Dear <%NAME%>, I apologize for being out of touch last
month.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all
of you that expressed their concern in what is currently happening, I appreciate
the E-mails, advice and good intentions. Please know that I did take many
of your suggestions to help clear up my current situation. The properties
have not been resold yet but it seems like the closing period has been extended
for an extra month so there is still time and I am knocking on every
door. I will keep you updated.
Beyond the 20%
Two weeks ago I had the privilege to once again attend the
IACT annual Hypnosis convention. This is a yearly event that brings
hypnotherapists from anywhere and everywhere to talk about current issues that
are occurring in hypnosis today. I was honored to spend some time
with those big names in the hypnosis communities that shared many of their
stories of the success of their patients and even though I was not surprised at
many of the stories I heard, it was refreshing to hear about the amazing things
that happen when we use the power of the mind. When we say that we use
only 20% of our mind/brain what stops us from using the rest? Using what
we already know can help us tap into the other 80%. Additionally, I
believe that most of us don't realize that we are capable of using more because
of ignorance. No one ever taught us, or we just never heard but I believe
we are all capable.
Re-growing Cartilage
One particular story caught my attention about
a woman that was overweight and needed knee surgery. One of the
unfortunate side effects of excess weight is how destructive it becomes on the body's
joints. This woman in particular was in a lot of pain and needed a knee
replacement. It was discovered through hypnosis that she was holding on to weight in order
to protect herself from a threat that had occurred long before. Once this
issue was worked on, she began to lose weight. She then began to use her
mind to imagine rows of cartilage growing back in her bad knee. When she
went to the doctor for her surgery the doctors concluded she no longer needed
that surgery because her cartilage had been completely
restored.
Needles in the hand
Another hypnotist (Wendy Friesen) described how she
demonstrated mental anesthesia in front of a group of doctors and hypnotized a
man so that they did not feel pins going through his right hand. To make
it more interesting she had that person open their eyes and only anesthetized one part of the body while
the other part felt everything. She claimed to have placed pins in one
hand while she merely pricked the other and the patient said
"ouch." A physician named James Esdaile is a well known name in
the hypnosis circles. Dr. Esdaile learned how to hypnotize in the late
1800s and did amazing work with surgery on hypnotized patients. He even
performed amputations without any medical anesthesia (well there wasn't any to
begin with but he used nothing other than the patient's mental power).
Additionally he operated on and removed tumors using hypnosis alone.
There are workshops and weekend seminars on
fire walking and crushed glass walking. A friend recently told me that she
walked barefoot on hot coals and crushed glass without hurting her
feet.
Where do I fit in?
I think that we have an amazing
opportunity to expand our limits. There is so much information, seminars
and classes available to us today which can get us further in our capacity than
we would have been able to go years ago.
Internet, seminars and just the resources around you can be a good
beginning. If you've never experienced something as outrageous as walking
on hot coals or having pins put through your hands then I suggest you get some
coals and nails from Home Depot and..... (just kidding). Seriously though I suggest
(if you are interested in expanding your horizons) to use the power of your mind
or research how to use that mental power to help you in your specific
interest. By now, many people have seen the documentary The Secret.
It's not a secret. We've known about the ability we have to attract and
repel things in our universe for centuries. Not every method works for
everyone so don't get discouraged if you are following the secret to the letter
and are not getting the results you want. I have used different methods
before and some have worked, some haven't. There may also be unconscious
blocks present that hold one back from achieving goals. I have been able
to remove physical difficulties with more ease using my mind than
finances. Whatever your desires are, my idea in this letter is to tell you
to be persistent if you desire something and look for the right method or
breakthrough that will help you achieve your goal(s). It's never too late
and it feels great once you've achieved what you wanted. If I can be of
any help please let me know.
I'll leave you with a funny note
that was said by the keynote speaker (Robert Otto) at the hypnosis
convention. He made reference to those people in the hypnosis profession
which created outrageous success using the skills they had by helping
others. He said, "The people that became successful in this business
did so not because they had a tremendous business savvy. They were just
too stupid to get out so they became successful by default." This
happens to a lot of people. These people are not literally stupid but more
so stubborn. I have a friend that one time told something I'll never
forget. He said "a millionaire one time told me that they only way
you fail is if you give up."
Speak to you again next month.
