What can Hypnosis do for you?   

First: relaxation

You will learn to relax through post-hypnotic suggestions in a peaceful environment. Relaxation is at the core of hypnosis. Indeed a relaxed person is healthier on all levels, physical, mental and emotional.

During a session you get positive messages suggested to your subconscious mind. This will predominate over negative messages you may tend to have, such as "maybe I can" versus " I can!" "I will do it!" "I will stop smoking!" "I will eat smaller healthy portions of food".

Hypnosis helps if you struggle with the following:

• Weight loss
• Wish to stop smoking
• Confidence, motivation, self-esteem
• Fear of public speaking / giving conferences / leading workshops
• Lack of relaxation, stress
• Fears  - of flying, travelling, social unease, etc.
• Insomnia  - sleeping and snoring
• Pain - control of pain
• Grief
• Perspective on life
• Letting go of the past
• Create your own future / motivation
• Relationships (ending a relationship, forgetting the past, moving forward)
• Finding lost items
• Clutter - house, office...
• Lack of self-confidence
• and more...

Lynne Cardinal is a member in good standing with the National Guild of Hypnotists.

Meditation

"The brain waves of meditators show why they're healthier. Neuroscientists have found that meditators shift their brain activity to different areas of the cortex—brain waves in the stress-prone right frontal cortex move to the calmer left frontal cortex. In other words, they were calmer and happier than before." - Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., of the University of Massachusetts Medical School

This meditation class will teach you various basic meditation, visualisation and relaxation techniques. This class is offered in a friendly environment, giving you the opportunity to learn amongst the greatest stress management tools, as well as means to focus your mind and live with greater awareness.

Just a few of the many comments from the people taking our meditation class:

"Regular meditation has dramatically improved the quality of my life. I enjoy every day more. I feel less affected by stress, and worry much less. I used to have difficulty sleeping quite often, but that rarely happens now. I feel more rested with fewer hours of sleep, and have more energy throughout the day. I very much enjoy Lynne and Jürgen's teaching style." Brent Marshal

"Meditation with Lynne is helping me cope with stress and to ground me. As a single mom with two teenagers, a young adult and a full time job, life is very busy. I find that since I have started meditating I see situations with more perspective and clarity." Bonnie Graham, Health Canada

"Thank you for another awesome meditation class tonight. I sure left feeling calm, peaceful and strong." Anna Kemeny, Statistic Canada

"As you have said all along, meditating every day makes a BIG difference. I go deeper sooner and am able to be more present during the rest of the day. In fact, on Wednesday I had a wonderful day with my Mom (meaning I didn't get stressed out at all). For some reason I can't get myself together in the morning to do the meditation then, but evenings seem to work so I'm going with that for the time being. Also, it's nice to do it just before going to bed as it calms me down, puts me in a serene mood and makes me sleep well." A.

"The difference between a good week and a not so good week is based on whether I meditated that week. Meditation has provided me with the greatest stress management tool." B.

"I love the philosophy expressed in the classes, the variety, and it's many angles, allowing for a more practical understanding of mind, emotions, anxiety and focus. I love the relaxed and warm environment, your teaching style which is inspiring and practical." J.
