To many people hypnosis seems exotic, mysterious, maybe even a bit mystical. Therefore it is difficult for many to connect with hypnosis, and to understand how they can personally benefit from hypnosis. Hypnosis is not mystical, and it is only mysterious when you don't know how it works--much like any other skilled profession.
Hypnosis is no more exotic or mysterious than dentistry. The only difference is we see a dentist on a regular basis throughout our entire life, but are much less likely to experience professional hypnosis, or hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a natural state that everyone experiences on a daily basis. At a minimum, you are in hypnosis twice a day. You pass through a hypnotic state as you asleep, and as you wake up. You may also experience hypnosis "zoning" in front of the TV, or you may experience "highway hypnosis," when you reach your destination but don't remember the details of the drive.
Sure, stage hypnosis is funny and the comedic hypnotists work hard to keep hypnosis mysterious--it's part of the show. But if this is the only exposure you've had to hypnotism, you've only scratched the surface. Hypnotism has many more practical uses that can benefit your everyday life.
Here are five common, everyday issues that hypnosis can help you with.
1. Insomnia. Hypnosis is incredibly effective for relieving insomnia. Most patients get relief within one session. Even people who have suffered from insomnia for years have experienced immediate relief. Hypnosis can be used to stop the symptom of insomnia and can be used as an ongoing therapy to prevent the return of insomnia. You can learn to use self hypnosis to get to or return to sleep in seconds.
2. Eliminate Anxiety. Anxieties begin when our subconscious mind associates a situation (a place, a happening, a person) with a bad experience. My Mom once got suddenly ill from the flu while in an elevator (completely circumstantial) and developed an anxiety about getting ill in public places and a phobia about closed spaces. If you see yourself in this type of situation, as so many do, hypnosis can help your subconscious mind break that association and release the anxiety.
3. End an Unwanted Habit. Want to quit smoking, biting your nails, or some other habit that you just can't seem to quit through "willpower" alone? The subconscious mind is 88% of our brain's power, so trying to quit with willpower alone means the odds are stacked against you, 12% against 88%. Your subconscious will not release the habit without intervention, and that is what hypnosis is, intervention for your subconscious mind. Convince your subconscious that you are a non-smoker, non-nail-biter, etc., and watch yourself change.
4. Develop the Confidence to Stand Up and Speak. Public speaking is the number one fear in America! As Jerry Seinfeld joked, people would rather die than speak in public. This fear is very common and can be relieved in hypnosis. Along with work in hypnosis to show your mind that speaking in public is a rewarding and comfortable experience, and NLP techniques to reframe the experience, you can become very comfortable with speaking at that next meeting!
5. Get Relief from Chronic Pain. Pain relief, an anesthetic effect, is a natural property of hypnosis. Before the discovery of ether, hypnosis was commonly used to anesthetize patients for surgery. Even today, hypnosis is being used for dental patients and for medical patients who cannot tolerate chemical anesthesia, and these patients tend to recover more quickly as well. What does this mean in your day to day life? Chronic aches and pains that are not responding to traditional medical approaches can be relieved by using the anesthetic properties of hypnosis. Once a qualified hypnotherapist teaches you how to use hypnosis this way, you can provide pain relief for yourself at any time, anywhere, in any circumstance. There are many more applications for hypnosis that can benefit you in your everyday life. Many have used hypnosis successfully for weight loss, to improve their memory, to find lost objects, and much, much more. How could hypnosis benefit your life

Dearest Readers,
DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING POST MIGHT OFFEND YOU. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND, OR READ IT WITH A PINCH OF SALT, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU STOP READING RIGHT NOW. THANKS, AND HAVE A GREAT DAY AHEAD!
I met up with a business associate for lunch the other day, and he shared with me his observations about the fairer sex here on our sunny island of Singapore. He is not from Singapore. He has lived here for close to 20 years.
As this is the first time we are meeting, at some point in the conversation, I said, "Oh, I am not Singaporean, I am Malaysian." He replied, "I could tell!" I was quite surprised. "Really? How?" One of the key reasons I was rather puzzled is because we were conversing in English. In the earlier days when I first came to Singapore, the taxi uncles would ask after a few minutes of conversation, "You are from Malaysia, right?" And that was because I spoke with a different Mandarin accent. Now, I think my accent has completely changed, and I never get that question any more.
Anyway, back to questioning my friend. He said, to my surprise, "Singaporean girls do not laugh. They only laugh from the throat, but not from the belly." He went on to share, "The word to describe them is constipated."
I immediately jumped to the Singaporean girls defence. "I am sure that it is just some of the Singaporean girls that you have met. It cannot be all." He said, "Come on, I have been here for close to 20 years! I have met many Singaporean girls" I said, "I still think it is a generalisation!" He gamely challenged me, "Well, you just go and observe from now on!" Just in case you are wondering if he is single, he is happily married with teenage children.
The above is my friends personal opinion. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and thats his. Whether his opinion is true or not, it did set me thinking. I think Singaporean or not, male or female, we probably come across as constipated at some point or other in our lives.
