Free 8 hour theta binaural beats audio track
Theta binaural beats are sounds that can help you enter a state of deep relaxation or light sleep. They may also help you reduce anxiety, enhance creativity, and achieve a hypnotic state.

I'm still losing weight too, just more slowly...and more sustainably...than I've ever done before. My A1c is down to just 51, from 95 and I'm now stopping some medication as my weight continues to reduce. It feels amazing … [Read more...] about How I got my weight and diabetes under control
3 hypnosis myths
It’s no secret that there are many misconceptions regarding hypnosis. Between stage shows where the hypnotist has people strutting around like chickens or forgetting their own name, to believing they’re the King and able to speak a Martian language.

You can’t … [Read more...] about 3 hypnosis myths
