Whatever your goals are, hypnosis can help you achieve them easily and rapidly. Many people do not realize the fantastic and immediate power of their subconscious mind. The causes of so many bad habits are rooted in memories or perceptions that are forgotten by the conscious mind, yet are retained in the subconscious. Hypnosis helps to access the subconscious mind and achieve the desired effect of change easily and quickly.
Unfortunately, many people refuse to consider hypnotherapy because of their erroneous fears and misconceptions. They may mistakenly believe that the hypnotherapist will control them, they will tell hidden secrets, or be made to do ridiculous actions. These false beliefs are often the result of Hollywood portrayals found in old vampire movies or cartoons on TV. These fears are completely unscientific and unfounded. The individual in trance is always in control and is, in fact, even more aware of his or her surroundings while in the hypnotic state.
Although hypnosis is not a panacea, there are many capacities where it has proven to be tremendously helpful. A few of these areas include memory enhancement, improving concentration, relieving insomnia, eliminating nail biting, reducing or eliminating stuttering, increasing sales, and sports achievements. However, the most common reasons for visiting a hypnotherapist are losing weight, quitting smoking, and managing stress.
Many overweight people who fail with diet programs turn to hypnosis as a safe and reliable alternative to drugs and surgery. For them, dieting never eliminated the subconscious need for excess food. It is just a form of torture they went through, until they eventually gave into their subconscious desires. So, they continuously went up and down on the scale, never really letting go of the desire for excess food.
The reasons for desiring excess food were anchored in a memory of some past emotional event that caused them to overeat for security, self-preservation, or protection. The memory of the event remained sealed in their subconscious, even as it was hidden from their waking awareness.
In a trance state, you can locate the event that triggered unwanted behaviour and change your perception about the event; thus eradicating it as a problem source. Once this is accomplished, the individual can eliminate the desire for excess food and the weight reduces easily, naturally, and stays off.
This same technique is effective for smoking cessation. Often, when an individual re-experiences the horrible experience of taking that first choking puff, and remembers the events that caused them to continue smoking, the habit is easily eliminated.
Phobias such as unreasonable fears of water, flying, driving, and claustrophobia can be easily tamed using this and similar techniques. This can frequently be accomplished in two to three sessions.
“What the mind causes, the mind can cure. Wellness begins in the mind!” Every problem has a cause, and when you eliminate the cause from the computer that we call the subconscious mind, the problem disappears.

A Cure for Test Taking Jitters
• Do you freeze when you sit for an exam?
• Does your mind go blank when you look at a test sheet?
The decision to turn a life-long interest into a career in massage therapy seemed only natural to Bob (not his real name). Bob had always worked well with his hands and all his friends said that Bob gave the best back rubs around.
Yet, once in massage therapy school, Bob’s dream became a nightmare. As his courses progressed, Bob found that the large amount of memorization required to pass the test was becoming more and more challenging for him. He saw his dream slipping away as he fought harder to master the material while his grades were increasingly dropping. He knew he had to do something fast.
Bob’s friend, also a massage therapist, shared an office with a hypnotherapist. He suggested that Bob try hypnosis for test taking anxiety. Bob agreed to give it a try.
Bob didn’t know what to expect during his first visit but the hypnotherapist quickly put him at ease and explained the process of hypnotic suggestion. Dr. Ra answered all his questions and put to rest any concerns that he had about ‘losing control’. She told him that he would, in fact, be in control of the process at all times. She explained that she would simply help him to obtain a state of deep relaxation from which he could arouse himself at any time, if necessary.
While in this expanded state of awareness, Bob’s innermost, subconscious mind would be more available to listen and accept any suggestions or ideas that he perceived to be useful or helpful. His mind would automatically reject any suggestions that went against his own personal values and beliefs.
Relaxing in a recliner, Bob quickly entered a state of light, alpha hypnosis while listening to the soothing voice of the hypnotherapist instructing him to release tension from every part of his body, bit by bit. After a few more minutes of deep relaxation, Bob was ready to receive suggestions that would help end his problems with memorization and test anxiety.
Dr. Ra had Bob mentally visualize himself in his study area, picturing his desk, books, papers and even any beverages he would normally have on hand to drink. Once fully there in the scene, Dr. Ra had Bob mentally review his study habits, suggesting that his mind would be relaxed, receptive and that he would remember fully and easily any information that he read or studied.
As Bob re-experienced each phase of his study routine in trance – reading over notes, repeating information out loud, even taking rest breaks – Dr. Ra continued to suggest that he was fully retaining all the information easily and effortlessly.
Dr. Ra further instructed Bob that when a question about the material that he was studying was put to him, either verbally or on a written test, him mind would immediately bring the information up to a conscious level, making it instantly available for full recall.
Bob was instructed to feel himself in class, taking a test. He was advised to see himself relaxed, confident, and feeling great. He was to image himself confidently answering test questions while visualizing a study period in which he had full and easy recall of the test material. He was reminded to remain relaxed, confident and assured of his success.
After fully visualizing himself confidently taking the test, Bob was instructed to see himself later receiving notice of his test results, he was directed to feel the excitement and sense of good self-esteem that came from scoring well on the test. He was asked to hear the positive comments of his teacher and the congratulations from his friends.
Once Bob had fully visualized his success, he was more certain about his ability to make his dream a reality. With a few follow-up visits and instructions for self-hypnosis reinforcement, Bob soon accomplished his goals.
Bob’s dream really did come true after all. He graduated as one of the top students of his massage therapy class, thanks to a little help – and some good advice about the benefits of hypnosis – from his friends.
If you or someone you know suffers from test-taking anxiety or trouble with studying and memorization, hypnosis might be the answer.

