It is estimated that we use only 10% of our potential in our daily lives. Our great reserve of physical and creative energy stands idle, because of built-in tired signals, which, when we listen to them, become more and more premature.

Example. A newspaper recounts the story of a 98 lb. woman having an auto accident on a deserted back country road. Seeing her husband pinned under the car, unknowingly lifts the automobile to allow her hisband to get free.

A professional stage hypnotist can jump up and down on the unsupported body of a subject who is stretched out betwee two chairs, the feet on one chair back and the head on the other. The hypnotized person feels only a slight pressure. He exerts no conscious effort, yet he performs a feat of strength that would not be possible in his ordinary state. Hypnosis offers us a method of tapping into this great energy reserve. This is the secret of success.

The minimum amount of benefits you can derive from self hypnosis are the ability to relax the entire body at will, with an added freedom from stress, resulting in increased energy and better health. The maximum benefits are unlimited financial rewards and personal success, vibrant health and complete peace of mind. These benefits are yours in proportion to the amount of time and interest you invest in reaching your goals throught the use of auto-suggestion and self hypnosis.
