Perspective: Hypnosis instead of Gastric Bypass with the same results?

I just read a story about a woman in Spain
who had hypnosis intended to have the
results of Gastric Band Surgery.

She said she had tried every diet and every
workout plan, and none of it seemed to work
for her, so she decided to try the hypnotic
option.

Apparently it seems to be working for her.
She is losing three pounds a week.

There are a few things that come to mind for
me about this situation:

1. If she believed that the surgery was
completed, there is also the potential that
there could be some pitfalls that come from
when someone has the surgery. Anyone who
is in a hypnotic state is more suggestible
than someone who is not, so extraordinary
care should be made as to what the person
in hypnosis hears and experiences. In
addition, if one is mindful of any potential
difficulties from the procedure they might
also be addressed through suggestions to
help ensure a positive and healthful outcome.

2. If she tried every diet and every exercise
program, then the question that comes for me
is: is there something that hasn't been
addressed for her?

I had hypnosis for weight loss long before
I ever became a hypnotist. And, while it
worked, it only worked for a time. I suspect
a couple of things as to why it didn't work
in the long run, and I suspect that it had
a lot to do with the fact that I believe it
worked with my behaviors, and not the
underlying causes.

One just has to look at what happened with
Carney Wilson, and see that a procedure
like that might occur more like a "fix" than
a resolution.

Looking at oneself is likely to be uncomfortable,
and maybe even painful. But when those things
that are uncomfortable or painful aren't
addressed, or in some way released, they
may still live in the body, and the results
could potentially be any number of things from
a headache to extra weight, to any dis-ease in
the body you can think of.

It's always good to have options...and I think
it great for her that she investigated it.
Given the results, it certainly seemed to be a
worthy consideration. How awesome to see a
story that can show how amazing hypnosis can be.

As with anything, we don't always know what we
don't know. It is wise to move forward with
caution and questions and remember that all
opinions are formulated from perspectives. And,
since perspectives can vary, so can your "mileage."

If you have any questions about hypnosis, please
feel free to ask. You can also see a list of
over 140 things hypnosis can be used for in the
PDF section of JoLoPe.net.

Have a great day, and if you are available at
6PM California time today, please come and join
me and @PamelaGlasner for our show this evening.

Perspective: Collective Soul and Harmony

I loved this video...and loved how choreographed it
is...it feels like all of the pieces are in perfect
harmony with each other.

Here's to your own personal harmony within your world.

Perpective: Food for Thought

(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
ONLY USE WITH PERMISSION.)
I don't know about you, but eating healthy
isn't always easy for me. I have phases,
and the more I become aware of things, the
easier it becomes for me to make better
choices.

The previous video from the Health Ranger
really got me thinking, and I am working
on the idea that taking care of myself by
taking care of the foods I eat can be a
stronger idea than anything that might be
sub-consciously torpedoing me.

What are the risks of eating foods that
have chemicals in them, and things that
are of questionable nutrition and have
questionable effect? Yes, there are
"authorities" that will tell you what
to believe. I don't know if you've
noticed it, but every so often the tide
changes on milk, on eggs, on chocolate,
on coffee, on...

I am learning that I need to pay attention
to who is saying what. It is way too easy
to manipulate the facts to suit any
perspective, depending on what the desired
outcome is.

At the same time, looking for ways to
enjoy food like broccoli.

How do you enjoy it? Please let me know
some of your favorite health foods and
how you enjoy them.

Thanks!

Perspective Short: Richard Bach - Our Highest Self

Character comes from following our highest
sense of right, from trusting ideas without
being sure they'll work. One challenge of
our adventure on earth is to rise above dead
systems - wars, religions, nations, destructions -
to refuse to be a part of them, and
express instead the highest selves
we know how to be.

*Richard Bach, One (p.95)

Could you imagine what a world like this
could be like?

Perspective: Health Ranger - Mike Adams

@MonteCarloSS2K shared this video with me
after she saw info regarding my upcoming show with
@PamelaGlasner.

I haven't even watched the whole thing yet, but
every second so far is worthy of sharing.

I suspect it WILL all be worth it. If I think
otherwise, I will come back and let you know.

Seriously...this is stuff we need to consider.

Awareness is where change often begins. If you
don't know something, you may not know you can
change it. Whether you do or don't is something
else, but at least an opportunity exists where
you might not have known before.

What are your thoughts? Do you have any resources
to share?

Perspective Radio: Pamela Glasner

This is a controversial conversation and,
as with any topic, there are many perspectives
and resulting questions. The above video is
one of 10 on YouTube. If the topic is of
interest, consider watching the others.

Note that the videos do tend to lean on the
sensational side. As I said, there are
perspectives, and to each his own. What works
for one may not work for another. However, I
believe having access to other perspectives
can be quite beneficial, even if it just
solidifies your own.

Some interesting questions to ask:

*Is it irresponsible for someone not to take drugs?

*What defines mental illness?

*Why would someone be given medication?

*What is the medication supposed to do?

*What if what the medication "treats" is something
that is something that is "supposed" to be expressed?

*What about side effects?

*and many others

I have an experience that I will be sharing on
my World-of-Perspective-Radio.com show with
@PamelaGlasner this coming Tuesday. There are
a few theories I have developed from my own life
and observations. We will be speaking about it
in the context of Pamela's new book Finding
Emmaus, and her extensive research to write
the novel.

I hope you'll be able to join us. To see more
information about Pamela, please visit her website,
Lodestarre.com and/or see my last blog entry
on the topic.

For information on the show, visit
World of Perspective Radio.com

PS I just put a new page up that will give you
a preview of where I will be coming from during
the show -> YouJustDontUnderstand.com

Do you have a question for me or about me?

Patrick Mathieu (@barcodeguy/MortalityManifesto.com)
has offered to play host on my radio show
WorldofPerspectiveRadio.com so that I can play
guest.

Please watch this short video on what to expect, and
how to take part in it. :-) I would appreciate your input!

Cut breasts into nugget sized pieces. Depending on the
