How would you like a quick, easy and efficient way to lose excess weight? Guided meditation or light hypnotic trance is a very powerful tool to help you create the changes you want to make in your life, more quickly and easily than you ever thought possible. Guided meditation-hypnosis is used very effectively for weight loss as well as for other challenging and destructive beliefs and behaviors. 

 While in a trance, your mind is open and receptive to suggestions that will support you in changing your behavior.  For example after receiving positive suggestions about healthy eating and exercise you may find yourself looking forward to these new habits and enjoying them very much while losing excess weight in the process.

 Sounds great you may be thinking, but does it really work? There are well documented studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of using hypnosis for weight loss.

One such study was conducted by David N. Bolocofsky; Dwayne Spinler; and Linda Coulthard-Morris in 1985 titled, “Effectiveness of hypnosis as an adjunct to behavioral weight management.” The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, 41 (1), 35-41.

This was a 9-week study conducted on two groups of around 54 people.  The first group was treated with changes in their diet and exercise habits only.  The second group received the same treatment while also receiving hypnosis for reinforcement. After the 9 week trial both groups lost weight while in the program.  However, after the 8 month and 2 year follow up the first group did not lose any more weight and most of the participants gained back the weight they had lost. 

The second group however, continued to lose weight during both follow ups, and most of the people in this group met their long term weight loss goals. Not only that, they continued to practice the new diet and exercise habits they learned in the study.

Findings from other studies like this (including hypnosis in weight loss efforts) showed the average short-term weight loss for those not using hypnosis was 6 pounds, while those who were also treated with hypnosis lost on average 11.83 pounds.  Over the long-term the average weight loss without hypnosis was 6 pounds, however with hypnosis the average weight loss increased to 14.88 pounds. 

It is clear from these and other well documented studies that over time, those using hypnosis with other weight loss efforts are able to successfully achieve their weight loss goals and change their diet and exercise habits in the process. 

What would your life be like if this part of your life was easy?

If you are ready to find out and begin your journey, join us for two sessions,

When asked what the biggest problem in the world today is, many of us would say it’s our environment.  Jeff Primack owner-CEO of Supreme Science Qigong Foundation http://qigong.com/ says our biggest problem today is in our separation in consciousness.  He says (paraphrased) even if we resolved all the earth’s problems, we’d still fight over land.  However, when the reality of all humanity is connected, world peace will happen.

At Supreme Science Qigong Foundation, Jeff is more interested in the evolution of people than in food healing even though he teaches food healing by increasing the consumption of phytochemicals in his seminars.  Jeff believes that Qigong is the unifying agent that will connect us all so that “the ultimate all is one experience”.  He has been passionately spreading his philosophies about food, healing, spirituality and transforming world consciousness through his world wide Qigong seminars.

What is Qigong? At first glance Qigong is an exercise that professes to build the immune system and strengthen the body through a series of slow, controlled, and specific Tai Chi (originating from Qigong) moves performed in synchrony with deep breathing rhythms. It is a self-healing tool using a moving form of meditation.  When we look deeper, we discover that “Qigong is the father of traditional Chinese Medicine”, which is over 5000 years old. Kept secret and only practiced by the wealthy elite and martial artists, with the Cultural Revolution, Qigong is now available to all.

According to traditional Chinese theory Qi is the vital energy that gives us life. It is derived from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the environment in which we live.  Qigong is also used in healing others in body, mind and soul. And it can be used to help in healing our entire universe.

The gentle, deep breathing techniques are said to revitalize our tissues, organs, muscles bones relieving pain, eliminating stress and strengthening our ability to send out Qi for use in healing others and our planet.

Studies have shown Qigong to be a cure for many ailments from high blood pressure to cancer. In the Western world many of us have found Qigong to be the key in improving our overall health. The positive effects from incorporating a regular practice of Qigong include inner peace, a healthy energized body and a calm state of mind that supports us in managing the stresses and disease in life.

Practicing Qigong together with healthy eating and using herbs is touted as the secret to longevity.  It is said that many practitioners show “profound anti-aging effects, often looking decades younger than their actual age.”

As we practice the art of Qigong, we are moving energy in a meditative dance, bringing Qi to us, sending Qi to the earth to others and out into the universe.  There are specific moves involved such as Wuji Stepping, Push Hands Movement, Locomotion Movement and others that allow us to move while breathing in concert with our actions.

I attended the 4-day Qigong Healing Revolution in Tacoma in July-August 2010 and was moved deeply in this experience.  In addition to learning and practicing 3 levels of Qigong, we learned about healing through food, and the 9-Breath Healing energy method among many other topics.

At one point in the seminar the chairs were arranged in a long spiral around the room. Six hundred of us sat holding hands and used this healing 9-Breath method to send healing energy through prayer to those suffering in the world.  We prayed specifically for healing and forgiveness for the local city, the state, the country, the world, elected officials, the children, Africa, Israel and the Middle East, the soldiers, those responsible for the war, our prosperity, our neighbor’s prosperity, for those we need to forgive, for forgiveness of ourselves, and finally we sent prayers of gratitude to God.

