Hypnotic Trips combine hiking, hypnosis and nature to release anxiety and other unwanted emotions. I am Valerie Grimes, the creator of Hypnotic Trips on You Tube.

HIKING LESSONS at Browns Lake Trail, COMANCHE PEAK WILDERNESS AREA The hiking lesson begins. 5:00 AM alarm, not my house, darn, I forgot to get a glass of water. Bryan will be up in 15 so I better get to the bathroom. I really hate, yes a strong word but the right word, hate getting …
