Excuse Me, I Can't Get It Up

Erectile dysfunction is a more common problem than you may think.  If it has happened to you, you may feel embarrassed and ask "What's the matter with me?"

The good news is you are not alone.  According to the NHS, it is estimated that 50% of men between 40 and 70 years of age will experience ED at least once.  

There are many different ways ED can be treated, including:

• Medication (tablets)
• Psychosexual counselling
• Penile injections
• Penile implants
• Penile creams
• Vacuum pumps
• Hormone treatment
• Surgery.

I have also successfully treated men with safe, natural and non-invasive hypnosis.  Would you rather have injections, need to use a pump, medication or lie back and enter a state of deep mental and physical relaxation in which we change the message your brain sends to the system controlling your penis?

Hypnosis works at the deep subconscious level to change habits and behaviours such as smoking, over-eating, fears and conditioned responses which cause problems like ED when there is no physical cause.

I can treat you over Skype or Zoom from anywhere in the world.  Just contact me for a free consultation on http://www.EnglishSkypeHypnotist.com

Book Yourself a Hypnosis Goal-Setting Session to Really Achieve What You Want This Year

Do you want to achieve your goals this year through the power of your own subconscious mind? 

Then you need hypnosis. It works at the subconscious level, a bit like the iceberg below the water being the actual foundation of your mind. It is safe, natural and deeply relaxing, both in mind and body. My website explains more http://www.englishskypehypnotist.com/hypnosis/

Together, we can establish some SMART goals for you, ones that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timed. 

Why Specific? Well, if you tell me you want more money in 2017 and I give you £1, have you achieved your goal? Probably not. Or if you say you want to lose weight and you lose only 1 lb all year, is that what you meant? Again, probably not. The subconscious mind likes specific goals to picture and work towards. So put a number or a value on what you want to achieve to make it Measurable.

It should be Achievable and Realistic. Earning an extra £50,000 this year is achievable if you are earning £2 million - that might be your bonus - but not if you are earning average wage with very little chance of rapid promotion. You would need a formula for earning through other sources of income, unless Auntie Mary leaves you £50,000 as an inheritance this year. Your goal should be Realistic within your current resources eg do you need extra qualifications to reach a certain job level? Do you have the time, resources and knowledge to reach your goal?

Goals should be Timed. “I want to lose more weight” is just a wish, not a goal. Tell me you want to lose 2 stone in six months and we have a realistic, achievable and timed goal.

Once we have SMART goals we need to check that they fit with your personal values and that they are YOUR goals. That might sound obvious but why do you want to lose weight? If you are happy the way you are but your partner keeps nagging you to lose weight, the goal is not congruent with your desire if you are being authentic to yourself. Perhaps earning more money is not your motivator but seeking appreciation for your talents. You only have one life, as far as we know, so let's make it the best one.

If you really want 2017 to be different to 2016 and make positive changes, let's start the year right with a personal goal-setting breakthrough session. We can meet face to face or over Skype. Invest in yourself to make 2017 your best year ever.

Help Over Skype for Mental Illness When You Need It

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay

These are not statistics; they are young people whose lives are blighted at the time when they should be full of hope. Support services in the UK are woefully inadequate and waiting lists of 3-4 months are totally unacceptable. Anti-depressants take six weeks to have any effect and are often not the answer. Worse still, many become addicted to the anti-depressants or tranquilizers and need treatment to deal with the addiction!  People need people to listen to them and teach coping strategies, not just send them away with a pill.

Depression, anxiety or any of the many diagnozable disorders overtake every aspect of life, far more than many physical ailments which are treated much more quickly. It is time that our government realised that ignoring the mentally ill is inhumane and harsh but also economically stupid as these people may cause more of a burden to the state in benefits, possible unemployment, long term health and care costs when immediate treatment could have prevented this.

Hypnotherapists can often help people with depression, anxiety, eating disorders,  alcohol or other substance abuse and help quickly without dependence on medication.  Learning to relax, changing perspective, encouraging engagement in eg exercise and healthy eating, mindfulness - all of this is much more positive then sending someone away with a piece of paper for a pill that won't have any effect for weeks and the prospect of facing the problem alone for months until an assessment can be made, then another referral.

I Can Take Your Fear of the Dentist Away

Hands up who likes going to the dentist? Not that many of you huh?

