Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness that allows for improved focus and concentration. It is a natural state where the subconscious mind is very receptive to thoughts and suggestions.

Using hypnosis you can modify your subconscious programming to benefit you by replacing old beliefs, habits, and behaviors that you no longer need or want with the new ones you desire. Everyone naturally enters the state of hypnosis several times every day - while watching a movie or TV, when reading an enthralling book, when overwhelmed by a new romance, or while driving (have you ever driven for a few miles without remembering how you got there?).

THE THEORY OF MIND

When a baby is born it has a more primitive mind, they do not have logic, reason, or the inhibitory process. Included in the primitive mind are the fight/flight mechanisms. As the child grows, it develops the inhibitory processes. Babies are born with only two fears; the fear of falling and the fear of loud noise. Everything else is learned by association and identification.

From the age of zero to about eight years old the child develops a library of these associations and identifications from their parents/caregivers and environment. They learn that some of these are good (positive) and some of these are bad (negative). These positive and negative associations create our conditioning and triggers, and form what is referred to as our “life script." This life script is formed from what we know, or our known associations. The child does not know good from bad or right from wrong, they are only aware of the associations and identifications. Between the ages of eight to approximately twelve years old, logic and reason starts to develop. This enables the making of decisions and the development of will power, and becomes our conscious mind. The conscious mind represents 12% of our total mind power and the subconscious mind makes up the remaining 88%.

Hypnosis allows you to tap into your subconscious mind, which is the strongest part of the mind, about 88% of your total mind power. Bypassing the critical factor of the conscious mind and gaining access to the subconscious mind allows transformations in behavior patterns that you can’t make consciously. Most people find hypnosis to be very calm and relaxing. Although you're more open to suggestion during hypnosis you don't lose control over your behavior, and you remain awake and aware. Hypnosis can help you gain control over behaviors you'd like to change.

You have everything you need to change already inside of you, hypnosis helps you to access and facilitate that change.

I work with different energetic techniques that I’ve learned including Reiki and distance energy movement. Reiki is a holistic Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and spiritual healing.

Energetic techniques work with the energy fields around the body and involve the movement of universal energy from the facilitator to the client. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness. Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure.

Energy work improves the flow of energy around the body and can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and help develop emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Clients say that an energy session is centering and clearing. A session can help to reset energy and balance chakras.

We begin the session by talking about what you would like to work on and what you would like to accomplish. You can choose which modality you would like to experience in your session, or can have a mixture of both.

In a hypnosis session I guide you into the state of relaxed focus - the hypnotic state. I then give you suggestions based on what you have told me. These hypnotic suggestions bypass your conscious mind and go straight into the subconscious where they can start to influence your thoughts and behaviors to align with what you consciously want.

In an energy session I guide you into a relaxed state and then send energy to you where you are. As the universal energy is intelligent it will know where it is most needed and useful for you for each session. People usually report a feeling of peace and warmth when receiving energy.

In mixed sessions you will be given hypnotic suggestions as well as universal energy and receive the benefits of both.

We can work together for either a single session or a month long package of 4 sessions, with each session building on the last and giving you tools and techniques to be able to make real life changes on your own as you move forward on your journey.

I also offer a monthly membership to The Mind Spa - a massage for your brain. The membership is for one session per month for a hypnotic guided journey into deep relaxation for body and mind. Think of it as a subscription where you are investing in your health and well being each month. Memberships can be cancelled at any time for no fee and they offer a discount for ongoing sessions. This is a commitment to yourself and your continuing comfort, health, and happiness.

Fortunate! That is exactly how I feel about coming across Cherry Bligh in my life. She is extremely gifted and knows exactly how to help a person overcome obstacles (or what we perceive them to be) in life.
I'd recommend Cherry to anyone who wants a soothing voice (and the upper crust British accent doesn't hurt either!) and desire to change patterns and see life in a different way. I've gone to her for anxiety and she, through positive self reinforcement, mantras and a variety of tools at her fingertips, has helped me tune into a higher vibration. I'm starting to see results in my life both personally and professionally.
Don't hesitate if you want to see someone who is non judgmental and able to help you see your life through a new and a clearer set of lenses, so to speak. Just be open to what she has to say and allow her to guide you. She is a kind soul who wants the world to lift each other up. Thank you, Cherry, for everything you have done!

I would highly recommend Cherry to assist you in any area in your life that you would like help with. I will definitely be a repeat client.”

“I had never done a hypnosis session before, and Cherry did a great job explaining and answered all my questions. She was very approachable and made me comfortable. The session was on the phone, and I was completely relaxed and in the zone. I got interrupted and had to handle something in the middle. Cherry was a pro, didn’t blink, just took me right back sweetly and carefully. I can see how this could change people’s lives!”

— M. D., Rancho Cucamonga, CA

I highly recommend Cherry as she is right on-target, responsive, articulate and bottom-line amazing. If you reach out to Her you won’t be disappointing if you connect with her with an open mind and heart.
I plan on taking her Reiki healing sessions and look forward to working together in the future. Blessings”

“I am very pleased with my hypnotherapy sessions with Cherry Bligh.
Trying to become more connected with my spirituality, I decided to give hypnotherapy a try. My teacher in my meditation class
suggested the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. I signed up for a couple of classes and was hooked up with Cherry one of the hypnotherapists.
I couldn’t have been more pleased. Cherry is very relatable, she is soft spoken and has the ability to calm almost immediately.
She has taught me to listen to my inner self. I suffer from adult ADHD, have anxiety and have had trouble sleeping for years.
My sessions have been very beneficial to helping me overcome my shortcomings.
I had to do the work, but she gave me the tools to accomplish what I needed.
I would recommend her to anyone thinking of trying hypnotherapy to help them help them self.”

“Cherry Bligh has a true gift and natural talent as a hypnotherapist. The way she interweaves her words to your specific needs is almost poetic. You can feel her warm-heartedness and compassion, and it is very easy to feel comfortable and relaxed with her.
When I first started seeing Cherry, I wanted to work on my overall anxiety. Through hypnotherapy sessions with Cherry, my anxiety has improved as well as my general happiness, self-esteem, and courage to pursue my art career (which I had been putting off for years and am now making great progress)! I highly recommend Cherry for any improvement you’d like to pursue in your life.”
