Hypnotherapy Scripts Online

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.

Using Metaphors in NLP and Therapy - Book Recommendations

The word metaphor is derived from the Greek and literally means "to carry across". A metaphor makes a comparison and way of describing a situation which helps the listener to see a situation in a new light. In NLP metaphors are used "to chunk sideways", moving the listener from one context to another. This can be in therapy or coaching, in group training situations or in management.

As Nick Owen describes in his book The Magic of Metaphor,

"Metaphors are not simply poetic or rhetorical embellishments, but powerful devices for shaping perception and experience."

Using metaphors in therapy may take years of practice so the following books are excellent sources of reference and ideas. Just follow the links to buy them from Amazon:

Hypnotherapy to Stop Blushing

What Causes Facial Blushing?
Blushing is the result of the capillaries beneath the skin widening. More blood accumulates in this area causing the skin to go red. Chemically speaking, the widening of the capillaries is caused by a release of adrenalin.

Blushing is a non verbal display of emotions, triggered by a sense of some kind of threat whilst chronic blushing, or erythrophobia, is thought to be caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system.

Generally blushing is associated with a feeling of inferiority. It is important to note that the conscious part of the mind may know that this feeling is totally illogical and yet the unconscious part may still feel a sense of being inferior.

From this, it is highly probable that blushing occurs as some evolutionary mechanism whereby in a social interaction, one shows submission to the other more dominant party. Looking at the animal kingdom, there is certainly precedence for this kind of signaling mechanism. Especially where in a tribe situation, there would be one dominant male, the alpha male. Showing submission in a possibly threatening stuation may well result in survival for the non alpha male.

The problem is that this mechanism is no longer relevant to our modern society.

Treatment with Hypnotherapy
I have treated blushing effectively with a ruler method which I found on the Hypnotic World Scripts Service. Under hypnosis, the person sees a ruler standing in the ground with a pointer which indicates the current level of discomfort. Using self-hypnosis, the person learns to lower the level as low as possible as they remain calm and relaxed. The embedded suggestion is that should they begin to redden from embarrassment, all they have to do is mentally lower the pointer, down and down. Their face will then quickly cool down and return to its normal colour.

Hypnotherapy always helps to strengthen the ego and reduce underlying stress and anxiety. Like many behaviours that hypnosis treats, it reconditions the unwanted blushing response to the trigger, whether known consciously or not.

There is also a download hypnosis MP3 to treat blushing available.

While researching treatment for blushing I also found something on surgery. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is the procedure that is most commonly associated with facial blushing. It involves part of the sympathetic nerve being burned, severed, removed or clamped. The surgery is predominately used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating, especially of the palms), but it is also used to treat facial blushing.

SSRI drugs (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or Beta-blockers are also prescribed, sometimes with side effects such as weight gain. The only side-effect with hypnotherapy is a relaxing, enjoyable experience.

Waking Hypnosis

Waking hypnosis is a state of mind in which there is no difference between being hypnotized, with the eyes open or the eyes shut. The state of mind is the same.

Waking hypnosis is a state of hyper-awareness or concentrated attention. As a result, there are not the distractions in waking hypnosis like in the conscious state. It can be used very effectively if efforts are concentrated on a single project.

For instance, if one has an intricate or exacting task to do, he may do it better by using waking hypnosis. This can mean playing a better game of golf, bowling a better game, studying with more retention and recall, or writing a letter, poem, story or scientific document.

Waking hypnosis can mean a greater command of mental and intellectual capacities at any given time with correct preparation and suggestion. Those who use it cover a wide swath of endeavour, from weight lifters to oral surgeons, from engravers to gymnasts, from real estate salesmen to lecturers and teachers, from billiard champions to actors.

Waking hypnosis means being tuned in and turned on to a specific project. As in the case of hypnosis generally, there seems as yet to be no clearly defined scientific explanation or study as to precisely how waking hypnosis works and how its mental alterations function.

We know that it can be a self-directed state, or one directed by a hypnotist but exactly what in the way of brainwave alteration or energy change takes place has yet to be scientifically studied and documented. There are persons who do better than others in waking hypnosis.

We cannot explain, for example, why a subject who in the conscious state can only do ten push-ups can consistently do fifteen in waking hypnosis. We cannot explain why it is that intuition, concentration and inner control of one's talents are increased and augmented with waking hypnosis. All we know is that it does work, but not "how" or "why."

Similarly, expanded awareness is a technique of focussing on a spot above the normal height of vision then allowing the eyes to expand left and right to take in a wide range of awareness. It is a useful learning technique at seminars or in lectures.

5 Hypnosis Myths Exploded

OVER the years, hypnosis has picked up all sorts of weird associations from stage hypnotists, the media and superstition. This is a great shame, because in reality, hypnosis is your single most effective tool for change. Hypnosis is your birthright, and you should know how to use it so it doesn't use you. Here we dispel the biggest hypnosis myths.

Hypnosis Myth 1) All hypnosis is the same

As with anything, hypnosis can be good, bad or indifferent. The most common is old-style authoritarian hypnosis of the type "You are getting sleepy, you are feeling confident". Unsurprisingly, this sort of hypnosis doesn't work well with many people. Good hypnosis uses subtle psychological principles and advanced communication patterns.

