Hypnosis Really Changes Your Mind

Hypnosis is more than just a party trick, it measurably changes how the brain works, says a UK researcher.

"Hypnosis significantly affects the activity in a part of the brain responsible for detecting and responding to errors," says John Gruzelier, a psychologist at Imperial College in London. Using functional brain imaging, he also found that hypnosis affects an area that controls higher level executive functions.

“This explains why, under hypnosis, people can do outrageous things that ordinarily they wouldn’t dream of doing,” says Gruzelier, who presented his study at the British Association for the Advancement of Science Festival in Exeter, UK.

The finding is one of the first to indicate a biological mechanism underpinning the experience of hypnosis. Gruzelier hopes it will also benefit emerging research showing, for example, that hypnosis can help cancer patients deal with painful treatments.

Highly susceptible
Gruzelier and his colleagues studied brain activity using an fMRI while subjects completed a standard cognitive exercise, called the Stroop task.

The team screened subjects before the study and chose 12 that were highly susceptible to hypnosis and 12 with low susceptibility. They all completed the task in the fMRI under normal conditions and then again under hypnosis.

Throughout the study, both groups were consistent in their task results, achieving similar scores regardless of their mental state. During their first task session, before hypnosis, there were no significant differences in brain activity between the groups.

But under hypnosis, Gruzelier found that the highly susceptible subjects showed significantly more brain activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus than the weakly susceptible subjects. This area of the brain has been shown to respond to errors and evaluate emotional outcomes.

The highly susceptible group also showed much greater brain activity on the left side of the prefrontal cortex than the weakly susceptible group. This is an area involved with higher level cognitive processing and behaviour.

Stage hypnotists
Gruzelier concludes that, under hypnosis, these brain areas are having to work much harder to achieve the same cognitive task results. “This is confirming our model of hypnosis with very direct evidence of brain function,” he says.

Peter Naish, at the UK's Open University, says this moves the understanding of hypnosis away from the popular misconceptions created by showy stage hypnotists.
“We have a technique that has now moved towards evidence-based treatments,” he says. “Gruzelier’s work is showing for sure that the brain is doing quite different things under hypnosis than in normal everyday existence.”

Clinical trials of therapeutic hypnosis are starting to confirm its potential benefits. Christina Liossi, a psychologist at the University of Wales in Swansea, recently conducted a study of 80 cancer patients aged 6 to 16.

She found that those under hypnosis experienced far less pain during treatments than control children, who simply talked to the researchers normally.

The Secret To Mastering NLP In 3 Simple Words

On one of the ten amazing interviews in the Modeling The Masters program John La Valle goes into some detail on how to learn NLP.

John describes the learning process in three parts –

Input – Processing – Output

The key principle he says is on the output. By going to a seminar or reading a book you have the input. Your mind will process the information for you. So the secret to mastering NLP is in the output part of the learning formula.

It is only when you output i.e. try and use language patterns or anchor someone that you realise what you actually know and what you don't know.

This output then works as a feedback loop. Find out what you need to know more of or practice more of. Get the input required (read a book, learn more), process it and then output the results again and notice the change. That's the learning cycle and the secret to mastering NLP in 3 simple words - Input-Process-Output.

The mistake most NLPers do is they don't do the output. Just attending a seminar is not enough, reading lots of books is not enough. To increase your skill level you need to use the output. You need to practice the skill, notice what's not working and then improve on it.

That's all it is - the people who get good at NLP, the master trainers we interviewed all used the skills everyday - they had an output channel to complete the learning cycle. Without the output channel your learning cycle is incomplete its just processed knowledge!!

So start today, pick an area of NLP that interests you – identify an output channel i.e. language patterns at work, changing your friends states….. and use the output to kick off your learning cycle to NLP Mastery.

For a more detailed explanation on how you can gain a quantum leap in your NLP skills by just using these 3 simple words and more on John La Valle's Learning Formula - buy the Modeling The Masters programme now.

On John La Valle's interview you will also hear about Brain Juice, dealing with clients, NLP in the corporate world, mastering language patterns and much much more

Dont let this opportunity slip by, hurry over to Modeling The Masters and grab your copy before the price goes up.

