What you do is controlled by your brain. The mind is in charge of the body. This is a simple concept that we all understand. When it comes to achieving goals however we can often be sidetracked into being concerned with external factors that we have little or no control over. Often people wanting to lose weight will blame their genetics, or their bone structure, or their hormones, or some other health factor that we have little control over. These are simply a distraction. In life we all have to work with what we have now</EM>, not how we wish things were. In fact, it is better to stop the 'blame game' entirely. Blaming ourselves, others, the world, etc. is most likely completely unproductive as well as draining and demotivating.</P><P>What is key is recognising that in order to achieve new goals we need to change our actions, and changing our actions can only be done by changing our mind.</P><P>Note that I am not just talking about changing what we think. Yes, this is important, but far more important is changing our subconscious drives. Our behaviour is directly driven by the emotional/subconscious mind. This fact was recognised by all the early psychiatrists and neurologists like Freud, Charcot and Jung.</P><P>Freud compared the mind to an iceberg with the smallest visible part compared to the conscious mind, and the deeper, larger, driving part of our mind being hidden beneath the surface.</P><P>Given that it is the subconscious mind that drives behaviour and that behavioural change is what is needed for new goals, how do we access that part of the mind?</P><P>Hypnosis. This is the key. Now hypnosis can be done formally with the help of a qualified hypnotherapist or you can use it yourself. There are several aspects of hypnosis that should be achieved:</P><P>1. Relaxation. This allows the 'critical facility' of the pre frontal cortex to be quietened. Slowing down the critical facility means that changes are more likely to be accepted into the deeper regions of the mind.</P><P>2. Visualisation/emotional recall. Purposefully triggering emotions or triggering visualisations that are connected with emotional states allows us to directly manipulate the emotional 'subconscious' mind.</P><P>3. Hypnotic suggestion. The best forms of suggestion, including hypnotic suggestion for weight loss, are done by a second party. Suggestions that are delievered by someone else are usually more effective than suggestions you give yourself. However autosuggestion (giving yourself suggestions) that you really can believe in is also effective.</P><P>Whether it is hypnosis for weight loss, hypnosis for depression, performance or motivation it doesn't really matter. Follow the simple steps below:</P><P>1. Relax in a comfortable position. It can be either sitting or lying. Then close your eyes.</P><P>2. Starting with your toes, clench and relax progressively every muscle group in your body until you reach the top of your head. As far as you can, focus on each muscle group. Especially notice the muscles in your abdomen.</P><P>3. As you release the muscles in your abdomen, take three slow deep breaths ensuring that your abdomen rises and falls. Do not breathe from your chest. This is the time to let it 'all hang out'.</P><P>4. Breathe normally and continue the relaxation process. Remember to clench and relax the shoulders, neck, upper arms, lower arms and hands.</P><P>5. Remember to relax the muscles of the face and jaw if necessary by clenching them first.</P><P>6. Mentally scan your body and re-relax any areas that you need to.</P><P>7. Introduce mental relaxation by imaging any worrying thoughts or nagging thoughts disappearing. You might like to image them floating away or disappearing into a mist or being breathed out with every out breath.</P><P>8. Visualise a favourite place. This can be a place from your memory or a place you can create in your imagination. It should be somewhere you feel relaxed and safe. Spend some time visualising each element that exists in this place - the floor, the walls, the view et cetera. Importantly also imagine the feeling of being there.</P><P>9. Recall the old feeling, the one you want to move away from. It could be a feeling of craving junk food, or it could be a feeling of dissatisfaction with a small meal, or it could be a feeling of anxiety that belies the secondary feelings. Think about what the feeling is that really drives your behaviours; then recall it. Just feel it for a few moments if you can, and now SWITCH as quickly as you can to a replacement feeling. The replacement feeling will be one of contentment, fullness, relaxation, achievement or success. Invoke a pleasant memory or imagined scenario to create the new emotion. Do this process a minimum of three times.</P><P>10. Recall any unhelpful 'old' thoughts. Replace them with a new, more helpful thoughts. For example replace 'It's OK to have one more' with 'I have the right to chose what I put in my body' or 'I am chosing to be in control'. Say the new thought to yourself and experience as much as possible the new feelings that are associated with this new, more balanced approach. You might imagine erasing the old thoughts by rubbing them off a chalk board. Do this a minimum of three times with each unhelpful thought you have identified.</P><P>11. Anchor the new feeling and thoughts by performing some movement like pressing together the thumb and forefinger. Alternatively you could pay extra attention to the relaxation in a specific part of your body. You could also recalling a piece of music or say a phrase in your mind that reminds you of this state.</P><P>12. Recall the old behaviour. Really imagine it as much as you can, like it was a scene on tv or a movie screen. Now imagine you had a rewind button. Hit rewind to get back to the beginning of the scene and then play events forward again, this time with the new behaviour. Again do this a minimum of three times.</P><P>13. Say to yourself 'this old problem is fading, every day I move further and further away from the old behaviours and old feeligns' 'I am creating a new destiny'.</P><P>14. When you are ready, gently come back to a normal state of awareness and open your eyes.</P><P>This whole process should take somewhere between about 10 and about 30 minutes.</P><P>When you have practised this a few times use the anchor that you created (the touch of the thumb and forefinger, or relaxation in part of your body or the phrase) whenever you need to feel and think the way that you planned. Make sure the thoughts and emotions are enough to overcome the situation; if they are not then you will need to practise the self hypnosis more often or get professional help.</P><P>I recommend that you practice this procedure around once a day for a week and then about once or twice a week until you are confident that the new thoughts, feelings and behaviour are firmly installed.</P><P>Changing your thoughts, feelings and actions through hypnosis is easy once you have practiced it a few times.</P><P>Best wishes in achieving your full potential!</P><P>To learn more about hypnosis for weight loss or hypnotherapy for anxiety, hypnotherapy for goal achievement or virtually anything else see the website: http://www.hypnosisparramatta.com.au/weight-loss-hypnosis-sydney/</P><br /><p><a href="http://EzineArticles.com/7731936" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248876253536954923.post-14827540466420398642013-05-31T02:00:00.000-07:002013-05-31T02:00:01.055-07:00Can Someone Really Hypnotize You? <P>There are three kinds of people when it comes to hypnosis:</P><P><B>1. The Believer </B>- they realize that hypnosis is powerful and willingly go into trance. There are some tell tale signs for a "Believer" personality and this is the kind of person a stage hypnotist would pick out of the audience.</P><P><B>2. The Realist </B>- they're unsure about hypnosis but are willing to give it a try. These people usually listen to a hypnotic induction and go under but don't realize what happened to them. It's up to someone else to point out what happened. They also usually only get hypnotized by experts. Not just anyone can hypnotize them.</P><P><B>3. The Cynic </B>- they're the ones who think this just isn't possible. It's a sham and phone baloney that only applies to people who are simpletons and naive about the way the world works.</P><P>Have you ever driven home and not remembered exactly how you got there? Did you go the usual route? Or did you take a shortcut? Hypnosis doesn't have to be a deep somnabulistic trance where a deep state of unconscious rest is achieved. It can happen rather naturally during normal conversation, driving and routine and repetitive events.</P><P>Hypnosis isn't necessarily about trance (although you will eventually learn how to put yourself into one with the Hypnotic Laws). Hypnosis is simply an altered state of mind. And it's a an altered state you've been in many times without even realizing it.</P><P>When it happened you were aware, you were conscious and you were also highly focused or feeling a sense of deep rapport (if it was with a member of the opposite sex it's called 'magic') with someone.</P><P>In this altered state your mind is simply open to accepting new beliefs. It's a turning point in your life and it happened because of forces outside of your control. Now it's your choice now to see if you want to enter into this altered state again and make some meaningful changes.</P><P>I'll tell you a story about a smoker (he happened to be my father). As kids we begged and pleaded with him to just stop smoking but he'd never listen. My mother would also beg him to stop smoking but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. The only concession he made to us was to smoke outside the house so the smoke didn't bother any of us.</P><P>He smoked from the age of 21 to 46!</P><P>After a quarter century of heavy smoking one day everything changed for him. We were at dinner and the waiter and he struck up a nice conversation (in psychological terms this would be referred to as "establishing rapport").</P><P>When my father spoke to the waiter I could tell he was taken in by this man. They were about the same age, same ethnicity and they oddly even had the same body language at times.</P><P>This man - who we knew for all of 15 mins - was intently talking to my father about things and noticed the pack of cigarettes. He looked at him and I'll never forget what he said:</P><P>"Sir, I'm sorry for being so forward but I noticed the cigarettes. They're the same brand my father smoked. He died three years ago of lung cancer. Again, I am sorry for being so forward...but you have a lovely family here. Please don't make the same mistake that he made. You don't want your children to feel what I've felt these past three years".</P><P>Guess what happened then?</P><P>Guess who just decided to stop smoking?</P><P>Guess who on that day, in that very moment throw away cigarettes and gave up smoking for the rest of his life?</P><P>You see, my Dad entered into that altered state. He wasn't in a deep trance and he was aware of his surroundings. He was intently focused on what this man said, he felt a real kinship with him and this man's words for whatever reasons just had a powerful impact on him.</P><P>What If You Can Create These Altered States On Demand?</P><P>You see, he managed to kick a life long addiction that had plagued him for 25 years in a moment. My father had tried quitting in the past. He was never a callous man. He always took what we said seriously and tried to please us but failed every time.</P><P>And then some hypnotic stranger in a restaurant changed his life forever.</P><P>Hypnotic Inductions are designed to create these altered states on your terms. You can be hypnotized and you can enter into a deep restful state of mind where new beliefs can be born deep within your mind.</P><P>Hypnosis is a naturally occurring phenomenon. With the right knowledge and tools you can control it.</P><P>Sanjay Kumar is the creator of the Hypnotic Laws a comprehensive collection of life changing brain wave entrainment and hypnotherapy albums.