Many people are downright scared of going to the dentist, to the point where it be could be called a fear, or even a phobia which is an irrational fear. Having dental treatment can be unpleasant but it is unlikely to be dangerous or kill us so it is irrational to fear the man or woman looming over us in a mask.

No one is born being afraid of dental visits. So everyone who is afraid has learned somewhere that dental treatment is something to fear. Some people learn this because they have had previous bad dental experiences. The sense of loss of control in the dental environment may be enough to avoid dental treatment forever while others may be afraid due to stories they have heard, movies they have seen or other indirect experiences. The message conveyed to a child from a scared parent might be that going to see a dentist is something to be afraid of. Such messages may cause individuals to avoid treatment and not have any opportunity to learn that things can be different.

Some people fear going to the dentist so much that they just don't go, for years, sometimes 10 or 20 years and then they may well need some treatment reinforcing their negative expectation. The fact is that a routine check-up and good oral health will keep the cavities away and improve our chance of long-term trouble-free teeth and gums.

Did you know that safe and relaxing hypnosis can rid you of the fear, whether you are an adult or a child? Children love hypnosis and they are very good subjects because they enjoy sitting in the "magic chair" and going on a "journey of fantasy". A negative association with the dentist can easily be replaced with a positive reinforcement of looking after our dental health.

As the English Skype Hypnotist, I help clients all over the world from the comfort of their own home using the wonderful free technology of Skype hypnosis. I also see clients face to face on the South coast of England. Let me help you and trips to the dentist will be short and trouble free. There is nothing to fear, only fear itself.

I Don't Want To Be The Fat Bridesmaid

Sally came to me three months before her best friend's wedding. She had been invited to be a bridesmaid, as had two other friends. One of the friends was very overweight, at least five stones or 70 pounds on the heavy side. Sally wanted to lose two stones or 28 pounds to look her best for the big day. She did not want to be the "fat bridesmaid" in her best friend's wedding photos.

Both girls met me when I had an exhibition stand about Gastric Band Hypnosis, or Virtual Gastric Band. I explained that this is safe and relaxing. We pretend that the person is having an operation to fit a gastric band at the opening of their stomach to restrict the amount of food they will eat and the power of their subconscious mind makes the experience real, giving all the benefits without any of the pain, discomfort, time off work and large investment of money.

Gastric band operations are quite common procedures now but there are always risks of undergoing general anaesthetic and ensuing stitches, scar tissue, even burst bands can pose problems. The operation's true cost is around £10,000 but available free on the NHS within the UK providing the patient qualifies by being sufficiently overweight with a high enough BMI. Sally was only two stones overweight so would not have qualified. The average cost in the USA is currently $25,000.

Gastric Band Hypnosis is completely safe, deeply relaxing and available in the comfort of your own home via the technology of hypnosis over Skype. Wherever you are in the world, I can help you. My current fee for the programme is £500, considerably cheaper than £10,000 or $25,000 for an operation which will cause discomfort and time off work at the very least.

Sally's friend chose not to book this programme. She muttered something about the price as she fiddled with her BMW key fob.

Sally did book the programme. From the first session, she noticed the difference in her eating patterns, as did her family and colleagues. She wasn't hungry and she found it easy to lose the weight - all two stones in time for the wedding. She wasn't the "fat bridesmaid" but we know who was.

You Can Increase Muscle Strength with a Hypnosis MP3

As incredible as it might seem, just imagining exercise can increase muscle strength almost as much as physically doing exercise.

A 2007 study from the North American Journal of Psychology found that a group of people who repeatedly visualized exercising a certain muscle actually saw their strength rise by 24%, compared with an only slightly higher 28% increase in those who just used physical training.

So, when added to your regular workout routine, or even used by itself, an Increase Muscle Strength hypnosis download MP3 will help you become stronger and perform at your physical best.

This phenomenon has been known for some time and sports psychologists have used the power of hypnosis in sport training.

Hypnosis Helped Me Overcome My Fear of MRI Scans

I last had an MRI ten years ago simply because I suffered an extreme claustrophobic reaction and started shouting for the process to stop. Problem is, after two brain tumours and ongoing “electrical activity on the scar tissue”, I need an annual brain scan. CT scans offer far less detail but with substantially high radiation; the effective radiation dose of a CT scan is about the same as the average person receives background radiation in 3 to 5 years whilst MRI scans do not emit ionizing radiation. I have always said, “I might have had benign brain tumours but the radiation of CT scans could kill me.”

