Releasing Anger Using Hypnosis

Releasing Anger Using Hypnosis

As a human being you experience two emotions that can control who you are and what you choose to do.  These emotions are love and fear.

Anger is the manifestation of fear.  It has been described by some as if there is a demon inside them that is raging to surface and dominate.  In reality they know who they are but deep down within lying dormant is a dark evil force just waiting to erupt.  Where does this "force" come from? There can be several reasons.  One of the most common is worthiness. Without the feeling of worth they live their life through a combination of scarcity and fear.  When fear grips us, we subconsciously seek safety no matter how we get it. This safety for some is achieved through venting anger.  When you learn to trust yourself, the anger disappears.

Anger can serve a purpose for some. Anger can keep people at bay, and transfer the fear onto others. It can also produce a sense of control which of course is an illusion. Venting anger is an attempt to not appear vulnerable, because to the ego vulnerability equals weakness. If a person believes they are weak they believe this perceived weakness makes them lose control. When we learn to trust ourselves we have no need for anger, as then it serves no purpose.

Until our perception of situations that cause the anger change, it will remain eating away at us until physical illnesses manifest.  These illnesses work from the inside out so our body will slowly begin to shut down in one form or another.  Because these illnesses begin as stress and stress is 95% of our health related issues, we will not physically see anything wrong.

But working behind the scenes in your body is an acid travelling around in your veins infecting every cell you have. It's not noticed, when it is noticed it's too late. Not like a physical injury where we see it and immediately tend to it. Anger poisons our emotions and rots our soul. It spreads like an infection and needs to be healed before any permanent damage is done.

By using hypnosis, anger can be dealt with by exploring the subconscious mind, where it started.  The hypnotherapist may use a technique called hypno-analysis to get to the root cause and once and for all resolve the issues causing the anger. What you think you may be angry about isn't usually the real reason. External circumstances bringing out the anger within you, but the root cause is buried in your subconscious. By going to the subconscious mind, you can find and disolve the anger forever, enabling you to recapture the feelings and emotions involved in self trust. resulting in you learning to trust yourself again.

We owe it to ourselves and those around us to deal with our anger and one of the easiest ways is  Hypnosis. It is non invasive and conducted in a relaxed environment, you will learn coping and relaxation strategies that can be used anytime and anywhere, bringing you relief every day of your life.

Lose Weight With Hypnotherapy

Are you considering using hypnotherapy to lose weight? Many great things have been said about weight loss with hypnotherapy, so the question is, does weight loss hypnotherapy really work?

Hypnotherapy is used to change your attitude towards food to a more healthier option.  Many people have used hypnotherapy to quit smoking so its only natural to believe that losing weight with hypnotherapy will work in a similar way.  People have often misunderstood hypnotherapy and believe  that as soon as they have completed their treatment they will immediately start to eat fruit and vegetables instead of sweets , chocolate and crisps.  While this will be the case for some, for many others it may be different.

Hypnotherapy for weight loss was introduced around the same time that people started to use it to quit smoking.  There are proven cases where hypnotherapy was used to help people stop bad habits, so if you are seriously thinking about, and need to lose weight you may want to consider some hypnotherapy treatment.

In recent years hypnotherapy has been used as an effective way to lose weight.  Case studies have included an average women who lost 20 pounds in 4 weeks with almost no effort at all, to the obese women who lost an astounding 80 pounds from just using these hypnotic techniques taught to her during therapy sessions.

Hypnotherapy works by giving the subconscious mind suggestions.  These suggestions can range from making certain foods appear undesirable, to suggesting to your boy's self image that you really are a slim person.
While weight hypnotherapy is an ideal way to lose the pounds, many hypnotherapists don't preach it to be the be all and end all.  Effective weight loss using hypnotherapy is best when taken together with a suitable diet, an ample amount of water to avoid dehydration, regular exercise and rest.

 Although hypnotherapy is an excellent method to use to lose weight, indulging in that extra sweet after every meal isn't going to help.  Fortunately, hypnotherapy can help reinforce that unwanted behavior pattern as well.  infact clients of hypnotherapy have often reported that things "just fall into place".  Their eating patterns have naturally changed into a much healthier option, without all the mental struggling they have encountered in the past.

