# Awakened Hypnosis > Hello, and welcome to my site. I am thrilled to have you visit. ## Posts - [How Many Hypnotherapy Sessions Do You Need? A Realistic Guide to Expectations](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/how-many-hypnotherapy-sessions-do-you-need/): Before committing to hypnotherapy, people often want to know how many sessions are typically required to address a specific issue. That, however, is not a question that can be answered without any background information. The answer depends on the individual and the issue being addressed. Factors That Affect the Session Count Some goals can be achieved in just a few sessions, while others may take much longer. The number of sessions required for an intervention depends on a several factors: Things to Keep in MindHere are some things to keep in mind when considering hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is tailored, not standardized. A […] - [Does Hypnosis Really Work for Anxiety?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/does-hypnosis-really-work-for-anxiety/): Anxiety is one of the most common human experiences. It often arises when we either lose or anticipate losing control over our circumstances, or when we anticipate bad outcomes in the future. Anxiety is often accompanied by physical sensations, which can range from mild to severe. Anxiety often creates a thought loop that, if not interrupted, spins in our mind without a restraint, causing mental and emotional distress. Hypnotherapy works to break the unrestrained mental loops, reinforces physical well-being, and helps to release the fight or flight response to the situations. How Hypnosis Helps Anxiety During hypnosis, the hypnotherapist helps the […] - [Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns (And How to Break Them)](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/repeating-patterns/): At some point or another, many people begin to notice certain patterns in their lives. It might show up in relationships—the same type of partner, the same dynamics, the same endings. Or it might appear internally—the same emotional reactions, the same fears, the same moments of self-doubt. Even when the circumstances change, the experiences may still feel familiar. Often, we ask ourselves, “Why does this keep happening to me?” It’s easy to assume the answer is a lack of willpower or poor decision-making. But in most cases, the truth runs deeper than that. Patterns are not just habits. They are subconscious […] - [What Can Hypnotherapy Help With? Common Issues and Realistic Outcomes](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/what-can-hypnotherapy-help-with-common-issues-and-realistic-outcomes/): Many people seek hypnotherapy after trying to change patterns through willpower, logic, or traditional counseling — without lasting success. Hypnotherapy differs from these approaches in that it works directly with the subconscious mind where most of our beliefs and behavioral responses are stored. Common Issues Hypnotherapy Supports Hypnosis can be helpful with a wide range of issues. It can be used as a primary therapeutic modality, or a supporting one, helping individuals to achieve goals that can range from changing specific behaviors to improving one’s mental state to healing grief and trauma to finding peace with oneself and others. Here are […] - [How to Build Self-Trust When You've Spent Years Doubting Yourself](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/how-to-build-self-trust-when-youve-spent-years-doubting-yourself/): When the time comes to make decisions, do you trust yourself to make the right ones? Self-trust is not something you either have or don’t have. It is something that is built—or lost—over time. Many people lose self-trust gradually. Many people are taught during formative years that external authority figures know best what is good for them. Through experiences where their feelings are dismissed, their instincts are ignored, and they are encouraged to seek external validation, they lose touch with their internal knowing. Maybe you were told you were “too sensitive.” Maybe your choices were constantly questioned or corrected. Maybe you […] - [What Does Hypnosis Feel Like? A First-Time Client's Experience](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/what-does-hypnosis-feel-like-a-first-time-clients-experience/): Many people come to a hypnotherapy session unsure of what will happen or how it will feel. Hypnotherapy is first and foremost a therapeutic experience, so every session involves some conversation, during which the clients share any behavioral changes or insights they are experiencing, and the hypnotherapist asks questions and determines what beliefs or behaviors should be reinforced during the hypnosis. During the first session, the clients usually talk about the issues they want to address, the background that is relevant to those issues, and collaborate with the hypnotherapist on developing goals for the process. The hypnosis is usually the last […] - [Healing the Inner Child in a Chaotic World](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/healing-the-inner-child-in-a-chaotic-world/): We are living at a time when uncertainty feels constant. News cycles move quickly. Global events feel intense. The sense of stability many people once relied on can feel shaken or unpredictable. Even if you’re not directly impacted by what’s happening in the world, your nervous system often registers the tension. And for many, this doesn’t just create present-day stress; it activates something much older. It touches the inner child. The “inner child” is that part of you that holds early emotional experiences – your first impressions of safety, connection, fear, and belonging. It is where unmet needs, unprocessed emotions, and […] - [Can Anyone Be Hypnotized? Understanding Hypnotizability and Openness](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/can-anyone-be-hypnotized-understanding-hypnotizability-and-openness/): Many people wonder whether hypnosis will work for them personally. Some people insist that they can never by hypnotized because they are strong-willed. In my experience, most people can experience hypnosis, but everyone experiences it differently. Hypnotizability is not about being weak, intelligent, or gullible. It is more about the ability to focus and use imagination, an ability to follow guidance, and openness to the process. But even more than that, it is about one’s sense of trust and the willingness to participate in the process. What Can Affect the Experience? Depending on the person, entering into a hypnotic state can […] - [The Prophecy for Our Time](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/the-prophecy-for-our-time/): I think you might agree that we are living in interesting times. But while these times are monumentally significant for the future of humanity, they are also stressful and painful to many of us. It can be easy to get lost in anger, fear, despair, and anxiety, and lose our focus on what’s important. An unnamed Elder of the Hopi Nation in Oraibi, Arizona, shared the following prophecy or teaching about the current times: “You have been telling people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour. And there […] - [Will I Lose Control Under Hypnosis? Understanding Awareness and Free Will](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/will-i-lose-control-under-hypnosis/): One of the most common questions people ask before trying hypnotherapy is, “Will I lose control?” This concern is completely understandable, but it is based on a misunderstanding of what hypnosis actually is and a belief that through hypnosis grants someone mysterious power over another. The truth, however, is that you are always in control during hypnosis. What Control Looks Like in Hypnosis Hypnosis is a state of focused attention, not unconsciousness (or sleep). While in hypnosis, you can hear everything being said, you can speak, move, or ask questions, you can reject any suggestions that don’t feel right, and you […] - [Healing from Rejection](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/healing-from-rejection/): Rejection is never easy. Whether it’s a missed promotion, a failed relationship, or a creative project turned down, it can shake our confidence and trigger self-doubt. But