Happy New Year Everyone! Well the holidays are over and you may find that you are settling down a bit and thinking of yourself a little. Maybe you are thinking it’s time to deal with those issues that nag at you year after year. You made your New Year’s Resolution but are you going to do anything about it? Have you thought of using Hypnotherapy to address some of your issues?

What is it that you really want to change this year? Is it just a thought in your head that you would like to loose weight or stop smoking? Do you think about it a couple times a year and do nothing about it because you are too busy or it seems like too much work?

The first step is acknowledging that you would like to change and that is a good thing. The next step is finding a way to do something about it and that is where most of us give up. Maybe it isn’t just exercise motivation or stress management which many people associate with hypnosis. Maybe your relationship needs work or you are grieving a loved one. Perhaps you need advise on money management or you are depressed because of the economy and there seems to be no solution. Do you need to forgive someone or deal with a divorce? Have you ever thought that these problems could be addressed through hypnosis? You have thought about psychotherapy but it takes so long and is very expensive so it doesn’t seem to be an option for you especially in this economy.

So many issues can be helped with just simply listening to hypnotherapy recordings. www.journeysinward.com It seems so simple and it is in a way; the trick is that you need to be consistent and listen every day for 21 days. The results will be truly amazing! Napolean Hill said, “What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve,”

Hypnotherapy works! Quite simply, hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation where your subconscious mind is more receptive to ideas and suggestions. I call it “Coached Meditation”. You have been in hypnotic states when you daydream or when you are driving and so focused on your thoughts that you miss your exit. We all experience that “miles away” feeling from time to time. The advantage of hypnosis is that you have that day dreamy feeling but you are being directed at the same time to focus on your goals in a very creative way. Hypnotic states are a wonderfully pleasant state of relaxation. Hypnosis is an effective, scientifically proven tool to help you reach your goals. Hypnosis is not a magical cure. It is simply a tool. An effective tool!

When we access the subconscious mind we find a whole internal world of support that we may not have known before. It is very creative and helps us to unleash our potential, change our unwanted habits and behaviors, and find solutions to our problems and concerns.

During the recordings you are led into a very deep relaxation with gentle background music and maybe the sound of ocean waves.

You are then led through a progressive muscle relaxation from head to toe. Once all your muscles are relaxed it is much easier to relax your mind. You will then be led to a beautiful scene that takes your mind on a journey to someplace very comforting and peaceful.

Once deeply relaxed, your subconscious mind will be receptive to change; you will be given a number of suggestions. One of the most powerful tools of the suggestion process is in “seeing” the outcome. You will see, sense or feel yourself as a person who “used to smoke” but does no longer, or you will experience yourself at the desired weight you wish to be. You will be led through a series of visualizations to help you anchor this new way of being, like: “You see yourself in the mirror wearing that dress you remember looking so slim and beautiful in and you can feel your body gliding across the dance floor so gracefully. You can hear others commenting on how fantastic you look and how did you do it?

You will then hear affirmations that are similar to these suggestions like, “I enjoy eating small meals 5 times a day or I love how I look and feel in those clothes I have been wanting to wear and now I can”. You will be given a post hypnotic suggestion to seal in the positive suggestions and then brought back to full waking consciousness feeling very relaxed and confident that you will follow these new suggestions.

It is great to be able to just download an MP3 and listen to the recording in the comfort of your home without having to go anywhere but to a comfortable place in you house, put some head phones on and everyday do a little work on yourself.

It is probably the most powerful way I know of accomplishing your goals in a very short period of time.
