Hypnosis and affirmations: The dynamic duo for manifestation

When I first heard about the power of affirmations I was so excited!  I had heard the concept before...as a matter of fact a theme repeated often during my younger years was "what your mind can conceive you can achieve."  What a concept! If there was something desired by simply thinking about it...it could manifest?  I was ready to ride this rodeo of positive affirmations and wonderful manifestations of good.  But not so fast cowgirl...there was something missing...I grew up in what was considered a not so great part of town and I was considered a "minority".  Minor is not a way to describe success filled dreams.  I was not so thin and not so perfect. There were literally thousands of reasons why this concept would not work.  Intellectually it didn't seem possible. The odds seemed to be against me as well as several people.  I persisted anyway.  Oftentimes failing miserably in my ignorance to succeed.
Thank the universe that ignorance can be considered bliss;)  core word IGNORE!!!

Success sometimes  includes over indulgences like working too much, drinking and eating too much and thinking waaaay too much.  Life also comes with comparisons, analyzing and a whole lot of judgement.  While I continued affirming that I could be and do anything imaginable there were many folks who disagreed with me(some of them very close to me sighs).  I was unaware that a part of me agreed with them as well(sad face).  Who was I to think I could be great?  Who was I to succeed? Marianne Williamson said our deepest fear wasn't failure, our deepest fear was being powerful beyond measure. As a children of the Universe we are designed to be happy.  God wants us HAPPY!

Fears are often hidden beneath a veil of perceived confidence.  There are folks that walk around affirming how great their life is, but upon further introspection they may be miserable..Is this you??
Say it isn't so!!!
By releasing the past we are free to embrace the present.  Its a gift...freedom is a wonderful feeling!
Hypnosis can help you get to the core of fear.  Some folks think a past life regression is some far out phenomenon in woo woo land.  Actually I define a past life experience as any moment that is not in the present.  We can never get this moment back so it's all in the past.  Often something in this lifetime in the not so distant past(like childhood memories) created the very fear that is holding you back.  In an effort to  protect you, the mind has buried the actual fear or roadblock to success in the subconscious...you just forgot and can't remember.  Hypnosis can help you remember.....so you can consciously forget...forget being afraid.  Forget about the naysayers.  Remember how great you were created.  Remember to live.  Remember to just be happy.
Affirm what is good and release what no longer serves you....combine hypnosis and affirmations to enhance your goals.  The two together form a dynamic duo reaching deep within to manifest outward.
Relax and repeat...I am prosperous  I am healthy  I am at peace I am love and loved  I have everything I need and all is well...

Are e-cigarettes a good way to quit smoking? Perhaps

The popularity of e-cigarettes is growing and many people are reporting that the e-cigarette is helping them to quit smoking.  This can be a good thing however the best thing would be to become a non smoker and not rely on any type of outer stimulant for the benefits of relaxation.  Fact is what the body wants is to BREATHE!!

If you can learn to inhale deeply without the chemicals and additives associated with traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes studies say you can live a longer healthier life!
Give yourself the gift of life..breathe clean fresh air and drink plenty of clean water.
While e-cigarettes may be a way to quit smoking, be mindful of what types and flavors you are inhaling.  Some may be harmful.  Also be aware of the dangers associated with the mechanisms you choose.  There have been reports of fire and explosions.  The reward may seem to be an easy fix but are you just replacing one bad habit with another?

Why not try to quit smoking   naturally?  Hypnosis is one of the fastest and easiest ways to quit smoking!  In fact some people quit with just one session.Hypnosis can a safer alternative to smoking cessation.  That is if you want to quit…many people enjoy the sensations of smoking, the taste , the smell,  the habit of breathing in the smoke.  Hypnosis may help you if you want to quit.  Some folks are professional quitters and have no desire to stop.  Hypnosis is not a magic bullet to make you do something against your will.  If you want to continue to smoke you probably will.  If that’s the case see a  tobacco cessation specialist like the one at amustardseedhealing.com.  You will learn the many benefits of being a non smoker and get the motivation to quit.  Never give up!.  Cigarettes are proven to kill however as a non smoker your body may begin to heal.
After a few days of not smoking the sense of smell returns and the smoker actually begins to remember what freshness smells like.  During the “recovery” phase of becoming a nonsmoker the sense of taste returns and food starts to taste like real food again(not like tobacco and the reported thousands of chemicals being inhaled with each puff).  This is a fear many folks have of becoming a non smoker.  The fear of gaining weight.  With hypnosis the suggestion can be given to become a non smoker and not gain any weight, some folks have reported losing weight because as non smoker they have more energy.  Energy is great because with more energy instead of smoking perhaps after dinner (or whatever) you can take a nice relaxing walk.


The benefits of becoming a non smoker with hypnosis far outweigh using an e cigarettes or any chemicals.  What are the chances the chemicals in the e-cigarette solution are as toxic as the chemicals in a cigarette?  Why take a chance.
So are e-cigarettes a way to quit smoking?  I have clients that have successfully quit using an e-cigarette.  Some describe the e-cigarette as being a way to break the habit of the regular cigarette, this is probably in part to the similarities of both products.  You light up after a particular event or during the same time each day so it is a familiar activity.  People are like electricity  and tend to take the path of least resistance.  What breaks the habit is usually the weight of the e-cigarette.  Because it is heavier than the traditional cigarette there is a noticeable difference and this awakens many people to fact of what they are doing and they quit.
There are many ways to give up addictions and bad habits like smoking. The one that is most effective is the one that works.  Try and try again! Never give up on achieving your goals.  I’ve seen clients who quit in one session and I’ve seen clients who refuse to quit because they are not ready to. I always suggest they relax give it break and come back when they are ready.. no pressure. A partner, spouse or family member wants them healthy.  That pressure creates more stress and makes it even harder to let go.  A cigarette may be the only time you take a really DEEP breath and let go..sad but true.
It will happen just as rapidly as you relax!  breathe deep and let go, let it all go…
Be well!
