NEW Video – Learn about Hypnosis!

This new video is designed to help you better understand the amazing phenomenon of Hypnosis!

Hypnosis is a state of mind.  In the state of Hypnosis, your body is relaxed and your mind is alert and aware.  In this mode, your subconscious mind — the deep part of your mind — is more accessible.  Your subconscious mind accepts the affirmative statements that it is given …  it, then, carries these out when you are back in your fully-awake state.

So, what can Hypnosis be used for?  You can undergo hypnosis for weight loss, hypnosis to stop smoking, confidence hypnosis, public speaking hypnosis, anxiety hypnosis … and much, much more.  Hypnosis is GREAT for facilitating  habit change.  Would you like your life to be better?  Hypnosis is the tool to help you create this outcome!

The Benefits of Life Coaching



Life Coaching has been gaining increased popularity.  The reasons for this lie in its many benefits.  Here are a few key benefits of Life Coaching::

  • Relationship interaction between you (the client) and your coach impel action.
  • You set more effective goals — desirable goals that move you along, rather than goals you have to push yourself to accomplish.
  • You develop additional skills … use of these lead you to even greater success.
  • You take more effective, focused action immediately.
  • You stop settling for what has been dragging you down.
  • You create energy to carry you through getting successful results.
  • You set goals that are specifically what YOU want.
  • You take yourself more seriously:  You become a force to be reckoned with … by YOU!

To see if Life Coaching might be for you, can you imagine yourself enjoying these benefits?:

  • Are you tired of doing what you think you “should” do, rather than something that is special and meaningful for the rest of your life?  Many people are in the same situation.  When you can’t see what this is and/or can’t find a way to reorient your life around it, a life coach can help you to do so.
  • Do you recognize how simple it can be to accomplish something that several years ago seemed out of your reach?  Do you have the time and resources to invest in your growth?  More and more people feel the same.  They are using the large tool kit of their life coaches — and the process of professional life coaching — to make their dreams into reality.
  • Are you beginning to recognize that greater non-tangible potentials — spiritual realities — require a place in your life?  An effective life coach can help you to better tune-in to yourself and to others.

If you answered, “yes” to any of these, Life Coaching just might be for you!  To find out for yourself, contact Dr. Shiple at (602) 266 -6662 or with a brief email to mshiple@thelifecoachdr dot com (that domain is “thelifecoachdr.com”).

How to Choose a Life Coach


Once you have decided that life coaching would benefit you, it is time to research a coach. You are looking for a “fit” a connection between you and the Life Coach whom you select.

If you know someone who is seeing, or has seen, a Life Coach and was pleased with the results and the assistance provided, you can ask him/her for a referral. If this is not available to you — or if it is not a direction you wish to pursue — other avenues exist.

1. In the Yellow Pages (physical phone book or online), find the heading that addresses the type of treatment you desire e.g., “stress management” to learn to coping skills to deal with stress; “hypnotherapy” to change destructive habits; “pain management” for handling pain-complex distress.

2. Look at the credentials of the Life Coach

  • Where did s/he receive her/his schooling?
  • What degree(s) has s/he earned?
  • In what organizations does s/he hold membership?
  • What certifications and/or licenses does s/he hold?
  • How many years has s/he been in practice?

If necessary, call to get this information.

3. Consider random factors, variable among different coaches; e.g., location, convenience of appointments scheduling, cost.

4.  Taking into account #1 through #3 (above), make a list of 3-5 possible treatment professionals.

5. Talk with each Life Coach on your list. Ask about his/her treatment style. For example, does he/she mostly listen while you talk? Does he/she offer practical suggestions for change? Is homework given?

Now, for THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of your selection process, consider the following:

a. How do these responses match what you think would work best for you?

b. Pay attention to your intuition while talking with the Life Coach

  • How does this Life Coach sound and feel to you?
  • Do you sense that s/he would understand you and your circumstances?
  • Do you sense that s/he would be able to help you?
  • Do you feel that you would listen to and follow the guidance s/he gives?

Listen to your “gut feeling” and make an appointment with the Life Coach whom you feel most strongly could assist you.

Thoughts of Age Can Affect How You Age

ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2010) — According to research from Purdue University, the saying “You’re only as old as you feel” seems to resonate especially with older adults. According to the study’s lead investigator, “How old you are matters, but beyond that it’s your interpretation that has far-reaching implications for the process of aging.”

Doctoral student in sociology and gerontology, Markus H. Schafer continues to explain, “If you feel old beyond your own chronological years, you are probably going to experience a lot of the downsides that we associate with aging. But if you are older and maintain a sense of being younger, then that gives you an edge in maintaining a lot of the abilities you prize.”

Schafer and co-author Tetyana P. Shippee, a Purdue graduate who is a research associate at Purdue’s Center on Aging and the Life Course, compared people’s chronological age and their subjective age to determine which one has a greater influence on cognitive abilities during older adulthood. Nearly 500 people ages 55-74 were surveyed about aging in 1995 and in 2005 as part of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States.

