It would seem that most weeks Machine Knives there is an article some place or another highlighting

that a celebrity has visited a hypnotherapist for weight loss, or stopping smoking, or

perhaps to gain a sporting edge or to cure a phobia. Whatever a celebrity does always

creates media attention, but when a famous person sees a hypnotherapist the media circus

escalates and it frequently creates front page news. Why is this? Is hypnotherapy

really perceived as THAT unusual?

Hypnotherapy is still seen by many as a bit off-beat,

even though it is a perfectly normal and natural art, just as yoga or meditation is

normal and natural. Paul McKenna has done a fantastic job in promoting the value of

hypnotherapy to the everyday person. He began his hypnotic career as a stage hypnotist

which made a lot of people aware of the powerfulness of hypnosis; whilst over recent

years McKenna has focused his attention on promoting its therapeutic benefits, turning

his back on the stage hypnotist's arena, even referring to his stage career as his "past

life".

There is nothing which promotes the use of hypnotherapy as effectively as the

news that another celebrity has sought its help. Another massive group of people

suddenly become aware of hypnotherapy and inevitably ask the question "could it be of

help to ME?" Could you, like Lily Allen, reduce your size from 12 to 8 with the help of

hypnosis, instead of struggling to stick to yet another diet or, worse still, risk the

knife to either cut away your fatty tissues or halve your stomach's capacity? (Sophie

Dahl and Geri Halliwell are two of several other celebrities who have been in the news

due to their use of hypnotherapy in their quest to lose weight.)

Or perhaps you could

learn to hole the ball like Tiger when you're on the 18th green? We're told he started

using hypnosis at a very early age, and I doubt anyone would question his mental

strength and tenacity to succeed. So many celebrities have used hypnosis in so many

different ways; it would almost be easier to list those who have not benefitted from its

use. It would seem that the more talented and successful one is the more likely you are

to seek the advantages which hypnosis can confer. Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Mozart,

Kevin Costner...so many great and talented people's names have been linked with

hypnosis. And this shouldn't come as a surprise.

Those people who have given their all

to achieve the highest levels of ability and success share in common the habit of

leaving no stone unturned in their thirst for knowledge, perfection, success or

achievement, or whatever else it is they are passionate about. They have the mentality

to question things, to seek cause and effect, as opposed to just accept things as they

are or to believe everything that they are told. Limits to such great minds are not

boundaries by which they are constrained; rather, limits tease their minds to find a way

to stretch and overcome them.

Such people would not dream of using anything without

first researching why and how it might work for them. They will have made an informed

choice when making their decision to seek the services of a hypnotherapist. Most

celebrities who turn to hypnosis do so because they have researched it and understand

how powerful its assistance can be. They also have a burning desire, a passion to

succeed and so will go to greater lengths than most in order to succeed. And this is a

major key in whether or not it will be successful; if you were just to give it a whirl

then you are not committed to what you are doing.

If you were to ask any of these

people how much effort they expended in the use of hypnosis and how this equated to

their level of success, they would ALL say that hypnosis was easy, quick, natural and

took very little time, whilst the benefits were truly amazing. The benefits are huge

compared to the effort spent. And this is why so many successful people use hypnosis.

Hypnosis isn't just available to the select few. It's available and affordable to

almost everyone. You can get a free hypnosis download from my website and try it for

yourself. But first, read up about it; Google "hypnotherapy" and make an informed

choice to use it to your advantage. Emulate those people who have achieved the greatest

success and be committed to whatever it is you want to do, whether it's losing 20 pounds

in weight, stopping smoking, playing in the Open or becoming a billionaire.

If there is

one thing to learn from great achievers it is to put 110% into what you do instead of

making a half hearted effort.
