Holidays and good Cheer All Around

I am finding I so enjoy sharing my thoughts, my journey, both past and current with you. There have been several constructive comments about my blogs. One thing that I know to be true is that all of us enjoy reading and learning.  There are a lot of very good articles, blogs, ezines, podcasts, books, magazines and so forth that come to all of us all the time.  One comment that has come up is the length of my blogs.  So, I am going to shorten my blogs.  I too get so much to read that I enjoy but when the writers article/blog etc., are a bit shorter, it is a real pleasure. 

In the future, you will be able to read the beginning of my blog, and if you want to read more (though shorter), you can click on the link.  This is already available on Facebook.  Please continue to share your comments and suggestions as I continue to enjoy looking forward to writing and sharing with you.

As you see, my business is beginning to expand and grow in a variety of creative and potent ways.  I am so grateful to the people and organizations that are offering me time to continue spreading the word about hypnosis and its multitude of benefits….as well as the myths and un-truths.  I will have a greater chance to do some speaking about this on local TV next month! And possibly an interview with a local paper!  Again, so amazing to watch and be part of this synchronicity.  It continues to connect me with others of like mind.  I am beginning to see strong roots taking hold in my life and business and beginning to grow. 

In early December I have chosen to take a very unique and impressive course in hypnosis that is for weight reduction.  This is being taught by one of the long time masters of hypnotism.  He has developed a computerized system for analyzing the type of person and creating a personalized program for each.  This system took years to develop and I am very interested in being on this cutting edge.  From his many years of experience, he addresses the many deeper issues, roots and causes of weight gain.  This is a specialized area and it is something that many people have asked me about. Weight loss or reduction is one of the most challenging areas to address and I am looking forward to getting on board.  Of course, it begins with the person as it has been found that there are over thirty million variations. Now, there is a plan for everyone that wants to reduce, lose and get on with their lives.   I am ready and for those of you that have spoken to me about this….get ready!

The Great American Smoke out 2 day workshops are coming up.  Again, if you or someone you know is ready to be a non-smoker, this is the venue for it!  It is free and no RSVP.  Just show up and leave a non-smoker forever. Check out my website or call for any information.  I am so happy to be being hosted to give these workshops by the Phoenixville YMCA.  What a feeling to be there to assist people to begin a relationship with themselves further and to see their commitment at work.  We are very powerful, we human beings.  We just forget and some have forgotten.  I want to guide people who come to me to remember our strength.

Then my husband and I are taking off on our first river boat cruise for 10 days in Europe….More later and..

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU!

This magnificent time of year cometh…

 As the autumn slowly draws nearer, I am reminded how I love the colors, energy and bittersweet feelings of watching the process of deep sleep take over.  But in that wonder of itself I am also reminded of what I know , that the leaves create a blanket for the plants and seeds to continue their life for the next season.  The leaves give of themselves willingly to protect and nourish.  They also are a great deal of fun in areas where there are children that jump in the piles laughing and squealing! As I grew up all over the New England/Long Island area, at this time of year we burned the leaves and it smelled so good. Seeing the white smoke climb and swirl high on sunny or cloudy days with the hickory fragrances touched something wonderful inside of me.  Some people had gatherings with food and friends to celebrate the autumn equinox. 

Life in all Her magnificence should be recognized.  People are like that too.  We are nature in another form (a bit more complex), and go through the changes, ups and downs of our lives.  How do we see it all?  There can’t be any sun without shade or growth without challenges.  Some are more intense than others but, I believe that if we trust in the Process of Life and Pay Attention to where our Attention is focused, well, it works pretty well. 

We are all very powerful beings.   There can be a calming time, a turbulent time, rain, earthquakes, snow and sunshine.  If we can develop some type of understanding, to embrace the idea that change and right thinking do go hand in hand.   That this natural power we possess can be called on and utilized to get us feeling connected to our life and what it is and where we want to go with our life.

 It is always a choice and a choice we should take seriously.  We are capable of creating our world, our symphony of life.  How can we realize or know when we reach the top of the mountain or our goal(s) until we pay attention.  The little steps are so important. I like to remember, when I am in the valley that is the time to plant my seeds of inspiration or goals…that is where the soil is most fertile. If you are in a confusing or difficult time,  be patient…get support from whatever source or sources you feel is right for you…the time will pass and grow to magnificence if you allow it. 

