and I’ve come to really trust it. Questions and comments on the chatboard from other hypnotherapist discussing HypnoGastric Band Surgery caught my attention. I’d not heard of it before then. Several posts extolled the great results, not to sell potential clients on the idea, but in the...

Open Door, New Path

If you’ve watched the reality TV show Intervention, you know there comes that crucial moment in each story told when the addict must decide—will they get help or not? Usually, it seems, they do. Every now and then, they refuse. As I write today, I am thinking of someone I care about standing at just such a crossroads. Within the next 24 hours this person is in a place where simply saying “yes” could mean the difference between life and death. We are hopeful, but also doubtful. Partly, it is because this...

Trusting the Body

In Mindfulness Meditation we practice focusing the mind, bringing it to a still point and through a gentle patience, holding it there. In time, what we notice is expansiveness. Lately, in my hypnotherapy practice I’ve been focusing on two new programs, learning them, really thinking about them and working with them. One is HypnoBirthing®, which I have just completed all the work to become a certified practitioner, and am offering my first group class this coming April 22-May 20. The other is the HypnoGastric...

Epic Journey

I’m a huge Joseph Campbell fan. Campbell is widely heralded as one of the foremost authorities on myth, which means he was enthralled by stories. He is credited with the quote, “Follow your bliss.” Campbell taught about the hero/heroine’s journey, mapping out the various parts of such a journey, their purpose and pitfalls. The major arcana cards in Tarot follow this epic journey, and they also become a clear depiction for us that whether we know it or not, we are all here on this earth on an epic journey....

Epic Road Trip

It was the first round of Integrated Imagery training at the A.R.E in Virginia Beach and I found myself seated in a room with thirty strangers who almost all looked so familiar to me. The program had us jumping right into the experience and so by day two we were already pairing up, one being the guide and one being what our instructor, Dr. John Amoroso, called the traveler. I believe the intention I set in one of those first regressions was to understand what I am here to learn. I found myself as a man wearing a...

Hypnobirthing

Memory is an energetic imprint. It can be hidden in the subconscious, but it is still there. When the energy of an experience is particularly high, it is more likely to leave a deeper imprint, something lasting and influential. Within the human life, there are two times when the energy is usually stronger, and that is birth and death.   In conducting past life regressions, I find it helpful to take the client to a past life death if at all possible. It is in those final thoughts that the imprint is created,...
