Whilst on a conference in Chicago organized by my firm, Deloitte & Touche I attended a workshop session entitled “Stress-Relief through Hypnosis: How to stay healthy on the road” conducted by Marc St.Camille. Marc took us through a 20 minute meditation session and a 20 minute hypnosis session. The session overall was extremely effective in making me feeling relaxed and afterwards I was left feeling more alert, aware and refreshed. During the one hour we had with Marc he was able to teach us the basic practices to continue a program of meditation and/or self hypnosis by ourselves and I have continued to do so. The benefits I experienced from the one hour session are successfully reproduced and I find myself generally more alert and productive, but also more relaxed and less stressed as a result.