It's like the difference between a football coach who thinks you'll perform best if he yells at you, compared with the more elegant style of a great leader who knows that to get the best from his people, he needs to understand motivation, to cajole, encourage and reward.

Hypnosis Downloads.com offers hundreds of sessions using the best type of hypnosis.

Hypnosis Myth 2) Subliminals work

Subliminals are words that you can't hear. Common sense says they shouldn't work, and there's no research proving that they do.

Hypnosis Myth 3) Some people can't be hypnotized

The only reason you can't be hypnotized is if you are incapable of paying attention due to extremely low IQ or brain damage. That's not to say that every hypnotist can hypnotize you however. The more flexible the hypnotist, the more effective she will be with the largest number of people.

Hypnosis Myth 4) Hypnosis is something weird that other people do to you

If you couldn't go into hypnosis, you wouldn't be able to sleep, to learn, or get nervous through 'negative self hypnosis'. (You know when you imagine things going wrong and it makes you feel anxious? Well that's self hypnosis!)

Hypnosis is simply a deliberate utilization of the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) or dream state. We're not giving people medication here – if it wasn't a natural ability, hypnosis wouldn't work!

Hypnosis Myth 5) You lose control in hypnosis

Crazy news stories, stage hypnotists and gossip have created the illusion that you lose control in hypnosis. In fact, when hypnotized, you are relaxed and focused – and able to choose to get up and walk away at any time. You choose to give your attention to the hypnotist, and you can withdraw it at any time.

If you have been scared of hypnosis in the past, this article has hopefully convinced you to at least give it a try. But remember, ensure what you're getting is the real thing. Visit www.hypnosisdownloads.com

Are You Ready To Stop Smoking with Hypnosis?

If you have decided you want to stop smoking, you might have heard of various methods including nicotine patches, nicotine chewing gum, acupuncture, prescription drugs and will-power. So, why use hypnosis?

1. It works immediately.
2. Hypnosis reprograms your mind at the powerful subconscious level to make the changes permanent.
3. A hypnosis session is pleasant and deeply relaxing with no side effects.

Have you considered what your life would be like if you never smoked again?
Imagine feeling healthy every day if you were no longer inhaling tobacco smoke with all its poisons into your body. Imagine starting the day without a coughing fit. Imagine feeling younger, fitter and more attractive if your body was optimising your health and energy, rather than suffering additional damage every day.

Imagine how happy and confident you would feel knowing that you had lengthened your life by years, possibly decades, and knowing you had greatly improved your chances of avoiding health problems.

Your family will thank you for taking responsibility to give you the best chance of a long and healthy life. A friend's husband died of lung cancer after 20 years of smoking, leaving behind an adoring wife and two girls who were not even ten years old. His girls still resent him for continuing to smoke when they begged him to stop and now leaving them so early in their lives.

Think about the thousands you will save over the years and all the fun things you can do to improve the quality of your life and of your loved ones. Wouldn't you rather put your children through university than smoke your way to an early grave?

Just imagine ...

The Fastest Way to Transform Your Life

There are several ways to stop smoking but many take a lot of time, many have a low success rate and some even have damaging side effects. Nicotine based products might stop you smoking but keep you addicted to nicotine with the possible risk of oral cancer from nicotine chewing gum.

Hypnotherapy, by contrast, offers a method which enables the smoker to give up smoking immediately, permanently in a deep, relaxing way without any side effects. New Scientist magazine (October 1992) investigated the various stop smoking methods available in a huge study involving 72,000 people and found hypnotherapy to be the most successful.

Stop Smoking with Hypnotherapy

The hypnotherapist induces hypnosis which is a simple and relaxing process which everyone can experience and then makes a number of suggestions to you which will allow you to leave smoking behind in the past.

How It Works

Every smoker started smoking for a reason, often during their teenage years to "appear big and grown up". Everyone thinks they can stop anytime they want to but often find it is not as easy as they think. So they look at various ways of stopping, usually waste lots of time and money before trying hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind direct because that is where every experience we have ever been through is stored and creates habits, good and bad ones. The subconscious mind does not know any difference between imagination and reality so if you reprogram it with positive outcomes, albeit imagined ones, it will do what is necessary to make them a reality. That is why hypnotherapy works for so many issues, not just stopping smoking.

Your hypnosis session will reinforce the positive outcomes of becoming and remaining a non-smoker.

Some people even have unnecessary fears about stopping smoking such as overeating as a substitute and putting on weight. Hypnosis will give positive suggestions to stop that happening. You will not be fighting cravings but rather enjoying the benefits of clean air, unclogged lungs, fresh-smelling clothes.

Remember that international scientific research by New Scientist reported that hypnotherapy is a much more powerful help than willpower alone, gum, patches and the other methods.

The average smoker spends around £2000 per year on smoking so stopping smoking will save a fortune over the years. Maybe even enough to buy your home outright. It therefore makes sense to invest a relatively small sum now to stop smoking quickly, either by visiting a qualified and experienced hypnotherapist for personal therapy or download a hypnosis Mp3 to overcome the habit in the comfort of your own home. You can find a download hypnosis Mp3 here or here.