I love to smile, I love to laugh. I usually get these comment a lot. "You smile a lot!" or "You love to laugh, dont you?" or "Is it really so funny?" The last question came from a Singaporean guy friend of mine. Perhaps it is because my Chinese name has the word "Laugh". I am not sure. If Chinese name has a part to play, I sure am glad that both my kids have the word "Happy" in their Chinese name.
When I hear something funny, I do not worry about looking silly or looking unladylike. I will just laugh. And when I laugh, I would really vibrate with laughter. Not very glam I must say. But I do love a good laugh.
One of the key advices I always give to my clients or even blog readers when going on a date is, "Be happy! Smile! We all love to be around happy people!" Perhaps I should change my advice to,
"Do not be afraid to laugh! Laugh with your date, laugh at yourself! Even if nothing comes out of it, at least you have had a good laugh!"
In my humble opinion, think it is definitely better to come across as unglam than constipated. And like the saying go, "Laughter is the best medicine!" According to Wikipedia Laughter has been shown to lead to reductions in stress hormones. When laughing the brain also releases endorphins that can relieve some physical pain. Laughter also leads to a stronger immune system!
My dearest readers, so when was the last time you laughed? Like really, really laughed? What are you waiting for? Go and have a good laugh at my expense!

A major issue for both men and women in finding the right relationship is whether or not children will become a part of it. If your vision centers on creating a family with children, as mine did, learning that a potential partner can't conceive or has chosen not to have children -- or being that person -- can seem an insurmountable obstacle. It did in my life, but I found it wasn't so.
There is a cultural expectation that a woman will have a child. Being childless by choice "(childfree") is gaining acceptance for both women and men, and postponing motherhood until late in life has resulted in more women becoming "childless" by circumstance.
When I was 26, I was married to a man whom I adored and who treasured me. Children were central to our vision. We talked about names, how to raise them, what our values were. Then after surgery, my husband and I heard the doctor tell us, "I'm sorry, but you can't ever have children of your own." We were stunned.
Suddenly, life didn't seem worth living. After a time, we could barely talk to each other. I considered suicide, but came to realize that life on any terms was more attractive than death. Burdened by my husband's pain, I suggested we divorce so he could find a wife who could have his children. At first, he was horrified by the idea. Finally, he agreed.
I walked away from everything I "thought" was vital to my happiness. Amazingly, I experienced a lightness and spaciousness of being freed from limitation. I had the possibility of creating a completely different future for myself. By deciding that it had to be a life that would "not" have been possible if I had children, I opened a vast field of opportunity that had previously been beyond my imagination.
By the second year, I had a steady partner who was charming, creative, sexy, committed, years younger, and didn't care if he had kids. I loved him and felt loved by him, and supported in my lifestyle. I was delighted with my choices and happy with my life as a single woman without children. I had miraculously found my way out of the depth of despair and into joy.
Over and over, events develop that have demonstrated to me that we cannot know what the future will bring forth. When we are willing to live in the present and walk bravely into the mystery that unfolds before us, we can create and recognize opportunities that are often beyond our imagination.
Through the healing work I did, and now teach, in the Hoffman Process, I learned how experiences in our early years, especially birth through puberty, create false beliefs, mostly unconsciously and without our consent, about how we have to be and what we must have to belong, be loved, worthy, safe and successful. Finally, I came to understand why my ex-husband could not release his belief that he needed his own, biological children, and I could. The irony is that he never got over losing the relationship even though he had kids, and I became happily childfree.
Since children or no children can be such a critical issue, it's important to consider how, and when, to introduce the topic into a new relationship. Here are a few suggestions:
1. KNOW YOURSELF AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE LIMITS OF YOUR SITUATION
If infertility is your issue, would you be open to having children through adoption, surrogacy, or step-children? If you have chosen to be "childfree", how firm is your resolve? If a potential partner is "infertile" or chooses to be "childfree," is that a barrier to a relationship? Is it a preference or an absolute?
I have friends who ended loving, supportive relationships because their partner didn't want children, and then later chose to be "childfree" or found themselves "childless", regretting the relationship they ended. Others gave up their dream and always regretted it. Only you can make the choice that is best for you.
2. RECOGNIZE WHAT YOU WANT FROM THE RELATIONSHIP
Take the time to consider what kind of relationship you are looking for now. Do you want a long-term commitment or are you more interested in being in the moment and seeing where it will lead?
3. BRING IT UP EARLY AND BE TRUTHFUL
A great question to introduce the topic on an early date is either, " What's your dream?" or "What is your vision for your life?" And be ready to answer the question truthfully yourself. If children or no children are critical to the vision for either of you, it will become part of the conversation. Listen closely, be open to exploring, and respect each point of view.
At one time I wanted children desperately, but now I can't imagine motherhood ever being a part of my life. My life took another path. I moved through the maze of what were, at times, conflicting and confusing options to create a life of adventure, creativity, satisfaction, and passion. It just wasn't at all the life I imagined it would be. In some ways, it was better.