here’s the truth: rejection does not define your worth. Instead, what can be a defining trait is your emotional resiliency—the ability to recover and grow after life’s setbacks, and that is a skill that can be nurtured. I want to share practical strategies including some therapeutic tools to cope with rejection. Why Rejection Hurts So Much Studies show that emotional rejection activates the same brain regions as physical pain. This explains why rejection can […] - [Is Hypnosis Safe? Addressing Common Fears and Misconceptions](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/is-hypnosis-safe-addressing-common-fears-and-misconceptions/): Many people are curious about hypnosis but worry about safety due to movies or stage shows. These portrayals don’t reflect clinical hypnotherapy. Can You Lose Control in Hypnosis? No. You remain conscious and in control the entire time. Hypnosis enhances focus and connects you with deeper parts of your awareness, but it does not make you unconscious or remove free will. You cannot be hypnotized to do anything that goes against your values. Can You Get Stuck in Hypnosis? No. This is a myth. You can no more get stuck in a hypnotic trance than you can get stuck in a […] - [How Does Hypnotherapy Work? Understanding the Mind-Body Connection](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/how-does-hypnotherapy-work/): Why Change Can Feel So Hard Many people know what they want to change — but struggle with how. That’s because most habits and emotional reactions (in fact, more than 90% of our daily behavior) are driven by the subconscious mind, not conscious logic. So when a person makes a conscious decision to create change, the subconscious script ultimately overrides that decision. Hypnotherapy goes beyond the conscious filter and works at the deeper level. The Role of the Subconscious Mind The subconscious mind stores habits and automatic behaviors, emotional responses, beliefs about self-worth, and learned coping mechanisms. Its goal is to […] - [Dealing With Intense Stress](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/dealing-with-intense-stress/): Many of us find life extremely stressful at the moment. And while some stress is a normal part of life, intense stress can create significant disruptions. It can seem overwhelming and relentless, making us feel as if we are stuck in permanent survival mode. This can lead to insomnia, loss of focus, a feeling of hopelessness, and difficulty in completing even small tasks. If you’re experiencing this kind of stress, you’re definitely not alone. The good news is that there are ways to work with stress instead of fighting it. The Impact of Intense Stress When we are anxious or stressed, […] - [Compassion: Weakness or Power?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/compassion-weakness-or-power/): Our world often rewards toughness, speed, and self-interest, and when these are valued above all, compassion can look suspiciously like a flaw. It’s sometimes labeled as softness, hesitation, or emotional vulnerability—things we’re told will slow us down or leave us exposed. But is compassion really a weakness, or is it one of the most underestimated forms of power we have? Why Compassion May Be Mistaken for Weakness Compassion asks us to notice suffering—our own and that of others’—and respond with care. That response can involve listening instead of arguing, forgiving instead of retaliating, and helping when there’s no obvious reward. From […] - [What Is Hypnosis? A Clear Explanation of How Hypnotherapy Works](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/what-is-hypnosis/): What Is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness that allows the mind to become more open to positive change. Despite common myths, hypnosis is not mind control, sleep, or unconsciousness. In fact, most people experience hypnosis naturally every day — while driving, daydreaming, or becoming absorbed in a book or movie. Hypnotherapy uses this state intentionally to help people work with habits, emotions, beliefs, and patterns stored in the subconscious mind. In hypnosis, the brainwave frequency shifts from the Beta wave (alert) to Alpha (light trance) to Theta (deeper trance) to Delta (deepest state). This shift can allow […] - [The Power of 1 - Year 2026](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/power-of-year-1-2026/): In numerology, numbers carry symbolic energy that reflects patterns of growth, change, and intention. As we step into the New Year, let’s look at the numerology of 2026 to understand the overarching themes lying ahead. The number of the year is determined by adding all the digits of the year until they are reduced to one digit: 2+0+2+6=10 and 1+0=1. 2025, the year we leave behind, led us through the completion of a nine-year cycle that began in 2017. 2026 is year 1 of the next nine-year cycle. So what does year 1 mean? The Meaning of 1 The number 1 […] - [5 Things Worth Celebrating](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/five-things-worth-celebrating/): For many people, the end of the year brings with it a busy holiday season.  When life moves fast, and we spend our energy chasing goals, juggling responsibilities, and pushing ourselves towards success, holidays give us an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and appreciate what we value in our lives. Most of the time, it is the social or religious holidays that form the occasions for the celebrations. But today, I invite you to celebrate yourself just because there are things about you that are worth acknowledging. You don’t need a promotion, a milestone birthday, or a dramatic life event to […] - [Is It Bad to Have High Standards?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/is-it-bad-to-have-high-standards/): Have you ever been accused of holding your life standards or your relationship standards too high? And if you have, is it beneficial to lower your standards so that you won’t be disappointed? In other words, are you hurting yourself when you set certain expectations about a partner or a job, and do not compromise on those expectations? When the world tells us to “settle,” having high standards can feel like both a blessing and a curse. People might label you as “too picky” or “unrealistic,” but that may be entirely untrue. In the words of Vincent Tinto, one of my […] - [Dealing with Loneliness](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/dealing-with-loneliness/): Do you ever feel lonely? Too many people do. In fact, loneliness is often called a “silent epidemic.” It is not so much about being physically alone, but about feeling disconnected, unseen, or unsupported, even when surrounded by others. We live in a world that is more connected than ever through technology. However, many people experience profound feelings of isolation. When we understand the impact of loneliness and learn how to navigate through it, we can take steps toward greater connection, wholeness, and well-being. The Impact of Loneliness Loneliness can affect all aspects of life: Finding Connection While loneliness can feel […] - [Trust in Relationships](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/trust-in-relationships/): Do you feel safe and comfortable in one-on-one interactions with people in your life or do you hold people at arm’s length? You’d probably say that it depends on the person and the relationship. And you’d be right. The amount of trust we give others can fluctuate. We engage in different types of relationships in our lives, but in all of them, it is the level of trust between people that determines how open and vulnerable we allow ourselves to be. Trust forms the foundation of every healthy relationship and is the thread that holds us together. Whether it’s between friends, […] - [7 Ways to Boost Your Mood](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/7-ways-to-boost-your-mood/): Human life can be a bit stressful, so if you find yourself being overwhelmed by the events happening on the world stage or by things taking place within your close circle, you are not alone. Between the fast pace and digital overstimulation of this technological age, it is no surprise that our moods can be easily affected. Of course, emotional ups and downs are a normal part of living, but we don’t have to be at their mercy. Being able