Hypnosis: Detox Your Mind & Body and Reprogram Your Finances

Lisa Shook, Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master • January 1, 2021

 I am one of those people, maybe just like you, that has had a colorful past. A lot to forgive and forget. With my baggage, I just couldn’t break free from the constant stress of working hard and feeling anxious. What has helped me, and much faster than therapy, was hypnosis. If you want to transform the desire to retire early into enjoying work you absolutely love, stop long term addictions and hardships that are rooted in past losses and trauma, expand your self-worth and multiply your net worth, then listen up! What do you think of when you hear the word ‘detox’? Most people think of the human body. Taking supplements, drinking large quantities of water, smoothies, fasting, or ways to rid toxins. This is great, but we tend to overlook one very damaging toxin. Stress! It is one of the most pervasive toxins in America. I call stress a toxin because it is mentally, emotionally, and physically damaging to our lives. In my work I have come to find that many people are addicted to stress and are not even aware of it. And unfortunately, for about half of all Americans, levels of stress are getting worse instead of better.

 A natural way to not only detoxify your body, but detoxify your life, is by doing hypnosis. Hypnosis is safe and natural. Almost anyone capable of reading this article can go into hypnosis and experience the results they are looking to achieve. Hypnosis will help rewire your brain and get your neurotransmitters firing properly. Once ‘rewired’, you will have changed the hormones being released in your body, which will help with detox on many levels. When you change your brain, you can change your life. For example, right now, put your hand on your heart and think of the most grateful, happy, or proud moment that you’ve experienced in life. Perhaps with someone you love? Use your imagination and REALLY be there! Let yourself feel into that event. Notice your posture, or facial expression that goes with that feeling. Right now, if you are feeling a good feeling like happiness or gratitude, your body may be releasing hormones like serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine. These hormones are produced during positive experiences and help combat stress.

There are 3 parts of the brain that I like to talk about when it comes to hypnosis:
• The Conscious Mind: The conscious mind is limited and can only handle about 7 bits of information at any given time (this is why multi-tasking doesn’t work).
• The Subconscious Mind: The subconscious mind is unlimited and stores all of your memories, beliefs, and habits.
• The Unconscious Mind: This is the autonomic nervous system.

 At every level of our mind there is a protective function and that is what makes changing habits by using willpower alone very difficult. In hypnosis we gain access to the subconscious and basically remove erroneous beliefs and ‘old programming’ that began when we were younger. Then we grow up and enter the adult world and experience stress.

 I realized, thankfully, but at a late point in life, you don’t have to be stressed to succeed. You don’t have to work 20 hours per day to succeed. You can detox your life, mind, body and your bank account, with hypnosis. What if you could wake up every morning feeling refreshed, energized and excited for your day? Imagine being resilient and having the ability to rebound quickly from difficult situations. Imagine that with hypnosis you have re-wired your thoughts and beliefs, and now, absolutely nothing is stopping you from achieving your financial goals, physical goals or relationship goals.
 I will be talking more about hypnosis during the workshop and be providing a bonus experience for those who attend! I hope to see you in the online workshop.

The most common question when the topic goes to functional mushroom products tends to be: “Are these magic mushrooms?” Well, this Hawai’i based company is determined to prove that ALL mushrooms are magic. While these aren't psilocybin-containing hallucinogenic mushrooms (most commonly referred to when talking about ‘magic’ mushrooms), their healthful effects are just as remarkable. Mālama Mushrooms is a family-owned business based in Kona, Hawaii, dedicated to promoting health and wellness through the power of superfood mushrooms. Founded by Benjamin Lillibridge in 2015, the brand’s name, "Mālama," meaning "protect, preserve, and nurture" in Hawaiian, reflects the company’s core mission of sharing the healing properties of mushrooms. Residents in the Pacific Northwest are probably most initiated with the wonder of mushrooms. But for those new to the party, welcome! Now let’s give you some ‘mush’ needed context: Mushrooms have been used for targeting a prodigious number of ailments and maladies in traditional cultures medicinal regimes throughout the world spanning millennia. The conventional western world, in their typical resistance to harnessing the holistic capabilities of Earth’s natural intelligence, has been a tad slower to embrace. However, fungi had their historic watershed moment in America during WWII when the power of a lowly fungus, Penicillium spp., was utilized to create the first industrially scaled anti-biotic, Penicillin, and deployed to the allied troops and eventually the rest of the world. This had a dramatic effect on reducing mortality from infections. Today, the literature surrounding fungi such as functional superfood mushrooms such as lion’s mane, reishi, cordyceps & chaga has expanded immensely. Lion’s Mane - Known for its cognitive benefits, Lion’s Mane is often referred to as a “brain booster”. It supports memory, focus, and mental clarity, and has been shown to promote nerve regeneration. Its antiinflammatory properties may also reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Lion’s Mane is a great option for anyone looking to enhance brain health and overall cognitive function for themselves, their family and even their dog! Reishi - Nicknamed the “mushroom of immortality” Reishi is revered for its stress- relieving and immune-boosting properties. It helps calm the mind, improve sleep quality, and strengthen the immune system. Reishi is also known for its anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits, making it ideal for supporting overall well-being. Cordyceps - Cordyceps is celebrated for its ability to boost energy and enhance athletic performance. By improving oxygen uptake and increasing stamina, it’s a popular choice for athletes or those seeking a natural energy boost without a crash. It is also linked to improved lung function and anti-aging benefits. Chaga - Packed with antioxidants, Chaga is a powerful mushroom that supports immune function and combats oxidative stress. It is also renowned for its ability to promote skin health by fighting free radicals and supporting cellular regeneration. Mālama Mushrooms crafts a variety of products that make it easy to incorporate these powerful mushrooms into your daily routine. Whether you’re looking to improve cognitive function, enhance your immune system, or reduce stress, there’s a Mālama product designed to support your health goals. In line with their commitment to quality, Mālama uses organic, fruiting bodies of the mushrooms, a method aligned with traditional practices which does not include any of the oats & rice substrate used in the growing process. But it’s not just obsession with quality that makes Mālama aligned with their namesake of ‘protecting, preserving & nurturing’. The company also donates 5% of profits to the Hawaii Fungi Project, a non-profit dedicated to studying and preserving the native Hawaiian mushrooms, some of which are already on the IUCN’s Endangered Species list and have seldom been seen by human eyes. In addition, during the Maui Fires last year, one of their mushroom farm partners lost 70% of the accounts they sold fresh lion’s mane to overnight. Mālama sprang into action and began dehydrating & extracting their mushrooms to incorporate into their product line and support.