It's been estimated that the average adult American gains several pounds during the holiday season. We all know the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." With a little preventative help from self hypnosis, you can fully enjoy the holidays and your favorite foods without overdoing it.</P><P>Self hypnosis is a simple, yet powerful means for programming your mind and body to behave differently. It gets past the resistant and critical self, and lets us speak directly to the subconscious mind, the part of us responsible for our habits and our appetites.</P><P>When self hypnosis is applied, it turns positive self talk into self empowerment. The same suggestions and affirmations employed while self hypnotized have many times the impact of those same suggestions would otherwise have.</P><P>Best of all, self hypnosis is fast and relaxing. You do not lose your awareness at any time and you can rouse and respond quickly if there's an emergency in your environment. While there are many ways to self hypnotize, and practice is required for mastery, here's an four step recipe.</P>Find a place where you won't be interrupted for about 20 minutes.Close your eyes and relax your body, one part at a time, starting with your head and working your way down to your toes.Silently count your breaths backward from one hundred, repeating the phrase "twice as relaxed" between each breath. Direct your mind to slow down with every number and breath.When you truly feel a profound sense of relaxation and mental stillness, you may then silently apply suggestions to change the way you eat and drink during the holidays.<P>Here's a mini-script you may use to get you started:</P><P>"I easily control what I eat and drink during the holiday season so that I can maintain my health and weight. By having smaller amounts, I enjoy each taste and each bite more fully. This enjoyment fills me more than the food and drink, so I discover I actually want less. Whenever I am offered food and drink at a holiday occasion, I become very aware of the choices in front of me. This awareness gives me great freedom to control what I eat and drink. And as I choose to eat and drink only small amounts, I feel a surge of self empowerment arise from within me. This great self control makes me feel more festive during the holidays than any amount of food or drink ever could, because I will enter the New Year cheerfully, feeling good about my body. By mindfully managing how much I eat and drink during the holidays, I have a lot to celebrate. Freedom, confidence and self control are the best gifts I could ever give myself this season. So I freely choose to confidently control what and how much I eat and drink during the holidays."</P><P>When you've delivered the suggestions to yourself, emerge from self hypnosis by counting up from one to five and telling yourself that when you reach the number five, your eyes will open and you'll emerge from hypnosis refreshed and alert.</P><P>Yes, it's that easy.</P><P>The hypnotic procedure and suggestions may be memorized, recorded or used with the "hypnosis as you read" method. It's recommended you perform the self hypnosis session once a day for three to seven consecutive days as the holiday season approaches. Then, reapply the day of any holiday occasion, such as a party.</P><P>By using self hypnosis to maintain control, you can easily overcome the temptation to indulge of the season. You will walk proudly into the coming year healthy, happy, and without extra pounds. Truly, that's something to celebrate!</P><P><B>Forbes Robbins Blair</B> is the author of three popular published self-hypnosis books: Instant Self-Hypnosis, More Instant Self Hypnosis and Self-Hypnosis Revolution.</P><P>You can receive his new free <B>Master Induction 2.0 pdf</B> by visiting his site right now.

"Know thyself", are two of the most important words you'll ever hear.</P><P>Supposing you become angry at something. Anything. I don't mean an insane, psychotic screaming rage, but something relatively small has made you angry. Will you remember it tomorrow? Certainly not next week.</P><P>If you happen to be very angry with a particular person and you tear into them, calling them names and generally insulting them, not only have you lost control, you've lost whatever friendship and respect they may have held for you. True, they may have done something pretty naughty, but think before savaging them.</P><P>For all you know, they may have had a perfectly good reason for what they did, which isn't apparent to you at the time.</P><P>Do you have emotional control? If not, then practice it. It's so necessary and so well worth the while to look before you leap. But we all 'let go' without thinking, don't we? The knack is to look past the immediate and into the future.</P><P>"If I do this, what effect is it going to have down the line?"</P><P>Just supposing you're watching TV one night and something comes up that really lights a fire under you. Right at that moment, your emotions are out of control, so sit back for a couple of minutes and ask yourself why. What's made you so mad, angry, sorrowful, happy, sad? By doing this, you're keeping your emotions under control.</P><P>All right, you may still be as mad as a snake, but you'll know why you're as mad as a snake and therefore more in control.</P><P>You may be at a party, and a particularly beautiful woman attaches herself to someone you really don't like very much.</P><P>"What in the name of goodness does she see in that jerk," is probably the first thing that goes through your mind. A friend sidles up to you.</P><P>"Jealous?" he asks.</P><P>"Eh? What me? Jealous? Rubbish," you reply. Anyway, you think to yourself, she'll soon find out what a worm he is. Now this is rationalizing. Be honest. You're damn jealous and that's all there is to it.</P><P>Another thing to remember is not to let your mood carry you. Supposing you're watching a long drawn out play on TV and frankly, you're bored to tears. Why not say;</P><P>"You know, I can write better than that."</P><P>Go and think of a story and try your hand. If writing isn't your thing, even a simple walk will make you feel better.</P><P>Another plan is if you come home from work after a difficult day, and you feel definitely out of sorts. Relax in your favourite chair and let your imagination take you somewhere nice. Amazing how much better you'll feel.</P><P>Hypnosis and Psychology are such vast subjects, but you'll learn a very great deal by clicking onto http://www.thehypnosisattraction.com/ which is Mike Bond's Website.

