"We all Need Each Other"

Remember that life would be boring if we did not have each other. We all need each other to feel our own expression in the world. We are all unified with the world through the same desires: to love and be loved, to respect and be respected and to honor and be honored. All of us have the opportunity in our everyday lives to care, to express, to share, to laugh and to love. Life is a dance so get your dancing shoes on.

Shayn Cutino's Words for the day

Allow your eyes, even your physical eyes, to see that you are in midst of that which you have desired. Know that what you have been asking for you already have. What comes from this is a great sense of gratitude. "You are truly blessed" - and you are -"with what you do have".

Be Your Own “Happy Place”

Have you ever heard someone tell you to “go to your happy place”? This is often a recommendation we receive when we are dealing with a lot of stress or heartache. The point is to escape, as least in our minds, to a different environment in which we can experience peace and serenity. We are all unique individuals, so I am sure that everyone’s “happy place” is specific to their personalities. Some may envision a quiet beach at sunset with the surf rushing towards the shore. Others may prefer a seat behind home plate at Yankee Stadium during Game 7 of the World Series. Perhaps you transport to a huge amusement park with every roller coaster at your immediate disposal. What if you could make any situation a part of your “happy place” simply because you are there and happy with yourself.

Each of us has the ability to obtain a greater level of confidence and self-love that will allow us to be happy right where we are. To achieve this goal, we must first recognize what is preventing us from being able to enjoy true happiness. Maybe you already know the obstacles in your own mind. Are you struggling with jealousy related to a past relationship, a competitive sibling, or even a stranger? Was your self-esteem damaged in childhood by parents and other mentors who always told you that you were not good enough? Do you harbor guilt from some regrettable decisions that you made earlier in life? You can move forward from these emotional shackles.

In my new book The Anja Technique, I discuss the ten primary obstacles that prevent us from experiencing complete self-love and then guide you through relaxation techniques and affirmation exercises that will teach your brain to reject the thoughts that are holding you back. The obstacles, no matter how pervasive, can be removed for good!

I hope you will read The Anja Technique and listen to the CD, then begin your journey towards a happy place that is with you no matter where you are.

Shayn's Quote for Saturday August 1st

Everything that has happened in your life has had a purpose and a meaning, whether you judge it to be pain or joy. To accept what has happened is to acknowledge your path..your journey. You can make no wrong decision. They are simply choices with different experiences. Once you love and accept who you are, you can easily make a choice for something different. It is the nature of energy.

Shayn's Quote of the Day

When you begin to see a challenge as an opportunity for growth: when you have a desire to accomplish a task that you allow nothing or no one to stop you; when you have placed your clear, concise vision into the Universe asking for the best outcome, for your greatest good and the greater good of all; when you have laid a firm foundation and move forward towards your goal, then you will find and live your passion.

Shayne's Quote of the Day

When you are high on the scale of love, you don't have to climb higher. At that particular

moment, love is the focus of everything. When you're not climbing to get up the ladder of love

because you are already there, the ladder falls away, and you understand something you have

never understood before. Love is just another project of All That Is.

Breaking the Misconceptions about Hypnotherapy

Have you ever considered hypnotherapy as a way to alleviate whatever emotional burdens or physical ailments are interfering with your quality of life, but perhaps you are hesitant to participate in this break from alternative medicine? When you mention the possibility of hypnosis to friends or family, do you receive some raised eyebrows or outright criticism concerning your interest in moving beyond traditionally accepted solutions?

There are so many misconceptions about what exactly happens when you enter the office of a clinical hypnotherapist. I believe that some concrete information about the true practice of hypnotherapy would change the minds of many skeptics. And, with a new attitude towards the practice, people will finally have the opportunity to experience a more enjoyable, confident life free from the internal struggles that had been plaguing them, often for many years.


When you walk into my office or that of any other serious and licensed hypnotherapist, you will not be put under a spell and asked to hop on one foot or cluck like a chicken. This is simply a misconception that is perpetrated on television shows.

Our goal is not to make you engage in ridiculous activities. In fact, your unconscious mind would never allow you to take part in such uncomfortable tricks. Instead, a hypnotherapist guides her clients into a relaxed state of body and mind that resembles the moments during which you are drifting off to sleep or waking up in the morning. Once this relaxation is achieved, the therapist will use a variety of techniques to awaken deep-rooted issues that may exist deep in the client’s past.

An experienced hypnotherapist can then essentially rewire the unconscious mind so that these issues no longer have the same power over a client’s current state of mind. I can understand if the concept of “rewiring the brain” seems scary and dangerous, but that could not be further from the truth.

Instead, clinical hypnotherapy is a safe and effective treatment that is performed with gentleness and deliberate care. The result will be removing psychological toxins from your way of thinking and therefore creating a better life.



What are some specific ways in which hypnotherapy can help you? You can expect to enjoy relief from anxiety, low self-confidence, stress, smoking, weight issues, phobias, sleep disorders, anger management, nail biting, depression, shyness, claustrophobia, impotence, allergies, substance abuse, panic attacks, fear of flying, poor memory and many more areas that interfere with the quality of your everyday existence.

If you are experiencing any of these problems, you already know that you are not as happy and satisfied as possible. Nothing else has worked—why shouldn’t you try something new?



I understand that you want to feel comfortable before embarking on any new path that will have a direct impact on your life, even if the journey is meant to bring you positive outcomes. I simply ask that you look more deeply into the possibilities that hypnotherapy offers and believe what your mind and heart are telling you about the process. Most clinical hypnotherapists choose their profession out of a genuine passion for helping people learn to live a fuller life that is rich in love.

