Self Help through Hypnosis

2011-10-28T23:34:00.001-04:00

"For many the thought of being hypnotized is something that causes fear. What most are fearful of is of being controlled by the hypnotist. Although hypnosis can help people to achieve almost astonishing results, hypnosis itself isn’t mysterious. And no hypnotist no matter how well trained can make you do anything that is in conflict with your values. If you would never want to do something in a conscious state, you will not do it in a hypnotic trance. When you see a stage hypnotist having people act silly, these are people who enjoy being the center of attraction, and would even in a conscious state be willing to do the things the hypnotist suggests. The reason why they seem to be able to do things they didn’t know how to do normally, is that they are more open to their own potential when in a hypnotic state."

Hypnosis is a highly effective and valuable contribution to personal empowerment.

Hypnosis Gathering
Thursday, November 17, 2011 @ 7:00 PM

Hi Group,
I wanted to do something different this Thursday evening. I want to explain how a persons Higher Self or Inner Self, or Soul, there are many name that different cultures may use and their description may be slightly different from one culture to the next, but we all seem to agree that this part of you, your Soul is your direct connection to your Divine Source. Connecting to your Higher Self is not hard, if you have nothing blocking your energy. Sometimes we have different energy blocks that come between use and achieving our dreams and goals. Sometimes we may even have spirits attach to use that may drain us of our energy, we usually are unaware of how easy this is to occur. The Higher Self plays an essential part of your healing process, bringing Love and Light to all areas of your being creating healing and rejuvenation. So with all of this said I hope to see all of you on Thursday.
Love & Light
Mary

How does hypnosis compare to psycho-analysis and behavior therapy?

American Health Magazine reported the following findings from a recent study.
• Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions
• Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions
• Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions
The majority of people believe hypnosis is a last resort tool for smoke cessation, weight loss or changing habits. Few people know hypnosis is a dynamic and vital healing process embracing all aspects of mental health care. Hypnosis is client-centered with its focus on the discovery of the origin of a person’s issues. Through the process of hypnosis/regression the unconscious mind goes to the original cause, which then gives the person and practitioner the opportunity to process the original feelings surrounding the original experience/cause. These surrounding feelings can be healed, thus empowering the person to live the life they want to live.
This study clearly points out—Hypnosis is more effective and works more quickly than traditional talk-therapy or psychoanalysis. In a hypnotic state, you are more receptive to new ideas and you can more effectively process the emotions linked to the experiences, which created pain, fear, sadness, anger, guilt, shame, humiliation and low self-esteem.
Hypnosis is a special form of communication to the subconscious mind where habits are established and memory is stored. Because the language of the subconscious mind is visual, the more detailed your image is of your goal, the faster your subconscious mind will create the changes you desire. Once your subconscious accepts a new idea, you automatically accept it at a conscious level.
Hypnosis is a natural state of the mind that is between the aware state and sleep. Driving a route you are familiar with and not being conscious of every turn you make is similar to the hypnotic state. Hypnosis allows you to access your subconscious mind, which makes up 90% of your brain which stores all memory. With hypnosis, you reprogram and release thought patterns and habits to make desirable, lasting changes in your life.
You are in control: Hypnosis is completely relaxing and you are completely aware during the experience. It's a myth that someone is making you do something. The hypnotherapist helps you connect with your subconscious mind, which puts YOU in control of your subconscious mind—the most powerful and empowering aspect of your brain. Hypnosis restores your freedom of choice, which you haven't had in many years!

Pediatric Hypnosis

2011-06-08T17:19:00.000-04:00

Children often are marvelous subjects for hypnosis. Once they have developed to the level where they have an adequate attention span they tend to be easily hypnotizable. This may be due to the fact that much of early childhood is spent in hypnosis.

Why would a child need or be benefited by hypnosis? Like the famous answer to the question, "How do I love thee?" – let me count the ways!

Hypnosis & Autism • Creating positive expectations • Sports enhancement for children •

Working with parents • How to stop bed wetting • Helping the child to enjoy life •

Discovering what ADD is and is not • Pain control for children •

Helping a child survive a divorce • Working with hyperactive children •

Eliminating the statement, “I don’t know.” •

Overcoming test anxieties •

Current approach to ADD/ADHD and Autism • Working with child’s sleeping habits •

Improving conduct at home and school • Stopping the habit of lying •

Teaching self-hypnosis to the ADD child • Overcoming compulsive stealing •Improving reading skills • Overcoming stuttering • How to change physical sensations & much more...

