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?

Hi there,

Patricia here and I want to personally wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving.

 I love this quote.

“GRATITUDE unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melody Beattie, Author

This is the time of year when many of us take the opportunity to count our blessings and give thanks. It’s also a good time to pause and reflect about the things we can do to make a positive impact on our lives and the lives of others.

I want to thank YOU for being in my life, on my list and for reading all my emails…I could never do it without you.

Wishing you happiness, health, and good fortune this Thanksgiving and always,

Patricia

Hi everyone!  I am so excited to tell you about my latest creation, a 6 hour course on releasing excess body weight.  I have combined my 29 years experience as a fitness trainer, knowledge from my certifications in training, coaching, hypnotherapy, personal training and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, to bring you the best processes, techniques and experiences so that you can effectively release weight and achieve the success you desire.

Have you had it with diets that only work for a little while? Have you tried everything and nothing seems to work? Losing weight can be one of the most challenging experiences in your life… if you let it.  All success begins in our mind… 

Now, not only will you remove the barriers that hold you back, you will also learn to reprogram your mind and create the success you have longed for.

If you want to exercise consistently and eat healthy food, this course is for you.  If you are working out yet still struggling with consistency and healthy eating attending this course will tip the scale in your favor and you will be successful.

Even though the topic is weight loss, you can use these skills anywhere in your life such as employment, sales, leadership, relationships and more.  The class won’t be a piece of cake either, you’ll be keeping track of food intake, exercise, and other healthy habits, report on your progress, and you will have the support of the entire group AND your accountability partner.  Not only that, you will receive a FREE copy on my new hypnosis CD on weight loss, titled “Letting Go” so you can listen at your leisure and allow my suggestions to help you eat healthy, exercise regularly and feel good!

I recently presented a seminar on clarifying coaching competencies to a group of early childhood trainers.  First I want to acknowledge anyone who works in this stressful, highly demanding and sorely acknowledged profession.  You have my utmost respect and admiration.

The purpose of the seminar was to review the 11 core coaching competencies as defined by the International Coach Federation and for participants to learn and practice basic coaching skills including Active Listening and Powerful Questioning. 

As a way of practicing these skills I had participants work in pairs and answer the following questions.

1. If you could do anything you wanted with no limitations, what would it be?
2. What am I willing to say no to?
3. What am I committed to for my quality of life, and
4. What do I need to complete in order to feel a sense of freedom?

 While I used these questions for the purpose of practicing listening and questioning skills, they are great coaching questions to contemplate as you move forward and create more of what you want in your life.  To explore them in more detail…

Take some time now to answer question 1.  Then answer,

1. What would it mean to you if you did this?
2. What would it take for you to do this?
3. And then, list three steps you could take to do it. 

Spending time thinking and writing about what you want will turn the spot light on what you want and illuminate the choices to make to manifest them. 

Many blessings to you as you do this important work.

Patricia