Both types of scanner look similar but the “tunnel” of a MRI scanner is narrower so closer to the body. My head has to be kept absolutely still in a cradle and I panic when I look out and only see the white wall of the tunnel in front of me. Yes I know, the answer is not to look but like all fears or phobias, we don’t behave rationally. A spider phobic will keep looking at a spider in the corner of the room rather than ignore it or a needle phobic will look while a blood test is being taken.

There are some coping mechanisms for MRI anxiety, called “Scanxiety” by someone I know.

A doctor may prescribe Xanax or Valium to be taken 30-40 minutes before the scan to calm the nerves. It may be a temporary solution but you will need someone to drive you back from the hospital.

If you prefer natural herbal remedies to drugs, you can try passionflower used by North American natives as a sedative or kava, a pepper native to the islands of the South Pacific. Just a moment…..pepper for claustrophobia? Kava also helps with menopausal symptoms, insomnia and to alleviate anxiety. Scullcap and Valerian help the body or mind release themselves from fear. St John’s Wort is said to balance the serotonin level and reduce anxiety but herbal remedies take time to build up so I am not sure how useful they are for a one-off scan.

Some doctors will prescribe a course of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to gradually expose you to the object of your fear which always seems very cruel and unnecessary to me plus the process takes weeks and there is a long waiting list.

I chose to listen to a hypnosis recording a couple of hours before my scan. I downloaded a hypnosis MP3 for Fear of MRI Scans and just lay back and relaxed. It took me into a tunnel of light where instead of feeling panic, I just felt calm and totally safe. I was enjoying the relaxation so much that there was no desire to open my eyes and trigger any claustrophobic feelings.

Later, at the scanning unit, I told the staff that I had been claustrophobic about MRI scans in the past so asked to look at the machine first and for them to give me a couple of moments to settle. They gave me a “panic button” to squeeze should I need to. They explained that the first part would take about 20 minutes then they would inject some dye into my bloodstream which gives contrast on the scans and continue scanning for another 10 minutes.

I knew in advance that I could bring a CD but rather than bring classical or relaxing music, I chose a favourite CD from Seal as I am very familiar with each song. Focusing on the words seemed to help.

MRI scans are very noisy with erratic sounds followed by periods of silence. There can be buzzing, knocking, clanging bells, drilling and one very loud part which reminded me of the noisy start to Pink Floyd’s track “Time” on “Dark Side of the Moon”! My CD did not drown out the noise but it helped distract me.

The hypnosis definitely helped me. I was able to calm my breathing, lie still for over 30 minutes of scanning, keep imagining myself in the tunnel of light and most importantly, not open my eyes! Having endured my first MRI scan in 10 years without anxiety, I know I have put scanxiety behind me thanks to hypnosis and I have the MP3 on my laptop to listen to before any future scans to ensure I am relaxed.

Fear of MRI Scans

Do you have Paraskavedekatriaphobia?

I sincerely hope not because many people will have trouble even pronouncing para-ska-ve-de-katria-phobia.

It's a very long word for a condition which affects many people - unnecessarily - and in plain, simple English, Paraskavedekatriaphobia is the fear of the number thirteen.

Many people develop this fear because other people tell them that the number thirteen is unlucky. Some apartment buildings or hotels do not have a floor 13 or at least omit any room number with a 13. Some people refuse to travel or even to leave the house on Friday 13th which is interesting because in Spain, I believe the unlucky day is Tuesday 13th.

Like most superstitions, fearing the number 13 is as pointless as worrying because a black cat crosses your path, or finding your cutlery crossed over at the table.

Some people spend their whole life submitting to a fear or a phobia when it can be overcome simply and quickly through safe, natural hypnosis. I have helped countless people to be rid of life-limiting fears and phobias through a quick process which combines with clever NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) so that you are literally talked out of the fear. I did it on myself with self-hypnosis to be rid of my lifelong spider phobia and I am so glad I did. The ugly creepy crawlies no longer induce fear or palpitations. In fact, I am now the one who others ask to remove the unwanted intruders. If I can do that, just think how easily I can remove an irrational fear of the number thirteen.

Young Women Smokers Die Unnecessarily

Smoking-related illnesses are not just something people develop in old age. Young women have been diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease which can include a variety of diseases including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. These young women had smoked excessively in their teenage years. The symptoms can be as bad as lung cancer and cause breathing problems. About 30,000 people die unnecessarily young every year yet all they had to do was stop smoking.

