<p>What an awesome day.  I have the morning off today, so I’m pretty excited about that.  I wanted to connect<br />
with you all to begin the day.  I can’t think of a better way to begin.  So let’s set an intention for the day.  Whatever<br />
you would like to accomplish today, just take a moment now to imagine it.  Use all your senses while you picture the<br />
best way to live this day.  What will you smell, taste, feel, see, and hear?<br />
Imagine the outcome at the end of the day.  Don’t worry about the details of how you will<br />
accomplish what you set out to do, just visualize the outcome, the result, the<br />
end of the day.  Give yourself room to be<br />
surprised at how it all plays out throughout the day.</p>
<p>Set your intention high.</p>
<p>This is a moment of power and change.  Grab it.<br />
Don’t waste time.  Live today the way you would want to live it.</p>
<p>Live as<br />
if all things were possible….because they are.</p>
<p>If you want to, let me know how your day<br />
turned out.  I hope you all uplift<br />
someone today, including yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you or your loved ones are playing baseball this summer, good for you.  It&#8217;s such a great game.</p>
<p>Did you know that I am certified as a mental coach?  That&#8217;s right.  I coach athletes.  I coach all different sports.  Right now, I&#8217;m busy with baseball players.</p>
<p>So much of the game of baseball is mental.  The athletes have coaches to help them physically develop their talent and skill, but many teams are missing that key ingredient&#8230;..mental coaching.  No matter how talented a player is, if they are dealing with an emotional issue, or a blockage of some sort, they just seem to fail.</p>
<p>Hypnosis can help.  It makes it easy to get back on track right away.</p>
<p>It is my belief  that EVERY team should have a mental coach on staff. </p>
<p>The Rockies sure could use the help!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you find it frustrating when you can’t find your car keys as you are rushing out the door…</p>
<p>If you avoid people because you can’t remember their names….</p>
<p>If you find yourself walking into a room and not remembering why you went there…</p>
<p>…..then, you are certainly not alone! </p>
<p>This kind of everyday forgetfulness can be a huge hassle, a waste of time, and often embarrassing.   <strong>You may be surprised to learn that </strong><strong>toxins</strong><strong> could be the culprit behind frequent or occasional forgetfulness.</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Too many heavy metals could be poisoning your brain!</span></p>
<ul>
<li>You drink a little lead every time you sip your daily coffee out of some <strong>ceramic mugs</strong>.</li>
<li>The newspaper ink that smudges your fingers often contains lead.</li>
<li>Batteries, cigarette smoke, motor oil, paint, pesticides, <strong>refined grains</strong>, rubber carpet backing, tires, processed meat, evaporated milk, all are <strong>cadmium</strong> sources.</li>
<li>Adhesives, air conditioner filters, cosmetics, dental fillings, fabric softeners, cereals, body powders, sea food, medications are common sources of <strong>mercury</strong><strong>.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Nickel</strong> is found in fertilizers, butter, stainless steel cookware, tea, vegetable shortening, hydrogenated fats and oils, and imitation whipped cream.</li>
<li><strong>Aluminum</strong> is found in aluminum foil, animal feed, aspirin, baking powder, drinking water, salt, toothpaste, vanilla, deodorants, cans, beer, and cheese.</li>
<li>There is<strong> </strong><strong>arsenic</strong><strong> </strong>in<strong> </strong>insect sprays, coal combustion, treated wood and lumber products.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Good news!!!!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">There <span style="color: #000000;">is</span> a solution!</span></p>
<p>  There is a simple solution to eliminating built up toxins in our bodies, balancing our energies and helping the body to function on a high level of wellness.</p>
<p><strong>Ionic Detoxification Treatment</strong></p>
<p>  These treatments not only help with brain function, but can also substantially reduce or even eliminate conditions like headaches, rashes, dark circles under the eyes, swollen joints, aches and pains in the body, and fatigue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s springtime!  You know what that means, right?  It’s time to get ready for summer.  Take a look in the mirror, is your body ready for shorts, tank tops, and a bathing suit?  If not, I have some good news for you.</p>
<p>I can help you.</p>
