Effective Techniques for Empowerment through Hypnosis, with Brooke Alexander.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
When you think about hypnosis, do you picture someone swinging a watch back and forth to put someone into a zombie-like state of compliance?
Well you can throw that old stereotype out the window. The reality is that hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you overcome what is holding you back.
Have you ever had a big goal, and you knew what you needed to do but for some reason you just couldn’t do it? Hypnosis can help.
Today my guest on the Shine to FIVE Method with CJ is Brooke Alexander, founder of Created Mind Academy, and she is dishing the goods on all things hypnosis and other behaviour techniques you can use to push through what is holding you back so you can go out and do the things.
She explains that hypnosis is actually a really relaxed state that you go in and out of all day and that you won’t see a dramatic explosion of change, but rather something subtle that shifts in you that you might not even notice at first but come to see more and more over time how your behaviour and patterns have shifted.
It’s so interesting and something I have been wanting to learn more about for a while, so I am really excited to share this episode with you.
If you are curious to learn more about this powerful tool and how you can use it to empower yourself, this episode is for you.