However, that is far from the truth. By the time you open your eyes in a morning your day has already been pre-determined. The day you are about to experience is based on whatever you were thinking about as you dropped off to sleep the previous night.</P><P>The period prior to sleep at night is the most important time of your day as the thoughts you think immediately before sleep can either make or break you. Whatever you are thinking about in this period of time is taken into sleep with you and then worked upon all night long by your subconscious mind while you sleep.</P><P>Up until this point you may not have noticed that your morning thoughts and those that flood into your mind when you awaken during the night are a continuation of the thoughts you took into sleep. Then the thoughts you entertain in that sleepy morning state are pre-determining your day.</P><P>The sleepy state that everyone enters at night prior to sleep is a natural hypnotic state as is the morning period of sleepiness before your eyes are opened. The evening state is called the hypnogogic state and the morning state the hypnopompic state. These are two naturally hypnotic states that all humans enter at least once every day prior to sleep and on awakening. In these periods of time the human mind is highly susceptible to suggestion. Some say that in this hypnotic state the mind is over one thousand times more inclined to accept as true any suggestions it is given than in a normal waking state.</P><P>In both of these periods your body is relaxed, your eyes are closed; your brain waves have slowed down from your normal waking beta brainwave state. You are experiencing an alpha level of consciousness akin to a deliberately induced hypnotic trance state.</P><P>While awake your subconscious mind is listening and responding to everything you say, hear and experience. Everything is being made sense of, catalogued, put into memory banks and acted upon all day long. When you drop off to sleep your conscious mind becomes unconscious and your constant mind chatter stops but this doesn't mean the subconscious sleeps.</P><P>It stays alert and carries on with the regeneration of your body. It carries on breathing for you, renewing skin cells, burning fat and digesting food. It also carries on working on the thoughts you took into sleep with you. Those last thoughts have absolutely no competition and they are worked on all night long. On awakening in the night and in the morning your thoughts are always a continuation of last night's thoughts and whatever you are thinking about in the sleepy hypnotic morning state is colouring and shaping your day.</P><P>Some people go to bed at night and as they lay down to sleep they go back through their day and think about all the things that went wrong. They think about the things they failed to get done; the messy house, the pile of work on their desk, the pile of ironing, the dirty car or the fact they didn't get to the gym. They think of all the things they did wrong; the overeating they indulged in, the chocolate they ate, the harsh words or the arguments. They go over their regrets and the things they feel guilty about and then they drop off to sleep.</P><P>When they awaken in the night the same thoughts immediately flood into their mind, sometimes keeping them awake for hours and when they awaken in the morning the same thing happens; it all floods back in. The day then proceeds in a very predictable way; it's a copy of the previous day; the house gets messier, the pile of work gets bigger and the worse it gets, the worse it gets. You've found yourself in the film, 'Groundhog Day' and it sometimes seems like there's no way out.</P><P>But take heart, there is a way out and the easiest way to change your life is to change what you think about before you go to sleep at night and to take into sleep the things you want to achieve. When you do this your deeper mind is working all night long on your dreams and aspirations and working on and finding a way for you to achieve whatever you've focused upon. You are your own hypnotist and a very good one at that. You hypnotise yourself every day so make sure you're hypnotising yourself positively and you're heading in the right direction.</P><P>Those who achieve the most in life are those who write lists of what they want to achieve for the following day, the week, the month or the year. When you write down what you want to achieve you are instructing your mind to take you there. Of course you could just as easily say or think what you are going to do but the memory is not as reliable as the written word. There is something about writing goals down that makes them more concrete and more achievable. You can talk about building your own home for years but it doesn't become a concrete thing until the architect (you) draws up the plans.</P><P>Taking the time to write down what you intend to achieve in the next day, the next week or any time in the future is the best thing you can do each evening. That way you are taking into sleep what you want to achieve and when you make the effort to do this on a daily basis your days will change beyond all recognition. At the very least you could make a decision to think positive things each evening as you lay down to sleep. Even a few minutes thinking uplifting thoughts and focussing on the things you want can and will work wonders.</P><P>This is the time to take yourself to the end of anything you want to achieve; to imagine it done and to imagine what you are saying to you now you've achieved it. Add in as many feelings as you can, imagine the joy, the jubilation or the relief, whichever is appropriate. Feel the smile on your face, the feelings of satisfaction and feel your chest swelling with pride if pride is fitting. Take those images and feelings into sleep with you and your deeper, subconscious mind will take you there.</P><P>If there's something puzzling you, something you would like to answer to or even something you would like more clarity on, the time prior to sleep is a good time to ask a solution based question about it. Let the question drop into your mind prior to sleep and tell yourself that when you awaken the answer will be there. This is a great free self hypnosis technique and one that really works.</P><P>I'm guessing that the majority of you automatically shower, wash your hair, clean your teeth and, if female, take make-up off at night before re-applying it every morning. The majority of us wouldn't dream of going to bed dirty or leaving the house without cleansing our bodies no matter how much time it takes. Just as you have developed habits of physical cleanliness you can develop an evening habit that cleanses your mind.</P><P>Your new evening routine will fill your mind full of positive clean energy and you'll wake up refreshed, full of good feelings and ready to start your day. You'll be clean inside and out and instead of just sparkling on the outside your light will shine from within too.</P><P>To Your Success & happiness</P><P>I work with people all over the world by phone.

Self-hypnosis does not mean a person sitting in trance without control of what they are doing or saying. Rather, it means being in full control of one's subconscious mind. Through self hypnosis techniques, one bypasses their conscious mind for the sake of re-programming their expectations as well as their inner belief system. When one works with their subconscious mind, they increase the possibilities of changing their lives positively.</P><P>Self hypnosis through various techniques can be of extreme benefit. One can attain sharper focus, beat addictions, improve relationships, improve health, and achieve success and so on. In fact, due to these benefits, major organizations and companies often make use of self-hypnosis to their employees to improve productivity. One of the best and most affordable ways for self-hypnosis is by use of binaural beats that work with brain frequencies to allow an individual to tap into their subconscious mind as well as working with different states of mind that have been altered. When one listens to bin-aural beats, the mind attains a high focus, which allows a person to respond to instructions quickly.</P><P>Naturally, the human mind has the ability to tune to positive aspects as it eliminates the negative ones. Effective use of bin-aural beats does not only bring excellent results, but these results are also long term. Furthermore, not only do bin-aural beats allow a person to achieve their goals, but they also help one to increase their memory, obtain sharper mind focus and to attain much higher self-confidence. Self-hypnosis using binaural beats can actually positively change the way a person approaches life.</P><P>In fact, bin-aural beats are believed to be the fastest and easiest way that one can use to achieve great success quickly. Note that this technique, which is one of the brainwave entrainment techniques that has been around for many years, has been scientifically proven. Therefore, there is no reason why a person should not use it to achieve success in their lives. Each person has certain goals they want to achieve, may it be a career, relationships, health and so on. By use of bin-aural beats as well as other brainwave entrainment techniques it becomes much easier to achieve these goals.</P><P>In addition to relaxation, listening to bin-aural beats enables a person to fall asleep quickly, in addition, to enjoy a deeper and restful sleep. Among other self hypnosis techniques, binaural beats are known to enable a person to reach very deep levels of meditation. This is because binaural beats help one to experience low brainwave frequencies, which are associated with high levels of consciousness and deeper meditation. Bin-aural beats also help in stress reduction as they are able to calm the mind and body. In addition, they allow one to think clearly thus enabling a person to deal with stress in a better way. There are certain frequencies that have been shown to help a person's body to heal quickly and to improve their immune system as well as ease pain. With these benefits in mind, there is no reason why the use of bin-aural beats should be left only to corporations and to athletes over other individuals.</P><P>Click Here to get your Free "Success Accelerator" Brainwave Cd today!

Could it be that easy to solve some of your long standing problems? The answer is yes. First you need to understand what hypnotherapy is. It is a totally natural state of mind. When doing hypnotherapy with a trained hypnotherapist you will feel very relaxed and peaceful. You might even wish that the session could last forever, it is so enjoyable!</P><P>Hypnotherapy has been widely misunderstood perhaps because of stage hypnosis. It is a form of entertainment and has nothing to do with hypnotherapy. There is a misconception that you might loose control, when in fact you are actually more in control and more focused! Hypnotherapy is a professional partnership between the hypnotherapist and the client. A person cannot be hypnotized unless he or she agrees and co-operates. <BR>Hypnotherapy is a valuable therapeutic tool for enhancing a client's self-awareness and helps them to assume responsibility for healing themselves as well as giving them the tools and skills they need to do so.</P><P>I find once clients understand hypnosis and are in this deeply relaxed state, they love being there because it is so enjoyable to bypass the conscious mind and go into that place of "inner creative absorption" that is so visual and interesting. Once you quiet the conscious mind and learn to visit your inner world you will find that you can access that part of you that is beyond your conscious awareness. It is like going in to the files of your computer where everything is stored and being able to access your dreams, your past memories, and even heal a wound. Your subconscious knows how to relax you deeply and helps you accomplish the goals you have set for yourself. It just needs direction! You need to tell it what you want so it can go about helping you. If you get in a car and just start driving but don't know where you want to go you most likely won't end up where you want to be.</P><P>Hypnosis is one of the quickest ways to get where you want to go and the most enjoyable that I know of, because all the while you are in a deeply relaxed state, the work is being done! You and your therapist go on an inner journey together and when things come up your therapist can guide you through it in a way that can help heal past traumas, wounds, addictions, whatever it is that you are struggling with. It is done in a gentle but very effective way. Usually in 4 to 5 sessions most of my clients find the relief they were looking for or resolve the problem that they came in with. That isn't to say that more work doesn't need to be done on their own; and scheduling a tune up once in awhile but that has been my experience.</P><P>Everything you have learned is stored in your subconscious. Take driving for example; you have already learned to drive so your driving skill is stored in your subconscious.</P><P>Once you back out of your driveway and maneuver out on to the highway your conscious mind is then free and begins to drift off because the knowledge for driving exists in your subconscious. You conscious mind daydreams or goes off into deep thought, allowing your subconscious to become more active. When your attention is needed to stop or change lanes then your conscious mind comes into play again. Driving is only one activity; you go in and out of trance many times a day. Whenever you do anything automatic, your conscious mind is diverted from your subconscious and you are more likely to go into a hypnotic state, such as the one described. Other examples of automatic states are when you are taking a shower, jogging or perhaps eating alone.</P><P>With simple hypnotic, relaxation techniques that your hypnotherapist guides you through; you can begin to visualize yourself becoming healthier, happier, more confident, lose weight, stop smoking or whatever it is that you want to do! When in that relaxed, trance state you are more receptive to suggestion.</P><P>Hypnotherapy works for most people but it isn't just a snapping of the fingers. The client has to do some of the work too. It depends a lot on how motivated you are to change. The Hypnotherapist will help you to do the change work in your mind and reframe old belief systems. You will also learn many new ways to deal with your issue, as well as have post hypnotic suggestions for when your old behavior surfaces. You may also have some homework and hypnosis recordings to take home and listen to on a nightly basis. It is a very enjoyable way to work with your issues!</P><P>David is the SEO Media executive for http://www.journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/.

