NLP + Hypnosis – Use Them to Clear Negative Emotions

Are you one of those people who thinks you cannot be hypnotized? SURPRISE! All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, AND you get into the hypnotic brainwave state at least twice a day in typical activities.

You are in the hypnosis brainwave state when you enter that condition (known to some as “la-la land”) right before you fall asleep – and again when you re-emerge from sleep while awakening – before you get to full alert consciousness.

During meditation, you also are in a hypnotic state of mind. Let’s learn the benefits of combining a hypnosis process with Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). I have many tools and techniques to use in personal coaching and spiritual counseling sessions, and I count hypnotherapy and NLP as key components among them. Continue Reading →

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy FAQs – What Do You Want To Know? Ask Me!

Hello, People! Let’s talk about Transpersonal Hypnotherapy and HypnoMeditation! I last published this educational article in 2015, so it might be time for a refresher.

Especially now, it seems relevant as I am embarking on the creation of a series of new HypnoMeditations for people in roles of “caregiver” for cancer patients and people in equally dire circumstances. I’m doing this because of my new affiliation with Flourishing Beyond Cancer, LLC, which is a startup company, being developed by my long-time friends, one of whom is the patient and the other is the caregiver.

Let’s learn about hypnotherapy and HypnoMeditations as they are great tools to use for the release of stress, fears, outworn beliefs, and for meeting new goals. Below are the answers to some FAQS.

Sacred Healing Spaces | Chapters 3 & 4 | The Nervous System

Posted on 01/02/2025 by Nancy Ayanna Wyatt — Leave a reply

Nervous System calming requires both thought and intuition when you are designing healing spaces. Most of us don’t have the luxury of having them built by professionals from a blueprint we helped create. Instead, we are doing what we can, within the areas available to us, to create the best possible outcome for ourselves and our clients. Some of those visitors may be suffering from trauma (known or unknown to us), but we can start with basic interior design or decor principles to help soothe the Soul for everyone.

Hypnotherapy Fears | Some Answers

Posted on 06/27/2024 by Nancy Ayanna Wyatt — Leave a reply

Hypnotherapy fears have never assailed me, so I had to research what people are afraid of and whether those fears are well-founded or are based on myths.

Let’s Play Q & A re Hypnotherapy Fears

Among my certifications is that of Master Hypnotherapist. Since I’m learning how to use AI as a brainstorming tool – as well as for creating art – I decided to ask ChatGPT4 about the major fears many people have as relates to hypnosis and hypnotherapy. I already knew the answers, so it was easy to determine whether the feedback was true. It was, so I’m sharing examples of those results. Of course, I changed the content considerably to make it mine. But the categories are real, as supplied by ChatGPT4. What a time saver!

NLP Techniques Can Take You From Cravings to Conquest

Posted on 05/01/2021 by Nancy Ayanna Wyatt — Leave a reply

NLP can play a surprising role in overcoming food cravings. Learn more in this article and then TRY IT – or book me, so WE can try it together if you want help!

Are You Plagued by Cravings for Sugary or Salty Foods? Help Is Here!

There ARE effective techniques for stemming cravings! Some use the tools of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), and that’s what I’ll describe in this article by providing a video and a script for you to use.

(You also will see some astonishing statistics about the effectiveness of NLP under “Interesting Factoids.”)

In a separate blog Food Combos ~ Do Your Habits Hurt or Enhance Your Health?, I offer information from experts about the proper selection and combining of the foods you eat in each meal.

These affect your health, your weight, your complexion, and more.

In order to make the most of your desire for good health, you can learn all about it by viewing both articles in quick succession.

Note: NLP can be used for an enormous variety of issues (e.g., overcoming fears, phobias, or PTSD) or desires for excellence in achieving (e.g., business success, happiness, harmonious relationships, or spiritual growth), to name a few.

Using your imagination, you can discover many ways in which it could help you in both professional and personal life. If you want to learn more or to book me for a free initial consultation, email GetWellStayWell@Outlook.com and put NLP Inquiry in the subject line. But, first, let’s read this blog!

An Informal Video About Overcoming Cravings

If you can find the patience to watch this short video, you might discover something that can help you – either quickly or with just a teensy little bit of practice! Yes, it’s 15 whole minutes long! For some of you, that’s “forever,” but the information can save you a lifetime of ill-health and excess bodyfat! That would seem to be worth it, right?

