Hypnosis, Does It Have Integrity?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I have received feedback that hypnosis should not be a topic on this mind, body, soul blog. Hypnosis at times generates a vast array of feedback and often carries a negative stigma.
I would like to address this belief today.
Does hypnosis belong in this blog and does it have the integrity that I should be promoting it? I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this issue.
First off, I want to remind readers this blog will only discuss what is best for the good of all. The integrity of the topics and posts will always have to address the thought, does this post/product serve for the highest good of all?
Integrity is number 1 and will contine to be my focus.
Hypnosis is controversial by nature. We utilize anywhere from 5-10% of our brain’s conscious capabilities. In this vain, we have so much to learn and explore about the brain and its function.
This leaves 90-95% to our sub conscious. With so much of our sub conscious capacity untapped, the avenues we can use to drill down to the sub conscious are fruitful.
Hypnosis is one way we can tap into this vast openess in the sub conscious. It is here in the sub conscious we have many unfilled answers to our own emotions, behaviors and personal pysches.
Hypnosis is a valuable tool we can use to learn about ourselves at a deep level. Used in the proper context, hypnosis can be beneficial beyond our belief.
Hence, I will only promote hypnosis programs that I find beneficial in the study of our personal pysches. Your personal growth will be the focus always.

I Received The Greatest Email
I received the greatest email from my friend Sara.
Have you heard about the Go Gratitude Experiment by Stacey Robyn? Do you know the Power of expressing gratitude daily?
I recommend joining the Go Gratitude 42 day experiment. It is an uplifting experience. You will receive short daily messages on gratitude for 42 days. Why 42 days? It takes 21 days to change a behavior so imagine what will happen in 42 days?!
Some days the messages hit you between the eyes and other days you may not be able to relate to the message. I found myself enjoying the experiment so much that I did it again a few months later.
I encourage you to share the Go Gratitude experiment with friends and start it on the same day. I was thrilled when a friend emailed the address to me and am grateful for this experience.
I truly found the power of Gratitude and how it can change your life.
You can learn more about the 42 day Go Gratitude experiment and begin TODAY!
I encourage you to let me know what you think of the Go Gratitude project and how it impacts your life. Leave a comment.
Below is a 2 minute Go Gratitude video.

Should You Keep a Journal?
“Keeping a journal will absolutely change your life in ways
you’ve never imagined.” - Oprah Winfrey
Why is it so important to keep a journal?
Dan Robey, from The Power of Positive Habits writes why it is important to keep a journal.
Here are just a few of the benefits a personal journal will provide you:
* A journal will remind you of your goals and the actions you are
taking towards them every day. Your are writing down your goals
for 2008, right?
* It allows you to factually track your progress as you head closer
towards your goals. Here is an example. Suppose you had
set a new goal to lose 20 lbs in the next 3 months. Record your
weight in your journal each day, you will now be able to see
trends in your weight loss that you would not have seen
without the journal.
* It provides detailed information such as dietary changes,
calorie reductions, fat reduction, and so on.
* It helps build your self-esteem because you are reaffirming the
positive benefits you are achieving as you get closer to your
goals.
* It helps to paint the picture every day of who you are becoming.
* When you see positive results as they happen, you will become
energized with optimism.
Here are a couple of simple journal tips:
Keep a simple, short log , it’s easy, and it usually only takes
1 minute of your time. Each day, make short entries into your
journal, list such things as your attitude, emotions, diet, weight,
responses to situations and conditions in your life.
For example, if having a healthy heart is one of your goals, you
will want to keep track of your cholesterol levels, your blood
pressure, your weight. (Obviously, all of this data would not be
recorded daily, but some entry would be recorded each day)
Try this simple little exercise.
Get out a note pad or a sheet of paper and a pencil. Look at your
watch. When the second hand hits 12, start timing yourself as you
write down the following information:
11/8/02 Fri.-Felt great all day. Started new walking habit.
Weight 135 pounds. Walked briskly for 20 minutes. Had healthy
almonds and nuts for snacks.
More then likely, you completed writing down the information in
approximately 1 minute. Yet, in that 1 minute, you created an
important snapshot of important data in your life. You now have
historical data you can refer to as time goes by, to help you track
your progress as you move towards your life goals.
I know how well this works. For the past 9 years, I have kept a
simple, yet informative log of every day of my life. I can tell you
exactly how I felt on Wed., July 25,1999, or any day since. I can
look back and see how I reacted to issues in my life and what helped
me overcome an illness, injury or stressful period in my life.
It generally takes me less then two minutes to record the log for
any day. It is a habit that has become a part of my life; it is now
second nature for me. If you have a computer, I recommend typing
just three to four lines of descriptive text into a word processing
program each day.