But how do they give up addiction to nicotine, the most addictive substance on the planet? Many cannot stop just by their own willpower and face cravings and horrible withdrawal symptoms. Some ask the pharmacist for nicotine replacement products eg tablets or chewing gum but still remain addicted to nicotine. Nicotine chewing gum has also been associated with oral cancer. Take your pick - lung disease possibly leading to lung cancer or oral cancer?

What if I told you that smoking can be beaten easily with hypnosis? It's safe, natural and quick, in fact most people stop smoking in just one session and stay stopped. Recently a couple of chain smokers reported that they had not smoked since their single session with me back in 2009 - six years ago!!! One man told me that not only had he stopped smoking immediately but felt like he had never smoked. Hypnosis is really powerful.

The other bit of good news is that I offer smoking cessation the easy way - via Skype in the comfort of your own home. I am an English female hypnotherapist and I want to help you stop smoking just like all the people before you. We simply connect over Skype, I ask you first to complete a short questionnaire about your health and lifestyle then we talk about why you started smoking, why stopping has been so difficult and what are your personal reasons for wanting to stop. Everyone is different but reasons might include: difficulty breathing, reduced stamina, want to try for pregnancy, don't want to smoke around children, health problem caused by smoking, doctor has advised you to stop smoking, signs of early ageing, makes you smell of stale ash, waste of money (literally burning money away) or prefer to spend the money on holidays, hobbies or going out.

There are many reasons to give up and I cannot think of any good reason to keep smoking.

Well-known Health & Fitness Club Says Don't Tell Members How Gastric Band Hypnosis Can Help Them!

My Health & Fitness Club told me not to tell fellow members about Gastric Band Hypnosis which I offer because it competes with their services!

I'm not competing with the gym, the fitness classes or the swimming & spa. On the contrary, I absolutely recommend that people do regular exercise and preferably something cardio-vascular to give them a healthy heart as well as toning & conditioning for their muscles. When hypnotherapy clients come to me for weight loss, I always recommend they join this particular Health & Fitness Club, whether our local club or one in their area if they are a Skype Hypnosis client.

I was stunned when the manager took me aside. I had overheard one of the hugely obese members in the changing room complaining about how her weight was not changing, even though she regularly attended exercise classes. So I told her briefly about Gastric Band Hypnosis and gave her one of my information leaflets. She showed the leaflet to the manager who is also obese and I was told off.

Gastric Band Hypnosis is a safe, natural and relaxing program of 4 sessions in which the client "undergoes gastric band surgery in a virtual way" ie we pretend s/he is having the operation. As our powerful subconscious mind cannot distinguish between imagined events and reality, it sends the message to the stomach that a gastric band is in place. The client starts to reduce portion size and change eating habits to more healthy ones. Without any effort, the client starts to lose weight and, because this all starts in the powerful subconscious mind, these changes to eating habits are permanent.

One man reported reducing his portion size by one-third overnight. One woman told me how her new 'conscious eating habits' changed the way she ate her lunch at work. My best result so far is a woman of 32 who weighed 24 stone (336 lbs or 152 kg) and lost 7 stone (98 lbs or 44 kg) with Gastric Band Hypnosis. 7 stone!!! Her doctor had told her she was not eligible for a free Gastric Band Surgery in the UK NHS system because her BMI was not high enough. She had to put on more weight before the NHS would fund her £10,000 operation. As she had not worked in two years and was severely depressed, she could not even consider paying for the operation privately. Gastric Band Hypnosis cost a fraction of that amount and did not leave her with scar tissue, bruising, stitches or needing to recover from general anaesthetic. It's an option that might be the answer to losing weight that you need.

I offer Gastric Band Hypnosis for clients local to Portsmouth in Hampshire, UK, or worldwide over Skype Hypnosis. You can find me at English Skype Hypnotist.

Have You Considered Gastric Band Hypnosis as the Safe and Easy Way to Shed Unwanted Weight?

It must really hurt when your 10-year old son calls you "FAT". Sometimes the pounds just pile on day-by-day as your clothes shrink in the washing machine but one day you have to face the truth. It's not your clothes, it's you.

One English Mum hadn't weighed herself in years and was shocked to find her weight had crept up to 15 stone 3 lbs (213 lbs or 96 kg).he It's not just that she was struggling to squeeze into a size 18 in clothes - when you can find clothes in that size - but carrying extra weight is a huge strain on the heart and other vital organs.

