Once upon a time . . .
In the land of every little girl’s fantasy, Snow White fell into a deep sleep. An evil woman gave her a poison apple and she actually took a bite of it. Snow White could only be awakened by the kiss of a prince, and she was lucky enough to receive one. Well, I have a few questions about this story.
1. What on earth was Snow White thinking? If a stranger gave you an apple, wouldn’t you think twice before eating it? We live in a dangerous world and trust is hard to come by. We should be teaching our children NOT to accept food from a stranger.
2. Even if I were to accept the fact that Snow White could only be awakened by the kiss of a prince, I would have to ask myself these questions. If you ate a poison apple, what chance do you have to live happily ever after? What prince would want to kiss a deceased woman? Is a Prince supposed to possess magical powers? Last I heard, Jesus is the only one who can raise someone from the dead.
3. Why are we teaching our little girls that they have to be rescued by men? I’m no women’s libber, but we women are doing a pretty good job these days of taking care of ourselves while raising children and working. It just isn’t realistic to think that a man is going to rescue us in any way, shape or form.
If you really look for it…
there’s some correlation between the Snow White fairy tale and hypnosis. Snow White fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up her life had changed for the better. She didn’t have to eat a poison apple or be kissed by a magical prince to achieve this great outcome. All she needed was the courage to step forward and take control of her own life.
What can hypnosis do for you.
If you close your eyes and look deep into your subconscious mind, you will find a wealth of resources you didn’t even know were there. Look within yourself and find what you need to make a success of your life. Have the courage to step forward and try something new. The best thing about it is that you can accomplish happiness, joy and peace all on your own (with a little help from a professional hypnotist). You will simply open your eyes to a brand-new world.
If you want to go around kissing princes like Snow White, I’m all for it. However, please be realistic enough to understand that his kiss, no matter how hot it might be, will not have the power to rescue you from anything. You can only do that for yourself. It’s easy, it’s quick and it’s fun. So, close your eyes and allow yourself to relax . . .
