Now, let’s dive into this week’s Welcome article—because welcoming power from within is exactly what this moment calls for.

Welcome as a Therapeutic Catalyst

Welcome! That word, in any culture or language, is the archetype for embracing and accepting. It is a very potent word, therapeutically employed to great effect in my work as a hypnotherapist. Subconsciously, the word facilitates the embracing and accepting of whatever intention follows it. (Notice that word begins every one of these newsletters that is fortunate enough to be opened by engaging readers.)

In my practice, I encourage clients to use this word for every desired intention or goal—because anything welcomed makes itself at home. This is the consequence of anything that is welcomed—it makes itself at home.

Normalizing Your Intention

When you feel welcomed in a business, restaurant, or someone’s very abode, you make yourself at home—comfortable. Isn’t this what is desired with any intention? For its reality to “make itself at home”—normalized as an aspect of your life?

In your communication, vocabulary, and thoughts, exchange the word want (you want this or that) with welcoming that reality or intention. Your intent becomes to welcome greater abundance in your life rather than want it. Your intention now is to welcome love in your life—not want, find, or search for its experience.

The Power in Replacing ‘Want’

You desire to welcome health and its supporting practices, rather than enviously or judgmentally wanting it.
Because of this word’s archetypal representation in culture, it is not merely semantics to replace the word welcome for words that infer lack or need (such as want); it provides psychological leverage for desired change.

Rather than saying words have power, it is better to say words have meaning—and the meaning has power (ask any political despot). To welcome love, abundance, health, success, purpose, joy, peace—rather than to need, chase, covet, wish, or demand these realities—permits the journey of realizing these dynamics to be a harmonious one, rather than an arduous one.

Aligning with Life’s Agency

Use this word to facilitate a paradigm shift in your thinking—as thought is the origin of all possibilities. You take this insight to heart, and you will enter into the heart of every true desire and hope. That sentence isn’t hyperbole—it’s hyper-activation.

To activate Life’s Agency on your well-being’s behalf, it must be welcomed. Not pursued, begged, manipulated, managed, or coerced—but welcomed. Welcome aligns. Welcome permits. Welcome fortifies. Welcome empowers.

To intentionally welcome good in your life is really an act of self-love. You experience no stress and strain in welcoming. It’s like a bee drawn to a flower’s nectar; the flower is not beseeching or clamoring. Welcoming becomes the nectar drawing good to you and from you.

Welcome the release of pain rather than chase it. Welcome the sight that sees beyond the turmoil to the peace in the midst. Welcome the transition from victim to victor.

Remember: anything welcomed—makes itself at home.

When you intentionally welcome support, you make space for transformation to take root.
Schedule a personalized hypnotherapy session—available in-office or virtually—to help you dissolve old patterns of resistance and foster the mindset that sustains your continuous expression and productivity.
