Welcome |
"I want to be
enlightened," said the young man sitting in the hypnosis
chair opposite me, "and I'd like it to happen as soon as
possible which is why I'm here," he added. He
explained that he'd just recently become spiritual and
wanted to go "all the way" quickly because he had a lot
of things to do before he turned 30, and this was one of
them.
|
 | I explained that
enlightenment wasn't like baseball, where you could possibly
hit a home run in your first game it takes a little longer
than that. A little more focus. A little more wisdom. And a
lot more life! I suggested we start with a mutual
understanding of what he meant by becoming spiritual
because it is different for everyone. For him, he had
connected with his higher self during a Reiki session and had
loved the feeling of peace it had given him. He wanted more,
and bigger, along with the magic that comes with it.
During that session, we discussed the different forms of
spirituality available (including formal religions, wicca, and
new age), how they all related to each other, and how we all
related to the universe and each other. I suggested he start
his journey by going to the Shambhala Centre to learn to
meditate, maybe take a yoga class (yes, there are yoga classes
for guys, I reassured him), and reconnect with the nature he
so loved as a child. We would continue to work on his current
life issues so that he didn't get caught up in the "spiritual
bypass" syndrome, and when ready, we would travel to past
lives and life between lives. He got it: Enlightenment comes
with living. Living with awareness, love, and kindness. And so
does the magic!
Where do you find your enlightenment? At sunset or sunrise?
With bird song? By the sea? On a mountain? With music? With a
beloved?
Wishing you joy with your magic. Namaste,
Georgina

| Train Your Brain: Think Like an
Athlete |
| by Vanessa Agosta
| |
|
|
 |
Top-level athletes win
competitions for two reasons: (1) They are physically
skilful and strong, and (2) they are mentally skilful
and strong. | |
Years of research and hundreds of
studies have shown that psychological preparation is
crucial to optimum performance. So how can the
strategies of top-level athletes help you succeed? Read
on for a short lesson in "mental management" to enhance
your own fitness success.
Practise Focused
Attention
While most people spend a lot of time
worrying about things they can't control, successful
athletes pay attention to what is within their control.
Control distractions by making a checklist of everything
that might derail you from accomplishing your fitness
goal. Eliminate the things you have no power over, like
the weather, and focus on those you do, like having the
proper shoes or equipment for your activity.
Visualize Successes
Athletes create
mental images, like pictures or movies, of a desired
outcome. While envisioning these scenarios, they imagine
every visual detail and the way it actually feels to
perform just the way they want to. With mental
rehearsal, their minds and bodies become trained to
actually perform the skill imagined.
Take some
time before your workout or your game to visualize
yourself going through the motions, feeling energized
and strong. Then while you are exercising, visualize the
muscles that are working and feel them as they contract
and release. This helps intensify your workouts, and
you'll get results more quickly. Try it a few times and
you'll start to realize you can isolate muscles better
and push them harder because you're focusing on them.
Talk to Yourself A Lot
Believe it or
not, even high-performance athletes need to give
themselves pep talks every now and again. But it's not
simply going through the motions of telling themselves
"I'm going to win this" or "I'm a competent person" that
makes the technique successful; it's the fact that they
truly believe what they tell themselves. So make
positive self-statements continually-but more
importantly, believe them. Don't fight your inner
critic; simply acknowledge the presence of negative
thoughts, and then substitute them with positive
affirmations.
Even if you have no intention of
becoming a top-notch athlete, putting these principles
into practice will help you to be better at whatever you
do. Granted, training your mind takes as much discipline
as training your body. But as with any big task, take
your time with it and be persistent. Eventually, you'll
improve. Take it from a non-Olympic athlete who has
tried it on both her clients and herself: This stuff
does work!

After taking the
Professional Hypnotherapy diploma course with OHC
in the summer of 2004 and assessing how I have
changed within and the motivators that have
influenced that change, I definitely have to say
the biggest factor has been my training in
hypnosis. It has given me insight into who I am
and who I want to become.
|
The most powerful tool
I have learned is self-hypnosis. It is so incredibly
simple to learn and yet the benefits gained from putting
it into practice are astronomical. The hypnosis training
that I have had thus far has given me greater
self-confidence, more self-awareness, and an unwavering
belief within myself that I can be, do, and have
anything that I want.
I use self-hypnosis
regularly to help me focus on what I am trying to
accomplish or change at any given time. Since the summer
of 2004, the technique has helped me achieve the
following goals:
quit smoking (during my hypnosis training with OHC
in 2004)
lost 26 pounds in 20052006, using a combination of
my hypnosis training and Weight Watchers (I've kept the
weight off and am healthier, happier, and look and feel
better than I ever have)
started walking twice a day and have kept that up
since the summer of 2004
had the courage to walk away from an extremely bad
second marriage
hosted my first personal development seminar "How
to Be, Do, and Have Anything You So Choose" and had 50
people show up for it (fall of 2004)
wrote and published my first book, Inner
Metamorphosis, January 2006
conquered my fear of driving on major highways (I
still do not enjoy it but at least I'm doing it.
Hypnosis works!)
did a presentation at the 2006 NGH convention (my
"Hypnosize Me" weight management program), was impressed
with my own results, and got a great review and turnout
got braces to straighten my teeth (that may not seem
like such a big thing, but for me it was huge)
overcame a 10-year-old ankle injury and began
running
am writing a second book on wealth and success
called Millionaire Mindset and am planning a June 2007
release date (I never would have had the guts to write a
book on this subject or approach and interview people
without having greater self-confidence)
purchased a brand new Toyota Matrix in November 2005
while in the midst of a bankruptcy and paid it off
within a year, and have recently purchased a new home
I could go on and on with positive things that
have happened to me since the day I walked out of OHC's
hypnosis class. That was the first day of a new life for
me. And I am improving every single day. And now, along
with saying each night "Every day in every respect I get
better and better," every morning before my feet hit the
ground, I tell myself "I'm going out to create
miracles." And something wonderful always shows up for
me.
