Here is an interesting read published by ESPN.com about how an international soccer star turned to a hypnotist to improve his performance on the field.

Although the hypnotist is bound by a confidentiality agreement and could not speak to the specifics of the session, he does allude to the importance of focus and visualization.

Seneca Valley Gets Hypnotized for After Prom

Educators, school administrators and parents share a common passion -- to provide kids with the academic, social and athletic opportunities that pave a path for success in life.

This is why donate my time each year to support schools in the Washington, DC region.  I see it as an investment in the future of the community where I reside with my family.  Plus, it is personally rewarding to help those who have such an important mission. 

Readers of this blog know that I speak on campus to psychology and health students.  I entertain at after prom and all night graduation parties hosted by the Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA).  And I perform at fundraisers that benefit schools.  

This past Friday I had the opportunity to headline an event hosted by the PTSA at Seneca Valley High School in Germantown, MD.

It was a wonderful show, with an engaged audience and an awesome group of volunteers.  I also had the privilege of meeting the school's principal and assistant principal, both of whom attended my Hypnotic Experience show with family members.

All of the proceeds from this event will be put to use by the PTSA to help fund the school's after prom party in May.  A great night...a great school...and a great cause.

Check out the tweets below about the show.

3 Meaningful Life Changes with Hypnosis

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to entertain a group of exceptional professionals who are members of Washington, DC based social organization called the 20s & 30s Going Out Group.  I have a long-standing relationship with the group’s founder and organizer.  We’ve worked together on events for five years.

For the 20s & 30s I perform the health and wellness version of my Hypnotic Experience show because the topics and themes resonate with the audience.  It’s all about how visualization can be employed to manage stress, grow confidence and promote exceptional living.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the evening was the individual discussions I had with attendees after the show.  A number of people were intrigued and wanted to discuss how the practice of self-hypnosis could help them achieve specific goals.

I won’t go into specifics in this blog post, yet the nature of these individual chats could be segmented into three categories.  Hypnosis as a tool to:

1. Manage chronic pain or discomfort

2. Promote healthier lifestyle choices (i.e. eating, smoking cessation, etc.)

3. Motivate or inspire action or activity in career or personal relationships

My view is consistent across each of these areas.  Although certainly not magic or a replacement for traditional medicine, hypnosis creates an expectation of health, happiness and success.  That is the foundation to feel empowered.