Until then have fun, learn lots and remember to use the output channel !

Stop Smoking in One Session of Hypnosis

STOP SMOKING is the main reason people ask for hypnosis.

SUCCESS RATES of STOP SMOKING METHODS
"Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little". (New Scientist, Volume 136 issue 1845 31 Oct 1992, page 6)

95% of the clients who come to me stop smoking in one session of hypnosis.

"I was relaxed but consciously aware of my surroundings so I found it hard to believe that hypnosis would work after just one session. But I was very impressed. I thought it would be difficult but I found it relatively easy to stop smoking. I am not troubled by other people's smoking. I used to enjoy smoking but now I enjoy not smoking. I quickly found I can breathe more deeply and have noticed two other health improvements. After four weeks, I am still a motivated non-smoker." - James Benn, Brussels

What are the success rates for other ways of stopping smoking?
- Champix (Drug) up to 22% (with side effects)
- Acupuncture up to 25% success rate
- Zyban (Drug) with its side effects, up to 21% success rate
- Nicotine patches (with their side effects) up to 13%
- Nicotine Gum (with side effects) up to 11%
- Self-help books, 9%
- Willpower alone 6%

The American Journal of Clinical Hypnotherapy published a report.
"94% of patients that stopped smoking through hypnosis were still not smoking 18 months later".

"..93% of Niotine patch users fail within a half year..." (Freedom From Tobacco - Quit Smoking Now).

WHY STOP SMOKING?
There are many reasons to stop: bad for your health, expensive waste of money, no smoking rules at work or in bars/restaurants, planes etc., anti-social habit, passive smoke inhaled by family members especially children, smelly clothes and hair, ageing effect on your skin etc. I just ask one thing - that you want to stop for your own reason(s), not that someone else is pressuring you to quit. From the moment you book the session, you become an ex-smoker.

DOES STOPPING SMOKING HAVE TO BE DIFFICULT?
So many conditioned thoughts can lead you to believe it is difficult to stop smoking:
“Quitting is so hard.”
“I can’t stop thinking about cigarettes.”
“I’ll put on weight if I stop”.
(A common misconception.)
“I need to smoke to relieve stress.”
“I always smoke after a meal (or sex).”


With my help, you will stop smoking by relaxing and changing your thoughts about smoking. I do not use "aversion therapy" which makes you feel sick whenever you smell cigarette smoke but just reprogramme your mind to see you as a non-smoker. You will enjoy the freedom from slavery to smoking. I include suggestions to ensure you do not replace smoking with over-eating.

NICOTINE REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS
Some people even need therapy to break their addiction to Nicorette chewing gum or nicotine patches and scientists have found a high link in the risk of mouth cancer and nicotine replacement products.
See Cancer Risk with Nicotine Replacement Products

So don't take the risk - choose the natural, relaxing way to become a non-smoker.


STOP SMOKING WITH HYPNOSIS
I am the leading English Hypnotherapist in Belgium and have a high success rate of 95% with smokers who stop in one 60 - 90 minutes session of hypnosis. I see clients in Brussels (Avenue Louise) or Antwerpen (Berchem) or at my home in Limburg.

STOP SMOKING IN ONE GROUP SESSION OF HYPNOSIS
I can run a special group session in Brussels (Avenue Louise) or Antwerpen (Berchem) or one in your company or club.

A group session is a great idea for a club, school, charity or other organization which wants to raise money and encourage people to stop smoking and so look after their health at the same time.


Antonia Harrison is the English Hypnotherapist & NLP Practitioner in Belgium helping people to make positive change in many areas of life and specializes in STOP SMOKING IN ONE SESSION OF HYPNOSIS.

Do you think of hypnosis as a trick performed by stage performers?

Or maybe something done in a hypnotist's office to help smokers quit?

You're right, these are types of hypnosis, but they're not the most common kind.

In fact, hypnosis is being used all around you, and even ON you.

