The Greatest Hypnotist In Your Life
Stop rehearsing your old stories. I remember an inspiring hypnotist I trained with a while back saying: “stop being authored and start authoring”. These words and the message they convey stuck with me. “That’s the story of my life”.. “that’s just who I am”… we know these sentences; we all know someone who said something along these…

Solar Impulse
A few months ago, I read a book written by Bertrand Piccard, the pilot of Solar Impulse, about better living. As an aside, he is also a well-known psychiatrist who happens to use hypnosis both in his practice as well as for himself… But I am getting distracted. Beyond the fact that it was a…

“Know Thyself”
“Know Thyself” is possibly one of the most well-known aphorisms of all times. It was supposedly written at the entrance of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, in Ancient Greece. Many thinkers, philosophers and writers throughout the centuries attempted to decipher the meaning underlying these two simple words. What did the Ancients mean? What kind…

Our Amazing Brain
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rationale mind is a faithful servant.” ~Albert Einstein This quote really resonates with me, and I think it is a waste that our modern society has cut out of the picture most of the intuitive to rely almost exclusively on a rationale modus operandi. I strongly believe that we should strive to reconcile and promote…

The Imagination Game
There is a word which keeps coming back every time I talk about hypnosis, yet is not present enough in people’s lives. This word is: imagination. Now, this is just a word, but when you think about it, when you think about what imagination REALLY evokes for you, it opens a limitless internal universe… Imagination is the faculty of the…

How Do We (Really) Learn?
How do we learn? How do we build knowledge? What do we really know, and don’t know? Are there not things that you thought you did not know, yet somehow discovered you did?And reversely, how many times did you assume you knew how something worked, but actually when challenged or put on the spot, realised…
