In this season of giving and caring, we sometimes forget in our American striving to "be the best that we can be", that perhaps it's ok to relax a little, and just enjoy the holidays. If you can't actually "slow down a little', because all kinds of people or family are depending on you, how do you manage the stress, and manage to have some fun yourself? Perhaps learning a little Hypnotherapy can help you. It can also help you even after the holidays are over. In order to help people better understand how Hypnotherapy can help them, I am starting a Meet-Up in the Brea area, and everybody is encouraged to come check it out. The first one will be THIS TUESDAY, Dec 20th, 2011, just in time to help you get through the holidays!

I wanted to get the first meetup going prior to Christmas, because what we are going to do should make your holidays more stress free and happier. However, I need to ensure that enough of you are up for it before I proceed any further. It would be next Tuesday, 12/20, 7 PM to 9PM, at my offices in Brea.

During the first meeting I want to chat with you about your “Life Script” and why your mind may be saying those things to you that it says….such as, “you want to eat that”.....”you can’t do that”....”be shy”...”go ahead and do it, no one is looking”, and many other negative stuff that it throws at you. So, we’ll do a little “Theory of the Mind”.

Then, I’d like to introduce you to Energy Therapy. It is profound in its ability to remove negative emotions and even give many physical benefits. In fact, if there is anyone out there that is “addicted” to chocolate…I challenge you to bring your favorite chocolate with you and I will remove that craving. I took the basic EFT as I learned from Gary Craig (the Master), switched some of the basics around, changed the source to tapping and introduced Hypnotic Language into it. I get better results that way….even haven taken people into trance with it. I want to teach my method to all of you. I will ask for a volunteer or two….or, even three or four….to show you the absolutely dramatic changes that will occur. So, also bring any negative memories that seem to always present themselves to you to block your peace or confidence, etc. and I will remove them.

After the holidays we can begin more advanced hypnosis techniques, including a range of inductions, but this first meeting is geared to ensure your Christmas holidays are so much better.

Please RSVP (you can use the MeetUp button below) regarding whether or not you can make it. We will be meeting at my office in Brea.

Please RSVP me

In the meantime, if you would like to know more about my background (to ensure I’m not a Witch Doctor, ), check my background and experiences at my website to help assess whether you think I could add value to your life. Bet I can…

You can also look at my LinkedIn Profile.

Also, be sure to look at my other website which I’m listing because some of you have expressed the desire to use Hypnosis for aiding in weight release. It has some interesting information on it….check out the “success stories” videos on it.

You can also call me at 714-680-8360 with any other questions you might have.

Let’s get started!!

Another note to a “joiner” who at first wasn’t sure if it would benefit her:

Hi Sylvia, Yes, you will absolutely benefit from this group. I will be showing/teaching several different thing that will benefit you greatly on a personal level. Actually, this group was not intended for Hypnotherapists….it was intended for those who would benefit from Hypnotherapy practices. There a are a couple of Hypnotherapists that have joined…but, the primary thrust will be to give you tools to help yourself, emotionally, mentally and even physically. So, join us. I’m going to schedule the first meeting this next week…..unless everyone wants to wait until after the first of the year. My thought is….use what I teach to help you enjoy the holidays even more. It’s going to be a great group, so again, join us )

Take care everybody, and hope to see you Tuesday night!

I just conducted a very fulfilling demonstration of the power of hypnotherapy at a meeting of the Multiple Sclerosis Organization of Orange County. It was gratifying to meet people, be presented with their emotional or physical pain issues, and be able to help them. You may recognize similar issues that you yourself are experiencing, and perhaps realize that one of these therapies could help you.

I met with the group in a church in Brea and most all of the attendees had either Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson's Disease. After I explained the Theory of the Mind related to Hypnosis and the development of our Life Scripts, I told them about the principles of Energy Therapy. Then I asked for volunteers.

The first man that volunteered had negative emotional issues with the memory of his Mother attempting suicide when he was a child. Through the use of Energy Therapy and hypnotic language and my intuitive approach, he was unable to bring up the sadness at all within 4 minutes. Several times during the meeting of 2 hours, I would go back to him to ask if he could bring up the sadness. Each time he said, "no." I asked him to try to get sad....he couldn't.

The next volunteer was a lady who could not stand because of her illness (MS). She complained of severe pain in her left hand. She had fallen and fractured the hand and three fingers about 6 weeks ago and it remained very painful. She was unable to fully open her hand. After about 4 minutes of me working with her, she was able to completely flex her hand and felt no pain. People there were amazed because they were all aware of her malady. She stated, "during the time you were tapping on me, I felt the pain run down my fingers and drip onto the floor." I facilitated that with the use of hypnotic language. Again, several times throughout the meeting, I would go back to her to ask how her hand felt....always receiving a positive response.

