Public Acceptance for Hypnotherapy

With so many myths about Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy it is slow progress gaining wide public acceptance.
Yet so many people are absolutely fascinated by the topic. Hypnotherapy is 90% science, 10% art and 0% mysticism. It can be argued that hypnotherapy is the most ancient of therapies and elements of hypnotherapy are found in most if not all healing systems. Hypnotherapy cannot be easily described let alone defined. People’s lives are transformed, personal growth is set on course and health is improved all through this ancient healing practise. Hypnosis is not only real but a learned skill. For some people going into hypnosis is as easy as breathing, for others it takes some time and practise and for very few (especially those who have an IQ of under 70 or are on heavy mind altering medications) it does not happen. Over 95% of the population can benefit from Hypnosis. . Hypnotherapy, as an art and science has now reached a level of professional and public acceptance that is far greater than at any time in the last century. More and more people are taking responsibility for their life situation and over all health and well being making hypnosis a viable option to achieve goals.

are emotional wounds sometimes important for growth?

The story I posted below is one that have been cruising around the net for years. Although it is a story with a good lesson there is more to the story. As I am always in the process of becoming a better human being my view on this story has changed somewhat. Although I try to never speak out in anger there are times when it serves a higher purpose to speak your mind to another EVEN when we know it may be hurtful. Have you ever witnessed an injustice upon another person or animal and became so angry you were moved to take action? (even if by yelling or speaking your mind). I remember a time about 25 years ago that someone lashed out at me in anger while I was at work (in the lunchroom actually). I was hurt and embarrassed but also more careful with my words after that time. Later (much later) I respected the woman who had the courage to call me on my behaviour, and prompt me to change.

Not long ago I was on a bike ride with my husband. As we rode past a historical rail road building I noticed a young man taking a leak on the building while an older woman (possibly his mother) was waiting. Although it may have been a bit embarrassing for my husband I yelled to this guy to have some respect for our city's history and gave him a piece of my mind. Even though I am sure they did not appreciate my 'intervention' nonetheless I hope this young man would think twice before doing such a thing again.

My point is with both examples is that sometimes silence is not the answer. There are times when silence means acceptance. In the whole scheme of the world situation these are trivial things really. Who am I to 'right the world'? Well I alone do not have the power, understanding, knowledge or wherewithal to right the world but I can step up to the small everyday things in my own backyard... but firstly keeping in mind that it all starts within oneself.

the story of emotional wounds

There once was a little boy who had a bad
temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails
and told him that every time he lost his
temper, he must hammer a nail into the back
of the fence. The first day the boy had
driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next
few weeks, as he learned to control his
anger, the number of nails hammered daily
gradually dwindled down. He discovered
it was easier to hold his temper than to
drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't
lose his temper at all. He told his father
about it and the father suggested that the
boy now pull out one nail for each day that
he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally
able to tell his father that all the nails
were gone. The father took his son by the
hand and led him to the fence He said, "You
have done well, my son, but look at the
holes in the fence. The fence will never be
the same. When you say things in anger,
they leave a scar just like this one. You
can put a knife in a man and draw it out.
It won't matter how many times you say I'm
sorry, the wound is still there.

Read some Good News for a change

If our thoughts create our reality, where are we focusing our thought and attention?

I used to be a CNN junkie and realized it's all horrid stuff that is reported! Why do people only want to hear the horror in the world? Why is dread, gloom, horror and violence the focus? I am not saying that bad things do not happen in the world but a lot of really good stuff goes on every day, everywhere!

By focusing our time and attention in ways that will lift and recharge our inner most selves we allow out minds to be filled with positive affirmative thoughts. It's all a choice. I have always enjoyed heavy metal music, but don't listen to it much anymore because I know it is not in my best interest. News junkie...... here is a link. It's great to read about the good in the world. http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/limit,15/limitstart,30/

Our minds are like our bodies, what we put in is what we get out. And...... we have a choice.

This week I am being extra careful what I read, listen to, watch and who I spend time with.

Ain't nothin gonna bring this girl down!

What I do.......

I do many things. Co-own a small restaurant with my family, teach ESL, and see clients here
at Guided Balance Hypnotherapy Centre. I love doing Hypnosis and seeing the powerful results
that improve and empower people in their lives. My passion lies in doing EIP sessions. EIP stands for Eliminating Interference patters. It is also called DNA healing and if you want to learn more about check out my web site, or call and ask me.

I found this documentary video on a web site and if you have an interest to learn more about hypnosis and it's practical applications, or just want to be entertained it is worth the 26 minutes it takes to watch it.