It appears to me once again that when I am on the right track that the most amazing things happen.  Meeting people, seeing things as I go through my day, reading something in a passing magazine.  Do you feel that also at times?    

I have also begun my expanded practice of HypnoCoaching.  At the best of times, life transitions can be difficult in many ways.  Not knowing where we are going in life, work, relationships and so many other questions about life can come up.  These times of transition can become easier and clearer with the right kind of support.  My phone is always available for questions and answers!

I am being wonderfully entertained with a bevy of ideas for my new business which I know is also my unique journey/walk in life.  We all have a unique journey and the more we become aware of these individual gifts/talents, then the law of synchronicity really starts to kick in!  Stay tuned.

I now am really going forward with Facebook and LinkedIn to let people know Inner Harvest is alive and well!  I have a wonderful person on my team that is quite excellent at knowing how to set these ideas up and the technical know-how to do it!  There will be surveys, contests and other unique opportunities for you as well as me in building Inner Harvest Hypnosis.  I promise for those who may not be a computer whiz, it will all be easy and user friendly!

Several events have been posted that  I will be involved with over the next few months and next year.  .  PLEASE CLICK ON THIS LINK TO FACEBOOK AND ALSO LET ME KNOW IF YOU” LIKE” THE  UPDATES AND SPECIALS FROM INNER HARVEST.   (http://www.facebook.com/InnerHarvestHypnosis)  The calendar will be added to in time and I will let you know.  Please feel free to always check out my growing website for any new information.

 I have also begun “Recommended Reads…”  This will allow you to see my picks in different genres and if it looks inviting, to just click on and it will take you to Amazon where you can find the best deal.

I am back from the NGH (National Guild of Hypnotists) Convention where I met other colleagues from all over the world.  I am still amazed at the depth and experience of the instructors and everyone I had the pleasure to spend time with!   Once again, I was quietly assured I was on my chosen path and with so much support and knowledge to reach out to.

A Few Newlines…

A report from the Better Health

July 2011

GRAPE EXPECTATIONS  …The secret to healthy living might be all in your head, suggest researchers from McGill University.  They instructed volunteers to boost their intake of fresh fruit over 7 days.   The twist on this is that ½ the participants also were told to visualize when and where they would eat the fruit.  In the end, people that had mentally rehearsed upped their fruit intake by 116%!

That is what the power of the mind is all about.  If the mind (subconscious) believes it….it is so!

Have a lovely, fruitful season!

Ready and open for business! 

I want to thank all of the wonderful people that have supported me through my classes and up to this point of becoming certified as a Consulting Hypnotist!  I am currently continuing to add more life guiding techniques to my satchel of tools.   Thank you all for your encouragement and trusting me with yourselves to volunteer your precious time so I could continue to develop my new business and techniques.

As you can see, the web site is up and I am so happy with the creative and in-depth work it took.  I also am so pleased with the pictures and logo…all the graphics.  My deepest gratitude to my “team!” It will be an on-going marriage of ideas and work as I plan to really build and focus in on my niches and then more expansion.  So, please be a part of this birthing and expansion with me.  I couldn’t and can’t do it without you!

I have short term and long term plans.  All of which I will gladly share with you but I am wise enough to know that as my path continues with my new work, the plans will change and reshape as new ideas are formed.

It has always been my plan to be the guide my clients needed to reach their greatest dreams (which come in many forms), but also, to teach everyone to do their own self-hypnosis, tapping (see my website for more information), imagery…whatever modality we use in the course of our time together.  I want to empower the individual with knowledge.  We are all unique and the way we learn, hear and respond to issues/behavioral changes/fears can be so very different.

I plan to be doing a lot of speaking and eventually create workshops for groups of all types.  If you have any ideas for me as well as a company, a shop, an organization or just a group of friends that are like-minded…..please let me know.  I am very open to creating custom topics for you or someone else!  

I look forward to any comments you would like to share!  I also would like for you to give me a call if you feel there are areas of concern that need attention for yourself.  I will always suggest an initial free consultation.  That will allow me and you the time to discuss many areas.  It will also give me a clear idea of how many sessions and the level of time that may be involved.