Her weight gain started with comfort eating of chocolate during exam periods at university. When she married, she started to serve up huge plates of pasta even though her husband asked her whether she should be eating so much. She made excuses not to take her children swimming, "I couldn't run after them and I daren't take them swimming,” she said. “I daren’t put on a costume. I felt horrible and had to cover up with a towel. I felt like crying whenever we went to the pool and I couldn’t get in. They'd ask if I was taking them swimming and I'd make up excuses and say their dad would take them as he was better at it."

It was her son's words which affected her like a "knife in her heart" and she decided to take action. "He said he liked it because I was cuddly, but I was stunned.” Rather than enrol in the gym and give up after a couple of weeks like most people, she heard about Gastric Band Hypnosis and wondered whether it would work for her.

It sounds obvious but, "A voice infiltrated my subconscious and told me that I should only eat when I was hungry. It also told me I should only eat small portions."

The mum lost five lbs in the first week and more than 5 stone (70 lbs or 31 kg) over 10 months. She slimmed down from dress size 18 to a 10. She says, “I love looking in the mirror now, putting on a dress and thinking 'wow;, which I never did before.”

Gastric Band Hypnosis is a safe,natural and relaxing way to re-program your mind and undo bad eating habits. It could work for you, regardless of your age, weight,BMI or the amount of weight you want to lose.

Antonia Harrison is based in Portsmouth (UK) and is the English Skype Hypnotist who offers Gastric Band Hypnosis over Skype anywhere in the world, in the comfort of your home.

Hypnotherapy Helps Man Overcome Panic Attacks and Agoraphobia

Imagine being scared to leave your own home because of the way you look, fearing taunting and prejudice will bring on panic attacks.

Richard Savage is a chef who suffers from Moebius Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder which paralyses the facial muscles. It can cause respiratory problems, difficulty swallowing, sleep disorders, weak upper body strength, and, as in Mr Savage's case, problems with speech.

He has been taunted all his life and been the victim of prejudice, even being told once he was too "ugly" in a job interview.

Two years ago, he stopped going out of the house, developing panic attacks and Agoraphobia,the fear of open spaces. He said, 'I never left my house. It was terrible. I had to get a doctor's note and wasn't able to work. I have a genetic condition which means I can't move the muscles in my face. It affects my speech. I was never able to fit in with society and at school I was badly bullied. People said I was retarded and ugly. I felt worthless. I became very dejected and withdrew. In my mind, leaving the house was too risky because almost every time I went outside I suffered prejudice.'

Rather than give in to a lifetime of depression, Richard finally turned his life around after having home visits from a cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist. He said:

'A friend suggested I try and get help with my agoraphobia so I had one two-hour session. I was very sceptical but I drifted off naturally, like a good night's sleep. It was like I had gone through a fog and there were no more worries, no more anxiety and no panicking. It is almost like you peel away years of anxiety and that is a big, dramatic change.' He says leaving his house for the first time was 'amazing'. The hypnotherapist who treated him said he came out of the session 'bright eyed and bubbly like a different person'.

This is the power of hypnosis, working with your own subconscious mind to produce results, naturally and safely. Imagine what it could do for you.

Can Hypnosis Help Your Teenager Cope With Exams Stress?

Hypnosis may be the natural, drug-free answer to your teenager’s exam stress. 

Teenagers are under a great deal of pressure these days. Preparing for the job market means excelling at school in exams. High unemployment amongst young people means that being prepared with excellent school grades and a full CV are vital. Whether going out to work after GCSE’s at 16 or progressing to A Levels and university, grades are important. Low performance now can affect your son or daughter for the rest of their life. 

Juggling various subjects, some of which may be weaker or less interesting, and preparing controlled assessments of coursework means a tremendous workload. I know because my 16 year old son is sitting 14 GCSE’s involving 28 exams and controlled assessments in 9 subjects. Last year I coached him to top grades in 2 foreign language GCSE’s and 1 A Level and taught him hypnosis to help him relax and focus. 

Eating healthily at this time is important with plenty of Omega 3 fish for brain food. Studying late every night will affect the quality and quantity of sleep. 

Our teenagers need time to relax and the ability to recharge their energy enabling them to better concentrate, focus, take in information, remember texts for oral exams and most importantly, keep calm in exams. They might also need a boost in self-confidence and self-belief. 