There may be some truth to Jeff Primack’s beliefs about our separation from one another in consciousness. Personally I don’t know if this is an area that will ever be healed.  However, there was a definite connection to everyone when practicing the art of Qigong during the seminar. I felt very connected to others in the room and especially when we were praying.

At any rate, there are so many benefits in practicing Qigong that it may very well solve another big problem in the world today, the stress, anxiety and lack of positive, healthy inner connection with self.  Try it for yourself and notice how you feel. If it feels good continue the practice and reap the healthy benefits of quieting your mind and healing the evolution of your mind and body through Qigong.

‎”As we increasingly master our perceptions, beliefs, and thought/feeling patterns, we magnetically attract that which we most desire.”
~Luanne Oakes~

The mind is a powerful tool we can use to transform our lives.  With specific and purposeful use of the mind we can improve performance, relieve pain, speed healing, lose weight, stop smoking, achieve confidence, eliminate fears, stress and phobias, quit destructive habits and attract what we want in our lives. 

There’s been a movement underfoot for awhile now, called the “Law of Attraction”.  It became popular with the 2006 movie, “The Secret” along with the promise to help you create anything you want in life.

What is it, and can I use it to attract what I want? According to Wikipedia, the law of attraction “refers to the idea that thoughts influence chance.” In other words the premise is that conscious and unconscious thoughts shape what happens in our life, not just motivation and action.

According to this theory we send out vibrations that represent our beliefs, thoughts and emotions.  The law of attraction matches those vibrations (whether positive or negative) and brings us more of the same.  So, based on this theory, to attract what you want you must become deliberate about what vibes you are sending out into the universe.

Many believe that to attract what you want, you merely have to send out the right vibrations and your desires will manifest.  Personally I don’t believe that sending out vibes alone will achieve my goals. However, I do know that our thoughts ultimately create the beliefs, feelings, actions and inactions in our lives. Our state of mind is the key in attracting what we want and achieving our goals.  When combined with sound action steps, we can substantially increase our odds at attract what we desire.

What we focus on affects our performance. We know that in sports like golf, baseball, football and others once we learn the skills to play; we become truly success when we gain mastery of our thoughts.  Thoughts that are filled with anxiety about missing the mark or imagining failure will most often lead to failure.  

This is true in all endeavors.  When we imagine and see ourselves succeeding at whatever goal we set it affects our performance by preparing our mind for how it’s going to be and we expect success. In sports for example, there are many documented studies comparing mental practice and actual physical practice. In many cases mentally practicing and rehearsing the game was equal to or better than physical practice.

If we think we’ve failed even though there maybe evidence to the contrary that is our experience.  On the other hand, if we walk through life imaging success, even if others don’t completely agree, we walk through life feeling successful.  When we feel successful, we take more risks increasing our opportunities for even more success.  Not only that, it feels good to think successful and positive thoughts about our lives.  How do you want to feel?

There are many ways we can use these ideas to create the success we desire.  One way is by participating in a guided meditation/visualization during which you will actively and creatively visualize successfully achieving our goal. You will prepare you mind for what will be by mentally rehearsing what you want to attract. You can also do this alone by visualizing, in as much detail as possible, what you want to attract in your life.

Learning to use our powerful minds in visualizing what we want to attract while taking action in the direction of our goals will support us in achieving the success we desire. What do you want to attract in your life today?

Join us this Monday and participate in a guided meditation designed specifically to support you in attracting what you want in your life.  Experience the power of your mind.

Believing in yourself is an endless destination.  Believing you have failed is the end of the journey.  Author unknown

Recently a client came in to my office in total despair.  She said she had participated in every diet that was ever created, hired personal trainers, joined local weight loss groups and nothing had worked for her.  She desperately wanted to lose weight permanently. Sure, she had lost lots of weight over the years, she said, but she gained it all back and then some.  She was sick and tired of feeling like a failure, and had little hope she could conquer this big problem in her life.  She’d heard that hypnotherapy worked and wanted to try it.

After learning specifically what she wanted to achieve we discussed her behavior, and how she sabotaged her efforts. I asked her what would make the biggest difference in her success with weight loss.  She said, “If I could control my eating that would be half the battle.”

She was able to pinpoint exactly what happens during the minute she chooses the self-sabotaging behavior. I used a very effective Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) process with her called the New Behavior Generator. Here’s how it works.

New Behavior Generator – think of a challenging situation you want to change, then create a picture of what you are doing that is not working – step inside it and dim down the color, take color out, take feelings, thoughts, sounds tastes and smells out so the picture is dull and has no energy, then take the corners of the picture and shrink it way down so that it is very tiny…

Next, create a picture of yourself doing exactly what you want to be doing in that situation and then step into it.  Notice what you are doing, how are you feeling, what you see, hear, tell yourself, taste and smell… now turn the dials up on that picture making it more intense, colorful, vibrant and alive…. See, hear and feel yourself in this picture looking out your own eyes… feeling very confident and knowing you are behaving exactly the way you want to in this challenging situation. 

