Warning: the side effect of a balanced happy brain can be a dramatic shift in the size and shape of your body! This is the true story of how I released 40 pounds last fall and have kept it off through nutritional cleansing.

Ten years ago I became the executive producer for a major market morning news show. My crazy schedule helped me gain 55 pounds in six month. My skin turned a slightly ugly shade of gray and for the first time in my life I was actually looking my age.

It’s amazing what stress will do to your body. The morning program didn’t last but I ended up running the stations entire news operation and taking on more stress and a little more weight.

In 2001 with the ratings on the rise and my career taking off, I left the business and the stress and became a Hypnotherapist.

Slowly about 17 pounds came off but at 208 pounds I still didn’t look nor feel like my true self.

Hypnotherapy had helped me feel great about my bigger body, and healed my life in many many ways, yet I was still out of balance.

Those months working the overnight shift had not yet been erased. Yet as I did the Hypnotherapy I began to experience an urge to just cleanse my body and my entire life.

That was when I stumbled into John Gray’s new work. I like so many of us had read “Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus.” and could really identify with all those behaviors men and women seem to fall into.

But thanks to a recent health crisis John Gray had discovered a huge error in his life’s work. Men didn’t have to act like they were from Mars and Women didn’t have to always behave like they’re from Venus. All those behaviors are symptoms of unbalanced brain chemistry caused by a lack of trace minerals and balanced nutrients in the body.

You can change your brain chemistry by changing your thought patterns with Hypnosis, coaching or even psychotherapy. Or you can change the things you put in your body and watch your chemicals change your thoughts. Or you can do both!

I read John’s “Mars, Venus, Diet and Exercise Solution” and skipped ahead to the instructions and jumped right into his nine day cleansing program.

Druing my first cleanse I lost 10 pounds and felt a huge inner shift. I waited a week and did it again. There went another 15 pounds. I waited two weeks and did it again and there went another ten pounds.

I added a liver detox and a parasite cleanse on my own and felt like my entire body had been restored. I have my 160 pound body back. I fit in my 30 inch waist jeans… and I need to have my 38 inch suit pants tailored.

I will turn 46 this summer and I look and feel at least ten years younger. My old coworkers don’t even recognize me.

My clients want to know exactly what I did and how they too can do it.

But what I tell them and everyone who will listen is that this isn’t about the weight. It’s about restoring the balance to my body and my brain and my life.

The weight loss has just been a side effect. My cravings for junk food, sweets, and between meal snacks are gone.

I have a whole new appreciation to food. I can now feel an instant reaction to the food I put in my body. If my body wants and needs it, it feels good. If it’s not right for my body I feel it.

My skin has cleared up. My hair is softer. My breath smells better. I have more energy. I sleep better. I don’t even snore as much. My heart burn is gone.

Just as the last of the weight was coming off, I discovered the world leader in nutritional cleansing and a way that my clients, friends and family could repeat my success without having to read John’s book and buy a bunch of different cleanses.

I now help coach people through a simple cleanse with products from this company and guess what? I even got to meet my new business partner, John Gray. And he’s not the only amazing business partner I now have. I’m now working with Jack Canfield of “Chicken Soup for the Soul” fame and a team of amazing healers and health care professionals.
Since switching to these cleansing products and flooding my body with nutrition I’m now not only thinner and balanced… but I feel better than I ever thought I could. It really wasn’t until I started feeling this good that I realized just how bad I had been feeling most of the time. We get so used to the way a body full of junk feels that we don’t even realize what is possible.
I now experience moments of bliss out of the blue. It usually hits a few minutes into exercise or when I’m out for a walk. My heart opens, I feel a sense of joy and I just get this uncontrollable urge to smile.

My clients who are now on the cleanse are not only looking great and losing weight but are experiencing the benefits of Hypnotherapy at a faster rate. Now that the impurities are out of their systems the self transformation work is easier and the all around changes in their lives are even more profound.

By following my link, you can order any of the cleansing or nutrient rich products. You can even become your own distributor and make some money helping people heal their bodies and their lives. Before you order anything, give me a call. I’ve actually gotten really good at helping people figure out which cleanse will work best for them.
I think it is important to do a subconscious cleanse at the same time. Purging your mind of all those unhealthy thought patterns that had you turning to food for comfort, love, safety etc.

