What is the difference between Hypnosis and Focused Guided Imagery?
Focused Guided Imagery is an outgrowth of hypnotherapy.  After many years of study, Kirk Kirkpatrick has discovered and perfected the process of Focused Guided Imagery.  The words say it all.  Kirkpatrick incorporates hypnotherapy to relax the mind and body and then uses guided imagery to teach his clients to visualize and accept the successful results they want in every aspect of their life.  The results are magnificent.

How does it work in just three hours?
Simply put, it is the awesome power of the subconscious mind.  No teacher or Master of Guided Imagery can force results upon a student or client; clients must allow themselves to focus and concentrate on the suggestions offered during the session.  Anyone willing to allow these suggestions to enter their subconscious mind will see results.  It is similar to the example of electricity.  Most people, when asked, cannot explain how electricity works, but they enjoy the benefits of electricity every day.  All a person needs to know is if they flip the switch, the light comes on.  Focus Guided Imagery operates under the same basic principle.  Knowing the awesome power of the subconscious mind, anyone allowing suggestions to enter the subconscious mind will see tangible results based on those suggestions.

Are the effects of Focused Guided Imagery permanent?
Yes, if the student will allow it.  When a suggestion or piece of information is poured into the subconscious mind, it acts almost like a filing cabinet.  That piece of information will remain stored in the mind until a person decides to retrieve it, like a file.  As we get older, our mind, like a file cabinet, can become cluttered because of the thousands of conscious and subconscious thoughts that we have each day.  Through Focus Guided Imagery, Kirk Kirkpatrick will give every client certain “triggers” that act as an automatic file retriever.  Triggers, such as a triple eye blink, are a great way to recall thoughts that might be stored in the often cluttered file cabinet that is our mind.  These triggers are like tabs and labels on file folders that help us find files that we may have lost track of over time.  Once thoughts are entered into the mind’s filing cabinet, they are never removed, and can be retrieved any time a person wants to through focusing and concentrating on that thought.

You mention school grades, stress and athletic performance, are there other areas where Focused Guided Imagery are beneficial?
Focus Guided Imagery can literally work in any aspect of life where thoughts are involved.  Basically, everything we do on a daily basis!  Clients have successfully lost weight, stopped smoking and relieved physical pain from their body.  When it comes to the human mind, the possibilities are unlimited!

How large are the classes and is there a minimum number of students required for a session?
Focused Guided Imagery sessions will range from as few as ten students to as many as 250 students at a time.  It is essential for all participants to realize, however, that each session, while there may be many people in attendance, is a personal session where each person will learn individually how to focus, concentrate, and tap into the potential of their subconscious mind.

Do you guarantee your results?
At Focused Guided Imagery, we are convinced that we have discovered the secret to education.  We are so confident in our product and our ability to help students improve their grades, that we are willing to offer an unprecedented guarantee.  If any client participates in a Focused Guided Imagery seminar and fails to generate any improvement in their grade point average during the current semester, Focused Guided Imagery will provide a full refund of the cost of the seminar.  In fact, to ensure Focused Guided Imagery has the necessary resources to follow through with this guarantee, Kirk Kirkpatrick has set aside $50,000 of his own money to fund this guarantee.

Any client wishing to utilize the money back guarantee must provide Focused Guided Imagery with a copy of both their previous semester’s grades and the grades earned during the semester during which they attended the Focus Guided Imagery seminar.  The client must also sign a waiver asserting they earnestly followed the recommendations for classroom, study and test-testing and that the Focused Guided Imagery seminar did not work to improve their academic performance as advertised.

All claims must be made within six months of successfully completing the Focused Guided Imagery seminar.
