I had the privilege of watching a gentleman by the name of Kevin Grise who is a professional and world renowned stage hypnotist.  His show was hilarious. He had several volunteers up on the stage and put them through a period of hypnosis. The volunteers went from being in the hot desert to very cold temperatures, from being race car driver to running from James Bond. It was not only entertaining but hilarious to watch as these people’s thoughts and actions were directed through hypnosis. He had guys running through the crowd thinking that they were Fred Flinstone yelling at the top of their lungs for Wilma. Another guy thought he was Mc Jagger while the guy opposite hime was Elvis. I could hardly breathe I was laughing so hard at these people.

We took a short break after his session and on return, he agreed to share some of the techniques that he uses to hypnotize people.

Hypnotism is thought of to be some kind of voodoo or magic when it is nothing of that nature. Hypnotism is simply autosuggestion. Leading the mind or the imagination to a different place. Guided meditation in a way. There are many different levels of hypnosis in which we all operate. Most of us operate on the Beta Alpha levels and the real hypnosis happens in the Delta.

Beta – Full Consciousness

Alpha – Dream State – Mental restoration and light levels of hypnosis

Theta – Medium to deep relaxation and levels of hypnosis

Delta – Full to the deepest sleep – Physical or cellular restoration

Here we are on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. We arrived on Sunday and are staying here at the Waikoloa Hilton Resort overlooking the ocean. What a beautiful and inspiring place this is. It is our first time to the Hawaiian Islands and I am impressed.

We flew in on Sunday and checked into our room here in the Palace towers. The resort is full of things and activities for both couples and families. There are paddle boats, kayaking, snorkeling, and you can even feed and swim with the dolphins. There are huge pools, spa’s, hammocks, dining and entertainment for all kinds of different people.

Monday we decided to have a full day of fun. We went kayaking into ocean caves, cliff jumping, snorkeling, and last but not in anyway least, para-sailing. Amy and I absolutely loved every minute of it even though we both got a little queezy on the boat as we were going out to sea. Being from Arizona, we just aren’t used to the wavey ride.

I absolutely love my life. I have a beautiful family, I answer to nobody but myself……and Amy occasionally, and make a ton of money. I can live and do what ever I want with this business. This is our 4th or 5th long vacation this year. I swear, everyday feels like a weekend now. I wouldn’t trade this for the world.

In March we attended an event in Cancun Mexico. We arrived on a Monday afternoon, checked into the Moon Palace resort, found our room and took a tour of the grounds. This resort is fantastic. It is an all inclusive resort located right on the beach in Cancun. The service was so excellent, we actually set a goal to see if it were possible to walk by an employee without them saying, “hola.” We failed to achieve our goal.

The event itself was nothing short of inspiring. We heard from Dick Hoyt, who shows his love and compassion for his son while demonstrating his tremendous desire to go the extra mile. His son, Rick, had been tangled with the umbilical cord, at birth, which confined him to a wheel chair for the rest of his life. To make a long story short, Rick was given the opportunity to speak through a computer and told his parents that when he is running, it feels like he isn’t handicapped. Since then, they have been in many marathons and triathlons across the nation and have overcome tremendous obstacles along the way. Truly inspiring. The crowd cheered through tears of inspiration for Team Hoyt.
We also heard from Patrick Combs and Deanna Latson. David Neagle had a near death experience of being sucked through a dam. After that experience he devoted his life to helping others realize their true potential with the simple concept, JUST BELIEVE. Patrick Combs was told over and over again that he would never achieve his goals and that he should give up. For more than a decade he has dedicated his career to helping people live with more courage, passion, inspiration and meaning. Deanna touched on some permanent lifestyle changes that will improve health and wellbeing. Her inspiration was to save her Dad’s life, and in turn has helped so many more.

In addition to hearing from these inspiring speakers, we had some play time. We rented a wave runner and hit the waves in the ocean. Talk about being sore afterwards. Also we rented some little two seat-er speed boats , cruised through water channels and snorkeled in the reef. How often do most people get to do that or even have the time, freedom, and money to vacation in exotic locations like this? We plan on doing it again this coming October in Hawaii during our next event. And since this blog is fairly new I will update you on the last Liberty Conference in Puerto Rico.

At the end of every event is a black tie event. This event closes things out with a wild night of fun and entertainment. This is truly an amazing community of individuals we are part of. A room full with thousands of entrepreneurs who are living the lives of their dreams and it all comes down to a choice they made to get started. Already this year I have taken more vacations then I was ever able to take before I made this incredible life-changing choice.
