It is hard to believe that 2010 is almost over, and we are getting ready to experience the beginning of a new decade. Are you ready to experience the best decade of your life, or are you still hanging on to old beliefs, old behaviors, and all the things that Your Ego dictates is what you are. Have you tried to stop smoking, eliminate addictions, lose weight,  and increase self worth and self esteem? Have you read all of the books and seen all of the videos on the Law of Attraction, and yet nothing seems to change?  Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett, has the solution.

One of the firsts thing that I teach my clients is the fact that while we are not our thoughts, we are not our feelings, and we are not our body, we certainly experience our thoughts feelings, and body. And we usually experience it in such a way that could swear that these things are exactly what we are.

Think about that, if someone asks you, “Who are you?” what would you answer?  Most of us would answer, “I am (fill in your name)”, or I am an American citizen, or I am a father, a mother, an (fill in your occupation)”, and a whole list of who we are according to the roles that we play.  Therein lays the problem. We believe we are these things, these roles that we play, such as “I am an addict, I am a cancer victim, I am the survivor of abuse”, and once again the list goes on and on.  It is the EGO that plays these roles, and they actually break down into three roles, 1) Victim, 2) Perpetrator 3) Hero. When your EGO is playing any one of these roles, it has the one thing that it really wants. It has the starring role in the drama you call your life.

What if you were able to do things differently in 2011? What if you were able to stop being a victim, a slave to your thoughts, and feelings, what if you could consciously let go of playing a role in your life, and actually begin living and experiencing your life the way you truly want and desire. What if you found out how easy it is too actually take control, become the master of those thoughts and feelings? It can be done, and one of the easiest ways of doing this is through the use of Hypnosis, Mindfulness and NLP.

Using the techniques of mindfulness and hypnosis, (plus the technique known as Emotional Release Therapy, which has helped hundreds of people eliminate addictive behavior from their lives), I teach my clients how to unattach from these roles created by our thoughts, and allow themselves to become the conscious observer of these thoughts and feelings, and roles.

The first thing to do is to learn to observe the thoughts, don’t attach to them simply let them float through your mind. Long ago in a conference class through Washington Hypnosis Association, I learned a technique that is an easy and effective way of doing this, and can be done without having to go into a deep meditative trance.

The next time you have a thought come up, such as when someone annoys you or does something that is rude, such as tries to cut in line in front of you, simply stop and ask yourself the question, “where did this thought come from”, answer yourself, “from me”, then ask, “who created this thought”, answer, “I created this thought” then ask yourself the question, “who am I”.  No matter what the answer, such as “I am (name)”, or “I am a male, female. Etc.” do not try to analyze the answer, simply go right back to the first question, “now where did that thought come from”. 

As you continue to run these questions through your mind, you will begin to notice that every thought is just that, it is a thought, and nothing more.  I personally practice this technique a lot, and have found that I react to my thoughts less and less, and this gives me more options in which I can choose how I want to react in any given situation.

With just this simple Mindfulness technique you can start letting go attachments to your EGO / brain created thoughts, feelings and roles, and start choosing a way of relating to the world and especially your immediate environment that will create and attract a life of abundance, happiness, and joy.

Using Mindfulness you will be able to let go of thoughts and emotions that have kept us stuck, and by adding the deep trance state of Hypnosis you will be able to implant new images, new messages, and the type of positive thoughts and images that will manifest the type of life you desire.

If you are ready to truly change your life, to keep those promises to yourself about becoming a nonsmoker, losing the weight you have been dreaming of, letting go of anxiety, phobias, and fears. Finally being able to get a decent night’s sleep, without waking every few hours plagued by random thoughts, and images that create stress and anxiety, THEN CALL NOW!!!!!  Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett serves the Seattle Bellevue area, and is located just minutes from I-5 in North Seattle near Shoreline.  The number is (206) 417-4900.

You can eliminate the bounds of addiction 100% guaranteed. You can free yourself from whatever issue or behavior you have been struggling with no matter what anyone else has told you or no matter what anyone else claims, and I have witnessed people do this with the power of their subconscious mind! These techniques are available to anyone who wishes to finally end their addictive behavior, and is taught through Foundations Hypnosis hypnosis for addicts.

I have seen people stop their daily and continued use of such drugs as Crystal Meth, Heroin, Cocaine, Alcohol, and Nicotine by learning powerful and effective methods of self hypnosis, mindfulness and meditation. Hypnotherapy help is not only available but is highly effective.

First I would like to establish, what exactly is an addict?  According to the dictionary, the word addict means to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively.

