Fewer Calories, Better Memory?

By "fewer calories," the study in the story below is referring to "an appropriate amount of calories." The subjects were overweight people, and those who cut calories significantly noticed memory improvement.

Hypnosis FAQ: "Will I Lose Awareness While Hypnotized?"

This video is taken from my stop smoking hypnosis seminar on World Hypnotism Day - January 4th, 2009. Here, I talk briefly about the state of hypnosis and what it's like... and how you remain aware of what is happening throughout the process.

Update: Feedback from Weight Loss Clients

I recently heard back from a client of mine who I saw earlier this year for just a few sessions of weight loss hypnosis. He's down 40 pounds so far, with a goal of dropping another 30-40 in all. Now he'd like to work a bit on anger management, and I'm happy to oblige.


For those of you who may be wondering, this is pretty much the only repeat business a successful hypnotherapist will get. Most of the time, when we do good work, we never see you again. In most respects, that's a good thing! Not that I don't enjoy bumping into a client every now and then, it's just a good sign that the person has become independent and the work has endured.

The other way we sustain our businesses as hypnotherapists is through referrals. I had a client contact me this past week who heard about me from a friend who's already dropped 60 pounds.

Many businesses thrive on repeat customers. If you find a good restaurant, you're likely to go back on occasion. If a mechanic does a good job repairing your car, he's likely to see you the next time you need some maintenance.

When a hypnotherapist helps you lose weight, you're probably not going to go back repeatedly over the next several years. If you did, it would likely mean the results were less than desirable.

This is one reason I've learned to go the extra mile and make sure each of my clients receives the absolute best service possible. Not only is it necessary to sustain my practice, it's also very rewarding to be able to provide the kind of service I like to receive myself when I do business with someone else.

Home Hypnosis Party Report

I'm still recuperating from the long drive back from Americus, GA, late last night. It was my first trip there, and little did I know that when Google Maps says it'll take three hours, they MEAN three hours!

So the ride was long but it was well worth it. An event that started with 10 participants grew to 15 in all, and they were nothing less than stellar. Many thanks to all of you who attended. It was truly a pleasure.

Highlights included an NLP exercise to eliminate specific cravings, Q&A, as well as a group hypnosis session to get everyone on track to losing weight... DURING the holiday season.

I record these events digitally, and immediately send the mp3 file to everyone who signs up so they'll have it as reference. They can even fast-forward to the hypnosis portion and listen to it all over again, anytime they like. They'll also receive a 12-minute Deep Relaxation hypnosis mp3 in the coming days as another FREE gift... which comes in handy on those busier-than-usual days when every minute is precious.

Everyone left with a copy of my Lose Weight and Feel Great hypnosis CD, and many grabbed some of my other hypnosis CD's at a steep discount as well.
