Our Interactive Self-Hypnosis Affirmation Programs...
Affirmations are mini-mind programs.  In truth, everything you verbalize, say to your Self or think is an affirmation of sorts.  It's important to realize that each & every moment you are programming your mind to go towards that goal thought or verbalization!  Now think...do you plant active affirmations for those things you would like to accomplish or do you just allow your mind to produce anything it wants?  This simple awareness can change your life right in this very moment.  Our affirmation series is designed to place hot-desire subconscious mind programs in place, as well as to allow you to edit out any old mind programs that are stepping on your toes.  Our most popular programs include Staying Positive, Self-Discipline, Decision Making, Creativity, Exercise Motivation & Deep Relaxation.  Follow this link to our program list & then click on those for a full description.   

Our Adult & Kids Sports Programs...
No matter what your sport of choice, be its Rock Climbing, Tennis, Golf, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Figure Skating, Archery, Boxing, or Darts, to name a few, we have a program for you.  To achieve at high levels one needs good skills & that includes those that are specific to the sport, as well as skills for managing the mind & body connection.  Emotional & thought management is key to performance.  It is also extremely important to let your subconscious & unconscious mind know exactly what you want "as if" you have already achieved it.  This type of interactive imagery actually directs the body to perform in relation to the idea, thought or actual mind image.  Our programs are designed to enhance focus, flow & concentration.  Then the listener enters the active images of his or her sport, directs the emotions & learns to build new mind programs for high level performance including endurance & flexibility.  Follow this link to the sport of your choice for adults.   Programs for kids are located at this link.

Our Original Interactive Self-Hypnosis Workshop Programs...
Inside our mind's eye we have fertile space for planting new goals for optimum health & high level achievement. We only need to relax deeply & have specialized images for going there.  Our programs provide the transportation & the tools for change.  The listener does the rest.  Inside each Workshop there are many creative areas including wide-screen television sets for entering old or new mind programs, cameras that enhance or diminish & then allow you to plant edited or new mind programs, places to meet up with your Higher Self & to communicate directly & even a train ride into your past, allowing you to stop the train wherever you choose. Our most popular programs include Automatic Writing, The Interactive Self-Hypnosis Workshop, The Mountain, Making Miracles, Dream Making, The Board Room, Visualization, Age Regression & Deepening Trance. Follow this link to our program choices.

Our Heightened Awareness, Emotional & Thought Management Programs...
The key to optimum health & high level performance lives in the realm of emotional & thought management. Interactive Self-Hypnosis allows the mind & body to focus deeply & to see/sense emotions as separate from the Self.  In this powerful state of disassociation, the listener gently disciplines & then teaches the emotional states. Thoughts are seen as DVD disks that can be placed in the mind or not.  Everything is about choice.  Are your thoughts taking you towards what you want or away from it?  Our most popular programs include Heightened Awareness, Focus & Flow, Managing Emotions, Stress Management & Thought Management.

 Question:   I've read a lot about sugar addiction , bought all the books & while I would like to change my eating habits,  I see this as next to impossible.  Is there anything  I can do to make this easier?  Could this be related to my "souring"  golf game?

 Answer:  No doubt about it, we are a nation of addicts & sugar ranks right at the top of the list.  While sugar is the most prevalent, widely practiced & legally accepted addiction in our society, few of us understand it & fewer still know how to, or are willing to manage it.   Part of the problem is that we just don't get it.  We can't seem to see beyond our need for immediate gratification & the long-term effects of poor nutritional intake. You are certainly right about it "souring" your golf game, but the "souring" is much more serious than that, even if you are a budding Tiger Woods.

Although many sugar-addicted people are over-weight, just as many are not.  Sugar is well known as the underlying addiction to all addictions & can be seen hiding under alcoholism, caffeine, nicotine & drug addictions of all varieties from recreational to OTC, as well as prescription medications.  It is usually a part of any compulsive behavior & is well-connected to anxiety, panic disorder, phobia, depression & a host of other emotional imbalances.  On the physical side it plays havoc with many chronic disease states, the most popular being hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia , diabetes, heart & circulatory disorders, certain cancers, gastro-intestinal disturbances,  as well as PMS & menopause.  It effects cognitive functioning, including memory, focus, concentration, mental flexibility & levels of creativity. It is not uncommon for a golfer or tennis player to have a focus issue & find it related to dietary intake. 

 While the management of any addiction is certainly challenging, the recovery from the sugar pest is particularly so.  We are programmed to eat & drink all day long.  Most suggestions from food companies take us down the health-performance failure road.  But just as we can be programmed to fail, we can just as easily program ourselves to succeed.  There are certain keys to addiction management & successful people learn to actively employ all of them.  It is not enough to know what to do as some books would have us believe.  Specialized tools are needed to transfer all knowledge into action steps, even under high stress situations.  Just like in the field of competitive sports, one works to gain skills,  develops them in practice, bringing them to the competitive arena.  

KEY #1 - All knowledge about sugar addiction should be placed in the subconscious mind with self-hypnosis.  This helps to reinforce the desired outcomes.  Reviewing our past indiscretions is helpful, as it allows us to enhance what we want to change.

 KEY #2 - A healthy, balanced nutritional eating plan needs to be designed & planted in the library of the mind. For some this may mean cutting out all refined carbohydrates for awhile & for others cutting back on specific foods that are triggering sugar addiction & related problems.

 KEY #3 - Learning to manage emotions & thoughts with self-hypnosis.  This method of stress management actually changes the body chemistry right in the moment, assisting in diminishing the desire for sugars.  Compulsive & emotional eating are curtailed through diminishing related images & programming the mind for the desired goal.  Success is built one image or moment at a time.  Each of these moments works to enhance the next, building a resilient self. There are many other tools that work to enhance the functioning of the subconscious mind.
