MARK SWEET ON HYPNOTISM

I became interested in hypnotism when I was seventeen. I was performing with another magician who would do hypnosis backstage after his shows. I watched him and knew I could do it. My first subject was my younger sister, Lisa. She asked if I could hypnotize her and I did and she went right out.

Since then I have deepened my interest and knowledge in hypnotism; I'm a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I'm dedicated and committed to the practice, and am continually fascinated as well as surprised by the power of our subconscious mind. It is the most powerful, healing, motivating, self-help tool that we all possess--its strength has been tested and proven time and time again, we just have to learn how to harness it!

I have personally experienced the healing powers of hypnosis at home. When my son was in second grade, he had small warts all over his hands. My wife took him to a dermatologist to have them removed. After the first treatment, I asked my son how it went. He exclaimed, "Ouch!!" and bent down like it knocked him to the ground. After several treatments, the pain became too much and we stopped them entirely.

A few years later, I studied a hypnosis program which allowed me to directly target the warts. I put him under hypnosis and told him that his body did not need the warts anymore, and that the same healing forces which heal a cut or a wound would make his warts shrink and then disappear forever. After four days my wife said, "I think his warts are going away." Eight days later I came home and my son said, "Dad, my warts are gone!" He is now in his twenties and the warts are still gone.

I have helped many others rid themselves of physical ailments and bad habits by changing their mindset under hypnosis, and it works every time. The only "secret" is that you must be willing, motivated, and open to change. The mind is our most powerful tool--it proves over and over again that what we expect tends to be realized!
