Jacqueline Siples recently opened Achieve Awareness Hypnosis, a new business in downtown Safety Harbor. Siples is a Certified Master Hypnotist, Certified NLP Practitioner as well as Certified Handwriting Analyst with more than 20 years experience in helping others.
“The primary business is teaching people to remove obstacles in their lives that prevent them from achieving their goals,” Siples said. “Those goals are different for different people but hypnosis works for everyone.”
Hypnosis is a natural state of heightened awareness where the conscious mind takes a break and the subconscious mind takes over, she explained. “Have you ever been driving down the highway in your car and realized you missed your exit, and wondered how that happened?” That is a form of hypnosis, she said.
“Some people think you can’t hear in hypnosis or that you are unconscious. In reality you hear everything, you are just in a heightened state of awareness where all your senses are at their sharpest. Some people think hypnosis is mind control. You will never do anything against your values. You would not tell any secrets, or do anything you would not normally do. Unlike stage hypnosis you not cluck like a chicken or quack like a duck unless of course, you really want to. Stage hypnosis is for entertainment,” Siples said.
Hypnosis has many applications. It reduces stress, helps people quit smoking, control their weight, become more motivated to exercise. It has been known to lower blood pressure which can be accomplished while working hand in hand with your medical doctor. A medical referral is necessary for some services such as lowering blood pressure, hypertension or pain management.
Call Siples at 727-796-1932. Achieve Awareness Hypnosis is located at 108 4th St. S., Safety Harbor.
