Hypnosis is a procedure during which a health professional or researcher suggests that a client, patient, or subject experience changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts, or behavior. The hypnotic context is generally established by an induction procedure. Although there are many different hypnotic inductions, most include suggestions for relaxation, calmness, and well-being. Instructions to imagine or think about pleasant experiences are also commonly included in hypnotic inductions. People respond to Hypnosis in different ways. Some describe Hypnosis as a normal state of focused attention, in which they feel very calm and relaxed. Regardless of how and to what degree they respond, most people describe the experience as very pleasant.

Some people are very responsive to hypnotic suggestions and others are less responsive. A person's ability to experience hypnotic suggestions can be inhibited by fears and concerns arising from some common misconceptions. Contrary to some depictions of Hypnosis in books, movies or television, people who have been hypnotized do not lose control over their behavior. They typically remain aware of whom they are and where they are, and unless amnesia has been specifically suggested, they usually remember what transpired during Hypnosis. Hypnosis makes it easier for people to experience suggestions, but it does not force them to have these experiences.

Hypnosis has been used in the treatment of pain, stress, negative habits, motivation, self-esteem, improving and maintaining a healthy life, by utilizing positive suggestions for wellness.

Hypnosis is not a type of therapy, like psychoanalysis or behavior therapy. Instead, it is a procedure that can be used to facilitate.

Tranquil Beginnings

Yes! These are babies whose parents choose to easily and naturally prepare for childbirth using the Tranquil Beginnings method of Hypnotic Childbirth, which teaches real medical hypnosis techniques, creating an automatically peaceful, relaxing and more comfortable pregnancy, a tranquil father, and an easier, fearless and often pain-free birthing for our mother.

Tranquil Beginnings is a complete childbirth education course that also teaches Gerald Kein’s famous Painless Childbirth techniques to Tranquil Beginnings mothers so that they can enter hypnosis, deepen it themselves and remain mobile during labor, completely comfortable at all times. Our Tranquil Beginnings have no drugs in their systems when they are born, and are able to nurse, breathe well and interact with their happy parents immediately. Our goal - No drugs for Baby; No Pain for Mommy. Fantastic! (See below to find out what the master himself, Gerald Kein thinks of Tranquil Beginnings!)

We know that all change comes from within, and that hypnosis is a very powerful tool for creating new belief systems and powerful physical effects, so we simply help women and their partners learn to empower themselves in this wonderful way for their baby’s birth. It works beautifully and is so successful that we are now offering Tranquil Beginnings Classes across the USA.

The amazing benefits of a Tranquil Beginnings Birth:

• Relaxed Mom and Dad throughout pregnancy, labor and birth. Both parents participate in the Hypnosis and Fear Release sessions, providing them with a sense of calm and confidence.
• Shorter labors due to lack of resistance in the birthing muscles.
  Fewer complications and interventions, as the body and mind stay completely relaxed during labor. Posterior and Breech babies can be turned with hypnosis as well.
• Fewer drugs or no drugs at all, means less risk of harmful side effects for mother and baby.
• Elimination of the Fear/Tension/Pain Syndrome. CDs and scripts are used in labor to effect post-hypnotic suggestions for elimination of discomfort and relaxation.

Many of our birthing mothers who use Tranquil Beginnings experience only pressure or tightening sensations during birth. They have their babies in a state of deep relaxation, with little or no discomfort or fear using real hypno-anesthesia. Discomfort in childbirth can be the result of the Fear/Tension/Pain Cycle (Syndrome).

This begins with Fear, which produces tension in the body, which creates tightness (Tension) and constriction of the uterine muscles, which results in Pain. In Tranquil Beginnings classes, you will learn how to relax both the mind and body, eliminating fear and therefore pain, as well as create hypnotic anesthesia, remain mobile during hypnosis and use post-hypnotic suggestions for ease of birth, recovery and breastfeeding if you so choose .

Did you know? There are people that have life-threatening allergies to anesthetics who successfully undergo medical and dental surgery with hypnosis as their only anesthesia! If hypnosis can create effective pain elimination for surgeries of all kinds, we know it can work for childbirth, and it does quite well. Your mind is much more powerful than you may realize, and right now you're using only 10% of it. You can easily tap into that gold mine and you'll be amazed at what you can do.

Emotional Freedom Techniques

Energy therapy is based on concepts from Chinese Medicine developed over 4000 years ago. The body is an energy system made up of a network of meridians. This energy system is considered to be the Life Force or Chi.

Energy therapy is based on the belief that all illness and disease are caused by an energy imbalance resulting from trapped negative emotions that block the flow of the energy. Once there is a block, the system has to be cleared and realigned for the person to begin to heal. Now you can learn an easy and effective technique that you can do on yourself to release the emotional blocks underlying unwanted behaviors (e.g., addictions to food, smoking, feeling stressed), and that neutralize subsequent relapse triggers. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) uses a tapping motion to stimulate the meridians of your energy system while you focus on the emotional issue of which you wish to be rid.