To start yourself off, contact your local hypnotherapist and request an introductory session about weight loss.  The therapist will tailor the treatment to your needs, diet, and habits. For example, if you've tried other diets but constantly found yourself quitting or failing halfway through, this may be something that the hypnotherapist could address and a solution would be worked on. Another example would be if you're constantly tempted by a specific kind of food, the therapist could tailor your sessions to tackling that habit - In general you can expect permanent weight loss results by about 2 months of once a week visits.

If you find the cost of going to a hypnotherapist in person is too expensive, weight loss by the method of listening to self- hypnosis CDs may be a cost-effective option. These recordings are designed to subconsciously help you lose weight. They can not only be vocal, but also have a hypnotic background designed to put you into trance.

Boost Your Exam Scores With Subconscious Mind Power

Taking exams can be an anxious and difficult time in your life. But by using mind training exercises, you can easily increase your exam scores in a very short space of time. By harnessing your subconscious mind power, your ability to remember any piece of information, no matter how obscure or how difficult it may seem will naturally increase.

Exams seem so incredibly difficult for some because when you take them you are always under a severe time restriction. Restrictions create and increase stress, and stress is the worse possible thing for both learning and recallation of learned knowledge. The thing to do is to eliminate the stress, so the information you need to know is easily recalled.

This can be easily achieved by using simple, mind training exercises. The reason stress is felt is because you are consciously aware of the time restrictions of the exam, resulting in you imagining the worst possible outcome, creating even more stress. This builds a never ending loop of frustration with seemingly no escape.

But what if a friend told you that you only had five minutes to make them a cup of coffee?  What about fifteen minutes to wash an item of clothing? Why would these tasks appear to be so simple to you?  Because you know, really and truly know that you are capable of doing these things.

After you have convinced your subconscious mind that remembering information on an exam or a test is as easy as saying A B C, then you will experience a natural flow of information and knowledge into your conscious awareness, resulting in exam or test success.

Think of positive statements that you would use to describe an exam taking "superstar". Then simply state them in the first person, and in the present tense. Here are some examples to get you started:

I have a fantastic memory.  I remember things easily.  I  am always relaxed during exams. I am always the first one to finish my exam. I always score high in my exams. Taking exams is easy and natural for me. Scoring high on exams is easy and natural for me.

Practice these statements until they seem natural to you. When you repeat these affirmations to yourself, try to be as relaxed and as sleepy as possible. In this relaxed, sleepy state which is close to drifting off into a dreamy slumber, your subconscious mind is open and receptive to suggestions. The ideal time to practice this is just before you fall asleep at night. By repeating these statements as you drift off to sleep, your subconscious mind will be powerfully reprogrammed.

It's important to have strong feelings of gratitude and appreciation as you state your affirmations, say them as if they are already true. This may feel quite odd at first, especially if you aren't very good at taking exams right now, but it does get easier with practice. With sufficient consistency, strong emotions and saying these while you are in that sleepy, drowsy state, your exam scores will dramatically improve in a very short amount of time.

Relieving Exam Nerves With Hypnotherapy

Searching for Perfection Assures Failure

Using hypnotherapy to relieve exam nerves can have unusual results. For example, 22-year-old David was making himself physically sick with worry over an up coming veterinary examination.

He believed that if he did not succeed in the exam his future would be ruined. He had to succeed, if not he could not enter into a career of his chosen field as a veterinary surgeon.

Experiencing physical symptoms of upset stomach, land headaches caused by lack of sleep, David was harnessing depressing thoughts of failure, both in his exam and his whole life.  Only a top grade would be acceptable.

It is clear that David had set himself up for a drastic failure because people who feel they must reach a state of perfection guarantee themselves disappointment and failure because well hold imperfections.

David had not consciously sought out the therapist to change his attitude to failure. he requested hypnotherapy as a means of support through this difficult time of his up coming exam.

Positive Hypnotic Suggestions

Utilizing imagery and positive suggestions from the hypnotherapist David imagined:

* himself studying positively
* recalling all the necessary information during the exam,
* resulting in gaining a first class honors in veterinary surgery.

With David's co-operation the hypnotherapist reinforced what he already knew about himself: that he was highly intelligent and very capable of succeeding in his field. The session was enjoyable for him and left him feeling calm, relaxed and optimistic.  Days later, David took the exam and failed.

