Is Dis­trac­tion Sab­o­tag­ing Your Life? Some­times dis­trac­tion is a tap on our shoul­der from within telling us that we are off track. We have strayed from our orig­i­nal inten­tion that fed our deep­est sense of self — our true desire and inten­tion. This dis­trac­tion, or stray­ing, can be dis­guised as pro­cras­ti­na­tion, lack of orga­ni­za­tion or the feel­ing of being too busy. And yes, although these sit­u­a­tions can be true, some­times it is a sign that we need to delve deeper into our motives. I have a client I’ll call “stuck Steve”. Due to...

10 Steps for Self Hypnosis

Posted by on Jun 28, 2011 in Hypnosis | 0 comments

Place your­self in a com­fort­able posi­tion, prefer­ably in a sit­ting or semi-reclining position. Famil­iar­ize your­self with the sounds in and around the room, and tell your­self that any dis­tur­bances won’t inter­rupt you at all, and can be a sig­nal to go even deeper. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath­ing. Feel cool air going into your lungs and warm air going out. (repeat sev­eral times) Focus your atten­tion at the top of your head or begin at your feet. Tell your mus­cles to “relax”, such as “scalp relax”, “fore­head relax etc.”...

Judg­ments By Brett Haughian Just sit­ting here think­ing about judg­ments.  We’re all famil­iar with them.  Judg­ments about our part­ners, our par­ents, our friends, our friends’ friends, strangers, sit­u­a­tions.  “She’s so con­de­scend­ing.  Why are you so self-absorbed? Why can’t he say any­thing mean­ing­ful?  Is that dri­ver an idiot or what?” And we save some of our best judg­ments for our­selves. “How could I be so stu­pid?”  We even have judg­ments about our judg­ments.  “I’m a ter­ri­ble per­son for thinking/saying that.” We...

HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED NO, I’m not going to make you bark like a dog, or cluck like a chicken, but I’m imag­in­ing that when you think of hyp­no­sis, this is what you think of. Today I am going to attempt to demys­tify hyp­no­sis, while illus­trat­ing it’s value as therapy. Hyp­no­sis is defined as an altered state where one has direct com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the sub­con­scious mind. Most of us equate hyp­no­sis to some­thing that is hap­pen­ing to us, like a pup­pet who’s strings are being pulled and con­trolled by the Pup­peteer. In actu­al­ity, the...

Why can’t he say any­thing mean­ing­ful?  Is that dri­ver an idiot or what?” And we save some of our best judg­ments for our­selves. “How could I be so stu­pid?”  We even have judg­ments about our judg­ments.  “I’m a ter­ri­ble per­son for thinking/saying that.” We...

HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED NO, I’m not going to make you bark like a dog, or cluck like a chicken, but I’m imag­in­ing that when you think of hyp­no­sis, this is what you think of. Today I am going to attempt to demys­tify hyp­no­sis, while illus­trat­ing it’s value as therapy. Hyp­no­sis is defined as an altered state where one has direct com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the sub­con­scious mind. Most of us equate hyp­no­sis to some­thing that is hap­pen­ing to us, like a pup­pet who’s strings are being pulled and con­trolled by the Pup­peteer. In actu­al­ity, the...

Is Dis­trac­tion Sab­o­tag­ing Your Life? Some­times dis­trac­tion is a tap on our shoul­der from within telling us that we are off track. We have strayed from our orig­i­nal inten­tion that fed our deep­est sense of self — our true desire and inten­tion. This dis­trac­tion, or stray­ing, can be dis­guised as pro­cras­ti­na­tion, lack of orga­ni­za­tion or the feel­ing of being too busy. And yes, although these sit­u­a­tions can be true, some­times it is a sign that we need to delve deeper into our motives. I have a client I’ll call “stuck Steve”. Due to...

10 Steps for Self Hypnosis

Place your­self in a com­fort­able posi­tion, prefer­ably in a sit­ting or semi-reclining position. Famil­iar­ize your­self with the sounds in and around the room, and tell your­self that any dis­tur­bances won’t inter­rupt you at all, and can be a sig­nal to go even deeper. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath­ing. Feel cool air going into your lungs and warm air going out. (repeat sev­eral times) Focus your atten­tion at the top of your head or begin at your feet. Tell your mus­cles to “relax”, such as “scalp relax”, “fore­head relax etc.”...

This dis­trac­tion, or stray­ing, can be dis­guised as pro­cras­ti­na­tion, lack of orga­ni­za­tion or the feel­ing of being too busy. And yes, although these sit­u­a­tions can be true, some­times it is a sign that we need to delve deeper into our motives. I have a client I’ll call “stuck Steve”. Due to...

