Don't worry if you don’t feel hypnotized.
Hypnosis may not feel any different than your normal waking state of awareness or any other relaxed states you may have experienced.
During hypnosis, your conscious mind may remain focused on my words or it may drift off, so you do not track what I am saying.
It doesn’t matter what your conscious mind is doing during hypnosis, because your unconscious will be listening to everything.
So, whether you are listening to my voice or not, and whether you are visualizing what I am saying or not, you can trust that you will go to the level of trance that is appropriate for you.
There is no pressure to perform, because all you have to do is relax.
What we say to ourselves has a lot to do with whether we succeed or not, because it determines how we think, what we feel, and what we picture in our mind. Those pictures affect our behavior and can either lead us to what we want, or what we don’t want.
In hypnosis we use positive language to keep us moving in the direction of success.
It’s like we are training our mind and behavior with our own thoughts. I’d much rather be successful, so I focus my thoughts and feelings on the results I want to experience in my life. Take time to really feel what it will feel like to acheive the results you want.
It’s important to remember that we do have a choice about how we respond to what happens in our life. We have a choice about the words we use, both inside our heads, and what we say outloud as well.
We can choose to focus on how we want to feel as we begin to make changes that bring new results.
Are you ready to create positive lasting change in your life, starting right now?

Thank you Dr. Seuss!
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go!"

Slow down your brain to improve test performance and get better grades.
"Use hypnosis to slow down your brain waves to the alpha level which is the brain frequency associated with meditation. One of the many benefits of slowing down and entering the alpha brain wave state is to help you to get better grades in school, college, licensing exams, or any kind of test situation.
Using an hypnosis technique called an "anchor", you can use the benefits of thinking at the alpha level. That is, it will allow you to enter the alpha level with your eyes open. This technique is especially useful in recalling information, increasing focus and concentration, and increasing creativity.
While under hypnosis, you instruct your subconscious mind to create a simple post hypnostic signal by bringing together your thumb and the first two fingers of either hand, or both, so you can easily comunicate with your own subconscious mind whenever you choose. Now, any time you touch your thumb and the first two fingers of either hand, or both, you will easily enter the alpha state. One of the best uses of this special "OK" signal is for students who are preparing to take a test.
Better results can be achieved using the special "OK" signal, if you program yourself with a specific intention. If you want to have better retention while attending a lecture, program yourself during hypnosis, in the alpha brain wave state, before the lecture and tell yourself that when you make the special "OK" sign with your three fingers during the lecture, you will enter the alpha level and be better able to focus and listen attentively to the lecturer. You can do the same thing before reading a book that contains information that is important to you and that you would like to be able to easily recall at a later time.
For example, if you're going to study for an exam, enter the alpha level and tell yourself that you're going to count from one to three, at which point you will open your eyes and read the textbook in front of you, allowing you to process the information with imorived concentration and understanding. Remember to mention the name of the textbook that you're about to read, the subject matter, and the author. When you're done reading the text, enter the alpha level once again and tell yourself that whenever you put together your thumb and the first two fingers of either hand, you will have perfect recall of the text that you just read. During the test you put your thumb and the first two fingers of either hand together and proceed to answer your test questions.
In addition there are relaxation exercises that will help you to reduce any "test anxiety" and will help you to remain relaxed while studying for the test and while taking the actual exam. Also, repeating positive affirmations and using creative visualization to "see" yourself doing well on the test are both beneficial and will help you to do better on your exams."

Hypnosis has many levels.
Hypnosis has many levels that range from light to deep. We say that during hypnosis you will go "deeper and deeper" into trance. Hypnotic states are part of a continuum.
Using descriptive words about "depth" is a metaphor that we can use to speak about hypnosis. Another way to talk about hypnosis is to refer to brain wave states, such as alhpa and theta, where hypnotic suggestions can have powerful effects. You may experience a range of awareness and reach many different hypnotic states during your session.
Hypnosis may feel different to each person. Regardless of the level of trance you reach, trust that you will go to the level that is appropriate for you. There is no pressure to perform because all you have to do is relax.
Your unconscious will be listening, no matter what your conscious mind is doing. All you need to do is to allow yourself to open your mind to the hypnotherapist’s suggestions to acheive the results you want in your life. You are in complete control as you work together with the hypnotherapist, using your own mind to make the changes that allow you to reach your goal.
You already know how to easily reach hypnotic states because you have been doing it your entire life whether you knew it or not. For example, you reach a state of hypnosis when you recall a memory, listen to music, daydream, drive a car, read a book, play a sport while in the "zone", watch a good movie, draw or paint, meditate, and drift off to sleep.
Many people are curious about hypnosis and may not have problems to resolve, but they suspect that they have potential which is not being used. Hypnosis is an effective technique to tap into new levels of creativity and intelligence.
Hypnosis helps you change your beliefs which will then improve your life. As you take on new beliefs, your thoughts, feelings, and behavior change. Old negative patterns that may have been controlling your behavior are released and replaced with more positive ones.
The subconscious takes over and any suggestions made in the hypnotic state will be accepted as reality. The subconscious does not differentiate between reality and imagination; it simply accepts as real that which is repeated until it becomes a habit. The suggestion takes root in the subconscious and becomes a reality.
Hypnosis is an effective way to release emotional blocks and create positive changes in your subconscious mind.