You can cleanse your mind much the same way I did by following my TranceBreaker Hypnotic Experiences. I’ve created a series of 21 Hypnotic recordings that are designed to cleanse ever aspect of your life.

They begin with “You Deserve To Be Here” this will help get you ready for any cleanse be reaffirming your deservedness, because after all you do deserve a thinner body and a balanced brain and life.

The trances are sold individually in MP3’s or CD’s or you can buy them in sets of three. Each set is organized around issues as they relate to the Chakras or energy centers in the body.

I suggest listening to each recording once a day for at least three days if not a week before moving on to the next. Don’t skip any of the first three recordings they’re essential to an effective cleanse. TranceBreakers class two promotes Deep and Complete Self Acceptance. With out that you’re just wasting your time. And TranceBreakers class number three will free you from poverty consciousness and help you begin to manifest more of what you want in your life.

The second Chakra trances cleanse your feeling center allowing you to both heal negative feelings and at the same time getting you in touch with exactly how you feel. This also cleanses what ever trauma, drama, guilt or shame you associate with sex.

The third Chakra trances are your chance to purge yourself of being a victim, this is an essential part of a cleanse. You’ll learn in a subconscious way the art of setting boundaries and experience the power that only exists in this moment.

The fourth Chakra journeys will cleanse your heart so that when you are ready you too will experience the same bliss I’ve been having. The trances promote a deeper sense of self love and a true experience of unconditional love.

The fifth Chakra journeys cleanse away the blocks to speaking your truth and communicating with your higher self.

Sixth Chakra trances open cleanse away the toxic thoughts that cloud the way you see the world. People who listen to these trances report an opening to their intuition and a freedom from taking everything so personally. It’s a chance to open your mind to new ways of thinking and being in the world.

The seventh Chakra trances cleanse your connection to the divine. This series allows you to balance your masculine and feminine energies so that you can connect more fully with the part of you that is eternal and divine. It also helps you to shift past what for many is the ultimate fear, the fear of death.

None of these trances is specifically for weight loss because weight loss is only a symptom of a toxic mind. All of these trances are designed to cleanse your mind of toxic thoughts. A side effect is weight loss, and when you couple the trances with the Isagenix cleanse the weight comes off both quickly and easily.

You too can have the same experience I and my clients are having.

I work with people all over the country over the phone, doing hypnosis and life coaching to help them become their true selves and in the process create their true bodies. Perhaps I can even help you.

TranceBreaker Hypnotherapy Recordings

So how do you super charge your affirmations? I use a technique that involves recording them and creating a chorus of my own voice and then listening to it every day for a few minutes.

First you will want to write out your affirmations and put them through a feeling test to make sure every word fills you with positive feelings, images and sensations. Then record them. It helps to have at least three minutes worth of affirmations. You will be surprised how long three minutes is.

You can record this directly onto your PC or Mac with microphone or record it on a digital recorder and upload the file to your computer. Then using an audio editing program you can loop your affirmations so that you have 15 minutes of solid affirmations. You can save this loop as one track and lay it down again starting it 15 to 20 seconds after your first loop. I have done this where I’ve added it over and over again until I have more than 80 versions of my reciting my affirmations playing at the same time. I then turn the volume of the affirmations down and mix in some relaxing music.

The result is an amazingly powerful hypnotic journey. I did this for a client with cancer. She listened to her affirmations at least once a day every day for over a year. I watched in amazement as everything she affirmed began to come true in her life. One of her affirmations was that people would be looking at her bald head because she was so attractive and it was so sexy. She forgot that this was on her tape and came in one day telling me how even with her bald head men were hitting on her. Her affirmation was working even though she didn’t even remember it was on her tape.

If you need some good audio software for creating multiple track audio, there’s a shareware program for free called audacity that works on PC’s and is very effective for a project like this.

Here’s a link to download it. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

If you use a Mac your garage band program can create multiple tracks and is just as easy to use as Audacity. You may need to buy a new version of I-life that includes garage band if you are using an older mac.

You can do all this without a computer the old fashioned way, cutting and splicing audio tape. That can take forever and there’s no room for errors. Once the tape is cut, it is cut.

You can also purchase affirmation recordings right here on United Hypnotherapy. As you listen to a Hypnotherapy recording that includes positive suggestions and affirmations, try repeating the suggestion to yourself as you hear it. This can make the experience even more powerful.

Happy manifesting!

