Change Your Perspective—
International Spiritual Hypnotherapy Institute

By Debi Livingston

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind we go into every day. Reading a good book, driving down the highway and missing your exit because you were deep in thought, even studying for a test are all examples of being in hypnosis. When you are in hypnosis you are not sleeping, like when you go to bed at night. It's considered a 'trance-like' sleep because your body and mind are so relaxed, yet you are still very much aware of everything going on around you. You can talk while in hypnosis. You hear sounds when you are in hypnosis. You won't give away any secrets or say things you don't want to say while in hypnosis. Most importantly, you won't do anything you don't want to do or go against your personal code of morals and ethics, just because you are in hypnosis. Hypnosis will reveal to you why you are the way you are, and how you can be when you decide to shift your perspective to create life changes.

To have change take place easily and permanently, you need to be in hypnosis because that is when you are in your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is the storehouse of memory of all your life experiences, whether you consciously remember them or not. Your subconscious mind is also where habits and patterns are stored. Once you access your subconscious mind you have tapped into your inner power where anything is possible! Napoleon Hill says, in his book Think and Grow Rich "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve." How true!

For over ten years the ISHI School of Hypnosis Training in Berkeley and San Jose has been teaching the healing art of hypnosis. Thousands of people have quit smoking, lost weight and achieved goals with hypnosis. The Hypnotherapy Certification course—the best of its kind—offers a unique opportunity for students to work on personal life issues while training to become a leading certified hypnotherapist in this fast growing profession.

Everyone has the power and potential to be the best individual they yearn to be. Hypnosis is a wonderful, safe and effective tool to help people create those changes.