Hypnotherapy Can Help To Change Attitudes

But the good news being is that the hypnotherapy had released him from his catastrophic thinking.

So he didn't pass. He did his best, he felt good about himself, and that is what is most important. So what if he didn't go into veterinary practice  He could find something else as a career, and it felt so good to him be able to accept that it is O.K. not to receive an A.

Some people are not as optimistic as David. They would only be satisfied  if hypnotherapy had helped them to pass the exam they dreaded.  Just like Michael. He had failed his physics exam twice but was determined to pass it. Unlike David, Michael wanted to understand why he had failed.

Uncovering the Cause of Fear Using Hypnoanalysis

The hypnotherapist used a technique called hypnoanalysis. This technique pinpoints the origin of a fear while the client is in hypnosis. The method used with Michael was to just to relax him into hypnosis to bring on feeling the fear. Once Michael indicated that he was re-experiencing the fear the hypnotherapist counts rapidly to three after saying "allow the feeling fear to increase stronger and stronger as I count to three"

The next instruction  following the word "three" - was to "go  to the first time you felt that fear."

Following this instruction Michael recalled an incident when he was eight years old and his teacher had harshly scolded him for for his poor result  in a spelling exam in school. The teacher made fun of Michael in front of his fellow classmates.

Healing Mixed Emotions with Hypnotherapy

During the hypnoanalysis it became perfectly clear that Michael's fear of exams stemmed from  repeated terror during his school days that he could never please his teacher. Even more significant was Michael's reluctance as an adult to out class  his teacher. Below his level of conscious awareness  Michael harboured  anger at his teacher for the humiliation that was  inflicted upon him as a child, this anger was unacknowledged because it aroused more guilt in him that he could handle.

The childhood incidents (which there were many) and the mixed emotions of the adult Michael  (he  as well being angry with his teacher, he admired him as well) were dealt with in hypnotherapy.

The hypnotherapist then turned Michaels  focus on the exams. When asked what grade he wanted to achieve Michael thought and stated that "65% would be a good result."

Imaginative Use of Hypnosis for Success

"All this is in your imagination, Michael, " the hypnotherapist said, "so why wouldn't you go for 80% or even 90%?

Michael aimed for 95%. The hypnotherapist relaxed Michael into hypnosis then made positive suggestions that he would achieve this result, some of the suggestion being:

* understanding what he was studying,
* absorb the information, and
* be able to easily recall it.

The hypnotherapist in addition encouraged Michael to imagine himself receiving his physics degree, working in a prestigious laboratory and  being successful in his chosen field.

The secret to success in using hypnotherapy to relieve nerves about taking exams is to be relaxed both while preparing for and actually taking the exam.
One of the ways to be relaxed that Michael learned from the hypnotherapist, is to be unconcerned about the outcome. This paradox served Michael's needs well as he went on to achieve 98% pass.

He enjoyed the hypnotherapy sessions and learned how to utilise hypnotherapy to relieve his exam nerves.