Have you watched TV today? Read a fascinating email? Spoken with someone who held your undivided attention?

Odds are good that you were in a type of trance or hypnotic state without even realizing it.

- Influence anyone to do as you suggest?
- Get customers to buy more and buy more often?
- Become a master negotiator?
- Compel your colleagues to do what you suggest?
- Get almost anyone to say "Yes"?
- Easily convince your children to do what you tell them?
- Keep your spouse eternally loyal?

If you want to easily influence people to do what you want and do it in such a way that they are eager and happy to comply...

Almost all successful marketers are students of hypnosis or human psychology. They need to be so they can understand HOW & WHY people buy. Without this knowledge their websites or shops are as quiet as a graveyard.

The problem is there's very little quality information 'out there' on this hidden subject.

That changed when world class hypnotist and consultant to Fortune 500 companies,
Igor Ledochowski, decided to 'spill the beans' with
* His new Power of Conversational Hypnosis course which has finally been released *

It's the most ADVANCED course ANYWHERE on conversational hypnosis.

In fact here's what hypnotic marketer, certified hypnotherapist, online guru and star of the hit film "The Secret" says about it:

"I didn't believe this material would be that good, but it turns out to be a breathtaking course on using hypnosis in everyday conversation. I've never seen or heard anything this complete, powerful, or convincing. I love it." - Dr. Joe Vitale mrfire.com

It's being released for a limited time as a digital course so you'll be able to access it immediately.

* It comes with 16 Full CDs (as MP3s)
* The Full Transcripts + Manual (620+ Pages)
* The How To Master Conversational Hypnosis Cheat Sheets

No one will know what's different about you, or why they follow your instructions, jump at your commands, or listen in rapt attention at every word you utter.

Professional Hypnotherapy Scripts for Download

For anyone in professional hypnotherapy practice, I strongly recommend the Hypnotic World professional scripts which are available to download for a monthly fee of just US$ 12.99. This gives you access to an unlimited number of script downloads.

Having access to a source of hypnotherapy scripts online is always useful for any hypnotherapist, even after years and years in practice, because people present with new problems all the time.

I find the Hypnotic World 600+ Hypnosis Scripts Subscription service on Hypnotic World to be invaluable. Hypnotic World's subscription service enables users to access 600+ scripts, MP3s and information on hypnosis and hypnotherapists. They add new scripts monthly and there are even some scripts in other languages.

Another benefit is that subscribers can list their own therapy practice on the site for free as long as they continue to be subscribers.

New scripts added in December 2009:
* Psychic Phone Line Addiction: This surprisingly common, under-reported and potentially destructive habit can now be treated with Hypnotic World's newest script.

* Deep Relaxation (Updated)

* Fear of Wind: often results from negative programming during the formative years or an unpleasant experience involving strong winds, therefore it is particularly helpful to use regression to go back to the source of the problem and re-evaluate it.

* Fear of Choking: written for a child who has trouble eat foods as a result of a previous unpleasant experience.

* Automatic Writing: Automatic Writing used to be a subject shrouded in mystery which conjured up images of 19th century mediums, however many respected hypnotherapists, including Estabrooks and Erickson, have described how Automatic Writing can help people to tap into their unconscious knowledge. A new script, published by Hypnotic World empowers your clients to do just this.

* Fear of Crowds: This fear is very real for people suffering with the symptoms of feeling that their personal space is being invaded.

* Ten Pin Bowling Confidence:This excellent script will help anyone who engages in competitive Ten Pin Bowling but feels nervous when performing in a pressurized situation. It could be adapted for golfing enthusiasts and is an ideal resource addition to therapists working in the sport improvement field.

* Coping with Medication Side Effects:This script was written for a member suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder who found that the medication was having unwanted side effects. Whilst not wanting to stop the medication they wanted to be able to cope better with the effects.

* Fear of Spiders' Webs:We're sure that not many people actually enjoy the feeling of walking into a cobweb and having that sticky stuff all over our face - however most of us can cope with it and don't actually go on to developing a fear. However there are those that do - and believe it or not this can be an overwhelming problem in their life.
