Hypnosis Seminar in Lawrenceville

Mark this date on your calendar: Saturday, April 18th at 2:00pm

At that date & time, I'll be making another appearance at Serenity Lakes Wellness Center in Lawrenceville. This seminar is about dealing with economic stress during these tough times. It's basically a free event, although my gracious hosts request a $5 "Love Donation" at the door.

So come out and give us a little love... it's really a beautiful and relaxing wellness center. You begin feeling more peaceful the moment you walk through the door.

From now on, I'll be offering hypnosis seminars at Serenity Lakes on the 3rd Saturday of every month.

Success Story from WHD Stop Smoking Seminar

Here is some feedback from someone who attended my Stop Smoking Hypnosis Seminar on World Hypnotism Day - January 4th, 2009.

"Hi Sean! I wanted to give you a update on my experiences since your seminar. First and foremost I am smoke-FREE! I have been since the group seminar, and I've gone through some really challenging times in the last two months. I had tried every method to quit before, and with your help I have kicked this thing once and for all!

Thanks for all you do, it has really worked for me!"

How I Helped an Iraq War Vet

This is an email I received today from an Iraq War vet I worked with just before Christmas 2008. It's nice to be of service to someone who's been of service.



Take a look:

"Hey, Sean. I'm not too entirely sure you remember me, but I had a visit with you just before Christmas. I just want to thank you so very much for everything. I still listen to our session every night just prior to falling asleep, and it totally helps me get in the right frame of mind to leave all of the day's worries and anxieties behind me.

Just recently I made the decision to completely stop taking the meds prescribed to me for sleeping/anxiety/hypervigilance, and I'm not lying when I say that I haven't slept this well in what seems like forever.

Crowds aren't as much of a problem for me, and I actually give other drivers on the road the benefit of the doubt instead of losing my mind!

When I left your office that day, I felt a high and a peace that I believe helped me start a new chapter in my life.

Thank you so much for doing what you do, man."

Report from Hypnosis Seminar

Just wanted to take a moment and thank the fine people at Serenity Lakes Wellness Center in Lawrenceville for such a warm reception. I made my first (and certainly not last) appearance there as a speaker on Saturday, and found it to be a really great place to chat with an audience about the benefits of hypnosis.

The event wrapped up with a group hypnosis session, after which one woman proclaimed:

"My headache is gone!"

"You're welcome," I said with a smile.



Here's a brief breakdown of what was included on Saturday, Feb. 21st:

-Understanding stage hypnosis
-Ridiculous things I did while hypnotized on stage (!)
-My background and training
-How I became a hypnotherapist & comedy hypnotist
-How hypnosis works for weight loss, phobias & smoking cessation
-A group hypnosis demonstration
-A brief history of Milton H. Erickson and his unique approach
-How we are hypnotized by TV and media
-Deceptive advertising by pharmaceutical companies
-Giveaway of several of my hypnosis CD programs
-Q&A with audience

After talking with the folks at Serenity Lakes, it looks likely that I'll be speaking there on a regular basis (perhaps monthly), so be sure to check here on this blog, or sign up for the newsletter at purehypnosis.com to receive updates and details.

5 Things You Didn't Know Hypnosis Can Do

Everyone knows hypnosis can help you quit smoking and lose weight, but what else can you do with it? Here are some ideas...

1. Get over a breakup



I've posted a couple articles about this recently. Really, it works like this... hypnosis can help you to quickly change your focus, while forgetting (more often) about unpleasant memories, thoughts or experiences. This isn't "erasing" your memory, just speeding up the natural emotional healing process so you can move on and live your life.

2. Lose your internet addiction



One of the more common complaints I receive from clients is their inability to stop surfing (or playing) on the web. This causes stress due to procrastinating on the important tasks (getting things done). Eliminate procrastination and stress as you build automatic reminders that allow you to unplug from the monitor from time to time.

3. Change your career path

If you find yourself unhappy with your current job or career, but lack the confidence or creativity to change direction, hypnosis may be just what the doctor ordered. Taking a step back, evaluating your strengths and interests, and looking at things from a new perspective are only the beginning of what hypnosis can help you to do.

4. Don't sweat the small stuff (seriously)



You always hear people say "Don't sweat the small stuff," but they fail to teach you how, exactly, not to get upset when someone cuts you off in traffic. Hypnosis actually gives you the tools and the mindset to focus on what's important and let the little things go.

5. Have more fun



When you're feeling better, more comfortable in your own skin, and focusing on what's important, you don't need pills, drugs, food or booze to enjoy life. You're more comfortable being yourself, and thus more free to simply be. This lack of self-consciousness in social and intimate situations leads to a greater enjoyment of the moment, and greater satisfaction in life.

Hypnosis CD's: The Value of Reinforcement

This clip is from a my stop smoking hypnosis seminar on World Hypnotism Day. Here, I talk about why it's important to practice self-hypnosis (via the use of cd's) on a daily basis in order to enjoy the highest degree of success.
