What if I revealed my deepest, darkest secret? What if I said something embarrassing? What if I lost control? What if I quacked like a duck?

Those movies I watched when I was a kid (which showed villains hypnotizing their victims) had made a powerful impression on me.

Hypnotherapy is a technique that allows you to enter into an altered state of consciousness in order to access and influence the subconscious mind. We enter into these altered states several times a day: when we drive our car and don’t remember how we arrived at our destination, when we stare at our computer screen and daydream, when we zone out while watching television, when we drift off to sleep and when we just begin to wake up. The difference is, in hypnosis, we allow ourselves to enter into these states consciously. The hypnotherapist guides us into deeper levels of relaxation, so that the conscious mind can be distracted, while the subconscious mind can be impressed.

Hypnotherapy is one of the only complementary therapies that has been proven by scientific research and has been approved by the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association.

No one can be hypnotized without his or her consent and no one can be forced to do anything against his or her will. All hypnosis is “self -hypnosis” or “a state of selective thinking” whereby the subject (who is always in control) chooses to experience only what is relevant to the issue being addressed.

A certified hypnotherapist in private practice in Hendersonville, TN agreed to hypnotize me so we could discuss “what it was like” on my radio program. Seated in her comfortable recliner, holding her hand and focusing my eyes on a point on her forehead, I had no trouble entering into a relaxed state. The sound of her voice was reassuring and soothing. I felt comfortable, nurtured and safe.

As I closed my eyes, she guided me into deeper levels of consciousness and just when I felt that I had arrived at the deepest state, she asked me to go even deeper, counting down from ten to one. Before the session, we had discussed the issue I wanted to work on (weight loss) and together, we floated back to a time in my life when I experienced feelings associated with that issue. It didn’t matter if I didn’t “see” anything, what was important was to describe what I was “feeling.”

I was amazed that the images and feelings that came up were so meaningful. Scenes from
my childhood provided insight and allowed me to make the connection between my beliefs and my behavior. Her words guided me into an imaginary library where I read the titles of books that left positive impressions on my mind. The experience left me empowered. I came back feeling like “the invincible woman.”

She told me that every session was different depending on what the person wanted to work on. The relationship and rapport with your hypnotherapist is crucial to the process. The more comfortable you feel, the greater your experience, the deeper your state of relaxation, and the more powerful the session.

What I had witnessed earlier on television was stage hypnosis - a combination of hypnotic suggestion, mystique, and entertainment - quite different from the hypnotherapy discussed here. But now I have no fear about being hypnotized in front of a live audience and if I end up quacking like a duck, it will be OK, because I’ll know that on some deep level - I really wanted to.

My friend, Mary Pace, made her peaceful transition on Friday morning, June 5th.

These are the words that I read at her memorial service.

Mary, I should have thanked you more often

• For those long slow walks, and frequent rest stops at Opry Mills Mall - and the time we just sat together in silence.

• For the free movie tickets and your companionship and willingness to see a movie again - that you had seen several times before.

• For accompanying me to the Big Beautiful Women Beauty Pageant and hiding your embarrassment when I hooped and hollered for the biggest, most boisterous contestant

• For your complete presence and attentive ear when I spewed out my woes and sorrows

• For your intuitive advice back then - when I didn’t feel like I could get answers on my own

• For listening to my crazy ideas

• For the smiles and most of all, for the total complete acceptance of me as I was then, and me as I am now

• For graciously accepting my “encouraging” remarks in your hospital room, when I didn’t know - that - you knew - you were leaving,

• For putting up with my nervous jokes in intensive care , when I tried to get you to smile with your eyes, knowing you could not speak

• And finally I want to thank you for your forgiveness for my staying away for so long.

I will miss you Mary.

• When I feel a wisp of wind, I will think of you

• When I hear a bird’s soft song, I will think of you

• When I feel my cat brush up against me, I will think of you

• When I encourage another person to BLOOM, I will think of you

• When someone praises me for the little things that I do, I will think of you.

• When I wonder how I will ever become enlightened, I will think of you, and ask for your assistance, one last time, in helping me along my path to my final resting place, to join you, among the angels.

• By then, you will have your feet wet, and be firmly entrenched in the presence of God. I only hope that they will let me in,

• I hope to follow in your footsteps and leave only a smidgen of the legacy of love and acceptance that you have left for me and many others.

Until we meet again Mary, I will miss you. Love and Light, and a great big Hug from me – Linda Woods and from many others.

This is the back cover copy that I wrote for Patricia Milner’s new book: Divine Intervention

She could remember every detail. Every line, every flaw, every feature was burned into her memory forever. Whether it was the intricate design of the crochet blanket in the back of the rapist’s truck, or the smile on her dead grandfather’s face when he spoke to her at his own funeral, her vivid memory was just a small side effect of her increasing psychic skills. Nobody had a clue about what she was going through - not her mother, her siblings, not even her father (whom she adored). The only ones who seemed to understand were her animal companions, some ‘beings’ that floated around in her bedroom and those invisible strangers at school. She just knew things. She could read everyone’s thoughts, and at times, it was just too much to handle. So she retreated into her fantasy world, walking through the fields, only to find - again, that she was not alone. Growing up with a foot in several dimensions was not easy, especially where her mother was concerned. Patricia was blamed for everything and never felt loved or appreciated. Considered the “freaky kid” at school, she stood up for herself by fighting and standing her ground. But, when she started hearing noises, having headaches, and receiving immediate answers to the questions in her head, she knew that something was happening - something frightening, yet beautiful and profound. From the angel who “took over her singing voice” at her solo concert, to the beings who took her on journeys across the Universe, to her enhanced perception of colours, sound and nature, slowly, over the years, she began to understand “why” she was so different.

Linda Woods takes great care of her clients. Her meticulous work, her superb work ethic and timely return of the project make her an ideal editor for books at Nightengale Press. She is willing to learn, to grow and to achieve the high standards we demand.

-– Valerie Connelly, Publisher & CEO, Nightengale Press, a Nightengale Media LLC Company

Until recently, I thought blogs were only for teenagers. I’m no teenager, and a bit of a technophobe. So I was skeptical when Linda told me she could set up a blog for me and teach me how to maintain it.

Now I’m blogging! Linda patiently helped me make choices that allowed her to set up a site that is search engine optimized. And she patiently answered my questions when I couldn’t remember the little things.

I recommend Linda Woods for anyone who needs help getting into the 21st century.