(If you prefer, just watch the first part. It is a bit of an NLP exercise about substituting a desire to replace cravings for sugar and flour-laden desserts with a desire to eat fruit. It runs to about 6 1/2 minutes into this informal presentation. Skip the rest of the nutritional info, and then, you can scroll down for the NLP script plus the other tips.)

Life Coach? Why Hire One? What To Expect If You Do!

Posted on 03/21/2018 by Nancy Ayanna Wyatt — Leave a reply

Life Coach – We invented the concept, but is it valuable?

So, You Want or Need to CHANGE YOUR LIFE?

Why Hire A Life Coach?

Nancy Wyatt dressed in white giving a speech at networking meeting

Nancy Wyatt speaking at Girl Boss Networking on How To Give An Effective Elevator Speech and Expand It for Other Purposes

In part, that depends on what you want to solve by hiring a Life Coach.Each Coach is different, and each Client is different. In fact, the same Client may have different needs, as they grow and learn. There are several main categories. For example, you might choose to Change Your Life in areas like:

Attitude
Habits
Career
Health
Relationships
Spiritual Practices
Stress or PTSD/Trauma Symptoms.

Maybe you:

have suffered a great loss.
want to get over a fear of public speaking.
aspire to write a book.
choose not to feel like a victim anymore.

Maybe you’re just in transition as you Age to a new Stage!

Nancy (Ayanna) Wyatt wants to meet you!

If you hire me, as your Change Your Life Coach, here’s what you should expect and what you’ll get for your investment of time and money.

(Note: if you hire me as a personal growth or spiritual counselor, the ethics are the same. However, we have tools which may help you delve into the past or causes of current issues. We shall explore beliefs and emotions related to things you’d like to overcome. This link will take you to my NancyKnows.us site to explain the difference between coaching and counseling. That site is under construction – pardon our mess!”)

Because I am certified in both Life Coaching and Spiritual Counseling, as well as in Hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, and other techniques, we can “mix and match.” You’ll get to choose and change as we go Change Your Life for the better.

What Should You Expect from Me as Your Life Coach?

You should expect:

The highest degree of ethics and confidentiality, per the Change Your Life Code of Ethics.
Both of us to live up to the terms of the Change Your Life Coaching Agreement. This agreement can be customized, if the template does not meet our mutual needs, and we would discuss this in the free initial consultation.
To leave our sessions with:
1. An objective
2. Steps to follow to meet that objective
3. A timeframe within which to accomplish it.

Below, I have provided a chart to show you the kinds of things we might explore in our work together.

There are more categories and more options. I just want to give you a sense of things to consider in deciding what you want to do, since it is you who will do the work. I’m your guide, but I can’t do it for you.
I’ll be happy to answer questions during the free 30-minute consultation we’ll have in-person or by phone to decide if we’re a good match for meeting your needs.
You will be able to choose individual sessions or Change Your Life Packages to save money while you invest in yourself. (See chart at the end of this page)

Again, a Coach is not a Counselor. What we do in coaching is offer guidance in resolving current “Real Life Issues” while maintaining spiritual and ethical integrity concerning others and the Self. We don’t look back. We start with the “Now.” We find stress reduction and creative options for change that will enhance health in body, mind, spirit, and emotions. This often involves multiple steps in goal setting and achievement within a specified deadline. I’ll give you tools and will be your “accountability partner.” That could involve being your cheerleader, your confidante, and/or she who kicks you in the appropriate place to get you moving.

Change Your Life – Themes and Associated Activities for Life Coaching Sessions

Again, these are just some possibilities. I also may refer you to others. Whatever we do will be customized just for you as an individual or as the group that hired me. It will be fun, fascinating, irritating, and beneficial. There will be times you love me and, perhaps, times you hate me; but, we’ll always seek the Highest Good For All Concerned.

Putting Yourself First for A Change: A Self-Care Checklist

Posted on 05/30/2017 by Nancy Ayanna Wyatt — Leave a reply

Putting Yourself First for A Change

As we know, all cultural training teaches women to take care of their family’s needs as the highest priority and at any cost. As nurturing spirits, we often extend that caring behavior to include everyone but ourselves. The result can be difficulty in “saying no,” setting boundaries and addressing one’s own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. NOW is the time to change our minds – in a GOOD way.

Each of us is just as valuable and worthy of loving attention as anyone else in the world. Let’s first recognize that and then act like it!

Among the many classes I teach, I facilitate classes and workshops on Putting Yourself First for a Change. They are based on my

CHANGE YOUR LIFE Self-Care Checklist.

