Hello Everyone,

So, why do we yell sleep if Hypnosis isn’t sleep? Someone sent me this question a few days ago and I thought it would make a good post.

To be honest the word sleep is one of the biggest reason people tend to think hypnosis is sleep. The fact of the matter is Hypnosis isn’t sleep at all. When you enter Hypnosis you are actually more “awake” then you are now. You actually become more alert and aware, but because you’re in a very relaxed state it appears from a outside point of view that you are asleep.

Hello Everyone,

Sorry about the lack of blog post lately, but things have been pretty busy. I’m taking care of some loose ends so in the next few weeks you should see some more post. I received a great e-mail from my good friend Rich Wilson who is also a really great certified Hypnotist. The e-mail contained a link to a great article dealing with how hypnosis can be used for tooth removal and other things involved with seeing the Dentist.

Hypnotists have known for a long time that hypnosis can be used to deal with pain. Hypnosis allows the body to produce it’s own Anesthesia. Hypnosis can offer help in many different areas such as controlling the amount of saliva, blood flow, pain control and general relaxation which helps to ease the visit to the dentist. Articles like the one I’m planning to link to here are great because they get the word out about the different benefits of hypnosis. I highly recommend that people still consult with their Dentist on this matter.

Hey Everyone,

I was up late last night and ran across an interesting show on TLC. A very well known hypnotist by the name of Paul Mckenna has a show called I Can Make You Thin, which is a show where he teaches people how to lose weight without using diets. His show seems to revolve around different techniques for learning to control what you eat and how you eat. The truth is that many of the techniques he uses are hypnosis techniques or at least techniques that some hypnotists use within their practices.

I notice that when his show comes on they never mention his background as a hypnotist. They refer to him as some type of self-improvement guru in Britain. Paul made a name for himself as a stage hypnotist many years ago and then went on to write a number successful books and self improvement products. I understand why they don’t mention his hypnosis background as I’m sure the show wants to appeal to the widest audience they can. I have a feeling some people may object to the use of hypnosis for whatever reason. It amazes me though because hypnosis is all around us. Everyone uses it at one point in time, but they just never realize they are using hypnosis. I find this to be quite funny sometimes.

When I first got started in hypnosis I went around to everyone I knew asking to hypnotize them. Most of the people said no, but a few of them agreed to “try” hypnosis. These people knew nothing about hypnosis, but being a confidence newcomer I didn’t feel I had to educate them on hypnosis. I figured all I had to do was copy some youtube video’s I’ve seen.

I knew I could hypnotize someone and emerge them from hypnosis if I just followed the videos I had watched. Looking back on this situation I think I may have been to confidence in myself, which can blow up in your face sometimes. I walked up to the guy, told him to press on my hand, close his eyes and the moment he started to apply pressure to my hand I yelled “sleep” in a deep voice. As I yelled sleep I knew I was going to be successful. I glanced up to see what a person in hypnosis looks like in real life and got a surprise. His eyes were wide open; he looked at me and said did it work? My hurt ego took a moment and answered “no, it didn’t work and I’m
not sure why”.

Hello Everyone

While I was out the other day I ran into an old friend who to my surprise is now a doctor. I haven’t seen this friend in a long time so we decided to get together for lunch in a few days and play catch up.

We finally met up for lunch the other day and I began to tell him how I’m slowly moving out of Real Estate and have since become a Certified Hypnotist over the course of the last few years. This caught him off guard a little and was curious on how I made the transition from the Real Estate world to the Hypnosis world. I told him my story and he was pretty surprised that I made such an interesting life change. Overall I thought he took it quite well. After a moment or two of silent he asked me a question. He asked me when I was moving from Columbus? I told him I wasn’t planning to move at all and was curious as to why he assumed I was moving.

Hey Everyone

A lot has happened over the last couple of weeks for me and one of them was that I showed up at the Hypnoticon event in Atlanta. As many of you know I’m good friends with Taylor (Pokerwithoutcards of YouTube fame, his blog at trancedout.com, and the TrancedOUT forums).

Taylor is an amazing hypnotist and Personal Development Coach. I met Taylor through YouTube a few months back and we have become pretty good friends since then. I recently found out he was coming down to Atlanta for Hypnoticon (an open-ended hypnosis convention, featuring some amazing hypnotists) and thought this would be a good chance to meet up. I found out about the convention too late to schedule time in to attend the official event, but I still wanted to meet with Taylor, catch a bite to eat, hang out, and talk hypnosis. I arrived in Atlanta about 5:30pm and met up with Taylor and his business partner Oscar at the convention hotel. We then decided to get something to eat from this great place called House of Chan. During our dinner I got to interview Taylor and Oscar and learned that these two guys are onto some next level type of stuff when it comes to hypnosis, personal development, language patterns and so much more.

Hey Everyone

I have had a lot going on lately and all of it is great stuff. Beside working on getting Southern Hypnosis & Consulting off of the ground I have also been involved with a lot of networking. I was recently approached by Ellie of The Transparent Hypnotist blog to participate in her interview series called 10 Questions. I am honored by being asked to be part of his interview series which has included interviews from well known names such as Adam Eason, Paul Knight, Tom Nicoli and others.
