A personal reminder of the Power of Hypnosis

I have just gotten back from a week in Vegas at a Fantastic Hypnosis conference. In our conferences, there are often group hypnosis session where we are guided through new techniques or modalities.

I was in a few of these classes and shed many tears that were needing release. I knew deep things had shifted and the heaviness that was still residing in me from my surrogacy journey was gone.

Then I had a realization that may seem obvious intellectually but is one of those life changing moments when it clicks into place unconsciously. The seeds were planted in the conference, and I could feel them sprouting. Then this happened!

I had a photo reminder come up on my phone of pics from four years earlier when I was at this conference. My body was Smokin! I was 65 pounds lighter and wearing form fitting dresses with ease.

What does “wearing them with ease” mean? Let’s be real.

It means, I didn’t have biker shorts on underneath to prevent complete skin loss from excessive chaffing with each step I took! It means, I didn’t think twice about walking somewhere. It means when/if the elevators stopped working (which they did this time), I would be pumped and view it as a fun adventure to walk up 26 flights of stairs in a non-airconditioned stairway during a Vegas heatwave (45 degree Celsius).

So, when these pictures first popped up, I was gutted that I didn’t look like and have that ease of movement now. BUT then I remembered how easily we carry forward our trauma and habits like anxiety and people pleasing. How we lead with these injuries and how they dictate how we filter our experiences. How in essence, they become our identity.

Then, I realized. That person, who is 65 pounds lighter, was strong AF! She loved to rock wall climb (even thought she was afraid of heights), she loved to lift weights and challenge her body to get stronger, she found it easy and a fun challenge to get at least 10,000 steps each day. To the point where she would do the football shuffle (running as fast as you can on the spot) in front of the microwave when she realized she had 1000 more steps to go and it was 11:52pm – “game on” she would think! She loved to sweat and knew good things came of it.

Best of all, I realized, this person is still ME!

I AM this person. I AM strong. I love to move. My body is light and flowing. THIS is my identity and my TRUE nature. Not all of that other garbage! THIS is who I carry forward and the emotions and resources I tap into.

It was like a light switch was flipped back on in my body and mind.

Since I’ve gotten home, I have easily moved through my days embracing movement again. Craving it with excitement. All of this because of the hypnosis sessions that I did at my conference.

Hypnosis so friggin powerful!

With that in mind, I wanted to let you know about what is coming up in my Hypnotic world.

This month we have two Hypnotic Sound Baths. They blend the power of sound and the healing modalities of hypnosis to create a very powerful experience.

The Hypnotic Sound Baths are on Wednesday, August 9th and 23rd at 7pm. You can find out more about those at www.groundedhypnosis.com/events

I am also feeling called to hold bi-weekly hypnosis session in a subscription style format. I have yet to work out all the details, but here is what I know so far. I will be holding them on the weeks when I don’t offer sound baths. They will be held online through zoom and the recordings will be available for those that can’t make it in person. If you’re in the Ottawa area, there will be the option of attending the hypnosis (online) and sound healing (in person) for a discounted rate. This will be starting in September. Stay tuned for more and in the meantime, let me know what you think of this idea.

I also wanted to remind people, that those of you who have already done hypnosis with me, I have a 4-session package at a lower rate than the initial package for those that want to do some healing and growth. If you’re interested in doing that, please let me know.

I’m so excited to share what I’ve learned in Vegas with you all!

Please remember I am here to support you in any way I can.

Wishing you a joyful month!

Much Love,