Using Hypnosis To Eliminate Pain

Many people suffer chronic pain, pain is part of the human condition and even if it is not on-going everyone has headaches, dental procedures, and other forms of pain. The good news is you don't have to always rely on drugs to deal with the pain. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis have been used far back into antiquity to control pain.
Everyone Needs Pain Control At Some Time In Their Lives
75% to 80% of all adults, at some point, will have lower back pain from strains or other injuries. Millions more suffer from arthritic pain, and still more millions have chronic headache. Not to mention those who suffer pain involved in surgery and still others who suffer the pain of debilitating or terminal illness.
This pain will be either of short duration such as recovering from a surgical procedure or a broken bone or longer term chronic pain such as pain associated with cancer. Most people deal with the pain using drugs and doctors are very willing to write prescriptions for pain killers. This is at best a temporary solution, using pain killers in any other way can lead to addiction and dependence. The sad part is very few people understand that there is a drug free alternative, hypnosis.
How Effective Is Hypnosis In Dealing With Pain?
Hypnosis has been used to treat all of the forms of pain mentioned above. In Studies, even patients with severe pain as with advanced stages of cancer require fewer pain killers to control the pain. This allows them to have greater comfort and none of the anxiety of the drugs. Less severe pain can often be completely controlled by hypnosis.
Hypnosis also helps in an area that you wouldn't think about. It reduces the nausea and vomiting in patents undergoing chemotherapy.
With short term pain the best approach seems to be using hypnotic suggestions that focus on anxiety reduction and lowering the importance of pain. In the case of chronic, long term pain, it works best to confront the pain directly. In this case the hypnotist should deal with both the physical and psychological effects of the pain.
Hypnosis is also of great help with patients undergoing surgery. Hypnosis can be used both before and after the operation. In some cases operation have been done with only hypnosis for pain control. When hypnosis is used in an operation it reduces nausea and it increases the speed of recovery. This thereby reduces the length of the hospital stay and therefore lowers the hospital cost. Also there are no side effects of using hypnosis, it does not require increasing dosages that lead to drug dependence, hypnosis retains its pain control ability. With drugs, the pain control might go on for years at an ever mounting cost. Whereas, learning hypnosis is a one time expense and the procedure is learned and can be used at no additional cost to the patient while reducing or completely freeing themselves of pain.
Does hypnosis always work?
Using hypnosis for pain control can help everyone at least some. Depending on the patients susceptibility to hypnosis and their ability to relax they will achieve greater or lesser results. There will be those who find complete relief from their pain, those with a significant decrease in their pain, those which will get an initial reduction but need to have the treatment reinforced, those with intermittent relief, and finally those who still experience pain but have only a 10 to 30% reduction.
Hypnosis is a second to none pain control method, however no method, hypnosis or drug, is effective all the time. Yet, hypnosis has proven it's ability to reduce or eliminate all types of pain and it does this magic without side effects.

Common Symptoms of Stress That You May Be Experiencing

More often than not, stress has a way of creeping up on people and they don't even realise it's there untill it's vert severe. The main problem to overcome with stress is the diversity of both the symptoms and reactions of people with those symptoms. Learning to recognise the symptoms sooner will lead to getting effective treatment even faster. keep reading to learn about common symptoms of stress so you can identify them.

If you let stress have an impact on your eating habits, it can cause you to either lose or gain weight. If you feel too tense to eat, you may be skipping meals, and this isn't a good way to lose weight, as you could be missing out on necessary nutrients. Some people also develop eating disorders that are stress - related, and these can also cause an unnatural reduction in weight. Eating the wrong types of food can cause you to gain weight, just as easy as overeating. Emotional eating is one of the symptoms of stress and it can be dangerous. Doing this on a regular basis is a leading cause of obesity and makes it difficult to cut back those calories. By managing your stress you should be able to take steps to manage your eating habits. Unfortunately, you are not the only one suffering fr4om the effects of your uncontrolled stress because your family and friends are also affected especially in your personal and professional dealings with them. Your temper can also be intolerant of others so much so that being rude has now become a part of your daily life. Stress adversely impacts on the way we react to situations like big arguments over small matters, road rage over trivial traffic infractions and extreme frustration over irrelevent issues. Your personal and professional relationships suffer to the point of irreparability, which enphasizes the necessity to find ways to control your stress to manageable levels.

Stress can make you think you are having other serious medical conditions when you're really not. Some symptoms of stress such as difficulty in breathing, lightheadedness and chest pains are indicative of a panic attack brought on by stress. of course, if you or someone around you has symptoms like this, it's important to have it checked out medically to rule out a physical cause. There are several treatments available for stress related heart attack symptoms so you will need to seek out medical help if you are having any of these symptoms. If you know you suffer from panic attacks or other symptoms such as those above you can with the help of your physician learn to manage your stress and keep these symptoms to a minimum.

The symptoms of stress are never pleasant. Positive changes can happen if you are more aware of the things in your life that cause you stress. Stress can make life bad in many ways, but finding ways to prevent it will help you improve the quality of life.

Cure Insomnia By Relaxation

Insomnia cures by relaxation have been popular since before man invented fire. We can trace them back, certainly in the case of China, for many thousands of years. It has only been in the last few years that we have been able to confirm the efficiency or otherwise of the Insomnia cure by relaxation..

Insomnia itself is a pernicious affliction bringing with it misery and despondancy. Many sufferers of Insomnia and other sleep disorders lay there night after night staring into the dark checking the alarm clock every five minutes and worrying about the effects of the sleep loss on their performance during the coming day. Getting more and more tense and finding relaxation ever more difficult.

