Ragini Elizabeth Michaels is a Marketplace Mystic, Author of 3 books & 8 CD's, Trainer of Communication and Modeling Skills, specializing in Behavioral Change, Hypnosis, and NLP. She has gained international recognition for her original work and her reputation as a superb teacher, presenter, and the pioneering originator of Facticity® and Paradox Management. Invitations to share her work have taken her beyond the boundaries of the US to Canada, England, Scotland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and India. She founded the Facticity Wisdom School in Seattle, Washington and has run what she calls Paradox Salons and Paradox Soirees, helping people discover how to better live in duality with peace and presence.
Ragini’s Paradox work has been recognized with respect and acclaim by the top leaders in her field, including Robert Dilts, head of NLP University in Santa Cruz, and Dr. Tad James, founder and director of Advanced Neuro-Dynamics in Hawaii. Ragini’s first book entitled Facticity – a door to mental health and beyond, was favorably reviewed by Dr. Tad James, author of Time Line Therapy and the Theory of Personality, as well as by one of her first meditation teachers, Dr. Jack Kornfield, author of Seeking The Heart of Wisdom, Living Buddhist Masters, and After The Ecstasy, The Laundry. Her book was listed as one of the “new favorites” in the News Magazine of the American Board of Hypnotherapy in 1993, and was also published in German in 1996 by the VAK Institute in Freiburg, Germany. Ragini‘s second book, Lions In Wait – a road to personal courage, is an allegorical trance book also focused on paradox and is of prime interest to spiritual seekers and a powerful support to therapists doing trance work with individual clients and groups.
Accompanying her written Paradox work are 2 series of Ericksonian Hypnosis Relaxation CD’s - Hypnosis for Conscious Awakening and Remembrance. These received critical acclaim from The New Times in Seattle, The Rapporter – journal of human performance technologies in Arizona, Anchor Point – NLP Journal in California, and an endorsement from Will Macdonald, co-author of Insider’s Guide To Submodalities.
Ragini’s pioneering work surfing the psycho-spiritual interface from a paradoxical perspective earned her invitations to present at National and International NLP Conferences in Utah, Idaho, Seattle, Denver and Phoenix, Hypnosis Conferences in Washington and California, and in varying cities throughout America, Europe, and India. An international bevy of students consistently comment on Ragini’s integrity and depth. Her warmth and humor allows the difficult concepts in the work to be explored and grasped in a playful, safe, and respectful manner. Her reputation as one who will deliver you to your goal is evidenced by her thriving private practice focused on Behavioral Change and Transformational Leadership.
