Benefits of 7th Path® Self Hypnosis® with 5-PATH® Clients
by Marcella Hilferty, MBA, CH, CPHI
Once upon a time there was a woman that was searching for a way to improve herself but didn’t have the time to set regular appointments. She was approached by a faraway friend that told her about 7th Path Self Hypnosis®, created by Cal Banyan.
The woman began an internet search and found Banyan Hypnosis Center and a packet that offered training for 7th Path Self Hypnosis® (7th Path). She bought the packet and the rest of the story was a life transforming miracle.
Believing in the system, the woman did further research and found the 10-day intensive course to become a certified 5-PATH® and 7th Path Self-Hypnosis hypnotist. Taking the course, she discovered even more miracles. This was a woman that dealt with fibromyalgia pains, migraines and many more issues associated with body limitations. Before the end of the 10-day course, the woman realized that the majority of her pains had lifted and the limitations once before presented to her were lifted and she was once again able to enjoy life as she once did before the limitations set in. You may be asking yourself, is this a true story? The answer is, yes, and the woman is me.
The title of this article is “Benefits of 7th Path with 5-PATH® clients.” The purpose of the introduction is to explain why I felt 7th Path would benefit all my 5-PATH® clients and not just specific clients. After I discovered the numerous releases and miracles in my life, I felt that this too would benefit my clients in ways they may not even realize and take their 5-PATH® experience to a whole other level.
For those that took the 7th Path process seriously and practiced as suggested, they found that 7th Path did assist them in-between sessions, as well as additional benefits identified related to many other life occurrences.
We live in a busy world and life is constantly changing around us. As different life situations present themselves, this may be a trigger for the client’s current struggle or it may trigger new issues in a person’s life. With the 7th Path practice, triggers become less and less powerful. Issues such as anger, fears, etc. became less of a distractor, as the person is able to work through the different situations life presented them in a more peaceful and calm manner.
Clients that have practiced faithfully between sessions reported that even using the 7th Path recognitions as an affirmation helped them during times of need. One client was dealing with extreme panic attacks. After her first 5-PATH® session, she felt good but a life situation presented itself before our 2nd session and she felt the panic feeling rising in her body. She remembered that she could use the recognitions as an affirmation and began doing so. The panic sensation decreased and then finally resided. She was so excited to have had this experience that she couldn’t wait to tell me when she arrived for her 2nd session.
This type of example has been verified by many of my clients and they too are experiencing miracles in their lives.
Benefits of using 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® in your 5-PATH® practice:
- Increased confidence for your clients: Clients see that hypnosis works and that they have a tool to use whenever needed and reaping the benefits of a more stable and productive life.
- Smoother 5-PATH® sessions: The clients are helping themselves with better sessions because they are releasing a lot of what brought them to see you in the first place. They experience less blockages and more openness to get to the root of the problem.
- A HAPPY Client: They feel in control of their life and not life in control of them.
I tell all my clients that we live in a busy world. The world presents things to us at times that are new and we aren’t quite sure how to deal with them. It’s like getting a bad hand in cards and you are down to your last chips to remain in the game. If you drop out of the game at this point, you lose everything. You decide, do I take the loss or do I take the chance that things will get better. When a client or student decides to practice 7th Path, she is taking a chance, that with practice, things will get better.
Saying the recognition reminds your conscious, sub-conscious and even your un-conscious mind that you have some level of control and that some life situations are out of your hands and you can peacefully step away. While other situations that you can control, can be controlled more effectively by having a clearer mind and being confident that the three levels of the mind can process the new situation(s) that are being presented.
As hypnosis practitioners, consider offering 7th Path with all your clients, if you aren’t already doing so. Happier and more productive clients may spread like wildfire and hopefully spread across the world to bring more peace and less anger.
