Coming Out of Depression
How hypnosis can lift the dark clouds and give you a break from the darkness
Why is it when you are depressed you simply can't see any way out?
Why do things always appear at their worst, even if you know things look better at other times?
The reason is that depression exhausts your brain, and so makes you interpret reality in black or white, extreme and negative ways.
Depression, or 'nervous exhaustion'
Depression is exhaustion brought about by an incredibly stressful or emotional time. Over-worrying and over-analyzing, inward-looking negative rumination all cause and maintain depression.
One way to get a quick break from this onslaught is to get deep relaxation. This can give your brain the rest it needs and partially restore your depleted resources. Regular relaxation can help lift depression as part of a wider depression treatment program.
How hypnosis can help with depression
'Coming Out of Depression' is a gentle, permissive hypnosis session designed to help you feel positive and strong about your future as depression starts to fade from your life. You can consider 'Coming Out of Depression' as a tool to aid your recovery.
As you listen, you'll first notice how deeply you relax (depressed people often relax faster and deeper than anyone else because their brain is so in need of it).
Then, you'll start to see things in more optimistic ways, perhaps just a glimmer at first, then more and more as you continue to use the session.
And as you continue to use the uplifting hypnosis session, the cumulative effect of repeated deep relaxation and positive suggestion will help you feel more energized and positive in a more general way.

How to Break Bad Habits with Hypnosis
Let gentle, permissive hypnosis replace those old habit patterns with healthier ones
Many people think it's difficult to break bad habits. Those sneaky negative behavior patterns that insinuate their way into our lives, seemingly behind our backs, are like those pesky 'mogwai' creatures in the movie Gremlins.
Remember them? Ever so cute to start with, but break the handling rules and they'll run amok in your life. And it feels like there's nothing you can do about it.
Why habits are like the 'gremlins'
Interestingly, one of the handling rules is that mogwai 'must not be fed after midnight' or they will multiply and transmogrify into the dreaded gremlins - destructive and vindictive creatures.
'Feeding after midnight' is a wonderful metaphor for the way we unconsciously let our bad habits develop. By the time we 'wake up' to them, they have become deeply embedded in our lives.
In the movie, the gremlins were eventually defeated by breaking another handling rule - 'no exposure to sunlight'. This is a good metaphor for 'making bad habits conscious'.
But though consciousness is a necessary first step - you can't get rid of them if you don't know you have them - it's not enough, in real life, to destroy them.
Why you need more than willpower to overcome negative habits
The difficulty you encounter when you first try to break bad habits is that habits (like the mogwai/gremlins) just don't respond to orders. You summon your willpower, you tell yourself firmly not to do it, and even feel sure you won't do it...and then you find that you've done it again, anyway.
It seems you just can't win a straight out battle with habits. And many people give up at that point and say "I just can't help it!"
But there is an easier way.
How hypnosis can help beat the habits you hate
Break Bad Habits is an audio hypnosis session which lets you get right to the root of automatic negative patterns - which is in your unconscious mind.
Although you need willpower to start dealing effectively with unwanted behaviors, you need a 'change of mind' to finish with them. In this session you'll learn exactly what conscious steps to take. And you will actually take the all important unconscious steps.
As you relax in profound trance, you will effortlessly absorb a new, powerful, hypnotically generated pattern making process and put it directly to use in your inner mind - where your instinctive behavior patterns are created and embedded.
You can use this process to deal with a single problem pattern or any number of unwanted behaviors, allowing yourself to become more of who you really want to be.

Instant Generalized Anxiety Disorder Treatment
Use hypnosis for anxiety and you can feel calm today
Are you often overwhelmed by worry and anxiety, even when there is no major cause for concern in your life?
Do you wonder where all those nebulous stomach churning fears spring from and how you can stop them?
Constant worry is debilitating and exhausting
Whether you are fretting about real and pressing problems that you have to solve or whether your mind is full of fears and fantasies about what might go wrong, the effect is the same.
You can't think straight, you feel tense and stressed, your digestion plays up, you can't sleep, you feel sick and there seems no way out. It's a nightmare.
The constant state of 'red alert'
People often compare the state of generalized anxiety to being on constant 'red alert'. It feels as if there is an immediate 'threat' out there.
You are constantly on the look out, even though you don't know what you are looking for, or what you will do if you find it. The comparison is a good one.
It's as if your 'danger sensor' has been set to trip at too low a point. Everything starts to feel threatening.
The vicious spiral of worry
And of course the human danger sensor is not a piece of digital equipment that you can just reset with the flick of a switch. It has an internal feedback mechanism that's regulated by your emotions.
So the more you worry... the more you worry. It's a vicious spiral, but not irreversible.
Because the good news is that this feedback loop works both ways. The less you worry... the less you worry, and the spiral becomes your friend. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Treatment hypnosis audio can imprint that positive feedback at an unconscious level and prevent excessive worrying from returning.
How hypnosis for anxiety works
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Treatment is a hypnosis session created by psychologists who are highly experienced in treating anxiety. From the very first time you listen to it, you will notice that you
feel more relaxed than you have felt in a long time or ever
experience a growing sense of calm in your mind and body
begin to develop a new perspective in your mind
find it easier to deal with what needs to be dealt with
become more able to set concerns aside and enjoy life
learn how to prevent excessive worry from returning.