If you are not aware of the following laws of the mind then you may end up creating the opposite of what you desire with your self hypnosis practice.</P><P>1. Every thought affects the body as well.</P><P>In other words, although the mind and the body are understood to be separate in practice it doesn't work that way. Mental stress can create knots in your back or even give you ulcers. Therefore, Be aware of your thinking. If you are negative all the time to yourself or about your surroundings it is the same as negative self hypnosis.</P><P>2. What you expect tends to be realized.</P><P>If you wake up telling yourself you will have a bad day you probably will. In other words your expectations drive your results. Negative expectations is the same as negative self hypnosis.</P><P>3. Imagination is stronger than knowledge.</P><P>You 'know' that ghosts and monsters do not exist. Yet hearing ghost stories at night will create fear. Especially if sitting around a campfire in a forest. There is no contest. Imagination will always win. Another point for the importance of positive thoughts and visualizations in your practice of self hypnosis.</P><P>4. What you resist the most stays with you.</P><P>Have you ever had to stop doing something and found that its more difficult than you realized? Maybe you have had occasion to go on a diet and suddenly foods that you couldn't have cared less about start looking very appetizing? Maybe there was/is someone who irritates you and you know there is no reason to. So you try to keep the irritation away but it gets to you even more?</P><P>I could go on and on with examples. Basically, when you resist something it tends to stick. This happens because when you resist you have to think of the very thing you are trying to resist, so it's continuously on your mind.</P><P>It's as if someone told you that they would give you a $1000 if you don't think of a pink elephant all day. I'm sure you don't spend your time thinking of something as random as a pink elephant. However, trying to resist that image of a pink elephant with a $1000 on the line would be impossible.</P><P>In other words, what you resist tends to stay with you. Which means that in focusing on an affirmation for self hypnosis you have to phrase the affirmation in the positive. I.e. affirm what you want to achieve and NOT on what you don't want.</P><P>Follow these four laws of the mind and your day to day thoughts will be more guided in a positive direction. Of course, your thoughts create your internal emotional states which is the same as self hypnosis. So you have to be aware of your thoughts to create the state of being that you desire.</P><br /><p><a href="http://EzineArticles.com/6785170" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248876253536954923.post-5444564015103361702013-05-23T12:47:00.000-07:002013-05-23T12:47:00.389-07:00How You Can You Find A Hypnotherapist? <P>Ever since there is a splurge of hypnotherapists, some people have started taking the profession for granted. There are many fake, unregistered hypnotherapy clinics run under unqualified personnel. Search for a qualified, reputed and licensed medical institution if you want to find a hypnotherapist.</P><P>Before you find a hypnotherapist, you must know the responsibilities and duties of a professional hypnotherapist and the main aim of this therapy and also you should know what is hypnosis. First, we will discuss how hypnotherapy benefits you. It helps you get the desired results relating to your habits that have become problems. For example, many people wish to control their habits like smoking, alcohol consumption etc. Hypnotherapy will help you rethink, reassess and transform the information and events that are stored in the brain.</P><P>A reputed hypnotherapist will help you reveal the maximum amount of information stored in your conscious or subconscious mind. She/he will do the following:</P>Ask you why you wish to have a change in your behavioral pattern. She/he will assess your readiness and determination for a positive and lasting change.Put you at comfort and help feel positive about experiencing a successful session.Help you focus on achieving desired results and streamline the benefits of achieving your goals.Explain your script and examine your vulnerability to "trance".Debrief you after your treatment.<P>Look out for license, insurance and certification of a hypnotherapist. This will ensure that you do not fall prey to a scam. The aforementioned points tell you the qualities of a professional therapist, so you can evaluate them yourself.</P><P>You can find therapists in classified sections of newspapers and also on the internet. Look out for customers' reviews on websites and social networking sites like Foursquare. If you are able to talk to a previous client of a therapist you believe is good, ask about the entire procedure. However, keep room for diverse experiences. Every patient has a unique case and requires different treatment.</P><P>Furthermore, specialization in a specific area is also a great indicator that the therapist has profound knowledge and is committed to his/her profession. Also, never go to hypnotherapists who are not eager to let you speak about your experiences, and instead treat you upon assumptions. Avoid the ones who ask for up-front money involving colossal amounts. Such professionals are more interested to multiply their wealth rather than the betterment of their clients' health.</P><P>For more about hypnosis training and find a hypnotherapist visit <B>mn-hypnosis.com</B></P><br /><p><a href="http://EzineArticles.com/7113662" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248876253536954923.post-6923239244024640522013-05-23T09:03:00.000-07:002013-05-23T09:03:00.184-07:00How to Lose Weight Permanently With Hypnosis <P>A very prominent issue regarding habits of childhood is obesity. Children are often forced to consume larger meals by their parents and teachers. Some children ignore it and consume only as per their hunger, while some children take undue advantage of these forceful attempts and become addicted to fatty and junk food.</P><P>This gives rise to childhood obesity, which continues until later in life when it transforms into a disease. Hypnosis is a great way to curb this bad habit and gain a healthy body. A lot of food products like chocolates, ice creams, sweets are consumed more due to a sense of satisfaction. People presume in their minds that they can curb depression and anxiety by eating such food. This is called "soul food" which makes you feel happy and satisfied.</P><P>Hypnosis helps your mind control the urge to binge on these food products. It withers away subconscious confrontation by contradicting subconscious patterns to bring in beneficial thoughts into the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapists strongly believe that hypnosis is the ultimate way for a person to take complete control of his/her habits.</P><P>The immediate aim of this therapy is to build a strong connection between the ultimate outcome and affirmative action in the subconscious of a person. Consequent and regular back up of this connection brings the "trance" and "reality" nearer until they finally come together. To put it succinctly, these connections help build new thoughts.</P><P>Any hypnotherapist can also record the entire course of your lose weight hypnosis treatment, so you can listen to it after a successful session. Repetition of mental exercises ensures that your problem is handled carefully and the new information is processed in your subconscious mind, turning it into a habit. Lose weight hypnosis deals with obesity issues in people of all ages. On the other hand, the best aspect of hypnosis is that it can make your mind get rid of obesity exponentially quicker than any other therapy.</P><P>It helps you disconnect your comfort with consuming more food by altering the part of memory where it was first created. The hypnotist creates an image in the mind of the person through glass dome. The level of anxiety reduces just as the glass dome goes down, and when it ends up, the anxiety level also goes away.</P><P>However, the success of this therapy solely depends upon the desire of the person. A person with stronger will and desire is more likely to recover sooner than a person who is forced to undergo the therapy.</P><P>For more about clinical hypnotherapist and medical hypnosis visit <B>mn-hypnosis.com</B></P><br /><p><a href="http://EzineArticles.com/7113698" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248876253536954923.post-86942201745072785632013-05-23T04:09:00.000-07:002013-05-23T04:09:00.372-07:00Hipknowsys: Kool Knowledge System - No Hype Hypnosis - Simpson Substitution <P>There are probably as many methods in hypnotherapy as there are individuals working in the field. Subtle though the differences may be, one thing is certain: the therapist must feel comfortable in her/his own skin if the client is to gain maximum benefit. It can take a while to find one's own niche; I was certified in 1982, and have coined something of a motto based on what I've found most helpful in the introductory stage: It's no fun unless it's fun!</EM> Word-play is a favorite, as evidenced by the title of this article, and as you may already know from my original songs. Humorous, helpful insights are everywhere, and, with apologies to all the highly skilled hypnotherapists around, with the word "hypnosis," (besides being Greek to me) how could a self-respecting word-play fan possibly resist tailoring it to a more comfortable fit? Not with those three juicy syllables! </EM></P><P><STRONG>Self-Hypnosis</STRONG></EM></P><P>Results are actually perception shifts, and must be consciously chosen before being committed to the automatic pilot that is the subconscious </EM>mind. Analogies (parables) and music are two very powerful tools in pleasant self-hypnosis. They are my purpose for writing and recording such music, and the intention in writing my two books, Sing Yourself a Miracle, </EM>and The Parable of the Stars. </EM></P><P><STRONG>Symptom Substitution?</STRONG></EM></P><P>Freud introduced the theory of Symptom Substitution, which contends that the alleviation of one symptom (such as an undesirable habit) will likely be replaced by another, which simply substitutes for the vanquished problem. Not a very fun idea, is it? Because of its negative underpinnings, together with Freud's inability to satisfactorily explain this phenomenon, the Symptom Substitution theory has been largely rejected in modern psychology. It isn't very helpful to say such a theory is true without being able to say why </EM>it is true, and this is where Freud fell short.</P><P><STRONG>Simpson Substitution</EM></STRONG></P><P>We will explore this further momentarily, but for now, let's try a new, heretofore unheard of, hopefully amusing approach: substituting Simpson</EM> Substitution for Freud's Symptom Substitution. In this</EM> concept we first consciously choose to identify with the Lisa </EM>Simpson personality if we suspect we have a bit too much "Bart" in us. Or-vice-versa-if we are fed up with emulating sweet little Lisa but can't seem to help ourselves. I've always had a little Bart in me, which I'm happy with, but wouldn't want any more than I have. A Homer makeover is not currently available, and please do not contact me if you are thinking of becoming an O.J. copy-cat.</P><P><STRONG>A Course in Miracles</EM></STRONG></P><P>Just as Buddhism (and now also Quantum Physics) teaches that the world is illusory, yet can't explain why we choose</EM> to live the illusion, so too did Freud's Symptom Substitution theory only raise further questions. In the 1960s Dr. Helen Schucman, a psychologist at Columbia Presbyterian University in NYC, working with her Department Head, Dr. William Thetford, began compiling a three-volume set of books titled A Course in Miracles, </EM>that would give very clear answers to why we choose to live an illusion, and, at the same time, the purpose which Freud's Symptom Substitution serves.</P><P><STRONG>Buddhist and Freud Riddles</EM></STRONG></P><P>Here is a quick clue-a personal example that gives an insight into both the Buddhist and Freud riddles: I was talking with a Catholic Priest about smoking; he told me that he always gives up smoking for Lent, but smoked the rest of the year. My reply was that he was getting it all backwards; he should smoke during Lent and give it up the rest of the year. Why would I say that? I think he didn't get it-perhaps later, if he thought about it, but not at that time. Another clue: what is the purpose for Lent in Catholicism? In that answer lies both the purpose for Symptom Substitution, which eluded Freud, himself, and also the reason Buddhism fails to give for choosing to live an illusion. Happy quantum leaps!</P><P>A certified hypnotherapist since 1982, John Beavin, along with his wife, Lainie, has also been facilitating A COURSE IN MIRACLES Classes in Glen Gardner, NJ since 1989, and has experienced much gain in internalizing the two simultaneously. He has authored two books, SING YOURSELF A MIRACLE, and THE PARABLE OF THE STARS, the latter now available at Amazon and other outlets, and has produced two original music albums.

