The Power of Hypnosis

When people hear the word Hypnosis, they often think about someone being made to run around on a stage clucking like a chicken, barking like a dog or doing something extremely embarrassing for the sake of entertainment.

The truth about hypnosis and hypnotherapy when used in service for transformation and healing, is not even anything close to that.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about hypnosis and how I recently became a Certified Hypnotist. You’ll hear how I’m wicked excited to be bringing brain science, subconscious reprogramming and Spiritual Mentoring together in my work, because it kinda’ feels like having a super power!

Join me as we break down some of the myths and facts surrounding hypnosis and also talk about some of the most frequently asked questions that people have about this healing modality. We also dive into how hypnosis can be a transformational tool for someone who is ready to create deeper subconscious changes and more supportive beliefs.

Keep in mind, when it comes to training the brain, creating new neural networks and shifting the mind from fear to Love (using both hypnosis & spiritual mentoring) - consistency and commitment are a crucial, non-negotiable key!

If you want to use hypnosis to release old patterns of thinking, rewrite old stories, reprogram your subconscious mind and rewire your brain to create new empowering habits, then there’s just no half-assing it.

Personally, I want to use hypnosis to “de-hypnotize” people, so that they can release and remove the old BS (beliefs, stories, blocks & bullshit) that they've been told or continue to tell about themselves.

I want to help people create new positive ways of thinking and find freedom from unwanted behaviors (or whatever is holding them back), so they can transform from the inside out.

I want to give them, through this offering of Spiritual Hypno-Mentoring, the opportunity to rewrite and rewire their brains with the glory of who they really are and are truly capable of being.. So you can transform Your Story to Your Glory!

This work is a journey from fear back to Love and Hypnosis is another way for me to share and extend that Love to more people all over the world.