How to Adopt the Beginner's Mind for effective learning
How to Adopt the Beginner's Mind
Learn how to access the 'beginner's mind' state that is the basis of all truly effective learning
What would it be like to access the true 'beginner's mind' when you set out to learn something?
Just how open, flexible, curious and eager to take in new knowledge, new understandings, can you be?
We all once had beginners' minds. Every one of us started life ignorant of everything and incapable of anything. We knew nothing, and we could do nothing.
We had no presumptions about the world and we were fascinated with everything that we could see, hear, touch, taste and smell.
And look at us now!
But there is a mystery. Humans are amazingly capable of learning absolutely anything, be it mental knowledge or physical skill, yet so many adults struggle to learn and master new things. Not just completely new things they knew nothing about before, but even new things in subjects and fields they know well.
Why is this?
Why is it sometimes so hard to learn new things?
Well, one thing that gets in the way is the stuff you already know. Knowledge is wonderful, and we are very attached to it. When we have some, we tend to think "I know all about that!"
But when you are sure you already 'know a lot' about something, it becomes very hard to properly take in new information about that subject.
It's clear that if we want to learn something well, and truly take in new information and understandings, we have to find some way to get round our own knowledge and expertise.
But how do you do that? You can't just 'forget' everything you know, can you? And you wouldn't want to, anyway, would you?
Hypnosis is a great way to become a fast learner
Beginner's Mind is a hypnosis session which cuts right through this dilemma and gives you access to that clear, open-minded state in which you become a truly skillful learner.
Available as an in person session in Meliieha or Sliema or as a download
As you relax you'll notice that you:
Enter into a whole new relationship with what you already know and understand
Feel more and more relaxed about opening up to new (and even challenging) ideas
Become skilled at temporarily setting aside previous knowledge until you have fully absorbed new information
Become skilled at recalling previous knowledge and carefully assessing it against new concepts and understandings
Are ready to let go of what proves to be unhelpful or mistaken, whether new or old
Really enjoy the return of the sense of wonder as you eagerly and successfully learn new things.

Stress Management -Your goals, or lack of goals, can also be bad for your health.
Stress Management
In a time when we need to give our health all the help we can, we need to identify the sources of our stress and take action to prevent or at least reduce, its effects. We need to remember that when we are under chronic stress, we can only plan in the short term.
When addressing the problem of stress, writers tend to emphasise the exposure to too much stress without regard to exposure to too little stress!
A lack of goals can have an equally distressing effect on psychological health and biological health. Having no goals can produce as much stress as having too many. Similarly, no ambition can lead to illness as quickly as too much ambition.
Often, psychological and physical illness reflects unresolved problems within the person. Relationship problems are mainly between people, with their mind, body and the environment in which they find themselves playing a secondary role. This is not to say that the last three cannot affect the individual – they obviously can, but the power for good health, both psychologically and physiologically, lies ultimately within the person.
For example, who can deny the health benefits of being in love? The eyes are clear, the complexion glows! These are biological effects, caused by the release of noradrenaline hormone, due to changes in the person’s perception, producing changes in brain chemistry and thus body chemistry.
It is also true that those in love get sick less often. If they do, they recover more quickly.
Alas, the loss of love to a rival or death can have the reverse effect. The immune system is boosted with a positive outlook to life. Similarly, the adoration given the famous by the masses boosts self esteem and can promote good health by stimulating the immune system.
Research has shown that stress has a direct effect on the immune system. Indeed, recent studies have shown that extended stress can inhibit the immune system’s response to certain infections, leading to a greater frequency and severity of disease.
Malfunction – illness – can be subjective (self) or objective (society).
An individual may be functioning normally from their viewpoint, but socially, or another member of that society, could regard the individual as malfunctioning or as being ill – or even a political or criminal threat!
Stress can cloud our thinking, and therefore our decision making and our judgement, which can also have an adverse affect on our health. People often attempt to reduce their stress levels by increased use of alcohol and other drugs or by sex.
Stress Management is about the individual controlling, or disconnecting from, the strain created by others or individuals representing society. It is also about resolving existing goals or discovering new goals within oneself.
As a stress management consultant, I represent the interests of my clients, not society. Society is more often represented by priests, politicians, psychologists, doctors, family or social workers and sometimes the police. These are often well meaning individuals – more rarely uncaring individuals – but they can be bad for your health! Your goals, or lack of goals, can also be bad for your health.
These notes are mainly directed towards adults who have survived childhood and are not meant to minimise the responsibilities of parents, carers or teachers in their role or responsibilities for the young. The young can also create excess stress on adults – especially if parenting or teaching adopts unrealistically liberal theories!
All life forms react to stress, as do non life forms such as rocks or the planet itself.
Keep and eye out for the Next post ..
If you feel you would like some help managing any stress you may be undergoing please don’t hesitate to cal me on 00356 99355901
Keep well everyone

