Sunshine Hypnosis Chicago
Hypnosis automatically occurs anytime an individual becomes deeply relaxed and/or highly focused. Generally, a hypnotized person has greater awareness of sensations and surroundings. During the hypnosis session, the client generally hears and remembers most of what the hypnotist speaks. Therefore, the client can remain in control of his/her actions and feel safe throughout the session.

Hypnosis assists a person to become more inclined to do things he/she wants to do, but virtually never makes a person behave against their will.
Services
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of altered consciousness (awareness) in which a person is capable of internalizing thoughts and suggestions for the purpose of manifesting desired emotional, physical, mental, or spiritual change. Hypnosis automatically occurs anytime an individual becomes deeply relaxed and/or highly focused.
Over 30 years ago, Roger Callahan discovered and founded, Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Gary Craig, a student of Callahan, simplified TFT into what is known today as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

In the 1990's, Dr.'s Bruce Lipton and Dawson Church, a cellular biologist and psychologist respectively, came together with their knowledge, research, and experience from both in and out of the laboratory to write a critically acclaimed book, The Genie in Your Genes (Elite 2007).
Inner Child Connection is a unique and highly effective form which allows a person to have a first hand experience with the inner child. This type of Inner Child work is very different than talk therapy and utilizes hypnosis, guided imagery and a dialogue process using the non dominant and dominant hand.
Our mind is uniquely prepared to experience the continuity of time. While we are advised to live in the here and now, we all wander into the past or future. Our memory and imagination vary greatly from person to person. Even if you can remember every detail from your life, nobody can recall how these events affected them.
Raymond is currently available to assist you in achieving your goals Monday through Saturday at 2 great locations, CHICAGO and NAPERVILLE. Office hours are by appointment only. Morning, Afternoon, and Evening hours are available for your convenience. In most cases, it is generally recommended that you participate in 3 to 4 hypnosis sessions in order to gain the most benefits and achieve your goals.

As a female do not go to this guy. Told me I still had “a little” time to have kids. I’m 25. Then when I was explaining trama I faces as a child he laughed and said “how does that make sense” also used the terms “so you can live a normal life”. Oh my favorite was “ I bet you won’t get anymore tattoos, because society is a certain way” He acts woke and spiritual but is extremely superficial.
I wasn’t going to post this review bc I want to believe ppl have bad days or he didn’t mean it that way. But I just never want another woman with tattoos and no kids to feel like I did

I don't have enough words to say how grateful I am for this amazing experience. After I saw and had a session with Mr. Czarnecki my life completely changed. The sense of calm and joy that I discovered during and after my session was something that I never felt or imagined before. I was able to view things from a different perspective. Thank you

I went to see Raymond for past life regression therapy session. Once two years ago and once recently. Both times were a great experience. I was amazed how far back you can go and see yourself in different times, situations.
These sessiond helped me understand why am I acting in this life the way I am.
I am very greatful for time, patience and care I have experienced during these sessions. Raymond is a great person: understanding, caring and very profesional.

Working with Ray through my first experience with hypnosis was enriching! I could never find a better person to do this. This process helped me to improve my self confidence, deal with problems in a better perspective and feel more calm during different situations in my life. I would choose him again if I would need to.

Sounds like you're blaming others. Perhaps you should search your past. Payment in March for a service still not received in July is not unrealistic. Also my asking for a texted confirmation - which did not come until I again requested it again - after writing this review - is also not unrealistic. I am sorry that you don't like honest feedback. You might be very good at what you do. There are just certain aspects of running a business that you failed at in this case.

I went in for a past life regression therapy session a few weeks ago to help with my depression and I couldn't be happier with the results. Since the session I have felt better overall. I'm not entirely sure HOW it works but it works. I feel freed from the bouts of depression that loomed over my life. I am beyond grateful that I took a chance on this therapy because as of today, it has been life changing. Thank You Raymond!

Raymond is very open minded and knowledgeable in holistic healing overall. I got his help in 2013 and recently, both have been very effective. I can trust Ray with matters that are personal and I can be vulnerable with him, not only because his professionalism but also his compassion and kindness. I agree with many reviews here that I felt Ray helped to free myself from something I did not know how else I could have been freed from to get to the positive, confident stage I am in today. He is skilled and also a good person at his heart, which is very essential quality for a therapist to have. Ray

Raymond is amazing at what he does. I have been going to Raymond the past 4 years. He has helped me to lose weight, reach a level of happiness, and has even helped my daughter stop wetting the bed. I have referred my clients to him and they too have seen excellent results. I highly recommended sunshine hypnosis!

Raymond is a fantastic person that truly cares about your progression. I went to multiple sessions with Raymond to fix a specific issue I was having, and came out feeling better as a whole. Not only was my problem resolved in a few sessions, but I had other problems healed as well. As for Raymond, he is the most kind heart person I have ever met. He is extremely passionate and knowledgeable on his practice, and is here to simply help you heal. I have recommended him to multiple people and will continue to. Not only is his space calming, but it is in a convenient location. As I live downtown, there

My work with Ray and the resulting transformation has been nothing short of amazing. I initially went to see Ray when I started having flashbacks of a very early childhood trauma. In hypnosis I was able to see the events, understand what was coming through and revel in the strength and resilience I possess. Each person may seek hypnosis for a different reason but having a therapist that is caring, has the ability to listen and communicate, and create a climate of trust is paramount. I was fortunate to have found these qualities in Ray.

