Aside from being honored to witness my clients change right in front of my eyes… my FAVORITE part of doing hypnosis sessions is the audio I send home with them. It is full of new thoughts, beliefs and attitudes, created by my clients (with a little help from me) that will help enhance the results of their hypnosis session.
WHY ARE YOUR WORDS IMPORTANT?
Because… your subconscious mind
absolutely ADORES your own words.
It loves the way you put together your thoughts together.
Your words are what it knows.
YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS LISTENS TO YOUR WORDS.
YOUR WORDS RESONATE.
Meditation apps like Calm and Insight Time are great.
But they are made to fit the needs of the average person.
I create personalized audio meditations with your own words. I also provide guidance in creating statements that utilize concepts from accepted hypnotherapy and NLP concepts.
You will choose your background music from several music selections.

This meditation is a fun and relaxing way to incorporate mindfulness, breathe and relaxation. Studies about mindfulness, relaxation, and conscious breathing show the importance of these practices…
something Eastern medicine and philosophy have always known.
Briefly, mindfulness is about consciously focusing on the present moment, no matter what you are doing, being consciously aware of all of our senses in each moment, and letting go of any judgment about the present moment.

Here is some Science ~ Meditation and Mindfulness
Meditation, conscious breathing, relaxation and guided imagery are great tools for developing mindful practice. As you develop mindful practice, you are quite literally building new neuronal pathways in your brain ~ pathways that encourage peace, calm and presence. As you develop these new pathways, you will develop an entire new way of being in your life and of responding to your environment. When focused on the present moment, it is impossible to worry about the future or the past ~ you can’t do both at the same time. And, focusing on the past or future is highly correlated with stress, anxiety and depression.
Of course, there are times when the present moment simply isn’t ideal. The good news is mindfulness helps even during difficult moments. Science is showing that as we practice meditation and mindfulness, our brains are literally re-wired and we become better equipped to handle any given moment.
Likewise, if you are focused on the past or future, you are completely missing the present. And as you learn to focus on the present, everything changes!
Studies find the benefits of mindful practice include:
- Reducing your level of stress and anxiety
- Reducing worry
- Increasing a sense of joy
- Changing behaviors including behaviors associated with eating and weight loss
- Alleviating chronic medical condition/pain symptoms
- Lessening depression
- Possibly slowing or decreasing cognitive decline in dementia and Alzheimer’s
- Reducing feelings of loneliness
- Improving sleep
- Boosting resilience
- Helping with emotion regulation
- Improve attention span
- Improve your ability to remain positive
- Develop an overall sense of peace and calm
Mindful practice can also benefit your brain! Neuroplasticity is basically the ability of your brain to change over time. Positivepsychology.com states: “When we practice mindfulness, we send the message to our brain that we are more effective at dealing with everyday tasks when we are aware, observant, nonreactive, and nonjudgmental. This causes our brain to make the changes that will improve our ability to function mindfully”.