to mitigate mood swings and unhealthy emotions is important for our well-being. Fortunately, there are natural ways to lift your spirits […] - [Dealing With Sadness](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/dealing-with-sadness/): At times, life throws a lot our way, forcing us to experience a gamut of emotions. Understanding and navigating them is important for our mental health. Sadness is a common yet significant human emotion. It signals that something that matters to us may be lost or appears affected in a negative way. Sadness is often misunderstood as weakness or something to be suppressed. But it’s actually a sign of depth — of caring, of connection, of having lived. Sadness can range in intensity or duration depending on its triggers and our ability to release it. Momentary – Sometimes sadness is very […] - [End-of-Life Care and Hypnosis](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/end-of-life-care-and-hypnosis/): There are few common truths we still share on this planet. One of them is that our life is short, and that it has a beginning that we tend to love and an ending that we tend to fear. Regardless of our feelings about these two events, however, they are both powerful spiritual rites that can evoke complex emotions for all involved. In this blog, I want to talk about the process of leaving the planet and the ways in which hypnosis can be helpful during that time. Just like the birthing process, the end-of-life experience is profoundly personal and emotional. […] - [Hypnosis: 5 Benefits Beyond Therapy](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/hypnosis-5-benefits-beyond-therapy/): As a hypnotherapist, I use hypnosis to help people create personal and behavioral transformations. Often, we focus on such issues as phobias, addictions, anxiety, or self-sabotage. However, while hypnosis is a powerful clinical tool, it can enhance everyday life in ways that go far beyond conventional therapy. Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness—similar to being completely absorbed in a book, movie, or daydream. You’re not asleep, unconscious, or under anyone’s control. Instead, you’re in a heightened state of concentration where your mind becomes more open to suggestion, creativity, and insight. This state creates a perfect doorway to inner wisdom […] - [Hypnotherapy and Addiction](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/hypnotherapy-and-addiction/): Addiction is a complex and often overwhelming condition that affects people all around the world. Addictions can be divided into two types – physical or behavioral, with physical addictions typically referring to various ingested substances, such as alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, opioids, etc., and behavioral addictions typically referring to behaviors or experiences, such as gambling, sex, pornography, shopping, food, gambling, technology, etc. While the paths that lead people to addictions or the extent to which they are susceptible to them may differ, ultimately all addictions provide two things – an escape from pain and a pursuit of pleasure. When individuals wish […] - [The internal guidance system](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/the-internal-guidance-system/): When we begin to take ownership of our lives, we often start by shifting the center of gravity from external advice to internal guidance. In other words, we start to connect with our own navigation system, seeking wisdom that is designed specifically for us. Navigating life with an internal “GPS,” opens individuals to the information that comes directly from the Source, and today I want to look at what that guidance system looks like and how it can be accessed. Internal guidance can come through in many ways, but here are just a few: Synchronicities Synchronicities are highly-meaningful events that occur […] - [Who Makes Your Decisions?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/who-makes-your-decisions/): Often when life presents us with decision-making opportunities, we find ourselves lost, unable to choose the right path to follow. In those moments, we look for guidance or advice. Who do you lean on to gain clarity at such times? Is it internal guidance or external influences that dictate your outcomes? Do you seek external direction from family, friends, or other authority sources or do you seek other ways to come to a decision? Whether it’s choosing a career, forming relationships, or shaping your identity, understanding where your motivations come from can profoundly impact your journey. This blog explores these two […] - [Five gifts](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/the-gifts-we-give-each-other/): As we approach the end of another holiday season and another year, many of us exchange gifts with people who are important to us. Most of the time, the gifts we give are material and practical and perhaps even suitable to this specific season. But the nature of gift-giving goes beyond these material boundaries. In fact, often true gifts are not things we can put in a box. Today, I invite you to think about the boundless gifts we can give each other. Here are five gifts that everyone would welcome: The gift of attention Human beings are social creatures. Even […] - [Cycle of rebirth](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/cycle-of-rebirth/): With my birthday fast approaching, I was reflecting on how we go through each year of life, with our birthdays delineating the completion of the old cycle and the start of the new one. Of course we can also view our experience as simply running in circles, reliving and repeating the same old patterns in the same old ways. In other words, we may stay the same as we spin on the merry-go-round of life or evolve in the never-ending quest for expanded awareness. The debate about whether human nature can change is on-going. For example, the phrase “boys will be […] - [Can We Avoid Life's Challenges?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/can-we-avoid-lifes-challenges/):   Challenges are an inevitable part of human experience. They simply are. Nobody gets a challenge-free life pass, and our ability to feel joy and peace does not depend on the absence of bumps on the road. Challenges are built into the fabric of human life. They add spice to what would otherwise be a bland existence. And while they don’t have to be huge, they do have to be present for this life to have meaning. A challenge is not a prerequisite for all life in creation, but it is a pre-requisite for a human life. So here we are […] - [Spirit Guides](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/spirit-guides/):   In the last blog, we talked about our planet’s nature being part of the human support system and the ways that it nourishes, nurtures, and uplifts humans. In this blog, we will look at another component of this support team – spirit guides. The concept of spirit guides has fascinated people across cultures and ages. Spirit guides are often seen as benevolent entities or energies that assist us on our journey through life. Many regression clients ask if they have a guide assigned to them, wanting for it to be identified by name. The fact that we question having guides […] - [Breakdown or Breakthrough?