Feel a Feeling by Choice® with the Magic of Word Triangles®
There is a substantial obligation for attention, focus, concentration, and observational skills that can potentially overwhelm a practitioner. However, based on my experience, the Higher Mind skillset comprehensively covers all of these skills and makes it easier to acquire advanced sharp observational skills.
The Higher Mind is a concept that is integral to human evolution and to the exploration of our consciousness. The Higher Mind is the part of the human mind that is capable of transcending the animal instinct thus transcending fear and worries.

Is Trance Necessary for Hypnosis? Exploring Waking State Hypnosis
When we think of hypnosis, we often imagine a person in a trance-like state, eyes closed and deeply relaxed.
But is this the only way to be hypnotized?
And is trance necessary for hypnosis to work?
In hypnosis, trance refers to a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility. It’s often induced through guided imagery or progressive muscle relaxation techniques.
But here’s the thing: we’re being hypnotized all the time without even realizing it. Advertising, social media, and even our own thoughts can influence our behavior and beliefs on a subconscious level.
This means that hypnosis isn’t limited to just the traditional trance state.
Enter waking state hypnosis (WSH).

Can We Cure the Incurable!
My latest exploration of the mind integrating hypnosis is regarding the perception of the mind of a patient who is told they have a disease which is incurable.
- What is incurable?
- How is incurable determined?
- Are there ways of altering the word incurable?
- Can we reduce this word incurable or extend life with hypnosis
Enough with the samples!
Join me for a presentation to explore this statement, “There is no Cure!”
- How do we address this statement to extend a patient’s life?
- Can Hypnosis add some time to the Patient’s prognosis?
If the patient is told they have 6 months to live, will the patient’s perception increase or decrease or can this statement be removed entirely!
Allow me to share with you some of the greatest exploration and writings I have to date.
