On the 14th January 2022 we'd raised £20 with 1 supporters in 28 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
The Story:
I've always had big dreams of serving humanity in one way or another, since the age of 16, either by providing healing, or by constructing entrepreneurial, humanitarian and environmental projects.
Unfortunately procrastination, fear of success and self sabotage have always held me back. After so many years, I still hold on quite doggedly to my dreams and goals, but it is wearing me down - wondering if I will ever overcome myself and make them happen.
Recently, along with snowballing personal circumstances, I hit the slump of depression. Whilst looking for ways to climb back out of it, I stumbled across a YouTube video about self sabotage, with Dr. Ramani and Grace Smith. I was totally inspired by the idea of Hypnotherapy.
Grace describes it as 'meditation with a goal'. It can address almost any problem you can think of; smoking, productivity, insomnia, anxiety, depression, fears, trauma and more. Many studies conducted by distinguished institutions are proving it to be marvellous pain relief, allowing faster healing.
I have quite meagre savings, but I was so inspired I felt no hesitation in throwing everything I could at it. Initially, I simply wanted to book some sessions to address my longstanding issues. Like how a sunrise slowly fills the sky with gorgeous, awesome light and colour, so it began to dawn on me that I could also train to do this for other people!
Working on the National Helpline for Universal Credit, I found much joy and pleasure in helping people and was often told my voice was calming and soothing. I'd never have attributed such a thing to myself if others hadn't, quite the opposite! The night I found Hypnotherapy, it was mentioned again, and it was such a critical serendipity that gave me that glimmer of belief in myself that I could be good at this. And what a beautiful glimmer that was!
The dilemma was that I could either do the sessions, or the training. I couldn't afford both - and it's quite a stretch to afford the training, but I'm so excited to get started as soon as possible! Upon reaching out to Grace's team, they informed me that I would actually get free sessions upon enrolment. That sealed it! On January 10th (two days after my birthday!), I will be enrolling one way or another!
Such a big investment is quite scary, but it's a leap of faith - and I think I can just about afford it. The reason I wanted to start this Crowdfunder, is mostly just to see what happens! The reading list is extensive, so that's my main hope - that I can raise something towards that. If people love the idea of cheap sessions, any extra that is raised - up to £1000 - would help relieve the intensity of such a huge investment. If contributions climb even higher than that - then, all further proceeds will be banked as free sessions for those in need.
It would be nice to establish some sort of a customer base, and I hope this reaches people that may not be able to afford Hypnotherapy normally (please share accordingly, if you know people that would really benefit from it). It could be a great Christmas present, or give a little boost to your New Years Resolutions - keeping in mind sessions wouldn't be available until after the 22nd February. They are incredibly cheap compared to sessions from a fully qualified Hypnotherapist. I will not be fully qualified until April so these would be practice sessions - as approved by Grace's team.
I am quite tempted to leave this Crowdfunder running, so people can continue to enjoy the discount. I think the community here are a lovely bunch - so supportive and generous. It would be nice to offer some kind of thanks for that!
Suffice to say, when I am an established, successful Hypnotherapist, cured of my procrastination and self sabotage - all surplus income will be invested in good deeds, projects and people. I can't wait!
I look forward to getting some feedback from you!
Love & Light