The next was a man with MS, whose right side was numb, with various pain throughout his body; he was unable to stand straight. I tapped on him for awhile.....when I finished, I could see that his posture had gone from bent to standing straight; however, his eyes remained closed and I could tell that he had gone into a trance during the process. I brought him out of the trance with care and as I did, I noticed the look of amazement in his eyes. He stated that his right side felt normal and that this was the first time he had been able to stand straight in several years.

The next young lady to volunteer, had a bad knee. She had suffered a sports injury in 1994 while sliding into 2nd base and had not been able to get rid of the pain since that time. Within 4-5 minutes, the pain was gone and her knee was flexible and working great.

There were several more volunteers that would be too detailed to go into, but I had 100% success rate with healing, both emotional and physical. There was a lady and husband there....I had removed the shaking from the husband some time ago at my office (he is a Parkinson's sufferer) and brought much strength back to his body. She is going to ask me to speak before two other groups.

Do I make any money at this type of event? No. Do I absolutely love these people and the blessing of watching the Lord do wonders for them through me...Resounding Yes. I am always clear in stating to groups that Christian Hypnotherapist is not an oxymoron. No good comes from me....it all comes through me.

Hope you can join us!

This past weekend, I was blessed to work with the National Coalition of Homeless Veterans at the first annual “Stand Down” event in Orange County. They’ve been doing this for 12 years in San Diego. It was an unbelievable experience. Organizer, Deanne Tate, told me I was the first Hypnotherapist they have ever had volunteer. What an amazing place to work…what an amazing place to connect with those who need you.

There were about 600 participants, veterans of current conflicts and past conflicts, going back as far as the Korean War. They had all put themselves in harms way to secure our right to be free, and many bear the scars. There was a virtual city, a conglomeration of military tents, privately brought pop-up tents, etc.

The event was attended by Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, State Senator Lou Correa, and other dignitaries, but the real stars were the veterans. I felt as though I was in the midst of “M*A*S*H” with all the healing activity. I was stationed between a group of doctors, acupuncturists, and massage therapists. I was able to see about 30 people during the day, removing Post Traumatic Stress, healing many bad backs, carpel tunnel syndrome and several other disorders.

The one theme that recurred to me throughout the day was this: We send young men and women to become literally maimed (mentally as well as physically) for us and our government doesn’t seem to pay much attention to them on their return. Why is that? Why didn’t we do something like this earlier in Orange County? Painfully still unanswered, is why we did so little for our Vietnam Veterans. Was anything their fault? I don’t recall it that way, but I do remember that, upon returning home, many Vietnam Veterans were spat on, in stark contrast to the general heartfelt welcomes that greet returnees from Afghanistan or Iraq.

These soldiers have already been victims out on the front lines. They should not have to bear the brunt of our disagreements about policy here at home. Which is why it was so satisfying to be able to offer hypnotherapy services, which can help relieve some of the stresses of the "reintegration" to life back at home.

This is an event in which I certainly plan to continue participating. If you'd like to help these sometimes bewildered young (and even older) men, do something for your heart, as well as theirs, and volunteer with the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. They need you and they appreciate you. I will see you there.

GARDEN GROVE Channel 3 REPORT: Veterans Stand Down Event in Santa Ana

Purpose Driven Hypnotherapy has put up a Billboard "somewhere in Orange County" to help publicize Virtual Lap Band Hypnotherapy. If you SEE it, Tweet us @VLapBand or @PDHypnosis, or Facebook us, provide the location where you saw it, and we'll give you one of Dr. Bill Engle's Self Help Audio CDs.

Dr. Bill Engle is one of the first 12 people in the US to be trained in Virtual Lap Band Hypnotherapy, the technique developed by English Hypnotherapist, Sheila Granger. Dr. Engle wants to help bring this technique to people here, who may want a safe and non-invasive alternative to Gastric Band surgery.

If you'd like to hear Dr. Engle talk more about what Virtual Lap Band is, and how he uses it to help clients, tune in to this radio interview on Jeff and Angel in the Morning.

You can also attend one of his workshops at the La Habra Community Center, where he is more than happy to answer any questions about any issues you might have.

Or just drop him a note or give him a call.

We had a great gathering of people yesterday, Tuesday August 16, for a hypnotherapy workshop Dr. Bill Engle did at the La Habra Community Center. About 30 people showed up, and Dr. Engle was able to address a few people's particular concerns. It's a great way to meet Dr. Engle, and learn about the techniques he employs to help people with various fears, anxieties, and of course even weight loss.

One attendee talked about the stomach pains they'd been experiencing every day for 4 months. The person had had several MRI's done, but normal doctor visits had not helped alleviate the pain. Dr. Engle was able to use hypnotherapy techniques on the person right there in the Community Center, and help immediately assuage the pain.

Another attendee was experiencing debilitating anxiety over an upcoming test. Dr. Engle was able to help redirect that persons feelings of anxiety by using hypnotherapy techniques on their subconscious, and the person left the workshop feeling like they could tackle that test.

Dr. Engle also used the time to discuss energy healing, and how these techniques can be helpful to clients even while at home. You can even download a video of Dr. Engle doing the Energy Therapy Tapping Technique, that clients can then use on themselves at home.

