5-Path: An Advanced Transformative Hypnosis Technique
by Kamini Khan T
he 5-Path method of hypnosis is a unique form of hypnotherapy created by world-
renowned hypnotherapist Cal Banyan. It has become a highly praised and effective approach to conducting hypnotherapy and is practiced by a growing number of specially trained hypnotherapists worldwide. So, what makes it unique? First and foremost, it is progression based; each step
has a criterion that has to be met before going to the next one. It is a multi-session method that works at getting to the core of the issue the client wants resolved. While a usual treatment plan is five to six sessions, sometimes patients are able to resolve issues, such as smoking, in just one or two sessions. 5-Path hypnotherapists have been trained to find the actual cause of the problem and eliminate it, and then give the clients suggestions for success. In the first step, clients receive a comprehensive “pre-talk,” in which they will learn about hypnosis. This time also allows for the client to interact with the hypnotherapist so that he/she can find out what the client’s goals are and how best to help the client reach those goals. The 5-Path hypnotherapist uses a modern hyp- notic induction, which is fast and efficient. Once in a hypotonic state, the hypno- therapist works with the client as he/she goes through the process of neutralizing any old limiting beliefs, emotions or habits that have caused him/her to not meet his/her goals. A 5-Path hypnotherapist is able to identify issues that could be causing
problems that the client may not have thought of, such as internal conflicts. For example, most people that want to make positive changes in their lives are also a bit conflicted by making the changes, like the smoker that wants to stop but is fear- ful that he or she will miss the cigarette habit or gain weight. Another example is the person that has been abusing alcohol or drugs that fears that if he/she abstains, he/she will be lonely or anxious without the alcohol or drugs. The 5-Path method uncovers these subconscious blocks to success and neutralizes them. 5-Path hypnotherapists work with clients that struggle with weight loss, sugar addiction, stress management, anxiety, smoking cessation and more.

Guided Spring Detox A
s spring gives way to a warmer cli- mate there is less need for heavier foods, and lighter foods are more har- monious to good health. Studies show that our bodies run more efficiently and effortlessly when there is no stagnation and when we can properly metabo- lize and utilize our food for energy. Practitio- ners of Traditional Chinese Medicine consider the liver and gallbladder to be the primary organs to focus on this season. Detoxification is a good idea as a method to keep or maintain ongoing health and for weight loss. Other applications are for the pre- vention of such diseases as arthritis, diabetes Type 2, colitis, irritable bowl syndrome, among others. Detoxes can be done seasonally or when you feel in need of one.

Some detox practices include utilizing ingestible essential oils. Some ideas to stimulate optimal function of the gallbladder this time of year is to utilize ingestible-grade lime oil. Another important aspect of a detox
of the body is to detox the mind and spirit at the same time. There is a cathar- tic shift in one’s persona when the body has purified. Whether preventing disease or the desire to lower outgoing medical costs, this is an experience to have.
