Using hypnosis as an adjunct to Cancer treatment

Let me share this. Here is an article on how Hypnosis enhances the quality of life for people with cancer. Helping them to keep focused on the goal, feeling that healing energy, relieving pain & stress. Stress in and of itself acts like a dis-ease. Letting go of burdens, concentrate on healing, focus on getting better, moving the thoughts to a more productive space; taking advantage of the mind & body connection to allow healing to take place.

Solutions for the New Year

Join me on January 10th, 2 p.m. - Calistoga Spa Conference Room, Downtown Calistoga.

New Year resolutions are one of the most common ways people try to change their behavior. Starting off the New Year with good intentions, only to slip back into our old, unwanted behavior, before the end of January! This year, let us make solutions. Learn how to implement these solutions and achieve your goals in life.

This talk will be on how the brain works and how you can use this knowledge to achieve the goals you want to achieve. This hour will be a gift to yourself: motivate you, excite you, and quite possibly…change your life.

See you there.

Circle of Influence

Who is your circle of influence?
If you want to make changes in your life to benefit yourself and those closest to you...it's important to look at those people who spend the better part of a day with you.
This is a known: Influence is inevitable simply by your being there.
This means...it changes/alters your behavior if only one other person is in your presence.
Who is an influence in your life?

It also means...you can change/alter another person's behavior just by being in their presence.
How do you use that influence? Responsibly?
Make it a plan to spread goodness.... to those around you.
Surround yourself with what you want. Be it...books, people, lifestyle, sounds, smells, etc.... all play a part in influencing you.
Be aware of influence.

Goals & Challenges

I wouldn't call myself a couch potato. I mean, I'm fairly active - I might be considered a french fry. ~grin. I am not so active as to volunteer to jog for pleasure (what?) or go on long hikes. It hasn't really been my thing. My thing has always been more mental health and nutritional health. This new move into muscular health is much needed.

One great hypnosis session and I was motivated to wallow in the depths of my closet to find some workout clothes (bought years ago with good intentions).

My new goal: a 10k or half marathon.

~The people who know me are still having a hard time fitting the word 'running' with my name.~

After some great advice - I traveled to the local Fleet Feet, had them assess my feet, recommend a shoe, and some moisture wicking socks. (Extra expense spent on good shoes saves money later with less injuries)

I started looking for books that would be in line with my goals of getting fit. The lastest educational book find is: The thrive diet. Great for people who want to exercise and eat the right things to have maximum recovery.

Also, I was clued into a wonderful training schedule (even for the couch potato) at runnersworld.com. I printed off a copy of it and posted it in my kitchen. I'm marking off the days as I do them.

This all began June 1st.

My report: I have a new favorite smoothie straight from the Thrive Diet book. Lemon juice, blueberries, ground flax, and ingredients that create a refreshing lemonade feel. Yummy!

Also, if I add sprouted or soaked nuts, grains, or seeds to my morning smoothie it really boosts my energy for the day!

It's been three weeks. I look better, I feel great, I haven't missed a day of training, and...I have lost 8 lbs.

I will keep you posted on how LONG my motivation lasts.

One more step toward practicing what I preach.

Hypnosis...changes lives.

Be good to your body - make a goal.

Making a goal is a great way to boost motivation and start moving forward. If you are in a rut, ask yourself if you have made any goals lately(?).

Wait... don't read further - have you asked yourself about your goals??

>tapping foot, waiting for your answer<

uh huh... you have no goals, do you? I thought not!

It is easy to get sucked into the pitty party of your life but don't stop there. Be self-aware enough to realize what has put you into your personal situation.

So, dust off your old vision board or hang a new one up. Make a list of goals... ones for right now and ones you would like to reach in the future.

My current goal is Half Dome. A few of my friends accomplished it and I have been kicking myself for not joining in the fun. Better late than never though... so I will be going to the TOP in September.

UPDATE: It was brutal. haha

We ended up hiking right up to the base of half-dome. The clouds swirled in (it was originally a 75 degree day) and out of the blue came bolts of lightning and rain. I was tired and it didn't take much for me to look at that 'as a sign' to turn back.

I hope to try it again sometime.
