Whose Thought Is It Anyway?
Day in and day out I see- from my vantage point – wonderful, creative, talented, beautiful, skilled clients of all shapes, sizes, origins and walks of life unwittingly claiming “ownership” to every thought transpiring in their mind. To assume that if you are having a thought that it is “your” thought is the ultimate hubris […]
Fall Back’ to Reset Your Life
Approximately 70 countries participate in Day Light Saving Time. This semi-annual time change the world enacts each year always elicits a knowing chuckle from me as I witness the most explicit example of an arbitrary “agreement.” We have collectively agreed to “move time” backward or forward at a particular moment every single year. There are […]
Relief or Release?
There are two unconscious agendas that determine the success or lack thereof of your ability to transcend any debilitating conditioning from your experience. The choice made of the two agendas influence whether your efforts to transform your experience is effective or futile. Whether your past environment involves physical, mental, emotional, sexual, alcoholic, or drug abuse […]
Creativity – More Than You Think
Creativity /kree-ey-tiv-i-tee/ noun the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships to create meaningful new ideas, expressions, forms, methods, interpretations, etc. Creativity is much more than you think if your context confines the understanding of this phenomena to artistic, technical or mechanical endeavor, ability or thought. Relegating the nature of creativity to this narrow […]
The BIG Question
The BIG Question from hypnotherapy clients? The most frequently asked question from hypnotherapy clients or those considering using this effective therapeutic approach to healing, is how long it will take to witness change in the areas one desires to improve. It is an understandable question considering the often arduous process that can accompany self-fulfillment. When […]
Single Approach Dissolves Fear
“To fear or not to fear – that is the question.” Please excuse the gross liberties taken with Shakespeare’s quote but that is the ultimate question regarding one’s capacity to fulfill desires and intentions. The degree that fright inform your perception is the degree that paralysis infects successful progress. The mind will conspire to legitimize […]
Harmony at the Playboy Jazz Festival
… and not just of the musical kind – although that was indeed in abundant supply. I have returned from a thoroughly enjoyable day of great music at the Playboy Jazz Festival at the famed Hollywood Bowl concert venue in Hollywood, California and the greatest impact for me from the day was a musical offering […]
Wiring the Brain for Fulfillment
This is your brain. This is your perception. This is your brain on perception. Your brain is a very dutiful instrument. It wires ideas, perceptions and chronic thoughts into behaviors, habits and possibilities – or the lack thereof – without questioning the impact of the wired information. This process is both the bane of your […]
Why You Can Fulfill Your Goals
The brain is an interesting instrument. We marvel at this non-replicable wonder and at the same time give it too much credit. I often encounter clients immobilized by self-doubt because an effort to realize an aim may reflect a feeble attempt or doesn’t come close to the imagined idea of the goal or pursuit. This rash, […]
Of Sustained Habits and Hollow Ones
I am at times confronted with the frustrating dilemma posed from clients indicating that a chronic, undermining dynamic appears to still be active in their thoughts, feelings or behavior even though they have been dutifully enacting strides to change. The erroneous assumption is that the change desired and focused on is not forthcoming or is […]