An article in The Daily Telegraph (1) this week discussed the problem of exam stress. The pressure of the GCSE results will lead to an increase in the number of young people suffering from mental health problems, a leading charity has warned:

"Increasing pressure and stress will have an adverse affect on many young people leading to a range of mental health problems including self harm, eating disorders and depression. For a child who has problems in other areas of their life, such as family breakdown or friendship issues, exams can be the 'last straw'. Lucie Russell said: "We need to do much more to protect young people, help them to develop resilience and support them when they find life hard to cope with."

Unfortunately, the article talked about CBT and Prozac medication, rather than mentioning the benefits of hypnosis which are available immediately to any parent who wishes to help their son or daughter. 

I enjoy working with young people to make sure they are in the best frame of mind, relaxed and calm about their exams. If they are taking French or Spanish oral exams, I can correct the text and record it on to their smart phone so repetition from a fluent speaker will help them to remember the text. 

How I helped one teenage girl with severe problems 
A Swedish 16 year old came to see me. She was failing in most subjects, suffered eating and sleep problems and she was cutting herself. At our first session, she was very nervous and could not stop fidgeting. After only three sessions, she felt and appeared much calmer. She could eat and sleep without problem and stopped the self-harming. Three months later, she passed all her exams, some with high grades. A year later, she moved to China as an au pair. Her mother told me it was unthinkable that she could have achieved all of this when she first brought her to see me. 

I help people in several countries using Skype.

One Year Diploma Course in Mesmerism Starts Soon

James Pool will be starting the unique ‘One-Year Diploma Course in Mesmerism’ with some live webinars taking place before the 5-day training in June. James has produced a short video regarding one of the healing aspects of Mesmerism that sets it apart from hypnosis in treating pain. You can watch the video here:

The year-long course will explore all aspects of Mesmerism including academic background reading and regular practical assignments. Some people have asked why they should study mesmerism and James Pool explains why:

"Mesmerism was abandoned for political and theoretical reasons not because it didn't work. Doctors went over to hypnotism because it's theory sounded more 'scientific'. However, a modern study of mesmerism has shown that mesmerism produces a deeper trance than hypnotism and a richer trance experience for the client.

Other modern studies have shown that mesmerism has a positive effect on the body's energy field in a way that hypnotism does not. There is over a hundred and fifty years of research into mesmerism that shows it was more effective in treating certain illnesses like arthritis and back pain than hypnotism.

This is a unique opportunity for hypnotherapists to dramatically improve their success rate and treat new illnesses by studying mesmerism. Mesmerism is both a bio-energy therapy and trance therapy thus it gives you another dimension to your practice. Mesmerism influences the electromagnetic field around a person’s body.

There is over 150 years’ history of experiments and case studies of mesmerism done by professors and some of the best minds of the day. Many of the medical cases of mesmerism are written up in more detail than modern studies of hypnotism.

To learn hypnosis is to learn a technique. To become a mesmerist is to transform your personality – to develop your will power to project bio-energy to entrance your subject."

Hypnosis can work with the power of your own subconscious mind to achieve whatever you want to change, overcome, improve or see happen in your life.

The Power of What If

At age 32 a penniless man decided to conduct an odd experiment. The experiment was about what he could do on behalf of humanity. At the start of the experiment a lot of things were stacked against him... He had already been expelled from Harvard twice. He had no money, was bankrupt and unemployed. He had a wife and young baby to support and he'd been hitting the booze pretty hard too. He was what you might call a "nobody". His prospects didn't look promising. He experienced a profound incident which would provide direction and purpose for his life. He felt as though he was suspended several feet above the ground enclosed in a white sphere of light. A voice spoke directly to him, and declared,

"From now on you need never await temporal attestation to your thought. You think the truth. You do not have the right to eliminate yourself. You do not belong to you. You belong to Universe. Your significance will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume that you are fulfilling your role if you apply yourself to converting your experiences to the highest advantage of others."

The man stated that this experience led to a profound re-examination of his life. He ultimately chose to embark on "an experiment, to find what a single individual could contribute to changing the world and benefiting all humanity." But he decided to pursue his self-hypnosis experiment anyway. He wanted to know:

"What could a person do to change the world?"

Whenever he came up against a limiting thought, a feeling of impossible or an outside obstacle, he'd ask, "What if?"

What happened? Well...Mr "Nobody's" life turned out rather interesting. He became an architect, an inventor, a author (he wrote 28 books) and a great leader of men. He received 44 honorary degrees, registered 25 U.S. patents and, through it all (from the launch of his experiment) he literally changed the way humans see themselves and their world.

