What You Need to Know About Hypnosis...
Hypnosis is NOTHING like you see in the movies! People fear what they don't understand, but once they experience a thing first hand, suddenly they wonder why they were ever afraid in the first place. Many times people are told false ideas about what hypnosis is, and like Mark Twain said, "It's easier to fool people, than to convince them that they have been fooled."
The idea that you will end up not remembering anything, that you will dance around like a chicken, or become possessed by a demon are entertaining ideas, but not even close to how hypnosis works! In a Hypnotherapy Session, you will first have a discussion about the problems you are there for, and in that a layout for how your session will go will be discussed. When we start the induction, you will be reminded many times that you will remember everything that is said, and you will be closely monitored to make sure all is going well during your session.
During the session, you will be asked questions, and directed to visualize the things that were discussed before the session. In the session you will also be given directions on what changes you wish to make, and be reassured that you are in total control! When you are being brought out of the session, you will be again be reminded to remember everything that was said, and most people coming out of a session will feel energized, and balanced.

Balancing Mind, Body and Spirit
When you live in pain, or emotional distress, you not only become out of balance, but you also start to see and do things in ways much different than you did when you were healthy and in balance. Much of what Hypnosis is, is bringing the mind back in to balance, and in that helping to also bring balance to the Trilogy of Mind, Body and Spirit.
Nutrition & Supplements
For many of our sessions, we also talk about nutrition and supplements that can be taken to help. We have found that many problems in both the mind and the body, can have to do with nutritional deficiencies, and once brought back in to balance is when you see the real healing begin!
What Can Be Helped with Hypnosis
The short answer would be pretty much anything, but let's look at some of the more popular reasons people come to a Hypnotherapist for Help
Hypnosis for smoking is 3 times more effective than the nicotine patch, and 11 times more effective than trying to quit on your own! For this we work on the times you smoke out of habit, and work to build a good foundation so you don't substitute something else for smoking.
Weight Loss is another popular reason, and in this we work with what you need to stop eating, how you need to eat, how you feel about exercise, and goal setting. There are many levels to weight loss, some emotional, and many simply habit.
Fears and Phobias are another big reason people come for Hypnosis. There's a long list that we could cover here, but 2 prime examples would be Public Speaking or Spiders.
Anxiety and Stress are helped greatly with Hypnosis, and even PTSD! When we work with people suffering from these issues, we also really talk a lot about nutrtion, and ways we can also help the body heal physically as we help you heal emotionally.
When it comes to Addiction, it's always that moment of weakness, or time you thought "one time wouldn't hurt" that gets you back on the wrong path. Sessions like this we work to build in a trigger that you can use to bring down your desire to make that mistake, and overcome that moment of weakness.
Memory is something that can be greatly improved with hypnosis, and even is used by law enforcement to get a better picture of what might have happened, and obtain more details! When it comes to studying, people often don't realize that the mind they study in is like a filing cabinet, but the mind they are in when they get to a test doesn't always know where the other mind put the information!
Sports and Athletics are more that hypnosis can be used to improve, and many top athletes use hypnosis techniques to get in the right state of mind before a performance or race. Another big reason for hypnosis in sports is to push through the wall, or get past what you expect your top level really is.
Pain management is another big use for hypnosis today. Many people simply don't like how they feel when using heavy medications for pain, and need to have a clearer mind to function at work or in relationships. Hypnosis has been used for people that are allergic to anesthesia, and actual surgery has been performed on people without any medications to make them unconscious!
Healing the body is a use for hypnosis that has many applications, some that are even beyond explanation. Hypnosis can be used before surgeries to reduce stress and visualize the desired outcome. Hypnosis can help heal injuries faster, and even has healed problems that were considered incurable!
Past Lives are another reason people come to a Hypnotherapist, and there are many documented cases where information given in a session was 100% accurate to things they had now way of knowing, or even speaking languages they don't know how to speak! That said, during many sessions there's no way to know if the past life information is correct or not, but we have found that sometimes there are events in life that are the root cause of problems the person is having, but that real life situation isn't one that is best to relive; in that, a past life story can often explain what happened without having to relive the experience, but the healing from the process is still the same!

Past Life Regression
Past Life Regression is something that can be done for fun, or for healing. There have been many documented cases where people in hypnosis have talked about their past lives, where the information given has been authenticated; in fact, one well known author who specialized in Past Lives, had a whole staff dedicated to confirming information that was given during her sesssions! Even if you don't believe in past lives, this doesn't mean it can't be an effective method to be used to heal issues in your life. What we've found is that some things that happen in our lives have been blocked out by the mind, but need to be brought to the surface in order to heal the past; however, some things were blocked for a reason, and to go in to that situation might open up a whole new can of worms that you don't really want to deal with. In a past life scenario, you can create a story-line that works with what needs healed, without having to re-live the events you blocked out. The truth is, the subconscious doesn't decide on what is true or not, and in that healing can happen without actually dredging up the past.
Rememory Therapy ®
What you are today is a culmination of how you remember your past, and the habits that you've adopted along the way. We think of time as past, present, and future, but as far as we are concerned, time happens all at once. To understand this, think if you had someone do something to you 10 years ago, and because of that you never spoke to them again. Today you find out that the person that really did it to you was your best friend, not the person you quit speaking to. At that moment you easily decide that you can't be mad at the person that you believed did it, but also you realize that your best friend was still your best friend all this time in spite of what they did. In that moment you have changed your past, present, and your future. This is how Hypnosis works in healing problems we have been carrying with us, but re-writing the memory in a way that we can let go of what we need to, and remember it in a way that allows our future to move forward on a much better path.
Audio Recordings
We offer audio recordings for our clients, to use after their sessions are over to reinforce the things we worked on during their sessions. The price for this after 3 sessions is $60.00. Recordings done with less than 3 sessions start at $100.00, and could be more depending on how in-depth we have to get to come up with a proper plan for the recording.
Honey & Beekeeping
Though not really related to Hypnotherapy, we also offer treatment-free honey for sale, which we harvest from our local bees, and we sell, bees and bee boxes for those that wish to keep bees themselves. You can learn more at our website The Thriving Hive
