Bringing Hypnosis to Steemit

I am very happy with my experience connecting with this revolutionary community. After receiving a lot of interest from others, I have decided to open my business for the first time with all of you here on Steemit & the blockchain. Hypnosis has changed my life so I am excited to share it beyond my local area of where I live!

Every two years I renew my membership to be a part of the ACHE board

I am a certified clinical hypnotherapist & hypnotist with more than 600 hours of in class training. I started my journey practicing hypnosis in late 2011. I was inspired to learn more when it seemed like hypnosis could awaken a unique aspect of each individual that I had never seen before. In 2012 I joined the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners and have been a part of the board ever since.

This is my wallet certificate, so I can use it while I am traveling

In the beginning of the year of 2016 I decided to add to my education by taking a 500 hour course in hypnotherapy. In June, 16th, 2016 I completed my course; With a new knowledge on how to transform people lives using hypnosis. @hypnosisawaken will be my official business account, for keeping all business transactions transparent. My first and personal account on Steemit is @ballinconscious.

This is my certificate to the school that I went to for my 500 hours in hypnotherapy training

The Future of Steemit+Business=

I feel like this platform is paving the way for all the future of social media; Much like bitcoin has paved the way for all other digital currencies. Steemit is very important to me k, ; I wish to see this platform grow, along with myself at the same time. To do this I feel it is important for steemit to better incorporate businesses into their platform that are unrelated to the crypto world.

I am pro SBD (not sure why it is being questioned lately if it is necessary), as this makes an easier format for doing business using the steemit platform. Lately I have been realizing how Steemit is the perfect platform to promote businesses, since it is a social media site & a currency combined into the same thing.

I seek to be one of the first pioneers of this business model, to help support my business and promote the use of Steem/SBD; To better strengthen the Steemit economy and those who use it to connect with others.

My business name is Hypnosis Awakening, since steemit only allows 16 character screen names, I have chosen hypnosisawaken instead. @hypnosisawaken will be posting about all things related to Hypnosis & hypnotherapy.

Also as stated before I will now be doing commissioned audio recording & live video session for all that desire to change their lives with hypnosis. This will be my first time opening up my business to the online world; Since all my sessions & advertisement of my business have been only to my local to my area.

What is Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis:

Since the nature of hypnosis is so adaptable to every person and situation, it is described in many different ways. There are different depths of trance that each one of us can go into. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we all experience multiple times a day; Usually this daily trance that we experience is a light to medium trance.

I would describe it as a focused clear state of mind, open to all suggestions that the individual judges positively! When in the state of hypnosis, it puts the subconscious mind more in the forefront. I will give you two examples of different definitions by different Hypnotist I have studied:

"Hypnosis is when the mind is doing one thing and the body is doing another"~My teacher, Bette Epstein~

"Hypnosis is a state of mind in which the critical faculty of the human mind is bypassed, and selective thinking established." ~Dave Elman~

Very different examples but both still very accurate. There are many more definitions by many other talented hypnotists and hypnotherapists. I will be explaining more in depth about what hypnosis is in one of my next posts.

Hypnotherapy:

There are two main uses of hypnosis: entertainment and therapeutic. Any time that hypnosis is used in a therapeutic way, to help a person change patterns in their life that they are no longer benefiting from, this would be called hypnotherapy.

I have no problem with using it as entertainment, except for the fact that it can distort what hypnosis really is to some people; Besides that fact, hypnosis used for entertainment can be quite fun. My focus is to help people fulfill whatever goal they have to become a more balanced version of themselves. So this can be anything from just experiencing a new sensation to expanding past a problem within one's life.

How can Hypnotherapy Help me?

Hypnosis is basically using your inner resources to achieve any goal that you desire! Since mental and physical are interconnected, hypnosis can help with both psychosomatic and physical problems in a person's life.

I customize my sessions based on the individuals goals and desires. From there we decide what type of session would fit them best. There are many different types of sessions I do for people, some of these modalities include:

• Progressive relaxation
• Guided meditation
• Hypnoanalysis
• NLP
• Transforming therapy
• Regression therapy
• Past life regression
• Post hypnotic suggestion.

Hypnosis can help with, Stopping Smoking, Relationships, Weight Loss and Weight Management. Fear of Flying, Insomnia and Sleeplessness, Public Speaking, Memory, Allergies, Exam Help, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, nervousness, changing habits, Motivation, Sports Psychology, Pain Management, Phobias, Confidence Building, Blushing, Anxiety and Stress Management, Stuttering, Financial Abundance, Fitness and Health, Sexual Problems, Nail Biting,Procrastination. Bruxism (Teeth or Jaw Grinding),Comfort Eating, changing habits, and so much more.

I will be doing commissioned audio recording and live video sessions for people online. Both of these will be personalized to your specific goals and needs.

• Commissioned Audio Recordings-This is will be your personal recording customized to whatever subject you would like to focus on in your life. The advantage of this type of session is that you can listen to it as many times as you want to, becoming more effective each time you listen to it.
• Live Video Session- This type of session will also be a personalized one based on what parts of a persons life they want to expand. I will be on video and/or audio doing the session for you. Depending on the session and your personal desire, I can have you interact with my verbally while you are in the state of hypnosis or not if that is more comfortable for you. If a person wants to stay anonymous that is also acceptable, they can choose to opt out on mic and/or video. If they would like to opt out of both their voice and face, then they can just talk to me using text while they watch and hear me on video.

I currently accept Steem, SBD, BTC & USD for payment of my hypnosis sessions.
I am also open to trading, I am currently looking for a web designer for building my website and a graphic designer for creating my logo. If you have something else that you would like to trade that I may be interested in just let me know.

Also I will be having a give away contest for a free hypnosis session in one of my next posts I will be making.