Young children are not usually aware of the complexities of the mind, or of its fantastic array of powers. They do not comprehend that, "what the mind can conceive, the body can achieve." They do not understand the dramatic capabilities of visualization. Yet they have the child's natural talent for dreaming-for picturing achievements of childhood ambitions in their minds. It is this characteristic that the hypnotist can use to surmount the afflicting problems and free children from bonds which restrict them from achieving their potentials.

We can work together to help your child succeed, to give them the most opportunity's life has to offer.

REINVENT YOURSELF THROUGH HYPNOSIS

2010-10-24T22:15:00.000-04:00

Hypnosis is the heightened state of suggestibility; it involves relaxation, concentration and the willingness to be helped.

Your goal for using hypnosis should be to get to the root of the problem affectively. Roots run deep, hypnosis done properly removes the root by helping the client see the problem, experience the situation, see the distracting behavior.

There are many different ways we distract from problems or situations that we do not want to deal with. Such as all of the too much behaviors, eating, smoking, drinking, the list goes on and on, each person has different ways they may distract from the problems they have. We can work together to get to the root and eliminate it, achieving a more balanced happier life allowing you to fully experience your life without limiting beliefs and fears that may hold you back from being who you truly are meant to be.

Hypnosis is a safe and effective method to accomplish your goals.

Personal assistance, real weight loss, one inch at a time

Department of Health says Weight Loss Surgery carry a risk

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy expert Claire Hegarty has said that having a Gastric Band fitted also known as Weight Loss Surgery is not always the safest way to lose weight an she is not the only one. The department of Health has also said that having a Gastric Band surgery can carry a risk. New research has shown that NHS operations to combat obesity has increased 10-fold which shows in the year 2000 only 238 patients had a Gastric Band operation while in 2007 it increased to 2453 causing major cost on the NHS.

Gastric Band surgery has become huge news since the likes of Fern Britton had it done and as a results she lots of great deal of weight but what people are unaware of is the complications says Claire Hegarty who is one of the leading UK Weight Loss Hypnotherapy experts.

“People have died as a results of having a Gastric Band fitted and other people have had serious complications where they have had to have the Gastric Band removed which means another operation while others have had to have adjustments due to pain which again has meant another operation for the patient.”

Claire said that she is not saying patient who has a Gastric Band fitted will have complications but the Weight Loss expert wants people to look more into the operation before having the operation.

“This week a women revealed that she had a Gastric Band fitted and it caused her a lot of pain as well as costing her, her marriage. The woman in question admitted that she did not do enough research into the operation and did not look into alternative ways to lose weight.”

Claire continued: “Not only has this procedure caused discomfort with patients but it has also claimed the lives of Gastric band patients including the life of Bernadette Reid, Suzanne Murphy 29, and Marilyn Wardrop 54, to name a few and one life loss to an invasive procedure is one life to many.”

There is a range of post-operative problems reported with gastric bands, and according to research over 80% of patients will experience one or more of the following symptoms:

Nausea and vomiting (50%)
Reflux or regurgitation of food (35%)
Slipped band (25%)
Obstruction or blockage (15%)
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Difficulty swallowingIf these complications cause you serious discomfort your band may need to be adjusted or removed. This involves further surgery, exposing you to all the associated risks once again.

Joanna McDermott who paid £8,500 to have a Gastric Band fitted to lose weight explained that she has regretted having the operation done and explain how unhappy it has made her.

Joanna who had never heard of Weight Loss Hypnosis, weighed more than 20 stone and wanted to be slim so she turned to having a Gastric Band fitted because she thought the operation was like a magic wand that would change her life forever, but three years on and she regrets having the operation which has left her constantly ill and has even resulted in her gaining weight instead of losing weight.

"Having the gastric band fitted has ruined my life," says Joanna. "Not only has it been a waste of money, but I've never felt so sick in my life. I wish I'd never had it done."

"Since the Gastric Band operation, I've never had a full week when I've been able to keep every meal down," she says. "And there have been times when I could not even drink anything because it would all come straight back up."

Joanna became stressed and as a result of all the stress that resulted from having the Gastric Band Bypass, sadly her marriage to her husband ended."I used to be a happy-golucky person. Now I'm a prisoner in my own home. I don't even like driving as I feel the stomach pains are so bad they make me unsafe."