How can we use relaxation to help to cure Insomnia? One of the first stops for the sufferer looking to cure Insomnia by relaxation or any other way is the doctors surgery. This is an excellent idea as a physical check-up will reveal wether or not there is a physical reason for the Insomnia or just the need to relax. The drawback is that if the doctor finds no physical reason for the insomnia he is likely to reach for his prescription pad.

The drawbacks here are well known. Unbeliveably simply to cure Insomnia you could also suffer addiction, morning headaches, daytime fatigue, personality changes, memory impairment, impaired concentration, poor judgment, mood disturbances, and in extreme cases irregular heartbeat, and high blood pressure. The list goes on and on. A safer Insomnia cure may well lie in the direction of learning relaxation, a more natural rememdy. This is the reason why drug companies can afford large scale advertising such as TV ads and big internet ad campaigns. They know if they can get a hold of you once, they will trap you and continue to make money off you for years to come. Their mission is to program you. Whenever you have sleep problems, they want you to think about their products.

Used to cure Insomnia and many other ailments for thousands of years relaxation techniques are becoming more and more popular with main stream health care professionals to cure Insomnia. As a cure for Insomnia you need to practice relaxation regulary, notice the experience of the sounds of the simple things in life.

Look into what causes your need for relaxation. When you discover the ways to treat stress, you can look for ways to relax and avoid these stress creators.

Plan to cure your insomnia - You need to consider the timing of your relaxation. It should be daily. Perhaps a weekend is better suited to a night out so that you don't have to wake early the next morning for work or during the night for the bathroom.

Try relaxing music. Keep your favorite relaxation CD at the office, in the car, or wherever you'll need it most. certainly by the bedside.

Walk a while. if you have at least ten minutes to spare, walking is one of the best relaxation techniques. Pounding the streets or woodland paths is an excellent way of getting rid of frustrations, relaxing, and ultimately, when gently tired you can think much more productively.

Exercise - Find a form of exercise you will enjoy - yoga and tai chi are great for relaxation. Schedule in relaxation time every day - This could be for as little as 30 minutes a day or one hour away from the office during lunch time.

Get into yoga. This type of exercise puts an emphasis on relaxation and breath control and could have been designed to cure Insomnia by relaxation. Practice this at least twice a day, perhaps on waking and when you go to bed. This will train your unconscious mind to be able to quickly take you into abdominal breathing and hence relaxation.

A massage is also a great way to relieve stress from the body and ease Insomnia. Its great fun and as long as its not your partner doing it :-) Its very conductive to relaxation.

10 Steps to overcome the fear of change

Step One: Envision what you want

Making changes in our lives tends to stop us in our tracks, we worry what will happen if we make a mistake or do the wrong thing. This can be the result of not having a clear vision of the desired state. be clear about what you want (this is true in most aspects of your life) and then you will be able to see how this change will get you closer to your goals.

Step two: Take a trip

Do you rememberhow exciting it was as a child to take a trip somewhere during school time? You took your lunch, maybe took a ride on a bus or a train and actually left your school during the day to go somewhere new? Before making a big change in your life, take a trip, you could take a day off and visit the place you may be going to live or work and spend some time imagining your new life. This trip will get you excited about positive change in your life.

Step Three: Talk to others who care

Make a point in talking to others who care about you and would be interested in this change for you. The more you talk to others in your support network, the more commited you will become towards your plans.

Step Four: Build new networks

Build new networks to support this change. If you are moving to a new line of work or perhaps a new area to live, start to build new connections. This will give you a foundation, structure and sense of place in your new home.

Step Five: Move towards pleasure in your life

Much of the fear of change comes from living a secure life of avoidence. That is a life of staying clear of risks and essentially hiding under the rock most of your life. With a strategy moving towards pleasure, you start to take more calculated risks. Be more proactive and you will start to move towards what you want vs. avoiding what you do not want in your life.

Step Six: Look at your life as a series of steps

Rarely does major change occur as a result of one big change. To move towards more of what you want in your life, it takes small steps. Whether you are seeking a new relationship, a new line of work or a new area to live, make small steps first.