Mr "Nobody's" name? The great Buckminster Fuller. Just goes to show the power of asking: "What if?"

Just imagine how far you could go, how high you could rise in the world, if you continually asked "What if?". And what if you started TODAY?

Hypnosis can work with the power of your own subconscious mind to achieve whatever you want to change, overcome, improve or see happen in your life. Too many people shy away from hypnosis because they believe false myths. You can find out the facts with my free e-book "21 Myths and 30 Truths About Hypnosis" available from www.21HypnosisMyths.com

Overcome the Pain of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Naturally and Quickly

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is painful. I speak from personal experience.

IBS is now one of the most common problems of the digestive system: about 1 in 6 people in the UK have occasional symptoms such as pain in the abdomen, constipation and diarrhoea. Other symptoms include a bloated abdomen, passing excess wind, feeling sick and indigestion. Some people also experience a sense of fullness. Women are more likely to get IBS and to have more severe symptoms. If you suffer repeated symptoms, you should always be checked out by your doctor as there could be some other underlying bowel condition.

There are various medications that may be prescribed and dietary or lifestyle advice given. However, the medical profession now recognise that hypnosis can be effective in treating the symptoms of IBS. Here is one report:

Whitehead WE. Hypnosis for irritable bowel syndrome: the empirical evidence of therapeutic effects. Int J Clin Exp Hypn. 2006 Jan;54(1):7-20. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a complex and prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder that is treated with limited effectiveness by standard medical care. Hypnosis treatment is, along with cognitive-behavioral therapy, the psychological therapy best researched as an intervention for IBS. Eleven studies, including 5 controlled studies, have assessed the therapeutic effects of hypnosis for IBS. Although this literature has significant limitations, such as small sample sizes and lack of parallel comparisons with other treatments, this body of research consistently shows hypnosis to have a substantial therapeutic impact on IBS, even for patients unresponsive to standard medical interventions. The median response rate to hypnosis treatment is 87%, bowel symptoms can generally be expected to improve by about half, psychological symptoms and life functioning improve after treatment, and therapeutic gains are well maintained for most patients for years after the end of treatment.

Obese Woman Loses Over 12 Stone Through Hypnosis

Learning to 'unzip the fat suit': Obese woman so heavy she needed both knees replaced loses over 12st through hypnosis.

• Trish Walker was 24st 7lbs at her heaviest.  She was about to have gastric band fitted when she began hypnotherapy and lost half of her body weight in 18 months.  Trish now weighs 12st 3lbs and exercises daily

A woman who was so overweight she had to have both knees replaced has lost over half her body weight through hypnosis.

Trish Walker, 56,was 24st 7lbs at her heaviest but has managed to drop to 12st 3lbs after conquering her fast food cravings.

Following a double knee replacement that was needed as a direct result of her obesity Trish was preparing to have a gastric band fitted when her psychiatrist recommended a hypnotherapy course. In the end the course proved so successful that Trish was able to conquer her addiction to food and lose weight without the dangerous surgery.

Trish, says: ‘Now I am the kind of person who enjoys moving my body'.

A yo-yo dieter since her teens, Trish, had gained and lost up to 8st at a time over the years. She would often eat whole cakes in secret, or entire packs of biscuits and tubs of ice-cream alone in her car, sometimes eating until she was physically sick.

Her knees had become so destroyed by her size that the bones were rubbing together and she was barely able to walk.

  

Trish Walker lost over 12st, from 24st 7lbs (left) to 12st 3lbs (right) through hypnosis 

Trish had contemplated a gastric band but her sister-in-law had died years before from complications when having one fitted, leaving Trish terrified of undergoing the procedure.  Despite her fears, her increasing disability and desperation at her inability to lose weight prompted Trish to start seeing a psychiatrist to discuss getting a gastric band fitted.

The psychiatrist recommended Trish also started seeing a hypnotherapist, who had had success with food addicts.

The hypnotherapist  worked with Trish to retrain her thought patterns around food and beat her cravings. Trish says: 'I was amazed how well it worked. In the first session I could remember thinking that there was no way I wouldn’t have my cake that weekend.  But after the session I went to the local café where I’d always go, and I looked at the cake display, and I found I just didn’t want one. 

