Lose what fast, you ask? I'm glad you did - I'm talking about losing fat. You know, fat, that ugly accumulation around our mid-section, hips, thighs, arms and even the face.

CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT IT My mother used to always say "If you can't change the ... more...

Believe it or not, but depression is a treatable and manageable disease. Whilst perhaps there isn't any universal cure for it, using hypnosis for depression can help manage it in ways a lot greater than you might initially think or believe.

We all remember the horrible pictures and video footage when the twin towers were burning up. We watched at home on our televisions as news broadcasts were televising the live coverage of people trying to escape and firefighters frantically trying to reach those that were trapped in the top floors of the buildings.

The critical mind is the part of our mind that analyzes information and determines whether or not it should be passed into our subconscious.

Many people work with me to overcome the after effects of traumas like rape, auto accidents, childhood abuse, war experiences, etc. These terrifying, often life threatening events leave them with what is called Post Traumatic Stress.

Before a man can truly love a woman, his respect for her must be at level 8 or above (on a scale of 1-10). But even before a man can truly love and respect you, you must love and respect YOURSELF!
