Dr. Mercola, has an incredible website for health information. Now, he has taken to answering questions about health, on a webcan. A recent question was, “Does hypnosis work for weight loss?” He is an esteemed doctor, and his answer, is music to my ears.

We are heading into the middle of January and "my gym", Allstar Fitness in Seattle, is as busy as ever. Yesterday I felt lucky to get the last bike in the 5PM spinning class.

Two weeks ago, my daughter and I didn't get a bike at all, and upstairs, we were only able to snag a recumbent bike. My twenty-year old finds it fun to see me try to keep up, which of course I am, and the delusion is wonderful!!!

On Wednesday, January 17th, I am going to teach a class called, "It's All in your Head", featuring a deeply relaxing meditation, with hypnotic techniques. Eric Davies, the fitness director is very elegant and clever, and I relish the opportunity to create some mental fun around this "getting in shape stuff".

Take a look at all of the classes he offers: http://www.trumba.com/calendars/allstar_west_seattle

I started back in September, after taking a FULL YEAR, of telling myself, that once I started again, it would be my lifestyle.

In December, my friend, the very fit Darcy Birkeland, gave me the book, Younger Next Year, for Women, by Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge, M.D. This is chock full of ideas about how to think differently.

Not only do we need our fruit picking-heart rate, we need to hunt down a lion, to really wake up our bodies. This high gear makes us feel younger, and we want to keep this high gear, for the fun stuff.

Of course, I have grossly abbreviated the message. Suffice it to say, I am now going to the gym, to chase "whatever my imagination chooses". Sometimes, I prefer to be chased, and I let myself get caught.

Spinning is fun, fun, fun. You can be in the front with the century riders, or you can be in the back, next to someone fresh from surgery.

Wherever you are, GO AT YOUR OWN PACE, and choose to use your imagination, get lost in the music, and work up a sweat. It is wonderfully addictive.

I sent out a notice to my clients that I am offering four sessions for the normal cost of three. These can be used in 2007 but purchased now.

I was really surprised at the number of responses I received from people who want to come in for a stress reduction session NOW!

People in the know about hypnosis, know, that the greatest side-effect is the complete relaxation. It is amazing how relaxing your mind and body changes your perceptions for the better. And the more stressed one is, the more, one seems to appreciate the change.

So if I had spammed the world with, Recipe for More Mental Massages which I , by the way, would not do, I don't think too many people would get it. But people who have already experienced hypnosis and do not associate it with a stage show, wanted to sign up right away.

 I would like to help move hypnosis  into the main stream as a very practical and beneficial way we can all improve the quality of our thoughts and life experiences.
