It all started with a single thought

On May 6th 1954, Roger Bannister had thoughts of running a sub-four minute mile, which had never been done before. Not only did he succeed but he opened the door for 45 other runners to have the same dream and in tern, accomplished the same feat over the course of the next eighteen months.  We follow the path of our most dominant thoughts. Hypnosis helps us to powerfully reshape our feelings and expectations which can lead to dramatic life change. I’m sure Roger would agree.

Americans clueless on nutrition

The International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation just released the results of their 2012 Food & Health Survey. Their findings show Americans knowledge on nutrition is a bit of a contradiction. While people said their nutrition is important and they want to make improvements, they also said they are unsure of what to eat to stay healthy and maintain a healthy weight.
The findings also found men and women flip-flop when it comes to eating healthy and exercise.

Men find it harder to eat right than exercise, while the opposite is true for women. Another interesting finding saw 87 percent pointing to taste as the most important factor in the food they choose, with price as the second determination.

The worst statistic of all, less than 10% could correctly estimate the number of calories they need to maintain their and only three in 10 believe all sources of calories play a role in weight gain. Multiple studies have found calories are the principle cause of weight gain and the premise of this site is to help people stay informed. Spread the word, it’s sad to know so many want to lose weight, are trying hard to, but are simply misinformed.

Hospital saves big money with pre-op hypnosis.

In one study an average savings of $1,200 per patient resulted from this simple 5-minute intervention of hypnosis before surgery. (Western Journal of Medicine. 1993) Those who are mentally prepared for surgery consistently have fewer complications, require fewer medications, and heal more quickly.
The reason pre-surgical hypnosis is so effective is because it offers direct access to our most powerful level of thought, the subconscious mind. This enables individuals to powerfully fine tune and prepare body and mind for surgery.

How thoughts become things

Another competitive advantage of hypnosis is that the imagination resides in the subconscious mind. This offers the unique opportunity to begin seeing and feeling the positive change you desire. With hypnosis one can engage in the ongoing process of self-design which gives the subconscious the necessary information to begin creating patterns supporting what you most frequently consider.

We all follow the path of our most dominant thoughts; we are what we think we are. If unhealthy patterns have been repeated for decades then who we are is deeply rooted in the subconscious. All diets fail because they are just temporary conscious level attempts to alter subconscious level patterns. Hypnosis is the only point-of-cause modality that treats the real problem which is not the weight but rather the thoughts that led to the weight.

Mirror effect

This was forwarded to me today, I hope you like it.:

“I was talking to my neighbor in the driveway the other day and he mentioned something in conversation that caught my attention. He said that he thinks strangers have started smiling at him more often than they used to. He said people rarely made eye contact with him and didn’t seem very friendly… until recently. He said he couldn’t believe how a simple smile from a stranger could warm his heart, and wondered if the world had become a kinder place. Then he caught his reflection in the car mirror and nodded with satisfaction, almost as if he had solved an intricate puzzle. He had been smiling during our entire conversation without even knowing it. ”

“Here’s the way I see it: People are like mirrors. We reflect each others attitudes, love, and passion for life. Just remember, if your business needs help reflecting its personality with promotional materials that shine, we’re just a phone call away!”
