Happy Halloween!<\/p>\n

When I was little, this was my favorite holiday. \u00a0Perhaps it still is. \u00a0However, the appeal is not the sugar rush, nowadays. \u00a0It’s something more wonderful, and more useful, called imagination. Tonight I’ll be handing out candy to the neighborhood hobgoblins, and I get to see imagination in action.<\/p>\n

I was in a coffee shop awhile ago, and a little boy and girl came up to me and informed me that they were, respectively, a princess and SUPERMAN!!!\u00a0 He told me that with passion and intense conviction, and although he wasn’t wearing his costume at the moment, I could see it.\u00a0 Yes, he was superman.<\/p>\n

Knowing that you’re superman is a good thing.<\/p>\n

Imagination is power.\u00a0 To an unimaginative adult, a chair may be just a chair–something to sit on.\u00a0 To a child, a chair may be so much more, a car, a pony, a fort to climb on, a spaceship. \u00a0What I love about Halloween is that it allows adults to reconnect to this essential and playful imagination that we all had as children. \u00a0I was at the costume store the other day, and saw imagination in full play.\u00a0 Adult imagination.\u00a0 Adults looking at, trying on, playing with Halloween costumes, and props–faces alive with “let’s pretend.”\u00a0 Yes, I AM a pirate!\u00a0 \u00a0There was a magic in that store, and a life and energy that you don’t find in everyday life.\u00a0 Simply:\u00a0 it’s imagination.\u00a0 One of the “rules of the mind” I teach in my Bellevue College courses is that “imagination is more powerful than knowledge.”\u00a0 Yes, it is!<\/p>\n

I love imagination.\u00a0 It’s the stock in trade of what I do.\u00a0 Helping people change, in ways they want to.\u00a0 But, before they can do that, they have to have the imagination to see life could be different.\u00a0 They\u00a0must be able to\u00a0imagine themselves cigarette-free, thinner, more successful, etc.<\/p>\n

That’s part of what I help them do–because I can see it for\u00a0them.\u00a0 Clearly!\u00a0 A person can come into my office with 50 pounds to lose, and I can fully imagine them thinner and healthier and living life with full passion.\u00a0\u00a0It’s who they really are.\u00a0 I can “see” their face thinner.\u00a0 Their body slimmer.\u00a0 I can see twitching turn to calm.\u00a0 I can see happiness instead of depression. \u00a0Hypnosis helps me communicate what I know is true for them.\u00a0 When people are feeling “stuck” in their lives,\u00a0partly it’s because they’ve stomped down this innate childlike ability to see\u00a0the world as full of possibility and potential.\u00a0 I help people reconnect with that ability, and\u00a0change\u00a0is streamlined.<\/p>\n

Halloween is something wonderful in that it allows us to play and imagine. \u00a0That’s a muscle worth stretching.<\/p>\n

All the Best to you and yours this holiday,
\nConnie<\/p>\n
