Many of us relish the telling of a good tale, and we paint a colorful episode of our daily struggles, operating on the notion that a satisfying story has to comprise difficulties, moments of angst, worry and uncertainty. That is an aspect of life, that the more ups and downs, the more interesting the picture will be; however, why not paint a colorful picture of where you want to go and what you want to manifest? Why are people so often stuck on the negative stories of the past or present? Most of us are interested in moving forward and would find our friends’ dreams and plans intriguing and perhaps inspiring. Try spending a day refraining from telling the story of woe and telling instead the tale of your plans and visions, and how they’re already coming into being.

Clearing and releasing old habits and recognizing past, negative experiences are useful, but I like to focus more on moving toward empowerment and manifesting a client’s goals and future self.

I do this through Alchemical Hypnotherapy, taking clients on a journey to a safe place and drawing forth the Higher Self, Future Self, and aspects they wish to manifest, such as an Inventive Career Self, a Courageous World Traveler, or a Lovable Partner (either within a client’s own self or one a client wishes to attract).

Through visualization and feeling, hearing, and being a new reality or self, one can bring this new way of living into one’s daily experience. This is alchemical in that one’s entire orientation is changed through the transformation of beliefs and the opening to possibilities.
