How Hypnosis Changes People!

If you like this, please ‘like’ and share! Hypnosis and hypnotherapy (and I’m including good quality NLP coaching here) can be very powerful modalities for personal change, and there is a reason for this.

Self Hypnosis and Personal Alchemy

If you like this, please ‘like’ and share! If you are a long-term follower of HWT you may well already know that I came to NLP and Hypnosis via a journey of inner exploration and self-transformation/development and, above and beyond everything else, this is still my primary interest.

How to Destroy Neediness!

If you like this, please ‘like’ and share! In this video I am talking about ‘groundedness’ and it’s advantages, neediness and it’s disadvantages and I’m talking about what it takes to transcend neediness (‘transcend’ isn’t as dramatic as ‘destroy’ so it didn’t get a place in the headline). P.S. If you want in on the…

Can I Hypnotize My Mother To Stop Hassling Me?

This video is a direct response to a question sent to me here via the HWT site: “Can the Arm-Pull Induction (the instant induction) be tried on my mother, because she is always tensed about my results, the house and this that…” People often think hypnosis and NLP are some forms of direct ‘mind control’…

Hypnosis in Everyday Life

This video was supposed to go up before the self hypnosis video, but there was some problem with the sound so I had to re-record the front end (you’ll notice the edit if you look carefully). When you see a formal hypnosis session, you are watching something that relies upon principles of communication and cognition…

Having Powers Vs. Being Powerful

A lot of people want to learn Hypnosis because they perceive that having the ‘powers of a hypnotist‘ would somehow better their lives in some way (either directly or via helping others in their own lives). Well, that certainly is true… potentially! But there is also a hidden paradox that can keep you from realising your potential both as a…
