Candid Insights into My Journey as a Hypnotherapist
I never planned to be a hypnotherapist. I just went with the flow, embraced opportunities as they came, and ended up in this incredibly fulfilling and rewarding profession!
Thirty years ago, I was a housewife in a large home with all the amenities. I had acquired everything that I was told was required to create my dream life. Still, I was unhappy, felt disconnected, and had no idea about my purpose. I had an interest in psychology, consciousness, and spirituality, but no way could I see myself working in an institution.
I wanted an independent career in which I could create a lifestyle that gave me the flexibility to take time off for travel or give myself a raise. I wanted a career that would leave a positive mark on the world.
Later, I stumbled upon hypnotherapy and exploring past lives. My own experiences with them took me deep into my higher consciousness where I could discover who I was and what I was meant to do with my life. Now, as a practicing hypnotherapist, I can provide that same enriching experience for my clients. In turn, they open my mind to vast wisdom and rich experiences.
I’m thrilled to wake up and head to my job every day. I’m thrilled to see clients come to the office with their lives in a tangle and leave with peace and purpose in their hearts.
When I realized I could gain a deeper understanding of humanity, transform lives, and create permanent positive results for people, I was hooked!
I’ve always had this feeling that I would leave a mark on the world. I wasn’t always sure how it would come about, but once I stepped into the world of hypnotherapy, the possibilities were wide open to me!
Time and again, clients would come in with dysfunctional relationships or concerned about their ever-increasing health issues. Some were addicted to cigarettes, alcohol, food, or drugs, and others wanted to understand their life purpose. At first, it felt like a huge challenge to be the one driving necessary transformations. But soon, I realized that with the techniques I had learned, along with the ones I eventually developed, my clients would show the way to their own healing and would be delighted with their rapid transformation.
It is a deep honor to play this role in the lives of so many people and to fulfill my destiny by making such a valuable difference in the world.
Your story may be similar. You, too, may know that you are capable of making a profound difference in this world and the people that inhabit it. Maybe you, too, have been searching for a pathway to start making that happen.
Who Should Study Hypnotherapy?
The skill of hypnotherapy can benefit just about anyone in any field.
People who study hypnotherapy come from all walks of life, including medical professionals, holistic healers, intuitives, lawyers, dentists, parents, artists, coaches, counselors, police officers, salespeople, and more. There are no prerequisites, and everyone can benefit from this education.
But the “Why” is important. Why would you like to learn the skills and techniques of hypnotherapy? How do you imagine it will enhance the quality of your life and the lives of your friends and family, as well as create a greater circle of influence?
Maybe you imagine putting your children to bed using hypnotic language or helping them to overcome test anxiety. What if you had the tools to get to the deeper root of your aches and pains and improve your quality of life—and that of others around you?
Imagine starting your own business where you call the shots, name your fees, and determine your hours and vacation time while witnessing the most amazing experiences as your clients transform their lives from unmanageable to WOW!
I personally really think that the question is not why would a person want to learn hypnotherapy, but why not?
How hypnotherapy benefits clients
By adding hypnotherapy to your skillset, you’ll be able to dive deeper with your clients. As a holistic healer, this can bring great returns for your business and have a positive and lasting effect on your client’s lives.
Holistic practitioners realize that to be healthy, all the parts must work in unison. Rather than focusing only on the body or the mind, the holistic approach to healing considers the whole being as an integrated system of body, mind, emotion, energy field, and spirit.
For example, if there are emotional or mental reasons why the body is gaining weight, it will be frustrating to focus on treating the body alone. This explains why numerous diet and workout routines fail to yield lasting results.
Using hypnotherapy, the client/patient is guided into a relaxing, altered state of mental focus, where they can access the wisdom of their own higher consciousness. Here, they can explore the deeper causation of pain, unwanted habits and traits, depression, anxiety, and more. With hypnotherapy, we get to the roots of the issues and correct the course at the point of origin.
Use a client-centered approach to achieve healing
As a holistic practitioner, you can offer your clients deep, effective, and sustainable relief and resolution through hypnotherapy.
I’m not talking about the kind of hypnotherapy where the practitioner uses prefab and generic scripts to implant suggestions based on their own perspective of what the client needs to do to heal. I am talking about a client-centered approach where the client accesses the wisdom already within their body, mind, and spirit to realize the unique way this issue has developed and discover the exact solution that will be perfect for them. This approach is what gets results quickly!
Help your clients break through using past life regression
In my practice of over 20 years, it has become apparent that the lack of self-knowledge is at the core of nearly every presenting problem that my clients bring to the office. From addictions to fears and dysfunctional relationships to disease, the deeper causation of these symptoms resides buried in the lack of self-awareness and the failure to blossom into the most brilliant version of ourselves.
People feel lost and without purpose, using coping methods to deal with life instead of authenticity and self-empowerment.
This is where going even deeper is required. Awareness at a greater soul level is only achieved by exploring the purpose and character of who you were in other lifetimes. By learning to facilitate masterful past life regressions, you will guide your clients in gaining deeper self-awareness and alignment with the fullness of their souls.