Step Seven: Make many small changes with the big change

Changing relationships? Buy some new clothes! Changing work? get a new desk or planner! Changing where you live? Start shopping at a new store. Small changes help to lay a foundation for bigger change.

Step Eight: Change, especially after 40. It is time!

Change can start to break old patterns of living and thinking. As a result new oportunities emerge for growth and happiness. Change after 40 can be challenging. Think about change in mid-life as mandatory for good health.

Step Nine: Look back and forward

Think back to when you made major changes in your life. You will discover in most cases they all lead to positive outcomes. Trust your intuition. Look forward to the result of new changes. Imagine all the new possibilities!

Step Ten: Celebrate!

No one is going to through a party for you after you make a major change in your life. In fact you may lose a few friends who don't agree with your change. The best way to reinforce every small change in your life is to celebrate yourself! Plan in advance a trip or small party right after the change. This will serve as an anchor for the future that you can overcome the fear of change.

No reason to FEAR

There is noreason to ANY longer be afraid of change after 40. It is healthy, necessary and MANDATORY for recreating a second half of life which works better for you.

Hypnotherapy: Can It Be Used To Treat Alcoholism?

Hypnotherapy was first discovered in the ancient times by the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians as a healing art. Until today, it has evolved over the generations and has been used to treat a variety of illnesses, even alcoholism. It has been proven to be safe and effective and has been adopted by many healthcare practitioners as an alternative therapy. But till what extent is hypnotherapy effective in treating alcoholism? Let's find out. As we all know, the therapeutic effect of hypnotherapy ranges from its hypnosis effects and relaxation abilities. It can help anxious and tensed people relax by putting them in a relaxed state of mind. The habit of alcohol drinking is something that has been incorporated into the minds by people who drink chronically due to their social upbringing. A variety of sources contribute to this habit such as the role of media and advertising, peer influence, and work related stress. Unfortunately, many believe that hypnotherapy does not work directly on the causes, but instead help reduce the symptoms of alcohol cravings which lead to binge drinking. For example, we binge on alcohol because we want a form of escapism from the stress and frustrations of work/our boss/our spouses. The role of hypnotherapy is more to relaxing the mind of the subject rather than brainwashing the subject into being stress free. We are also aware that many of the "triggers" of alcohol cravings and hence binging cannot be avoided. Therefore, hypnotherapy has a big role to play in this area. It can treat the symptoms of alcoholism such as alcohol withdrawal syndrome and relax the subject. Hypnotherapy coupled with counselling and the introduction of empowering thoughts and ideas can create a profound breakthrough in patients suffering from alcoholism. In conclusion, a good hypnotherapy regimen coupled with adequate counselling can help alcohol addicts treat symptoms of withdrawal and prevent alcohol cravings.

Have you heard of gastric band surgery? Many try it as a good way to lose weight and it does work to be sure but did you know that it is an expensive technique and one that is prone to complications like getting a slipped band, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting and many others? You have to ask yourself is the risk and expense really worth it?
What if you found a way to have all of the benefits without the risk and expense of the surgery? Believe it or not there is a technique in hypnosis that provides this. Gastric band hypnosis is a new technique in hypnosis where you receive suggestions that you have had the procedure and amazingly you will begin to act and live as if it were true. This is one of the many ways that you can lose weight with hypnotherapy.
Because of modern life and the ability to have any kind of food anytime you want most people carry extra fat. Two types of fat are prominent in your abdominal area. The first kind covers your abdominal muscles and if you lose it your muscles will be visible and you will get that ripped look. It is called subcutaneous fat and is stored directly under the skin and over your abs. The second kind of abdominal fat is called visceral fat.
Visceral fat goes deep into your abdomen under your muscles and in fact it surrounds your organs. This makes it particularly dangerous and while both increase your risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease visceral fat puts you at a much greater risk. This type of fat is responsible for what is known as a "beer belly." Visceral fat also releases more inflammatory molecules into your body all of the time.
It took a lot of extra calories consumed over a long time to get this fat build up so you cannot expect it to come off easily and this is why some people take the extraordinary measure of gastric band surgery to put part of their stomach out of commission.
This is an extreme measure as we have seen, but now Gastric Band Hypnosis can produce the same results without the surgery part. With Gastric Band Hypnotherapy a hypnotist will induce a trance and give you suggestions that will cause you to believe and act as if you have actually had the procedure. This is a safe and effective way to lose weight with hypnotherapy.
Don't let abdominal fat destroy your confidence and ruin your health. Learn more about Gastric Band Hypnosis, just click the link or visit: http://www.howtohypnotizeyourself.net.