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/breakdown-or-breakthrough/): All of us get sick every once in a while since health challenges have so far been an inevitable part of the human experience. When our health fails, our bodies suddenly become fragile, and the routines and plans we’ve made unravel. Physically, we might endure pain and discomfort. Emotionally, we may grapple with fear, anger, and grief as we confront our limitations. Mentally, we may experience frustration and overwhelm while managing out symptoms and making adjustments to our daily responsibilities. Illness is usually not welcomed by anyone, but especially not by people who put a special effort into self-care. For those […] - [The Five Offerings of Nature](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/the-five-offerings-of-nature/): Whenever we decide to create a change, we usually attempt to make it happen all on our own. Most of us in the Western world learn that whatever success we achieve in life is entirely up to us. We are considered to be independent, self-contained agents that operate in a creative vacuum. But this thinking is fundamentally flawed because in reality, we do not exist in a vacuum. We are never alone, and nothing we do is independent or self-contained. We are cocooned in a network of strands that are all available to support us along the way IF we choose […] - [Five Reasons for Fear of Success](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/five-reasons-for-fear-of-success/): Success is something that all of us consciously desire. It promises us fulfilled dreams and social validation. Yet underneath, at a subconscious level, sometimes lies the fear of it. This paradox affects many people, sabotaging ambitions and hindering progress. Why does that happen? Why can humans be so apprehensive about achieving the goals they set for themselves? Fear of the unknown One of the primary reasons behind our fear of success is fear of the unknown. We like all that is known or familiar, and we fear all that is unknown or uncertain. And even though success can promise us the […] - [Powerful or Power Filled?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/powerful-or-power-filled/): Are you powerful or power-filled? All of us have to deal with power or its lack throughout our lives. But what is our view of power? What do we know about it and how do we relate to it? How much power do we think we possess, and when we give it away, how can we reclaim it? Power can be defined as the ability to do something or the ability to influence people and circumstances. In this blog, I want to focus on how we view this ability. I recently heard someone use two terms – “powerful” and “power-filled” – […] - [3 Truths About Hypnotherapy and Behavioral Change](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/3-truths-about-hypnotherapy-and-behavioral-change/): Three truths about hypnotherapy and behavioral change While hypnosis itself is an ancient tool, with its roots going back to tribal shamanic practices, hypnotherapy as a modern healing approach is relatively new. Hypnosis itself and the use of hypnosis for personal improvement and transformation leave many people unsure of what to expect. I address the initial questions and concerns with potential and new clients all the time, but what most people don’t understand is the process of behavioral change, and that’s what I want to talk about today. Here are three fundamental truths about hypnotherapy and transformation: Hypnosis is a powerful […] - [3 Life Risks Worth Taking](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/3-life-risks-worth-taking/): Three Life Risks Worth Taking Life is an intricate tapestry woven with threads of choices, challenges, and opportunities. The simplicity or complexity of this tapestry’s design depends on our ability to take risks, in other words, our willingness to step into the unknown, to face uncertainty, and to embrace change. While good judgment and caution in life’s decisions are important, there are certain risks that are not only worth taking but essential for personal growth, fulfillment, and a life well-lived. Pursuing Your Passion One of the risks worth taking in life is the pursuit of one’s passion. Whether it's a career […] - [5 Signs That a Relationship is Coming to an End](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/5-signs-that-a-relationship-is-coming-to-an-end/): Relationships are a fundamental part of human life, offering companionship, support, and shared experiences. We enter into different types of relationships, but all of them can potentially contribute to our well-being and give us opportunities for personal growth. Relationships help us learn about life and about ourselves by providing the context within which we can be exposed to specific aspects of human experience, and that, after all, is the entire reason we are here. Humans have long held specific beliefs about relationships, especially when it comes to families. We believe that we have no choice in our parents or siblings, and […] - [Three ways of aligning with your higher self](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/three-ways-of-aligning-with-your-higher-self/): As we navigate the challenges of our modern world, you may be one of many people who are becoming dissatisfied with the status quo of life and are looking for deeper answers and greater meaning and fulfillment. As people seek to become spiritually awake and present, more of my clients ask me how they can align with their higher selves (or their souls).  In this blog, I will share some ways in which you can move towards greater alignment with your soul. Alternatively, when you notice these changes in your behavior, you can be sure that you are indeed allowing more […] - [New Year's Resolutions: The Paths to Transformation](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/new-years-resolutions-the-paths-to-transformation/): As the clock struck midnight on this New Year’s Eve, the world collectively ushered in a fresh start, bidding farewell to the past and embracing the possibilities of the future. This time of year is usually a time for reflection, celebration, and, for many, the crafting of New Year’s resolutions. This year promises to be especially transformational as we continue to notice and dismantle the things that are no longer aligning with our vision of how we want to experience life. This will be playing out on the global as well as the personal stages, and we are likely to see […] - [Conscious Creation: Becoming the Architect of Your Life's Transformation](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/conscious-creation-becoming-the-architect-of-your-lifes-transformation/): Life is a canvas upon which we paint our dreams, desires, and aspirations. We all strive for a meaningful and fulfilling existence, seeking happiness, success, and personal growth. Most of us put reasonable effort into reaching life goals, but ultimately we believe that achieving specific outcomes (like finding the exact job or house or relationship that we want) is a matter of chance, and that the probability of our success is about 50/50 (and sometimes less depending on the circumstances). However, creating a life that we want can be much more than a random chance, and its possibility of success can […] - [How Hypnosis Can Break the Chains of Social Anxiety](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/hypnosis-can-break-chains-social-anxiety/): Social anxiety is a psychological condition that affects many people around the world. It presents itself as a strong fear or discomfort in social situations and can have negative impact on personal and professional aspects of life, producing feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and leading to missed opportunities for personal growth. Traditional treatment options have typically included talk therapy and medications. In recent years, hypnotherapy has emerged as a holistic alternative or supplemental option for overcoming social anxiety.  This article explores how hypnosis can help individuals break free from the chains of social anxiety and regain control over their lives. Understanding […] - [Empowering Recovery: Overcoming Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with Hypnotherapy](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/traumatic-stress-disorder-hypnotherapy/): Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that arises after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, and its symptoms can severely impact an individual’s daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Traditional treatment methods, such as psychotherapy and medication, have proven effective, but all medications can have side effects and talk therapy is often a lengthy process. Therefore, such methods may not be suitable for everyone. Hypnotherapy is emerging as a complementary natural approach to PTSD treatment, offering promising results for individuals struggling with traumatic memories.  This article explores the benefits and potential mechanisms of hypnotherapy in assisting individuals to overcome Post-Traumatic […] - [Harnessing the Quantum Field: Unlocking the Potential of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique for Empowerment and Self-Healing](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/unlocking-the-potential-of-quantum-healing-hypnosis-technique/): In recent years, more and more people have become interested in healing methods outside of traditional medicine. One technique that has become popular is called Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), which was created by a hypnotherapist Dolores Cannon.  