Should You Consider Hypnosis?

Can I be hypnotized?

The World Hypnosis Organization says that 9 out of 10 adults can be hypnotized.

The most important thing is, Do you want to experience hypnosis?

You are always in control and can choose to accept or reject the suggestions a hypnotist gives you. That's why you can't be forced to do something you wouldn't do in a normal waking state.

What is hypnosis used for?

Hypnosis is an effective tool for changing behavior, breaking habits, increasing confidence, improved sleep, reducing negative thought patterns, boosting the immune system, and making it easier to make changes.

What are the benefits of hypnosis?

There are many benefits of hypnosis. When you first awaken, you may be groggy for a few seconds, but then you will feel refreshed and relaxed. Separating from your cares for even a few minutes may give you a feeling of relief. Now if you are motivated to change, you may notice it’s a lot easier to break a habit or even start a new positive behavior, like regular exercise. You feel stronger and more positive. You won’t notice little things as much, it increases your frustration tolerance. One of my clients told me that after his first session, that colors seemed brighter, he tasted his lunch for the first time in 20 years, he felt more cheerful and confident, he had an increased sense of well-being, and slept better. These are all part of the relaxation response, which you can obtain from hypnosis or self-hypnosis.

What about self-hypnosis?

They say all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. So why do we need a hypnotist? The hypnotist’s job is to guide the person into a relaxed state and make positive, meaningful suggestions to them. The suggestions should be carefully worded to instruct the subconscious mind to accept and work toward the person’s stated goals. When that happens, behavior can be influenced in a very direct way. Habitual behavior can be eliminated. New options can be found. A famous hypnotherapist, Dr. Milton Erickson defined hypnosis as a temporary interruption of habitual behavior in order for creative solutions to take place.

What does it feel like?

Some people experience sensations of floating, lightness or heaviness, sinking or swirling motions. Sometimes people see vivid imagery. People usually feel calm, relaxed and separate from their worries and pressures. There is less physical and emotional tension. Respiration and heartbeat slow down. If the blood pressure is high, it decreases. Most people experience hypnosis as a pleasant or even euphoric state.

Summary: Hypnosis is a pleasant natural state, which can help you make necessary changes, and has no negative side effects. So my answer is, Yes. Try it! The only thing you have to lose is the bad habit you are trying to break!

A Book Review: 100 Names for Love

I have to go to the library and find this book by Diane Ackerman, One Hundred Names for Love: a Stroke, a Marriage, and the Language of Healing. Here is a quotation from the book:

Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas, and often meet to gossip or share ideas. On the other hand, we bossed ourselves around, set impossible goals, and demanded longer hours than office jobs usually entail. It was the ultimate "flextime," in that it depended on how flexible we felt each day, given deadlines, distractions, and workaholic crescendos.

I went to the library and found the book. I took it home and started reading. It was fascinating. I couldn't put it down! I finished reading it in 3 days.

I recommend it to anyone who has a relative who experiences a stroke. The author's husband had a stroke at age 75 and this book chronicles his 5 year recovery. The famous neurologist, Oliver Sacs, visited them shortly after he returned home from the hospital. Dr. Sacs inquired as to what they were told about the "window of opportunity." The author said 3 months. Dr. Sacs informed her that the brain can continue to heal and learn new skills as long as it is challenged. The author decided to devise her own therapy to encourage her husband to recover his verbal faculties. The book shows how successful they were.

After I finished the book, I purchased a copy and sent it to a friend, whose husband had a stroke 3 weeks ago. Her husband is much younger, but has brain damage in some of the same areas. I encouraged her to read it, because it is optimistic in it's viewpoint, and also has resources in the last chapter.

I think this book deserves 5 stars.

The vocabulary is fantastic and I will write another blog and publish it in my other blog, musinglog.blogspot.com.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Though Memorial Day has a solemn meaning, it is also an opportunity to say I love you to friends, family members, and any vets you may encounter!

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the souls who died,
who gave that right to me.

Happy Memorial Day 2014

I would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to a workshop called "Pay It Forward,"  in Palm Harbor in 2 weeks. This workshop will be about how to express gratitude by paying it Forward, rather than Back.

What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is defined as a heightened state of awareness, or consciousness.There has been research to show that mindfulness increases our social and emotional skills, so that we may manage stress better, learn to focus, become more self-aware, and develop kindness and compassion for others. It boosts mental and physical health. You can learn some simple hypnotic techniques to foster mindfulness and satisfaction in all areas of your life.

