[Interview] How to Reprogram Our Mind with Hypnosis (feat. Stephanie Jarmuth)

The word hypnosis comes from ancient Greek and means “a mental state like sleep.” Hypnosis has become a popular modality when it comes to changing deep-seated thought patterns which sabotage various areas of our lives. It’s been known to heal numerous health conditions.

To tell us more about hypnotherapy, I invited Stephanie Jarmuth. Stephanie is a certified hypnotist with a hunger to empower others to create the change they want in their lives. She stumbled upon hypnosis as a last resort to her sleeping problems. Not only did one session get rid of her sleeping issues but it opened her eyes to just how powerful the mind can be. In her practice today, she helps clients attract positive change such as meaningful relationships, an optimistic outlook, abundance, and more.

During our conversation Stephanie and I speak about the benefits of hypnotherapy and what we can do to adopt a positive mindset and shift negative behavior patterns.

What to Do When Things Don’t Go as Planned

When we face disappointment, there’s a temptation to believe that life is working against us. Fear and doubt can bring hidden insecurities to the surface and make you question your worth.

But life is a co-creative process - our participation is based not only on our actions but how we handle and process things, especially when they do not go as we planned.

In this episode, you’ll learn a four step process that outline the perspectives and techniques that can help you adapt to any circumstances. You’ll learn how to make the best of every outcome whether it’s in your favor or not.

Why We Are All Connected

People now increasingly view themselves as separate beings; beings who experience the human condition individually, separate from everyone else. For this reason, they feel disconnected and lose their empathy for the things that don’t help them advance.

The key to experience our connectedness is to move away from seeing ourselves as isolated islands focused solely on personal gain, and more like interconnected oceans who help one another in their journey.

This week, we’ll dive into the different perspectives on the topic of oneness and the reasons why we should acknowledge our connectedness to everything and everyone on the planet.

4 Things Highly Creative People Do Differently

Most of us have been raised to believe that creative geniuses are specially gifted. Such genius seems elusive and out of reach and it tempts us to believe that we could never reach that level.

We also lose some of creative energy in the process of trying to fit into society and pay our bills. But this is the type of thinking that traps us in mediocrity and blocks our creative potential. 

The truth is that there is no such thing as a creative or non-creative person. There are only people who tap into their creativity and those who don’t. In this episode, you’ll learn the four things that creative people do differently than others and how you can embody those qualities.

The Importance of Having Emotional Connections

How many people do you feel truly connected to in your life? If you’re part of the majority, you probably can’t name many people you have a real, emotional connection with. 

Depth is a rare commodity in both love and friendships. In a world of networking for personal gain, dating apps, and shallow social norms, most of us feel replaceable. Everyone seems too busy to put in the effort that’s necessary for a connection to blossom to its full potential.

Yet we can’t neglect our fundamental need to give and receive. As human beings, we are social creatures, and it’s our connections with others that allow us to survive and thrive.

In this episode, you’ll learn about the five key characteristics of an emotional connection. Knowing these qualities will be helpful in finding and creating the type of relationships and friendships that nourish you.

5 Signs That You Are an Old Soul

Wisdom is a function of time and experience. While this is true for the most part, every so often we meet someone who’s wise beyond their age or appearance. These special individuals are popularly termed as “old souls”.

Old souls see and process the world differently than others. They have deep insights and wisdom which puts them ahead of the learning curve. 

Having this advantage, however, does not make life easier or more simple for an old soul. In a world that favors youthful energy and material  success, old souls tend to be misunderstood.

In this episode you’ll learn the five main signs that indicate that you’re an old soul and how you can use your maturity to improve your lives and the lives of others.

How to Turn Your Pain into Purpose

The First Noble Truth of Buddhism states that pain and dissatisfaction are part of being human. Yet, even though life is far from perfect, the Truth states that we hold the key to our liberation based on how we process our pain.

This process is demonstrated in the stories of those who found meaning in their struggles, featured in this week’s episode. You’ll also learn four steps that will help you find purpose no matter what type of challenges you face.