I’ve had many clients over the years who find themselves in relationships that are sexually out of balance. One partner wants sex the other partner doesn’t. It’s amazing how much stress something like this can put on the relationship.

The partner who wants sex and is rebuffed ends up feeling rejected and the rejecting partner can end up feeling guilty and angry and wanting sex even less.

This issue is more common than most of my clients in this situation realize. Part of the issue is that they think they’re the only ones to have faced this problem and some go years without ever discussing it to anyone.

I’ve noticed that this issue is particularly true of couples with young children. The woman may spend all day having children touching her and surrendering her personal boundaries to the needs of her kids for affection and touch. Then when her husband goes to touch her she flinches or pulls away.

The husband not being touched all day by his kids, has no clue as to what is going on and jumps right into a state of rejection. Why does my wife not enjoy physical intimacy any more? What am I doing wrong? Why has everything changed?

Communication is the key to restoring balance to any relationship. In the above example it is helpful for the wife to share what it is like to have little ones tugging and pulling and hugging and grabbing all day long. This creates a dialogue and an opportunity for both partners to discover a way to ignite passion and over come the over touch experience created by the kids.

With all issues in a relationship communication is the answer. But talking about sex can be embarrassing, awkward, and difficult for many couples. I encourage my clients to keep a sense of humor as they explore sexual issues with their partner. It doesn’t have to be heavy. Being able to laugh especially about your own issues is often a really healthy approach to the topic.

Good sex is about sharing pleasure and passion. Yet so many of my clients have no real idea of how exactly to pleasure their partners. They don’t know what turns their partners on, only what turns them off. They don’t know their partners fantasies, the type of touch they prefer, or how to really give them pleasure. Most couples in my practice with sexual issues in their relationship don’t even talk about such things.

The first step here is knowing what you want, like and need from a sexual relationship. Sex is best when it is a little selfish. Many people find that what turns them on the most is experiencing their partner lost in passion and ecstasy. In order to be lost in passion and ecstasy one must put their own needs first. With sex it is possible for both couples to do this at the same time. When they do, the intensity of the experience is off the charts.

My parents who are both Certified Hypnotherapists have devoted an entire chapter of their book, “The Art of Relationship, The New Perspective” to helping couples discover their sexual passion and communicate it to each other.

They advice couples to explore sensuality rather than sexuality and have three interesting exercises to help each person discover what “turns them on” and how to communicate that to his or her partner.

Many of my clients have followed my parents exercises and I’ve watched it improve their relationships and help restore the sexual desire balance. But many also encounter guilt and shame so strong that it keeps them from even reading the chapter.

I’ve found that in order to really enjoy any pleasure it helps to let go of guilt and shame. For years now I’ve been leading groups and individual clients through a shame release process. I call it “The Pleasure Trip” and I’ve recently recorded the process so that anyone can begin to free themselves from guilt and shame.

Releasing guilt and shame around pleasure and sex makes communicating with a partner effortless and easy. Sex is natural. Sex is beautiful. Sex is the ultimate act of creation. We are most god like when we are being sexual. If any of these words offend you, or push your buttons, then perhaps there is some shame to release.

Once your really get that you have a right to feel intense pleasure and sexual passion, that such feelings are natural, normal and delightful, you can begin creating a healthy balanced harmonious relationship with a partner.

Before you dive into a sexual conversation with your partner, it can be helpful to start by getting to know what things in general bring your partner pleasure. What is his favorite color, favorite food, favorite texture? What sort of sounds set of pleasure deep inside of her?

Sex is just one way of sharing pleasure in a relationship. Get creative. There are thousands of ways we can make love to our partners that have nothing to do with sex. Making love can be about sharing pleasure. For the partner who loves clean and organized spaces, house cleaning can be an act of love making.

Sexual desire imbalances are often symptomatic of a relationship out of balance. It may seem like it is about sex, but often times the more we work on these issues, the real issues begin to emerge. Again communication is the key.

Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Self Hypnosis recordings can all be tools for improving communication, getting in touch with real passion, wants and needs, and uncovering the real issues beneath the imbalance.

Please note that my experience with couples is as a coach and Hypnotherapist not as a Psychotherapist or Marriage Counselor. Many of my clients also seek out Marriage Family Therapists and use Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching in conjunction with their regular therapy not as a substitute.

I seem to be working with a number of people who are thriving with cancer at this moment and I have had some interesting realizations about the disease over the past few months.