Hypnosis by Telephone

If you are interested in participating in a Hypnosis Session but do not live in the New York City, Westchester County or the Las Vegas area…Hypnosis by phone may be the solution for your needs. I have clients all over United States who call when necessary to receive Hypnosis sessions for them.

We are all so busy nowadays, and scheduling is often times impossible given work, social and family time restraints…A phone session alleviates the travel time involved, and offers you the advantages of Hypnosis in the comfort of your home or office, at a time that is convenient for you.

• Call for an appointment, allowing for at least a 1 1/2 - 2 hour time slot.
• Submit an intake form prior to your session.
• For your session, you must be able to be in a peaceful, comfortable setting where you will not be disturbed.
  • Sitting up in a recliner chair or in a large comfortable chair with an ottoman for support of your legs is appropriate.
  • Sit so that your head is propped up
  • You should not be lying down in bed. Since I will be working with your subconscious I do not want you to be asleep — just very comfortable.
• Once I receive your intake form I will be able to prepare the Hypnosis session based on your personal needs, wants, suggestions, and challenges.
• You will need to have access to a phone with a headset. Many of my clients prefer to use their cell phones. With so many calling plans incorporating free nights and weekends, this may be advantageous for you.
• The Session: We will talk first (while you are in a conscious state of mind) and review from your intake form and incorporate any new information you would like to share to ensure a Positive Life Changes session.
  • During your session we will work together to allow you to make the positive changes you would like to incorporate into your life and at the same time allow yourself to let go of all the negative past experiences.
  • We will work on forgiveness which along with the release of negativity will allow your new positive changes that you have now chosen to take effect.

The Average Length of a Hypnosis Session

• Each session ranges between 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
• Your new desired behaviors will be reinforced with a CD that will be shipped to you.
• This CD is given to you to listen to every day for 21 days following your session. It is a reinforcement CD you’re your subconscious mind, and will fine tune your inner self with the accomplishments and changes you wish to incorporate into your life.
  • Only the positive suggestions with guided relaxation will be recorded for you to hear. This way every time you listen to the recording you will only get positive reinforcements and suggestions — it’s like having a new session every time you listen.
  • This is the time we are working with the subconscious mind tuning into your inner self & empowering you to accomplish what you want. I only record the new positive programming with relaxation.
  • Every time you listen to the CD it is like going thru another session.
  • While listening to this CD you can just rest comfortably in a chair or prior to going off to sleep. The positive suggestions from this CD will stay within your subconscious for positive changes and general wellness.

The usefulness of Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that allows changes in behavior and shifts within the mind. I believe that we all have the power within ourselves to make positive life changes. Hypnosis only works if the client is fully willing to make the desired changes on his or her own, and have a belief system in place. The client must be willing to listen to their reinforcement CD, and must be focused and pay attention to the suggestions that have been incorporated into their personal recording. These positive change suggestions will then process from the subconscious to the conscious mind, and only then will those changes be able to occur.

What marker for progress can be followed?

It is important to remember that all habits are likely to have been created over a period of time. It is important to have patience, and notice the small steps of progress each day achieved to reach your desired level of success. Challenges can be met and changes will occur. Just be persistent and allow yourself time to progress.

NOTE: Never listen to any Hypnosis Recording while driving

5 - Phase Abreactive Therapeutic Hypnosis, also known as 5-PATH™, is a systematic and universal approach to Hypnosis. This innovative approach of conducting Hypnosis sessions was developed by Mr. Calvin Banyan, MA, BCH, CI, the director and founder of the Banyan Hypnosis Center in Minnesota. All 5-PATH™ Hypnotists must be qualified trained, proficient and certified through the Banyan Hypnosis Center.

Cal Banyan felt the need for a “Universal Therapy”. He wanted to have the ability to teach his students how to have Hypnosis applied to the majority of the challenges presented by his clients. With this inspired viewpoint brought forth an extraordinary process that offers certified Hypnotists the capability to assist clients with challenges by utilizing 5-PATH™, that they were unable to achieve success with before.

5-PATH™ utilizes a technique which is applied towards the clients’ challenges within the 5 phases. The sessions are usually finished within 3-4 visits. There are additional sessions utilizing further phases of 5-PATH™ for secondary gain issues, however, this is not necessary for every client.

5-PATH™ is a powerful and innovative approach in Hypnosis today. By utilizing a process that will facilitate changes in negative thinking and feelings that have been challenging clients for so long; 5-PATH™ brings forth a new positive and affirming outlook towards a enhanced, improved and more contented way of life.

Reiki is a gentle hands on healing achieved by the movement of energy within the body. Reiki Practitioners should be certified and can only receive their attunements by a Reiki Master. The Reiki Practitioners hands are activated so healing energy can be channeled via their hands into the clients’ body. This positive flow of energy releases blockages within the body. Chakras become aligned and assist the body to begin to heal itself naturally. Reiki has been used for hundreds of years to help heal, balance, reduce stress, calm and enlighten.
