Rapp Street Journal, October 9, 2000 CODY HORTON By Sandy Chrisman "You are getting sleepy...." That phrase, repeated in an ominous monotone and accompanied by a swinging pocket watch, is what the word "hypnosis" conjures up for many people. And whether it's that aura of slightly sinister mystery, a search for healing and inner peace or a quest for fun, the ancient art of hypnosis is enjoying unprecedented popularity. People see hypnotherapy to help them stop smoking, lose weight and deal with stress. They take self-hypnosis classes and frequent stage shows where they might find themselves telling jokes like Roseanne. Sylvester Stallone was in a slump so he went to a Los Angeles Hypnotist to be hypnotized for success and shortly thereafter his movie Rocky came out and it was a blockbuster hit. Lilly Tomlin created Edith Ann right after she had been hypnotized for creativity. Why would someone want to be a stage hypnotist? According to Cody Horton, Clinical Hypnotherapist, it's fun and it's incredibly awesome to witness the power of the volunteer's subconscious mind; it is humbling. The subconscious mind is the creative aspect of your mind and the antics that the volunteers come up with is not only hilarious it's awe-inspiring. Stage hypnotism is what keeps the whole arena of hypnosis open. As people come out, see the show, become interested, lose their fear, they will likely be more willing to delve deeper and learn to help themselves through hypnotherapy or self-hypnosis. You can witness Cody work her hypnotic charm every Saturday night at the Elvis Cinemas located at 6014 S. Kipling St (Kipling & Bowles) on Saturday evenings at 8:00. Cody Horton is a professional speaker and trainer, and the author of Consciously Creating Wealth -- The secret for Wealth, Wisdom and Success. She conducts workshops for Fortune 500 companies and is an expert on the mind/body/soul connection, hypnosis and entrepreneurship.