"Ironically, the only food I can eat without being sick is chocolate," she says. "And I can only keep that down if I melt it first. The problem is that it's very high in calories."

Joanna has now arranged to have another operation to have the Gastric Band removed. The department of Health has said that the surgery does carry a risk and people must only use it as a last resort.
There are other ways to lose weight, which includes Weight Loss Hypnotherapy where a Weight Loss Hypnosis expert will make you believe you have had a Gastric Band fitted without having the actual operation.

A leading Journalist Ellen Arnison who writes for The Scottish Daily Record, which is a leading publication in Scotland, decided to try Weight Loss Hypnotherapy for her to find out the real reason why this weight loss technique has become popular.

Ellen a 43 year old woman with three children decided she wanted to try Weight Loss Hypnotherapy after finding that her maternity dresses still fit her ‘snugly’ and decided it was time for drastic action in her bid to lose weight

"I'm really not very good at diets, they just make me hungry and obsessed," says Arnison. "Exercise is all very well but with a crawling baby, two older sons and a job, it's not easy to find the time or energy."

Ellen decided that she did not want to take the risk of having an operation to have a Gastric Band fitted which carries a number of risks and decided she would go with the safer option of weight loss hypnotherapy.

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy convinces patients that they have had a Gastric Band fitted to help them lose weight-allowing people even with no self-control to lose weight.

Three weeks after having Weight Loss Hypnotherapy, Arnison says that she feels thinner; "My scales tell me I've lost seven pounds. I see myself in the mirror and think, 'it doesn't matter about the extra bits, they'll be gone soon," she says. "Almost every meal I've had, I've not finished and I have certainly not fancied sweets or cake."

Cool Images Can Ease Hot Flashes

Posted By AnnA Rushton On August 27, 2010 @ 7:16 am In News

If you feel that you have tried everything else then this simple tip might just help. This is actually something I have been doing in various different circumstances for most of my life but I hadn’t thought of it in relation to helping with hot flashes until I saw some recent research published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis.
The research was carried out at Baylor University in Texas and builds on an earlier Baylor study which found that using hypnotic relaxation therapy reduced hot flashes by 68 percent. Now that is impressive enough, but you can make it even better by giving yourself a mental image of something really cool such as a snowy landscape or an ice cold mountain stream. The women in the study were a group of breast cancer survivors who found themselves subject to persistent hot flashes, but when they imagined a cool low-temperature scenario it reduced the intensity of their symptoms.
The leader of the study, Gary Elkins, Ph.D. a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor, concluded that “The finding may indicate that areas of the brain activated by imagery may be identical to those activated by actual perceived events.”
In other words, you can trick your mind when you are hot into believing that you are actually somewhere very cold and it will respond accordingly and you will feel cooler. As I said, I have certainly used it previously but the other way around, in that if I have been out somewhere and the temperature has dropped dramatically, or I haven’t put on enough warm clothing, I imagine myself in front of a roaring fire or sitting on a tropical beach and I do indeed feel warmer.
I do like remedies that are simple, inexpensive, and certainly free from side effects!

To Your Health
Don’t Be Irritable
By James N. Dillard, M.D.

