The following article is from Randal Churchill’s book, Regression Hypnotherapy
A hypnotic regression is a process in which a person in hypnosis recalls a memory or series of memories from the subconscious mind. While in hypnosis a person’s awareness is heightened and memories can become much more vivid. Also, there is easier access to the emotions, barring suggestions for detachment. (More…)

The rational, intellectual part of the mind is amazing - constantly juggling external information and situations, sorting through facts, making choices and often on fast forward as we muscle our way through the day. It can be rich, stimulating and exhausting all at once. Then we might throw ourselves into some mind-numbing activity like television, social media or internet surfing as a way to relax and put on the breaks. What we may be short-circuiting is our connection to a deeper, inner awareness that links us to our greatest potential. (More…)
Read moreWe wield, each one of us, much more power and influence than we realize. Every thought we think, every action we take, adds to the collective pool of harmony or chaos. We are constantly influencing that balance and most often without any idea of the power we bring to bear, or of how we effect the balance of our own well being-our bodies, minds and spirits.
The process of healing our wounds and finding our own unique path is a noble undertaking that enriches not only ourselves, but the world around us. (More…)

Vernon Howard once said, "No action is more fascinating than the action of self-transformation. Nothing on earth can compare with its drama or value." In these often difficult and challenging times, reframing our perspective from a focus on the burdens weighing us down to a focus on empowering choices, can begin moving us forward in a positive direction.
Every situation that confronts us leaves us with a choice. We can be a victim (of circumstances, people, attitudes) which drains life energy and leads to illness, depression or apathy; or choose to take positive action, beginning with taking charge of thoughts. If you think you can't do something you can be fairly certain that you're right. If you think you can do something, even though challenging, you may also find that you're right. (More…)
Read moreHypnosis is not a magic wand - it's a tool to help us to get deeper in touch with all the parts of our mind and potential. It can connect us with our inner knowing and even the collective unconscious. A dear friend and mentor of mine used to say, "Don't look to me, look to your own inner teacher. That's your guide." We are all connected to that source of inner knowing and wisdom. Hypnosis is an amazing tool to help in this process. (More…)
Excerpted from the updated and expanded 2nd Edition of Become the Dream by Randal Churchill
To get powerful, lasting and fairly rapid results in therapy, it is essential that the methods employed reach and affect the subconscious mind. The subconscious houses the emotions, imagination, memory, habits, intuition and instincts. It also regulates our autonomic body functions, is the part of the mind that dreams, and is the pathway to the superconscious. It is the very core or essence of how we experience ourselves and the world. Meaningful personal transformation, whether in or out of therapy, results from a shift in the subconscious mind (More…)
Read moreThe vast majority of writings comparing and contrasting the use of direct and indirect suggestions in hypnosis refer to the structure of language, and may sometimes reference the timing, tone and volume of the voice. But there is much beyond the way we word suggestions and how we use our voices that can have a major suggestive impact. These impacts are something we need to be keenly aware of in order to give maximum benefit to the influence of suggestions (More…)

A state of intensified attention and receptiveness, and an increased responsiveness to an idea or to a set of ideas."
"Primarily a special psychological state with certain physiological attributes, resembling sleep only superficially and marked by the functioning of the individual at a level of awareness other than the ordinary conscious state."
These disparate definitions of hypnosis bear witness to an observation by psychology researcher Martin Orne: although there is no widely accepted definition of hypnosis, considerable consensus exists at a descriptive level. In other words, "Don't ask me to define it, but I'll tell you how it works and what it can do." (More...)
The present is the only time we ever really have, and if we don't live in the present, we don't even scratch the surface of our potential. Two common negative feelings that keep us out of the present are guilt and worry. Guilt keeps us stuck in the past losing energy over something that already happened, and worry is a non-productive mulling over of some negative possibility in the future that may never happen. When we're working with a client who tends to get stuck in either of those states we can help that person switch their focus to self-reflection, hypnosis and possibly Gestalt to either heal the past or impact the future in a positive way.

KR: I think that hypnotherapy has great value in the area of certain educational models, in reducing stress and helping people access information that has laid dormant. I think it will also re-empower people to work with their personal altered states, such as artists or people in business following their intuition or creativity.
Biofeedback is a form of self-help that will probably continue to increase and will be one of the cutting edges where hypnosis will be applied. And as these things move into an even more slightly esoteric or leading edge, medicine itself will come to accept hypnotherapy as a standard method of practice in medicine. Hypnotherapy will probably become the real bridge between many of the holistic art forms and alternative therapies--truly re-empowering people to retake command of their own sense of direction for both mental and physical well-being.