<p>We all know that it takes fewer calories and more exercise to get the desired results you want.  But many of us have tried diets that work while we’re on them and then afterwards, the weight seems to creep back up and we’re right back where we started…or even worse.</p>
<p>There are ways to prevent that from happening!  I want to help you reach your goal, and live your life free from that unwanted excess weight.</p>
<p>Using<strong> hypnosis</strong> is a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">very</span> effective way to loss weight and maintain that smaller self.    What I have found over the years is there is usually an emotional tie as the core issue of weight gain.  With hypnosis, we can get rid of that blockage and wieght loss becomes much easier&#8230;.almost effortless.</p>
<p><strong>Detoxing</strong> is an important part of any diet program.  Releasing toxins that are stored in the fat cells, allows the fat cells to melt away.</p>
<p>Begin today to create that summer body you want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that most diets will work&#8230;.while you&#8217;re on them.  The trouble begins once you&#8217;re off of the diet and eating normally.  That&#8217;s when the pounds and inches return.  It&#8217;s a very frustrating process that many of us go through.  It&#8217;s a roller coaster of weight loss and weight gain over and over.  And it seems that the weight gain is always greater than the weight loss.</p>
<p>Are you ready to get off that roller coaster?  Ready to have permanent results? </p>
<p>There is a reason that most diets do not have long-term results.  Diets and exercise alone aren&#8217;t enough.  If you only approach weight loss from a physical standpoint, you are missing an important element &#8211; the mind.  In the part of the mind that we call the unconscious, there are programs that run you.  These programs are formed from your individual experiences, background, exposure and understanding.  They are there for your protection.  So each individual has their own unique set of programs that are running them. </p>
<p>For someone who needs to lose weight, there is a program that says it&#8217;s appropriate for that person to be this weight and size right now.  The reason that program is there differs from person to person.  When you can access that program and change it, then weight loss can be permanent.  That&#8217;s where HYPNOTHERAPY comes in.</p>
<p>Using HYPNOTHERAPY can put an end to the roller coaster wieght loss ride once and for all.  Don&#8217;t hesitate.  If you are serious about losing weight, let me help you.  Together, we can make a huge difference in your health and well being.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sound of the drill, the smell of the office, the possible pain&#8230;.these are some of the things that keep people away from the dentist.  Having regular dental check ups is very important to one&#8217;s health.  Dental hygiene is as important as any other personal hygiene.  When you have proper dental care, it affects not only your appearance, but your overall health and well being.</p>
<p>Many people find themselves putting off going to the dentist because of fear.  However, dental problems don&#8217;t get better by ignoring them and hoping they go away.  Usually, they just get worse, more costly, and more painful.  Also, the procedures can be much more extensive.</p>
<p><strong>Hypnotherapy</strong> is used world-wide as a way for people to overcome their fear of going to the dentist.  It is safe.  It is quick.  It is effective.  And it doesn&#8217;t have any risk of side affects like sedation does.  To put it simply&#8230;it works! </p>
<p>Many people have found that after just one hypnotherapy session, their fears were completely eliminated.  One client said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand it, but now I look forward to going to the dentist.  It&#8217;s wierd, but I like going there now.&#8221;  Another client said,  &#8220;I had put off going to the dentist for many years.  I had a mouth-full of problems, but I just hated going to the dentist so much that I would break into a sweat just thinking about it.  After just one hypnotherapy session, I completely changed.  Now the dentist and I are good friends.  My teeth don&#8217;t hurt, and I feel so much better about me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many dentists recommend hypnotherapy as a means to relax during dental procedures.  It makes working in the mouth so much easier, faster, and more effecient if the person is relaxed and cooperative. </p>
<p>Unlike sedation, a person who uses hypnotherapy doesn&#8217;t have to feel drugged afterward.  They can walk out of the dentist&#8217;s office feeling like themselves right away, getting on with their day immediately. </p>
