Dear Nicolette,
I was offered the job & was relaxed & calm throughout & enjoyed the entire process.
I'm noticing subtle changes in my life & am positive it is a consequence of
self-hypnosis & know, as a result, my life will be better & better.
Best wishes Sharon

 “Dear Nicolette, I would like to say a big thank you for a wonderful, peaceful and enjoyable weekend I spent with you.  So far this has been the best birthday present I have ever received.  The marvellous feeling after the course is still with me.  The following week I felt very excited and enthusiastic and enjoyed much better sleep than I have experienced for a long time.

I find the RELAX programme very helpful at work – though people are looking at me a bit suspiciously as I practice it in the loo!”
love Angela

Hi Nicolette,
Thought I'd let you know about this week's success. On Monday I attended a professional meeting.
Previous meetings had always been very confrontational & inevitably, unpleasant. However, in preparation for this week's meeting I had installed a programme & seemed to sail through it. My manager 'phoned me last night to congratulate me on how well I had handled the meeting & said I was "brilliant" throughout & handled all questions brilliantly (my interpretation is calm, relaxed, confident, effective & efficient!!!) This was a real hurdle for me & am eagerly writing as many programmes as possible for installation. 

I've also used the instant hypnosis & found it wonderful.
Thanks for the photographs -my husband now calls me RSJ!!!
Regards Sharon.

Hi Nicolette, forgive the delay I am still learning how to send emails! Below is a progress report of how my first week went. I am planning to write 2 programs, 1 to improve my flexibility and the other to motivate me to get the house finished. As soon as I have done them I will send them to you for fine tuning! See you soon love Charlotte x

 Monday - Having hypnotised myself the previous night to be calm and confident at work, and on the course I was going on after work, this is how my day went:
- set the alarm at a later time than usual and successfully used the relax programme instead of snoozing 4/5 times
- felt refreshed and alert when I arrived at work. I would usually feel groggy
- responded professionally, assertively and appropriately to a patient who was quite aggressively complaining that we weren’t looking after one of the other patients properly. My stomach would usually have knotted up in apprehension of a confrontational response, it didn’t.
- went through the shift without doubting myself about anything
- went to course but realised I'd gone to the wrong university luckily someone there showed me how to get to where I needed to go. Only had a few minutes to park the car and walk to building but remained totally calm. Once there realised there are about 10 different campuses and I was at the wrong one! Calmly went into reception to ask for directions only to find that it was shut. Unable to ask anyone where I was supposed to go, I decided to go back to work to explain to my boss why I hadn’t been able to go on the course. on the way back to the car I reached into my bag for my car keys and loads of stuff fell onto the floor with bits of paper being blown away and me chasing after them  instead of getting angry I actually found it funny! On the way back to work I got lost and then when I eventually found it I went to see my boss.  At this point I would usually have felt considerably stressed out, I would have sweated a fair amount making me feel yucky and uncomfortable and I would have been feeling quite anxious at the prospect of explaining all this to my boss - knotted stomach, clammy hands, breathless etc. I had none of these physical feelings and felt totally calm! Wow!

  lost with the new road works in town but remained calm. Had been worrying a bit about going to see my friend but it all went fine.
Had planned to write suggestions for certain aspects of my life but have found that in some cases I don’t need to because they're generally linked to confidence anyway so these problems seem to be sorting themselves out as a result of being confident.

 Wednesday - Hypnotised myself to be calm, confident, competent and patient.
Went to hairdressers usually find this can be a bit intimidating for me. Was also a few minutes late but I didn’t stress whatsoever.
At work in a meeting felt completely relaxed. My colleagues were mainly discussing low morale and lots of politics crap that would usually annoy me and wind me up and it all just drifted over me. And I was able to focus on getting on with my job looking after the patients and ignoring all the negative feelings around me.

Thursday Friday - Continuing to be calm etc. and dealing with anything that’s thrown at me. Nothing seems to be fazing me!

Saturday - Was the only assistant teacher at ballet so had to take a lot more classes than I would usually take. I noticed that my teaching had improved, I was able to communicate both to the children and to my teacher more effectively, I didn’t struggle to find the words I needed, and I just took the whole day in my stride. I found that I really enjoyed doing it and felt very proud of myself for doing so well. I hadn’t even used my teaching suggestion so I am now looking forward to installing that programme and getting on with working on my qualification.

I have noticed a massive difference in myself, I am becoming the way I want to be and as a consequence feel a lot happier about my life and everything around me. 

Joe: Self-hypnosis Progress Report

Monday - Played Nicolette’s CD in the morning before leaving the house.
In the afternoon I went to an opening of a building for which I was part of the professional team. Although I do not consider myself to lack confidence, I know that when I meet people for the first time I find my conversation to be a little strained and that I’m rather self-conscious and lack continuity of conversation as a result. When I left the opening. I realised that I had been engaging complete strangers in conversation at my instigation and had been very comfortable with it. I had seen people standing on their own looking self-conscious and walked over to them and instigated conversations with none of the usual minor anxiety which I would normally feel.

