Mind Miracles Hypnotherapy

For everyone who is interested and hasnt already heard - I have moved back to Quesnel. This was my home for many happy years. After my dear husband Leo died i...n 2013, I couldnt handle being where we had been so happy together. I moved to Westbank, and began an new and completely absorbing passion, the study of hypnotherapy. Thank you to every one of the clients who encouraged me, warmed my heart and taught me so very much about human nature and the challenges we all face. I miss you and wish you all the very best. I am finding that phone hypnosis is very much more effective than I ever guessed, and that this small town is far more open to modern hypnotherapy than I expected. Thank you to everyone who continues to open my eyes to the boundless wonders of the human soul. I continue to work with the always evolving science and art of hypnotherapy here in Quesnel and welcome clients and skeptics alike at 250 983 6041 See more

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in MMH, and all those who have been my treasured clients. A big change is underway, and as part of it I have moved to Quesnel where I will continue to enjoy my career in hypnotherapy. Ongoing training has given me so many new skills and techniques that greatly reduce the time needed for therapy. I am so grateful to my trainers in Ontario for making this possible. Wishing everyone the very best as they walk their journey through this life, and reminding us all that we can choose to experience the joy that every one of us deserves. Sending much love, Glenys

We don't have to be the stories we repeat in our heads. Truly, we don't. We are what we think about, and we do have the power to change our thoughts. Is it easy? Not always. Does it work? Yes it does! Can we do it? We sure can! Absolutely! Write your own story, who you are, where you are going, what matters to YOU. Then think it, think it think it. Interrupt the negative stuff and consciously think the story you want to be true. Move toward it, celebrating every step. And no...tice that the old stories crumble and become little heaps of dust to blow away in a clean cold wind. You are the source of your future. Make it yours. Wishing you a spiritually rewarding journey to the real you. Glenys. See more

This one lifted my heart today, so I am sharing it hoping perhaps it can lift your heart too. Of course sometimes people will let us down, and it hurts. And few of us ever manage to live our lives without letting someone down. But there are also all the times that someone lifts us up, warms our heart, and reminds us that we belong. A smile, a hug, a few kind words, can set us back on our feet, richer and better than we ever were before. Today can we celebrate the good, nurtur...ing times and just let the rest go? We are all welcome to life, let's enjoy our happy moments. Wishing you more happy moments than you can count. Glenys See more

Here is something that stopped me in my tracks this morning. How have I never realised this before? It is so intuitive, so simple, and so meaningful for me. Perhaps it speaks to you too. It deserves some thought, perhaps it will stay with you the way it seems to be staying with me. One step. That's all it takes to turn ourselves around. Wow.... Wishing you a lovely, meaningful day, Glenys. See more

This is something I ask my clients to do every day - it doesn't have to be huge or expensive, maybe a quiet walk on the beach. Or turning the music up loud and dancing by yourself. Just something that feels good. Because we all deserve it. Every day. Every single day. Really.... Wishing you something that feels good, Glenys. See more

Three things I am so thankful we never stopped. And hugs! never stop giving each other hugs. You can never tell what is around the corner, but for sure the day will come when the memories of that hand, that dance, those words, that hug, will be what carries you through. It is terribly hard to be the one left behind, but I can guarantee that it would be worse if I had to look back and think that I had not cherished him while he was here on earth with me. Let that love show. ...Some day the memories will be what keeps you, or your partner, feeling the love long after the person is with spirit. Wishing you a hand to hold, Glenys. See more

Isnt this the absolutely best feeling? It just warms the heart and soul, whether it is a child, a grandchild, a dear friend, or maybe a significant other catching our thoughts and smiling with us. I am lucky enough to have this happen many times a day. On my desk I have a picture of my dear husband, who is smiling, relaxed and confident, in the Arizona sun. Just like he smiled at me almost every time he saw me for 53 years. Over the last 4 years, since he had to leave this ...life, I have looked at that picture so many times. Sometimes crying, sometimes smiling at him through tears. And sometimes just feeling his love and mine meeting somewhere in the middle. It is still the best feeling in the world, to look over and see him already smiling at me. Keeping me going. Sending me love. Wishing you so very many smiles, Glenys. See more

Such a lovely picture, and a very happy thought. Love is beautiful energy and we all need it. Our lovely, forgiving world needs it. Healing energy has enormous potential, but it needs something else to translate it into the result we are all hoping for. It needs our commitment and our work. Just like all the soaps and solutions in the world don't get the kitchen clean by themselves, love in the abstract isn't healing our world. We are the conduit that will make it happen. An...d we have the wonderful gift of being able to see that we are making a difference. Can we all put some elbow grease into a little corner of the world and see that healing take place? Let's do it! Wishing you smiles Glenys. See more

