A special welcome to Northern New England Community Action folks who were in the audience for my lunchtime keynote. Thanks for stopping by – and for all you do to make our communities stronger, more vibrant and more peaceable.
I told a number of stories in the keynote and promised I’d post links to those that are available here. If you enjoy them, I hope you’ll consider subscribing to receive new articles automatically (it’s free).
And, of course, if I can ever be of assistance to your CAP or clients, I’d welcome your call.

I use this one all the time with my hypnotherapy clients. Again, I check with them first that the imagery doesn’t have frightening associations for them:
You are drifting quietly and calmly under the sea, kept safe in a bubble of protection. Everything inside that bubble is yours, and anything that’s there that you don’t need or want, you can push out through the bubble and the ocean will carry it away.
It may leave a gap within you, and if so, you can receive a gift from the ocean in return, something positive that you can replace it with and take into yourself.
There’s more to the imagery than that, but those are the essential parts.
