Alchemical Hypnotherapy works with Inner Guides in transforming the base metal of unconscious emotion and conflict into the gold of self-realization, utilizing a light trance state and interactive dialog between aspects of the self and higher self.  Inner child, past-life, and subpersonality work are included.

Hypnotherapy is a professional occupation recognized by the U.S. Dictionary of Occupational Titles, utilizing hypnosis to help clients achieve specific goals such as weight loss, smoking cessation or improved athletic and vocation al performance.  Hypnotherapy is a faster and more direct method for achieving these objectives.  It has created a great deal of interest in recent years and is changing many helping professions because it is so effective.

Alchemy is often thought of as the ancient science of transforming base metals into gold; however, the ancient alchemists were in fact primarily concerned with transforming the human spirit (with the façade of "chemistry" serving to protect them from persecution), and Inner Guides (Archetypes) were basic to their process. Alchemy involves working with these Inner Guides to achieve transformation in our lives -- transforming the base metals of unconscious emotion and conflict into the gold of self-realization. A key part of this process is loving, accepting, or in some way making peace with things the way they are (or were, in the case of a regression to childhood or to a past life), thus freeing the energy of transformation.

Alchemical Hypnotherapy combines the humanistic and spiritual perspective of the Alchemical Process with the practical, results-oriented methods of hypnosis and hypnotherapy.  It allows us achieve meaningful changes easily and takes hypnotherapy beyond "symptom removal".  It has the valuable feature that the suggestions which a person receives in a session come from his or her own inner guidance, and are thus  more personally appropriate, more enduring, and less likely to be met with resistance than in some other forms of hypnotherapy.

Several techniques are integrated within Alchemical Hypnotherapy to help you achieve your specific goals and at the same time gain greater self-awareness.  They include:

Etheric Plane Communication, which allows us to complete our communications with others without the need for face-to-face confrontation, ego battles, or fear of consequences.

Running and Changing Events ("Rescripting"), where perceived negative experiences are actually transformed into positive resources to give us the confidence to achieve our goals.

Rescuing and Healing the Inner Child.  Providing emotional security for the "little child" in each of us helps us to regain our enthusiasm, energy, optimism, and cheerfulness.

Finding the Inner Mate  and thereby connecting to our "inner woman" (anima) or "inner man" (animus) so that we can achieve greater sensitivity and power and find increased fulfillment in our relationships.

Contacting Inner Guides and Past Lives  and providing direct communication with the "collective unconscious" and higher sources of wisdom, for assistance in removing obstacles in our lives and achieving understanding, guidance, and enhanced creativity.  (Though an integral part of this work, Past-Life Regression  is very important in its own right and is covered separately).

Conference Room Therapy ("Parts" Therapy), which assists in resolving conflicts between our different subpersonalities (e.g. Judge, Inner Child, Rebel, Professional, Guru), promoting integration and a strengthening of the will.  Common issues include addictive behaviors, relationship and commitment issues, and specific lifestyle and career choices.

Alchemical Hypnotherapy is thus an interactive process that can help you achieve your specific goals, develop greater self-awareness, and enjoy living more fully.  It is based on the application of Jungian, Gestalt, and Psychosynthesis techniques to support the emergence of our true self and inner wholeness.

The benefits of Alchemical Hypnotherapy can include

        Discovering your life purpose
