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!

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!

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!

Suffering from irrational fears
is like living life in a prison.
A prison created by your own mind.
is like living life in a prison.
A prison created by your own mind.
Hypnosis can help. You will be amazed how quickly and how much! You will learn how to be in control of your mind's reactions and your emotions.
Gaining the feeling of being in control is the #1 comment that I hear from my clients.
Do you have one of the following issues?
- Nervousness and apprehensions in social situations
- Feelings of loss of control
- Academic issues because of fears in test situations?
- Fears and Apprehensions about specific people or situations?
- Fear of Public Speaking
- Fear of Flying
- Other fears or "phobias"
Many people refer to their reactions as anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, anxieties or panic attacks. It is important to note that these terms have become very commonly used and often times misused. Anxieties, phobias and panic disorders require treatment by a medical profession or mental health professional. However, many people who call their issues by these names in fact have fears and apprehensions that can be overcome with hypnosis anxiety techniques.
Your THOUGHTS create and trigger your EMOTIONAL RESPONSE. Your fears formed, unconsciously, when your mind associated a thought pattern and an emotional response with a stimulus. Those fears can be released and you can learn new thought patterns to and techniques to prevent future fears from forming as well!
How does it work?
- The relationship begins with a comprehensive intake history and surveys, conducted in person, to fully understand the genesis of your unwanted reactions, how it affects you and how you experience your feelings.
- First, we desensitize your mind to the specific triggers that have created the negative reaction in the past. This creates a freedom from the emotional reactions, and most people feel significantly better after just this step alone.
- Next, we use techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming to provide you with a new response to the situation that created the negative emotions in the past. This new response (which can be neutral or even pleasant) replaces your previous reaction, and trains the mind the correct way to respond. You learn, perhaps for the first time, a feeling of control over your mind's reactions.
- Then, you are guided through a process which provides the subconscious mind with concrete evidence that you can experience the situations that caused you fear in the past in a calm, relaxed manner. This hypnosis anxiety eliminating process is recorded for you.
- Finally, you are taught a simple, drug-free method that you can use for a lifetime that reduces the activity in the amygdala and increases your brain's production of serotonin and beta endorphins, thereby greatly reducing the potential for further anxieties to develop in the future.
People with the following issues have been able to break out of their prison and live free again, using this process:
• Shelly had a Fear of Public Speaking, which was significantly reduced in the very first session. Most people realize complete reduction of their symptoms in three sessions.
• Bruce, who suffered from panic attacks and insomnia. Five years on anti-anxiety medicines, and after five hypnosis sessions and learning meditation, he felt able to quit his medicine.
• Mike suffered from claustrophobia and was shipping out to Iraq. He was afraid that his claustrophobia would kick in when he was in the armored HumVees. After five sessions, Mike was ready, his fears behind him.
• Alisa suffered from social apprehensions. She was unable to ride in a car unless she was driving, unable even to eat in public--her fear made it impossible to swallow. After just two hypnosis sessions, she ate dinner with her family at a restaurant!
• Genie had a fear of flying and riding buses. Since she was a student on a large campus 2,000 miles from her family, this limited her life terribly. After three sessions, Genie flew back to her school without incident.
• Alyssa, who suffered from test anxiety, offers the following message:
"In October of 2008, I took the ACT test. On the way to the test, I was fine, but when the time came to take the test, my nerves kicked in. During the whole test I was nervous because I knew that this test decided my future. When I received my score, I was not pleased. I let my nerves get to me. A couple months later I decided to take the test again. I wanted help to control my nerves. Hypnosis sounded like the best option for me.
After only two sessions with Cindy, I took my ACT test. With only two sessions, I felt my nervousness disappear. I felt very calm and relaxed. I am so glad that I decided to do hypnosis."
An Update!! On February 25, 2009 I received this email from Alyssa:
"Hi, It is Alyssa. I came to you about test taking.
I just wanted to let you know that you helped me so much. My
ACT test score went up by 2 points. (Ed. Note: 2 points on the ACT is a
BIG DEAL!)
Thanks for everything, Alyssa"
And there have been many more, with similar stories. These are real results from real people with real, everyday problems that we all face from time to time, who found success using hypnosis anxiety techniques. I love working with these issues because they respond so well to hypnosis. But it goes beyond that. When you work with me, you will learn new skills that will last you a lifetime. You will learn how to recognize and control your anxiety, and when you are in control, you are out of prison for good!
Call today, don't spend another day in prison. You will notice the difference after just one session!
