article written by Larry Richards   When talking about my work, I often get the “rolling eyes” or hear the statement something like, “Does that stuff really work”? Or I have had people tell me, this is just “that new age stuff”.  Little do these individuals realize that Hypnotherapy, Meditation and Reiki have been around for many years and are not “New Age”.  I also run into those who believe meditation or Reiki is associated with some religious belief and are reluctant to even discuss the subject, and I admit, I was one of those “people”.  My knowledge of Hypnosis...
