Thank you Markos! You've definitely changed my opinion on hypnosis!!




Well thanks, that's always good to hear!  As the Third Chinese Patriarch of Zen said: "The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.  When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised.  Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinions for, or against, anything.  To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind." -https://web.csulb.edu/~wweinste/HsinHsinMing.html

All I had was uniformed, inexperienced opinions on the morning I walked into my first hypnosis training class. Those misconceptions very quickly disappeared with my teacher's knowledge and demonstrable skill. I keep a gold-glitter-covered cardboard magick wand next to my chair in my study to illustrate when clients are requesting magick instead of hypnotherapy. A nebishy middle-age man wants to be as cool as Sean Connery was as 007 in the movies. Out comes the wand. I can help him discover the causes of his basic insecurities, which when revisited and reinterpreted to his adult mind may vanish, thereby leaving a sturdier sense of self-respect ad confidence. That can happen, but 007? Please.
