Why Stage Hypnosis Won’t Automatically Make You a Great Therapist

Why Stage Hypnosis Won’t Automatically Make You a Great Therapist Viral TikTok "Hypnosis" Videos 📷. Let’s get real—everyone’s got their own path. This might be one of those things you need to explore for yourself. Like anything else in life, experience (especially personal experience) is everything. That said, I can offer some honest insight. As someone who’s done hypnotherapy and taken the stage for comedy, laughter, and entertainment—I’ve seen both sides. Stage hypnosis is flashy. It grabs attention. It’s fun. But let’s talk about what’s not so glamorous. The Downsides of Stage Work: You're always working weekends Constant gigs (hello, burnout) Travel = time away from family Inconsistent income and bookings Now don’t get me wrong—there’s nothing like the energy of a live show. But if you’re craving something deeper, something more grounded… ask yourself: What do you really want to do? If the answer is “help people transform” or “guide lasting change,” then ...

"Qigong Meets Hypnosis—And My Brain Has Never Felt Better!"

Tapping Into the Mind: My Path to Calm (and a Bit of Muscle Too) If you told me years ago that I'd be geeking out over the power of the mind, practicing self-hypnosis, and doing slow-motion martial arts in my living room, I probably would’ve laughed and carried on lifting weights. But here we are. My journey toward calm, happiness, and just feeling more me started with a deep curiosity about how the mind works. That curiosity led me into Eastern philosophy, then psychology, and eventually to some fascinating practices like guided imagery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and hypnotherapy. Basically, I’ve become a bit of a personal development sponge. One of the things I’ve stuck with the longest—over 12 years now—is Hypnosis & Qigong. Think of it as graceful movements, kind of like Tai Chi's cool cousin, paired with mindful breathing. I've learned the basics through classes, YouTube dives, and plenty of self-study. What keeps me coming back is how much be...

"Becoming"

"Becoming" At 31, I stand at a crossroads, the map smudged, the signs unclear. I teach, I try, I give what I can— in classrooms, in conversations, in quiet moments of hope. I chase dreams between Zoom calls and hypnotherapy sessions, wondering what legacy lingers after the lights go out. There was once a fire— promise, potential, drive. Is it still there? Buried, maybe. But not gone. I go to the gym, fight battles no one sees: a slice of pizza, a whisper of doubt. But I show up— and that counts for something. I may not know what the future looks like, but I know this: I’m still becoming. And maybe, just maybe, that’s enough for now

"Mind-Blown! The Surprising Secret Behind How We Really Learn"

  Passive vs Active Learning: A Personal Take Over time, I’ve realized that not all learning is the same. Some of it just sinks in without us even noticing, while other times, we’re fully engaged, putting in the effort. Both have their place, but they work in very different ways. Honestly, understanding the difference between passive and active learning has totally changed how I think about personal growth and teaching. Let’s Talk About Passive Learning Passive learning is what happens when we’re just taking things in — like listening to a podcast, watching a teacher speak, or even hearing conversations in the background. If we’re in a relaxed state, our minds tend to soak up information more easily. And it’s not just facts — we absorb beliefs, behaviours, and even emotions. Especially when we’re younger, we pick up a lot from the people around us — parents, teachers, friends. This kind of learning happens quietly, often without us realising it. It’s why certain phrases, habits,...

🚴‍♂️ Active Alert Hypnosis: Yes, You Can Be Hypnotized While Power Walking Through Walmart

  🚴‍♂️ Active Alert Hypnosis: Yes, You Can Be Hypnotized While Power Walking Through Walmart By Andrew Z Let’s get something straight: hypnosis isn’t all swinging pocket watches and “you are feeling sleepy” nonsense. I mean, sure, that works — if you’re a Victorian ghost. But here in the land of the living, the caffeinated, and the perpetually online, I’ve got something juicier for you: Active Alert Hypnosis . Now, what is it? Imagine you're in a trance while moving . Yes. You heard that right. Eyes open. Heart pumping. Legs doing their thing. And your mind? Quietly tuning into the most powerful version of itself like a spiritual ninja on a treadmill. This ain’t your grandma’s recliner hypnosis. I discovered this little gem while messing around with trance states during hiking, dancing, and at one point, mowing the lawn while reciting mantras (don't try that unless your neighbors are chill). What I found was this: movement sharpens trance. You’re not zoning out — you’re zo...