In 1995, when people were asked what age do you feel most of the time, the majority identified with being 12 years younger than they actually were. The researchers found that those who felt young for their age also experienced greater confidence about their cognitive abilities a decade after.

“We are not sure about what comes first,” Schafer explained. “Does a person’s wellness and happiness affect their cognitive abilities or does a person’s cognitive ability contribute to their sense of wellness.” This will be addressed in future research.

Schafer points out both positive and negative implications of this study’s findings. “There is a tremendous emphasis on being youthful in our society and that can have a negative effect for people,” Schafer said. “People want to feel younger, and so when they do inevitably age they can lose a lot of confidence in their cognitive abilities.”

“But on the other hand, because there is such a desire in America to stay young, there may be benefits of trying to maintain a sense of youthfulness by keeping up with new trends and activities that feel invigorating. Learning new technologies is one way people can continue to improve their cognitive abilities. It will be interesting to see how, or if, these cultural norms shift as the Baby Boomer generation ages.”

“There is a slight difference between men and women, but it’s not as pronounced as we expected,” Schafer said. “This was surprising because of the emphasis on physical attractiveness and youth that is often disproportionately placed on women.”

These findings were published in January’s Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences, and the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Retirement Coaching

There is an exciting, new way to look at your senior years! At the core of this outlook is the concept of you continuing to lead a meaningful life. For many years, I’ve had people come to me wanting to know their life’s purpose. These people were seeking to understand why they were alive. They desired to better comprehend the meaning of their lives — why they were here, how they could leave the world a better place, etc.

Each of these folks were in their 60′s. To a person, they expressed that they were looking at the waning years of their lives. Each was concerned about having his/her life matter, to have it mean something.

In the past, the idea was common that one’s senior years — those years after one left behind their first professional career — was a time of “retirement”. The concept Read the rest of this entry »

8 Keys to Effective Stress Management


The following are Eight Keys to Manage Stress in your life.  Using these keys in your life will unlock your inner doors to more peace, relaxation, and longevity for you–

1.  LEARN TO RELAX:   While this may sound almost too simple for  belief, go ahead and give it careful practice.  Relaxation benefits not only your physical condition, but your mental and emotional states as well.  Experiment to discover the ways of relaxation that work best for you.

2.  BREATHE DEEPLY & RHYTHMICALLY:  Breathing … now how tough is that?  You may find it surprising that many people do not breathe in a relaxing, stress-reducing way.  Stress-reduction breathing is deep and regular, with the inhale and exhale approximately the same length.  Often people breathe shallowly, or unevenly, or they hold their breath.  If you start to pay attention to others’ breathing patterns, you can easily see this.  If you start to pay attention to YOUR OWN breathing patterns, you can easily become aware of this, too.  Breath draws in vital oxygen, which is required by each cell to stay strong and healthy.  It strengthens your physical, mental and emotion energy.  It allows you to “let go” of tension and pressure.  Your breathing is a physiological function that is with you each and every moment … and breathing deeply, in an unstressed fashion, costs you nothing — it is free!

3.  FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE:  When a situation occurs, concentrate on all of the positive interpretations Read the rest of this entry »

5 Steps to Abundance


Abundance … does it seem like it’s far, far away? Have you become panicked at all of the Gloom and Doom on the news wires lately? Do you want to keep your attitude positive … and yet find yourself slipping into negative thinking? … and not know how to extricate yourself?

What can you do …

… to focus your life in directions that serve you?

… to surround yourself with confidence and a sense of safety?

… to move your own experience to one of kindness and manifestation?

You can start NOW and take control of your own experience! You can stop listening to predictions of perdition and begin to create your own prosperity. And you can do so Right Now!

You already have the mechanism for doing this. It rests in the capability and creative power of your subconscious mind. The power of the subconscious mind creates what you are thinking. This is called “self-fulfilling prophecy”. Every moment of every day, your subconscious mind creates according to the thoughts you hold in mind.

If you believe that everything is doomed, it is. Not because — objectively — it has to be … but, once you’ve verbalized to yourself with intention, “Everything is doomed”, it has to be because you believe it so! AND you get to be right .. every time! That is the nature of your subconscious-mind creation.

Conversely, if you believe that there is abundance in the Universe … and if you believe that you share in this abundance, you do. Not because it has to be … but it has to be because you believe it so! AND you get to be right … every time! That IS the nature of our subconscious-mind creation.

Here’s what to do … Follow these 5 Steps to Abundance:

STEP #1: Experiment over and over with your thoughts.

STEP #2: Challenge your subconscious mind to create the MOST positive ideas you can imagine!

STEP #3: Let your imagination run wild!

STEP #4: Put those ideas into thought and command your subconscious mind to bring them into your life … starting this very minute!

STEP #5: Keep watch — notice the bounty that comes your way!

I invite you to use these steps over and over to create prosperity and abundance in your life.