I Love Words!

I really do love words. Spoken or written. They fill my heart with happiness and gratitude. Here's an example of a poem I love, by a poet I know personally. He has given me permission to publish this.

      Words are very Important to Me!

Each of us are the sum of all we have been and done,
Our knowledge and experiences make us a different one.
I find it amazing the thoughts that I continually write.
At times messages come to me in the middle of the night.
There is no special time or place when they come. I must write.
At times one word speaks volumes to me, like proud and love.
They touch my heart like words that come from above.
Hugs and kisses are wonderful too, but words are special to me.
I love you and I am proud of you have an impact you may not see.
These words make me stand real tall and put a spring in my step.
My joy for life comes from my inside out, my promises are kept.
I cling to words that inspire me, God controls my words and steps.
I find it easy to live and to lov,e always His promises must be kept!
When you allow God to control each day, your words will be meaningful,
Life lived with purpose and goals, makes a joyful life and a contented soul.

Peter W. Bartlett, PhD

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, 

be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord my strength and my Redeemer.

Hypnotic Master Mind Group

No two minds ever came together without creating a third invisible intangible mind, which may be likened to a third mind.
-- Napolean Hill

The Mastermind principle as defined by Napolean Hill is a way to accomplish your intentions. It helps to keep motivation high by using the power of a group to increase personal responsibility and hold the individual accountable for thier stated intentions. At every meeting, each member can get suggestions for actionable steps to take. The individual then commits to taking some of these steps before the next meeting. Each member helps the other members. Since the group mind is much greater than the sum of its parts it can provide numerous solutions to any problem. Then the member can choose the steps that they will make.

We will conduct a group hypnosis session at every meeting. NGH members can get 1 CEU for attending the Hypnotic Mastermind meeting.

Bagel Talk Sunday 2-3-13

We did not have an average, everyday meeting this week. We had a contest! Actually 2 contests, the International Speech Contest and the Table Topics Competition. There were 5 contestants in each. It was wonderful.  All the speakers were at the top of their game and gave delightful, insightful, informative, and inspiring speeches on various topics: How to Avoid Being a Victim, How to Think Straight, The Day of Infamy, and Live to 103!

For Table Topics, all the contestants were put on the spot with the Prompt "If I ruled the World..."

It was so much fun. This is why I love Toastmasters International.

Every Sunday at 9:30 AM
Inn on the Pond
Clearwater, FL

The area speech contest, which will have the winners from our club and 4 others will take place on Sunday, March 3.

Toastmaster Leadership Institute 1/12/13

I attended the TLI this morning at SPC in Clearwater. It was fantastic! I learned so much from some wonderful speakers. I especially liked the keynote in the beginning, by Robin R. She explained the 7 Habits of Highly Ineffective Leaders with respect to becoming a "Distinguished Club." It was hilarious!

I joined Toastmaster in 2008 when I decided to work on being a more dynamic speaker. I have recently rejoined, because I just love the challenge. It's so much fun, now, but when I started it was such hard work. I should be getting my Advanced Communicator Bronze certificate at the next meeting!

I now attend meetings on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am at the Inn on the Pond in Clearwater. It's a small group, but we have a few new members and it is always exciting to see how quickly people transform into capable public speakers!

 Please feell freee to join us any Sunday morning at 9:30 am. I'm sure you will enjoy it! The meeting lasts 75 minutes and there is no charge.

Mesmerizing Bagel Talk

I feel exultant this morning (Sunday, October 7)!  I attended the Bagel Talk Toastmasters Club this morning at 9:30 AM. I was one of the 3 speakers scheduled for today. The word of the day was "exultant."

In order to bring history to life I performed a dramatic speech, entitled Franz Anton Mesmer, A Magnetic Personality. I mistakenly thought that everyone knew who he was. All the hypnotists that I am acquainted with know that he is considered the father of hypnosis. For more info, please see my other blog, Musinglog, entitled "A Mesmerizing Personality"(I changed the title). So I learned something today, never to assume people know something.

Even so, it went well, and I won the Best Speaker Award for today! That's way I started out with feeling exultant!

I was working on being more dramatic and flamboyant, like Mesmer was. That's what I love about Toastmasters. You can learn so much and have a blast doing it. But you have to actually speak in public in order to get more confident speaking in public. I dropped Speech when I was in college, because I was afraid to do a 3 minute speech. Now I truly enjoy it. Yes, I enjoy it!
