I met Luke and his powerful energy at a hypnotherapy course, and I believe he has a lot to say… so I’ll let him do most the talking:-
What does “healthy” mean to you?
I’m a very strong believer about mental health, yes we know about body health, eating right, drinking water. Although getting a balance is very important. I feel mental health still is a big & widely missed part. E.g. If a person is trying to lose weight, they exercise, eat right. They follow the guide, they get results, but if they haven’t looked inside, if they haven’t challenged the process of thought. Fear, anger, self-esteem. They might hold off the weight for a while or the behaviour may show up in other ways. Challenge all aspects of health, confront it! Face it! Don’t pass it off as a ‘meh’ or who cares.
Have you personally experienced hypnotherapy before and if so, please share your experience?
I have many times, we all have, just different types of hypnosis. So for me the results have been amazing! I always laugh and smile when I remember my past & see where I’ve come from & all the exciting change from the challenges that I confronted and smashed the belief! Now when I find something I can work on within, I get excited!
Why did you become a certified hypnotherapist and where to from here?
In a self-development book I was reading once, it talked about a man’s journey with hypnosis & the transformation. The first chance I had to get hypnotised, I did. I knew I felt this feeling before. I knew I had to do this, I had to understand it, and I had to help others.
So began my journey but it didn’t stop; the knowledge and learning just kept coming and still are. At this point I’ve just quit my job of 10 years, left it all behind to pursue my own dreams and purpose.
How are you now helping people in their journey to improve their quality of life & why is this important to you?
I’m showing people a different way at looking at sticking points in their life. Showing them how much potential they have within, just as I was shown. It’s important to me to help and change people, as it is said, we are all one. So by helping, I’m also helping myself & having a lot of fun along the way.
What advice do you have for anyone wanting to make changes in their lives?
Don’t hide from it, don’t ignore it. Allow yourself to accept it, process it, find the resources you are comfortable with & change to become a better version of yourself. The path may be tough, it may take a while, it may hurt…. But after, your soul with thankyou.
What is one very valuable and important lesson you have learned on your own personal journey that you can share?
Trust yourself! – Go into anything with 100%. Surrender to the fear of failing, and let go. Follow your heart space & do what makes you happy! – Other people are always going to try to tell you it’s not a good idea, it won’t work. Ignore them all. Ignore all the people who tell you, you can’t do it! – This is always a fun one, people always will do this, remember this is just a perception from their journey.
What are some of your greatest personal achievements?
Greatest achievement would be that I’m still here, I survived the dark times. Now I get to share it & show people how to make it out! How to achieve what they want! At this moment I have just embarked on my new venture and I hope to continue to add to my achievement list.
What are your ultimate goals?
Ultimate goals would be to inspirer likeminded people to challenge the core structure of hierarchy. Confront the people in charge and show them a different world, a world most people want.
Who are your inspirations (if any)?
I get inspiration by everything, friends, loved ones, and the homeless man on the street. Every interaction I have I learn & get inspired.
Anything else you wish to add?
Live in your heart space!
What inspiring words Luke. You say exactly what I think but I don’t have the words, you do. Thanks Chantelle for sharing. xx Dawn
