From the Editor's Desk

Welcome to the December 2009 issue of Hypnosis Monthly, where each month you will find helpful and reliable information about hypnosis, interviews and articles from leaders in the field (see this month's video from Richard Nongard!) and even from time to time free hypnosis downloads!

This month's issue includes an interview from just this past week that I did with Tom Nicoli on my radio show, Hypnosis Today Radio, about World Hypnotism Day and the profession of hypnosis. I'm sure you'll find it enlightening!  I've put together a little video with a short hypnosis session in it, so you can watch (or not, it's ok if you close your eyes!) and "get hyp" with this issue. Also in this issue I discuss choice and empowerment, give you some hints about the EXCITING new offering that we'll announce on January 6th 2010 and I have a very special price on a brand new set of three meditations that I'm offering for the first time here in HM Mag!

I hope you find the articles, videos and audios informative and interesting.  If you have a suggestion for what you'd like to see here, please drop me a line and we'll get it into a future issue!

Yours in Health,

Cindy Locher, CH

Video to Hypnotize:  Increase the Love in Your Life!



Ready to "get hyp?" This short video will hypnotize you (well, really I guess it's more the audio that will hypnotize you, although the video's pretty hypnotic as well).  This is a guided meditation that I wrote to bring more love into your life, appropriate for this, or any, time of the year, yes?  Enjoy!

If for some reason you don't see the video on the version of this that you're viewing, you can click here to see it:  Hypnosis Love Video.

Choice and Empowerment
Cindy Locher, CH

I've been thinking a lot lately about choice and empowerment.  I truly believe that everyone has a choice in everything that we do, in every area of our life.  Free Will.  In all things.  Which means that the life you are living today is based on the choices you have made up until now.

Now, I know that there are people who don't agree with this. Despite the fact that they are in personally limiting jobs or relationships, they don't see themselves as having a choice to make a change.  "I can't leave her/him/the job."  Well, and maybe leaving is not the only choice, and that's where empowerment comes in, because part of empowerment is the ability to realize that there are an infinite number of choices that can be made at any one point in time, and when you feel empowered, you feel the reality of those choices, and you truly feel that the most powerful thing you can do is to choose between those choices. 

I know a lot of people are feeling disempowered right now.  "But," they are saying, "I didn't make a choice to get laid off from my job.  I didn't make a choice for this economy to go into the toilet."  That's right, you didn't.  Things do happen TO us.  What we have a choice in is how we respond to those events and how many choices we see for ourselves.  Once again, that's where empowerment comes in.  Empowered people feel that there are infinite choices, infinite RESPONSES, to their environment and the events in their lives.  They don't feel limited, and most importantly they don't limit themselves. 

When I was 12 years old I remember my Dad saying to me, "Never tell yourself no. You may find out through your efforts that the world tells you the answer is no, or the answer is something else, but never tell yourself no."  What he was saying is realize you have choices, and that you and only you have the power to make those choices, and that the only person who can give you permission to pursue choices is YOU.  If YOU aren't going to give yourself permission, no one else is.

I was listening to a teleseminar yesterday with Glenn Dietzl, and he asked the question, "When was the last time somebody gave you permission to think big?"  It was a great teleseminar, but that question pulled me up short.  Why should I be looking or waiting for someone to give me permission to think big?  Isn't that MY role, to give MYSELF that permission? And if I don't perceive things that way, why not? I believe thinking through and journaling on THESE questions is the path toward empowerment, rather than thinking and journaling on when was the last time someone else gave me permission. 

Permission?  I don't need their stinking permission!  I'll give myself permission--and so should you! 

If you are struggling with messages and beliefs from your past that prevent you from giving yourself permission, think about using hypnosis or self hypnosis to eliminate and replace your limiting beliefs, build your self esteem, and create a larger and infinitely more rewarding world for yourself by saying YES to yourself, and giving yourself permission!
