So whats going to happen at a Hypnotic House Party for Weight Loss? Essentially we are going to get together and hang out. You will bring a blanket and a pillow or even a Yoga mat if you would like to stretch out. Justin James will hypnotize everyone in the group and give you powerful hypnotic suggestions while some music plays in the background. It will be like daydreaming or taking a nice nap.
So you come hang out and take a nap, what happens next? For some the changes are subtle for others, it can be pretty dramatic. Lifestyle changes that were very difficult to make are suddenly within reach and your habits and choices begin to change overnight.

Each spring, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop to rest and feed in Grays Harbor estuary on their migration northward. Coming from as far south as Argentina, these Arctic-bound shorebirds are among the world’s greatest migrants. Some birds travel more than 15,000 miles round trip! Tens of thousands of shorebirds feed on the open mudflats in the estuary. This concentration of birds offers people a great chance to view a number of shorebird species, and with luck, to see the birds fly together in beautiful formation while trying to escape the fastest creature on earth, the Peregrine Falcon.
