I went to the doctor to check it out.  Man, that woman bombarded me with negative suggestions.  I have an ear for limiting beliefs and negative suggestions.  That’s my work.  This Doctor spewed one negative, damaging idea after the next.  Such as:  It may never heal.  Toes heal very slowly, if at all.  People take antibiotics and it still doesn’t heal.  We may need surgery to remove the toenail.  Your toe considers your toenail a foreign object.  She also suggested to me that the current state should be painful when I told her it wasn’t.

WOW!!  I’m listening to her, sitting in the examination room being bombarded with essentially a message called:  it won’t heal.  Is that a good message to hear from a doctor?  Hell, no.  If I took that on board, unconsciously, and believed it, then no, it wouldn’t heal.  Luckily,  I blocked her suggestions and fed in my own.

Of course it will heal.  And perfectly.  I used self hypnosis to focus my mind on healing that toe.  Guess what, a week later, and it’s perfectly healed.  And, of course the antibiotics helped!  (Contrary to the messages that Doc was TRYING — and failing — to feed me that even those wouldn’t help.).

Really, when I think about Doctors and their negative suggestions (telling your mind what to do and what SHOULD happen in a way that leads to a bad outcome) it’s frightening.   On the extreme end:  you have xx months/years to live.  If your mind takes that on board, you will die on schedule.  If there are such a thing as “evil hypnotists,” that’s doctors who unknowingly spew messages of illness, doom, gloom, dismemberment, and death.

Your body creates what you believe to be true.

Hypnosis is a way to “talk to the brain” and instruct it in what you really want.  I wanted a healthy toe.  I’ve got one.  Time to go for a walk.

Warm Regards,
Connie

That’s right!  Hypnosis works for confidence building.  Here’s the deal.  You have confidence, just not where you need it in the current situation.  We find it in you, we grab it, we bottle it, and we sprinkle it where you need it.  Life changes.  In a good way.  Feeling is believing.

Hello!

A friend of mine created this video for me.  I love it!  He’s punching and kicking the heck out of that bag.  If there’s something, some old habit you’d like to kick out of your life (SMOKING, for example), well, it’s easier than that and only takes one muscle.  Your brain muscle.  If you only knew how strong that is.

Hypnosis works for smoking cessation.  I know it does.  I have a drawer full of cigarettes from clients who quit smoking.  I use them for testing purposes.  When you’re done with a session or sessions with Seattle’s best hypnosis (us), I offer you cigarettes.  And guess, what?  You don’t want them.

Warm Regards,
Connie

Mona relaxing.

Hello, Hypnosis Friends!

Mona looks relaxed, does she not?  Kickin’ back!  Relaxation.  Calm.  Enjoyment.  This is a good thing.  It’s good for the body to take a break from stress.  Hypnosis is the ultimate relaxation maker.

Stress is a killer, we all know that.  High blood pressure, ulcers, twitching, sleep issues, it can manifest in a number of ways.  Stress also leads to unwanted habits…like overeating, like smoking.  Some degree of stress is essential, helps you move through the world and be productive.  Too much stress, immobilizing.  Forgetaboutit.

And you can.  Hypnosis and NLP are amazing tools for stress-busting.  What would it be like if you had an “anchor” for calm?   An instant trigger?   If you could, by thinking a thought, or creating an image in your mind, or touching a place on your hand–notice an immediate and deep calm enter your body?  What if you could easily overwhelm and transform stress out of your body?   Would that be of interest to you?

Stress and calm/relaxed don’t live together.  They’re mutually exclusive.  Your body and mind can’t do both at the same time.  When there is a choice available, they choose calm.  Add a new choice!

I successfully create these relaxation triggers for people every day.  What would it be like to take control of your emotions and feel calm and relaxed anytime you want to?  Work would be a lot easier, wouldn’t it?  Dealing with that boss-from-hell and that annoying coworker would be easier, wouldn’t it?  Seattle traffic would be a lot easier to bear, wouldn’t it?  Relationships would improve, wouldn’t they?  When family members try to push your buttons, you push your own.  Ahhhhhhhh!  Calm flows.  Stress related habits would vanish, wouldn’t they?

Learn more here:  http://www.seattlehypnosisforstress.com/   I’d love to help you with this!  Call me:  (425) 564-8608.

Warm Regards,
Connie

Hypnosis is everywhere.  It’s an everyday piece of our experience (we go repeatedly into and out of trance every day) however, we don’t always recognize it.  I had a hypnotic experience on Sunday.  It’s called looking at TULIPS!  Michael and I went to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

Rows upon fields of bright color.  From a distance, beautiful.  Up closer, beautiful.  With your nose two inches from a blossom, beautiful.  Tulips are hypnotic.  Anything which brings an emotional change into your heart and body, that’s hypnosis.  Tulips are pleasant hypnosis.  Joy hypnosis.

The festival runs through April 30th.  If you’re in the Washington area, I recommend it.  Here are some joy-making photos I took last weekend.

Warm Regards, Connie

This video reminds me of my client yesterday.  She came in for a second session on anxiety release and reported to me her results from session one:  ”I feel more alive.  I’m waking up each morning, feeling motivated.  I’m actually getting things done.”  This lady had a single Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy session with me a couple weeks ago, and already the people around her are commenting on how strikingly more “happy” she is.

That’s what hypnosis will do for you!  Skilled hypnosis, I mean.  My tool kit is full of true NLP expertise, and that leads to happy.

“Depression” and “Anxiety” are states of mind/body that can be altered.  Quicker than you can imagine. And you don’t need a prescription to do that.  My client told me she had cut her anxiety medication wayyyyy down (after discussing it with her medical professional, of course), on the road to eliminating it entirely.

Yay!

Enjoy this cute video.

Warm Regards,
Connie

End fear of public speaking with Mindworks Hypnosis

I help people with all kinds of apprehensions and fears and phobias.  Off-the-wall fears as well as common ones.  I’ve helped people with every fear under the sun.  The most common one?  Fear of public speaking.  It ranks right up there with the fear of death.

This fear can manifest in a number of ways:  intense anxiety prior to, or simply at the thought of having to verbally communicate with any group, avoidance of events which focus the group’s attention on the individual, physical distress, nausea, feelings of panic, and so forth.

It doesn’t have to be this way.  Hypnosis works for ending your fear of public speaking.  NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) works for ending your fear of public speaking.  I utilize both methodologies, melding them into a powerhouse kit and kaboodle of change.  Here is a client testimonial I have received after our work on this issue:

“Amazing progress! I gave a presentation 2 weeks ago, and wasn’t nervous …immediately felt a wave of calm come over me. I presented well and the audience and other speaker responded well to me, so I know it was successful.!” –Beth, Bellevue, WA

For Beth, it was a matter of business necessity and success.  If public speaking and presenting is on your job description and you currently suffer from fear, I can help you end that fear and present well.  REALLY well.  Comfortably.  Confidently.  Articulately.  Easily.  And have FUN doing so.

As always, I do offer a free consult to explain more about the tools I use and my “gameplan” of client-centered Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy.  Call me if you’d like to grab that microphone like it was a long lost lover and feel absolutely comfortable with public speaking.  (425) 564-8608.  Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.

Warm Regards,
Connie