Walk this world with hearts on fire.
"May we open, may we flower,
may we deepen our desire,
May we walk this world with eyes wide open,
May we walk with hearts on fire."
"Within every human breast shine two mystic hearts, one hid subtly within the other.
The outer one loves and desires the beauties of the world, and in obtaining them is led into happiness and song; and in losing them, to grief and lamentation.
But the inner heart is a secret heart, its form adamantine. It gazes with unbroken rapture into the Great Mystery of the soul's desire.
There, in the domain of neither gaining nor losing, all things are perceived truly and there is face-to-face seeing into the deepest nature of things.
The light of singularity abounds in full gladness, like coming upon a light in thick darkness, like receiving a treasure in poverty; and existence is delivered from all limitations."
by Michael Green
Adamantine
"Adamantine particles are fundamental particles of matter and energy. Adamantine particles are crystal-like particles of infinity, which contain stored potential to manifest any original substance or element. It can also be said that adamantine particles are encoded with a kind of “universal DNA” that allows them to form any possible type of atom.
Adamantine particles require “power” to build the other particles and atoms. There is, however, only one type of energy (not energy generated by friction as we know in 3D) that is compatible with them. This energy is the magnetic power of Love, which pervades the Universe in the form of Universal Life Force.
Love is not only the most beautiful feeling, it also is the power which ignites and directs adamantine particles into manifestation.
We can also call Love and its magnetic power, Potential; pure and infinite potential to command the adamantine particles to form infinite numbers of forms of expression of such potential.
Love is the ultimate force in the Universe; it holds every galaxy, star and planet in its place.
In the presence of Love, patterns of beauty, perfection, harmony and efficiency manifest spontaneously."

Breathing with Intent
Here is a simple technique to begin experiencing your own internal power. As you breathe allow yourself to begin to experience a deep state of relaxation and healing.
1. Inhale slowly and deeply to a count of 4.
Inhale, filling your lower belly on the count of one (1),
then your diaphragm for the count of two (2),
next, fill your lungs on the count of three (3),
and finally your collar bone lifts with the last part of your inhale on the count of four (4).
2. Hold the breath for 4 counts.
3. Exhale slowly and gently, through your mouth, reversing the order of the inhale.
Release your collar bone and shoulders first with the beginning of the exhale (1),
then lungs (2),
diaphragm (3),
and belly (4).
Make a gentle “ha-a-a-a” sound, releasing all your muscles in a big sigh.
4. Hold the exhaled breath for 4 counts, as you experience how the energy in your body seemingly slows down while you exhale.
5. Repeat 1-4 at least three times.
6. Now, bring your attention to the area of your heart, pretend your breathing is flowing in and out through your heart in a relaxed way….now, breathing just a little deeper than usual…
Begin breathing in love and appreciation, …step into the feelings as they arise …. really feel how you would feel…. breathing them in and filling your whole body with every breath you take …allowing you to feel better in every way….
7. Inhale slowly, and send your awareness high above your head… as if you have sprouted wings and now can fly far out into the universe … until you discover a great bright light … symbolizing your own Renewable Source of Creation…
Now … imagine you follow a ray of light back and allow yourself to be filled with this beautiful light through the top of your head … and let the light fill your whole body completely … filling every cell of your body with warm, healing light …right to the center of your own DNA.
8. Exhale slowly, through the mouth with a “ha-a-a-a” sound releasing all your muscles in a big sigh and hold again for the count of four.
9. Now, as you inhale slowly, send your awareness deep down into the Earth below you, as if you have grown roots, down to the center of the Earth. Allow the power and resources you find there to travel up your roots. Allow this energy to enter through the bottom of your feet, easily moving up through your legs; up through your tailbone, filling your belly, moving through your heart, up through your throat, filling your whole head.
Take a moment to imagine every cell of your body completely filled with this energy, opening and receiving.
10. Again, exhaling through the mouth with a “ha-a-a-a” and hold again for the count of four.
11. Repeat steps 7 – 10 as many times as you like.
Center in your heart, breath in love and appreciation, send your awareness up to Source, back down through the top of your head, through your body, then down into the center of the Earth, back up through the bottom of your feet, filling your whole body completely, back to centering in your heart and then send your appreciation out into your entire life.
You will learn that very quickly, this simple exercise can help you relax, help you focus, and slow you down.