My client has had much success with this process.  Using it during challenging times has helped her eliminate self-sabotaging behavior. You too, can now have full confidence in reacting just like this any time you want in every challenging situation.

Limiting beliefs hold us back.  They keep us from living authentic and empowered lives.  They keep us from joy, happiness, personal success and empowerment.  They keep us laying low and playing small when we know and want to do much better.

When working with any limiting belief, we help you get from your current state to your desired state.  First we help you identify your desired state?  What would you like to believe instead?  We ask, how would your life be different with this new belief, and other questions aimed at helping you draw out and give life to exactly what you want.  Similar to knowing where you want to go on vacation, if you have a clear destination or desired state, you’ll be able to get there.

For example, we help people afraid of pubic speaking to identify exactly how they want to to “be, feel, think, act, etc” while speaking,  Then we show them how to link the desired state with inner resources they already have.  Immediately they are able to transform this fear into confidence and perform the way they want to.  You can do this too!

Identify a situation that you don’t feel good about including the feelings you have and want to change. For example maybe you feel irritated with your boss, partner or colleague.  Next identify how you want to feel instead.  Maybe you want to feel compassionate, calm and tolerant.  Then, think back to a time when you felt these positive feelings.  Allow yourself to anchor, and fully feel these desired feelings while taking them into the current situation.  Believing you can and do have other options in the way you think, feel and navigate in the world can be very empowering.

Where are you with that Picture you imagined…?  Have you achieved your TimeLine Goal yet? Are you doing all you can to achieve your weight loss goals?

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” – Dale Carnegie

This quote by the amazing Dale Carnegie is a powerful reminder of the need to complete our “dreaming” or goal setting by creating an NLP ANCHOR and then stepping onto our success path.

An anchor sets up a response pattern so that you can feel the way you want to, whenever you want. Use a sensory stimulus as the anchor to attach to the state you want, and then repeat that stimulus to recreate the state.

There are many examples of this powerful process, already in your memory bank.  Have you ever noticed that when you hear an old song or smell something familiar that specific memories of sounds, tastes, smells or feelings are triggered?  That’s because you consciously or unconsciously created an anchor for this experience.

And you can use this anchoring on purpose, to change your behavior and achieve your goals, such as loosing weight, stopping smoking, overcoming the fear of public speaking, successfully interviewing for a job, improving performance and much, much more.  It can be as easy as turning on a light switch…

Here are the basic steps for creating an anchor.

1. Decide what state you want to anchor. (i.e. confidence)
2. Recall a past vivid experience for the state you are anchoring.
3. Apply a specific trigger as the state is reaching its peak (i.e. press your thumb and index finger together, or think of a symbol)
4. Break the state – think about something else, then
5. Test and Repeat the anchor until you achieve the experience you want

So, think about your dream or goal.  What specifically do you want to accomplish? How will it look, feel, sound taste and smell when you achieve it?

Allow your senses to really come alive as you experience achieving your goal in each of your senses.  Allow that “experience” to grow and grow until it could burst in its intensity. Then apply your trigger.

Working with a clinical hypnotherapist and NLP practioner will allow you to take full advantage of these and even more powerful tools for your personal development and success.

Repeating these steps again and again will bring life to your goals and from that life comes the next step… suiting up and heading out to achieve your success…

My husband and I recently took a vacation to Kauai, Hawaii to celebrate our 16^th wedding anniversary.  We had a wonderful time even though it was just one week.  While there we snorkeled, hiked, shopped and took a fabulous helicopter ride.

Vacations provide a wonderful opportunity to “step away from” life as usual…

Since returning I’ve meditated on the following question:, “So Patricia, what’s going to change – what are you going to do differently in your life now that you’ve returned to it with “fresh eyes”?”

Fresh Eye Perspective

What can a fresh eye perspective do for us, and what’s the point?  We’ve all heard the statement about being too close to a situation to see it clearly.  Well, stepping out of and gazing at our lives helps us see what we are actually doing.

Taking an unbiased objective view provides us many pearls of wisdom.  We can see where we are supporting our selves, where we need help, what we are tolerating, how we are treating ourselves and what effect it’s having on our lives…

Gaining a fresh perspective is valuable and you don’t need to travel on an airplane or spend money to do it. Here’s an activity to help.

Activity

Find quiet time alone

Close your eyes and take several deep-relaxing breaths

Picture yourself as the main character on a movie screen as you are sitting in the audience watching…

Allow the movie to begin in 2009… and watch as month by month goes by…

What do you see?  What happens to the main character?  What is she/he doing, thinking, seeing, feeling and telling herself?

Allow yourself time to take it all in…

Then, knowing you can change the movie for this main character for 2010, think about how you will change it.  What will happen…. What do you want to happen…

Spend quality time here designing the script and casting characters…

Write it all down and check it periodically through out the year for any editing you may want to do.
