What happens in the Group Hypnosis for Weight Loss Class?

The intention of this class is to jump start your weight loss goals by having you commit to a plan that you create and then "installing" that plan into your subconscious through the use of hypnosis.  We begin the class by having you answer some questions about your weight loss issues, attempts to lose weight, and why you believe you are having trouble losing weight.  We discuss in general some of the groups overall issues and then I have you make a plan of action.  The plan covers what you are going to do for your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs in order to accomplish your goal. The plan is important because it reflects what you feel you need in order to succeed in your ability to lose weight and keep it off.  I then take you into the hypnosis portion of the class.

Why use hypnosis to lose weight?  Because sometimes it is your own mind that gets in your way.  If you have difficulty staying with healthy eating or you find yourself indulging in what you know isn't good for you, then you know it's about what you say to yourself more so than what you are doing.  Your mind continues to justify your habits and behaviors in order to allow you to continue not to be the healthy person you know you want to be. This is aside from the other reasons you may not be losing weight, i.e. physical ailments or limitations.  Since I am a mental health therapist, I can only approach your weight loss issues from the mind. I highly suggest that you seek out the proper professionals for issues of a physical or nutritional nature.

What is hypnosis? Hypnosis is simply a state of relaxation with suggestions for change given by me as the facilitator.  You may or may not hear what I say.  You may or may not feel you are hypnotized.  The experience is different for everyone.  What makes my hypnosis process different from anyone else's is that I use my connection to the Universal Council, universal energy, to augment the things that I say to you.  I use your words along with words of encouragement from the Universal Council that are individualized for each participant.  You will probably be able to hear what is being said to each and every individual, but you will realize that it only enhances your own experience. The result is an installation of your plan for change at all levels of your being.

I recommend that participants take at least three classes to continue to reinforce the benefits of hypnosis in their weight loss.  You will most likely see the results after one session.  Then you can determine how much support you need in the future.

This is a quick and easy process.  It is a one hour class with lasting results.  The class is conducted every Friday at noon.  The fee is $45.00 a class or $125.00 for a package of three classes.

You must be registered to attend.  Class size is limited.  Please reserve your spot today.  210-967-4400 or online at http://www.secure-booker.com/integrativehealing/WorkshopsStart.aspx?TreatmentID=1563821

Introduction to the Teachings of the Universal Council as interpreted by Mitzi Wood

In this article you will learn who the Universal Council is and how they work with physical beings on this earth.

The universal council is an energy that is non-physical that works with physical beings to help them better integrate their human experience with their spiritual counterparts.  The evolution of human beings is now moving into a place where a higher vibration is necessary for a better blending of spirit and body.  Human beings have evolved as far as they are going to evolve without allowing their spiritual nature to come forth and be more prominent on earth.  Non-physical energy such as the universal council is working with physical energy to help facilitate this process of evolution to a new state of being.  A perfect blending of physical and nonphysical on earth.  As the universal council begins its teachings here on earth, those that have agreed ahead of time to work with the council will identify themselves for the benefit of upgrading their energies in order to help other human beings evolve on this earth.  This is done through the process of vibrational healing.  Words are simply a vibration and when words are used vibrations are created.  The universal council exists in vibrational energy which is of a higher frequency than words.  Therefore, it is necessary to have interpreters here on earth to be able to translate and put into words the intent of the universal council for those of you on earth that need to have a clearer understanding of their teachings.  This process is being done all over the earth as interpreted by those who have chosen to do this as their life work.  The interpretation will vary according to the translator, but the message will be the same.  There is no longer a separation between physical and nonphysical, rather there is a greater integration occurring naturally as human beings evolve.  It is time to release the old interpretations of what nonphysical is and embrace a new evolved understanding of this relationship on earth.  We are here to help you in whatever capacity you need us to help.  We may take on whatever form you give us based on your own belief system.  We are not here to change beliefs, but to enhance the process of growth for each and every individual that has decided to work on evolving at this time on earth.  This is a glorious time for all physical and nonphysical beings and we are here to help in any way that we can.

To facilitate this new way of thinking, we are offering workshops to help you understand your own belief system and to help facilitate any healing that needs to take place in order to evolve your beliefs to where you would like to go.  If you are searching for something more, feel blocked in this process, or just want to enhance your already connected spiritual practice then this is the workshop for you.  We will take you through the lessons needed for human beings to have an understanding of who we are and how each and every one of you can connect with us regardless of whether you have an interpreter or not.  Also, how to use our energy to enhance your own for the benefit of growth in any aspect of your life here on earth.  We will be teaching you how to work with your own spiritual guidance and understand where you are vibrationally and how you may shift your vibration to better meet your human and spiritual needs.  This is a new way of thinking about your spiritual life and your relationship to your human experience.  It is something that is evolving all over your planet and you will find that once you begin this process with us that you will find others who are evolving in much the same way.