Wishing You Continued Success!

Are We Really Trying? Excerpt from The Gift of Change: By Marianne Williamson
What are you doing to change the world? Are you giving 110% effort or just treading water? Some thoughts from best selling author Marianne Williamson on changing the world…….exerpt from The Gift of Change.
Everyone I know wants the world to change. All of us want to be part of the solution. We find the thought of the complete revolution of human values a very attractive idea. Everyone’s all ready to sign up. Let’s go!
But wait. You start to hear a few little complaints. “Can we do this when ‘The West Wing’ isn’t on?” “Could I sign up for a slot between two and four on Saturday, when the kids are at soccer?” “Couldn’t we meet in a nicer place?” We’re the only generation in the history of the world that wants to reinvent society over white wine and brie.
Only in America would someone expect changing the world to be convenient! Hello. Reality check: The suffragettes had no cell phones. The abolitionists had no faxes.
They did have love in their hearts, however. And so do you and I.
I asked a friend what I should speak about at a talk I was to give in his bookshop, and he said, “Speak about the challenges of living a spiritual life today — I mean, we all try so hard!” And I thought to myself, “No, we don’t!”
For whatever reason, however, we keep telling ourselves we do. We’re all revisionists these days, and we’re not content to just revise our past — we even revise the present. We seem to have a magical belief that if we describe ourselves a certain way, then it must be true.
We talk about how hard it is to live a spiritual life when we’re not even meditating regularly or making the deepest effort to forgive those who have hurt us. Perhaps we have spent so many years in the classroom that “student mode” has become a habit.
It’s time to graduate. Enough of us know spiritual principles now; we’ve read the same books and listened to the same tapes. It’s time to become the principles now, to embody them and demonstrate them in our daily lives. Until we do, we will not really learn them at the deepest level. They will not inform our souls or transform the world.
And if that’s the case, we will go down in history as the generation that knew what we needed to know yet didn’t do what we needed to do. I can’t imagine how it would feel, to die with that realization.
We’ve subscribed to a kind of ivory tower notion of spiritual education: keep it abstract and intellectual and safe. Yet the spoils of history usually go to those willing to get dirt underneath their fingernails.
I heard a woman talking recently about her frustration with politics: “We’ve tried so hard, and nothing ever seems to change!” I thought she must be joking.
“Uh, no, we haven’t. How many of us even vote?” I asked her. “And if we do, what does that mean — we go to the voting booth every two or four years? Where do we get off thinking that we’ve tried so hard?” Are we thinking we made some supreme and noble effort to change the world, and it didn’t work?! We’ve been so trained by thirty-minute sitcoms that if we don’t get what we want in half an hour, it’s like, uh-oh, we tried but failed. Too bad. It’s over. Next.
Mother Teresa made a supreme and noble effort. Martin Luther King, Jr. made a supreme and noble effort. Susan B. Anthony made a supreme and noble effort. We have not made a supreme and noble effort. In fact, most of us make very little effort to change the world. But then we feel frustrated when we see that it’s not changing!
Usually, when people say, “We’ve tried so hard!” they’re not really talking about themselves. It’s more like, “Well, there are other people I know who have!” It’s laughable when you think about it. Perhaps we don’t realize the big secret in our midst — which isn’t how little power we have to change things, but rather how much power we have that we aren’t using! We’re like birds who were never informed, or have forgotten, we have wings.
But a great remembering is reverberating among us, and whatever we’ve done or haven’t done, succeeded at or failed at; whatever time we’ve used well or time we’ve wasted; we are here, we are available, we are present to the moment and up to the challenge.
All we need remember is this: if God has given us a job to do, He will provide for us the means by which to accomplish it. All we have to do is ask Him what He wants us to do and then be willing to do it.

Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams
I’m Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams I am. I am. I am” book by Tom and Penelope Pauley is a great read.
The Pauley’s book is very addicting where you can easily read it in one sitting. The Pauleys share a simple system to unlock the door to riches, beyond your dreams.
Timeless advice is offered throughout the book such as “Trust that God will always refill your basket and create a powerful and compelling enthusiasm for receiving.”
Tom and Penelope Pauley spell out the ingredients for allowing financial abundance into your life. Repeatedly they share the source of all good.
“True security is trusting the Universe ( God ) to provide for you. Always.”
My personal favorite concept is located in the Claim Your Wealth chapter. “This is the difference that makes millionaires out of wage-earners. You do not save the money and buy the thing. You buy the thing and the money comes.” Suggesting we have it all backwards. No doubt financial planners could get in a whole lot of trouble with this practice.
You will learn the value of tithing, asking and receiving, writing down your desires, creating a rich state of mind etc.
Bottom line, you will find value in I’m Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams. I give it thumbs up!
