When asked, “What do you want from life?” the answer given most often is, “To be happy”. In our eternal quest for that sometimes elusive state of being, we might try any number of things to boost our present happiness quotient. Perhaps playing ball, racing motorcycles, buying new clothes, or eating chocolate cake “makes you happy”. When “the quest” remains eternal, because the desired result hasn’t been achieved, we need to redefine what we’re searching for and how to acquire it. In recent years a Harvard professor, Tal Ben-Shahar showed students that there is a science to acquiring happiness.

Come On – Be Happy By R.D. Cooper
I was once introduced in Las Vegas as “the happiest hypnotist on the planet”. That particular feeling we experience seems to provide an inner peace and completion. It’s intangible. It’s abstract. It can’t be seen or touched—only experienced. And we all strive to be “happy” and desire that for our children of the world.

And I can’t tell you why, no baby, I can’t tell you why.”
Self-Confidence Booster Engine By R.D. Cooper
We would all like to feel confident, with an ability to believe in ourselves in all situations. Beyond that, it would be great if at least we didn’t become fearful in situations where the fear was actually a little irrational. We’ve all been there. If a less than stellar performance has no real consequence regarding our total wellness, is it worth getting anxious about? What tools are available to us to bolster self-assuredness and performance? Many use imagery or hypnosis.
Will Hypnosis Help Make You Thin? By R.D. Cooper
Are you tired of transporting twenty or more pounds of excess fat? Tired of weight loss plans that don’t perform? Tried all kinds of plans and still searching for one that works? Hypnotherapy could be the solution available for you. No, it doesn’t perform miracles. It’s not a quick fix that instantly allows you to enjoy workouts. It is a deep state of focused relaxation that may help you re-program outdated attitudes and beliefs about what you eat while fine-tuning a healthy bodyweight.