Trish also overcame her fear of exercise with hypnosis.  "I started with just moving around the living room, just moving my body. It happened slowly, I’d start parking the car further away from where I needed to be, and just focus on moving more. Now I go to the gym 5 to 6 times a week, including swimming and aqua aerobics   If someone had said to me 18 months ago that I would even be in a gym outfit I would have thought they were mad, but I love it.’

‘The hypnotherapist said, ‘

'It's never just about the weight though, there's always differing levels of self doubt, self blame, self anger and old emotional issues that cause us to eat our emotions.

‘We rewired her thinking and emotional patterns so that she learned how to deal with challenges in healthy ways.  Now she eats only to provide nutrition for her body. She loves who she has become and so do her family.  She has actually learned to like herself for the first time in her life. The strategies taught her to think like a slim and healthy person. 

Trish now weighs a healthy 12st 3lbs she has lost about 170Ibs, half her original body weight.

‘It’s amazing. I feel the healthiest, and even the most beautiful that I’ve ever been,’ she says.

The Average Student Goes Into a Hypnotic State 112 Times a Day

"The average student goes into a Hypnotic state 112 times a day."

Many people mistakenly believe that hypnosis is some weird unnatural state.  Not at all.  It is a perfectly natural altered state of consciousness which we all enter several times a day eg daydreaming, driving whilst talking or listening to the radio and being engrossed in a TV programme or film.

A stage hypnotist talks people into a hypnotic trance for entertainment purposes but the same trance state can be used for beneficial purposes in hypnotherapy, such as removing bad habits, teaching pain control or overcoming phobias.

Studying for most people is an engaging time of expanding the mind and learning new information but for some, all that reading and writing essays then cramming for exams can be stressful.  Whilst some sail through with top grades, most would benefit from less stress.  Learning self-hypnosis can be most useful in reducing stress and actually helping the mind to absorb information. 

Hypnosis is even used to aid the learning of foreign languages.  I knew of a languages school in Spain which ran an intensive Spanish programme using hypnosis to speed up retention of the language.

Rehearsing the exams situation, seeing yourself be calm and recalling the information is very beneficial.  Hypnosis is used in a similar way to improve sports performance.  Knowing how to play tennis to a high standard is one thing but mentally seeing yourself serving well and placing the ball outside of your opponent’s reach is a large part of success.  Top athletes in many sports use hypnosis to their advantage.  It is also used to motivate an improvement in performance.

Going back to exams, hypnosis is used to mentally prepare and rehearse driving tests and flying tests.  I once helped a man who had failed the test for his Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) three times.  This was costing him a great deal of money so he came to me for hypnosis and successfully flew through the exam.  Excuse the pun!

Hypnotists can work with children over the age of seven and children make very good hypnotic subjects as they are so creative and use their visual imagination well.  They love being taken for a “ride on a flying carpet” or seeing themselves “as a hero scoring the winning goal.”  As well as helping with studying and helping to cope with exam nerves, hypnosis boosts self-confidence and we can always do with a little more confidence. 

Have you thought of helping your child achieve their best results with hypnosis?

Stop Smoking with Stoptober 2013 the Easy Way

Smokers in the UK are encouraged to stop smoking for 28 days in October 2013.  If you can stop for 28 days you are five times more likely to stop for good.

"During the Stoptober 2012 campaign, a staggering £25 million was saved by the 160,000 people from not buying cigarettes.
Chief Medical Officer Professor Dame Sally Davies said: “Half of all smokers die as a result of smoking, this is the single biggest cause of premature death taking more than 100,000 lives in the UK and costing the NHS up to £2.7bn each year.
It is estimated that you add an additional seven days of life for every 28 days you remain smokefree.  
“We want every smoker to consider making a quit attempt this October and join the thousands of people who are feeling the benefits from stopping smoking last year.” (1)

That is the good news but stopping smoking by willpower alone is hard, very hard.  The extremely addictive drug of nicotine does not give up easily as anyone who has tried to go "cold turkey" will tell you.

Nicotine replacement products might help kick the habit but they keep you addicted to nicotine.  I know someone who has been chewing Nicorette chewing gum for 15 years and the gum has been linked to oral cancer.

I encourage you to stop smoking in October but do it the easy way with safe, natural and effective hypnosis.

 “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)

The average smoker smokes a packet of 20 cigarettes per day at £7 so spends about £210 every month ...of net income.  Stop smoking with me and donate what you would have spent on smoking to a great charity.  I recommend Brainstrust which helps patients with brain tumours and their carers.
