The holidays aren’t an easy time for everyone. Many adults experience feelings of disappointment. Many yearn for the days of childlike wonderment, lying in bed, listening for Santa’s sleigh bells, or the gathering of laughing cousins or kindly aunts and uncles.

As we get older, and we know who Santa really is, family gatherings sometimes have a way of turning toxic. And when it comes to gift giving or surviving the holiday season, we’re at a loss, so we look for help from outside the gift-wrapped box!

“Yoga, Pilates and martial arts have moved from the esoteric into the mainstream, which means many shoppers this year will be seeking a more meaningful, personal, spiritual gift experience,” says Dr. Georgina Cannon of the Ontario Hypnosis Centre, who teaches others how to reconnect to their own sense of purpose and meaning. “Thoughtful people are looking for gifts that connect the receiver with something deeper and often healthier.”

At her clinic, Dr. Cannon offers sessions and CDs which help people find the connection to their spiritual self as well as the more pragmatic health benefits of weight loss, dealing with bad habits or managing stress. A best seller for the holiday season last year was the CD for Creating Abundance. This year, calls have already been coming in for Letting Go of Stress and Relaxation and Renewal CD's. "It seems," she says, "that when life gets harried, people generally start to retreat from an outside life and move inward. That's why our CDs and e-books on Procrastination and Self Esteem are being packaged as gift packages this year, making the gift of health and wellness easy to give.”

The Ontario Hypnosis Centre Clinic and School offers CDs and gift certificates for classes and sessions to help clients find the ‘spiritual gift’ in giving. “A spiritual gift certificate for say, a session on Abundance, can often start a person on a path to self awareness and caring that they have so far avoided in their busy life,” Dr. Cannon explains. “This is an opportunity to help a friend or loved one bring balance into their life.”