QHHT combines a hypnotic regression into past lives with a conversation with the person’s higher self or soul. The session focuses on expanding awareness, increasing self-knowledge, and helping people heal and change for the better. This article discusses the structure of a QHHT session and looks at the benefits of QHHT for healing and personal transformation.  What is Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT)? […] - [Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: A Path to Personal Transformation and Growth with Hypnotherapy and Coaching](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/personal-transformation-growth-hypnotherapy-coaching/): Our subconscious minds are databanks of beliefs and experiences that shape most of our perceptions and behaviors. Some of these beliefs can be empowering, propelling us toward success and fulfillment. However, others can be limiting, holding us back from reaching our full potential. These limiting beliefs often stem from unresolved experiences or traumas in our past. Fortunately, powerful hypnotherapy and coaching techniques can help us release these deep-rooted beliefs and break free from their constraints. This blog looks at how hypnotherapy in combination with coaching can enable individuals to confront their past, release emotional baggage, and embrace positive transformation.  Understanding Limiting […] - [Unlocking Your Potential: Achieving Personal Growth Through Hypnotherapy](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/achieving-personal-growth-hypnotherapy/): In our quickly-transforming world, personal growth and self-improvement have become significant priorities for many individuals. The pursuit of unlocking our potential and living our best lives is a constant journey. While there are numerous methods and practices available to support personal growth, one approach that stands out is hypnotherapy. In this blog, I will delve into the transformative power of hypnotherapy and how it can help you unlock your potential and achieve personal growth. Understanding Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that utilizes hypnosis to access the subconscious mind. This involves inducing a relaxed state of heightened focus, where the individual […] - [Out of the Darkness: How Hypnotherapy and Spiritual Coaching Can Guide Us Through the Dark Night of the Soul](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/hypnotherapy-spiritual-coaching-the-dark-night-soul/): The human experience is filled with ups and downs, joys and challenges, and moments of light and darkness. Sometimes, we find ourselves in a state of deep turmoil, often referred to as the “dark night of the soul.” These are times of transition, times that have the potential for a great shift, but during these periods we may feel lost, overwhelmed, and disconnected from our true selves. In this article, I will share two therapeutic practices – hypnotherapy and spiritual coaching and talk about how in combination they can guide us out of darkness, helping us heal, rediscover our inner strength, […] - [Hypnosis for Weight Loss - Does it Work?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/hypnosis-for-weight-loss/): Weight loss is a common goal for many individuals, and the market is flooded with various methods and techniques claiming to offer quick and effective results.

Often associated with stage shows and mind control, it is shrouded in myths and misconceptions. However, once we get past the theatrics, hypnosis is a legitimate and powerful tool that can be successfully used for therapeutic purposes in support of personal growth and well-being. In this blog, I want to demystify hypnotherapy by separating fact from fiction, allowing you to gain a clearer understanding of this powerful tool for transformation. What is Hypnotherapy?

Let’s dive into the realm of spiritual coaching to uncover its incredible benefits.  What is spiritual coaching? Spiritual coaching is the process of learning and realignment, in which a person can expand awareness of self and the greater reality while letting go of outdated, limiting beliefs and perceptions. A spiritual coach is a guide and mentor who helps individuals explore and develop their spiritual beliefs, practices, and experiences. A coach supports, teaches, guides, and provides the tools for deepening […] - [Lucid Dreaming: An Introduction to the World of Conscious Dreaming](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/lucid-dreaming-an-introduction-to-the-world-of-conscious-dreaming/): Lucid dreaming is a phenomenon that has fascinated humans for centuries. You may have even asked yourself, “Is lucid dreaming real?” And indeed it is. Lucid dreaming is a state of awareness that allows us to gain some control of our dreams and discover a new realm of possibilities.  The interest in exploring this unique state of consciousness has been growing because not only does it offer the opportunity for incredible experiences, but it can also be a powerful tool for exploring one’s thinking and fostering personal growth.  This guide will offer a few techniques and approaches that can help you […] - [Analyzing Dreams and Their Meanings](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/analyzing-dreams-and-their-meanings/): Dreams have fascinated humans and have been analyzed by them for centuries. While dreams might seem to be meaningless or merely entertaining, resulting from a random firing of neurons in the brain , they reveal important information about our subconscious thinking and give us powerful insights into potentials for personal growth.  Dreams carry messages from our subconscious mind and higher consciousness down to our conscious awareness. Once we get beyond the conscious mind, communication stops being linear. It doesn’t flow in sentences built out of words. It comes through stories that speak with emotions, associations, and symbols. That’s what some of […] - [Inside a hypnotherapy session: Engaging subconscious mind to create transformation](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/inside-a-hypnotherapy-session-engaging-subconscious-mind-to-create-transformation/): A hypnotic state is a state of trance in which the body relaxes, and the mind becomes hyperfocused. This allows the conscious mind to be put at peace so that the subconscious mind is accessed. A hypnotic state is a safe way of creating transformation and a natural way of being. We go in and out of trance naturally multiple times a day, the two most common instances being when we fall asleep and when we wake up. Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that uses hypnosis in order to bypass conscious thinking and go directly to the root of behaviors, […] - [How Past Life Regression Works: Accessing Past Life Experiences with Hypnosis](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/how-past-life-regression-works-accessing-past-life-experiences/): Have you ever felt deeply familiar with a place or person you’ve never met? Have you had a dream that feels more like a memory than a figment of your imagination? Have you experienced fears that seem strange and come out of nowhere? All of these might be pointing to experiences you have had prior to this physical life.  The concept of past lives and reincarnation has been explored for centuries, and many people believe that our souls live multiple lives, both before and after the current one.  