Some people are unable to appreciate the simple things in life. They judge life according to black and white decisions, which makes them harder to please and rarely happy. This is the reason why some people develop behavioral problems that require the use of anti-depressants.</P><P>While anti-depressants work, depending on them in order to feel good is not healthy. It only renders a person helpless and because of that real progress is not achieved. Stop hypnosis procedures can be used to remove the hold of anti-depressant addiction and free a person from the prison of his negative thoughts. By turning to self-hypnosis and using positive affirmations, one can feel better and open up to life. Many positive things could happen by allowing positive thoughts to get inside the subconscious mind.</P><P>Curing the Need for Anti-depressants</P><P>Stop hypnosis scripts are needed to help a person become determined and motivated to stop using anti-depressants. Hypnosis sessions can help them figure out a way to realize that they can live a happy and meaningful life even without the anti-depressants. People who use anti-depressants live like zombies, they exist but they're not actually "living".</P><P>Solving Pornography Addiction</P><P>Pornography addiction can also be removed remove using stop hypnosis methods. Pornography addiction is a mental sickness that renders the affected person to be addicted to sex without real companionship. Men who get addicted to pornography have nowhere to go and have low self-esteem. Some of them may think that they would not be able to achieve this kind of intimacy in a relationship, causing them to turn to pornography for temporary gratification.</P><P>Self-hypnosis can help a person bring back their confidence. It helps them focus on positive images that could bring them back to the real world. Anything that is done in excess is bound to destroy. If one is unsuccessful in removing pornography addiction, they have to try using hypnosis scripts to remind them they are worthy to be loved. People do not need to watch pornography just to feel fulfilled. The same is true with issues regarding TV addiction.</P><P>TV addiction can make a person live life without zest. These people depend on their favorite reality shows and drama series to keep them going; it's all they look forward to. Not all kinds of shows are beneficial. Watching television all day is not a productive way to spend life. In order to get past this, one has to see how beautiful the real life can be. All they have to do is focus on the other areas of their life that they can improve. The same is true with helping kids and adults stay away from addiction to war games. Some people turn to this virtual world because they do not want to face life and solve their problems. By using stop hypnosis, they can find the power to face their life headstrong.</P><P>Tim Westhall is an expert on hypnosis.

At the end of its life it builds a nest of sweetly scented cinnamon twigs. As the bird lies down the nest bursts into flames consuming the Phoenix and turning the bird into ashes. The mythical bird then rises from the ashes, stronger and more beautiful than before. It is also said that the tears of the Phoenix heals and regenerates hurts and wounds, and is a symbol of fire, strength and divinity.</P><P>This story represents symbolic rebirth and resurrection. We all have an innate capacity for instigating self-change and renewal, which is the result of true emotional healing. Just as the Phoenix rises from the ashes, you too can rise from the emotional challenges and disappointments in life with new strength of purpose. The metaphor story of the Phoenix rising from the ashes not only symbolizes death and rebirth but also life-death-life experiences. Death of an old life, an old attitude or unwanted feelings, death of outdated limiting thinking patterns and behaviours into personal rebirth and renewal of the psyche or spirit.</P><P><STRONG>Conditioned Reality - Letting It Go </STRONG></P><P>Who you are and where you are today is the total sum of the choices you have made in the past, whether you made them consciously or unconsciously. Our beliefs and values are established early in life. Environmental, parental and social conditioning, together with life experiences have a major influence in how we think, how we feel and how we perceive our world. Your limiting thought patterns keeps the limiting beliefs alive by feeding them energy, and nothing can sabotage you as much as your own unwelcome or conflicting thoughts.</P><P>Our conscious everyday reality is ego based, it is the surface level of mind that requires instant gratification. Fear-based emotions feed the ego cutting us off from our higher self, cutting us off from our intuition.</P><P>To feel in control and balanced emotionally we need to understand and learn how to recognize, react and release emotions when we feel them, instead of keeping them bottled up or over reacting and regretting our behaviour later. For every negative thought or feeling an opposite exists, for example:</P>Fear - CourageAnxiety- CalmnessSelf-criticism - Self loveUncertainty - ConfidenceWeakness - StrengthSelf-Pity - Self respectImpatience - ToleranceRejection - AcceptanceDespair- HopeMisery - JoyApathy - PassionUncaring - Compassionate<P>When we start to live from our heart it has the effect of overcoming the ego. This allows you to enter into a whole new energy where you can flow within your world in balance and harmony within your self, and with others. We all have a beautiful light within but often this light is in a state of sleep, or hibernation. This results from constantly feeding the ego and not recognizing our spirit within. Debilitating negative thought patterns are highly destructive. Low self-esteem, feeling inadequate or unworthy means you are functioning from the lower mental plains, from your ego, and we are so much more than this.</P><P><STRONG>Ego Based Emotions</STRONG></P><P>We are all responsible for overcoming our ego based emotions, and when you choose to you can make the body-mind shift from what you believe is your reality to understanding that you are unwittingly co-creating it. This is the first step to changing your life for the better. Through the deepest form of human understand, which is love the light awakens and you can rise yourself to a place self-empowerment. This ability is within you; it's your birthright, are you ready to claim it?</P><P><STRONG>Precision Therapy - Self Hypnosis Wonderful For Emotional Healing</STRONG></P><P>Whatever happened to you in the past, wherever you find yourself now, you can start the amazing journey of positive change.