(August 26, 2010) It’s hard to believe that the actress who once drove Kevin Kline crazy in the 1988 British-American crime comedy “A Fish Called Wanda” is now the colon health lady. Jamie Lee Curtis’s performance helped drive Kevin up to the stage to pick up an Oscar for his work in that film. Now she wants you to pick up Activia.
In a time of salmonella-laced eggs, and with an economy looking to double dip like George Costanza at the hors d’oeuvre table, it’s no wonder we have achy bellies. One in five Americans has a condition called irritable bowel syndrome (I.B.S.), and many have trouble getting any relief for it.
Young women don’t usually have many health problems, but this is one condition that commonly plagues them. It usually starts in the late teens to 20s, and affects women twice as often as men. It is characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, cramping, constipation, and diarrhea. People with I.B.S. feel better when they go to the bathroom, but their bowel habits are irregular.
Seventy percent of those suffering with I.B.S. are not receiving care for their condition, and many have tried conventional medications without relief or with intolerable side effects. About half of I.B.S. sufferers have tried alternative therapies for their condition, again with mixed results.
If you have typical persistent symptoms, your doctor has to make sure you don’t have an inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, or lactose intolerance, parasites, cancer, celiac disease, bacterial overgrowth, or thyroid trouble. Ten percent of I.B.S. sufferers develop chronic symptoms after a bout of bacterial gastroenteritis.
There is no definitive cause or cure for irritable bowel syndrome. The nerves and muscles surrounding the intestines may be especially sensitive in I.B.S. patients. Shortly after a meal, they will contract excessively, causing cramping and pain. Another theory implicates an imbalance in the neurotransmitter serotonin, 95 percent of which is in the gut and 5 percent is in the brain.
    Common treatments that help some people are increased fiber and specific dietary restrictions, though the research on dietary interventions is equivocal. Soluble fiber like psyllium — not bran — has been shown in several studies to ease I.B.S. symptoms. Every patient will respond differently to these interventions, although fatty foods and caffeine are generally poorly tolerated.
    There is a certain amount of gluten hysteria around, with folks deciding they can’t eat it without actually doing a well-controlled test. Gluten is a grain protein in wheat, barley, and rye, and can also be found in medicines, supplements, and cosmetics. Two weeks of strict gluten elimination, with subsequent reintroduction, can certainly tell you if you are sensitive to this food. The blood tests for celiac disease or gluten sensitivity are also fairly reliable.
    Medications can help some I.B.S. patients, but none are curative. A 2005 review paper showed that about 18 percent of I.B.S. patients will benefit from antispasmodics (intestine-relaxing drugs) like hyoscyamine (Donnatal, Levbid, Anaspaz, NuLev) or dicyclomine (Bentyl). Mild sedatives, like Donnapine and Librax, don’t help much and can be habit-forming.
    Tegaserod (Zelnorm) was pulled from the market back in 2007 for possible association with heart problems, but it is now available on a limited basis for women only. Studies show that tegaserod only benefits a small percentage of patients. The old tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, nortriptyline) in low dose seem to make a difference, and lubiprostone (Amitiza) can help with constipation in the short-term.
    “When I repress my emotions, my stomach keeps score,” wrote John J. Powell, S.J., a Jesuit priest. Most of us intuitively understand that the belly is the seat of the emotions, and the brain-gut connection has received much interesting research attention.
    More than 50 percent of those who seek care with irritable bowel symptoms have underlying anxiety, depression, or somatization (medically unexplained physical symptoms related to psychological distress). This does not mean that these folks are crazy or mentally ill. However, understanding this gives doctors an opportunity to help.
    Some people just have a sensitive nervous system. Over 50 percent of those with noncardiac chest pain and more than one-third of those with nondiagnostic stomach pain will also have symptoms consistent with I.B.S.
    Relaxation routines, cognitive behavioral therapy, and especially clinical hypnosis has been shown in multiple research studies to help I.B.S. patients. A comprehensive review article by Peter Whorwell published in the “Journal of Psychosomatic Research” in June 2008 substantiated the usefulness of hypnotherapy for I.B.S.
    To try hypnosis for I.B.S., consult with a hypnotherapist who has experience with gut-directed hypnotherapy — this is a specialized form. The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis is a good resource for finding a practitioner (asch.net). Mindfulness-based stress reduction and meditation can help as well.
    On the natural medicine side of the fence, enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules have some positive studies to support their use. Don’t use antacids with this — you don’t want peppermint oil released in the stomach. It can cause gastric reflux and heartburn.
    Acupuncture can certainly relax you, but research results are mixed for I.B.S. patients. A European multiple-herb extract called Iberogast was shown to improve I.B.S. symptoms in a 2004 double-blind placebo study.
     Finally, Jamie Lee Curtis may be a bit right. Several studies have shown that the Bifidobacterium in the yogurt product she is selling on TV may be helpful. As for Activia itself, who knows? It contains fructose syrup, which is a tough sugar for I.B.S. folks to digest, and milk products don’t work for many.
    The probiotics theory suggests that if you get healthy bacteria to flourish in your large intestine, which is the natural state of things, by consuming large amounts of the good bacteria (a probiotic product), you will have a colon that works better. Sales in the United States of nondairy probiotics were $220 million in 2005, with an annual growth rate of 14 percent.
    A review article in September 2005 by Picard et al., confirmed that the Bifidobacterium probiotic was helpful for bloating and constipation, but a 2010 systematic review by Anna Chmielewska and Hania Szajewska on the National Institutes of Health Web site concluded that probiotics were not confirmed to help. I hate when that happens.
    Milk-free probiotics or yogurt products are pretty benign therapies, so feel free to partake if you wish, but they may not have a big effect on your irritable gut symptoms. The documented improvements in the studies were not large, and other therapies may help more.
    I.B.S. does not lead to more serious disease, so you don’t need lots of tests. Try some simple interventions and see how you do. The mind-gut connection will be key for many. As the great fastball pitcher Satchel Paige once said, “If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.”