Past life regression is a hypnosis technique that  helps individuals access experiences from […] - [7 Common Hypnosis Myths and Misconceptions(Part2)](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/7-common-hypnosis-myths-and-misconceptionspart2/): In the first part of this article we explored seven myths and misconceptions about hypnosis, such as whether hypnosis is a dangerous sleep state, in which weak-minded people are controlled and left with negative side-effects. Having set those things straight, here are seven more myths about hypnosis: 1. Hypnosis is a Magical Power Hypnosis is not a magical power. Hypnotherapy uses a scientific understanding of how human behaviors are shaped and how conscious and subconscious minds are developed to help people change their thinking and behaviors positively. Hypnosis produces a trance that most human beings experience naturally on a daily basis […] - [7 Common Hypnosis Myths and Misconceptions(Part1)](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/hypnosis-myths-and-misconceptions/): Hypnosis has long been a widely recognized and respected therapeutic tool for a wide range of issues. However, many myths and misconceptions still surround hypnosis when it is used within a therapeutic setting. These misconceptions often lead to fear, skepticism, and misunderstandings about the practice of hypnosis, and as a practicing certified hypnotherapist, I address these with almost every new client.  So let’s explore the most common myths and misconceptions surrounding hypnosis, separating fact from fiction. 1. Hypnosis is Mind Control: One of the most common misguided beliefs about hypnosis is that it is a form of mind control. This is […] - [5 Surprising Benefits of Hypnotherapy for Your Health](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/benefits-of-hypnotherapy/): “Hypnosis is like falling asleep, and a hypnotist can make you do things against your will.” These are often the most common ideas about hypnosis that are being promoted in movies and on television. That hypnosis can be used to make someone commit a crime, disclose a secret, or even fall in love are highly erroneous assumptions about the use of hypnosis. Hypnotherapy (the therapeutic use of hypnosis) is a very effective modality that uses the power of suggestion to bring about positive changes in mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Positive suggestions given to people in a state of trance (or […] - [What’s wiser – your head or your heart?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/whats-wiser-your-head-or-your-heart/): Photo by Corey Dupree: https://www.pexels.com/photo/calm-woman-meditating-on-beach-6591291/ When making important decisions, we typically try to think through all the options, straining our brains to come up with the best solutions. In the process, we often stress, overthink, and become anxious. We rely on our heads to figure everything out. But in doing that, we make a grave error because our brains are not everything they are cracked up to be We have been told that all our intelligence resides in the brain, but that is not accurate. The entire human body is a system of intelligence that communicates with us all the time. […] - [How do you feel about the dark?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/how-do-you-feel-about-the-dark/): Photo by Mohan Reddy from Pexels How do you feel about the dark? Do you find it comforting or distressing? Wherever we live on this planet, each year we experience a period of colder temperatures and longer periods of darkness. During that time, nature slows down its growth, sheds its clothing, and goes to sleep. People that live in harmony with nature, tend to follow its cues in their own lives, but the rest of us find this time of extended darkness difficult. To help us get through the winter, it may be helpful to understand the symbolism of darkness, which […] - [Astrology and your life](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/astrology-and-your-life/): This month I asked my friend, archetypal astrologer Justin Crockett Elzie to answer a few questions. Justin is an amazing astrologer, and I refer many of my clients to him. Here is our brief interview. Justin, astrology is considered to be a science by some people and mumbo-jumbo by others. What is your view on it?nWell, astrology has been around for thousands of years, and it was developed as a science in India and the Middle East long before the building of the pyramids or the birth of Christ or Buddha. In the 2nd and 3rd millennia BC, the ancient Babylonians […] - [Men, rise!](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/men-rise/): Photo by Tatiana Syrikova: https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-man-hugging-child-3933080/ A long, long time ago, when the light of human consciousness was still undimmed, there existed a balance between genders. The males and females on this planet intuitively knew their part in the plan (though not necessarily in the way we think of gender roles today). Women were the portals of life and the carriers of spiritual wisdom and guidance, and men were the guardians and protectors. The work of women was truly sacred. Men sought women’s guidance in all decision-making, and in return, they created a safe place for women to do their work. Today […] - [Is joy overrated?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/is-joy-overrated/): Our lives so often consist of a series of tasks, obligations, deadlines, and responsibilities, that all we can do is go from one task to another, checking off the accomplishments on the perpetual to-do list. Between that and the current world environment, is it any wonder that we experience stress and weariness as we go about our daily routines? Most of us don’t take the time or make the effort to find joy. Some consider joy frivolous and unnecessary, believing that responsible adults just need to push through and get things done. We are even taught that hardships and suffering build […] - [Coming into alignment](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/coming-into-alignment/): Photo by ,Andrew Karn on ,Unsplash In my last blog, I talked about facing the times when nothing seems to be working. I wrote it because I found myself in a period of my life when I seemingly hit a wall. One of the steps I suggested in my blog was relaxing and reflecting on one’s path. That is precisely what I did, and today, I want to share my experience. Once I calmed my mind and began to reflect, I realized that it was time to make the shift that I had been resisting for years. I have been on […] - [3 things to do when nothing seems to work](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/3-things-to-do-when-nothing-seems-to-work/): Photo by S Migaj: https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-person-sitting-on-wooden-planks-across-the-lake-scenery-747964/ There are times in our lives when things just seem to come to a standstill or even worse – go backward, when it appears that all the plans we have made fall apart, and everything we worked hard for does not pay off. We plan things out, we take all the right steps, yet the path seems to be blocked – people back out, technology breaks, weather interferes, relationships end, jobs spit us out, and so on. During these times, we tend to cry out, “Why me?” or “What did I do wrong?” At such times […] - [3 steps toward overcoming anxious thoughts](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/3-steps-toward-overcoming-anxious-thoughts/): Photo by Eugene Capon: ,https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-punching-in-the-air-while-in-vr-goggles-1261820/ Do you ever lose yourself in daydreams that feel more like nightmares because they take you to the worst possible outcomes of each imagined situation? For example, you think of your child walking home from school and imagine him or her being hit by a car; you think of your bank account balance becoming lower, and you imagine yourself sleeping homeless on the street; you consider going out to an event with some friends and imagine people pointing and sniggering at you. These are examples of anxious thoughts that pull us into a fear-based version of […] - [What does your body say?