Fixing 'bad habits' can definitely be beneficial, but it does not really change you at a deep level.</P><P><STRONG>Starting the process of facing and overcoming your deepest fears, though, is a transformation that will stay with you for the rest of your life!</STRONG></P><P>One of the best know psychiatrists of the 20th century, Carl Jung, frequently spoke of the value of facing and accepting the shadow.</P><P>One of my first teachers, Glenn Morris (author of Path Notes of an American Ninja Master, a book on meditation), spoke of the personality as a series of masks. Beneath the masks are attitudes and emotions that we are afraid of. But beneath those lies the hidden brilliance of the True Self.</P><P>One of the best known Neuro Linguistic Programming (<STRONG>NLP</EM></STRONG>) trainers out of the UK, Jamie Smart, likes to describe humans as diamonds covered in crap, then covered in fingernail polish. If you chip away the surface personality, you will get to see all the crap. But if you chip away all the crap, the radiance of the diamond begins to shine.</P><P>All of this points toward the same thing. We all have emotions we do not like to accept are a part of us. Anger, greed, laziness, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony are not just a list of sins... they are also integral parts of the human personality. Most people can easily see this in some of their friends, or in people they do not like. The real question is, can you see it in yourself?</P><P>Assuming you are honest enough to answer 'yes' to that question, the next question tends to be:</P><P><STRONG>"What can I do about it?"</STRONG></EM></P><P>The answer is learn to properly apply self-hypnosis, to face and accept the lesser you (or the hidden you) that is essentially a vice machine. The really neat thing about this, is when you begin to accept these hidden aspects of yourself, they start to melt away from your personality. It's as if they only act up when they are being denied.</P><P><STRONG>"That which you resist, persists!"</EM> -Carl Jung</STRONG></P><P>Before I cover the process of self-hypnosis, I will spell out what tends to be the greatest of human fears.</P><P><STRONG>Most people secretly fear that they are exactly what they most hate in other people!</STRONG></P><P>And they are. We all are. It is part of the human condition. All the filthiest traits of humanity are a part of you and me at a very primal level. The only real way to manage and reduce this is to recognize and accept it. It is only after you do this that the beauty beneath the vice begins to be expressed.</P><P>Even more simply, this is likely just another variation on the fear of death. To accept that you have the same qualities as those which you villainize is equivalent to death for your ego.</P><P>Now for our exercise. Before you start, you will want to establish the fear or negative emotion you want to deal with, and what you might consider its opposite... the condition or state you would experience if the negative emotion were eliminated... for example, fear & love, sadness & joy, anger & peace, etc. If the process is too challenging or overwhelming at any point, it is alright to stop and continue at a later time. It is also advisable to ask for help from whatever higher power is appropriate for you (The Universe, The Tao, Buddha-Nature, God, Higher Intelligence, etc.) at any point in the process where you feel you need it.</P><P><STRONG>Disclaimer: Do not attempt this exercise if you are seeing a medical or psychiatric professional about your fear (or other negative emotions) without consulting with them first!</EM></STRONG></P><P><STRONG>How to face and overcome your deepest fears with Self-Hypnosis:</STRONG></P>Find a seated upright position, or a comfortably reclined position.Begin to breathe comfortably, deeply, and slowly, until you become deeply relaxed.Focus internally, and let go of any resistance within. Imagine you are relaxing your mind, emotions, and spirit.Bring up the negative emotion, and do your best to maintain the relaxation.Imagine the emotion as a wayward child returning home. Even as painful as it may be, do your best to accept it, and redirect it. Remember that negative emotions evolved in an attempt to be helpful.Notice that the more you accept it, the more you can see and experience the positive counterpart that lies underneath. As the negative emotion transforms, you see and feel the Beauty hidden within.As the positive emotion shines through, you can return it back to the world (you've taken in fear, faced it, and returned love. You've taken in anger, faced it, and returned peace).<P>Once you have finished the process, give yourself some time to relax, reflect, and feel good about the fact you have done something that around 95% of the population will never do.</P><P>With some of the deeply embedded emotions, you might have to practice a few time to really get it to come up. You will know when you have really fully faced the negative emotion. It will always seem different afterwards. You may still experience the negative emotion from time to time... but you will always maintain a certain awareness about the Beauty behind it, so it will never again affect you as it did before.</P><P>Godspeed on your journey!</P><P>Benjamin Langley has been studying meditation, self-hypnosis, energy work, and other healing methods for over 15 years, and he has written over 400 articles on these subjects, as well as numerous podcasts and videos.</P><P>If you want to learn a simple meditation system that will reduce stress and improve health in just minutes a day, go to http://PeacefulProsperity.com/Meditation-Techniques/ for more information.</P><br /><p><a href="http://EzineArticles.com/5993462" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248876253536954923.post-67365197076343268102013-05-22T11:37:00.000-07:002013-05-22T11:37:00.692-07:00How To Use Self Hypnosis For Better Health <P>The practice of self-hypnosis goes back to antiquity. It not only is a great therapeutic method it is also relaxing and calming and can help transform you into the person you want to be.</P><P>Self-hypnosis bears a resemblance to sleep but it is instead an altered state of consciousness. When the ability to monitor brain waves was invented researches found that the only difference between some on in a hypnotic trance and a normal state was the absence of higher frequency brain waves. While everyone experiences hypnosis a little differently some common experiences are a reduced awareness of things going on around them like noise and conversation and then there is the extreme relaxation and reduced awareness of their own body.</P><P>Self-hypnosis is a simple thing to learn and something that everyone can bring about. Self-hypnosis can help you in a variety of ways, it is good to lose weight and to stop smoking, it is good to eliminate many bad habits. It can enhance your ability to learn and help you gain confidence. It is safe and effective and here are some other benefits:</P>It is not a drug and has no side effects.It is non-invasive, no surgery and nothing gets put into the body.It is inexpensive and you can quickly see results.<P>Self-hypnosis operates on the link between your mind and your body. It can help change your behavior and your thoughts. You can use it to allow your mind to control your body. Self-hypnosis closely resembles the meditative state. This is not necessarily a relaxed state though that is the usual condition. Self-hypnosis can be used even when you are tense and unhappy.</P><P>After beginning to work with self-hypnosis you will quickly find the method that is best for you. While it is challenging to pick up self-hypnosis on your own many have done so. It is easier to go to a hypnotist to learn but it is not a requirement. You need to learn as much as you can about hypnosis so you understand what to expect.</P><P>Self hypnosis can be used to change many things about yourself from bad habits to physical conditions such as facilitating weight loss. Many people practice it on a regular basis and become better integrated individuals. Instead of habits pulling against the thing you want to accomplish, self-hypnosis causes your conscious and subconscious minds to work together for your greater good. Your subconscious will become your watch dog as it brings to your conscious mind important information that it is always gathering but which in most people is severed because the link has not been built.</P><P>Mike Griffin is a hypnosis expert.

Whether we act upon that information or not is a matter of individual choice. Some people are more health conscious than others. We have our own individual attitudes on the subject and prioritize complementary health accordingly.</P><P>Whether or not you are proactive in terms of promoting your own good health and wellbeing, I am sure that almost everyone would like to be fit, healthy and well. Like everything else in life you no doubt weigh up how you want to be versus the cost of achieving that goal. When I say cost I do not simply mean the financial implications; I am including time, taste, energy, effort and every other element involved.</P><P>When contemplating the cost versus reward equation it is inevitable that the majority of people end up actioning the things that seem the easiest to incorporate into his or her lifestyle. Many things that could be done to help boost your immune system end up getting overlooked or ignored, if only for the simple reason of lack of time to research what could be done.</P><P>One very simple thing that everyone could do to boost immune system functioning, at little or no cost in terms of time or of a financial nature, relates to how your mental processes affect your body. There is a constant two-way flow of information between your mind and your body.</P><P>The two are inexorably linked. Just as a physical ailment has the power to affect your mental and emotional equilibrium, the same applies in reverse. Your body reflects your thoughts. Thus a very simple thing that you could do is firstly to become alert to this fact and secondly to choose to intentionally direct your mind to promote good health in your physical body.</P><P>One very powerful thought that you could affirm to yourself upon a daily basis is that of turning up the thermostat that controls your immune system. You can in this way give your immune system a mental boost. This is incredibly simple to do and doesn't cost you anything at all. Although simple to do, this "treatment" has an incredibly powerful reach and the positive impact can be truly amazing.</P><P>This mental boost to your immune system can be made even more powerfully effective when used in conjunction with hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxation that at the same time allows access to your subconscious mind.</P><P>Your subconscious mind is the part that acts automatically and instinctively and you draw from this part of your mind every moment of the day and night without even being ware of it. To listen to a hypnosis recording that is designed to boost your immune system is again very simple to do. If you were to do this at night as you fall asleep it wouldn't take any time out of your day and would also most likely ensure a great night's sleep as well.</P><P>Roseanna Leaton, specialist in hypnosis mp3 downloads for health, including help to boost your immune system.</P><P>P.S.