Last week I started working with a client for weight loss. When they arrived for their first appointment they mentioned that they were not sure if I would be the appropriate choice for a weight loss program, due to my heavy emphasis on addiction. They went on to say that after thinking about it, they realized that some of their weight issues probably revolved around and addiction to food. I congratulated them on coming to the realization that one of the reasons that it is so hard to lose weight is because of the need to constantly focus upon food, diet, and eating.

This same rule applies to drugs, alcohol, obsessive compulsive behavior and just about any issue or problem that a person is dealing with in their lives.

Let’s look at drugs for example. Most addiction treatment is based on focusing on the idea that the drug is the enemy, and we must constantly focus on the fact that we are a drug addict, and are in a continual war on drugs.  This approach has proven to be unsuccessful on many levels. The United States has been waging a war on drugs for years, and is losing miserably. Treatment centers have continually addressed drug and alcohol addiction as a fight against the substance, and the recovery rates are very dismal. People have been fighting weight with diets and gimmicks that treat food as the enemy, something to be avoided and fought against, and yet we are experiencing epidemic levels of obesity in this country. Looking at the list of treatment centers and diet centers from Seattle, Bellevue, Shoreline, North Seattle, Everett, Lynwood, and Kirkland, seems to suggest that we have so many places to go, but are finding very little success.

Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Bellevue teaches you how to reclaim the power and control in your life, by teaching you self hypnosis to relieve stress and anxiety, one of the major reasons that people use substances in an addict fashion.  Foundations also teach mindfulness techniques that are the corner stone of such treatment programs like the ones used by UW Medical Centers.  When you experience the power of your subconscious mind, and gain hypnotherapy help, you will learn to stop focusing on the problem and start focusing on the solution. It was Mother Theresa who stated, “I will not attend an anti war demonstration, but I will attend a peace demonstration”. Here was a woman who understood the true power of attention, and how you can use your own focus of attention to eliminate behaviors and addictions in your life by that power.

CALL NOW!! If you are experiencing any issues or problems with any kind of addiction, or obsessive compulsive behavior in your life, YOU CAN TAKE CONTROL, YOU CAN ELIMANATE that behavior and live a life of freedom and happiness. Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett  at (206) 417-4900.

Most clients are seeking hypnosis for two major issues; one is smoking cessation while the other is weight loss. I have recently noticed that majority of phone calls that I am receiving are about using Hypnosis for weight loss, and the big question, does it work.

The answer is YES!!!! What the mind can believe the mind can achieve. Foundations Hypnosis Seattle, teaches some very basic skills when it comes to using hypnosis to lose weight. The booklet that you will receive when you come in for your six session protocol provides a simple and effective check list of measurable objectives that you will obtain through the training portion of your Mental Diet.

Let’s face it, it is unreasonable to expect to come into a Hypnotherapy office, have the Hypnotherapist, or Hypnotist put you into a Hypnotic Trance, and simply tell you to stop eating.  What you really want is to change the behaviors and habits that got you to where you are today, and to do that you need to put to commit to the process.
At Foundations Hypnosis you will learn about the relationship between stress and weight gain. (Did you know that when you are exposed to stress, your body releases a hormone called Cortisol, & Cortisol is directly related to abdominal fat, blood sugar imbalances and impaired thyroid function)?  You will be taught an effective and easy self hypnotic technique that will help to return your body to its normal relaxed state, and thus help eliminate the negative effects of excess Cortisol in the system.

At each session you will be placed in a series of  induction that will set the stage for such behavior changes as improved self perception,  the ability to eat less, more slowly, and cut out between meal cravings, without any conscious effort on your part.

Along with these changed behaviors around eating, you will also discover a new desire to exercise more, and a way of looking at what you eat, all without any conscious effort.

You receive this booklet at your first visit, and you will also receive a CD for weight loss,  for your own daily use, making sure that are kept on track during those critical first six sessions.

Recently one client came to her second session and explained to me that just two days after she had her last session, someone had brought jelly doughnuts to work and after having just two bites she had to excuse herself from the break room because she found herself not wanting to be around the sweet snacks. “That has never happened to me before”, she exclaimed happily.

You will also be taught a quick and easy mantra that will allow you to effortlessly reduce stress and anxiousness before it has a chance to cause havoc with the body.  Another client explained how she had found herself sitting In front of the television, watching the nightly news, and realized that she was using her physical and mental mantra without knowing she was doing it.

The skills and tools used to help a client loss weight will last a life time and will help in many other problem areas of your life.

If you are interested in losing weight, and live in the greater Seattle of North Seattle area but are tired of endless gimmicks, and fad diets, that cause you to lose weight and then gain it all back plus more, then call Foundations Hypnosis Seattle, and North Seattle  NOW!!!!! (206) 417-4900