CHANGING UNIVERSE
10/17/2011
The Universe is changing rapidly. It is not only our world, but according to prophecy, the changes that we are moving through on this planet are also happening and affecting other solar systems and galaxies.
Surprisingly, many people have asked me recently about the upcoming 2012 shift; Do I think that we are going to be wiped out? Hollywood has taken information and spectacularized it, of course. That is their paradigm, their view of the method to make the most money from movies. It does not make what they portray true… unless you believe it and bring it into your personal world. Remember, there was too much hype about the turn of the century and there were no major catastrophes as we moved from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000.
My visions have shown me a time when things were moving smoothly; the period between the Korean and Vietnam wars. After that, things get rough as we have seen and felt. We kept overindulging while we tried to ignore the signs of stress on our bodies and the environment – the body of our Mother Earth.
At this point, we can no longer be ignorant about anything. We must activate and use our quantum consciousness with meditation, prayer, and conscious living. This means making decisions based upon a connection with your Higher Power. You can still choose to behave however you want; you just must know that you are the determiner of the outcomes of your choices.
The visions of an even brighter future await. After the (apparent) devastation, the earth emerges more beautiful and radiant than ever before, just like a newborn babe. This is because we can choose it to be so. Personally, I choose to embrace peace. I believe that the catastrophic events we are witnessing are the labor pains that are birthing a beautiful new plan of peace, forgiveness, abundance, light, and love – Most of all, love.
I believe that Infinite Angels are watching over us, gridding the earth in a protective shield that diffuses the energies so that we are not destroyed or destroy ourselves. I believe that this is part of God’s plan to help us learn how powerful we are as children of God. The Angels are part of our team, our shields and our light. Allow yourself to enter a meditative state. Be grateful and call upon them, praying ceaselessly.
Infinite Blessings from your Infinite Angels.

LEADERS
Are you a Leader? Being a leader encompasses many different facets. A leader doesn’t say, “My way or the highway.” A leader says, “How can we do this better together.” A leader says, “I’ll go first,” rather than, “Follow me.” Many times, a leader says nothing. This is one of the best kinds of leaders, one who leads by example.
Most people want all of the attention, glory, and praise that a leader gets, but they do not want to do the work or own the responsibility. Many organizations and institutions (such as government) have created schemes and processes that perpetuate the dependence of the populace upon the systems. This is unnatural and so the systems break down because they actually repress our independence to make us dependent on the system.
It is at that point that individuals might want to stand up and think for themselves to take care of themselves. There are many ways of regaining our real freedom to think, pray, and do for ourselves that do not rely on systems, organizations, or government, and that are legal, ethical, and moral. This is freedom of the soul.
You can plant a garden. Even if you only have one tomato plant in a pot on your window sill, at least it is yours and you can nurture it and see that it is good. You can use your free time to clean up your neighborhood, pick up broken glass so that the children do not cut themselves, and pick up rotting garbage so the insects don’t breed. That does not even cost you money.
It is the little things you do that make you a leader; it is the things you do that you do not wait for someone else to do for you that are moral, upright, and helpful. It is a path that you can start on today or move farther along. It is how you create a beautiful world around you - your beautiful world where all is well.
Once you make that decision, Infinite Angels will surround you and move through you to assist. You will find your world getting better and better because others will see you. You will become a leader by example.

YOU ARE VALUABLE
You are of inestimable value. You are a treasure of the Universe. Just by your presence on our lovely planet, Earth, you have value, purpose, and worth. You just need to remember this.
You need to remember, not because I or someone else has told you so, but because it is a truth in your soul. We all need to connect with our Higher-self on the soul plane. And, rather that attempting to escape this plane of Earth, we need to bring our soul energy into our daily lives, now.
With the beginning of the industrial age, we began to lose the connection of soul, of spirit. By focusing so much upon the physical, we lost sight of the non-physical. We began to pay more attention to that which we could make with our hands and less and less attention to what we could co-create with spirit.
We are coming to a point in our human evolution that will represent a crossroads. We can either get back into balance with nature and our spiritual selves or perish, literally, by our own hands – all that we have created that is now out of harmony.
The good news is that there is more spiritual help available now than ever before.
The Angels are everywhere, ready and willing to assist us in connecting with Spirit and our soul-self. You can do this wherever you are and at any time of the day or night. You can do this in a crowded subway train. Just close your eyes for a brief moment, breathe in deeply and mentally ask Archangel Michael, your Guardians, and Guides, or any Angel to help you connect to your Higher-self and your soul, which is basically one in the same.
As you breathe out and open your eyes, notice the difference in the energy surrounding you. Feel ten thousand Angels to your right; feel ten thousand angels to your left; feel ten thousand angels in front of you and behind you, ten thousand angels above you and also below you. As you move gently through your day, feel confident that you are surrounded by an infinite, uncountable number of angels that watch over you and stand ready to assist your every need with love and grace.