If you'd like to attend one of these workshops, Dr. Engle is doing a full range of recurring workshops at the La Habra Community Center. There is a downloadable PDF of the full listing of classes at the La Habra Community Center, or just click here to see the listing of Dr. Engle's classes. The next upcoming workshop is on 13 September, 2011. Just check out our website for more information.

Hypnotherapy sessions can also help those who suffer from the condition remain calm when suffering from asthma attacks.

According to an article on guide2bristol.com, many asthma suffers are stuck in a cycle where anxiety leads to asthma which in turn leads to more anxiety.

It was claimed that hypnotherapists can help sufferers control their asthma by asking them to visualise a future where they are coping perfectly with stressful situations.

By thinking about the solutions to problems rather than the problems themselves that the anxiety/asthma cycle can be broken down.

A source from curinganxietytoday.com claimed that those who struggling with any form of anxiety should seek help from a professional before their symptoms get worse.

It read: "Early treatment for anxiety is key and most sufferers of anxiety don't go to a therapist until they have developed depression or substance abuse problems as a result of their anxiety.''

"If you think you may be suffering from some form of anxiety, it is important to make an appointment with a therapist and discuss what you are feeling with a professional."

Do you wish to finally take care of a break up that happened many years ago? Or can it be something more modern, like a task loss, which is generating your daily life unbearable? Whatever you happen to be dealing with, a hypnotist can help. You can certainly discover how to overcome your thoughts, and perceive adverse stimuli differently.

Discover to Live Again by Using the Power Involving HYPNOTHERAPY

Hypnotherapy has been used in the psychological overall health business for several years. Western medication has acknowledged the effectiveness of the mind, (AMA approved in 1958), and contains accepted just those accustomed to introspection have generally recognized: the minds, any time used correctly, can mend us.
Do you want to forget about the stress and anxiety which has been holding you back your entire maturity?  Would you like to escape the depression symptoms that stops you from reaching for your desires? Whatever you are getting trouble coping with, hypnosis can assist.

You can SELF-HEAL WITH HYPNOTHERAPY

The truth is, a lot of us bury disturbing memories from our childhoods. The problem is those memories at times arrive to your conscious mind making you act up with wrath or with fear. We can destroy relationships and also hurt the individuals we adore mainly because we haven’t dealt with concealed remembrances.
Hypnotherapy can change that. With a professional and competent Hypnotherapist, we can easily go back in our inner-minds to explore those dark remembrances, and finally locate peace. Imagine the way your life will change when each of the baggage is finally gone. All that weight off the shoulders, along with your desires within attained, just about all simply because of hypnotherapy.

Even if depressive disorders run in your household, do not allow it to discourage you. You are able to learn to moderate your reaction to the changes of living.  We all experience changes.  Hypnotherapy will compliment the treatment you might be currently employing for your depressive disorder. In fact, it is usually is very efficient as treatment on the subject of treating major depression.

You will learn far better coping abilities when you undergo hypnosis intended for depression. Often people who are depressed don’t know where to turn, or how you can make changes. Hypnotherapy will significantly alter that for you. You will get a refreshing start, and be able to make crucial options moving forward.

Let HYPNOTHERAPY Get rid of your Anxiety

Could there be something there in your past you haven’t dealt with yet? Hypnotherapy can help. If you find out the source of your anxiety, you are able to perform to resolve the item. It is that uncomplicated.
Hypnotherapy seriously isn’t harmful, and it is not mind control. You will always be aware of what is happening when you undergo hypnosis. You will be assisted by a qualified professional, which means you will probably be able to get the most out of your treatment. You’ll experience great peace along with a refreshed outlook on life when your session has ended, and ready to spend your time the way you have usually desired.

In other words, if you have symptoms of stress, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep problems, headaches, faster aging, strokes, depression, ulcers, asthma, weaker immune system (reducing your natural ability to fight off infection), panic attacks, loss of memory or even obesity…stress can be a significant factor.

Stress occurs when you perceive a demand on you to be greater than your resources. This can happen studying, working, dealing with events, holidays, running your own business and so on. The symptoms include an elevated blood pressure, release of hormones, and increase of tension in your muscles, rapid breathing, and sweating.

Some stress can actually be good for you, as it can motivate you. But all the physical symptoms of stress can make your body weaker, breaking down its immune system. So stress for a longer period of time than a few days can be very dangerous.  Every thing we think….affects us physically!

Think of it this way; if you bought a car and then drove it around recklessly, not taking proper care of it, the car will break down. You are putting way too much exertion on the engine to keep it running for very long.

Your body is the same way with stress. You have to consciously take control of and manage stress, or your body will begin to run like a broken down car.

Unfortunately the fast paced living we are used to is designed to put your body into a state of stress from the very moment you wake up!  It begins with the sharp sound of an alarm bell, followed by the stress of the morning commute, add coffee and sugar filled snacks and your body is beginning to get hit hard…and all of this before the work day has even begun!