I would love for you to click the link to my web site in the future so you can see it and any upcoming news or classes that may be offered.  These of course I will always let you know of any way but, it is a very user friendly site and as time moves forward, I have ideas of other “pages.”

www.kassiasobey.com

If you do decide to click on the link in the future, just then simply click on the blog page.  Please share your thoughts with me on just clicking instead of receiving the whole blog by e-mail.  This important to me!   I would like my web site to be a source of information as well.  Perhaps later an E-Zine quarterly filled with interesting news about the mind and health relating to my fields of interest and business world. 

I have been asked early on by friends and former colleagues if I would also be a virtual office.  Yes, I will be open to Skype, Gmail voice/video and any others that may be out there.  I have researched this and have found that many successful hypnotists have used this way for quite a long time.  My current office locations at this point are in Wayne at the Center of Success, and in Phoenixville.  I am looking into other locations for it to be easier for people to get to as well.  Time will tell.

Please share with me your comments and thoughts about anything.  I am always very interested!

Warmest wishes,

Kas

Well, currently I am in a class to become certified in one of my many life interests, hypnosis. Yes, the mind does control everything. Now, with this certification under “my belt,” and a few other related fields I also choose to become qualified in, I will be able to help others as a professional and also further/broaden my own personal areas of growth.
My Web site will be: www.kassiasobey.com and is currently under “construction.” I have chosen the name Inner Harvest as my business identity with the assistance of a good friend who is herself a professional coach and entrepreneur.
Nine months ago, I read a very inspiring book by authoress and speaker: Tama J. Kieves. Through her organization I found a creative coach that is closer geographically. She is vey remarkable, wonderful woman who is also very easy to co-create with. She absolutely catalyzed me into seeing this change of life! The power and unlimited potential of the mind is one subject I have always loved to study and share;. I originally was looking to begin and enhance my creative side…writing, collages, photography. Ha…ah, the wonders of the mind and intuitive side! I too was able to enhance but with an added benefit of a new profession!
I am becoming poised to apply my talents and experience in ways I only recently will be bringing to the forefront of my new professional life. Being able to relax people into a deeply relaxed state, deep enough to guide them towards creating new behaviors or enhancing some areas of their life, well, this is my joy. I will be happily involving myself also in the birthing of babies as I look forward to studying this in depth with a certified HypnoBirthing® expert.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT®) is an energetic way to quickly and successfully work with acupoints while tapping and working on a problem to alleviate it. This was a discovery by Gary Craig, recently retired, and his following the early reports and study of Dr. Roger Callahan and many others. There is much alliance between this and Nero Linguistic Programming (NLP®). NLP is a beautiful compliment for all the above and any of these techniques can be used alone or as a combination to guide and support an individual on all levels. We are all very unique and what works for one person may not work for another. This fact is important to me as a practitioner and my reason for having some very successful tools in my satchel. More on these areas later as I become more grounded in more knowledge.

Welcome to a new, refreshing me. I owe thanks to many people helping me to create my new image and business life. Many new photographs have been taken capturing my newness and growth of enthusiasm. The photos were taken by a very talented professional woman. Still to come business cards et al. I could not have done anything up to this point without these folks. Very exciting and it seems to just flow very naturally. Right path for me? Yes, I do believe! All these individuals will be mentioned on my site as they are also in business and are part of my “team.” The web site will be up at sometime in May and will grow as I do and I feel rather quickly….
I feel I am blossoming more and more into the person I am meant to be. This is my time to stretch and is also the time for so many others to stretch as well. I would love to be part of guiding others towards a fuller, healthier Inner Harvest. I like to remember what someone once told me that “the more fertilizer that goes into your garden, the more beautiful it becomes!” Regardless of age or circumstances, potential is within all of us. Boldly or slowly moving forward, it doesn’t matter…just to moving is productive…sideways, one step backward and then the forward motion in steps or leaps is what I believe what we are here for! I dream of writing a novel or some short stories, using water colors, traveling more around the planet. All in time and not feeling like I have to but that I just enjoy it and want to when the time is ripe. Our destiny is ours to choose and create. Let’s take action and begin. I hope to be part of your garden of life…Your Inner Harvest.