During the afternoon I developed mild but noticeable pain in the area of my bottom two or three ribs on my rhs. It occurred to me that this might be the result of a certain ‘iron bar’ exercise, however during the evening the discomfort increased and whilst I was sitting reading “Illusions” at home it had got to the stage where I was finding it difficult to ignore it. I decided to finish the chapter and deal with it using self-hypnosis. Having made this decision I read on. The very next paragraph read ‘Surround it in a golden light, if you want. That’s a healing thing, to help make it real, but it works in magnetizing too’. I finished the chapter and decided to hypnotise myself and imagine a golden light healing the affected area. I also decided that I would not zap away the pain as I didn’t want to mask a more serious problem (were there one). I felt confident that the healing light would sort out the problem by morning.   And so it did.

Tuesday  - Went book shopping

Wednesday - Played Nicolette’s CD in the morning before leaving the house. Followed this by 10 minute ‘Relax’.

Thursday  - ‘Relaxed’ in morning before getting up.  Wrote mind map to help develop a programme entitled ‘perfect fingernails’ (I bite them). Followed mind map with programme.  I installed the perfect fingernails programme using the pre-suggestion technique.

Began reading ‘You can heal your life’.   I’ve noticed that when reading now, I tend to assimilate the information first read. Often in the past (last week and beyond) I found when reading that my mind would wander and I would often find myself reading the words without taking anything in. This may be because I am especially interested in the subject matter.

Friday  - Found myself with finger in my mouth! Decided to add sentence to my ‘Perfect Fingernails’ programme. Have found since then that I have removed fingers and thumbs immediately from mouth. Result!

Had very difficult negotiation with removal firm who were trying to charge more than their quoted price for the move. They were threatening to keep all the furniture unless we paid the extra money. I remained calm and confident, not losing it with their unreasonable behaviour, as may have happened in the past and after about an hour convinced the firm to do the right thing for the quoted price. Another result!

Hi Nicolette,

Success - Last week I attended an all day interview which involved the formal interview in the morning, lunch with twenty people connected with the post and  a presentation to these twenty people (GPs, hospital consultants, nurse managers and senior nurses) in the afternoon. I had a week's notice to prepare & despite feeling daunted I knew I'd sail through the day once I'd installed a programme. I have been offered the post and truly believe that with the power of self-hypnosis you can achieve anything you set your mind to. I had thought of contacting you for a zap but decided I had the power/ability to manage the situation myself and so I did. It also has a domino affect on all aspects of your life & I'm finding that I'm packing more & more in to my day & doing things that I wouldn't have undertaken previously. I am a TRUE convert.
Best wishes Sharon

I've been teaching people to relax for the last 20 years, but I've never been able to achieve it so quickly or deeply before!
verbal quote by Jacqui (Occupational Therapist)

Nicolette

I just wanted to say that  I've had a great week so far this week - I've been really calm and focussed at work, totally unstressed despite being thrown into lots of different situations.  I've been doing my relax
everyday - I quite often do it when I'm tired (if that makes sense) as it rejuvenates me, for example, I did 5 minutes on the bus on the way to work this morning and felt much better.  At first I didn't think that my body clock was paying any attention to the times I was telling it I wanted to relax for, but I've been checking and it does work!

I've had a busy week and I haven't had much time to look at the folder and haven't listened to your CD yet.  But I have had time to do a little zap every day - just little suggestions to be more effective and efficient and calm and relaxed - it doesn't seem to be difficult to find a little time for that!

I've told a lot of people about the course and I know several people who are interested and may come along to the next Friday night session at least.  Thanks for everything and I will keep in touch!

Dear Nicolette,

I have had the most amazing few days, if this carries on…well who knows!!  I am keeping a diary (never done that before!), and one of my sisters (a deputy head of a secondary school in North London) has already said I haven’t sounded so well for a long time.  She is interested in attending, so I have sent her the details. 

Thank you for everything, I thought the course was excellent and am impressed at how something so intensive, felt so very comfortable. 

Regards, Toni

I am e-mailing to inform you that the zapping is going amazingly and I'd like to tell you about my funny day.
I was doing PE and was completely Knackered & so decided to zap something like 'I am awake - full of energy '. This worked a treat & I did excellently in football. Foolishly, I had forgotten to programme how long I wanted it to last!
Unaware of this, I went to Maths & found myself working non-stop (not normal) doing multiplication, division, addition & subtraction so that by the end of class I had done triple my quota & was helping others who were struggling along.   By now I had realised my mistake but had to wait. I marched home, hurdled myself onto my bed & turned off the programme.   Immediately, I was completely exhausted & had to go to bed early.
This was just one more bit of proof that I CAN use self-hypnosis.
I hope you enjoyed this story.

