She glided into my office, like a warm, soft breeze.

She has a big job organizing events, lots of events, and she also has an exceptionally cool demeanor. The kind of person you would happily hand over your “to do” list to and then just not worry.

Underneath her exceptional poise, she was having panic attacks at inopportune times, and having trouble staying asleep at night.

The attacks subsided after her first session. She listened to her recordings at night and was pleased with the positive change in sleeping patterns.

Things were going better, much better, and then she had a panic attack while watching TV.  WHAT?

Her Mom had mental breakdown and been hospitalized when my client was in grade school.

She doesn’t consciously remember much, but she did remember watching TV to pass the time after school, waiting for her Dad to come home.

We brainstormed about what that precious little girl was going through as we did EFT and then followed it up with some powerfully mind-shifting hypnosis.

That was last year. She is still sleeping well and the outside cool demeanor remains true on the inside too.

The combination of EFT and hypnosis is incredibly effective.

Free Class for Women Who Eat Too Much Sugar

A part of me does not want to know, write, or admit, the downside of anything that creates the joy of SWEETNESS in my mouth!

I start every Sugar Workshop with these words, “I really do not want any of what I am about to share with you to be true. I love sugar! and while I eat a LOT LESS than I used to…….. completely give it up! yea, that’s probably not going to happen!”

Another part of me knows what she knows: the habit of jacking up your energy with sugar  can be disastrous.

My battle with sugar was established by my late twenties when I announced that I didn’t want a wedding cake.

The words, “NO wedding cake, MA,” fell into my mother’s right ear and came out her left like a challenge that I was not going to win. She could accept that I wasn’t a virgin, but a wedding without a cake? No Way!

The caterers forgot to serve that cake, and most of it ended up at my mother’s house where YOURS TRULY ate most of it!

My Mother’s Grandfather was a merchant, and when having sugar meant status, he had plenty of it. She says that he even sprinkled sugar on his vegetables, lived to be ninety and that I should just get over myself.

Well, I have. I no longer feel that I come with a warning, “Please do not leave your cake unattended in my presence.”

My own mom used to hide truffles in the china. She knew all about sweet-mouth joy! She would savor the sweet chocolate in her mouth and then spit it out!

We are not alone!

I know of a diabetic who crashes retirement parties as an excuse to have some cake.

I have heard of babies crawling out of their cribs to empty the sugar bowl.

I have worked with people who have days,even whole weeks, when they only eat sweets.

I have seen eczema, aches, fat, and cravings go away when people give up eating too much sugar.

What is it about sweet substances that can be so problematic and what exactly is sugar?
As I explore these questions, and write about them, I would really love to hear your story. (Please write to me: Lisa @ Lisa Crunick. com no spaces with Sugar in the headline).

Have you struggled? Are you struggling?  If you are waiting for a study to prove anything about the negative effects of sugar, please do not hold your breath.

How many times have you heard, read or seen what might be a recommended daily sugar allowance? Exactly!

The  World Health Organization recommends 10 teaspoons of sugar a day.

If you are consuming less than that, you can stop reading.

One of my favorite fairy tales is The Crescent Moon Bear.

A woman is  distraught because her husband has returned from war a different man. He is distant, and grouchy, and she sorely misses the sweetness of the companionship she remembers.

She goes to a healer and is told to journey to the top of the mountain and to get a  white hair from the neck of a black bear.

It is no small quest. She must climb the mountain, find the bear, and coax him with food. Oh, and then get close enough to a bear to pull out a hair.

She succeeds and runs down the mountain only to have the healer  throw her precious prize into the fire.

The woman is told to go home and practice everything she learned from the bear on her husband.

This is really a tale about taking one’s own pain and anger and learning love and trust. Everything she needed to know she learned within her journey.

For people who are ashamed for being overweight, the journey to love and trust oneself, can feel as dangerous as getting a bear’s neck hair.

But ultimately, it is the path to inner peace.

Pick the right journey for you.

Free Hypnosis for Setting Intentions

My client opened her eyes from hypnosis and said, “That was great.”

She had a list of things she wanted to change, and rather than list them, I had her create a colorful image of cilia on the outside of a cell.

Cilia are amazing little buggers: they get things done.

If you are looking for some change in some part of your life, you will want to give your subconscious mind a healthy dose of this image.

For the first few seconds, this recording has a  little noise in the background.

You know how to ignore what isn’t important, right?

At the very end I can hear the drumming of a Shaman in the background.

Like music, captured live, this hypnosis has a wonderful feel, as it gently lulls you into thinking about what you really want.

I have added this recording to my Hypnosis Listening Library. Click here to get access.