Can you imagine the difference it would make if we all did this? Who wants to join me in seriously doing this? Every day there are beautiful people doing tiny, beautiful things. Or huge beautiful things. And sometimes we notice, and smile, and say nothing because we are in a hurry, or having a bad day, or think perhaps it's really none of our business. Let's notice, and smile, and tell them how much better they are making a corner of the world. And to start with, thank you for reading this. It could be the start of something beautiful for somebody you know. Wishing you the joy of seeing something beautiful, Glenys Rutledge

Think of all the times in your life when a few kind words made a difference. And the times when you needed them but they didn't happen. Kind words can defuse anger and ease hurt. They can calm fears and open hearts. What they can't do is harm. Let's use more of them, ok? Wishing you kindness, so much kindness it overflows everywhere.... Glenys See more

Words to live by. I truly believe we are here to help others if we can. And certainly never to hurt anyone if we can possibly help it. Not that I have always succeeded, but I sure do try. What do you think? it is always so interesting to hear different viewpoints - what do you believe we are here for? Wishing you peace and plenty. Glenys

This is so true, so fundamental, that I wonder why I think I need to emphasize it. We were not born to hate, or disparage, or look down on or to judge each other. We are here to love, to be kind, to help each other along. We are here to be friends. We are here to appreciate and enjoy each other. All of us. Let's just do it, ok?... Wishing you the kindest and most amazing friends, Glenys See more

Ok, so this one is kind of funny. But it was underscored for me in an odd way today. I thought it would be good to make a list of things I should appreciate more while I have them. Like my (usually) reliable brain cells. And beets - I love beets - and actually had some really nice ones in the fridge. That reminded me to cook them so I could make beet salad for dinner. I started the beets in a big pot of water and went into my office to do accounts. And so much for the brain... cells, I forgot the beets. Several hours later, working away at the computer, I noticed an odd smell. Yes, a pan of burned beets. Burned beets smell awful, and who knows why the smoke alarm didn't go crazy. The whole condo reeks as if I had a garbage bonfire in the living room. So here I am appreciating a few things I generally don't think about much. Febreze - I hardly ever use it because I am pretty sure it's not good stuff to breathe in. But it sure does beat burned beets! Fridges and freezers - because although I have no yummy beets I do have all sorts of other food handy. Barkeepers Friend - that awesome powder that will restore my favourite big pot to almost new with very little effort from me. And garbage bags - how did we ever get along without them? So that's my new list of things to appreciate. And maybe tomorrow I will remember to appreciate those brain cells. Today, not so much. Wishing you a long and lovely list of things to appreciate, Glenys See more

Oh boy is that the truth! It seems not so long ago we were waiting for the babies to be out of diapers, the children to be in school, the money to make it to the end of the month, vacation time to arrive. And in a few blinks, here I am. Old. Already. A widow. Way too soon. Looking at what to do with the rest of my life. And wondering where the good part went. For everyone who is younger, please savour every moment with your loved ones. Be sure they know how much you love them.... You will be so glad you did. Have fun. Memories are worth so much more than money in the bank. For everyone who is older, whatever time we have left is all the time there is. Let's not waste it. Let's find the good parts of every day, and notice them, and appreciate them. Let's be the oldie who loves, encourages and supports everyone. Let's overlook the aches and enjoy the smiles. Let's keep learning and growing and finding out what we are here for. Let's honour the loved ones who are gone by living our lives so they count! We can do this. The world needs us, more than ever before. Wishing you warm hearts and cool heads. And fun. Glenys See more

A great way to help deal with negativity, bad moods, and difficult people. Great for caregivers, light workers, family members, anyone who lives or works with people who can negatively affect them. We don't need to judge them or label them, just understand that they are at a place in their lives that will bring us down too if we let it. So use a shield to protect yourself from emotional harm. Imagine a protective shield around you, allowing you to interact with people, help... them if you can, without risking your own emotional stability. Because it does no good for you to fall down into their issues. You need to stay strong, centered at and peace so that you can reach a hand or throw a rope without getting dragged in. Remember your shield and use it. And get to the end of a hard day without feeling wrung out emotionally. Truly, it helps. Wishing you a peaceful and protected day, Glenys See more

Staying angry and holding onto hurts does us so much damage. And the relief when we finally let it go is so empowering. The memories are still there - but there is no pain or anger associated with them. They are almost like old pictures of people we never met. If thoughts of childhood or adult abuse still cause you pain, still bring tears to your eyes or fear to your heart, you know you have not yet let it go. It is still harming you, not the person who hurt you. Give your...self the gift of freedom. Let yourself out of the cage of hurtful memories. There is no reason to hold onto this stuff, and every reason to let it go and grow past it. I'm not just typing to fill up space - it took me most of a long life to get this. Save yourself a lot of wasted anguish. Let the bad stuff go. Wishing you a peaceful evening Glenys See more

