The Transparent Hypnotist

Sherrie Lea - is she Marilyn Monroe?

Quotes of the Week

The minute I walked in for my appointment I started to relax–are hypnotherapists supposed to be so friendly? And what about those great black pumps–how could she be evil with such good taste? – about hypnotist Sheila Swenson in an article in The Norfolk Examiner.

In June and July of 2005, famous American medium Kevin Ryerson channeled the ancient Egyptian spirit of Ahtun-Re, known for its accurate readings, confirming that Sherrie Lea Laird is indeed the only true linear reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe - from a blog post in The Area Wide News by Bret Burquest about Sherrie Lea Laird, whom Dr. Adrian Finkelstein hypnotically regressed and discovered just may be Marilyn Monroe reincarnated.

Stone’s midnight act takes more from Vegas than vaudeville; he leaves the gloves, cape and watch back in hypnosis history – from an article about hypnotist Kevin Stone in The Los Angeles Times.

The Good

A headline in The MetroWest Daily News reads “Subconscious relief: Hypnosis gains acceptance as medical treatment.” I guess I will take the high road and be happy for such a positive headline. This article talks about the work of hypnotist Gina Orlando (phobias and stress), the Light Heart Center (motivation), and the Rev. Dr. C. Scot Giles (cancer work), all based in Illinois. There is one quote by Dr. Giles that is particularly of note (so pay attention, please):

What’s been found is that cancer cells have receptor sites for chemicals in the body associated with stress. They use those chemicals to fuel a process called angiogenesis (generation of blood vessels that aid growth of a tumor). The stress chemicals in your body are energizing the tumor cells and encouraging tumor proliferation. So by maintaining a state of low stress in the mind, you actually change the physiology of the body and starve the cancer cells of chemicals they need to grow. That seems to be why hypnotism is effective. While it doesn’t kill the cancer, it does inhibit its spread.

The Bad as in Cool

A few Monday’s ago, I mentioned that Mel B (former Spice Girl) was going to try hypnotism to help her with stage fright. She has opened in a new show in Vegas. Did it work? According to People Magazine, it did indeed.

The Ugly

More ugliness in theft department of life. Hypnosis is being touted as the mechanism of robbery in a recent jewelry heist in India. Mind you, it is not the fact that the thief told the clerk he was the owner and that there were several other suspicious incidents (such as security cameras not working), but it was the use of hypnotism that allowed the perpetrator to get the diamonds…(note the sarcastic glint in my writing).