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/what-does-your-body-say/): Photo by Raphael Brasileiro: https://www.pexels.com/photo/brown-eye-of-anonymous-person-4346583/ People often ask me to help them with physical and emotional concerns related to their bodies. They are unhappy with the way they feel or how they look. They usually say, “I know all the right things to do; I am just not doing them.” They generally hope that hypnosis will force them (so to speak) to do the things they have been told are right – a specific diet or exercise routine, etc. However, my question to them (when they are ready for it) is what does your body say to you about all of […] - [5 characteristics of a healthy relationship](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/5-characteristics-of-a-healthy-relationship/): Photo source: Pexels Unless you live in total isolation, you are probably involved in a relationship – with a parent, a sibling, a friend, a life partner, or a work partner. As social beings, we crave relationships, but it doesn’t mean that they are always balanced. If you are not sure whether your relationship is healthy, see if the characteristics of a healthy relationship listed below reflect your experience. Identity In a healthy relationship, both partners have their own identities. They know who they are – their own likes, dislikes, needs, deal-breakers. They understand what feeds their soul and how they […] - [5 ways to handle these stressful times](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/5-ways-to-handle-these-stressful-times/): Here are five simple ways that can help you find your balance: We live in a time of strong conflict energy that affects everything from our international relations to national politics to interpersonal interactions. And all of this in turn affects our internal world. Those of us that are more sensitive to the energy around us may find the world overwhelming, but even not the most empathic may have difficulty navigating the world that has so much fear, animosity, and conflict floating around. We will come out of this eventually, but for now, we need to know how to function during […] - [Is it time to let go?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/is-it-time-to-let-go/): Photo by Wesley Carvalho from Pexels If you haven’t had a chance to watch the new animated movie Encanto with music by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Moana, Hamilton), do it as soon as you can. It tells a deeply powerful story of a family that has been given a magical house and individual magical gifts in the wake of a tragedy experienced by the family’s grandmother when she was young. Years later, when the magical house begins to crumble, one of the granddaughters attempts to figure out what is causing the magic to go away. The mystery is eventually solved as the song […] - [The gifts we give ourselves](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/the-gifts-we-give-ourselves/): Photo by Monica Turlui from Pexels For most of the planet, the end of a calendar year is a season for gift-giving. While the occasions may vary, the tradition of gifting is so prevalent that many industries rely on the end of the year for the bulk of their annual profits. This pursuit of profit has led corporations to become strong influencers of public behavior, and many people now view the holiday season as overly commercial. But let’s take it back to the basics and see what gift-giving is really about. In other words, why do we give gifts? Gifts carry […] - [Do you see the ice moving?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/do-you-see-the-ice-moving/): Lake Baikal. Photo by Jay Tindall In the last blog, I mentioned that our planet is going into ascension. If that idea is making you laugh because it doesn’t look like anything is getting better, it’s alright. It’s not supposed to look like it yet. But if everything feels slightly off and not “normal,” then you may be sensing that we are in transition. Deep within, our collective memories begin to awaken, and the whispers of ancient wisdom begin to speak within our hearts, “You are much more than this body or even this mind. Your life is more than this […] - [Are we going to hell in a handbasket?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/are-we-going-to-hell-in-a-handbasket/): The last few years have stirred up a lot of tension, anger, fear, and uncertainty about the future. Some people remain hopeful, but many experience despair about the darkness of the times. Disease, discontent, breakdown of values – it all seems hopeless. What is really going on? Is the human civilization nearing a collapse? Is it time to panic? Being one of the people who hold hope and Light, I invite you to consider the possibility that instead of nearing the end, our planet is going through an unprecedented positive time in human history – something that indeed has never happened […] - [Real voices, real stories](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/real-voices-real-stories/): Potential clients often ask me if my sessions are guaranteed to create change. While I always guarantee my effort, I can never guarantee the clients’ results for the simple reason that each soul has free will, and I cannot override its decisions even with my best intentions. However, when I’m asked if I see change as a result of this work, the answer is “absolutely.” During the last few months, three of my former clients synchronistically reached out to me to share the positive changes they were experiencing after their sessions. I asked if they would be willing to share their […] - [A mid-life crisis?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/a-mid-life-crisis/): Image by Pixource from Pixabay What comes to mind when you hear the words “mid-life crisis”? If it makes you think of people having affairs and buying flashy cars, you are not alone. A major change in the middle of one’s life is often seen as a breakdown of order. We are afraid of being afflicted by the “mid-life crisis impediment,” and if we find ourselves craving change, our first impulse is to maintain things the way they are. Many people look at this need for change as something that should be subdued and overcome so the person can return to […] - [Is there danger in hypnotic regressions?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/is-there-danger-in-hypnotic-regressions/): Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay As a hypnotherapist, I hear many people sharing their apprehension and even fear about hypnosis – everything from losing control and looking ridiculous to revealing information that they wish to keep private or re-experiencing pain and trauma that might ruin their lives. More than anything, people are concerned about uncovering information that will paralyze them with fear. Most of the worries come from a basic misunderstanding of hypnosis – how it works and its purpose, and so I spend a lot of time educating people and putting their minds at ease. Hypnosis has long been […] - [Two steps forward, one step back](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/two-steps-forward-one-step-back/): If you have ever tried to accomplish something in your life, you have probably experienced days when it seems like nothing goes right. In fact, it may seem like all the progress you have carefully made is being unraveled right before your eyes. On such days, it might even feel like you are moving backward instead of forward, and all the hard-earned progress that you have put sweat and tears into simply begins to disappear. Days like that can be frustrating and discouraging. They can make us question our goals, our path, and even our ability to succeed. Our perceptions, though, […] - [Women - spiritual guardians of humanity](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/women-spiritual-guardians-of-humanity/): Nikki Kamalu and Captain Kala Tanaka of the Polynesian Voyaging Society Most countries dedicate one day a year to celebrating mothers and women. In the US, this happens in May, so I decided to dedicate this blog to the recognition of women – the mothers of this planet. Women are a portal of humanity. They offer their bodies as a connection between the spiritual and physical worlds, guiding humans into existence. They are the first to welcome all new arrivals to the planet, and they are the first to feed, comfort, and nurture young humans as they begin their journey through […] - [5 reasons you may be holding on to emotional pain](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/5-reasons-you-may-be-holding-on-to-emotional-pain/): Photo by Sora Shimazaki from Pexels Past challenges and trauma often leave us in emotional pain that we carry around for years. Letting go of such pain is possible, so why do we hold on to it instead? Below are five reasons why that may be the case: 1. We may keep our emotional pain because it is familiar to us. It is a “known.” We crave knowns in our life because they give us a sense of stability and order. They allow us to predict what’s coming around the corner (even if it’s unpleasant), and we feel much better when […] - [What angers you?