OK, there's nothing deep or particularly meaningful about this one. No gentle encouragement to make emotional progress. Just a thought that perhaps you could use a chuckle too. Find a chance to smile today! Glenys

Please Don't Do This! Stuffing down pain, whether it is physical or emotional, or both, is so harmful! It is dreadful for you, and even harms the people, particularly children, who know you and learn from you. So many long term issues stem from the idea that we should be stoic. That we should be sure we don't bother anyone. That we should keep ourselves and our sorrows to ourselves. NO WE SHOULDN'T! Letting it out is the first step to dealing with it. Stuffing it down and pr...etending we are ok leads to so many emotional and physical ills. Stuffing it down might be easier than letting it out. But all it does is allow the hurt to fester and poison us. Please don't do this. Even if the only way you can let it out is to tell your dog or yell it in the shower, for your own emotional health and that of everyone around you please be brave enough to speak your sorrows and share your heart. Please. Glenys See more

Oh boy. We need, society needs, to get a grip on this one. So often we think we know what motivates behavior that concerns us. We look at what is happening through our own lens, through the experience of our own lives. And we don't even realise we are judging something we know nothing about. Can we just accept that there is a reason and we don't know, perhaps we have no right to know, what that reason may be? Instead of labelling people based on our own imperfect understandi...ng, can we try to accept them as another human being struggling through their journey here? We don't have to love everyone, beautiful though that might be. We don't even have to like everyone. But can we try to stop sticking mental labels on people we just don't understand? Stop applying the snippets of popular psychology we read about? Because that is a judgement too, and we don't like to be judged by people who don't know us or our story. It goes both ways, friends. Wishing you a calm and lovely day, Glenys See more

Especially our brains! Sometimes thinking, overthinking, obsessively thinking, is our worst enemy. Turning off the brain and just letting go can be hard to do but so very well worth learning. Here's my favourite way to do it - be aware of your thoughts, notice them and let them go. Imagine them floating away in their own little balloons. And gradually, notice the spaces between the thoughts. The spaces might be hard to find at first, but persevere, they are the sweet spot. The peaceful place. And the more you just sit and notice the spaces, the calmer your mind gets. The longer the spaces get. And in those spaces is the peace you need. It's kind of like a shortcut to meditation - if you already meditate easily, you won't need it. But if you find it helps you, do let me know. Wishing you a lovely, peaceful day today, Glenys

Beaches and bonfires sound wonderful, don't they? Summer is coming fast, let's try to make more time for just sitting by the fire and letting our minds relax into total appreciation for the love in our lives. Allow ourselves to realize that love isn't just the wonderful, exciting romance of a movie or a song. It's everyday kindness and gentle thoughts. It's people who remember and people who care. Let's show more love. And always remember, a hug says it all. There will never be too many hugs.

It is so important to learn to treat ourselves with respect. Almost all of us have been taught to respect our elders, respect our teachers, our preachers, our parents. And depending on our definition of 'respect' that may be mostly a good thing. But what few of us have learned is to respect ourselves first. To treat ourselves as well as we would treat others. Why not start? Why not quit beating ourselves up for things that happened in the past? We're not perfect? Heck no, but why are we ready to overlook mistakes only when someone else made them? Let's all give ourselves a break. Give ourselves a 'get out of jail free' card. Let the old regrets go. Replace them with respect and appreciation for the wonderful, confusing, trying and sometimes stumbling people that we are.

When we think about the times we have struggled to put on a brave face and act like we are just fine while inside we crumble into tiny pieces, don't we all know this is true? Absolutely every one of us has our battles, and so often we work extra hard to make sure we don't let our pain show. Can we honour the memory of Robin Williams, who battled terrible depression for so many years, by giving everyone we meet some kindness? Everybody needs it, many people need it desperately. And it costs nothing but some time and compassion. Let's all just be kind.

Sometimes it's just a learned focus - we have learned to focus on worries and fears and memories that haunt us. But we can learn to focus on the good stuff - the love, the kindness, the joy, the beauty, and the random humour of just being alive. Why not learn a healthier focus, and start enjoying life again?

Our imaginations create our perceptions. We truly become what we think. So let's start thinking more positive thoughts and watch as our lives begin to reflect that image back to us. Are you willing to try a bit more positivity in your life? Here's a worthwhile habit to consider - when negative thoughts arise, which they will, just recognise them. Notice that they are negative, based in our learned fears. Acknowledge them. And imagine them floating away in little balloons. Let them float right out of sight. And immediately replace them with something positive. Something that will nourish your heart and lift your spirits. We all deserve a happier day!

Spring is so lovely here in Kelowna! As each spring day finds a way to lift our hearts, let's find a way to pass a moment of that joy on to someone who might need it. It could be just a few minutes of our time, maybe even as little as a smile and a greeting to someone we have never met. We may never know if it helped someone's day. But for absolutely sure, we know it can't hurt.
