Four months ago (June 2012) I announced to my email list (and blog) that I wanted to create a hypnosis TV show. And I just want to thank all of you for your support. Last month I had three great conversations. I met a hypnotherapist who’s a former radio producer who’s happy to share her … Read more

In part 1, you learned how to chat with your subconscious mind (SCM) to get to know yourself  better. That skill is useful to quit smoking, lose weight, or solve other issues through hypnosis.

At this rate, we hypnotherapists won’t need to use hypnosis to help with weight loss, because there will be a pill for every situation. 🙂 Qsymia is a combination of two drugs: a stimulant and … Read more

This post is more geared toward complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers, though the general public is welcome to read this, too. In my previous two blog posts about the health care law (July 2, 2012), I said it could increase spending on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) while decreasing costs. Today I’ll discuss a … Read more

You may know that people use hypnosis, acupuncture, sleeping pills, and even food to help with sleep. But a cell phone? I found out about this free app on Mashable.com. http://mashable.com/2012/07/11/zeo-sleep-101 Zeo Inc. (a technology company focused on sleep) just launched Sleep101 for the iPhone.
