Magic, Mysteries, and The Power of Your Mind
operator | March 3, 2010 | 6:35 pm | Getting Started | Comments closed

Have you ever wondered why when you make a decision that seems to make sense, you know that it would be of great benefit to you, and yet you find that you have trouble putting this decision into effect? How often has this happened to you?

In some cases it happens so frequently that we can believe that we have no power when it comes to losing weight, exercising, going back to school, changing jobs, attracting your true love, creating health or wealth.

This one day workshop will answer those questions and expose you to understanding of the deeper mind, universal energy, the power of thought and the higher self. Specifically designed meditations will assist you in transforming those situations into positive ones.

Hypnosis For Weight Loss And Smoking Cessation
admin | March 12, 2009 | 1:45 pm | Education/Classes | Comments closed

How Hypnosis Works

The conscious mind is the part of the mind with which you are most familiar; the part that knows where you are and what you are doing at all times. If the conscious mind cannot see, touch or taste something, then it doesn’t exist. Consequently, it is difficult to change unhealthy behavioral patterns by just using the conscious mind.

The subconscious mind works very much like a computer. Once something is programmed into the computer it remains that way until it is reprogrammed. The old programming repeats no matter how much your conscious mind wishes something else to occur, making it difficult to break long-standing patterns such as smoking.

Hypnosis is an “altered state of consciousness,” similar to daydreaming or getting absorbed in a good book. During this altered state of consciousness, suggestions are able to bypass the conscious mind and can be fed directly into the subconscious, where they can be readily accepted and acted upon immediately.

Traditional smoking cessation and weight loss programs stop here, using only suggestions to help the participant stop smoking or lose weight. What makes Pathways’ Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss programs different from the others?

  1. Like other hypnosis programs Pathways Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss programs help participants reach an “altered state of consciousness” where suggestions can be readily accepted by the subconscious mind. However, this is where the similarity ends. Under the expert guidance of Dr. William Bezmen and Pathways staff, participants are able to go back to the origin of their smoking or weight problem and reprogram positive healthy thoughts where limiting, negative thoughts (blocks) reside. These new, more expansive thoughts allow participants to stop smoking or lose weight in a much more painless and effortless way than is usually the case when other approaches are used.These blocks prevent people from being as successful as they would like to be, and it is these blocks that are not addressed in other programs. That is why many people successfully stop smoking or lose weight for a while after attending a hypnosis smoking cessation or weight loss program, but find the old thinking and need to smoke or eat returning, and then go back to their old habits.
  2. Another unique aspect of Pathways Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss programs is the teaching of self-hypnosis techniques, so participants can continue to access their own subconscious mind and reinforce their resolve with repeated positive suggestions. By developing skills with self hypnosis, participants reinforce new attitudes no matter where they are and what they may be doing.
  3. Participants also receive a free hypnosis CD for use on a daily basis at home. This unique CD has been developed by Dr. William Bezmen to take listeners to a place of healing and connect them with their Higher Selves. By experiencing the unconditional love of the Higher Self, listeners can fill the void and heal their addictions. Suggestions given are positive, uplifting and extremely powerful. The more the CDs are heard, the more effective the results. The use of Pathway’s HypnoSynergistic™ approach, which blends clinical hypnosis, guided imagery, ancient healing arts, An-Ra Energy Healing System and spirituality make these programs unique in the marketplace and facilitate transformational healing in the listener.

Pathways Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss programs are offered in two formats:

  • Weight Management Program is an 8 week program, called “Healthy Life”  that is done in a group setting and involves both teaching and group hypnosis to incorporate the lessons into the deeper mind and to make permanent change. See Healthy Life in the service section.
  • The second is a short series of private sessions where even deeper issues that may be blocking success with smoking cessation or weight loss can be uncovered under the helpful guidance of a hypnotherapist.
Post Traumatic Stress: Healing with Hypnosis
operator | March 8, 2009 | 5:47 pm | Education/Classes | Comments closed

Pathways To Health™ offers a course in Post Traumatic Stress to provide hypnotherapists with the tools necessary for effective methods of identifying and treating clients with acute and post traumatic stress disorder. The ongoing fear of many in the face of possible terrorist attacks and the many other types of PTSD that clients can be experiencing, make this a very current and common condition seen in all of our practices. Taught by William Bezmen Ph.D., students will learn how to identify both acute stress disorder and post traumatic stress. PTSD can originate from many types of events. Any past trauma such as car accidents, death of a loved one, and childhood events, may again can be triggered by the fear and anxiety that we are facing at this time. The Hypnotherapist will be taught a variety of HypnoSynergistic techniques as well as new ways to empower their clients with the use of self-hypnosis. With the completion of the course the student will receive a certificate in stating that they have specialized training in post traumatic stress.

For the continuing education of Certified Hypnotherapists and re-certification, this course is worth 15 CEU’s.

Bringing The Mind Home
operator | November 16, 2008 | 1:44 pm | Education/Classes | Comments closed

Why Meditate?
The demands of modern society help create in us the habit of directing the great majority of our thinking and behavior outward. We tend to be only minimally in touch with our inner selves, and tend to carry over the stress of our outer lives to an internal stream of thoughts and images. We may actually add stress to our lives by mulling over problems without finding resolution to them. Through meditation, we learn to focus uncritically on one thing at a time, to go beyond suffering in our lives and remember who we really are – an immortal self who is one with the Source of all creation.

In this workshop, participants will:
* Review the difference between meditation,contemplation, prayer, and guided meditation.
* Review and learn new relaxation, breathing, grounding and centering techniques.
* Learn the techniques of one-pointed, mindfulness and walking meditation. Pre-requisite: Meditation 101