Here are some examples that we will discuss. Continue Reading →

HypnoBirthing® with Sarojini Changkakoti

Posted on 04/01/2016 by Nancy Ayanna Wyatt — Leave a reply

HypnoBirthing

What Is HypnoBirthing®?

This content is provided by Guest Contributor, Sarojini (Sara) Alva Chagkakoti.

Master Teacher, Sarojini (Sara) Alva Changkakoti teaches HypnoBirthing

Wikipedia says:

Hypnotherapy in childbirth refers to the use of hypnotherapy to assist in the birthing process. This practice, known as hypnobirthing, functions on the premise that most labour-related pain is the result of fear and tension, which can be diminished^[1] or anecdotally eliminated with hypnotherapy. Research into this practice has found reductions in pain during birthing,^[1]^[2] Hypnobirthing may also impact the duration of labour and reduces surgical interventions during delivery.

Before Sara “talks,” here is a Note from Nancy about HypnoBirthing®

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) – It Works and It Rocks!

Posted on 06/09/2015 by Nancy Ayanna Wyatt — Leave a reply

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)

Guess what I just learned! NLP!

As usual, I am scattering my seeds in many directions (like a good dandelion).

I just got my certificate of completion from Dr. Yvonne (Oswald) in a class on Neuro-Linguistic Programming, better known as NLP.

This is an amazing technique that helps people overcome “stuck” issues (like emotional or psychological issues, fears, and limiting beliefs) in a fraction of the time it would take using other techniques and without having to relive every single, torturous moment of what caused the reaction to the causal event.

Are You: Walking a Tightrope?

Feeling Insecure or Confused?

Wondering How To Overcome Obstacles?

Looking For New Direction?

Neuro-linguistic Programming May Help Enormously!

You can go to a psychiatrist for twenty years, or you can take an NLP “break-through” session for 5 hours, and I’d bet you a double fudge chocolate ice cream cone that the NLP will work far better and much faster!

In order to get my certification as an NLP professional, I have to complete 30 hours of NLP practice and pass an exam. If you live near me, I’d love for you to help me by scheduling a practice session with me. My (beautiful, British, now Canadian, world-renowned) instructor assured us that people will benefit greatly, even though students are not yet fully comfortable in conducting the sessions. (In the future, I’ll be able to do it by Skype or other media, but I prefer practicing in person.)

I advise you to take advantage of this opportunity, because the actual sessions are priced at $150/hour or $500 for a breakthrough session. For the first volunteers, I’ll give 5 hours free (the $500 value), after which I’ll charge the normal hourly rate. So, ACT NOW, as they say!

The Founders of Neuro-linguistic Programming

John Grinder (linguistics) and Richard Bandler (mathematics and Gestalt therapy) created NLP to generate models of excellence. However, these techniques apply to every area of life, including, but not limited to, business. Lots of information is available on the NLP founders’ website. In brief, they say that

“NLP is founded on two fundamental presuppositions:1. The Map is Not the Territory…we can never know reality. We can only know our perceptions of reality….It is generally not reality that limits us or empowers us, but rather our map of reality. 2. Life and ‘Mind’ are Systemic Processes. It is not possible to completely isolate any part of the system from the rest of the system.”

You can get much more detail on their website.

Combining Neuro-linguistic Programming with Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Accounts for My Next Disappearing Act

Yes, I’m about to do it again, which means that my posts will continue to be “irregular,” to put it politely. Soon, I’ll be attending a certification class, so I can provide hypnosis techniques, along with the NLP, to help people overcome traumas and dramas in their lives or simply to become more successful.

If you think you’ve never meditated or been capable of being hypnotized, just think back to a time when you stared at a sunset/sunrise, or a flickering candle flame, or a fireplace. You were there, Baby Cakes! You were there in your Alpha brain wave state or deeper. It is so relaxing and rejuvenating! I already know how to do this, but I want to get the certification to prove it. I’ll have to pass an exam and hold practice sessions for that, too, so stay tuned!

Why Would I Learn Neuro-linguistic Programming and Other Techniques to Relieve Stress and Enhance Healing?

These are just more tools in my toolbox for being able to help people meet their own needs. Let’s explore together. Contact me with questions, or to schedule a session (still free during the practice sessions, but definitely not thereafter!)

Sip & Share Session on Zoom

If you want an initial FREE consultation, let’s schedule a Sip & Share Session on Zoom. Use the contact form below or email me at GetWellStayWell@Outlook.com and put “Request Sip & Share” in the subject line. In the message, tell me what you want to discuss. I’ll coordinate schedules with you, and we’ll chat about your needs and my services. I won’t press you to buy anything…promise.