<p>All in all, hypnotherapy is a good choice for people with any kind of fear, but especially fear of going to the dentist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you sticking to your resolutions for this year?  If not, it&#8217;s a good idea to regroup and start over.  It&#8217;s not too late for that.  You might need to tweak your resolution in order to be able to accomplish it.  Hang in there.  Every moment of every day is a moment of power and choice.  You can choose to begin again at any time. </p>
<p>I would encourage you to take hold of your strength and power NOW.  Don&#8217;t let another day go by without focusing on what you have set out to accomplish this year, this month, this day.  Not only focus on that, but do something that will bring you closer to your goal. </p>
<p>Remember that the habits of today form the results tomorrow.  Simply do what it takes to get you where you want to go.  Begin a good habit today. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m here if you need extra help.  Many people find that hypnotherapy is the way to overcome the unwanted habits and make room for the new habits you want to form.  If you find that you need a little boost, please don&#8217;t waste another minute, call for you appointment today.</p>
<p>Make it a great one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each and every one of us is being exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals and metals.  They are everywhere.  Just by breathing, eating, bathing, drinking water, using cleaning products, skin and hair care products, and taking medication, our bodies are bombarded with toxins.  Every day we are exposed repeatedly to toxins in common forms like breakfast cereal, toothpaste, drinking hot coffee or tea in a glazed mug, (there could be lead in the glaze),  soap, shampoo, deodorant, hair dye, newspapers, magazines, dry cleaning, new carpets, and freshly painted walls.</p>
<p>Right now, because of this constant exposure, our bodies are having to store these harmful toxins.  Studies show that between 400 and 800 toxins are being stored in our bodies because we are accumulating them faster than our bodies can process and get rid of them. Every person alive, no matter where on the globe they live, is carrying an overload of toxins in the body.</p>
<p>So, what do they do to us?  Well, toxins accumulate in the fat cells, joints, and major organs such as the liver, kidneys, and brain, in our thyroid and adrenals, in our lymph system, and throughout our nervous system.  They make us sick!</p>
<p> So symptoms, then, can begin with aches and pains and stiffness in the joints, fatigue, lack of energy, foggy thinking, headaches, rashes, allergic reactions, digestive problems, elimination problems, loss of enthusiasm for life, and develop into even more severe problems. Toxic chemicals can cause a long list of health issues. Over-exposure to carcinogens can cause cancer.  Other chemicals can cause birth defects, developmental problems to the fetus, and hormonal dysfunction.  High blood pressure, asthma, peripheral nerve damage, immune system dysfunction, deficiencies in brain functions, including memory, attention, IQ, and learning have all been associated with toxic exposure.</p>
<p>Some toxic compounds are eliminated quickly from our bodies, while others can stay for years.  Some stay in our bodies for a lifetime.  Arsenic, for example, is excreted from the body within about 72 hours of exposure.  Other chemicals, like DDT, remain in the body for 50 years or more.</p>
<p>Limiting your exposure to toxic compounds will go a long way in protecting yourself from the harmful effects of toxins.  Organic produce and fabrics, filtered water, PBA-free plastic water bottles, air purifiers, and other available products will assist you in limiting your exposure.  Changes in your diet, exercise, and lifestyle can also reduce your toxic intake. </p>
<p>Along with prevention, there are ways to eliminate toxins that are in the body.  There are chelation treatments to help the body get rid of metal toxicity.  These haven’t proved very effective in children, however. </p>
<p>There is another way to help the body eliminate those toxins.  Through treatments called ionic footbath detoxification, toxins are removed from the body.  The treatments are simple and pleasant and quick.  You simply put your feet in warm water for about 20 minutes and at the end of the treatment, the water is a yucky color of brown with floaty stuff on top.</p>
<p>The doctors who developed this process recommend that a series of treatments be done in order to clean out the various systems of harmful toxins.  A series of 10-12 treatments once a year will give your body a much needed boost in dealing with the constant exposure to harmful toxins.</p>
