History of World Hypnotism Day
The origin of hypnosis in Western science can be traced back to 1770. Franz Mesmer, born in 1734, was a German physician who used hypnosis as a form of therapy to treat his patients in Vienna and Paris. Mesmer’s method interested other medical practitioners and they called it mesmerism after his name. Unfortunately, hypnosis was mistaken for an occultist practice, and it was suppressed. Later on, Scottish surgeon James Braid came up with the terms ‘hypnotism’ and ‘hypnosis’.

In 2004, Board Certified Hypnotist Tom Nicoli and the World Hypnotism Day Committee began the observance to motivate hypnotism experts to educate people and promote the real benefits of and truth about hypnosis. The initial observance kicked off myth-busting events that provided proof, free consultations and an awareness of the part hypnosis can play in our health. World Hypnotism Day on January 4 emphasizes the fact that hypnosis is beneficial. On this day, we are encouraged to eliminate the misconceptions and misunderstandings about hypnotism and to truly embrace it as the useful aid that it is.

When under hypnosis, a person will see, feel, smell, and perceive in harmony with the hypnotist’s guidance, even if these guides are in obvious contradiction to the actual stimuli existing in the environment. Apparent outcomes of hypnosis are sensory changes, the subject’s memory and self-awareness are altered by guidance, and the effects of this guidance may be felt (post-hypnotically) even after the subject wakes up. Hypnosis is a life-changing opportunity. It is a way for someone to write new chapters in their life, so to speak.

Nope. While some of you might think this is how hypnosis is done, it's not.

Happy World Hypnosis Day!!

Maybe it’s not just a coincidence that World Hypnosis Day comes right at the beginning of the year. We all just went through what could be a somewhat stressful holiday season for many and are finally getting to the point that we can relax, calm down and gain a bit of normalcy in our lives. Or are we?

Sure, this is the time of year where we all come up with our New Year Resolutions but let me ask…. Are they the same one’s you had last year? For the last several years running? How about finally getting a handle on them and actually doing something about it.

Did you know that 70% of smokers want to quit? They just don’t know how. There’s a very scary prescription medication for smoking cessation that was originally approved for depression. Is that a solution you want to pursue? I’ve seen medical studies that showed ni****ne gum and patches are actually detrimental to your quitting. And “cold turkey” has less than a 6% chance of working. I tell clients that when they call to schedule an appointment, they’ve done the hardest part and that was to pick up the phone and make the call. I quote the average of 80%-90% success rate with just one session but more often than not – it’s one and done.

Weight Management. My clients can usually identify two or three things that if they could just get their behavior change around them, they could lose the weight they want – or need. I call a diet a four letter work. They’re almost always doomed to failure. You’re doing something you don’t want to or asked to give up something you want. What if you didn’t want that second helping? What if you didn’t want those sweets? What if you didn’t want to snack between meals? You’re not doing anything you don’t want to do, you’re doing exactly what you want. Losing weight doesn’t have to be a battle. It’s all a matter of changing your mind.

And how about all that stress in your life? People will tell you to pull up your boots and deal with it but that’s not always easily done. Stress is a multi-billion dollar problem in the United States with heart attacks, high blood pressure, strokes, etc. It doesn’t have to be that way. I like to ask clients when they come out of a hypnosis induction if they feel any stress right then. Never. Stress is a learned behavior and anything you learn – you can unlearn.

And how about all the others….. fears, phobias, sports enhancement, confidence building, sales motivation, child behavior modification.… and the list goes on. Check out my website at https://www.AnewHypnotherapy.com and see all the possibilities that are available with hypnosis.

Want a better you? Change your mind. I'm ready when you are.

Happy Summer Time!

This time of the year, many of us are engaged in multiple outdoor sports. And while most of us aren't doing it for competitive purposes, we still want to do our best and enjoy the activity. Here's where hypnosis can come in.

Golf is a good example. That game is played 90% between the ears. We see water in front of us and we just know the ball is going in. We have a makeable putt and we just know we're going to miss it. It's a short chip to the green and you're thinking it's going to end up rolling off the back of the green. And what happens in all those situations? Exactly what you expected.

But what if you changed your mind? What if you had a positive attitude about the outcome? You know how to play the game. You've swung that golf club umpteen-hundred times and know what to do. Change your mindset and you just might change your game. Are you going to hit every shot perfectly? Nope. If you could do that, you'd be playing on the circuit and even the professionals don't hit the perfect shot all the time. And when you do mish*t a shot, that's history. You can't change history. So forget about that shot. Learn something from that mish*t and concentrate on the next shot - the one that you can actually do something about.

Pick your sport. So many of them require you to have the right mental attitude to execute to your best ability. You will enjoy the sport so much more when you're doing your personal best and avoiding the mistakes you've continually made in the past. Doesn't have to be in a big tournament - just a fun game with friends.

Want to improve in a given sport? Change your mind. Read more about what can be done at https://www.AnewHypnotherapy.com and then give me a call for an appointment.
