Finally, the seed catalogs have arrived. They bring with them a lot of good memories and anticipation of sunny skies and warmth.
I am so ready to see the sun. I…

Love can create powerful…
New Year, new me, wipe the slate clean and begin anew but this time taking all that I have learned along with me. Leaving behind all that didn’t work and…
Why is it so hard to stop doing something that you no longer want to do? It’s because it is a habit, a deeply ingrained habit that reinforces you in some way.Our brains are really interesting. We tend to smoke as a distraction from something. If we don’t look too closely and all we do is tell ourselves “Don’t Smoke” what our brain hears is “Smoke” Our brain doesn’t hear the “Don’t” We also tell ourselves we are addicted and we use that as an excuse. I challenge you on that one. I call it a HABIT because a habit is much easier to change than an addiction. So calling it an addiction is another way to keep you stuck in this, it’s an excuse rather than a way out.
For many of us food is plentiful. Every few hours there is, a huge collective of people who turn their attention to the pursuit of consuming food. Each of us decides how much is enough and it is totally socially acceptable to eat, regardless of whether or not we are hungry. The clock is our supervisor, and with socially acceptable impunity, we go alone or in groups to parks, restaurants, and homes, to eat. Our clocks more than our bodies dictate when we eat. The clock reminds us it is time for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We eat each meal as if it is our last rather than with the pre-knowledge of another meal coming up in a few hours.
Is Hypnosis Magic or Medicine?

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. It makes me smile to see the changes in my environment. The tomatoes are less big and juicy and dwindling in numbers now. The cucumbers are done and the raspberries and strawberries have completed their cycles, even the late baring ones are done. The pumpkins are as orange as they are going to get and I am almost ready to cut the cords and let them sit a bit. My outside world of heat and sunshine is shutting down and a new cycle is getting ready to begin. Except this year there appears a bit of overlap and instead of cleaning up the beds and putting them to sleep there is still some growth owing to this weird weather. It is late summer of is it fall?
I really like when we have weather in the 70’s with a bit of wind and sunshine. I like the feeling of the clean, fresh air blowing through my hair and tickling my nose. I also like when the leaves begin to turn, orange, yellows, reds and browns. When the wind blows the leaves around it makes me smile. As if an invisible force were playing with them.
Just because you thought something doesn't make it true. The next time your mind jumps to a conclusion that sends you in a spiral toward stress or anxiety or even depression, check to see what you were thinking at the time, (where your head was). (If you have been diagnosed as clinically depression and/or anxious, call your physician to get advice, this advice is not intended for you). When you put some space between you and your reaction, it changes your relationship to your thoughts, you can watch them come and go instead of treating them as facts. If you are stuck on a negative thought, ask yourself the following 4 questions; 1. Is it true? Often the answer is, "Well, yes." This is the brain initially reacting-the autopilot you live with and believe is you. (It is not. It is the protective, critical part of your brain. 2. Is it absolutely true? Is this thought 100% accurate? Can you see the thought in a different way? 3. How does this thought make me feel? Notice any storylines you're holding onto, and name your feelings: sad, angry, jealous, hurt. 4. What would things be like if I didn't hold this belief? Imagine possible benefits to your relationships, energy levels, and motivation. Excerpted from Uncovering Happiness by Elisha Goldstein.
In March I moved into an office in the Northwest on the corner of 20th and Johnson. My office is on the first floor of an amazing old house. It was built by a Lumber Baron in the early 1900's and it has the rich wood and high ceilings and amazing moldings and craftsmanship of the time.
My office is in what use to be the Chapel. It is a wonderful space to practice hypnotherapy. I have been told it feels warm and inviting. It is a safe, comfortable space in which you are invited to drop off your old, heavy, useless, baggage and enter into a new, wonderful, positive world, that you take with you. It is a magical space in that you feel somehow, invigorated and uplifted, and without the baggage your spirit soars.
