Episode 4-What is Mindful Hypnosis? 

Mindfulness is being present without judgment. 

Hypnosis can be explained in a multitude of different ways depending on how many hypnotists you ask. 

 It is a way to decrease your active thinking mind so that you can work with the subconscious part of the mind, which holds all your beliefs, values, worries fears habits, etc. 

 To make changes we have to bypass the busy critical mind-this is where we find ourselves sabotaging behaviors or overthinking, our delusions, not delusion, in the sense of we lost our mind but believing what we believe is true that may not be. 

To create changes you need to bypass this and a few things do that.

Age. Old or young. 
Stories & Metaphors. 
Hypnosis- This is a natural way to make changes easily.

Excerpt from Mindful Hypnotherapy from Gary R Elkins, "mindful hypnotherapy is an intervention that intentionally uses hypnosis to integrate mindfulness for personal therapeutic benefits and mindfulness hypnotherapy we utilize hypnosis a powerful delivery vehicle for mindfulness. Hypnosis is a medium that enables mindfulness to be absorbed and integrated more easily, efficiently and effectively." 

How mindfulness hypnosis can help you. 

Many of the people I work with are suffering from anxiety, stress, fears, and overthinking.  Integrating mindfulness in all of the sessions helps to get out of their head, be more present so they can feel calmer, more focused, and relaxed. 

 It also helps my weight reduction clients eat more mindfully and my self-sabotaging clients..well, it really helps to put situations into perspective. 

So, before I go, listen closely and remember this ONE thing. 

Your future is a thought, your past has passed, but your now is always here. 

Be mindful-one minute at a time.