Cancer is the ultimate disease of not being ones true self. Your cells actually forget who they are and start trying to be something other than you.

People who can’t speak their truth have cells that forget who they are in their throats and mouths.

People who forget how to love themselves or others get cells that forget themselves in their chests.

People who deny their true feelings get cells out of control in their bladder and sex organs.

People who refuse to embrace their own power and forget who they are get cells that forget right in their gut, their liver, their kidneys, their pancreas.

People who forget that they deserve to live, and can’t come to completely and deeply accept themselves get cells that forget in their intestine, colon, and rectum.

I’m learning more about this as I witness client after client experience this disease with all its lessons, gifts and griefs.

I’ve noticed that clients whose doctors are insensitive and cold hearted, resists their terminal diagnosis and do whatever it takes to prove the doctors wrong. Those with kind loving doctors take the suggestion to die to heart and often live exactly as long as the doctor predicts. I’ve come to see cold and even mean doctors as a real blessing.

I’ve learned that some bodies can handle even the strongest of chemo therapies without the slightest negative side effect. Reiki, EFT and Hypnosis can really help make this so.

I’ve learned that people who love life grieve the very thought of it ending. I’ve learned that all grief is a form of love and as such deserves to be fully expressed and admired for its beauty.

I’ve learned that we are all stronger than we think.

I’ve learned that allowing others to help us is sometimes the greatest gift we can give. The sooner my clients discover this the faster they seem to heal.

I’ve learned that it is okay … even amazingly great at times… to die. When the worse that could happen is death and death begins to seem really kind of cool, it makes living much more fun. No time is wasted on worry over death.

I’ve learned that every day of life, every breath we take is a miracle. Since it is all a miracle then why not ask for just one more miracle and for the cancer to just go away?

I’ve learned that at any moment we can give up our stories. Many cancer clients are living on borrowed time. This extra life doesn’t have to be lived with the stories of past pains influencing the present. Everyone can choose in this moment to tap into unconditional love, and open their hearts.

Death can be like a pregnancy. A person in their final phases of life can have a certain glow and the soul can be so present in their eyes. It can be an honor to witness this amazing transition.

Life is a terminal illness. We are all dying each day. So why not live? Really live life in every moment? Why waste time on worry? Why waste time on fear? We need not have cancer to learn these lessons. We can all take the time to open our hearts to love without first facing fear, disease and death.

My cancer clients have enjoyed my “Healing Journey Recording”, and benefited most from “Embracing Your Own Death” a trance that releases our fear of death.

Do you ever procrastinate? Are you one of those people who puts off doing things until the last minute? If you are, you are not alone. If you’re not a procrastinator, then good for you! I envy you.

In the past I’ve been a huge procrastinator. If I could put something off, I’d put it off. I wrote all my school papers, even term papers the night before they were due. I would do my Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. I would wait until company was on their way to my house to start cleaning up.

It wasn’t that I didn’t enjoy writing papers, shopping or even house cleaning. There are times that I really enjoy all of those things. I just couldn’t get myself to do them until I had the pressure of a deadline.

This need for deadlines and the rush of racing to meet them is probably a big part of what lured me into television news. In fact I discovered that nearly every person in TV news is a big time procrastinator. That meant that motivating people to finish special projects for ratings sweeps was always a challenge. I had to artificially create a deadline that would feel just as real as having to finish a story to make it into a nightly newscast.

Creating deadlines, even artificial ones can be a great tool for shifting past procrastination. The more real you can make your deadline the more apt you may be to meet it.

As you set out to do projects you may find it helpful to create a situation with built in deadlines. If they don’t exist you may find it helpful to just make up a deadline and see if that helps motivate you into action.

Deadlines are even more effective when there are consequences for missing or hitting them. I try to reward myself for making my deadlines and make it as uncomfortable as possible to miss the deadline. Now, I only ever do what I really want to do. Having consequences is not a way to “should myself” into meeting a deadline, it is just a way to help me remember what I REALLY WANT.

You can create consequences by recruiting an accountability partner. This is someone who you share your deadline with and when you meet the deadline this partner helps you celebrate.

Your task for today is to pick a project that you’ve been putting off. Set a deadline for completing it. Then pick someone, it can be anyone, including me or someone else in this program. Share your deadline with that person then start your project.

Remember procrastination can be rife with negative emotions and self hypnosis using a United Hypnotherapy recording is always an excellent resource for shifting past negative emotions.
