Monday and a Few Alien Thoughts

The morning sun has not blazed the sky with any interesting colors as yet. It is damp and dark like the time right after twilight. Perhaps another cup of tea is in order. Maybe another teaspoon of honey with that cup of tea would be reasonable as well.
There is good news this morning, the Transparent Hypnotist is now under the 100,000 mark on Alexia (even though the big blue G slapped me down to a 0). So huge thank you to all who visit this site.
Well, let’s start the weekly wake up with hypno news.
The Good
I do not know how many times I am asked the question, “Does it really work? Will hypnosis make me a non-smoker?” Inevitably I answer with an affirmative smile and depending on my mood, “No, you will make you a non-smoker. Hypnosis will help you with the process.” Then the conversation gravitates to questions about what hypnosis is like or even what it is like to be a non-smoker. There is a lovely article on www.beliefnet.com about one non-smoker’s experience with smoking cessation hypnosis that really speaks to such questions.
Finally something positive in the world of law and hypnosis. Newswest9.com in Texas recently ran a story about their local law enforcement who use forensic hypnosis to help people remember details about crimes. It is advocated by Sheriff Gary Painter.
Wanting to change a habit? Kanta Bosniak, life coach and hypnotist, in an interview with WFMZ-TV gives a few pointers about the 21 days it takes to create or break a habit.
The Bad (Kind of Far Out Cool)
Sometimes I feel fairly conservative in my own experiences, especially when one gets into the some of the psychic or paranormal events. For instance, I have never had an out of body experience (OBE). I am not against such things and now, based on an article in Natural News, I may rethink the idea of inducing such an occurrence. Apparently some researchers have found that OBEs induced hypnotically can have therapeutic value.
And then there are the alien abductions. Regressive hypnosis (no leading questions please) can often help people deal with ideas that they were abducted by aliens. One such story is that of Joyce Updike, who through hypnosis recalled her abductions. The hypnotist was Dr. Leo Sprinkle. This is all chronicled in the book Aliens Among Us by Ruth Montgomery (The North Platte Bulletin).