The expansion of our consciousness and the foundation of our spiritual growth is in the discovery of the full spectrum of our soul.To truly thrive in our fullest potential, we must delve into our past lives, heal past traumas, and reclaim the wisdom, knowledge, and skills acquired but not yet remembered. It’s the ultimate prize of the hero’s quest.
I like to use a diamond as a metaphor for the soul. This diamond has an infinite number of facets that create its luster, brilliance, and depth, revealing its true and most glorious nature.
Imagine if, in our soul, each facet represented a different lifetime. We each have infinite lifetimes, each with a set of knowledge, experiences, skills, traumas, strengths, weaknesses, relationships, lovers, and careers. The accumulation of all those lifetimes shapes the essence of a person’s soul. They all influence the present because they are all connected as a part of the greater being.
When we are aware of only one lifetime, it is like wearing a diamond that has only one facet. Think of how dull and disappointing that would be. It would lack the color, dimension, power, and brilliance that lies within its true nature.
During a recent meeting, my client sought my counsel after receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer. She wanted to explore all the alternative approaches to healing possible before submitting to radical surgery or chemical treatments.
As we began, her subconscious mind presented her with a book. Exploring the book, it became clear that it contained legacies from her ancestors as well as from her own soul journey through lifetimes. As she was handling the book and absorbing the wisdom, she could sense many spirits doing healing work on her. The main one, a Native American woman who practices shamanism, explained to her that her health issues stemmed from not fully embracing her true self. She was advised that by shrinking and hiding instead of embracing her full potential, she was affecting her well-being.
While the spirits continued to work on her, I regressed her to a lifetime when she was a physician. She hadn’t undergone any official schooling, but she learned the healing craft by working alongside her father. This path of healing was passed down to her as a legacy, and it flowed naturally from her. She was excellent at what she did, but as the only healer in the community, she was overwhelmed with the weight of holding life and death in the balance for so many people.
Feeling overwhelmed, she begged the heavens, “Why must I bear this weight? All I crave is solace and respite from this ordeal.”
However, under the guidance of her Native American healer, she was urged to shift her perspective. Instead of retreating, why not pass on her knowledge by mentoring an apprentice, just as she had been taught?
The lightbulb went on, and my client’s past life character sought out and trained an apprentice. From then on, her life blossomed with happiness and satisfaction, leaving behind the dark clouds of despair and frustration. My client realized that in this life, too, she needed to reach out and collaborate with others in order to move forward more easily.
From here, we proceeded to another lifetime. Ancient Egypt. During that lifetime, she served as a healer and guide to a noblewoman. Her life was peaceful and fulfilling. Her energy was expansive and powerful; her confidence was solid. During a chat arranged between my client and her previous self, she was asked why she was making things so tough on herself in this lifetime. “Why disregard your own needs while serving others? Why diminish your strength and potential when you were meant to carry out your tasks with vigor and assurance?
My client had thought that submission was a part of service to others. Since childhood, she had been instilled with these teachings by her mother, only now realizing their confusion and misdirection. It dawned on her instantly that self-empowerment was the key to enhanced healing and service. Flourishing and standing firm proved far more impactful than withering away in weakness and exhaustion.
This past-life persona agreed to integrate into my client and remain there anytime she was needed to retrain her into the perspectives and countenance of her most powerful and effective nature.
In tying these past life experiences to her present diagnosis of cancer, she realized that at the root of this disease, for her, was that she was living from the perspective of self-sacrifice. Her mother left her a legacy that resonated with her despair during her time as a doctor. She, too, had a desire to escape, and in this case, even an unconscious death wish.
Her second past life revealed the solution to her current predicament: self-love, empowerment, embracing her full potential, fostering community, and living purposefully and effortlessly.
Merely addressing the symptoms of an illness or condition falls short of the mark.
Through hypnotherapy and past life regression, holistic healers and practitioners can facilitate a safe and comfortable space that allows clients to get to the deep roots of their trauma and blockages so that they can break through and live with purpose and free of fear.
How to become a hypnotherapist
If you are called to become a hypnotherapist or facilitate past life regressions, it is likely that you are someone who loves helping your clients achieve personal self-awareness, spiritual growth, and breakthroughs to attaining their soul’s purpose as well as walking their best path.
It has become widely accepted that the body-mind-spirit connection is vital in all areas of healing and self-improvement. Hypnotherapy and its accompanying healing protocols are rapid and effective approaches to understanding and modifying perceptions, beliefs, communication, and behavior, as well as accelerating self-awareness and change. These protocols can be used to enhance healing and well-being across the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects, as well as in every facet of life.
Remember, our clients don’t come to us because they are doing great and moving through life without a hitch. They come to a hypnotherapist because they have pain in some area of their lives and have a deep longing for something better. They know things aren’t going the way they would like them to and that the time has come to seek assistance in their quest for health, abundance, and a joyful, balanced lifestyle.