10 Steps for Self Hypnosis

Posted by on Jun 28, 2011 in Hypnosis | 0 comments

Place your­self in a com­fort­able posi­tion, prefer­ably in a sit­ting or semi-reclining position. Famil­iar­ize your­self with the sounds in and around the room, and tell your­self that any dis­tur­bances won’t inter­rupt you at all, and can be a sig­nal to go even deeper. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath­ing. Feel cool air going into your lungs and warm air going out. (repeat sev­eral times) Focus your atten­tion at the top of your head or begin at your feet. Tell your mus­cles to “relax”, such as “scalp relax”, “fore­head relax etc.”...

Judg­ments By Brett Haughian Just sit­ting here think­ing about judg­ments.  We’re all famil­iar with them.  Judg­ments about our part­ners, our par­ents, our friends, our friends’ friends, strangers, sit­u­a­tions.  “She’s so con­de­scend­ing.  Why are you so self-absorbed? Why can’t he say any­thing mean­ing­ful?  Is that dri­ver an idiot or what?” And we save some of our best judg­ments for our­selves. “How could I be so stu­pid?”  We even have judg­ments about our judg­ments.  “I’m a ter­ri­ble per­son for thinking/saying that.” We...

HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED NO, I’m not going to make you bark like a dog, or cluck like a chicken, but I’m imag­in­ing that when you think of hyp­no­sis, this is what you think of. Today I am going to attempt to demys­tify hyp­no­sis, while illus­trat­ing it’s value as therapy. Hyp­no­sis is defined as an altered state where one has direct com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the sub­con­scious mind. Most of us equate hyp­no­sis to some­thing that is hap­pen­ing to us, like a pup­pet who’s strings are being pulled and con­trolled by the Pup­peteer. In actu­al­ity, the...

Why can’t he say any­thing mean­ing­ful?  Is that dri­ver an idiot or what?” And we save some of our best judg­ments for our­selves. “How could I be so stu­pid?”  We even have judg­ments about our judg­ments.  “I’m a ter­ri­ble per­son for thinking/saying that.” We...

HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED NO, I’m not going to make you bark like a dog, or cluck like a chicken, but I’m imag­in­ing that when you think of hyp­no­sis, this is what you think of. Today I am going to attempt to demys­tify hyp­no­sis, while illus­trat­ing it’s value as therapy. Hyp­no­sis is defined as an altered state where one has direct com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the sub­con­scious mind. Most of us equate hyp­no­sis to some­thing that is hap­pen­ing to us, like a pup­pet who’s strings are being pulled and con­trolled by the Pup­peteer. In actu­al­ity, the...

Is Dis­trac­tion Sab­o­tag­ing Your Life? Some­times dis­trac­tion is a tap on our shoul­der from within telling us that we are off track. We have strayed from our orig­i­nal inten­tion that fed our deep­est sense of self — our true desire and inten­tion. This dis­trac­tion, or stray­ing, can be dis­guised as pro­cras­ti­na­tion, lack of orga­ni­za­tion or the feel­ing of being too busy. And yes, although these sit­u­a­tions can be true, some­times it is a sign that we need to delve deeper into our motives. I have a client I’ll call “stuck Steve”. Due to...

10 Steps for Self Hypnosis

Place your­self in a com­fort­able posi­tion, prefer­ably in a sit­ting or semi-reclining position. Famil­iar­ize your­self with the sounds in and around the room, and tell your­self that any dis­tur­bances won’t inter­rupt you at all, and can be a sig­nal to go even deeper. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath­ing. Feel cool air going into your lungs and warm air going out. (repeat sev­eral times) Focus your atten­tion at the top of your head or begin at your feet. Tell your mus­cles to “relax”, such as “scalp relax”, “fore­head relax etc.”...

This dis­trac­tion, or stray­ing, can be dis­guised as pro­cras­ti­na­tion, lack of orga­ni­za­tion or the feel­ing of being too busy. And yes, although these sit­u­a­tions can be true, some­times it is a sign that we need to delve deeper into our motives. I have a client I’ll call “stuck Steve”. Due to...

10 Steps for Self Hypnosis

Posted by on Jun 28, 2011 in Hypnosis | 0 comments

Place your­self in a com­fort­able posi­tion, prefer­ably in a sit­ting or semi-reclining position. Famil­iar­ize your­self with the sounds in and around the room, and tell your­self that any dis­tur­bances won’t inter­rupt you at all, and can be a sig­nal to go even deeper. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath­ing. Feel cool air going into your lungs and warm air going out. (repeat sev­eral times) Focus your atten­tion at the top of your head or begin at your feet. Tell your mus­cles to “relax”, such as “scalp relax”, “fore­head relax etc.”...

Judg­ments By Brett Haughian Just sit­ting here think­ing about judg­ments.  We’re all famil­iar with them.  Judg­ments about our part­ners, our par­ents, our friends, our friends’ friends, strangers, sit­u­a­tions.  “She’s so con­de­scend­ing.  Why are you so self-absorbed? Why can’t he say any­thing mean­ing­ful?  Is that dri­ver an idiot or what?” And we save some of our best judg­ments for our­selves. “How could I be so stu­pid?”  We even have judg­ments about our judg­ments.  “I’m a ter­ri­ble per­son for thinking/saying that.” We...

HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED NO, I’m not going to make you bark like a dog, or cluck like a chicken, but I’m imag­in­ing that when you think of hyp­no­sis, this is what you think of. Today I am going to attempt to demys­tify hyp­no­sis, while illus­trat­ing it’s value as therapy. Hyp­no­sis is defined as an altered state where one has direct com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the sub­con­scious mind. Most of us equate hyp­no­sis to some­thing that is hap­pen­ing to us, like a pup­pet who’s strings are being pulled and con­trolled by the Pup­peteer. In actu­al­ity, the...

Why can’t he say any­thing mean­ing­ful?  Is that dri­ver an idiot or what?” And we save some of our best judg­ments for our­selves. “How could I be so stu­pid?”  We even have judg­ments about our judg­ments.  “I’m a ter­ri­ble per­son for thinking/saying that.” We...

HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED NO, I’m not going to make you bark like a dog, or cluck like a chicken, but I’m imag­in­ing that when you think of hyp­no­sis, this is what you think of. Today I am going to attempt to demys­tify hyp­no­sis, while illus­trat­ing it’s value as therapy. Hyp­no­sis is defined as an altered state where one has direct com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the sub­con­scious mind. Most of us equate hyp­no­sis to some­thing that is hap­pen­ing to us, like a pup­pet who’s strings are being pulled and con­trolled by the Pup­peteer. In actu­al­ity, the...

Is Dis­trac­tion Sab­o­tag­ing Your Life? Some­times dis­trac­tion is a tap on our shoul­der from within telling us that we are off track. We have strayed from our orig­i­nal inten­tion that fed our deep­est sense of self — our true desire and inten­tion. This dis­trac­tion, or stray­ing, can be dis­guised as pro­cras­ti­na­tion, lack of orga­ni­za­tion or the feel­ing of being too busy. And yes, although these sit­u­a­tions can be true, some­times it is a sign that we need to delve deeper into our motives. I have a client I’ll call “stuck Steve”. Due to...

10 Steps for Self Hypnosis

Place your­self in a com­fort­able posi­tion, prefer­ably in a sit­ting or semi-reclining position. Famil­iar­ize your­self with the sounds in and around the room, and tell your­self that any dis­tur­bances won’t inter­rupt you at all, and can be a sig­nal to go even deeper. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath­ing. Feel cool air going into your lungs and warm air going out. (repeat sev­eral times) Focus your atten­tion at the top of your head or begin at your feet. Tell your mus­cles to “relax”, such as “scalp relax”, “fore­head relax etc.”...

This dis­trac­tion, or stray­ing, can be dis­guised as pro­cras­ti­na­tion, lack of orga­ni­za­tion or the feel­ing of being too busy. And yes, although these sit­u­a­tions can be true, some­times it is a sign that we need to delve deeper into our motives. I have a client I’ll call “stuck Steve”. Due to...

10 Steps for Self Hypnosis

Posted by on Jun 28, 2011 in Hypnosis | 0 comments

Place your­self in a com­fort­able posi­tion, prefer­ably in a sit­ting or semi-reclining position. Famil­iar­ize your­self with the sounds in and around the room, and tell your­self that any dis­tur­bances won’t inter­rupt you at all, and can be a sig­nal to go even deeper. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath­ing. Feel cool air going into your lungs and warm air going out. (repeat sev­eral times) Focus your atten­tion at the top of your head or begin at your feet. Tell your mus­cles to “relax”, such as “scalp relax”, “fore­head relax etc.”...

Judg­ments By Brett Haughian Just sit­ting here think­ing about judg­ments.  We’re all famil­iar with them.  Judg­ments about our part­ners, our par­ents, our friends, our friends’ friends, strangers, sit­u­a­tions.  “She’s so con­de­scend­ing.  Why are you so self-absorbed? Why can’t he say any­thing mean­ing­ful?  Is that dri­ver an idiot or what?” And we save some of our best judg­ments for our­selves. “How could I be so stu­pid?”  We even have judg­ments about our judg­ments.  “I’m a ter­ri­ble per­son for thinking/saying that.” We...

HYPNOSIS DEMYSTIFIED NO, I’m not going to make you bark like a dog, or cluck like a chicken, but I’m imag­in­ing that when you think of hyp­no­sis, this is what you think of. Today I am going to attempt to demys­tify hyp­no­sis, while illus­trat­ing it’s value as therapy. Hyp­no­sis is defined as an altered state where one has direct com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the sub­con­scious mind. Most of us equate hyp­no­sis to some­thing that is hap­pen­ing to us, like a pup­pet who’s strings are being pulled and con­trolled by the Pup­peteer. In actu­al­ity, the...