Let me sum this up for you: Hypnotherapy with Ray freed me from a prison I feared would bind me for the rest of my life.
I had tried for so long to free myself... I had tried so many other forms of therapy... and failed... that I honestly just thought, "Well - maybe this is just my life. Maybe this is just as good as it's going to get. Maybe I've learned everything I'm going to learn here. And I'm not sure I want to continue living if this is what it's going to be like."
Luckily my family helped me realize that I still had a lot to live for, so I backed down from

My experience with Ray was nothing but positive. I made an appointment after researching hypnotherapists for a few weeks and I decided I would try Sunshine Hypnosis. I was so thankful I did.
I say Ray during a transitional time in my life when I was hoping to gain some clear direction and peace when I needed it most. Our sessions were in a comfortable environment and Ray makes you feel safe and at ease. As someone who is rarely at ease I can attest to the fact that he has a very warm and calming way about him. I found our sessions to be very calming, relaxing and helpful overall. I gained a sense

I saw Ray a few weeks ago for past life regression therapy to explore my mental illness and it was such a great and eye-opening experience. He was so kind and thorough with his questions and helped me focus on an intention for the session. I felt quite at ease in his presence and never felt forced to see a past life that I did not want to see or explore. I can't recommend him enough.

Ray is definitely the right fit for what he does! At first, I was skeptical, but at the end of my session, I can't explain how relieved I felt. It's very hard to find a hypnosis and when you do, you don't know if they will be good or not. Ray came from a referral to me. I kw refer my patients to him! He treats everything from stress relief to pain with chemotherapy, and even eating disorders.

Had a great and super helpful group of sessions at Sunshine. I have been having trouble sleeping and grinding my teeth as I slept. My dentist discovered this years ago. But I was getting frustrated with going thru bite/mouth guards every couple of months.. So I decided to give hypnosis a try and found out things about myself I never knew.. Very enlightening and even life changing.. I can and have recommended friends and family got see Ray for help with any and all issues. Worth every penny to me!

I just read the reviews of Chris J and Jim F from Minooka and I am quite surprised. I do not know what happened there but that simply doesn't sound anything like Ray. I had seen him three times now and I can honestly say that he is one of the most genuine people who truly care about helping others. My explanation is that there is some sort of misunderstanding, but it is unfortunate to come across such review because Ray is, in fact, an amazing human being.
Now my story. The first time I went to Sunshine hypnosis I was a ticking time bomb. When I left the office I was a different person, I

It's hard to explain over text how truly amazing my experience with hypnotic regression was. I learned things about myself that I don't think would have been revealed to me in the present. As well as the ability to heal other areas of my life where I felt hopeless and unreconcilable. Raymond was very patient and never once during my session did I ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable.
One thing that I was concerned about is reliving past deaths and even thought I did it wasn't traumatic, horrifying or upsetting. It was peaceful and calm.
My recommendation for reserves or hesitation

I initially liked Raymond, but he "pre-charged" me for a future session, which I initially thought was strange. I went with it, but later asked for a refund. He said he would send me a check in the mail.....over 4 months ago. I still don't have the check. I called and texted him multiple times over the last 4 months and have gotten minimal to no response from him. The one time I heard back from him, he told me he sent me the check but to an address that did not come close to resembling mine. After that he ensured me he would resend it and never did. Not very professional,

I didn't quite know what to expect. I am not a magical thinker, aka I'm an atheist and don't really get into things on a super natural level. However, I am familiar with the positive effects of hypnosis just not on a professional guided level. Ray was extremely helpful, flexible and accommodating as well as friendly and welcoming. The session was safe secure and reassuring. On top of all of that I found it extremely interesting with a lingering effect that I'm still processing. I highly recommend giving this a shot. Heck, you probably spend this amount on a night out and this

Whether you are looking to undergo hypnosis for emotional or spiritual healing, to get yourself back on your feet, first time, or any of his many other services I highly recommend him. He works wonders!

I went to Raymond at a time in my life that I felt like I was at a stand still. I was rarely leaving the house and seemed to be at odds with everyone in my life.

I was unsure of what to expect when I booked my first appointment since the only time I had really encountered hypnosis was in TV and movies. I went in nervous and fairly shy. Meeting Raymond was like meeting a long lost uncle. He was

Dr. Ray Is the best in this field.
I have been working with him for a few weeks now and I feel great, We have made progress on my anxiety and addiction treatment.
Ray make you feel very comfortable at the sessions and makes me relax really well, relaxing is an essential part of hypnosis, he is very respectful and professional.
Some of his techniques are very effective, plus he would give you CD's audio support so you can follow up with the treatment at home.
I am not over yet with acheaving my goals of self control and anxiety management but we are in the right path and moving to the right

Raymond is an absolute pleasure to work with! I felt comfortable from the very beginning with him, even though I had never tried past life regression or had a formal hypnotherapy session. He was very easy to get a hold of and had a variety of times available for appointments with me. He even sent me some reading material (that specifically related to the past life regression) that I could read prior to our appointment to prepare myself. During the first visit, he explained the entire process in great detail and made sure I was comfortable with everything before we started. We even worked on a few
