I can do anything I want.

It’s true!  I can do anything, go anywhere, get anything, and meet anyone I desire.

This, for me, is the beginning of all the positive changes I make in my Life.  It seems paradoxical, but in order to push past my limitations, I first consider the range of abundance before me in all directions.

How do I know it works?  Because it works for my clients!

Using the example of clients who want to lose weight, it’s pretty common that clients don’t want to have “rules” about what they can and can’t eat, or time of day, or volume, etc.  Yes, they want help, and Yes, they hate being told what to do.  It’s not that they’re too resistant to change; it’s that their nature is to rebel against an authoritarian voice.

Even if they are willing to do what they have to do to reach their goals, their natural inclination to resist will also cause their subconscious to reject suggestions that are authoritarian.  So how do I help them?  Simple—I begin by letting them know that they are in control, they make their own decisions, and they are allowed to make any decision they want.  Once they master the idea that they are in control and no one can make them do anything they don’t want to do, they become more willing to make positive changes.

In a hypnotic trance, a client can go through this process in just a few seconds, or it may take several minutes at most.  I give them whatever time they need.

Clients always let me know what their level of resistance is, and what their style of suggestibility is.  In fact, everyone I encounter displays this information in their body language, eye movement, tone of voice, dozens of verbal cues, and responses to questions and questioning.  There is usually no question about how to proceed once they sit down in The Trance Chair!  By that time we have become partners, and their trance induction is already underway.

So, after the sessions are over and the clients have all left for the day, after I’ve taken notes and put away all their case folders, when I am alone with my thoughts, I eventually get to the One Big Question that guides my existence:  How can I use today’s experience to make me better?  Here it is…

I can do anything I want.  I can do anything, go anywhere, get anything, and meet anyone I desire.  Once I master that thought, I can quickly identify what I really need, and I begin another path to align my conscious and subconscious desires.
