Mary's Story
Many of my clients ask me what made me decide to become a Hypnotherapist. My reason was not the typical reason, in fact before the I made the decision, I like many of you, thought hypnosis was quackery and hypnotherapists were weirdos. So I guess that makes me a weirdo, but, I found that hypnosis when used properly can be one of the most powerful, safe and enlightening methods known to man.
So, back to why I chose to study hypnosis in the first place. I had gone to the Dr. to have some moles that were showing up on my neck and face removed. I am not a vain person but one of them was a bit irregular in size and shape so I opted for the removal.
The removal process for moles is relatively simple requiring only a minimal local anesthesia and all was going well. I sat reclined in the chair and chatted with the Dr. and nurse as he removed them one by one. Suddenly for no reason I could figure I started to feel funny, as if I was slipping out of my body. The Dr. also noticed that I had quit talking and was gripping the armrests on the chair (as if that would keep me in my body.) and asked if I was alright. I told him I felt weird, I had fainted before and it was not the same as what I was experiencing this time. He asked the nurse to check my pulse. I remember her touching my wrist and then poof, I was out of my body, but not anywhere in particular. I could still hear the doctor talking to the nurse, although it seemed far away.
Soon I was in the presence of a warm, loving golden light. This energy was palpable, powerful and gentle at the same time. I loved it¿s feeling as it warmed and comforted me. It knew me and seemed to be infusing my mind with information in a la...Expand for more
nguage that was familiar to me, but was not comprised of words. Maybe, knowingness explains it better. This entity, I refer to as God was not concerned about worldly things. It seemed not to worry about time, mistakes I/humans were making. It seemed to reassure me that all would be ok. That it didn¿t matter how long humans took to ¿get it¿. In fact I¿m not sure that God saw anything wrong with the way I/things were at that moment. There was no judgement or blame, only love, wisdom and compassion that words cannot describe...As I was being bathed in this energy it occurred to me that this must be the entity that I know of as God, and if this was God, then I must be dead?...My next and only conscious thought was ¿I want to love like this¿ ....Pooof! Wack! I felt my body bounce as I dropped back in.
I heard the doctor say ¿she¿s BACK¿. I lay there for what seemed like hours while the doctor was yelling MARY! can you hear me. My hearing was fine...my body was stiff as a board and my eyes would not open. After recovering from the effects of dying and being brought back,
I became obsessed with finding a way to help others find a way to connect with this loving energy without the detrimental side affects of a close encounter with death. Once I found one, I had a colleque take me back to that moment and I tried as best I could to translate the message into english. The message I got was ¿I love you, you are safe, be at peace, don¿t be in a hurry, time is irrelevant, love yourself, love is all that matters, you can have anything..just ask, tell everyone I love them, don¿t stop trying, they will hear you, they will hear me. Love is all that matters, Love is all I see.
