While on vacation with my wife recently in Cancun, we were talking with a half dozen people by the bar in the resort swimming pool.

My wife and I were in a café in Santa Monica when a motorcycle cop walked in to have his dinner.

Another week and another chance to share with readers the benefits of hypnotherapy, the amazing opportunities you can create for yourself by using the wonderful power of your subconscious.

I recently went to a new dentist. A nice man, he had a friendly, concerned and helpful staff. In addition, it was the cleanest dental office I ever had visited.

As I grow older, time seems to go by much more quickly. I used to smile when I saw our senior citizens in stores purchasing Christmas gifts for their grandchildren or adult children in July. Now I understand why. Time flies. Worse, as I continue to age, the time goes by even more quickly.

I have had two new clients recently for whom control is a major issue. One individual must control everything at all times, including other drivers when driving on the freeway. As a result of his compulsion to control, he is exhibiting extreme symptoms of panic and anxiety.

When I think about it, “can’t” simply means “won’t.”

A young lady came to see me today for help. Originally from Alaska, she lived in Utah for two years, the first in a rehab clinic for drug and eating issues. She chose to live there on her own for another year before moving to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career.

Your body always will attempt to resist changes you want to make. It is so highly tuned that it knows to the gram what you are happiest doing every day. It might be smoking, drugs, food, gambling, men, women. Whatever the addiction, it is a learned behavior. You were not born with it. You learned it so well that the subconscious will not let you change it without a fierce battle.

I was asked recently by a client who is a radio talk show host if I would like to appear on her show, a real estate program. Would I speak about how hypnosis could help people in financial difficulty because of the real estate crash?