Please reach out and start that process for yourself today.

Keeping Calm in Troubling Economic Times

The current economic recession has affected nearly every person in this country, some more directly than others. The country’s unemployment rate currently stands at 9.4%, with analysts arguing daily on the 24-hour news networks whether this number might pass the even scarier 10% mark. Some cities and regions of our nation are already struggling with a much greater percentage of the population that is out of work. These painful statistics represent much more than a difficulty in keeping up with the monthly bills. The stress and arguments associated with finances are placing more marriages in jeopardy. High school students are reevaluating their dreams for furthering their education at a top-tier, expensive college. Business owners put their heads on their pillows at night thinking about how they are going to explain to the loyal employee with four kids at home that there is no longer a job for him. Tough economic times have serious effects on us not only financially, but also physically and psychologically. You really could not blame our entire country if we fell into a collective depression together! However, we know that this attitude is not going to improve the situation. What, then, can we do as individuals to make our lives better both on a daily basis and over time?

Breathe. The answer starts with an idea that simple. I know this suggestion may at first seem ridiculous when there are so many pressures and doubts that are swirling through your head morning, noon, and night. But, learning how to breathe correctly and allowing yourself to reach a deeper level of relaxation will promote a perspective that you may never have experienced before. I have read news stories about some of the other approaches that people are taking in relieving themselves from the negative influence of the poor economy. Alcohol sales are up, lottery ticket sales have increased, and even department store counters are reporting more sales of perfume. We are looking for a variety of outlets either to numb our emotions or make ourselves feel better. Why not consider an approach that heightens our self-awareness and has a much smaller impact on an already stretched budget? Just breathe.

Through the safe and effective practice of clinical hypnotherapy, you can learn some important relaxation techniques that will open your unconscious mind to act as a great healing agent. You will be able to recognize the key sources of the tension in your life, be they the monthly bills or the growing number of pink slips in your office or the strained conversations with your spouse, and teach your mind to rethink its approach to the situation. You really can learn to relax and take each challenge of life as it comes. Can you imagine that, even in these difficult times, you can greatly reduce the level of anxiety that is currently keeping you awake at night and preventing you from functioning during the day?

My entire professional life has been devoted to teaching others how to enhance their lives and achieve positive health. I truly enjoy working with people and I know hypnosis can work for you. Please consider this option and find peace and happiness in your life no matter what circumstances may come.

You Choose What You Eat and Where You Live … Now Choose Your Emotions

Each one of us is given the task of making countless choices every day. What should I eat for breakfast? Do I want to listen to music or news or just enjoy the silence during my drive to work? Will I take advantage of the beautiful spring day and go for an afternoon jog? One of the most important decisions we can make is the emotions that we are going to let dictate our mood for the day. This is not a choice that needs to be made once a week or even once a day, but instead must become a fundamental and ongoing part of our psychological development. Will we choose to let fear, jealousy, or guilt fuel our souls as we go through our day? Or, will we decide upon the more positive option of focusing on love, happiness, and success? Perhaps you think that the impact of these strong emotions is beyond your control. You can’t help what you feel, right? I am here to tell you that you can.

We all have the capability to reorient our minds and focus on the healing emotions of self-love and contentment. The unconscious mind that exists within each one of us is the basic tool we need to create the shift in our outlook. All you need to know are the simple techniques that will unlock your brain’s amazing potential and you will notice a change almost immediately. Through work with a trained clinical hypnotherapist, you can master deep relaxation exercises that will focus your mind and remove those old emotional roadblocks. Imagine finally being freed from the chains of negative thoughts, inner conflict, and guilt.

I am now offering the ability for you to learn key relaxation techniques right in your very own home. With my new book, The Anja Technique, and companion CD, you will discover the joys of self-love and a more fulfilling life. It is my professional and personal joy to learn about the transformation that men and women experience after practicing my simple steps for just a few weeks. If you have any questions about hypnotherapy, or if you are willing to share how the experience has helped you, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Self-Doubt Does Not Need to Paralyze You for One More Day

Perhaps one of the most paralyzing emotions that we allow to plague us is self-doubt. We do not want to accept a promotion because we do not think we are intelligent or talented enough to handle the new responsibilities. We shy away from a potential romantic partner because surely that person could not really like us for who we are. We live every day unfulfilled and wishing for more joy but not quite feeling as if we deserve such happiness. If any of these scenarios rings true with you, please know that life does not have to be this way.

Self-doubt can stem from a variety of different episodes in our lives. You may have had a parent who was constantly telling you that you are not good enough. Maybe a spouse made you feel inadequate or unworthy of love. Whatever the root issue may be, there is a way to discover the problem and remove its power from our lives. Clinical hypnotherapy is a safe and effective method for opening your unconscious mind and retraining your thoughts in a way that encourages self-acceptance and self-love. In case no one has ever told you this before, let me be the first—you deserve to be loved! The best place to start experiencing this emotion is within our own selves.

I want you to learn the skills that will enable you to erase self-doubt from your mind and soul. In my new book, The Anja Technique, I guide my readers through a series of relaxation exercises that will lead you to remove the emotional blockades in your life. The book is accompanied by a CD that will provide a soothing background through each step in the process. I hope you will try The Anja Technique as a way of relieving your self-doubt, panic attacks, depression, or any other issue that restricts your life. Today is the day to start on the path to greater serenity and peace!
