FCAT SPECIAL $50/ session- FCAT Only
Parents! FCAT testing is near!
Did you know that hypnosis can help your child concentrate and remember facts that will help him/her pass the FCAT? According to William Glasser, internationally recognized psychiatrist, we Learn 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, 30% of what we see, 50% of what we see and hear, 70% of what we discuss, 80% of what we experience, 95% of what we teach others.
Now you do the math! Your child is exposed to an estimate of 8 hours or instruction based mainly on the teacher talking and the students reading. At the end of the day he/she learned only 30% of what he/she was exposed to. Can you blame your child for scoring low on a test? No! Hypnosis makes a difference because we open the mind to combine what he/she hears with visualizations, and two way discussions. Your child will be combining all the experiences he/she has and will be able to apply his/her knowledge up to 90%.
It’s just a matter of activating the knowledge thru the subconscious mind under a hypnotic state that will leave him/her relaxed and confident. It doesn’t hurt; there are no side effects, no pills to take, just an improvement that will make a difference.
Bring your kids in for a Hypnosis session to get rid of test anxiety, memory improvement, confidence & much more. FCAT is around the corner. Exp: April 8th

Do Something Out of Your Element this VDAY
What can you do this Valentine’s Day to show your better half how much you love he/she?
Do something totally out of your element
Ø Hide the gift and have them search for it all over the house ( hot, cold)
Ø Take a quick overnight get away ( it doesn’t have to be far) 30 minutes away and a different scene is all it takes
Ø Surprise them by showing up at their job with the flowers/chocolate, not the flower company delivery guy
Ø Show up at work to take them to lunch
Ø Write them a letter by hand expressing everything that you love about them and leave it in their car the night before, so when they get in their car Valentine’s morning it’s the first thing they see
Ø Book a couples massage
Ø If the gift is small (piece of jewelry) wrap it in a large box so you confuse their expectations
Share with us, what do you have planned for your loved one this Valentine’s or what would you like your Valentine’s to do for you?
We all need good ideas!!!

Weeding out the negative people in our lives
Weeding out the negative people in our lives!!!
How do you know who are the good influences in your life and the toxic relationships? We all have people in our lives that we love, who make us feel good about ourselves and we also have those that push us down or belittle our accomplishments. In order to reach our goals and our maximum potential recognizing who is not a motivator and one who lifts you up, in your world, is the first step.
With that said, here are some of the signs you look for to recognize these toxic people in your life:
*Usually share the negative views of the topic being discussed, rarely positive views
*Encourage not speaking up/sharing your views/ standing up for yourself
*Gossip about others often
*Criticize and complain constantly
*Constantly angry
* Every time you leave their presence you feel drained, tired, and in a bad mood
Now off course with all of this said, let’s not forget that we are not perfect, and sometimes people tell us things we don’t like to here, not to make us feel bad, but to help us grow and change character flaws.
If you as a person are in touch with your mind, body, and soul, you will know from the feelings in your soul, the tension in your body and the thinking in your mind that the person you’re with is or is not a good influence for you!
Share with us, how do you deal with these negative people in your life?
Come see me to learn more about how to stand strong and not allow these people to push you down

Do You Have a Purpose?
Do you have a purpose, a direction, a mission for your life?
If not, it’s time to find it! In order to feel truly completely fulfilled you must identify your goals. Whether it is to start a family, change career paths, start your own business, travel, lose weight, you can make it happen once you identify what you want to achieve and when. Goals provide a sense of direction and meaning in the journey of life. In order to feel like there is a reason for living, you need to have something to look forward to, to motivate you.
Share with us, what is that goal, purpose, and mission for you?

Spiritual Growth- Embracing Your Inner Guru
Start with a daily spiritual practice, such as meditating or reading a spiritual book, when you wake.
It will make you mindful whether you're going about your life peacefully or in a hectic way or what kind of people you're attracting. We are a product of what we spend MOST of our time doing.
Focus on generating positive energy around you from the moment you step out of the door. Smiles will almost always get returned and nice gestures seldomly go unnoticed.