HYPNOSIS- A Tool for Success

2010-08-01T11:24:00.000-04:00

As you think so shall you become... Reinvent yourself through Hypnosis

People may think hypnosis is mind control or some sort of brainwashing; there are many misconceptions about the practice. You may have seen on the TV or on the stage, people being put in trances and instructed to do things they usually wouldn’t do, the reality to that is you are in a festive environment and a willing participant to whatever the hypnotist suggests. As long as it goes along with your morality. If she told you to rob a bank you simply would not do it. Hypnosis is without a doubt the most powerful tool we have to access our subconscious mind and make positive lasting change. Hypnosis can give you a different perspective on events that have happened in your life, with a different perspective you may have different feelings and emotions associated with those events in your past. Hypnosis can cause you to feel more inspired and driven and you will feel self-confident enough to apply for a job you have always dreamt of. Hypnosis can give you the motivation and enthusiasm to make changes in your life and determination for success.

Hypnosis in Drugs - Ten Ways in which it can facilitate

By: aaron adish

The National Institutes of Health have been funding a number of clinical trials, one in all the focuses of that has been Hypnosis in contemporary medicine.

This specific subject has been reviewed by James H Stewart, M.D., of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Stewart, whereas highlighting the essential ideas of Hypnosis, conjointly reviewed the results of the many clinical trials of Hypnosis in treating a variety of medical conditions.

He conducted brain tests while individuals were actually undergoing Hypnosis and his findings were most interesting and particularly damaging to the opinions of naysayers and doubters of the treatment. As an example, he found that it isn't merely a matter of following directions, however an actual amendment in the perception of the brain.

Additionally, and this will come back as a nasty shock to those who hold Hypnosis up to ridicule, it is emphatically not a placebo, nor is it a state of sleep. This comes as no surprise to those folks who apprehend something in the slightest degree about Hypnosis. It merely re-enforces the facts that are in plain read for years.

Dr. Stewart noted ten advantages of Hypnosis in treating the following;

1. Anesthesia and pain relief throughout surgery. You may remember that we saw this during a previous article regarding a young Canadian dentist who was operated upon without any form of anesthesia. He hypnotized himself, laughed and joked with the operating doctors and when the procedure was complete, simply dressed himself and walked out of the operating theatre.

Diabetes a try of in explicit is of nice concern. In February 2007, GlaxoSmithKline used the website of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to announce a letter they wrote to doctors explaining how sure commonly used medication will cause a considerable increase in the risk of bone fracture in women.

Again, in November 2007, European and U.S. diabetologists demanded bigger caution in the employment of medicines like Avandia that has been linked to an increase in heart attacks. It looks as fruitless because it seems cruel to tell some poor person who's been on these medications for your time, that she runs the danger of keeling over with a heart attack!

The benefits of Hypnosis with these conditions are just the tip of the iceberg. Dr. Stewart, for the purposes of this report, wasn't concerned with the tremendous benefits of Hypnosis in respect of mental conditions.

Within the past fifty years, there have been a great several studies carried out on the advantages of Hypnosis, a heap of them by highly qualified physicians like Dr. Stewart in well regulated conditions and institutions. Self hypnosis, too, is highly suggested, provided it's taught by qualified individuals. It is a means of building a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind.

The advantages, after all, are enormous. Reports vary greatly as to what proportion of our minds we tend to use; some say 2%, others four%, nevertheless others put the figure at 10%, which personally I take into account rather high, but even permitting for that, it still leaves ninety% untapped.

