FEATURE ARTICLE

What's Your Question?

At the beginning of each year I host an “Envisioning Party.” Friends gather with magazines and scissors. We then sprawl on the carpet, intuitively cut out pictures that appeal to us and glue them on poster-board. Yes, it does look a little bit like a kindergarten class but the process is powerful! And each subsequent year people tell me that their “visions” or deepest desires did come true.

 
This creative activity allows the Sub-Conscious Mind to speak in its language of pictures, symbols and feelings.
It differs from the usual goal-setting, financial aims or business plan which would come from the logical Conscious Mind. What manifests in the following months is usually the essence of the desires, whether it is more balance, fun, creativity, adventure, learning etc… And occasionally it is very specific, such as a loving relationship or a more fulfilling career.

 
I now realize that this process is so powerful because it involves listening, not telling. There are no “Should’s” but rather questions. There are no accusatory “Why’s?” (such as “Why aren’t I getting what I want?”), but rather curious “How’s?” It is an open-ended and wondering attitude that can explore all possibilities.

 
Before we started tearing through magazines this time, I asked each of us to share what question we wanted this year to fulfill. How would this year be different if we could hold the question in front of us, like a beacon lighting the way? (Very different than demanding a result!)

 
The questions my friends proposed were very personal, such as: “How can I have more balance while taking care of my parents?” “How can I have more fun while feeling overwhelmed with work and three children?” “What is my soul’s true purpose this year?” “How can I be totally present to each precious day?” I especially loved this one –“What is the next loving thing I can do for myself?”

 
What I’ve discovered in Hypnotherapy is that the Sub-Conscious mind is immensely creative. When we take the time to listen and then give voice or picture to it, it has the opportunity to powerfully give us what we need!

Coincidences fall into place, people show up and we are motivated to exert necessary discipline. Life ceases to be such a demanding struggle and more of a curious adventure.

 
Just wondering, what’s your question?

 
(And if you are wondering how to be more in control of cravings, negative emotions or motivation or how you can get a better night’s sleep, check out the upcoming workshops.)

FEATURED SUCCESS STORIES

Sunflower
“After 4 sessions in your office last year I still listen to the CD's and do self-hypnosis daily. This helped me to reduce the intake of my pain medication for my back pain by 75 %. I previously had epidurals and acupuncture. Neither worked for me- but the Hypnotherapy does. Thank you!”
-- Sigi Oberlaender, Indialantic

 “The self-hypnosis techniques Dr. Doner teaches are extremely beneficial to our patients with chronic insomnia and stress. We also learned to quickly relax in any situation in our daily lives. In just a couple of seconds I can take a mental vacation to the Florida Keys!”
-- Lauren Butler, Sleep Disorder Center, Sebastian River Medical Center, Sebastian, FL. 

“When I started Hypnotherapy I was such a totally mess that it scared me and my family. I couldn’t sleep or eat due to my high anxiety level and pain.  I had lost over 51 pounds over a two month period and was hospitalized three times. After my first session, I finally slept for the first night in over 2 months! Through the sessions, CDs, Emotional Freedom Technique and other healing therapies I’m finally happy again. I’ve gained over 21 pounds and have a remarkable difference in my over-all well-being.”
-- Lynne Ward, Melbourne

FOOD FOR THOUGHTapple

Your Sub-Conscious Mind contains great wisdom and boundless creativity. Its language is imagination and emotion. And in order to listen to it and speak to it you must use its language. (Artists know this and the media uses this!)

So, in order to leave behind confusion and indecision, you can choose to give your Sub-Conscious Mind a direction of possibilities.

  • Simply ask a question, such as “How would I like to be, feel or experience my life? What types of people or places make me happy? What really fulfills me? How can I take excellent care of myself?”
  • Then put yourself into self-hypnosis, a day-dreaming setting or look through magazines and notice what comes. (Or have a Hypnotherapist guide you.)
  • Trust that your creative Sub-Conscious Mind contains all you have ever seen, done or thought. It cares deeply about you. Just trust that the answers are there, now or later, in a book or a dream…

When you keep this question and the answers in mind, the keys to fulfilling your desires will also emerge over time. 

Then it’s up to you to act!