This provides an easy and effective solution.</P><P>Some people however, do not like to take medication unless there is no other option available to them. Hence these people look around for alternative or complementary treatments and leave no stone unturned in their quest to find a natural treatment path.</P><P>When one has a physical symptom the instinctive tendency is to look for a physical antidote. Thus diet, exercise and vitamin supplements are the most traditional routes that people go down when seeking to help themselves naturally. That said, many do recognize that stress levels can impact upon blood pressure and this realization alerts them to look for methods of relaxation as well.</P><P>Hypnosis has been shown in medical research to be extremely effective as a method of relaxation and stress control. It has also been shown to lower high blood pressure.</P><P>Hypnosis is useful and effective in lowering and managing blood pressure for more than one reason. Firstly, it is a state of relaxation and this in itself aids a reduction in high blood pressure. Secondly, hypnosis can be effectively used to treat matters of stress.</P><P>Hypnosis allows access to your subconscious mind, which is the part of the mind where instinctive and automatic thoughts and behaviors are stored. Thus you can identify patterns of thought and reaction that result in a stress response and instigate alternative methods of coping. Without hypnosis this would be nowhere near as easily achieved.</P><P>There is also a third way in which hypnosis can help. Hypnotic suggestions can be utilized to stimulate a physical response of lowering blood pressure. Your mind works on your body in the same way as your body works upon your mind.</P><P>There is a constant interaction of information being carried backwards and forwards between your mind and your body. Thus suggestions can be made, whilst in hypnosis, to stimulate a physical reaction within your body.</P><P>And so for anyone who is seeking a natural approach to lowering blood pressure or in managing blood pressure hypnosis is a great complementary approach to this quest. It is natural and there are no negative side effects. Hypnosis is also easy to use simply by listening to a hypnosis mp3 download.</P><P>Roseanna Leaton, specialist in hypnosis mp3 downloads for health.</P><P>P.S.

In fact, they make you feel great. Endorphins are triggered naturally when you exercise or when you are exposed to the sun, amongst other things. They provide a mental and emotional sunburst, a feeling of well-being in your world.</P><P>Endorphins are things that you want to keep in a bottle and release when you feel in need of a lift. Most people do not appreciate that it is indeed possible to do this. It's quite simple really. Whenever you vividly imagine yourself to be in a situation that would normally trigger a release of endorphins, that imaginary situation will trigger the associated stored response.</P><P>You know how you feel when you watch a horror movie. Your imagination, as you watch the events unfold on screen, triggers the various emotional and physiological reactions associated with the scene. You can feel your breathing quicken, your heart begin to beat faster, your muscles tensing up and adrenalin begins to flow. It's an automatic response that interestingly is pretty difficult to stop.</P><P>Similarly, when you fall in love and you are in the first throws of falling helplessly in love, there are associated emotional and physiological responses that just happen. They are just there.</P><P>When you think of any situation that has an associated emotional attachment you find that the feeling of that emotion is triggered in response to the thought. The situation and its related emotion are embedded together in your mind. Thus as you recall the situation you also recall and re-experience the emotion.</P><P>And so you can see why I say that it is easy to bottle up some endorphins and then release them at will. All you need to do is to intentionally take advantage of the way in which your mind works and how your mind and body naturally interact.</P><P>This can be made even more effective with the help of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxation. It has no negative side effects and is easy to use simply by listening to a hypnosis mp3 download. The reason why hypnosis will increase the effectiveness of your intentional endorphin lift is due to the access hypnosis provides to your subconscious mind.</P><P>Your subconscious mind is the part that acts automatically and spontaneously. It is the part of your mind where deep-rooted automatic thoughts and behaviors are stored. Hypnosis also allows access to greater creativity as you tap into this part of your mind.</P><P>Thus with hypnosis you can add power to your visualizations and more deeply imagine situations that give you an endorphin burst. Not only that you can use post-hypnotic suggestions to embed the ability to trigger an endorphin release more easily and automatically. You really can bottle up your endorphins and release them at will. Hypnosis makes the process easier.</P><P>Roseanna Leaton, specialist in hypnosis mp3 downloads for health, happiness and well being.</P><P>P.S. Discover how you can focus your mind with hypnosis.

They tend to generalize hypnosis as something that magicians do as a trick. It's not surprising if some people think of it as a hoax. Contrary to popular notions, stop hypnosis methods can be used to cure a number of emotional, psychological, and physical problems such as addiction to cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine and obsessive compulsive behavior.</P><P>Stop hypnosis methods can also cure insomnia and help a person forget unwanted memories from a traumatic event. It lets a person move on after a break-up. It can also help abused children get past their unwanted childhood memories from abuse, rape and physical violence. More importantly, hypnotism can change a person's outlook in life.</P><P>How Hypnosis Tackles Deep Seated Issues</P><P>Sometimes a person does not understand why they are acting or feeling weird. Some people don't even understand why they feel depressed. All they know is something is lacking inside of them, but they cannot fill these voids because they don't even understand what it is. Hypnosis can help them go back to their suppressed memories, and understand the root cause of the problem. Using stop hypnosis, a person can determine why they feel the urge to use cigarettes or drugs to stay happy. It gets to the core of their mind and helps them understand what they really need to do. Hypnosis cures people of addictions by injecting positive affirmations and helping them realize that they need to change.</P><P>Constructing New Ways of Thinking</P><P>There are certain mindsets that have been embedded in our subconscious mind that have to be replaced because they are no longer able to provide us with a mature way to handle life. A good mindset helps make a person make the right decisions, without the interference of emotions. Changing bad habits and mindsets through hypnosis will certainly help a person's mind to move into a better path. One stop hypnosis session focused on smoking would be enough to remove the habit for some people. Some individuals would need 2 or more sessions if they have been using cigarettes for more than 10 years.</P><P>Curing Addiction and Breaking Free from Self-defeating Patterns</P><P>Stop hypnosis sessions can cure addictions and change bad habits. It works by helping a person realize the negative consequences of their habits, making them realize that they need to change. The stop hypnosis program works by manipulating the subconscious mind and planting ideas that will change the way a person behaves.</P><P>The sooner a person starts with the program, the higher chance experiencing improvements. After the program concludes, the person has to continue meditating to strengthen their resolve. Reading the negative effects of an addiction, such as smoking, can also strengthen a person's will to change and be cured.</P><P>Tim Westhall is an expert on hypnosis.

