  • Needles And Hypnosis

    Needles And Hypnosis

    Back in March this year, I walked into My Rest Acupuncture Studio on Main Street at 18th Avenue Vancouver. I was surprised. As beautiful, tranquil, and peaceful as the open room was, it was just, open! A few massage tables quietly bathed in soothing music and restful energy. I asked my collaboration partner Ala Wroblewska…

  • I Eat Vegetables. I’m Not a Vegetarian

    I Eat Vegetables. I’m Not a Vegetarian

    Kathy told me that she just left another job–or, more accurately, was let go by another employer. As I listened to her talk of her problems, her words came out as fast as her footsteps. I asked her, trying to slow her down, “What would you like to work on through hypnotherapy?”

  • Finding Personal Power in a Small Life

    Finding Personal Power in a Small Life

    I remembered at the beginning of our session, Nancy specifically said she wanted to release other people’s expectations of her, and the inner impression from others that says “your opinion doesn’t matter”. Maybe “power” means something completely different from the soul’s perspective. At one level, I almost felt apologetic to Nancy that the lifetime we…

  • Awakening Human

    One day, my 13-and-half-year-old client asked me, “Why does one unwanted thought stick in my head for long? Other good thoughts don’t?” I found that a very genuine authentic observation, actually a very wise question. I had to think for a moment. And I answered him that the unreal thoughts have to be louder and…

  • The Path Not Travelled

    The Path Not Travelled

    Is the path we haven’t traveled better or worse? It’s a decision we make in our minds. As a physical being, we can only choose one path at a time. Therefore, it’s always wise to decide the path I have chosen, or I will choose, is the best one.

  • Teardrop Speaks

    Teardrop Speaks

    Brenda’s Teardrop is her ego. The ego is the mind-made entity that consists of a bundle of thoughts that occur frequently. In the bundle of thoughts are all the things that we’ve identified with ourselves – job positions, relationships, accomplishments, disappointments, our successes and failures, what other people think of us, all those thoughts form…

  • Death Walker Julie

    Death Walker Julie

    Julie reminded me of French actress Sophie Marceau. Upon arriving, when I told her so, she said, “Funny enough, I am French.” This 23-year-old young lady wanted to have more self-confidence and get rid of the “inner fears” that she couldn’t seem to get rid of on her own. “What are you afraid of?” I…

  • A Space for Myself is a Space for you

    A Space for Myself is a Space for you

    I had a Skype session with a client during my travels in Venice Italy. It took me some extra time to get everything ready as connecting to the Internet didn’t go smoothly. I was six minutes late for the online appointment. But finally I was on. I was glad. And my client seemed to be…

  • Another Type of Past Life Regression

    Another Type of Past Life Regression

    Samantha brought to our appointment her presenting issue – panic attacks and anxiety. They had always been with her, but got intensified as she was trying to have a baby. As usual, I never initiate the concept of “past lives” to my clients. It was not until our third session that Samantha started to mention,…

  • From Priestess to Prostitute

    The blog post is a hypnotherapy case story telling a woman’s journey from priestess to prostitute to grace, a journey of humanity. My client was a courageous soul to go through it, and to give me permission to write about it. The name used is not the client’s real name…
