Adversity

Sound Healing Hypnosis Goes To College

April 5, 2018 by Mark Shepard

Staying the course: It’s about hanging in there when you WANT to give up… when other people WOULD give up… But YOU keep your mind focused on where you want to be, what you want to do and who you truly want to be…

Hey There Transformation Nation!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here at Honest Hypnosis, but I have not been idle! I have been deep in the grooves of my path with heart STAYING THE COURSE!

  • I’ve been continuing to develop and integrate my hypnosis, neuro linguistics and personal transformation work with my music.
  • I’ve been learning how to do some serious video editing in Adobe Premiere (seriously anxiety provoking program! Just today I “had to use my CRUSH anxiety tools” to manage the frustration and stress of attempting my first 4 camera edit!)…
  • I’ve been studying film making, videography, sound recording and anything else that can help me to get my music and my message OUT into the world where it can do some good.

In the midst of all that, I had the privilege of doing a bit of a workshop recently on Overtone Singing and Neuro Linguistics as well as a Sound Healing Hypnosis Session with a group of Mercy College Speech & Hearing Pathology students and professors.

Since it came out pretty well (in spite of one of my camera’s running out of storage in the middle of it), I was able to edit the S.H.H. portion of the program for YOUR personal use and enjoyment. The theme is loosely woven around the concept of “Stay the Course,” “hang in there” “You Can Make It Through This!” which some of the students asked for when I invited them to share some areas in general they could use some positive suggestions in.

Since it was mid-term crunch time there was just a wee bit of stress and anxiety in the room.

So, that’s where I went with this session. I’ve used it myself a few times and it’s arguably one of my best hypnosis programs ever… and it’s FREEE!

Enjoy!      – Mark

p.s. Special thanks to Dr. Shari Berkowitz, Associate Professor, Program in Communication Disorders, Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry NY for inviting me to speak AND sing!

P.P.S. Got anxiety? First. Watch/Listen to the video…

Second. Check out my powerful and easy to master home study course: CRUSH anxiety NOW!

(It’s how I overcame my own social anxiety, stage fright, shyness, panic attacks and how I manage to keep my own anxiety down to minuscule and easy to manage levels…)

Third. Have an awesome rest of the day!!!

Conversational Hypnosis: Overcoming The Victim Mind Cage

May 3, 2017 by Mark Shepard

Today, I want to share with you some real stuff.

This gets pretty intense but I think it needs to be said. Please “get” that everything in this video applies to ME as well as to my clients, my students as well as YOU.

We are all in this together.

And by “this” I mean this healing journey. Fortunately or unfortunately OUR agenda for healing and transforming our lives doesn’t always co-incide with what the reality of healing and transformation often brings us… In other words, sometimes it ain’t pretty or easy.

Please watch the whole thing because the stuff in the beginning is the setup for the stuff at the end. Take from it whatever you can and leave the rest. If you’re not in the mood to work deep today, at least give a listen to the Transformation Tune below the video…

Please remember that this is an actual conversational hypnosis session that was inspired by some of the stuff folks are experiencing in my “Beyond Beliefs” course. Everything I say is purposeful. How I say it is as well. What I can’t control is how YOU interpret it. Please interpret it in the best possible way for your own healing.

Your song of the Day: Song #349, “Can You Imagine?”

Trump Anxiety: The Petty Tyrant Technique

February 2, 2017 by Mark Shepard

What I’m talking about in the video when I reference the “Petty Tyrant” is the use by the Ancient Toltec Seers of a person of power (even over life and death) to rid the self of self importance and to prepare the seer for his or her inevitable appointment with infinity.

What Donald Trump is offering this country is the opportunity to wake up to the fact that our rights, freedoms and way of life are NOT guaranteed. They may  be guaranteed under the Constitution but they are not guaranteed by life, the universe, whatever. We still have to guard them with our intent. But being afraid and anxious robs us of our own internal power. The opportunity is to be fluid and formless like water flowing over rocks.

When we indulge in anxiety we lose sight of the practical and immediate actions we can take to transform our own personal world.

This may be deeper than you want to go right now but please be patient with yourself and your feelings right now. This is a time more than ever to practice the anxiety relief tools that deliver rapid results…. IF we practice them. Having a convenient petty tyrant offers us the opportunity and the impetus to PRACTICE.

If you are ready and would like to go deeper with me… here’s how

Getting Through Hard Times With Hypnosis

January 28, 2017 by Mark Shepard

It’s Day 20 of the 90 Day Transformation Challenge.

One of my favorite Transformation Nation members let me know recently that he took a MASSIVELY courageous and stressful action step recently and moved out of his family home. Like me, he’s a musician and he was struggling with anxiety. But over the  years we’ve stayed in touch he has managed to get through some pretty tough life situations. Right in the middle of his recent move (and we all know how stressful that is), a dental issue came up and it was really painful and ill timed and tough. Can you relate? I know I can.

And he GOT through it. It worked out ok.

And I’m so damn proud of him that I want to share that much of his story so you know that YOU TOO are not alone when you’re going through tough stuff.

A lot of us find it really, really hard just LIVING in this particular culture at this particular time in history. Don’t you?

Many of us here in the TranceFormation Nation  are introverts. Highly sensitive people who FEEL stuff deeply. Empaths. Healers. Artists. Musicians. Life long learners. True Scientists. Architects. Spiritual but not religious. We just KNOW that there HAS to be something MORE. Something more to this life than just paying the bills, watching the latest movies and getting laid. We read, we question. We Search for answers and alternative solutions. And sometimes the “answer” is, “the only way out is THROUGH (or should we say through doing something such as taking action).”

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you what I shared with him because I think it’s something we all need to remember (including myself).

This would be a good self hypnosis affirmation for whenever you might be going through hard times as well. Ready? Hear. It. Is.

You got THROUGH it. You’re gonna make it. This is the often shitty, painful truth about life. What does not kill us really does makes us stronger. It’s not a cliche. It’s the way we’re designed.

We’re designed to survive some pretty tough shit. YOU are designed to overcome adversity. That’s what it’s all about.

And we, as a culture, have had it pretty soft for a little while.

But underneath we are tough as nails… and it’s such a deep part of our psychology to be adaptable and able to overcome stress and challenges that if we don’t have it from the environment we have to create it from within…

You are doing well and I’m proud of you. You’re doing it. You’re working on your shit and living your life right through it.

Cowabungah!
