5 Most Popular Articles of 2016

For five years I have written on this blog about hypnosis as a tool for health, wellness and exceptional living. The focus of my editorial has been to engage, educate and, when appropriate, entertain, while dispelling the misconceptions that exist about the practice of visualization.

I am incredibly appreciative of the time you’ve invested with me and for the Emails I have received from readers – both the compliments and the criticisms.  (Yes…I get those too.)

Today, I spent a few minutes reviewing a readership report for 2016.  I’ve included below links to the most popular articles I published this year, each of which attracted more than 1,000 visits.

Brady Bunch Actress was also a Trained Hypnotist

Last month actress Florence Henderson died at the age of 82.  Here is a link to the nice write-up about her life published by CNN.

Often referred to as “America’s mom” because of her portrayal of Carol Brady on the TV sitcom Brady Bunch, Henderson’s career spanned decades and included a myriad of television shows, movies and talk show appearances.

I was surprised to learn that Henderson was also a trained hypnotherapist.  She was introduced to the practice of hypnosis by her second husband, who helped Henderson rise above stage fright through the use of visualization.

Check out the video below of her interview last year with NBC Today Show host Matt Lauer.  Henderson’s discussion of hypnosis starts at 3:15 and she refers to it as a “wonderful tool.”
