You are feeling very wealthy…

From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening or good morning, wherever you may be across this vast land. Tonight we delve into a story that seems to be plucked straight from the realms of the mind and the unexplained. In the bustling city of New York, where the skyscrapers reach for the stars and the streets are alive with the dreams of the ambitious, there’s a hypnotist by the name of Selena Valentine. Now, folks, picture this: the economy’s taken a nosedive, it’s in the gutter, but that’s not stopping the denizens of the Big Apple from opening their wallets, shelling out hundreds of dollars in the hopes of being entranced into prosperity.

Imagine, if you will, a room filled with the hopeful, the curious, the skeptics, all gathered on a Tuesday night in Midtown, seeking the “Millionaire Mindset.” One businessman among them, dressed for success, perhaps with a hint of desperation in his eyes, confides, “I told people what I was doing tonight and they think I’m crazy.” But he’s on a mission, a mission to instill in his clients the belief that they are still millionaires, despite the economic gloom.

As the sultry tones of Frank Sinatra’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” emanate from an iPod, Selena Valentine, a vision in her Louboutin pumps, instructs these professionals, who’ve paid a mere $20 for admission, to relax their way to riches. “Go on a journey to your inner self, your inner being,” she urges, her voice a siren’s call to the subconscious. “Just allow your inner you to relax. Allow your whole body to relax.”

Among the attendees is a financial adviser, Amal Gawle, 30, a man looking to gain a professional edge in the new year, to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of 2008’s financial meltdown. He’s dressed to impress, donning his “Donald Trump” suit, a sartorial armor against the slings and arrows of an unpredictable market.

And who is this enigmatic Selena Valentine? An author, a former anchor on the Web-based Naked News, she found her calling as a certified hypnotist after experiencing the transformative power of hypnosis herself. “My first hypnosis was instant and it changed my outlook on life,” she reveals. From darkness to light, her personal journey has led her to guide others, three clients a day, each seeking the alchemy of the mind that might turn their leaden fortunes to gold.

So, dear listeners, as we ponder the mysteries of the human psyche and the allure of wealth, we must ask ourselves: Can the power of suggestion truly unlock the secrets to financial success? Or are we simply chasing shadows in the dark, hoping to find a glimmer of gold? Stay with me, and together we’ll explore the depths of the unknown. This is not Art Bell, and you have been istening to an intriguing tale of hypnotic wealth in the city that never sleeps.