Study: Self-hypnosis is powerful pain-fighting tool

April 14, 2010
By Charity Vogel, The Buffalo News, N.Y.
Women living with breast cancer -- and others dealing with pain caused by serious illness -- may find a fresh pathway to feeling better, thanks to new research by a social worker at the University at Buffalo.
The path is an alternative, but promising, one: hypnosis.
Combined with group psychotherapy sessions, self-hypnosis in breast cancer patients dealing with pain helped the women control their pain levels much better over time, the research showed. Their pain increased "significantly less," in fact.
The study, led in part by Lisa D. Butler, an associate professor in UB's School of Social Work, showed that self-hypnosis sessions by women with metastatic breast cancer -- a serious form of the illness, in which the cancer has spread beyond its original site -- combined with the group psychotherapy helped the cancer patients control pain over a period of time, compared with women who did not use the technique. Self-hypnosis means a state of focused alertness, awareness and concentration, combined with relaxation.
That result offers intriguing insights into the ways that cancer pain and pain from other illnesses might be handled in the future, said Butler, who came to UB in 2009 from Stanford University.
"Cancer, particularly that's metastatic, can be extremely painful," Butler said. "A good part of pain is not just experiencing it, but anticipating it. Fear makes it worse. This is giving women a tool to manage it."
The 125 women who participated in the long-term study organized by Stanford researchers learned simple techniques, such as visualization, for self-hypnosis, Butler said. Some women were then asked to use the technique to treat themselves in brief sessions, and to report on pain.
The results of the treatments, which were coupled with group therapy and compared with the experiences of women who did not use the techniques, was that the hypnosis and therapy allowed the women to be able to control their pain level -- meaning it did not increase over time.
The recurrence of pain episodes, and their duration, did not appear to be changed by the tools, the study showed.
The techniques of hypnosis might work for women in Western New York with cancer, or men or women dealing with pain and suffering related to health, Butler said.
Interested residents can ask their doctors for referrals to pain clinics, where the techniques can be taught, she said.
"You learn the techniques, and then you can do it yourself," Butler said.
Women with cancer and others with painful illness should also consider the benefits of group psychotherapy sessions, Butler said.
"Getting into a group counseling setting is one of the most powerful tools for dealing with cancer," she said. "When you're dealing with cancer, it has a huge impact on your life. It's very, very worrisome. It's this outlet to process what you are going through."

Woman loses four stone after hypnosis convinced her she had a gastric band

A mother-of-two lost four stone in six months after she was hypnotised into thinking she'd had a gastric band fitted.

Emma Eveleigh-Anderton, centre, a company director, dropped from a size 18 to a size eight after hypnosis convinced her she had a gastric band, Emma Eveleigh-Anderton, a company director, dropped from a size 18 to a size eight after being convinced her stomach had shrunk to the size of a golf ball.
The 36 year-old underwent a "virtual operation" during which the hypnotist took her through the details of the surgery.
John Daly is back in business with second placeHypnotist Russell Hemmings used a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy to 'reprogramme' her mind.
Mrs Eveleigh-Anderton, from Coventry, needed four £245 sessions over a one month period to teach her to respond differently in everyday situations involving food.
Her weight had risen to 13 stone after the births of her daughters Antonia, seven, and Alice, six.
She said: "The treatment might sound unusual but worked for me. It was a good holistic approach and looked at my relationship with food.
"I was also motivated to get fit. I was brought up in a fit, active family but I just got lazy.
"The recession affected our business and my unhealthy eating habits were exacerbated."
She added:"Having the session was like actually having the operation, except I was in an office rather than in a theatre.
"After the first session I felt hopeful but after the second I really felt positive and much more controlled about my eating.
"It has actually re-educated my mind. I was starting to feel fuller quicker and eating much less."
A real gastric band operation usually costs £7,000 and has the same level of risk related to any major operation including infection and DVT.
Mr Hemmings said he didn't recognise his client when she visited six months later.
said: "She walked into the clinic and I remember thinking she was a new client making an appointment.
"She said: "you don't recognise me do you you Russ?" and I really didn't. The change in her life has just been amazing.
"The response to my hypno-diet therapy has been incredible. I'm getting up to 40 calls a day about it and am opening up a new clinic."

REINVENT YOURSELF THROUGH HYPNOSIS

Hypnosis is the heightened state of suggestibility; it involves relaxation, concentration and the willingness to be helped.

Your goal for using hypnosis should be to get to the root of the problem effectively. Roots run deep, hypnosis done properly removes the root by helping the client see the problem, experience the situation, see the distracting behavior.

There are many different ways we distract from problems or situations that we do not want to deal with. Such as all of the too much behaviors, eating, smoking, drinking, the list goes on and on, each person has different ways they may distract from the problems they have. We can work together to get to the root and eliminate it, achieving a more balanced happier life allowing you to fully experience your life without limiting beliefs and fears that may hold you back from being who you truly are meant to be.

Hypnosis is a safe and effective method to accomplish your goals.