It happens to us whenever we play computer games and go to a cyber-world that feels almost real. This is why it should not be surprising to believe that hypnosis works. In the last decade, we have seen how it has emerged from a simple from a fictitious notion towards becoming a legitimate remedy used by doctors and psychologists to solve problems that affect people daily.</P><P>Self-hypnosis Information Guide <BR>Hypnosis has a number of uses. Not only is it effective to help you, it can also be used to reduce the need for smoking. It is now considered as a way to motivate people from all walks of life. It has helped people deal with stress and depression by enforcing positive attitudes and beliefs into their subconscious mind.</P><P>Can Hypnosis make You Do Anything that is Against Your Will? <BR>Contrary to popular beliefs depicted by the media, hypnosis can't make an individual do something that is against their will. Nobody can be hypnotized if they will not allow it. This is what we call a 100% consent state. In truth, hypnosis is a state where people are still aware of what they want to be doing.</P><P>Self-hypnosis information states that people will not go to sleep when they are hypnotized, unless they command themselves to be. If you already want to go out of the hypnosis, then all you need to do is will your mind to wake up. All normal people can be hypnotized. There are just some who have higher adrenaline levels, thus giving them a hard time to calm their mind.</P><P>How Long Will the Sessions Take? <BR>The process and number of sessions will depend on the amount of information that you want to get inside your mind. It also depends on the number of memories that you want to let go. More sessions are required for forgetting traumatic events. It takes passion and commitment, and a lot of repetition and discipline in order to achieve success.</P><P>Hypnosis can help a person minimize their stress. It can increase self-confidence, as well as motivate a person to achieve their goals. It can likewise increase sport performance and improve one's focus and memory. Self-Hypnosis information states that the process can help a person think positively in order to remove depression. It can remove fear and phobia and can help a person feel free and confident. In addition, it can help a person feel relaxed and in control of their life.</P><br /><p><a href="http://EzineArticles.com/6860065" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248876253536954923.post-33498561174686039242013-05-17T16:05:00.000-07:002013-05-17T16:05:00.506-07:00Increasing Number Of Hypnosis Clinical Trials <P>Doubters in the reality or efficacy of hypnosis should take heed of the increasing number of clinical trials involving hypnosis that are being carried out. The sheer fact that such research has somehow found a way in which to be funded speaks volumes in itself.</P><P>Medical research into hypnosis is never going to be funded by drug companies or similar types of major investors. Thus funding must come from other areas and is not so easy to come by.</P><P>A quick look at the US National Institutes of Health Clinical Trials webpage reveals details of 66 trials involving hypnosis. This is great news for those who are interested in holistic treatments as well as mainstream medicine.</P><P>There is inevitably a right time and place for different types of medical treatment. But for a treatment to be fully accepted and widely available it first has to prove itself through the process of unbiased research.</P><P>One great thing about hypnosis that makes it stand out is that it has no negative side effects and therefore the only risk to a person who employs it is confined to time and money. Medical scientists should therefore not find it difficult to locate sufficient numbers of willing volunteers for their clinical research studies.</P><P>An individual who does not want to spare sufficient time to volunteer as a research subject does also have the opportunity to conduct his or her own research. There are many hypnosis mp3 downloads readily available via the Internet. I would suggest that the use of these is approached with an open mind.</P><P>Hypnosis is no different from other medical treatments in that the more open minded and positive you are the better the outcome is likely to be. This does not mean that hypnosis is just a placebo. It is not. But the placebo affects the use of hypnosis as a medical treatment or adjunct in the same way as other treatments including that of drugs.</P><P>Roseanna Leaton, specialist in hypnosis mp3 downloads for health and well-being.</P><P>P.S.

This time around we'll explore why injecting "love" into your exercise program is essential to success.</P><P>I must simplify the issue and the reason most people lack success getting into shape is because they have to work out! To most, the routine of running, weight lifting or aerobics feel like a chore at best and at worst the 7th circle of Hell! Ask yourself this; if working out feels like punishment, why would any sane individual want to engage in such irrational activity? Yet every day we see people sweating in the gym or dragging themselves out at midnight to run miles in the blistering cold. Why is this? Is it because these people are insane? In most cases the answer is, "No!" but still, most Americans will end up sitting on their couch watching TV than exercise. Why? It's because subconsciously their brains view working out as an undesirable activity.</P><P>The reasons behind this are numerous but let's focus on just a few. One of the most debilitating justifications for "not liking" exercise is routines are too difficult. Your body is not ready for the kind of exertion you're putting it through. You should never finish a workout and never want to do it again because it is much too easy to become distracted and find excuses not to. If you're doing something you don't enjoy, it won't interest you and if you're not interested in it, no matter how good your intentions, eventually you'll quit. Your brain is designed to minimize effort. The effort of most workouts tends to be perceived by the brain as pain and pain is perceived as threat. Your mind will always make the attempt to protect you from threatening situations unless there's a more attractive reward to be gained. So the "trick" is to override your brain's natural response.</P><P>There are hundreds of ways to achieve this, from self-hypnosis or just simply lying to yourself but eventually if you don't create a habit out of your routine these methods will fail as well. The most effective way to achieve your fitness goals is to truly love your workout. OK, I know what you're saying, "How can I love something I hate?" But there are ways and here are a few.</P><P>Listen to music, easy right? But it works! Put on some energetic tunes and rock out your workout! Or if you want to accomplish something, download an educational pod cast. Tell yourself out loud, you love your workout. Smile while you exercise. Your body will react to the physical stimulus your brain's feeding it. Wear clothes you perceive as "cool". You'll be surprised how your body reacts to putting on a workout outfit that you like. Talk about your workouts. It's good motivation for you and can serve as inspiration for others. Schedule challenging activities you enjoy that you know will hurt if you don't get prepared for it like skiing, running a 10 K or joining a sports team. These activities dangle a carrot in front of you and help motivate you through difficult workouts. Hold off on a purchase or a trip that you've been looking forward to until a specific mile stone is achieved.</P><P>There's also the effect that the health benefits of working out can provide you. It's a bad idea to focus on gaining muscle or losing fat because these goals can take time, throwing you off your focus. But the great sleep you'll get after a hard workout or the improved mental attitude you can end up with can be great things to focus on rather than the reduction in cholesterol, the heart health or the lower risk of diabetes. Remember, start off slow, or change your routine and make it fun. Any exercise you do will add up, so it doesn't always have to be something grueling. Playing soccer, basketball or swimming can do you just as much good and keep you from losing interest.</P><P>For More Information Please Go To: http://www.fitnesskeys4u.com/ There you will receive a Free Health Chart.</P><br /><p><a href="http://EzineArticles.com/7298232" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">View the original article here</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6248876253536954923.post-12115056381812543982013-05-15T23:11:00.000-07:002013-05-15T23:11:00.403-07:00How Powerful Is The Unconscious Mind? <P>Did you know there are two of you? Two of me? Two of old Fred Bloggs down the street? Oh yes, there are, but it's all in the mind. Or more accurately, our conscious and unconscious minds.</P><P>The person who always likes to be in control of everything, tends to use the wrong part of his or her mind. People like this often find it difficult to sleep, being happy at parties or organizing office meetings. In fact, they can be very difficult at the latter. They not only want to control themselves, but everyone else around them.</P><P>Basically, they find themselves unable to relax. Even sexually they can have a difficult time, because to them, they're losing control. They must control their partner and not allow their other half to give them the pleasure that could so easily be enjoyed by them.</P><P>Now there are lots of things that happen in your body over which we have no control whatever. More accurately, perhaps, we simply never think about them. Our digestive system, flow of blood and all the workings of our bodies about which we never think -- unless something goes wrong.</P><P>But all this is governed by our unconscious mind. You'd probably drive yourself mad were you to try to govern these consciously.</P><P>So how powerful is the unconscious mind? What are its limits? You are able to lower or raise your blood pressure. Not through your conscious mind, of course, but by gently appealing to your unconscious. Hypnosis can lower or raise blood pressure, as we've just seen.</P><P>You may feel your feet becoming warmer or colder, and you'll find yourself relaxing more and more.</P><P>Pain is another thing that can be turned off by your unconscious mind through hypnosis. Don't forget it is the unconscious mind to which you're appealing now. Let's consider one of the most common forms of pain, the headache.</P><P>You can lie down and allow your conscious mind to wander where it will. It's the unconscious part of your mind that's in the spotlight now.</P><P>Think of your headache as a ball of fire, if you like, or should it be a dull ache, then as a heavy weight. Let's say a heavy weight. You lie down, and there it is, throbbing away, your conscious mind saying;</P><P>"I wish you'd get rid of this wretched headache."</P><P>But here your unconscious creeps in. You imagine the weight as a lump of cast iron, but slowly it changes to aluminium. The pain will tend to decrease. From aluminium, it becomes a piece of wood, then some feathers.</P><P>Like most things that you try for the first time, you may well have trouble ridding yourself of the headache. Do not give up. The more you practice, the easier and more fluent it becomes. I fear it's human nature all too often to simply say;</P><P>"Oh, that didn't work. What's the point? That man was talking rubbish."</P><P>As a rather silly analogy, suppose you started eating for the first time and something stuck in your throat.</P><P>"What's the point," you'd say.</P><P>But you'd end up in terrible trouble if you no longer ate!</P><P>Hypnosis and Psychology are such vast subjects, but you'll learn a very great deal by clicking onto http://www.thehypnosisattraction.com/ which is Mike Bond's Website.