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/what-angers-you/): Photo by Anastasia Popova from Pexels Anger is one of the most common human emotions that every person is likely to feel at one point or another. People come to me looking for help with anger when it has become a significant obstacle in their lives. Many feel that anger is a negative emotion that results in people with anger issues being labeled as bad. So when potential clients reach out to me, all they want is to suppress anger. But that is not the approach I take. In and of themselves, emotions are neither bad nor good; they just are, […] - [The meaning of synchronicity](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/the-meaning-of-synchronicity/): Photo by Prateek Katyal from Pexels You may have heard people talking about synchronicities and wondered why those don’t happen to you or, perhaps, you’ve nodded with a smile. So for those that may not know what these people are talking about, let’s look into synchronicities – what they mean and how they present themselves. The concept of synchronicity was first developed by Carl Yung who defined it as an event where two seemingly unrelated things accidentally happen together and appear to be meaningfully related. In recent decades, the word synchronicity has become heavily imbued with a spiritual meaning, in which […] - [Creating life with intention](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/creating-life-with-intention/): Photo by Sharon McCutcheon from Pexels New beginnings are associated with new expectations and new hopes. They often uplift us and give us a promise of positive change. Many of us view the start of a new year as a new cycle of life that brings potential for a brighter tomorrow. In fact, this time of year is so powerful that it inspires many of us to make resolutions for change. Of course, once the moment of inspiration passes and daily reality sets in, our commitment to the change often dissipates as well, and we find ourselves breaking the New Year’s […] - [Have you been feeling intense emotions?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/have-you-been-feeling-intense-emotions/): Photo by Nathan Cowley from Pexels New beginnings are associated with new expectations and new hopes.

Some people find the idea of looking into past lives laughable (“clearly there is no evidence of people living more than once”); others find it scary (“what if I discover that I was a monster or that I died a horrible death”); others use the journey to satisfy their curiosity (“I wonder what kind of experiences I’ve had”); and still others seek to experience a profound healing and shift in their current life.  A past life journey is just one type of a regression that a person can experience. Quantum Healing Hypnosis […] - [Living in uncertainty](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/living-in-uncertainty/): The world seems to be a very uncertain place sometimes. Modern civilization offers more mobility, more global connection, and more personal and professional choices, but at the same time, people experience financial instability, professional doubt, and personal isolation. We can choose to live the life we want, but how many of us fear to take the necessary steps? Of course some uncertainty has been in human life throughout the ages, but it has never been welcome, especially in the past when the course of a person’s life was charted from birth. Humans want to know what’s ahead and plan for it. […] - [Myths about hypnosis](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/myths-about-hypnosis/): What’s your first reaction when someone mentions hypnosis – uncertainty? apprehension? Many people have misconceptions about hypnosis and this creates unhelpful fears and concerns. So I’d like to address some hypnosis myths: Myth 1: A hypnotist has a superpower against which I am helpless. He or she can hypnotize me with just one word or look. You are likely to believe this if your idea of a hypnotherapist comes from the movie Now You See Me, where illusionists put people into a deep trance with a simple touch. While hypnotherapists do use language in an intentional way and may at times use basic touch […] - [Healing intergenerational trauma](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/healing-intergenerational-trauma/): Are we responsible for “the sins of our fathers” (or, more accurately, for the events that happened before our time)? No. But are we affected by them? Yes, and in more ways than we know. Contrary to the popular belief, we do not come into this life as blank slates. Those that have been around very small children know that little kids have distinct personalities. And if we come in with a personality, what else do we bring with us? All life events leave an energetic imprint on our psyche, and what we know about energy is that it cannot be […] - [Shift happens!](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/shift-happens/): Shift happens! We all know that. Sometimes, though, the stars align in such a way that the shift can be truly profound, and this year, they are aligned. It seems like sad and scary things are happening one after another, and just when we think we are climbing out of one hole, we fall into another one. And if we did not get traumatized by the death of the thousands, we were likely traumatized by the death of one. This year is relentless. It may appear almost cruel in the amount of worry, anxiety, tension, frustration, anger, fear, and uncertainty that […] - [Love](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/love/): May 1st has been designated as a Global Day of Love. It is meant to remind us about the power of unconditional love and what we can create when we attune to it. We often talk about love, especially unconditional, but what do we really mean by it? Because love is not something we can actually see, people have different ideas about it. Some talk about love as being an action; others refer to it as a powerful feeling. Some people talk about love being omnipresent, while others insist that it is absent from the world. Some point out that there […] - [Answered prayers](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/answered-prayers/): For the past few weeks I kept thinking that a blog written at this time in human history should be especially profound. But as I was getting ready to write it, I couldn’t bring my thoughts into focus. So I asked for guidance, and sure enough, it was provided. On the day that I planned to write the blog, I fell ill with a stomach virus, and for the next few days I was turned inside out, letting go of whatever needed to be cleared. As I slept for hours in the aftermath, a persistent thought came to me in my […] - [Through duality to clarity](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/through-duality-to-clarity/): As some of you may know, this year February 2 presented a very unique date – 02/02/2020. It reads the same forward and backward, and it makes me think of a perfect reflection on the water (0202 // 2020), a reflection that is so clear that you can see what’s visible and what’s hidden. Numerologically, two represents duality, and this date is all about twos; in fact, there are two twos on the two sides of the reflection. We usually think of duality as good and evil, positive and negative, light and dark, but it might be more accurate to think of it as […] - [What is your passion?](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/what-is-your-passion/): More often than not when we talk about passion, we refer to romantic relationships. On the other hand, when it comes to our daily work, we use words like toiling, slaving away, putting bread on the table, eking out a living – phrases that denote neither passion nor even like for what we do. Of course attitudes toward doing work that fulfills us have been changing over the past 20-30 years, but most of us still find it difficult, if not frivolous, to merge the concepts of inner passion and daily work, mostly for a very simple reason – we don’t […] ## Pages - [test](https://awakenedhypnosis.com/test/): Contact Schedule a Session or Phone Consultation Need more information?
