Hypnosis Session for Goal Attainment

Our venue is a few minutes' walk from the JFK/UMass stop in Dorchester on the Red Line.

Happy New Year!

This meeting (rescheduled because our presenter was expressing cold-like symptoms two days before the meeting scheduled in early January) features a SPECIAL HYPNOSIS SESSION on goal attainment (which could be, for many of us, organization & decluttering), utilizing the special skills of our meeting host, Kevin Merry.* We will meet in Kevin's home for about an hour and a half, until 2 pm, during which time people will be asked to remove their shoes in the event of inclement weather to protect the floors (so bring house slippers if you wish).

Kevin encourages each of us to bring something to work on related to our particular goal, which can serve as an "anchor" for us to experience -and then recall and re-experience on our own, later- the physical sensations, cognitive experience, and emotional satisfaction of productively working toward our goal following the group hypnosis (e.g., bring "portable stuff" if your goal relates to decluttering...perhaps a pile of papers that has defied your best intentions to sort, for weeks...small enough to fit on your lap and the floor in front of your seat, please. If you do bring stuff to declutter, PLEASE ALSO BRING TWO BAGS of suitable size and weight to sort your stuff into a "KEEP" and a "DISCARD" bag to take back home with you after our meeting. Nothing is to be left at the host's home, please.

With the help of our host's hypnosis skills, let's focus on achieving our respective goals, share our dreams--and put our hearts, minds, and energies into realizing them in this new year.

Refreshments will be provided (or bring a snack if anyone in your party has special dietary considerations). The $10 required contribution helps pay for event coordination and the organizer's monthly Meetup.com maintenance fees.

*Kevin Merry, a practicing hypnotherapist, will introduce us to a potentially powerful way to "reprogram" our lives to relatively quickly and effectively conquer cluttered thinking for more successful, satisfying living, generally characterized by greater relaxation and better well-being. Kevin has been practicing hypnotherapy for 15 years, having studied with renowned teacher and author Julie Griffin from The Hypnotherapy Training Company. His main focus is smoking cessation (having been a former smoker himself) and weight loss, and he has integrated relaxation hypnosis into his massage and reiki practice as well. He recently completed a course in mental coaching for golfers--and its basic principles can be applied to a broader audience. Kevin is a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists in Merrimack, New Hampshire.

YOUR IDEAS for meeting topics, formats, and venues are requested. If you know others who could benefit from our group focus, please bring them along to scheduled meetings.

Feel free to use the "Suggest a New Meetup" tab here on our group's website to offer your ideas for others' consideration. (Fyi: three registrants are required for any suggested meeting to be scheduled on our group's official calendar, so invite interested friends and others to sign up for meetings that you suggest!)

Since some group members have noted that they declutter most actively right before expected visits, do consider hosting one of our future Meetups in your home (or work place) as an impetus to clean and clear your space. Let me know if you could host a meetup event and we will arrange a suitable date-and topic of special interest to you...perhaps even a subject matter expert of your choice!

Thanks!