phobias

Phobias can make our lives a misery. To the outsider these fears appear - and indeed are - utterly illogical and irrational. To the person with the phobia however, the fear is all to real. There are many, many different phobias; infact, a person can have a phobia about almost anything. Common ones include fear of flying, fear of rodents, fear of heights, fear of insects, fear of open spaces, and fear of confined spaces. Others include a fear of crossing the road, oceans, computers, cats, dogs, snakes - the list goes on and on. very often the phobia is obscure enough that we don't have to worry too much about it. For example, if you have a morbid fear of mountains but spend your life on the coast, this phobia is unlikely to cause you many problems. similarly, having an irrational fear of cows is not going to be a big handicap to your life if you live in the city of london. But very often phobias such as fear of flying, fear of elevators, and fear of open spaces, can be major obstacles to living a normal life. In most cases, hypnosis is a very effective tool for removing these irrational fears, and more and more people are turning to the treatment for help.

The object of the fear

One technique used by hypnotherapists is to get clients to come to terms, step by step, with the object of their fear. During a trance, clients will be asked to imagine or visualize the object of their fear at a safe distance. For example, someone with a cat phobia might be asked to imagine a cat on the other side of town, far enough away so they can visualize it without distress. Gradually, and over a few sessions, the client would visualize the cat closer and closer to them, without it causing them any distress. Hypnotic suggestions would reassure them that they had no problem with cats, that the cat was no threat to them, in fact that they were fond of cats. Eventually, the client would visualize themself close to the animal, touching it, and feeling no anxiety. The phobia would be defeated.

Another approach is to take the client back, through regression, to the time when the phobia first developed. Sometimes, though not invariably, a phobia was caused by a trigger event from earlier in our lives, which we may have forgotten. We may have been bitten by a dog or been shut up in a closet by older siblings. During a trance the hypnotist will take the client back before to before this trigger event and make them aware of what it felt like before they had the phobia. The hypnotist will then use this feeling to replace the clients phobia with a more positive frame of mind. Just being consciously aware of the trigger event can sometimes be enough to remove the phobia.

Hypnotists do have to be careful how they tackle phobias. For example, someone with with a phobia about snakes does not want to have all inhibitions about them removed to the extent that that they would cheerfully pick up a rattlesnake. This is why therapists take care to listen to clients. A client will not perhaps want to enjoy the company of poisonous snakes but want simply not to have an unreasonablr fear about them.

Similarly hypnosis can be used to help treat a variety of disorders, including panic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post - traumatic stress disorder.

The Case of the Gerbil phobia

The hypnosis method for dealing with phobias does not always have to be gradual. In one case a young women went to a hypnotist worried because she had been asked to look after a young relative's pet gerbil during a holiday break. The problem was, the women had a morbid fear of gerbils and other rodents. Even worse, the holiday began the next day, so there was no time for a lengthy series of sessions. Undeterred, the hypnotist put his client into a trance and suggested to her unconscious that she actually quite liked gerbils, and moreover she was even looking forward to caring for her relative's pet. her mind seems to have been successfully programmed - the gerbilsitting continued for many years to come. This case illustrates how successful hypnosis can be in dealing with phobias.

Fear of Vegetables

One therapist had a 30 year old client who suffered from lachanophobia - fear of vegetables. Not only could she not eat vegetables, but she was upset because she could not even prepare them for her children. the very smell of vegetables brought on a panic attack. Under hypnosis, she spontaneously recalled that, when she was about six, her mother was giving all her attention to her new baby; she apparently fought her mother on the issue of eating vegetables in order to regain her mothers attention. Part of her felt that if she ate vegetables without a fuss, she would lose her mother's love. With the use of suggestion, the therapist was able to get her first to buy carrots, then to eat them. Eventually, the therapy created a normal approach to vegetables.

The Power of Now

The beginning of freedom is the the realization that you are not "the thinker."

The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated.

You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence.

You also realize that all the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind.

You begin to awaken.

("Practising The Power of Now" Eckhart Tolle)
