Good Vibes from "Green" Hypnosis


Last night I had the pleasure and honor of entertaining guests at GreenWheaton’s anniversary gala at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD.

This is a wonderful organization comprised primarily of volunteers who educate and help businesses and residents in the Wheaton community adopt environmentally sustainable and friendly practices.  There were a number of like-minded groups who were part of the event, working on similar initiatives in communities such as Annapolis, Bethesda, Poolesville and Silver Spring.

How did the hypnosis go?

It was a success and very much in line with expectations.  Rather than a stage show, I worked the room and engaged small groups of guests in a discussion about the health and wellness benefits of positive visualization.  My message was right in step with the philosophy of being green.

I took those who were interested through a simple hypnotic induction, focusing on themes of stress management, confidence and positive feelings.

It was loud with music and chatter, so no one really achieved a deep level of hypnosis.  Yet, I did receive many compliments from guests and the event organizer – Wendy Howard of WH Consulting – gave me the “thumbs up” on my participation at the event.

Vendors displayed their "green friendly" products.



 
GreenWheaton has relationships with similar community groups.


 
BethesdaGreen also runs a business incubator for green friendly companies.
