When to Make and Break Meditation Rituals
How many of you dabbled with meditation and then quit? Even if you were getting benefits? I don’t judge – it’s easy to fall out of positive habits.

How to Hypnotically Disconnect People from Themselves
A deep hypnotic trance is a strange (and pleasant) experience. There’s often a sense that something different happens. It’s as if your body is over there and your mind is over here. You don’t need to reach this disconnected state for hypnosis to help… Continue Reading “How to Hypnotically Disconnect People from Themselves”
What are you offering?
Hypnotists, along with many other small business owners, think about what makes them unique. I strongly encourage this. Thinking about what separates you from others is a great way to develop your brand. But what does it mean to be unique and how is… Continue Reading “What are you offering?”

Why Magic Isn’t Real and How You Can Harness It
I’m here to tell you that the old magics work. I don’t believe in any fantasies. I’m a capital-C cynic who would point out that supernatural literally means ‘not found in nature’. None of this matters. Magic works. How can I say that I’m… Continue Reading “Why Magic Isn’t Real and How You Can Harness It”
What Meditation Demands Of You
I don’t need to tell you the physical and mental benefits of meditation. Plenty of people do that and, if you’re reading this, you probably know them already. It’s one of the best ways you can spend your time. No, not spend. Invest. You… Continue Reading “What Meditation Demands Of You”
Smartphone Addiction’s Causes and Cures
It’s a fun thing to watch a bored smartphone addict. Maybe they’re standing around, waiting for a bus. Every minute or so, they whip out their phone, glance at it and put it away, like a rat pulling a lever. What if they got… Continue Reading “Smartphone Addiction’s Causes and Cures”