Dear Nicolette

Just thought I would drop you an e-mail to let you know how I am progressing with my hypnosis. Its amazing, I am on my placement in theatre, and I have just completed my first week. I am really relaxed and in control. I have not fainted at the sight of blood, in fact, I am quite the opposite. I am totally fascinated and enjoy watching the 'horror movies', sorry, I mean operations. There is plenty of blood and guts and I have observed a full hip and knee replacement plus many other gory ops. Thursday was quite a bad day for me as I felt quite low, quite withdrawn and in general not very sure of my capabilities. The following morning I wrote out a script and zapped away all my insecurities. It worked, I could not believe it, I was a totally different person, happy, confident and assertive. It is a wonderful feeling and I look forward to each new day. Thank you

From a happy zapper Amanda x
(Amanda is a student nurse, who had a fear of blood)

I'd love to come along to another Friday night, or indeed a whole weekend
again if that's possible as I really was bowled over by the whole
experience.  

Kind regards

Louise

Dear Nicolette, 

As you know last weekend I attended the M-Power-Me Self-Hypnosis Course at Coventry and I am absolutely convinced that I have had a life changing experience.

Before I describe my experience and why I have made, what is for me, a very expansive statement I should give brief details of my background and recent mindset, so as to explain my starting point.

My background is Training and Training Management having had what most people would describe as a very successful career with BT. I was responsible for the design and launch of a major change project for BT’s largest engineering division. I make this comment only in the spirit of “the bigger they are the harder they fall” since my life in most aspects has (oops had) gone progressively downhill. Without baring my soul too much and producing a text “to slash your wrist by”, my state of mind prior to this weekend, was characterised by such words and phrases as utter lethargy, de-motivation, overwhelmed, lacking in concentration, and pessimistic. I don’t need to go into why this situation has arisen since I’m sure it’s multi-causal, but suffice it to say, that I have never in my life been given to pessimism and self-pity. In fact I believe wholeheartedly that the only way to move onward and upward is via unequivocal optimism.

Before continuing to describe the weekend’s experience, I should also say that I am not normally given to flattery since it is easy to degenerate into sycophancy. However, it is really important for me to describe the depth of the feeling that I have for what occurred or rather its effect on me.

The course has provided a well-structured tool for me to work towards re-establishing my energy, enthusiasm and motivation. Through the superb delivery of a well-designed programme, Nicolette was extremely supportive in all phases of the event. There was real power and logic in the provided rationale for communicating with the sub-conscious. The M-Power-Me Self-Hypnosis Model provides a comprehensive but comfortable process to follow, which having had some prior experience of Hypnosis I know to be well founded. However, for me the ability to produce a programme for my self, and my challenges, is what gives the course exceptional strength and intensity. The Sunday demonstrations with volunteers, which I will not describe so as not to let the cat out of the bag for potential candidates, was a fantastic confirmation of the skills acquired. The result of these demonstrations is difficult for an ex Royal Marine to explain but there was one occasion when moisture appeared in my eyes (O.K. tears) as a result of an unshakable realisation that I had been empowered to make real changes in my life and that the desperation I had been experiencing, was now a thing of the past. I tried to hide the incident by implying I had something in my eye, but I know in my heart that what I had experienced was a real and an unforgettable experience.

I realise that having been provided with the tools it is up to me to deploy them and I have started my programme with a daily Self-Hypnosis session incorporating my own “Megalithic Productivity” programme. I now feel a sense of real resilience and optimism. I also understand that to realise the benefits and repair the “damage” I need to maintain the momentum so this is the first of a series of progress reports, (not as long promise) - watch this space.

Finally a word of thanks to you Nicolette. I’ll confine this to a few sentences so as not to embarrass you too much.

Throughout life we all encounter, from time to time, individuals who encourage, motivate, empower and inspire us to make colossal changes in our beliefs values and attitudes. As a result of these encounters we are gifted with an insight into a rich and fulfilling life. I have taken to thinking of the these “teachers” as “my most unforgettable characters” you are out on your own on the top of my list especially since I have had the privilege of meeting you in person.

I now understand the adage “when you are ready the master appears”.

Thank you,
Regards

Barry

 

Hello Dr Lawson, I hope you're well.

Thanks again for the great course.
I have been using self hypnosis a lot, my first programmes roughly being "I would continue to use it for the rest of my life " + " I Believed it worked and worked powerfully" (this helped a lot as the reality of the course was "mind blowing" to me and, left me with annoying doubts I knew were silly but still had!!! not anymore. ) 
 My programme for self confidence has made a huge difference, my thinking is no longer "what can I do" it's "what do I want to do".  Dark ,negative ,unfriendly, people seem less so, when moving around them I forget they're even there (I shall be doing a programme for awareness!!!). Before it required effort and energy to deal with or ignore them, now... zero.
The other big one was for forgiveness " I forgive my self +others for all mistakes, wrong doing etc" - people and events I " detested" are now "just the way they are"
I feel a lot more in control of me and I am enjoying the process of changing myself for the better.
I am  reading and researching many things in order to write programmes, like the beliefs of very successful people, it's ongoing and fun.
Thank you again
All the Best 
Paul

It is always wonderful for me to hear of your successes, so please keep those letters, phone calls and e-mails coming in!
