They all do message therapy, using essential oils.  As part of their business, Tom and Karen have a hypnotherapy service, with Tom doing the 7 Path Hypnosis system.  I knew all that. But what I didn’t know was that Serenity also specialize in pain management using clinically substantiated micro-current technology, using the Electro-Acuscope.

Using that machine and other technologies, they are even able to also do Fibromyalgia Mapping.

Using all the techniques, technologies and custom methodologies, they can help people with many things such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Bottom line, Tom is helping me with weight loss using hypnosis. By use of his Acuscope my wife’s blood glucose readings are coming down drastically, help her to keep her diabetes under control.

If you have any issues with pain, or just need a good massage give the people at Serenity Hypnosis and Massage in Stillwater, MN a call. You’ll be glad you did.

Just ONE example of why English is SO difficult to learn . . . . .

look UP the word UP in the dictionary.. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page & can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is
clouding UP. When the sun comes out
we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, the soil soaks UP the
water. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on & on, but I’ll wrap it UP, for now  ……..my time is UP !

Did that one crack you UP?

Just think about anything you’ve ever tried in your life. The only time “it” works is when you make up your mind to do it.

A new job? – You’re good at it because you’ve made up your mind to succeed.

Dating? – The same thing.

Think of all the excuses you’ve ever made about losing weight. Did you ever lose the weight after making and sticking to the excuse? NEVER.

I weighed 259 a few years ago. Now I weigh 212. Am I where I want to be? No, because I’ve started to go through the excuses again.

I can lose twice as much next week – right!

If I eat this hamburger, I can have some celery and make up for it – right!

The only way I lost the weight originally, was to get my mind is a state where I wouldn’t accept any excuses from myself and just do it!  As I get ready to eat that hamburger I have a piece of grilled chicken instead.

And folks, it’s a lot easier if you stay at home and eat most of your meals at home. You’ll save a lot of money to boot!

So, get in the right state of mind and lose some weight!!

By Tim Wright

When my son was only about three years old, he and his sisters were playing a game that involved chasing each other though the house with loud giggles of laugher erupting every few minutes whenever one of them came close to tagging one of their siblings.

The giggles were interrupted suddenly by a loud crash followed by a blood-curdling cry of pain. I jumped to my feet and ran to the living room where the apparent mishap had occurred. My son had come around the corner too fast and had fallen head first into the corner of a table. I quickly picked him up from the floor where he was lying and held him in my arms both to comfort him and to examine the wound. Streams of blood gushed from his forehead.

By the time we reached the emergency room, his tears had subsided a bit, but I was nervously anticipating the slight trauma still ahead of us. After examining my son’s forehead, the doctor confirmed that he would need to stitch the wound in order for it to heal properly. The good news was that the cut would require only one stitch. The bad news was that the doctor planned to do it without any anesthesia. "We can stick him once or we can stick him twice," the doctor informed me.

I was then told that giving him a shot to anesthetize the area would be just as painful and traumatic as giving him the single stitch. The shot would then have to be followed by a second "stick" to actually stitch up the wound. I reluctantly agreed with the doctor and opted for the single "stick".

I encouraged my son that he was being a "brave little boy" as the doctors and I gently strapped a restraining device around his tiny body to keep him from thrashing around on the table during the procedure.

Inside, I was fighting back tears as he looked at me with frightened, but trusting eyes. "Keep looking at Daddy," I encouraged him. "You’re being a very brave little boy." His huge eyes remained locked on mine as the doctor gently washed out the cut and prepared to stitch the wound shut.

"Okay, here we go," the doctor said quietly. "It should be quick." "Keep looking at me," I said, trying to smile and draw his trusting eyes into mine. "Daddy’s right here." With precision and swiftness, the doctor quickly stabbed the curved needle into the swollen flesh near the cut on my son’s forehead. My son’s eye’s widened as he gasped in pain. Then in a whimpering voice that carried the sweetness and innocence that only a three year-old can summon, he looked up at me and said, "Please don’t do that again, Daddy."

My heart broke. How do you explain to your three year-old son that the pain he is experiencing-the pain that, in his mind at least, was caused by me-was inflicted with love, with a desire and design to bring healing? Oddly enough, that is one of my most precious memories of my son’s early childhood. The procedure was over almost as quickly as it had begun and, after a few hours, my son had returned to giggling with his sisters. (Running in the house, however, was forever banned from that point onward.)

His trust and sweet response to the ordeal continues to pierce my heart with love for him. This episode is also a reminder for me of our heavenly Father’s love and care for us and for those around us who may be experiencing a painful season in life.

In my mind’s eye, I can envision God holding us as our Father whenever we’re hurting and telling us to keep our eyes on Him and to trust Him, even if we don’t understand why things are happening to us. When we’re tempted to blame Him for our pain or to cry out, "Please don’t do that again, Daddy," we can take comfort in knowing that He is very near to us, that He loves us and to trust that, even though we may not always understand, there is a higher purpose at work in everything that happens to us.

So keep your eyes on Him. Trust Him. He’s holding you and healing you. He will never let you go. Know, too, that giggling-or however you experience joy-will soon be a part of your life again.

1. While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number ’6′ in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so! And there’s nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is,
but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you’ve not already done so.
Have Fun!