In the past, universal energy has been interpreted in ways that have both benefitted and harmed human beings.  As non-physical beings, we are watching your process and waiting to be able to assist in any way that we can, but we are not always utilized.  We will not intervene unless invited to do so.  And then we are only here to assist, not to take over your life.  We respect and honor the fact that you have chosen to become physical while we have remained non-physical.  We also want to help you understand your belief systems in relation to who we are.  We have been called many things in the past.  Angels, spirits, spirit guides, gods, etc.  We have been interpreted to be individual energies with names and human like qualities.  As long as the information is conveyed in a way that fits your belief system, we have allowed the identities to continue.  However, we have chosen for your benefit to not use an individual name, but to use a concept to convey who we are to you.  We chose the words universal council, but it is much vaster than that and there are not words to explain in detail who we are.  We can say that we are the energy connected to the One as you interpret that to be.  The energetic hierarchy includes you as human beings who are simply universal energy in human form.  Therefore, we are one in the same only you have made your energy so dense, that you have interpreted this as a separation from your spiritual selves.  You have chosen to forget who you are for the sake of your human experience.  It has given us much information on the universal level and has helped us to evolve from our singular existence into so much more.  Now is the time to reintegrate and remember who you are and use that knowledge to enhance your human experience.  We are putting all the pieces of the puzzle together with you so that you may understand why you are having this experience and how you may evolve your experience in the millennia to come. With this understanding, human beings may truly start to work with the energies created on earth and change them into something greater.  Heaven on earth as it is quoted.  This combining of human/spiritual knowledge will take all of us into a new era of learning and evolving.  The results benefiting all who partake in this evolution.

Beginning your Spiritual Journey

It is time to begin a new way of thinking about your spirituality.  This is not to discount the way you have believed in the past, but to enhance those beliefs.  As we grow and learn more about spirituality and expand our awareness of what we believe, we start to understand that it is a very personal process that has some commonalities with others, but is unique to us.  Why is that?  It is because what we think and believe about spirituality is based on our history, our teachings, our society, our world in general, and whatever else influences us at the time.  Spirituality is very fluid.  You wouldn't think that it would be, but as you learn more, experience more and mature, your beliefs change.  This is true with everything else in your life, so why wouldn't it be true in relation to your spirituality?

We tend to shy away from our spiritual beliefs changing out of fear.  Fear based on what we have learned and what we think we know about spirit.  If we believe that we are spiritual beings, or at the very least, spiritual believers, then we should be able to evolve and grow continuously within our lifetime.  If you ask those around you it is probably not that uncommon for an individual to have had some kind of spiritual experience in their lifetime.  They may have discounted it, but it probably occurred.  Think about your own life.  Was there ever a time where you felt particularly close and aligned with your own spirit?  Most people discount this experience because they do not know how to recreate it and become discouraged or disillusioned by the experience.  What actually happens is that we get a taste of who we truly are and we want more.  So we meander around going from experience to experience trying to recapture that spirit again when it is already within us and ready for us to connect and reaffirm our existence.

It's time to take charge of your spiritual life and stop waiting for something to happen.  People have written many books on the subject and we read them and then still do nothing.  We feel depressed or anxious and don't know why, yet we still do nothing.  This is a call to do something!  Connecting with your spirit is the one thing that we have complete control over in our lives.  It is the one thing that will align you with your purpose, your authentic self, your ability to have a better more fulfilling life, and so much more!  It's time.  You have tried everything else, and while you continue to struggle spirit continues to dwell within you, waiting.

So, how do you get started?  By setting your intention to allow a fuller spiritual life.  We intent so many things on a daily basis that we don't mean to intend.  For example, we wake up in the morning and decide that this is going to be a crappy day or it's going to be a great day based on how we feel.  If you set your intention to be guided by spirit, then you have set the tone to start your day.  There are also many ways to supplement your spiritual practice.  Yoga, meditation, reading spiritual material, like-minded groups, are all good ways to connect with like-minded people and allow yourself to start to talk about what you believe and learn and grow. Taking care of the body by taking advantage of practices that heal such as; massage, reflexology, chakra balancing, Body Talk, reiki, intuitive healing, lymphatic drainage, astrology, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, prayer, and other healing practices are great ways to start the process of aligning the body, mind, and spirit.

If you need help understanding how to begin to explore your spirituality, I am available to help.  Through accessing my own spiritual guides and teachers, I can teach you about spirituality as it pertains to you and your comfort level.  If you have any questions about this blog or just questions in general, you may always contact me at blended@mitziwood.com.  The choice is yours as to how you want to proceed from here.  Let me walk your journey with you until you can walk it alone.