Overcome Insecurity in Your Relationships
Overcome Insecurity in Your Relationships
How to use hypnosis to conquer your fears so you can enjoy your life together
Is your insecurity in relationships threatening to ruin a specific relationship?
Does your fear it will all go wrong lead you to sabotage your chances?
Why relationship insecurity is so painful
Relationships are the most important thing for most people, so it's no surprise that we feel a certain amount of anxiety when we suspect that a relationship is under threat, or when we can't bring ourselves to really believe that this other person truly loves us.
Of course, no relationship is completely trouble free. There will be arguments, there will be stresses and pressures, there will be tough times. But you hope that a well-founded relationship will be strong enough to carry you through such tests.
Past history can contribute to relationship insecurity
The trouble is, sometimes, perhaps because of previous bad experiences you've had, the level of anxiety you feel about your relationship can get so high that the anxiety itself starts to generate problems.
It becomes a cause of trouble rather than a consequence of trouble. And then you really are in trouble, caught in a spiral of painful emotion that leads you to interpret every single thing as a sign that the end is nigh.
Even if it isn't.
How can you calm down your fears so that you can relax with your partner and roll with life's challenges together?
How hypnosis can help you feel more secure
The emotions that drive that feeling of insecurity come from your unconscious mind. In other words, you don't decide to feel that way.
And so, to address them, we need to work directly with the unconscious, which is where hypnosis comes in.
You'll experience profound changes taking place within you. In particular, you'll notice that:
you can 'step back' and see the relationship as a whole
you feel less need to control everything about the relationship
you focus more on the positive aspects
you can cope more easily with the ups and downs
you relax and enjoy yourself much more with your partner.
The 5 most common signs of insecurity in relationships:
Irrational jealousy
Obsessive thoughts
Fear of being rejected or abandoned
Lack of trust
Extreme clinginess or neediness.
No one wants to feel this way. You're perfectly aware of how difficult your actions are for your partner to deal with. You'd love to be able to calm down and enjoy time with them, but that's easier said than done.
How will the 10 Steps to Overcoming Insecurity in Relationships course make me feel better?
Your insecurity is driven by behavior patterns, something you learned as the result of a hurtful past relationship or even from childhood experiences. Over time, this behavior has become ingrained.
Your unconscious mind needs to be reassured and updated with calmer, more adult ways of interacting in relationships instead of falling back on old patterns.

Fight Cancer With These 10 Foods
More than a third of all #cancers could be prevented by changes in diet and exercise. One of the most important things you can do to reduce your risk is lose excess weight - and one of the best ways to lose weight is through a filling, fiber rich diet including plenty of fruits and vegetables.
"Diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer and other chronic diseases." National Cancer Institute
These foods are packed with antioxidants and other compounds that protect your DNA and fight free radical damage. Since these substances work synergistic-ally, it's best to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables rather than relying on one particular produce item to serve as a magic bullet against disease. That said, recent studies have uncovered specific benefits in the following foods that would recommend making them a part of any healthy diet
1. Tomatoes:
2. Broccoli Sprouts
One forkful triggers a cascade of antioxidant activity that lasts for days
3. Berries:
Blueberries, cranberries, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, grapes - all rich in anthocyanins that repair and
protect DNA.
4. Soybeans:
5. Tea:
Both black and green contain powerful compounds shown in countless studies to lower the risk of several types of #cancer.
6. Pumpkin:
7. Spinach:
8. Garlic:
Allium veggies (which also include onions and scallions) work to get your body's own antioxidant defense systems in gear. This process provides protective benefits against #stomach, #esophageal and #breast cancers.
9. Pineapple:
The enzyme bromelain may inhibit the growth of #malignant cells in both #lung and #breast cancer, while the phenolic compounds also provide a protective benefit.
10. Apples:
