I was looking forward to Jan arriving so I could relax.On the Friday we finished early so my clients suggested we go to the bar and celebrate the sign...ng of our business contracts by having a few drinks and something to eat.Somewhere around 9pm the clients left leaving me feeling very pleased with myself having signed a major contract worth several million dollars. I grabbed another drink and headed for the lounge area to relax and unwind. When I entered the area it was nearly empty except for. During dinner they kept up the chatter, most of which I tuned out.

To make matters worse, they have found. "What did you do?" I asked again."The pain!" she cried.In my first year of collage, I had taken a course in hypnosis. It was mostly about how to use it on pain but I had found it to have other uses as well."Kathy, listen to me very carefully. I want you to look at my finger. Stare at it with all your will power!" Why? What are you doing?" she said holding her arm, a look of shock in her eyes."I'm going to make all the pain disappear." OK," she said as she stared at my finger."As my finger gets.
